"It's really a waste, I removed the regiment commander from Lao Tzu, tens of thousands of people made hundreds of people disgraced, what kind of battle did he fight, did he learn everything he learned in the military academy?"

"Send someone to arrest this fool and send him to the military justice department for trial immediately, and inform the other army commanders of this matter, and punish him severely!"

In the White Sand Defense Line, in Shaharu's former command room, there was the anger of the old man, and at the same time, there was the sound of teacups cracking.

After taking the Baisha defense line, the Ming army began to attack in multiple directions, intending to swallow the entire Timurid Empire in one fell swoop by pulling the net.

However, the effect of the march was not as overwhelming as everyone imagined, but it was very difficult.

It is not that the Ming National Defense Army's ability to attack fortifications is poor, but that the enemy's various sneak attacks have disturbed the Ming army from all walks of life.

The number of attacks of such a small detachment is not large, only about 100 people, and if there are more, there will be a few hundred people at most.

They never collided with the main army of the Ming Dynasty, but only engaged in various traps, or occasionally attacked the camp of the Ming army.

In order to block the advance of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Timurid Empire carried out a fortified clearing.

All the villages outside the major cities were destroyed, and all the grain that could be harvested in the fields was harvested, and all that could not be harvested was destroyed.

Water sources were thrown into various places, and the corroded corpses were highly poisoned, so that the Ming army was a problem to collect water sources along the way.

In addition to these problems, the Timurid Empire also destroyed bridges and roads in various places, greatly reducing the speed of the Ming army's march.

Just this morning, a regiment attacking Herat was unexpectedly infiltrated by the enemy and blew up the ammunition depot in the army.

When the news reached the Baisha headquarters, the old man angrily threw the teacup in his hand on the ground.

"Yes!"

The Minister of National Defense, who had been changed to the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, hurriedly responded, turned around and went out to inform the military police to arrest people.

Looking at the old man sitting on the chair panting, Zhu Zhangui filled his teacup with water and put it in the old man's hand.

In fact, the old man made such a big fire, not just because of the bombing of a legion's arsenal.

But because the progress of the Ming army is too slow, not even 1/10 of the land has been occupied at present, coupled with the various problems encountered, the old man began to be a little anxious.

"Little cub, do you have any way to deal with these rats?"

Seeing that it was his grandson who came, the old man suppressed the anger in his heart, took the teacup handed over by Zhu Zhangui and took a sip, and asked Zhu Zhangui what he thought.

"Grandpa, don't you think this tactic is familiar?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "It's indeed a little familiar, it seems that I've heard of it somewhere, but I can't remember it." ”

Zhu Zhangui sat at his feet, helped the old man's legs, and said while pinching him: "I will retreat when the enemy advances, I will chase after the enemy when he retreats, I will disturb the enemy when he is stationed, and I will fight when the enemy is tired." ”

The old man who was drinking tea slammed his hand, "This seems to be the method you used to deal with Arutai in Nu'er Gandusi back then!" ”

Zhu Zhangui nodded, "I have asked Jinyiwei to investigate the identity of the other party, and at the same time, I have also mobilized some people from China, so this person should arrive today." ”

Seeing his grandson's confident appearance, the old man became interested, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot, and he asked with a smile: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhu Zhangui glanced at the old man and said with a chuckle: "I proposed this method, so I naturally have restraint in enforcing the law." ”

Without waiting for the old man to ask, Zhu Zhangui said slowly: "There is a good saying, the best way to deal with the immortal method is that you also use the immortal method. ”

"This kind of tactic, which I call guerrilla tactics, is to use the smallest number of troops to block or harass the enemy by various means, to achieve a large-scale advantage in small numbers, unable to allow the enemy to advance rapidly, and at the same time to strike at the enemy's logistics line and break up the enemy's offensive momentum, so that they have to choose to retreat, or give up, and continue to advance."

"However, the use of this tactic, there must be a premise here, that is, to be familiar with the local grass and trees, and to have the support of the local people, if not, then this tactic will be greatly reduced, and even counterproductive."

"You don't want to use the same small force to deal with such guerrillas!"

The old man has fought all his life, and this matter is clear at all, and he quickly guessed what Zhu Zhangui thought.

"Almost, just a little changed."

Zhu Zhangui smiled and sold a pass.

