Chapter 665: The Fall of the Hero!

Timur's prediction was correct, and the city of Baghdad had been covered in smoke for a whole day since the shelling in the morning.

And what is even more alarming is that this time Daming didn't know what kind of shells were used, and the white smoke after the shell explosion was still toxic, and it had poisoned many people.

But the most painful thing is the person who is burned to death by the shell, the kind of thing that is like a fire that eats away the bones, and it cannot be extinguished when it is touched on the person, no matter whether it is poured with water or covered with earth, and the only way is to cut off the flesh and limbs, and discard the burning parts along with the arms, or the flesh on the body.

Seeing this scene, Timur immediately decided to break through.

Although he surrounded Baghdad with trenches on all sides, hindering the Ming attack. But at the same time, it also brings certain troubles to the people in the city, such as the current breakthrough.

Not only did they have to dig through the trenches they dug, but they also had to evade the Ming army's encirclement and interception, which was quite difficult.

But that doesn't stop people who want to survive.

In order to increase the chances of escape, Timur first ordered the city gates to be opened and the people in the city were allowed to flee for their lives.

When the people were almost gone, they sent an army to secretly escort them away.

As for Ma Heima, he had already been sent out by him among the people.

On the other side, the Ming army saw the people fleeing in all directions, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

The Ming army was strictly disciplined, and the soldiers were strictly ordered to slaughter the people.

Therefore, the front-line soldiers in charge of the siege of Baghdad immediately sent someone for instructions.

Chang Sheng only gave four words to their request.

"Free Fire!"

When the front-line commander heard this, he could hardly believe his ears. You must know that General Chang Sheng is very merciful, never killing innocents indiscriminately, and never slaughtering civilians.

Now such a military order has been issued, which has puzzled many commanders on the front line.

However, a military order came after that, which made everyone angry.

"Timur assassinated His Majesty, and we want to avenge Your Majesty!"

"Revenge?"

When the front-line commander heard this, he instantly realized that it was not the general who was thirsty for killing, but the general who wanted to avenge His Majesty.

Now that you have a military order and can avenge Your Majesty, this battle will be easy to fight.

"Brethren, don't let a living person go!"

"No!"

The people who swarmed out of the city of Baghdad were soon driven back by the fire guns of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this, Timur immediately became unbearable, and took all the honor guards of his trip to the Chinese army camp in Changsheng in person.

Changsheng saw the dying Timur again and found that he was at least ten years old. The face is not only covered with wrinkles, but also stained with the color of fireworks.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Chang Sheng stepped forward to salute.

"Chang Sheng, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty, has met His Majesty Timur."

Timur laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I didn't expect that you, a general, are quite knowledgeable about etiquette."

Chang Sheng explained.

"Although you are my enemy of the Ming Dynasty, you are the body of the emperor after all, and the ministers dare not be presumptuous."

When Timur heard this, a smile gathered on his face.

"I surrendered, I wonder if General Chang Sheng can give the people in the city a way to live?"

Chang Sheng shook his head when he heard this.

"Can't!"

"The assassination of the king is an unforgivable crime, you instructed the assassin to assassinate my Majesty the Ming Emperor, and there are no millions of people to accompany the burial, it is disrespectful to my Majesty the Ming Emperor!"

Timur looked ashamed when he heard this.

"Alas......"

"I rarely regret what I did in my life, but I regret it a little after the assassination of Zhu Yunxi."

"Chang Sheng, isn't what Da Ming wants is my head, I am in front of you now, you can take off my head at any time to invite merit, I only ask you to spare the people in the city."

Chang Sheng smiled disdainfully when he heard this.

"There are not only the people in the city, but also your army, your grandson, right?"

"If it were just the people, would His Majesty the Great Sultan put his life at risk?"

"If you really care about the people, why would you let them out of the city and create a chance for your army to escape?"

"So, don't use the people as a pretense!"

"This ......"

When Timur saw that his thoughts were exposed, a trace of shame and anger flashed across his face. However, he did not have a seizure, but forcibly endured the breath.

"If General Changsheng spares the people of the city, I will give you a special gift."

Chang Sheng didn't ask for any gifts, and directly refused.

"I'm not rare!"

"I have one wish in my life, that is, to make my nephew the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Now that this wish has been granted, I have no regrets in the world......"

"Do you really have no regrets?"

Timur looked at Chang Sheng in disbelief, and then clapped his palms.

