At the same time, far outside the city of Talas.

Banner hunting, thousands of horses galloping.

"This king was ordered to lead an army of 500,000 to the west, and to pacify the vassal domains of the Western Regions on behalf of the heavens, even if Timur should also kneel to receive the holy decree, you can't wait for the border officials, how dare you stop it?"

Zhu Di angrily reprimanded the messenger who knelt in front of him.

The governor of the Ming Dynasty toured the armies in the west, and was ordered to pacify the feudal domains of the Western Regions, and His Royal Highness King Yan, after a long journey of nearly a year, finally appeased the ground of Samarkand, which belonged to the Ming Dynasty......

Of course, there is no name for the Timurid Empire in the Ming Dynasty.

He was the king of Samarkand.

In fact, in history, he didn't even have the title of king.

He currently calls himself the Sultan, and he used to call himself the Emir, but neither the Sultan nor the Emir are monarchs in the Eastern cognitive system, at most they are a local chieftain, if it is a Great Khan, this can be understood, but the Sultan or the Emir is a chieftain.

So in the eyes of Daming, his highest status is actually just the horse Timur.

That is, the concubine of Chagatai Khan.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the title, that is, Timur, the concubine, and he commanded the envoys.

The edict has been translated by many hands, and the person in charge of the translation should be a Persian, and he doesn't understand what it means to command the envoy, so he directly played transliteration for him.

However, in the era of his son Shahru, because of the division of the Timurid Empire, the latter moved the capital to Herat and got the official title of a Hareb State, and now it is because of the appearance of Yang Feng, Zhu Yuanzhang understood his situation there early, so he gave him a king of Samarkand. After all, he has been very deferential in recent years, in short, he is a king of Samarkand in the Ming vassal system, as for the territory, of course, there is no specific division, saying that he only has Samarkand, and it is okay to say that he is the whole river, anyway, how much he is given to him is a gift from the Ming Emperor......

Thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly blessings.

Recognize as much as you want.

Of course, His Royal Highness King Yan is here to demarcate these vassals.

But in Talas he was blocked by the guards.

Of course, anyone with a normal brain will not let him in.

Talas is the gate in the river, the city has gone through countless wars, if you want to enter the river, you must go here, the status is even more than the Shanhaiguan in the North China Plain, almost equivalent to the Sword Pavilion in Sichuan, this small city with a circumference of seven or eight miles, protecting the river behind.

Don't dare to let this thousands of troops enter.

"King, the little one doesn't dare to stop it, but he needs to report it to the Sultan."

The messenger spoke cautiously in the Mongolian dialect.

He was so submissive out of sheer intimidation.

After all, in front of him at this moment, it seemed like an endless cavalry.

The earth is trembling!

"Why, does Timur dare to stop His Royal Highness King Yan from going to Samarkand?"

Mahamu sneered.

"Then he is disobeying the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, and we loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty can't bear this kind of rebel ministers."

Ghost Lichi on the other side said with a smile.

He was a loyal minister for less than five months.

So the mentality of these guys is no different from that of Rabbit Timur, Zhu Di has already told them that Timur is surrounding Yang Feng in Aksu, and Yang Feng's combat effectiveness, like Mahamu, is clear, and even if it is not clear, it means that it is impossible for Timur to return to the river for at least a month.

Take advantage of it!

They're all poor now.

Although His Royal Highness King Yan graciously accepted their surrender and made officials, their first contribution to the Ming Emperor was like cutting meat.

The ghost Li Chi alone offered 5,000 horses to the Ming Emperor.

Gotta find a place to make up for the loss.

This time, following His Royal Highness King Daming Yan, if he can grab a wave in the river, it will be perfect.

"Your Highness, you don't have to talk nonsense with them, these dogs have to be whipped with whips!

With cannons, they will be more sensible. ”

Taiping said eagerly.

He was originally with Ugqi Hashha, he was the leader of Turghut, but later, driven by loyalty, went north to help Erlebok, but on the battlefield, seeing the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, he did not hesitate to stab the Great Khan in the back.

This is also an important reason for the defeat of Elberk.

also made him deeply valued by Zhu Di.

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, talk to them with a cannon!"

……

The Mongolian chiefs were excited.

Zhu Di raised his hand to signal them to shut up, and they all quickly shut up.

"Go back and tell you the guards to open the gates of the city at once, and prepare a thousand horses, a thousand oxen, and five thousand sheep for the army, and you must do it before noon, or the king himself will open the gates of the city, and take them in and take them, but at that time he will not only take these, but also your heads, and punish you for the crime of delaying the army."

