Chapter One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Returning to the Teacher
With such a small range, the distance to reach the Ming army's cannon was still thousands of miles away.
Even Sha Suchagan himself felt deeply embarrassed, but he had given the order and could not change his words immediately, so he had to watch coldly as the soldiers wasted their energy in shooting arrows.
Han Du observed for a long time and saw no sign of cannons on the city wall, and he was immediately relieved. The opponent didn't even have cannons. Unless they went out of the city to fight with him, they would have no room to fight back.
As a result, Han Du was not in a hurry and ordered the cannon to fire in an orderly manner.
Shasu Chagan initially made up his mind to be a coward, but in just half a day, the city wall was blasted with cannons to create a long crack. If the bombardment continued like this, wouldn't it be possible that the city wall would be blasted by cannons one day?
Create a gap?
Knowing that the Ming army's artillery could not continue to blast like this, Sha Suchagan gritted his teeth and sent a cavalry out of the city, hoping to destroy the Ming army's artillery.
When Han Du saw it, he burst out laughing and said to Azashili, "Commander Azashili, it's up to you."
Azashili became energetic and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I will live up to the expectations of the Marquis!"
After that, he personally led five thousand cavalry to meet him. On the opposite side, there were only about three thousand cavalry out of the city. Azashili thought that he could kill these three thousand cavalry without too many troops.
When the Ulyanha cavalry was about to approach Timur's cavalry, they also shot once in the sky, and then hid under the horses' bellies.
The effect of this move on the opponent's Wara cavalry was not very significant. Except for some unlucky men and horses, the results were not great. Both sides were familiar with this move and had been wary of it for a long time. Naturally, they did not
What a significant effect it will have.
But it's different now. These Timurid cavalry have never seen such sharp riding shooting, and they don't know how to deal with it. In other words, even if they know that they can escape the arrows and shooting by hiding under the horse's belly, they still do
No. If someone who is not very proficient in horse riding does this, the only outcome will be to fall and be trampled to death by random hooves.
The power of riding and shooting skills is once again demonstrated in the Western Regions!
Puff puff puff puff
The sound of arrows hitting the flesh was heard intensively, and at the same time there was also the sound of arrows hitting the cavalry equipment.
With just one cavalry shot, Timur's cavalry fell between seven and eight hundred men, plus the losses caused by the chain effect. One third of Timur's three thousand mounted cavalry fell in an instant.
After discovering the shortcoming of Timur's armored cavalry, which was incapable of riding and shooting, the Ulyanha cavalry instantly burst out with shouts. While there was still some distance, they raised their bows and fired again.
Wait until the two sides are in close combat.
, Timur's cavalry has lost about two thousand.
Such a terrible loss instantly made Sha Sucha's cheeks burst into cold sweat. He wanted to order the cavalry to come back, but at this time, could the remaining one thousand cavalry be recovered?
Sure enough, at the next moment, Shasu Chagan saw that the remaining one thousand cavalry collapsed. They did not even have the courage to fight head-on and fled in all directions.
Facing the people who were running away with their backs turned, the Uliangha cavalry was naturally not polite. He raised his bow and quickly shot the thousand people on the spot.
Sha quickly checked three thousand mounted cavalry, and they all died without even touching the Ming army's artillery.
"The devils come from the grassland, it's them! These devils are here again." Shasu Chagan heard the trembling exclamations of the people around him, and his confidence dropped to the bottom.
At this moment, there was only a "bang" sound, and a cannonball blasted a gap in the upper part of the city wall.
Sha Suchagan looked quickly and realized that the area hit by the cannon was already covered with cracks and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
With his head lowered, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, Shasuchagan raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted words of encouragement to the Ming army. Then he hurriedly walked down the city wall and headed towards the palace eagerly.
Shasuchagan's move was not to return to the palace to mobilize troops, but to pack up his treasures and flee Yilipali immediately. He came here to enjoy and make a fortune, not to die in battle to be loyal to Timur.
Even if he could not avoid being punished by Timur when he returned, he was willing to do so.
Besides, it’s not like he doesn’t have helpers in Samarkand. He just needs to inform them in advance and let them help him find a justifiable reason and say a few good words for himself. Even Timur will not take his life after all.
Bar?
If he continues to stay in Yilibaoli, once the Ming army breaks the city, he will be dead.
The city wall started with a gap at the very beginning, and gradually the gap became larger and larger.
Of course, the Timur guards knew what would happen if the city wall collapsed, but they had nothing to do. If people came forward, the flying gravel alone would be enough to kill them. They had no choice but to throw some debris towards the gap.
, hoping to re-block the gap. However, under the power of the cannonballs, the wood and stones just thrown down could not withstand the bombardment of the cannonballs and were shattered into pieces, which had no effect at all.
boom
A loud noise spread far away, filling the night sky
During the Xia Dynasty, the city wall, which had been bombarded by artillery shells for a whole day, finally couldn't hold on and collapsed suddenly.
