Chapter 216: Ming Dynastys goods sell well all over the world
Latest website:
Now Firuz Shah Sultan sent people to ask him to stop the attack and wait for him to lead his army. He was simply afraid that his mercenaries would make too much contribution and rob the Sultan of his glory and prestige.
If Firuz Shah Sultan goes against his will on the battlefield, then in the end the only people he can count on are these people.
Therefore, Timur was prepared to wait until Firuz Shah Sultan arrived, and then lead his men to do nothing on the battlefield, allowing the Delhi Sultanate army under Firuz Shah to suffer several defeats in front of the Easterners.
I believe that in this way, Firuz Shah Sultan will be able to realize the importance of these people.
At that time, Timur led everyone to ask Firuz Shah for the canonization rights of Gracchus in the Balad area.
Firuz Shah Sultan, who was riding a tiger and unable to get off, certainly had no reason or confidence to refuse.
When Timur's mercenary generals heard about this plan, they all clapped their hands and applauded.
They were originally poor people in Kabul and the Transoxiana area. If they could obtain the Gracchu territory in the Balad area, it would be equivalent to becoming a real rich man in one step.
Suddenly, Tamerlane won the heartfelt support and support of everyone.
These mercenaries also stood by in accordance with the Sultan's request, waiting for the army of the Delhi Sultanate led by Firuz Shah Sultan to come and reap victory.
Princess Alina did not expect that these brutal mercenaries could obey orders so honestly.
You must know that these Tianfang Sect mercenaries can obtain the right to rob every time they win on the battlefield.
In order to show her distinguished status as the princess of the Delhi Sultanate, Alina sent someone to summon Timur and rewarded him with some gold and silver treasures and female slaves to commend Timur and others for their respect for the Sultan.
As a Tianfang religion country, women rarely have such great power, even if they are the princess of a country.
Therefore, after Timur received the reward from Princess Alina, not only did he not feel grateful to the princess, but he felt that he had been insulted by a woman.
"A woman actually made me bend my noble spine!"
"This is an insult to me, a warrior of Allah, and I will definitely seek justice for myself!"
After Timur left Princess Alina's camp, he had already thought about letting Princess Alina taste his power.
The way he came up with was to turn Princess Alina into his own woman. According to the prophet's teachings, once a woman has a husband, no matter what her previous status was, even if she was a princess, she will completely become her husband's personal property.
thing.
At that time, Timur can take revenge day and night for Princess Alina's humiliation today.
The beauty of Princess Alina made Timur willing to take revenge on her in this way.
Poor Princess Alina didn't know that although everyone was a Tianfang believer, the barbarian believers in the Kabul River area had a very different understanding of doctrine from the Delhi Sultanate.
Princess Alina felt that personally rewarding Timur today was a way to express her respect and appreciation.
But in Timur's view, this was indeed a shame and a great shame.
If it weren't for Princess Alina's identity and her beauty, Timur, a barbaric cripple, would have drawn his sword on the spot to vent his anger.
After a series of preparations, Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah finally assembled an army of 100,000 men.
However, the Delhi Sultanate's military mobilization capabilities are very limited.
Although an army of 100,000 people gathered together.
But it will take some time to bring them together.
Firuz Shah Sultan could not wait any longer, so he ordered his generals to lead their armies to the Bengal region.
He himself led the Gracchi Guards and part of the mobilized troops, a total of more than 50,000 people, to set out first.
In order to ensure that His Majesty the Sultan achieved a full victory in this war, Firuz Shah not only mobilized a large number of troops, but also mobilized an equivalent number of Indian natives to serve as transportation and baggage troops.
In addition, thirty-six huge war elephants were mobilized into the army.
Firuz Shah was confident and led the vanguard army of the Delhi Sultanate towards Bengal. It didn't take long for them to reach the west of Bengal.
After meeting up with the mercenaries led by Timur, in order to show his face in front of these Tianfang believers, Firuz Shah immediately ordered Timur and others to lead the army to cover his side and rear.
As for the attack, the Guards of the Delhi Sultanate led by Firuz Shah launched the attack.
Timur naturally wished for Firouzsha's request.
He originally wanted to let Firuz Shah have a taste of the power of these Easterners, in order to show the importance of these mercenaries.
Firuz Shah led an army of 80,000 men and 36 elephants. After joining Timur, he launched an attack on Duan Gong.
The enemy came fiercely, and many native Indians in the periphery surrendered to the Delhi Sultanate one after another.