He shouted.

The messenger was stupid.

This doesn't smell right!

This Tama is the one who comes to find fault!

"King, Talas is just a small city, and there are really no such cattle and sheep!"

He shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di's horsewhip was whipped in his face......

"Get out, this is the king's military order, you either do it or die, there are not enough cattle and sheep, then replace it with your head!"

His Royal Highness King Yan shouted.

Mahamu and Taiping stepped forward at the same time, and one of them grabbed the messenger by the arm and dragged him forward, and the messenger was still struggling to complain, and they both threw him out at the same time, and then threw him in the dust. The Ming soldiers next to him laughed and whipped with their horsewhips, and the messengers got up with their belts and ran wildly towards the city gate under their whips. Zhu Di watched this scene very calmly, and then waved to the back, followed by a cannon that had been assembled behind him, and was pushed forward by the artillery. These were not rapid-fire guns, but serious field guns brought by his eldest brother, using two-pound shells, because they exceeded the weight of the war horse, so they were disassembled and carried, and the heavy barrels were carried on special racks by the largest camels specially selected.

Soon sixteen field guns were lined up outside the city of Talas, aiming at the city gate at a distance of fifty feet.

Everyone is waiting.

Soon......

"Fire!"

Zhu Di looked at the sun in the sky and said.

Well, he actually stayed for less than an hour.

Sixteen field guns roared almost simultaneously.

The cannonball instantly entered the city gate.

This kind of long-barreled artillery is still very easy to penetrate the city gate hole at more than 100 meters.

The artillerymen quickly reloaded, and after less than a minute, the cannons fired again, and then the artillerymen continued to reload and continue to fire, and when the eighth round of shells was fired, the city gate had been basically smashed in Zhu Di's telescope......

"Attack, slaughter the city!"

He said.

Mahamu and others were pleasantly surprised.

"Attack, slaughter the city!"

Oni Li roared excitedly.

Then he pointed his sword forward, and his cavalry began to gallop towards Talus like hungry wolves.

Then there is Mahamu.

And then there is Taiping.

……

The Mongol cavalry howled like madness, just like their ancestors, and began to run towards the city of Talas, although there was a moat on the periphery of the city, but in a place like the river, the moat was mostly not much water, and the Mongol cavalry rushed straight down, holding shields to cover the sharp arrows falling overhead, and then controlled the war horses, and quickly rushed to the opposite bank.

Of course, many of them have been left in the moats with men and horses.

Even crude oil fell on the city walls.

Several Mongol cavalrymen who rushed to the front of the city gate were immediately set on fire.

But they screamed and crashed into the city gate in front of them, which was already full of holes, and the already crumbling city gate was directly knocked open, and with the flames, they instantly crashed into the defenders who tried to block the gate.

And behind them, more Mongol cavalry rushed in......

However, the Ming army outside the city did not move.

"The King?"

Xu Huizu looked at Zhu Di with an inquiring gaze.

"There are worthless cannon fodder, and we don't need our people.

Stay to face Timur.

Yang Feng has a crusade to halve the population of Don't lose Bali, and we have to learn. ”

Zhu Di said.

His eldest brother sighed silently......

Why don't good people learn from this bad person?

The atmosphere has been broken.

Villain......

The bad guy is holding a big stone weighing dozens of pounds, and in the howl of his subordinates who seem to be cheering for the demon king, he reluctantly threw the big stone out of the city, and the big stone flew out of more than fifty meters with a roar and then smashed into the enemy army besieging the city, instantly smashing out a splash of flesh and blood, and also bounced on the ground and then broke two legs.

"The ambassador is mighty!"

The soldiers defending the city roared excitedly.

Then, like the ambassadors, they raised the stones in their hands and smashed them down at the enemy troops who were climbing the ladder below.

A siege tower is pushed to the edge of the moat.

The enemy archers inside aimed at Yang Feng, and they even used a cross bow, which was probably brought from the battlefield in Eastern Europe, but even if this thing did, it couldn't shoot the armor on Yang Feng's body, and even if he shot through his armor, there was Kevlar in it, and if it was a torso, there was a bulletproof plate. At the same time, two rapid-fire cannons were aimed at the siege tower, and with the spray of flames, the two shells instantly pierced the plank, striking a stump and severed arm among the crossbowmen inside. Immediately after that, the defenders' bed crossbows were fired, and huge arrows with crude oil bales pierced the siege tower, and soon the siege tower that had been so hard to push over turned into a huge torch.

