Chapter 257 The world is so beautiful, but you are so manic
Author: Mu Yunfeng
On the city wall of Aksu.
"Timur, can your son still be able to fight now?
I seem to have trampled on his lifeblood. Without this piece, I’m afraid the whole thing will not be complete.”
Yang Feng walked there in a swaggering way, like some villain who died from talking too much.
Behind him is the shivering Shami Chagan.
Outside the city was Timur and his 150,000 troops.
He entered southern Xinjiang with 100,000, and then joined up with 50,000 from Hudada, and they were all cavalry. Even if a large part of them were not riding horses, they were riding camels, and there were even a few war elephants. What he had there
It’s not unusual, after all, he has gone south to the Indus Valley many times before. But it has not been used on a large scale. After all, when he conquered the Delhi Sultanate in history, he still needed to use cavalry to deal with the large-scale war elephants used by the latter.
, but then he began to use it on a large scale. In the original battle of Ankara in history, his Chinese army formation was centered on a large number of armored war elephants, which overwhelmed the Ottoman Empire's formation in one fell swoop, achieving the glory of capturing the Ottoman Sultan alive and giving Europe
There are many wonderful legends left behind by people, such as the latter who worked as a horse for him and could only pick up the bones on the ground and gnaw them.
It seems as if you are proud.
This comforted their little hearts that would tremble in the shadow of the Ottomans for hundreds of years.
At this moment, this powerful army sweeping through Central Asia, West Asia, Central Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe was arrayed under the city of Aksu. Everyone stood in the green, silently watching Yang Feng's performance...
"I tore him apart, I tore him apart..."
Yang Feng sang happily like Captain Jack Sparrow.
Then he looked provocatively at Timur on the back of the war elephant.
Timur also looked at him.
What surprised Yang Feng was that this guy actually had a telescope.
It's just the self-produced version of Ming Dynasty.
It was the monocular telescope he manufactured in his factory in Mount Wutai. It was obvious that merchants from the Ming Dynasty had begun to smuggle this banned item out of the country. Although it was outrageous, this kind of thing was inevitable. As long as he made it, it would always flow out.
of.
Tamerlane, who was holding a telescope to enjoy his performance, calmly put down the telescope, then stretched out his right hand and waved it slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of prisoners were dragged out of the formation.
The composition of these prisoners is very chaotic.
The newly attached troops from Baicheng and other places, the miscellaneous troops from Belosi Bali in the Turpan area, the main Mongolian soldiers from Beibel Bali, the Mongolian soldiers from Hami, and even the Oara soldiers from Ugqi Hashiha, in short, they are all unlucky ones who can't escape fast enough.
In fact, the three families of Ugqihashiha, Shamichagan, and Tuli Timur combined for more than 50,000 cavalry, and in the end, less than 20,000 fled back to Aksu. After Kun Timur was separated, the current number in the city
In fact, there were more than 30,000 people in total. The Khorasan soldiers kept dragging them out in batches. These guys were tied up and thrown to the ground one by one, and they continued to beg for mercy in their own languages. But those Khorasan soldiers
They continued to throw them down one after another very coldly, and soon there were thousands of people piled under the city of Aksu. Because their feet and hands were tied, most of them fell to the ground, like a bunch of American white moths that caused trypophobia.
The larvae are squirming.
When the last batch was thrown away, Timur calmly waved his hand again.
The next moment, the Khorasan cavalry blew the horn to advance.
The formation of cavalry advanced like a wall.
Then move forward quickly.
Then trot.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a rush like a torrent.
The prisoners screamed in terror and despair, squirming like crazy, trying to get up from the ground and escape from the place of death that was about to become, but everything they did was in vain.
The cavalry galloping in formation swept across like a tsunami, and countless horse hooves trampled their bodies.
They were overwhelmed by cavalry in the dust.
"Magnificent, it's a pity that I can't show it to you!"
Yang Dayong looked at this spectacular scene with an expression of appreciation, and then said to Sister Liu.
"You are getting more and more evil!"
Sister Liu sighed with emotion.
"What does it mean to bear some infamy for my descendants?
Life lasts only a hundred years!
Have fun as you please!"
Yang Feng said.
"Timur, I'm curious about what on earth you are doing?
Avenge your son?
I'm right here. Come and kill me if you can. If you don't have the ability to kill me, you can only take out your anger on irrelevant people like them? If I'm not wrong, these guys surrendered to you, right? You are the Mongolian soldier here.
Fellow clansman, don’t forget that Bali Bing is your brother from the same god. You don’t have the ability to kill me to avenge your son, but you kill your brothers from the same clan and religion. What’s going on?
You are so cruel.