The more Zhu Zhangui is like this, the more curious the old man becomes, but no matter how he asks, Zhu Zhangui just doesn't say it, just says that he will know when the people come.

In the afternoon, more than a dozen airships flew in from the south and landed on the makeshift airfield of the White Shark Line.

Amo, dressed in a capable military uniform, jumped down from the airship and saw at a glance the city wall full of bullet holes.

Seeing the dense bullet holes, Amo couldn't help but fantasize about how fierce the battle was that day.

"Sir, the Desert Eagle Task Force is assembled!"

Just as Amo was looking at the city wall, a bearded Arab wearing a Ming military uniform stepped forward to salute and report.

"Okay, I know!"

Amo nodded, turned around and looked behind him, only to see that next to the airship, hundreds of soldiers who were also wearing Ming military uniforms and had Arab appearances were standing neatly.

This is a team composed of pure Arabs, to be precise, a large part of them themselves are people from the Timurid Empire, but they accepted the recruitment of the Ming Dynasty, joined the Ming Dynasty, and became a member of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, their initial task was to be responsible for serving as an interpreter for the officials sent in the future, or a local security task after the Ming Dynasty occupied Timur and other areas.

However, Timur suddenly changed his tactics, so Zhu Zhangui had to summon these people in advance.

He didn't expect these people to be able to defeat the guerrillas arranged on the other side, and the purpose of letting these people come was to let them lead the way for the commando team specially selected by Daming.

"Amo!"

Just as Amo was checking on his men, a shout rang out behind him.

Ah Mo looked back and saw his cousin, who was wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform, striding over with several officers.

"Stand upright!"

Amo shouted, and all the members of the Desert Eagle Task Force immediately stood up with their guns.

"Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, the Desert Eagle Task Force has been ordered to arrive, please instruct!"

When Zhu Zhangui came closer, Mo trotted forward and raised his hand in salute.

Zhu Zhangui hurriedly restrained his smile and returned the salute to Amo and all the team members.

"Take a break!"

After everyone stood up, Zhu Zhangui walked up to the group of alien soldiers, and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, I'm very sorry to have brought you from the safe rear to the most dangerous front line, originally my idea was to train you and serve as the garrison commander of various regions in the future, but there are some emergencies on the battlefield, I have to let you come here in advance." ”

"Many of you are warriors born and raised here, and you are also a group of people who have the heart to let the suffering compatriots join the Ming Dynasty and live a better life."

"We Daming came here not to conquer, in ancient times we were a family, but the Timurid regime, denied all this, they were unwilling to join the eldest mother, so that the people could live a good life, but wanted to continue to enslave them, let the people be cattle and horses for them."

"We will never tolerate this, every person is our family, and we will never allow any family member to be bullied by others and suffer any unfair treatment."

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The soldiers of the task force applauded excitedly and enthusiastically, and one by one they gritted their teeth, eager to bite Timur's corrupt nobles to death.

Seeing the expressions of the members of the desert battalion task force, Zhu Zhangui gave the brainwashed officials of Daming a thumbs up in his heart.

"Soldiers, the mission given to you by Allah has arrived, please use your hands to rescue your suffering relatives and suffering compatriots, so that they can return to the warm embrace of Daming."

"Daming Wansheng, Wansheng, Wansheng!"

Under the slogan of Wan Sheng, the task force members ended his speech.

After letting an officer lead the task force to rest first, Zhu Zhangui took Amo to the command room where the old man was to discuss the next battle plan.

The golden crow fell and the jade rabbit rose, and the Desert Eagle Task Force, which had just arrived during the day, quietly left the White Sand base.

However, they did not act as a team, but in pairs, with a dozen Ming soldiers wearing desert uniforms, and disappeared into the night.

"Are you sure they're reliable?"

On the wall of the checkpoint, the old man looked at the group of people who disappeared into the night, and asked with some doubts.

The old man has always held the concept that those who are not of my race must have different hearts, so he has a lot of distrust in his heart for these foreign soldiers.

Zhu Zhangui showed a confident smile on his face, "Grandpa, don't underestimate the power of brainwashing, although these people have different skin colors than us, I can assure you that their hearts are even more loyal than those ministers of the imperial court." ”

"In their minds, each of them has the great dream of rescuing their suffering relatives and people and taking them to join the Ming Dynasty, the great dream of the Datong world."

"This goal is the struggle and faith of their lives, for which they are willing to sacrifice their lives."

