Ayubuz's mind went blank for a moment, he had no idea that he would be ambushed on such a large scale.

The general beside him shouted: "Emir, what now? What should we do? ”

Ayubuz's face was gloomy and terrifying, he thought calmly, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Send the order, everyone stop attacking, form a formation in place, and wait for my order!" ”

Ayubuz was a well-known warrior on the Persian plateau, and he quickly judged his situation and was clearly caught in an enemy ambush circle, and he had to be calmer and braver.

Therefore, Ayubuz chose to form a formation against the Ming army and try to find a chance to escape.

Ayubuz made a wise decision, their formation was relatively neat, and after they formed a formation, their pressure was much reduced, but Ayubuz found that these Ming muskets were more powerful, and each round of fire killed or wounded many Persian cavalry.

At this time, Tang He finally revealed his true face, he stood on the top of the high mountain peak, stared at Ayubuz condescendingly, and then raised his right arm and waved it with all his strength.

As Tang He's arm waved and gave the order, all the Ming army ambushes in all directions were dispatched.

"Put!"

"Peng Peng Peng!"

Rows of muskets spewed tongues of fire, and lead pellets shot at the Persian cavalry at a rapid pace.

Burst!

Peng!

One after another Persian cavalrymen fell from their horses and turned into corpses.

And the Persian cavalry also paid an extremely heavy price under the powerful artillery fire of the Ming army.

100 meters, 90 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters......

Ayubuz nervously watched the approaching Ming army, and he suddenly shouted: "Shoot!" ”

The Persian soldiers threw out their javelins or missed arrows.

The Ming army was also undaunted, raised the musket in his hand, and shot at the javelin thrown by the Persian cavalry.

The two sides have come and gone, and there have been casualties on each other.

Ayubuz couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw the weapons of the Ming army so sharp, this kind of musket was like something from a mythical story.

Ayubuz suddenly realized the danger and hurriedly reminded his subordinates loudly: "Forget about the casualties, rush forward!" ”

When the Persian cavalry heard Ayubuz's Akari, they took out their weapons and prepared to charge again.

But as soon as they were ready, the muskets of the Ming army were already fired.

"Bang!"

With bursts of gunfire and rows of fire, the Persian cavalry fell to the ground.

The muskets of the Ming cavalry were too powerful, and the enemy was too dense to aim at all, as long as the trigger was pulled, it could hit the target, and the Persian cavalry could not resist at all.

Ayubuz was filled with grief and indignation when he saw his soldiers lying in rows of blood, but he was helpless.

He didn't even know how to deal with the situation.

"Ahh

Two more Persian cavalrymen were shot.

"Bastard, what are you doing, don't give me a counterattack, kill!"

Seeing his cavalry slaughtered by the muskets of the Ming army, Ayubuz was so angry that he pulled out the scimitar he wore at his waist, led the elite guards around him, and rushed to the Ming army on the hillside.

Although the Persian army knew the power of gunpowder weapons, the light musket used by the Ming army was definitely a blind spot for them.

Ayubuz moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye he was on the hillside, but as soon as he stepped onto the hillside, he saw a row of black holes in front of him aiming at him.

Ayubuz was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head.

"Bang!"

A dull gunshot rang out, and the horse under Ayubuz's crotch was injured and panicked.

Ayubuz was taken aback by this sudden change, and he looked up again, only to see Tang He holding a musket and looking at him with a smile on his face.

"You ......" Ayubuz had just said a word when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

Bang!

Ayubuz looked down to see that he had been hit in the chest by a musket, and the bullet had broken through his armor and broken several ribs.

The pain was so severe that Ayubuz immediately fell under his horse.

"Allahu Akbar!"

The Persian cavalry behind them rushed over.

But before they could get close to Tang He, they were already shot to the ground.

Ayubuz turned his head with difficulty, and watched as several of his guards were desperately pulling him to escape, and then they were pierced by muskets and finally fell.

"Ahh

Ayubuz's own soldiers wailed bitterly.

Ayubuz barely opened his eyes, saw the white clouds in the sky, and then closed his eyes.

Ayubuz is dead.

The Persian army suddenly lost its backbone and began to crumble.

Seeing this, Tang He hurriedly ordered his Ming army to pursue the victory.

The fighting spirit of the Persian army suddenly collapsed, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to cover up, and the Persian army was defeated and retreated, and soon it was completely defeated.

In this battle, the Ming army annihilated nearly 10,000 Persian cavalry at a small cost, and the Persian army lost more than 30,000 people.

