In fact, dogs do not need such loud barks, unlike other mounts, Sultan Firuz Shah's white elephant is tall, unique, and decorated with a lot of gold, which is the most striking presence on this battlefield.

On weekdays, such a sleek mount can naturally show off the majesty and wealth of the Sultan and satisfy the Sultan's superior self-esteem. However, on the battle array, such a white elephant is a live target, not to mention, once the Sultan has any accidents, he can't hide it from anyone at all.

In full view of everyone, the appearance of Sultan Firuz falling from the tall white elephant was already seen by all the soldiers nearby, who were first trampled by their own war elephants, then run over by the surviving fire horses, and then attacked by the Ming army, and their morale was already very small.

Now that even the Sultan is dead, what's the point of fighting?

These poisonous soldiers did not have much concept of "loyalty" and "honor", and even most of them were just hired mercenaries, as soon as the Sultan died, they began to surrender one by one without any psychological burden, and in the blink of an eye, they knelt directly on the battlefield.

The situation on Zhu Su's side was the same, seeing that they could not break through the trenches of the Ming army, those cavalry had already had the idea of retreating, and when they heard the news of the death of the Sultan from the front, the cavalry simply dismounted and surrendered en masse. There are already many wars in this place, and the Huns who are poisoned by the Huns have come to surrender the Huns, and the Turks have come to surrender to the Turks, and this set of processes has been perfected.

Zhu Su immediately ordered Di Meng to begin to collect his soldiers, and Pegasus ordered the dogs and Cao Yuan's troops in front to go to collect Derry City. After all, Delhi City is a city, and if the nobles in the city have bad intentions and close the city gates to resist stubbornly, it will really take a lot of effort. However, it turned out that Zhu Su thought too much, and when Cao Yuan took the Sultan's scepter (he wanted to carry the Sultan's head, but unfortunately the white elephant's foot had blurred the poor Sultan's flesh and blood) to collect the city, the nobles and people in the city handed over the city to this general with less than 3,000 troops almost without resistance.

Then Zhu Su led the troops into Delhi, and what he saw was the poisonous nobles kneeling on the side of the road to greet the Ming Dynasty.

The army marched down to the Delhi Sultanate, and the generals and the princes of the country were still in disbelief until they entered the palace in Delhi. In a dignified country, the lord of the country personally went out of the city to succeed, and then died in a battle. The ministers in the country, the civil ministers and the military ministers no one died to the death, so simply and easily subdued these "alien races". While everyone was happy, they couldn't help but feel unreal in their hearts.

"Hearing that the former Tang Dynasty's famous minister Wang Gong Xuan Ce sent a poison, the poison of the lord of the country was rude, the prince was angry and borrowed thousands of troops from Tubo, and he was wiped out in a war...... In the past, when I read history so far, I always felt vain. Now that I have passed this Delhi Sultanate, I know that the prince's martial arts are worthy! A prisoner sighed.

Thinking of Wang Xuance's achievements, his thousands of people destroyed the country in a war, but it is not as fantastical as that. A group of people were excited to experience a major event that went down in history, while those such as Huang Guan and others thought more deeply with solemn and thoughtful faces.

If the Chinese rites collapse and fail to inherit the teachings of the sages, will there be a day like the Delhi Sultanate, which will be insensitive and annihilated?

"Your Highness, we have gathered a total of 30,000 foot soldiers, 7,000 cavalry, and more than 30 war elephants......"

"So many people, do they all have to be co-opted?"

Speaking of the number of people surrendered, Di Meng was secretly frightened in his heart. This proportion is really too high, the enemy army has gathered a total of 50,000 people, and it has dropped by nearly 40,000...... Such a battle is unheard of. And this number is too large, in case these 40,000 people make a riot, their thousands of soldiers may not be able to suppress it.

Zhu Su didn't expect to be able to gather so many surrendered troops, judging from this number, almost after the death of the Sultan, these poisonous three brothers all surrendered......

This made Zhu Su really speechless, not only glad that these people did not resist stubbornly to add casualties to the Ming army, but also really marveled at the strange degree of the three brothers bred in this magical land......

Originally, it was planned to incorporate a part of the cannon fodder troops of the Ming army, but after all, the Ming army did not understand the language, so it was difficult for them to join sincerely...... Even if a cannon fodder army is barely organized, if it really starts a tough battle with the Timurid Empire, I am afraid that these three brothers will immediately surrender on their knees and follow Timur to fight the Ming Dynasty...... Thinking of this, Zhu Su still gave up his plan to incorporate and surrender the army.

"But take away their blades and armor, give them some food, and let them go out of the city to fend for themselves. Those blades that are not used are directly sealed in the treasury. But every horse in the city is counted as one, and all of them must be levied. ”

"After that, there are not too many horses to gallop to Thirsty Rock City. Besides, in order to deal with war elephants, he lost 3,000 horses......"

Di Meng nodded, and he was not distressed by the three thousand war horses that Zhu Su said. This poisonous land has always been inhabited by various ethnic groups, including Turkic, Mongolian and other herdsmen, and those war horses that surrendered to the army alone are enough to make up for the gap of 3,000 war horses, and it is more than enough.

"But if we go to the aid of Thirsty Stone, how many men should be left here to guard this city?" Di Meng asked. According to the original plan, after defeating the sultan of this country, he defended the city, while guarding the other princes of the country who came to Qinwang, and on the other hand, recruited the surrender army, and then the main force went to support Thirsty Stone, leaving a partial division to defend the city as a foothold with the surrendering army...... Now that the army is unusable, their number is not large, it is absolutely impossible to divide a large number of troops to defend the city, do you want to abandon the city directly?

Zhu Su also thought of this problem, although he was confident in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, but if he divided the troops, it would be too dangerous. And as far as his selfishness is concerned, he actually wants to get a piece of the pie in this poisonous land, after all, although this poisonous land is corrupt and the people are wonderful, but if you only talk about the land, it is really rich.

As long as the Nanyang Sea Route is opened, this poisonous place is not an enclave for Daming. When it comes to the duck in its mouth, how can there be any reason to let it fly away?

"In this way, let Huang Guan lead the prisoners to go to release the grain, and when the grain is released, by the way, recruit some people who are willing to serve my Ming Dynasty as the ...... of the new army," Zhu Su said. He has already demonstrated the use of physics to pretend to be a god and a ghost to gain the worship of the poisonous people, and Huang Guan's prisoners who have studied physics will definitely be able to bluff the civilians of this Delhi city.

Most of the surrendered troops are soldiers, but among the civilians, they may be able to recruit barely enough to be useful. As long as a few thousand people can be announced, and then the mercenaries who only know the money can be singled out, it will be barely enough to hold the city.

Defending the city does not rely only on military strength, and if you want to completely take root in this poisonous land, you need something more fundamental...... Zhu Su was thinking to himself, and outside, a Ming army general walked briskly dressed in a draped garment.

"Your Highness, several armies have appeared outside the city, do we want to go out of the city to meet them?" The general clenched his fists and reported.
