The man of the Timurid Empire was so stiff that he was thrown to the ground and struggled to stand up again. The dog hurried forward and kicked him in the crook of his leg to force him to kneel, and two more guards stepped forward and pinned him down.

Zhu Su only glanced at him and didn't do anything to deal with it. Because in front, a Mongolian general with a big banner of swallow characters has galloped to the front. Seeing Zhu Su from a distance, this person took the initiative to dismount and stepped forward, glanced at the banner of the sun and moon hanging in the sky behind Zhu Su, and the big flag of Zhou embroidered with dragon patterns, and knelt down and said: "But His Royal Highness the King of Zhou of the Ming Dynasty is in front of him." ”

"Villain Mahamu, meet His Royal Highness King Zhou."

"Mahamu?" Zhu Su frowned, and looked at this Mongolian man with a somewhat sharp voice with some surprise. "Your name is Mahamu?"

"But Ross, Mahamu?"

“…… Yes, the villain is indeed a Syros, Mahamu. Mahamu was also stunned, is his name so loud? Even His Royal Highness the King of Zhou of the Ming Dynasty had heard of his name. But after thinking about it, I was relieved, it should be that this King of Zhou had mentioned himself when he corresponded with His Royal Highness King Yan.

"His Royal Highness King Mengyan Ende, with the villain leading a cavalry army, lured the Timurid imperial army. But I don't want the Timurid Empire to have an ambush here......"

"If it weren't for His Highness's rescue, I'm afraid the villain would have been defeated and died."

This Mahamu's Chinese dialect is good, although there is still a slight tone, but it can also use a few idioms, obviously a lot of effort. Zhu Su was a little strange why Zhu Di would tolerate this Mahamu's life, but that was only a minutiae, and now it is more important to grasp the current situation of Zhu Di and Timur's armies.

Seeing that the general situation on the battlefield had been decided, but there was no need to focus on command anymore with the rest of the sweeping work, Zhu Su called Na Mahamu to Yutu and asked him about the battle situation during this time.

It was learned from Mahamu's mouth that after Zhu Di was dominated by the Timurid Empire's anti-guest, he was not just helpless to be tied down, even if the Timurid Empire was in the right place and the right place and all three, Zhu Di was still trying to turn the tide of the war.

Their first attempt was to break through the Timurid Empire's blockade of Thirsty Rock. Zhu Di gathered all the firearms, tiger squat cannons, and grenades of the Shenji Battalion, and adopted the strategy of attacking the east and the west, deliberately planting suspicious soldiers in the east to create momentum, and suddenly attacked the west where the defense was weak.

With the blessing of firearms, as soon as the Timurid Empire engaged in battle, it was suddenly disrupted. Fei Ju in Thirsty Rock City also saw the opportunity, and brazenly opened the city gate and went out of the city to fight, intending to respond.

However, the army of the Timurid Empire had seen the firearms of the Ming army outside the city of Yili. Timur was clearly wary of these unknown weapons, and initially left a strong reserve army ready to respond to a surprise attack by a firearms unit. Moreover, the army of the Timurid Empire was different from other armies, its fighting spirit was strong, its morale was high, and even if it encountered firearms, it did not panic and collapse.

In fact, firearms at this stage are most suitable for ambushes or defenses in positional warfare, and are not suitable for frontal attacks. In the past, the reason why the Shenji Battalion was able to attack the camp with firearms was that the enemy was often unprepared, and second, the Yuan Court and the Warat soldiers were not really strong troops, and they were often afraid in the face of firearms and grenades, and they were in chaos. However, the Timurid Empire was rising day by day, and the soldiers' fighting spirit was far from being comparable to that of the Northern Yuan Warat, and after withstanding the indiscriminate bombardment at the beginning, they actually stabilized their positions with the support of reserve reinforcements.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Zhu Di hurriedly signaled to Fei Ju on the inside with a flag, asking him to quickly withdraw to the city, and at the same time gritted his teeth and let the Ming army outside step up the offensive. In the end, except for Zhang Dingbian, who came to help, with more than ten people to enter the city, Zhu Di failed to break through the front of the Timurid Empire.

Timur was victorious for a while, and then he became more vigilant, and surrounded the perimeter of the thirsty stone city like an iron bucket.

Zhu Di learned from the pain and knew that a frontal assault was no longer possible, so he broke it into pieces and simply began to constantly attack the siege line of the Timurid Empire. Although the Timurid Empire was strong and difficult to take lightly, because of this, there were always some soldiers who were above the top. couldn't bear Zhu Di's attack and torture, and it was inevitable that some people couldn't help but rush out when they saw that Zhu Di was a small person.

Since the person was successfully fished out, the next thing was naturally to ambush the soldiers. Relying on this method, Zhu Di's subordinates also killed many generals of the Timurid army.

However, there were many times, and the Timurid army naturally took precautions. No, the more than 1,000 suspicious soldiers led by Mahamu fell into the ambush trap of a certain Timurid army general and fell into a bitter battle.

At the mention of this, Zhu Su remembered the Timurid army general who was still kneeling. The general should be a general of a certain defense line of the Timurid Empire, his beard is white, and although he is pressed to the ground, there is still a fighting spirit in his eyes. Judging from the fact that he was able to set up an ambush against Zhu Di's suspicious army, this person is a good general who is old and hot-blooded.

"Go and ask him if he is willing to surrender to Daming." Zhu Su said to the interpreter beside him.

I didn't want this person to know Chinese, he suddenly struggled twice, but he couldn't struggle, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "Despicable Ming, you want me to surrender to your Ming?" ”

"No way! You will not be a rival to the Sultan, and the glory of the Sultan of Timur will shine on all the land where the grass can grow......"

At the mention of Timur, the man's face was so excited and pious that even his complexion, which had previously turned pale from excessive blood loss, turned red again. Zhu Su watched coldly on the horse for a long time, and when he finished singing and praising Timur, he turned his head to look at the dog and said, "Since this person is stubborn, then kill him." ”

"Yes." Without saying a word, the dog stepped forward and stabbed the man into the throat.

At this time, Zhu Su's side, in fact, there were many captured prisoners of the Timurid army, and seeing that this general was killed with a knife like this, everyone in this group of captives showed a look of horror. Some people's eyes even showed regret and hatred.

"Since they don't want to surrender, they will all be killed." Zhu Su waved his hand.

His own guards stepped forward and killed them all. Zhu Su's original military order was not to leave prisoners, but generals obviously could not be equated with ordinary soldiers. Since these people can be captured, they are naturally all generals of some status in Timur's army. At this time, seeing that the king of the Ming Dynasty was about to kill them all without asking, a group of people immediately begged for mercy or scolded.

The scene was bloody, and Zhu Su turned his head a little unwell, but he didn't ask the guards to stop...... His heart was more worried, not to mention the general in Timur's army, even among these middle- and lower-level generals, there were far more scolding voices than begging for mercy.

Timur won the hearts of the army, and so many generals were willing to die for him...... It seems that the level of threat to Timur needs to be raised by another step.