"So these people can not only be worthy of our trust, but even better than our Ming soldiers when doing some things."

Sure enough, the performance brought by the task force in the next few days verified Zhu Zhangui's words.

In less than 5 days, no less than 20 guerrillas of the Timurid Empire were annihilated by the squads sent by the Ming Dynasty.

Even one of the squads discovered a secret passage and entered a city from the inside, helping the legions outside that night to take the city.

The guerrillas were successfully contained, and the old man became in a good mood again, and immediately ordered all units to speed up and strive to take half of Timur's territory before the New Year.

"Bang!"

The sound of the gate being kicked open sounded in the palace of the lord of Mashhad, and the officers who were discussing the battle plan with Uschar were taken aback, and quickly looked back, and saw their king His Majesty Shaharu, walking in with an angry face.

Seeing this, Uchar frowned, told the officers to continue their discussion, and walked towards Shaharu.

"Your Majesty, has something happened?"

Shaharu glanced at him, and although the generals around him were discussing things, their eyes were secretly tilting to this side, and he snorted coldly in anger and walked into the small room next to him.

Seeing this, Ucharjian hurriedly followed, and closed the door, blocking the view of outsiders.

"Omurad, bastard, he really deserves to go to hell and suffer endlessly."

As soon as the door closed, Shahara yelled angrily.

Hearing Shaharu's roar, Uchar breathed a sigh of relief, he also thought that Shaharu was angry because his plan was broken by the Ming Dynasty, and he was worried about it, it turned out that there was a problem on the Ottoman side.

"Your Majesty, can you tell the minister what happened?"

What happened to the Ottoman side, Uchar didn't know, he only knew that the two sides were cooperating, and he didn't know how deep the cooperation was, and Shaharu didn't tell him about it, just let him resist the Ming Dynasty.

"Damn, we've been deceived!"

As soon as Shaharu spoke, he said something that stunned Uchar.

"Deceived?"

Shaharu nodded heavily, and said angrily: "I have asked Omurad to increase troops to us many times, and help us resist the Ming Dynasty together according to the covenant. ”

"However, that bastard told me that they are at war with the Rocco Kingdom army, and we can't pull out for the time being, so let's hold on."

"I thought it was all true, but I didn't know the real truth until today, when our soldiers who joined the alliance fled."

"That bastard of Omurad, the battle with the Rocco Kingdom has long been over, although he won the Rocco, but he himself has suffered more than half of the casualties, and now he doesn't want to launch the next round of attacks or support us, they themselves are in danger."

"The person who came back told me that the Ming had gathered 5 more legions in the west and were preparing to launch an attack on the Ottoman line."

"With the current strength of the Ottomans, it is unknown whether they can stop the attack of the Ming Dynasty, let alone support us."

"Damn, I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have started a war with Da Ming in the first place, if I had chosen to join Da Ming, I would have become a duke who eats, drinks and has fun all day long."

The more Shaharu spoke, the angrier he became, and even in the end he said that he regretted not surrendering earlier.

But he didn't notice that at the moment when he said that he would join the Ming Dynasty, the general Uchar, whom he now relied on the most, had a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, maybe it's not as bad as you think, do you think it's possible that those guys became deserters and deliberately said that in order to avoid punishment. After all, we don't know what the real situation is on the Ottoman side, and more importantly, they have given us a lot of weapon support during this time, so I think we should send someone to see what is going on. ”

Shaharu, who was angry in the middle of the house, was silent for a while when he heard this, he looked at Uzal for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Maybe what you said is right, we should send someone over to take a look, but I don't worry about others going, so let's leave the domestic defense to you first, and I will take a look for myself." ”

Now Shahru, who was suspicious of his generals and ministers, was afraid that they would deceive him again, so he decided to go to the Uthman again to see what was going on on Omurad's side.

Hearing that the king wanted to go in person, a flash of surprise flashed in Uchar's eyes, and at the same time he looked at Shaharu's eyes with a hint of cold murderous aura.

Your chance has come, and the Golden Horde hopes that you will keep your promise, or I will drag you into the water even if I die.

In the middle of November of the fourth year of Hongxi, Shahlu, who went to the Ottomans, disappeared in Qazvin.

As the current supreme ruler of the Timurid Empire's army, Uchar accepted the control of the state on the grounds that he was now fighting against the Ming Dynasty, and won Shahru's daughter, putting him in the position of queen.