Duan Gong knew that he could only fall into a tight siege by relying solely on New Dali City.
He must inflict maximum damage on the Delhi Sultanate in the field battle to ensure the success of subsequent city defense.
so.
Duan Gong sent his general Yang Wudi and others to lead his elite troops out of the city to fight.
Although there were only 10,000 soldiers under Duan Gong, after they raised the flag of the Ming Army, all of them had high morale and were not afraid of the invading Delhi Sultanate army.
The two sides soon encountered each other in a field battle.
Eighty miles northwest of New Dali City, Duan Gong's army took the lead in discovering the army of the Delhi Sultanate heading towards them.
As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
Duan Gong's general Yang Wudi led three thousand elites to launch a surprise attack on the Delhi Sultanate's army.
Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah also gave the order to attack.
However, it is a pity that the elite Gragu Guards under the Delhi Sultanate performed very poorly. The forwards of the Gragu Guards collapsed in the battle with Yang Wudi, and almost disrupted the army at the rear.
Poor Firuz Shah, the Sultan of Delhi, originally wanted to show his face in front of the Tianfang believers, but he never expected that he would show his buttocks as soon as he entered the battlefield.
Not only did he lose face, but the situation on the battlefield was very critical.
In desperation, Firuz Shah could only order Timur to lead his five thousand mercenary cavalry to charge towards Yang Wudi's army.
The armies of both sides immediately collided head-on.
Compared to the army of the Delhi Sultanate, these mercenaries under Timur were Duan Gong's strongest opponents.
"kill!"
The small artillery equipped by the Ming army opened fire first.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
For a moment, deafening explosions resounded in the sky. The shells streaked across the sky and hit the crowds on both sides hard. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and limbs were scattered in the tragic scene. One after another fell to the ground, with the smell of death.
Permeating the wasteland, bright red blood dyed the earth red, and the strong smell of blood made everyone who smelled it feel their heartbeat speed up and their breathing difficult.
The confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce. Soldiers from both sides were fighting bravely, waving their swords and slashing the enemy.
The Ming army led by Yang Wudi had an absolute advantage because they had a large number of small artillery and their use of gunpowder far surpassed that of the Delhi Sultanate army led by Firuz Shah.
Soon, the Delhi Sultanate army was suppressed by the Ming army, and the fighting between the two sides showed a one-sided trend.
Seeing this situation, Yang Wudi knew that the opportunity was ripe, so he led his troops to rush towards the main camp of the Delhi Sultanate, hoping to seize the flag of the Delhi Sultanate and control it in his own hands.
This is an obvious move to catch the thief first and catch the king first.
Unfortunately, before Yang Wudi could approach the Sultan's camp in Delhi, he encountered the cavalry led by Timur.
They were fighting in one place, with horses and figures tangled and tumbling, shouts and shouts continuing, blood flying, and mutilated limbs everywhere, creating a doomsday-like scene.
"Charge!" Yang Wudi led his troops to charge bravely, trying to break through the enemy's obstruction.
It is a pity that the cavalry led by Timur was extremely brave. They held their position during Yang Wudi's charge and continued to resist the Ming army's attack.
The battle lasted for half an hour.
In the end, Yang Wudi gave up the attack and retreated to his camp with a small victory.
If this raid had not been resisted by Timur and other Tianfang mercenaries, Firuz Shah's Delhi Sultanate would have suffered a shameful defeat.
After the Ming army retreated, Firuz Shah's cavalry also withdrew, and both sides rested and recuperated in preparation for another fight.
...
Ming army camp.
Yang Wudi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the night outside the window, frowning.
His confrontation with the Delhi Sultanate's army today made him very angry.
Originally, according to his original plan, he used the small firearms in his hand to deal with the cavalry of the Delhi Sultanate army.
But the result was not satisfactory.
In the final analysis, Duan Gong and other Dali soldiers under the banner of the Ming Army are not authentic Ming troops at all.
Otherwise, the Ming army soldiers who followed Zhu Han's training standards would have already beaten the Delhi Sultanate's cavalry to a pulp.
Yang Wudi had never encountered this situation before, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "It seems that the cavalry of the Delhi Sultanate is more powerful than we imagined?"
As soon as Yang Wudi finished his words, a sentry hurriedly ran in and reported: "General Qi, there is news from the front line. Follow-up reinforcements from Firuz Shah are coming. There are about 30,000 to 40,000 people, and they are going to the front line."