Although there is no one of my clan or brothers here, I still want to condemn you.
Do you want to scare us and force us to surrender?
You have killed them, do we still dare to surrender?
Vent your anger?
You are almost sixty. In our words, you are almost sixty years old and you are no longer a child. Why are you still so impulsive? Impulse is the devil. You must see more of these red flowers and green grass and face the world with a peaceful mind.
.
The world is so beautiful, but you are so arrogant.
not good.
not good!"
Yang Feng shouted.
The torrent of cavalry below had trampled through the crowd, and no one was alive. There was only blood under Aksu City.
but……
This is none of Yang Feng’s business!
Anyone who dies is a good thing for him.
I have to say that Sister Liu’s evaluation is right.
Timur waved again calmly.
Then the war elephants moved forward one after another...
"Hey, he actually has a cannon?"
Yang Feng said unexpectedly.
Behind these war elephants are actually dragging stubby cannons that should be rock-shooting cannons.
"Ambassador, Timur has a cannon-casting craftsman in Samarkand who can cast hundreds of kilograms of huge cannons and fire hundreds of kilograms of stone shells. He actually relied on cannons to conquer cities and plunder territory in various places."
Shami Chagan said.
"Ha, he is the only one who still plays with cannons. Brothers, let him see what cannons are!"
Yang Feng shouted.
Zhang Fu raised the small flag and waved it towards the back of the city wall.
On the mortar position in the city, eight mortars were lined up. The gunners quickly loaded expensive but first-rate explosive shells. With the distance measured by Yang Feng using a rangefinder, according to the cannon compiled by Yang Feng
The watch completed the angle and orientation adjustment. Immediately after a famous gunner lit the fuse, everyone quickly left the cannon. As the fuse burned out, flames sprayed out from the muzzles one by one. The almost visible shells dragged the burning tail of the fuse.
Then it flew over everyone's heads, and then turned into streaks of smoke falling downwards in the blue sky. The next moment, a ball of fire exploded on top of the elephants' heads, and then the other seven also exploded one after another.
The elephant suddenly became restless.
Especially the elephant whose ear was almost exploded by the explosive bomb. Although the power of the explosion did not seriously injure it, it was so frightened that it turned around like crazy.
Several surrounding artillerymen were immediately knocked down by it, and two of them were even stepped on.
The other elephants also turned around.
"You can't play with cannons!"
Yang Feng shouted from the city wall.
The soldiers on both sides of him burst into laughter, including Shami Chagan and others.
Indeed, Tamerlane is simply humiliating himself by playing with cannons. Ambassador Yang here is the ancestor of this game. All the camel cannons of the Ming army have now been moved to the city wall, and each cannon port is waiting for Timur.
attack.
Timur looked deeply at these bastards who were still humiliating him.
Then he turned around and walked toward the back.
"Prepare to attack, capture this city, and massacre it!"
An officer next to him who was delivering the order shouted at the top of his lungs.
Of course, they cannot attack immediately.
Although Aksu cannot be compared with the top fortresses of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a major city in southern Xinjiang, so siege equipment must be manufactured first, especially counterweight trebuchets, ladders, and siege towers. These are all indispensable. But this place
The most lacking thing was large-scale timber, so they had to find a place to cut wood first. Fortunately, Timur was not in a hurry. After all, this was just a lone army without any external aid. Moreover, this lone army included Bielos Bali, Hami,
All the forces in East Khotan also include Yili, so as long as he destroys this lone army next, it can be said that the west of Jiayuguan is his.
His greatest ideal is to conquer the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, the biggest obstacle to the Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty was Eastern Chagatai.
It's now within reach.
What's the hurry?
Fight slowly!
Anyway, Hudada will provide him with everything he needs.
In this way, Timur's army was stationed under the city of Aksu and was divided into multiple camps to surround the entire city. At the same time, he sent cavalry to bloodbath the surrounding cities, including Baicheng, Wush and other places that had surrendered before. However, they sent to Ush
Shi's army was beaten back by Tan Yuan.
Timur didn't care. He couldn't bypass Aksu and attack Wush.
But it doesn't matter there.
As long as Aksu is defeated, the rest is just a matter of one go.
But Baicheng was massacred by him.
After all, he was holding back his anger and had to find a place to vent it. Although the Lord of Baicheng surrendered without hesitation and lay down at his feet, crying and licking his boots, he was still hacked to death by him personally. For such a wall
Grass must be killed.
However……
Broken leaves.
Zhu Di silently looked at the green grassland in front of him.
"This is Suiye City in the Tang Dynasty? In his twilight years, he finally caught up with Su Dingfang."
Zhou Xing said with emotion.
Behind them were seemingly endless cavalry.