This result was very satisfying to Tang He, who immediately ordered the collection of prisoners and sent someone to inform the nearby Persian lords of the outcome of the battle.

Tang He's plan was perfect, not only crushing the Persian army, but also capturing thousands of prisoners, as well as all the grain and livestock that Ayubuz had brought with him.

As the most powerful force in southern Persia, the elite of the Ayubuz family was wiped out in a war.

The lords of the Persian city-states in various places have sent envoys to the city of Bair, expressing their submission to the Ming Dynasty.

And Ayubz's son Alaibu also rushed back, and now all the city-states in southern Persia are subject to the Ming Persian protectorate, if Alaibu does not see the opportunity to act, the various opposition forces and enemies are afraid that they will uproot their own family.

Alaibu knelt down outside the tent door of the Ming Dynasty mission and said respectfully: "Please be the noble envoy of the Ming Dynasty, please forgive my father Ayubuz's sins and allow my family to become the faithful servants of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Tang He listened, nodded, and then let Alaibu enter the tent.

Alebu saw that his father, Ayubuz, was lying on the cold floor.

Now a fragmented southern Persia is more in line with the interests of the Persian Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty, and Tang He did not exterminate the Ayubuz family, he accepted the surrender and submission of Ayubu.

Alaibu brought back the body of his father Ayubuz, and at the same time he was canonized by the Persian Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ayubuz family, the overlord of one side, fell, and the entire southern part of Persia was immediately plunged into great chaos.

And that's exactly what Yuwa is all about.

The chaotic Persia can allow the Ming Persian Protectorate to obtain more benefits.

As the military base of the Ming Dynasty in Persia, Baier Heicheng is the winner and loser in this chaotic region.

No matter which force it is, if it wants to keep itself safe, it must send its loyalty and tribute to the Persian Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Tang He had settled the foothold of the Ming Dynasty and the Persian Protectorate, he had to hurry up and leave, because the monsoon season had arrived.

If this monsoon time is missed, then their fleet will have to wait for at least half a year if they want to return to the Ming mainland.

Tang He left 500 Ming soldiers as garrisons in Baier Black City, and led Maluali and other officers and soldiers to return to Daming on warships and merchant ships.

Zhu Han led the Ming fleet at sea after a month's voyage, and finally arrived in the Bengal region of the Tianzhu Continent.

As soon as they approached the sea, they saw billowing smoke rising from the shore, and Zhu Han immediately realized that there was a war going on there.

After sending men and horses to go ashore on a speedboat to investigate, Zhu Han's personal soldiers and Duan Gong's men and horses quickly got in touch.

Only then did I know that the Delhi Sultanate had gathered 100,000 troops and completely surrounded Duan Gong in the city of New Dali.

Duan Gong is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Delhi Sultanate is riding on the neck of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Han naturally couldn't bear it.

He immediately ordered the fleet to fly all the Ming flags and land near the shore.

At the same time, send someone to inform Duan Gong that the Heavenly Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are coming!

。

。

。

Duan Gong was already anxious at this time.

The Delhi Sultanate gathered an army of 100,000 men and besieged him in the city of New Dali.

Among them, Timur led the river cavalry to control all the surrounding Brahmin forces.

Now Duan Gong is facing not ten times as many enemies as simply as one, but even a hundred times as many as he faces!

How will this battle be fought?

Duan Gong couldn't think of a way.

His only hope was that the Ming reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I will really be wiped out by the army of the Delhi Sultanate.

For several days, Duan Gong was anxiously looking at the city wall.

Everyone is waiting for Daming's rescue.

Suddenly.

With several sailing ships coming.

Ming reinforcements are coming!

After Duan Gong got the news, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Da Ming is here!" ”

The first batch of ships sent by Zhu Han was not the warships of the Daming Navy, but the merchant ships of the Daming.

"This is here to supply us, and quickly welcome them into the city."

Duan Gong immediately ordered his men to go down to meet these merchant ships.

These merchant ships sent by Zhu Han entered the port in order to send some supplies and military supplies to Duan Gong.

Because Zhu Han heard that there was a serious shortage of gunpowder and other materials in Duan Gong's army.

The arrival of the Ming reinforcements made the soldiers in the new Dali city rejoice and immediately boost their morale.

Outside the city at this time, Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah and his generals Gragus, as well as Timur and other mercenaries, had completed all preparations and were ready to attack the city of New Dali at any time.

The spies of the Delhi Sultanate have also reported that a Ming reinforcement fleet has arrived on the sea.

Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah and Timur and others did not take this support army too seriously.