After Timur clapped his hands, his bodyguard opened the carriage door and welcomed the two beauties from the carriage, dressed only in a thin veil.

"General Changsheng, this is my concubine, now I give it to you......"

Seeing this, Chang Sheng immediately turned around and said to the soldiers around him.

"Stuff these two women back into the carriage!"

However, his soldiers stared at the two beauties as if they hadn't heard.

They have been fighting outside for many years, and they haven't eaten meat for several years. Now the first sight of such a beautiful woman has long evoked their most instinctive reaction.

Chang Sheng saw that no one moved, and couldn't help but look around, only to see the majestic guards on weekdays, and now they were staring at the two beauties with their eyes, and through the scarf as thin as cicada wings, they looked at the graceful posture of the two beauties.

Seeing this, Chang Sheng secretly thought in his heart, it was time to mention it to His Majesty and settle the marriage of these soldiers.

Although the woman brought by Timur was very beautiful, Chang Sheng still maintained enough sobriety.

Seeing that his subordinates were useless, he could only pick up a cloak and drape it over the two of them.

"You two go to the carriage for a while, and I'll send someone to take you to Kangdu in two days."

The two beauties didn't understand Chang Sheng's words, but they understood Chang Sheng's gestures, and immediately boarded the carriage, shivering while hiding in the carriage, while secretly peeking at the scene outside.

"Your Majesty Timur, the foreign minister really can't agree to your request."

"The Timurid Empire must fall, and the city of Baghdad must be destroyed!"

"The foreign ministers will bombard Baghdad for three days, and after three days, no matter how many subjects and civilians remain in the city, the general will pardon their capital crimes!"

Timur's face changed dramatically when he heard this, but he soon regained his composure.

"Okay!"

"I hope General Chang will keep his promise!"

When Timur had said this, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Chang Sheng hurriedly beckoned the military doctor, who ran over to check Timur's pulse and shook his head at Chang Sheng.

"General, this person is no longer good, we have to hurry up and prepare for the future."

Chang Sheng frowned when he heard this, and asked again.

"Will there be fraud, such as taking the medicine of fake death?"

The military doctor shook his head when he heard this.

"No!"

"His death pulse is very obvious, Weichen will never be mistaken!"

"If the general doesn't believe it, he can wait, wait for half an hour, this person will definitely breathe!"

This stumped Chang Sheng, and he didn't know what to do for a while. He could only hurriedly send a telegram to Kangdu and ask Zhu Yunxi how to deal with Timur.

Zhu Yunxi was also stunned when he heard the news, he discussed with the people in the Military Aircraft Department in the morning, and agreed that the battle between Daming and Timur would last for another year.

Now Chang Sheng sent him a telegram and told him that Timur was dying and lying in his Chinese army tent, how could Zhu Yunxi dare to believe it?

Zhu Yunxi repeatedly confirmed that it was Timur and that he was indeed dying, so he convened a meeting of the Military Aircraft Department and the accompanying cabinet overnight.

"This is the situation, Timur is going to die, and he is waiting to die in the camp of the Changsheng Chinese army."

"Before he died, he had a request for us to spare the soldiers and civilians of Baghdad."

Qi Tai was the first to stand up and speak.

"Your Majesty, it's not a matter of sparing the people of Baghdad, it's about what to do with Timur."

"In any case, Timur is also a generation of male masters, and now he is dying in our camp, and if he is not handled properly, there will be endless troubles."

"If the people of Khorasan and Persia think that we killed Timur, it will be a mortal enemy, and it will last for hundreds of years."

"Therefore, it is imperative that the people of prestige in the city of Baghdad come and see Timur's breath with their own eyes, and prepare a solemn funeral for him after his death, and bury him with the rites of the emperor."

Lan Yu heard Qi Tai say so much, and his face immediately showed impatience.

"It's just an old thing, is it so solemn?"

Qi Tai rarely contradicted the first powerful minister of the dynasty and the prince of Liangguo, who was also a relative of the emperor.

"Liang Guogong is cautious!"

"Everyone dies, Timur will die, you and I will die."

"Respect for the dead is a custom in both the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions."

"No matter what Timur did, just say that he has been in power in the Western Regions for so many years, and has not caused much trouble to the people, and has personally created a huge empire no less than the Ming Dynasty, we should give him enough respect."

"Your Majesty, hurry up and order General Changsheng to cease the war, and then send someone to General Changsheng's big tent to deal with Timur's funeral!"