Han Du excitedly raised his revolver and fired six shots.
He shouted, "The whole army is here, fight in, we will spend the night in the city tonight!"
"kill!" ??
"kill!" ??
"kill!" ??
The guards on the city wall tried desperately to block the gap, while the Ming army desperately wanted to rush in. In terms of defending and attacking the city, the Ming army dared to be second, and no one in the world dared to be first.
Faced with the ferocious Ming army, even the Uuliangha people could not help but take a step back in fear to let them advance first.
At first, Timur's guards held back their anger, thinking that the Ming army relied on cannons to open the city wall, and wanted to teach the Ming army a severe lesson in close combat.
After a battle, they discovered that compared to the cannons, the firepower of the Ming army in close combat was actually more intense. Dense banging sounds sounded, countless tongues of flame suddenly appeared in the air, and the people on their side fell down in rows.
He couldn't even get close to the Ming army, so he died in a daze.
While the bloody battle was going on here, Sha Suchagan roughly packed his gear, opened the gate on the other side of the city, led his guards to kill him, and fled directly.
In less than an hour, the Ming army quickly occupied the entire city. The main reason for the time spent was because Yili made the inner city relatively large and it took time to run. The time it took to actually eliminate the guards in the city was not spent on
There are many on the road.
Han Du took Xu Chengfei and Azashili to the left and the right, and slowly walked into the palace that was once the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Although there is no way to compare it with the palace of the Ming Dynasty, as the former Eastern Chagatai Khanate
The palace of the Tai Khanate is definitely one of the best in the city. The large murals are bright and exquisite, and countless torches illuminate the entire palace like daylight.
There were originally many female waiters in the palace, but they had fled long ago before the Ming army arrived. Now the entire palace is tightly guarded by the Ming army soldiers, and not even a fly can fly in.
The army was stationed in Yili for three days. During these three days, the Ming army did not kill people wantonly, but they looted all the belongings of the merchants and wealthy people in the city. Naturally, they would not let go of the gold, silver, utensils, jewelry, and jade in the palace.
.
Three days later, Han Du ordered the entire army to evacuate Yilibaili, and then returned to the DPRK!
On the way back, although Xu Chengfei was in a very good mood, he was still a little confused and asked, "I thought you wanted to stick to Yilibaili and meet Timur once. Why are you in such a hurry to return to the court?"
?”
Han Du chuckled and explained, "The end of a powerful crossbow cannot pierce Lu Fu. The reason why we win consecutive battles is mainly due to the powerful firepower of firearms. Without the support of firearms, even if we can win consecutive battles, we will suffer heavy casualties."
,right?"
Xu Chengfei nodded slowly when he heard this. It is no joke to kill one thousand enemies and damage eight hundred. In other words, only the super long range of firearms can destroy the enemy on the way forward and leave oneself unscathed.
Han Du saw it and continued to smile and said, "Although we brought a lot of gunpowder bullets out, after several battles along the way, we have consumed about 7788. Without the support of firearms, if we remember to keep them here,
, what should I do to fight Timur?"
Although Han Du didn't say it clearly, Xu Chengfei naturally understood that without firearms, he could only risk the lives of soldiers, but this was obviously something Han Du didn't want to see. Xu Chengfei knew that although Han Du was not a soldier-loving son,
, but at least he won't risk the lives of soldiers casually.
"What about those other people?"
Han Du lowered his eyes slightly, and naturally understood that Xu Chengfei was referring to the three guards of Wuliangha.
After pondering for a while, Han Du finally shook his head slightly and said softly, "It's not necessary."
Seeing that Xu Chengfei wanted to say something else, Han Du quickly said, "I know what you want to say, but don't worry, I have my own plan for this matter. I will ensure that they will not grow stronger again and become a new threat to the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Xu Chengfei nodded and said nothing. What he meant just now was that he wanted to use Timur to weaken the strength of the three guards of Wuliangha.
Don't look at the fact that the three guards of Wu Liangha have suffered a lot of casualties since they followed Han Du on his western expedition. But compared to their gains, it can be said that they have made huge profits. Once the three guards of Wu Liangha return to Liaodong, they will definitely grow rapidly.
stand up.
Samarkand.
Since Timur's Western Expedition, he has won consecutive battles, and his great achievements have even infected the Chinese people. Fu An and Chen Wende walked side by side on the street, and the Timurid people who caught their eyes were all arrogant. Even if
Facing Fu An and Chen Wende, they looked at them with condescending eyes.
"Huh! What a bunch of frogs in a well, they don't know how high the sky is!" Fu An narrowed his eyes and made a sound in his nose.
Chen Wende was more open-minded. He shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Why are you worrying about them? If God wants to kill them, they must first make them crazy. If they regret it one day, why do you worry about them?"
Fu An and Chen Wende were both envoys of the Ming Dynasty, but Fu An came first and Chen Wende came later.