Firuzisha smiled at his generals and said, "But there are only a few dozen ships, at most 10,000 people, how can they stop our army of more than 100,000!" ”

The generals of the Delhi Sultanate nodded yes.

But.

But one of them, his face became solemn.

He was Timur.

Because, Timur vaguely felt a hint of danger.

Timur the Cripple's beast-like instincts made him feel that this reinforcement was definitely not simple.

Timur whispered to Firuzisha, "Your Majesty, if the enemy dares to come alone from the sea, there must be some means, if possible, be careful." ”

Firuzisha frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "Allah, as long as we do not underestimate the enemy, there will be any danger!" The whole army was ordered to immediately deploy siege equipment, start the attack tomorrow, and take the new Dali City. ”

The main weapons used by the Delhi Sultanate to attack the city were still wooden catapults, which were powerful but slow.

The artillery of the Ming Dynasty was much lighter, and its range and hit rate were higher than those of wooden rushing and catapults.

If you rely only on wooden catapults and other weapons, it is not easy to break through the new Dali City.

Therefore, in addition to the use of weapons such as catapults, the siege tactics of the Delhisuda army also have a very powerful weapon of killing, that is, using Tianzhu soldiers as cannon fodder to consume the strength and weapons of the defenders.

Duan Gong saw the siege weapons of the Delhi Sultanate, and also stepped up his defense, waiting for reinforcements to enter the city.

The army of the Delhi Sultanate, they did not know what a miserable defeat this fleet led by Zhu Han would bring them.

The soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate were still busy setting up siege weapons such as chariots and trebuchets.

In the new Dali city, the city gate is upstairs.

Duan Gong had already summoned the generals and officials in the city to officially announce the arrival of Ming reinforcements to boost morale.

Duan Gong looked around at everyone and said, "The reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty have come, and His Royal Highness the King personally led the elite of the Ming Dynasty to come!" ”

"When reinforcements arrive, we will win."

As soon as Duan Gong's words fell, the sound of gongs sounded outside.

Duan Gong walked out suspiciously, and saw several Ming warships on the sea, slowly coming towards the port outside the city of New Dali.

After yesterday's exploration of the waterway, the Ming fleet has been relieved and boldly prepared to land to aid the new Dali City.

Duan Gong and his generals stood on the city wall, taking in all of this, and everyone cheered.

"Reinforcements are coming, great!"

"Long live Daming, long live Daming!"

"The barbarians of Delhi are waiting to die, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Duan Gong's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, we can definitely win!"

Duan Gong laughed: "Since this is the case, let's start preparing, the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived, we must cheer up and not live up to the trust of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Han led the fleet of the Ming Dynasty to anchor in an orderly manner, and then landed in turn to unload all kinds of materials, equipment and soldiers on the ship.

Firuzisha of the Delhisuda Kingdom was naturally unwilling to let the reinforcements of the Ming army land easily, so he sent cavalry to sneak attack and block Zhu Han's fleet from docking.

But.

There was a good defense between the city of New Dali and the docks, and the cavalry of Delisuda did not dare to test forward easily after several failed attacks.

These Delhi Sultan cavalry could only roam outside the city, harassing the Ming army from time to time.

They soon discovered that the Ming army that landed didn't even bother to look at them.

After the Ming army landed, it quickly occupied the north and south periphery of the new Dali city and controlled the periphery.

Lan Yu, the general of the Ming army, led his men to the bottom of the city tower.

He said loudly: "Who is Duan Gong!" ”

Duan Gong walked out from under the city tower and said, "I am Duan Gong, dare to ask the general?" ”

After Lan Yu saw Duan Gong, he looked dignified and upright, and he looked heroic in a military uniform, and he really should have a bit of a heroic appearance.

"I'm Lan Yu, on the orders of His Royal Highness the King of England, I'm here to take over the defense of New Dali City!" Lan Yu said loudly.

Zhu Han led the Ming army to arrive, and he has always been cautious.

Only by taking over the defense of New Dali City in his own hands can Zhu Han be completely reassured.

Duan Gong did not resist Zhu Han's request in the slightest.

He immediately sent someone to open the city gate to welcome Lan Yu and others into the city, and handed over the defense command of New Dali City.

All of this was expected by Zhu Han, Duan Gong was already in danger, and he would definitely not resist his orders.

Lan Yu took his five hundred guards and quickly took control of the city gates on the east and west sides of the new Dali City.

Then Zhu Han ordered a thousand musketeers to guard the north gate, and the rest of the soldiers followed him.