Twenty-five thousand troops from the Western Expedition.
Before Zhu Di crossed the Jinshan Mountain, the 15,000 reinforcements sent by his father arrived with supplies, so the troops attacking Chuo Luo's headquarters were actually nearly 50,000 troops including Guilichi.
As for the leader of the reinforcements, it was his uncle, after all, the closest one was Shuofang, and Xu Huizu was also in charge of the Shanxi Xingdu Division after Sun Ke's Western Expedition. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to send supplies to Zhu Di, so he could only go to Datong nearby. However, Xu Huizu also had many famous generals, such as this
At that time, Ping Baoer and Zhu Di had a very good relationship, because he was actually the commander of Miyun Guard, and he was also the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang. However, Zhu Di still left some people for Zhuang De, who temporarily commanded Hanhaidu
The envoy stayed in Kobdo to guard against the eastward invasion of the Qingzhang Khanate. However, this official position had been promised to Guilichi, and Zhuang De only acted as temporary agent. After all, Guilichi led 15,000 cavalry to follow King Yan.
This large army patrolling the river also had Mahamu's 20,000 cavalry.
Ten thousand Gansu cavalry.
However, Song Sheng himself did not come. He led 10,000 cavalry to stay behind and try his best to control the situation.
Leading these ten thousand cavalry were Liu Zhen and Jing Cheng.
Therefore, Zhu Di's patrol force to the west consisted of 70,000 troops, including 25,000 newly-trained Ming troops, 10,000 old-style Ming troops, and 35,000 Mongolian and Oara servant troops. They were still all cavalry, and the total number of war horses and camels exceeded 100,000.
, sweeping across the summer grasslands with mighty force.
"Then keep moving forward and walk through all the places Su Dingfang has walked.
Qianquan.”
Zhu Di looked down at the map and found Qianquan marked by Yang Feng.
"The Aral Sea."
He continued to search.
"We still have to walk three thousand miles to reach the Aral Sea. No wonder Yang Feng always talks about the prosperous Tang Dynasty. We have walked for so long, and we are still nearly three thousand miles away from the Aral Sea."
He sighed.
Obviously this discovery stimulated him to a certain extent.
You must know that he has been marching westward for almost a whole year.
After an expedition of thousands of miles, I discovered that those who came before me had traveled much farther than me!
At this time, Zhu Neng urged his horse to come over.
"Your Majesty, Tan Yuan sent someone to report that Timur himself led an army of 200,000 to surround Aksu. Yang Feng, Zhang Fu, Uge Qiha Shiha, Shami Chagan, and Tuli Timur were all surrounded in the city.
He and Kun Timur Paouush.”
he said.
"Yang Feng was able to be surrounded, so he had a great time.
Why did Timur bite him and not let go?"
Zhu Di said.
Timur still surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
It's not surprising that he rescued Husada, but there was no need to break up with the Ming Dynasty. Yang Feng and Zhang Fu also represented the Ming Dynasty after all. Normally, Timur would have just forced them back, and even pretended to avenge Husada.
Ask Yang Feng to cease the war, and then report to His Majesty the Emperor for a ruling. This is a reasonable operation. With Timur's cunning and the obedience he has shown over the years, he should not be so impulsive. If he kills the Ming army,
Then His Majesty the Emperor must take measures, at least paying tribute to him.
"Well, Tan Yuan said that Yang Feng tore his son alive."
Zhu Neng said with a hint of melancholy.
"Uh? Tear it, tear it?"
Zhu Di was also stunned.
"Tan Yuan said he tore it up in front of Timur."
Zhu Neng said.
Zhu Di took a deep breath, not sure whether he was shocked or shocked.
"Tan Yuan is also here?"
Zhou Xing said.
"No, Yang Feng took him and 300 cavalry to meet Shamichagan who was being chased by Timur. He led the cavalry behind to drag tree branches, creating thousands of suspicious soldiers behind in the desert. Yang Feng went alone
To stop Timur's army, Tamerlane's fourth son Miranshah led his troops into Yang Feng, and was torn alive by Yang Feng."
Zhu Neng said.
"Then we have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. If Timur is to be found, he can only find Daxia. Yang Feng has an iron bond in the Ming Dynasty and has his diplomatic immunity. Since Timur is also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, then Yang Feng kills his son
He is also exempted. Yang Feng's killing of his son was a private matter between them. Yang Feng could seriously injure Duke Liang in public, so what does it mean to just kill the son of a vassal like him? Your Majesty will reward him later.
It is enough as compensation, but if he led his troops to openly cross the border into Beelsbali and besiege the King of Beelsbali, then this is his failure to abide by his official duties."