And on the walls of Aksu, similar battles were everywhere.

Besieged on all sides by 150,000 enemy troops.

An iconic slogan resounded in the sky.

But the sound of the Ming army's artillery is the sound that really dominates the battlefield.

A rapid-fire cannon unloaded from a camel constantly bombarded the besieging enemy troops.

The Ming army barely participated in the battle along the way.

Zhang Fu had ample ammunition.

In fact, Yang Feng can even make a part of it for him in Aksu, which was originally a commercial city, with sulfur and nitrate, this kind of strategic material, he can scavenge wherever he goes, as for the cannonballs, it is even simpler, there is lead ore in Kuqa, and Qiuzi has smelted lead since the Han Dynasty.

"Timur, send you a word, the old man is lying down, how can the raccoon dog live?"

Ambassador Yang continued to roar arrogantly.

The next moment, with a fierce roar, a huge arrow hit him in the chest.

Even the half-centimeter-thick carburized forged steel was deflated by this spear-like giant arrow, and Yang Feng was even beaten upside down and flew out, hitting the city tower behind him at once, but then he landed on the ground, and then shook his head......

"Mom, it's strong!"

He said.

The minions roared wildly again.

Yang Feng picked up the giant arrow that was obviously shot from the bed crossbow, the arrow had been deformed on his armor due to the lack of hardness, but it actually shot through his plate armor, but it was blocked by the bulletproof plate inside. As for the fact that he had already suffered serious internal injuries, and now he was just pretending to be forced, anyway, he didn't care about this injury, just sleep, like a flat-headed brother who had been bitten by a cobra, he simply pulled out his rifle, loaded the bullet, and pulled the trigger on the crossbow of the bed.

The bullets immediately struck a dead body there.

Then another giant arrow arrived.

"Where did they get so many crossbows?"

He said with some surprise as he shot the crossbowman.

"Ambassador, this is what Timur used, they called it a ballista, a manufacturing method taught by those Han craftsmen in the past."

The officer next to him said respectfully.

And it's not just giant arrows, some of them even have gunpowder tied to them.

Not far away, a flame exploded.

Yang Feng picked up the giant arrow and pierced it into the eyes of an enemy soldier in front of him.

"Throw 10,000 enemies!"

He shouted as he looked at the dense array of enemy troops below.

The soldiers defending the city next to him quickly lit the fuse of a 10,000-strong enemy, and then pushed it out of the female wall, and the huge guy fell in an instant, and then hung over the enemy's head. The next moment the fuse burned out, and the inferior gunpowder used in waste was instantly turned into a swirling firework, and a soldier on the city wall smiled and picked up a basin of crude oil and splashed it out in the terrified screams below. The combination of crude oil and 10,000 enemies had an excellent effect, and all the enemy soldiers who were splashed with crude oil quickly burst into flames, and then hundreds of people below immediately fell into the sea of fire.

"Bring it."

Yang Feng stretched out his hand.

A soldier hurriedly handed him a Molotov cocktail.

Yang Feng lit the strip of cloth outside and threw the thing into the distance.

The Molotov cocktail that flew out dozens of meters smashed into a moving ladder cart at once, and as the bottle shattered, the gasoline contained in it turned into explosive flames, and the soldiers around the ladder cart immediately turned into burning people.

He leisurely changed the magazine and opened fire on the dense crowd of human heads in front of him.

At this time, the city wall was hung down one by one.

Basins of crude oil spilled out.

Flames rose from beneath the walls.

……

In the distance, Timur's face was gloomy, looking at Aksu as if he was surrounded by flames, even the brave Khorasan soldiers under his command could no longer bear such heavy casualties, and many of the attacking soldiers were retreating. But this is not the most headache for him, after all, if he can't fight, he can still be trapped, even if he can't trap Yang Feng, he can trap the defenders inside, what really gives him a headache is that if Zhu Di really goes south from Jinshan to the river, it will be troublesome.

He almost emptied the river elite.

Tashkent, Samarkand, Ferghana and other local elites are almost all here.

Zhu Di......

If the Ming army was so well-armed, the few people he left behind would not be able to stop him.

"Sultan!"

At this time, one of his generals rode a horse and saluted him under the war elephant.

"Song Cheng, the general soldier of Gansu in the Ming Kingdom, led 30,000 horses from Turpan, Huozhou and other departments to cross the Tiemen Pass, and has captured Kunkuo, and he sent people to ask you to withdraw from Xiangyangdi, saying that this is the land of the Great Khan of Don't Lose Bali, and you can't occupy it."

He said cautiously.