"When necessary, our Ming Dynasty will also give him a nickname to show respect for his life's achievements."

After Qi Tai finished speaking, Kong Yanjin, Zhang Zongjun, Yang Shiqi and others all stood up and agreed.

"Your Majesty, Lord Qi is right, respecting the deceased is the most reasonable."

"Your Majesty, be cautious and chase the distance, and the people's morality will be restored."

"When the local people see that we respect Timur so much, they will also sincerely surrender and no longer cause trouble."

Seeing that most people supported this decision, Zhu Yunxi immediately sent Qi Tai to the front line in Baghdad to deal with the funeral matters and sent a message to Chang Sheng to armistice.

Chang Sheng did not immediately stop fighting after receiving the message, but did not stop until he had finished all the white phosphorus bombs at hand.

As for sending people to the city of Baghdad to shake people, he did not send them, but only asked Timur's coachman to go back, informed the defenders of the city about the matter, and let them take care of it themselves.

The city of Baghdad has long been a purgatory on earth, and the defenders in the city have long since collapsed, and there is no one to defend the city at all.

The Timurid coachman returned to the city and had a great deal of effort to find Ali Muyad.

"My lord, it's not a good thing, His Majesty the Sultan died in the big tent of the Chinese army in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Now General Chang Sheng is asking you to come over and be a witness, and be responsible for handling His Majesty's funeral!"

Alimuad, who was worried that he could not find a way to escape, was ecstatic when he heard this.

I finally don't have to die!

Your Majesty, you have finally done a good job, and you have used your death to give a glimmer of life for the people of Baghdad!

"Okay, okay, I'll go ......"

Alimuyad did not come alone, but brought several well-connected ministers to deal with Timur's funeral.

When they arrived at the Great Tent of the Changsheng Army, Timur was in a state of return.

When Timur saw Alimuyad, he shouted excitedly.

"Hurry up...... I want to say the edict ......"

Hearing this, Alimuyad hurriedly took out a quill pen and the accompanying diary to record.

"After I die, don't take revenge ......"

"After I die, you must be obedient to the Ming Dynasty and don't resist ......"

"After my death, it was passed on to Ma Hei Ma ......"

Chang Sheng silently watched them perform, no matter what they said, he didn't bother to listen.

Of course, the most important reason is not to understand.

But it doesn't matter if you listen or not, Timur is in their own hands, and they can't play any more flowers.

Timur was completely breathed after intermittently finishing the edict.

Seeing this, Alimuyad lay on Timur's corpse and wept bitterly, and the ministers he brought with him and the Amen in Baghdad wept with him.

Far from stopping them from crying, Chang Sheng also thoughtfully built a funeral shed for them, allowing the surviving people in Baghdad to go out of the city to mourn.

Three days later, Qi Tai led a group of officials and rushed to the front line at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

Qi Tai watched tens of thousands of people crying for Timur, and while praising Chang Sheng's proper handling, he lamented Timur's popularity.

Even if the empire is so scattered and fragmented, there are still so many ordinary people who spontaneously come to cry, which shows that this person has merit in both being a king and a human being.

"I can't imagine that Timur is so popular with the people!"

Chang Sheng pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this, and said unceremoniously.

"Lord Qi doesn't know, if General Ben bombs for a few more days, more people can run out to cry for Timur."

Qi Tai frowned unhappily when he heard this, ignoring Chang Sheng's words to kill talents.

"Dare to ask General Chang Sheng what his plans are for the mausoleum of His Majesty Timur?"

Chang Sheng shook his head when he heard this.

"I don't know!"

"They are different from us here, they don't pay attention to those."

"Why don't you ask them which way they like it, and we'll bury them in which way."

Qi Tai thought about it, and he was right, no matter how he said it, he had to follow the local customs.

However, after discussing with Alimuyad and the others, Qi Tai was speechless for a moment.

"My lord, our majesty can only be buried in Samarkand!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Samarkand is a city built by our Majesty himself, and it has a special meaning there, so I ask your Excellency to bury our Majesty there!"

The words of Ali Muyad and the others not only annoyed Chang Sheng, but even Qi Tai felt that they were a little excessive.

Now that Samarkand is already the Kangdu of the Ming Dynasty, how can an imperial emperor be buried in it?

Qi Tai rejected the offer without even thinking about it.

"No way!"

"Kangdu must not be used as a mausoleum for Timur, if he wants to be buried, he can only ...... elsewhere"