We are approaching from all sides, and it is expected that Firuz Shah's army will arrive before tonight."
Yang Wudi's face suddenly became serious after hearing this.
Yang Wudi knew deeply that if he was surrounded by enemy troops, even if he could escape, most of the people would die here.
"what can we do about it?"
Yang Wudi fell into deep thought...
The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the earth.
Firuz Shah led the army and slowly advanced towards the Ming army's garrison. Their goal was very clear, which was to capture the Ming army's garrison.
Duan Gong established a temporary garrison on the western outskirts of the city. This was to prevent the Delhi Sultanate army from sneak attacks, and also to facilitate the decisive battle with the Delhi Sultanate army and to rush to the front line for reinforcements as soon as possible.
The three thousand elites led by Yang Wudi had already formed their formations and were quietly waiting for the enemy's arrival.
Firuz Shah rode forward, getting closer and closer to the Ming army's garrison.
Suddenly, Yang Wudi raised his right hand and signaled the deputy general beside him to come over.
"General, what are your orders?"
Yang Wudi stared at the army in front and sneered: "Have you noticed? The enemy's cavalry is pitifully small, only two to three hundred people. It's really strange."
The deputy general looked in the direction pointed by Yang Wudi, and sure enough he found that the number of cavalry in the Delhi Sultanate was too small, pitiful, with only a few hundred cavalry.
"General, is there anything strange about this? Perhaps the Delhi Sultanate's army suffered too many losses due to yesterday's battle and has no remaining cavalry?" the deputy general asked.
Yang Wudi shook his head and said: "This is impossible. The cavalry of the Delhi Sultanate is extremely powerful. It is impossible to lose all the cavalry in just one battle. This is too illogical."
When the deputy general heard Yang Wudi's remarks, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked excitedly: "General, do you mean that the enemy is playing tricks?"
"Yes, according to the reports from our spies, Timur is very cunning and scheming. He is definitely not someone who is so rash. Since he dares to take the initiative, he must be confident. I even suspect that he has already ambushed a large number of people secretly.
The soldiers and horses are just waiting for us to take the bait and then deliver a fatal blow." Yang Wudi said.
The deputy general opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this, looking extremely shocked: "General, are you saying that Tamerlane's army is hidden in the dark?"
"Well, Timur's cavalry and the Delhi Sultan's cavalry are not the same at all. Timur definitely wants to hide behind and come out to take advantage."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Wudi's tone is very affirmative.
The deputy general said: "In this case, we can't be fooled."
Yang Wudi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, if we continue to fight head-on with the Delhi Sultanate's army, we will definitely suffer the loss, so we must adopt another tactic to deal with the Delhi Sultanate's army."
When the deputy general heard this, he hurriedly asked: "General, what are you going to do?"
"You immediately arrange for scouts to investigate the deployment of the Delhi Sultanate's army and record it so that we can prepare in advance."
"I humbly obey my orders!" the lieutenant replied.
Yang Wudi went on to say: "In addition, immediately send carrier pigeons to notify nearby friendly forces to come to help us, tell them that we need their help, and let them carry out sheep attacks on our left or right wing to attract the enemy's attention and cover our
flank."
"As you command!"
The deputy general left quickly after receiving the order.
After the deputy general left, Yang Wudi looked at the troops of the Delhi Sultanate gathering in the distance, and murmured to himself: "Look, this Delhi Sultan still has two brushes."
Firuz Shah hid his cavalry, hoping to lure Duan Gong's army to attack, and then sent Timur's troops across the river to counterattack.
However, Yang Wudi was very cautious and quickly saw through Firuzsha's ambush by sending out scouting horses.
In this case, Firuz Shah could only give up the idea.
After the remaining troops were assembled, they began to launch a fierce attack on the Dali military camp.
A large number of naked Tianzhu natives, armed with crude weapons, were forced by Tianfang Sect soldiers to attack the Ming army.
These Tianzhu people had low combat effectiveness. If it weren't for the Tianfang Sect warriors butchering knives behind them, they would have dispersed with a blast. They had already suffered heavy casualties before they rushed to the Ming army's position.
When these cannon fodder soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate approached, the small artillery of the Ming army roared continuously.
The scattered bullets flying from the muzzle were like a storm harvesting withered grass, killing the soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate on the battlefield.
However, as a country established by conquerors, the Delhi Sultanate had no mercy for these indigenous Tianzhu people. Even if Yang Wudi killed more indigenous soldiers, it would not shake the determination of Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah to continue fighting.
