"Your Highness...... Do you want to lure Ma Heima and let him leave the camp to fight a tough battle with us? The martial arts student was stunned, feeling a little frightened.

"I still thought that His Highness dug this trench to force Ma Heima to give in and ask for help......"

"Ma Heimama is not a coward, and if he doesn't really fight, he can't take the initiative to ask for help." Zhu Su shook his head, and for the first time there was a little worry in his eyes.

"And...... Continue to bluff, it's too late to think. ”

"We've been delayed for a long time...... Continue to delay, I can't afford to delay anymore. ”

As soon as he thought that Zhu Di was now encircled by Timur and Shahru's troops as a lone army, Zhu Su felt very worried. Zhu Di was able to take the position of Milan Sha because of three words, "time difference", and broke through Milan Sha before Shaharu's support.

And now, Ma Heima's reliance is precisely because he holds the initiative of the "time difference", as long as Timur and Shaharu break through Zhu Di's department, even if there are really 100,000 troops as enemies for him, it can be calmly broken.

Time is running out, if you want to get back the initiative, you must let Ma Heima's subordinates feel that they are in danger and will be destroyed at any time.

As Zhu Su expected, since Zhu Su issued a declaration of persuasion to surrender, the camp of Ma Heima's department has fallen into a panicked position.

Now, they no longer doubt the strength of the Ming army. Now, the trenches dug by the Ming army are getting closer and closer, and every day, the more than 10,000 people who are responsible for digging the trenches and how the Persian "engineers" work, have long been seen by them.

Even digging a ditch can send more than 10,000 people, so the main force that is ready to be used for battle, is it not more?

If it weren't for tens of thousands of soldiers, would they dare to dig such a long deep ditch? Dare to surround their camp of 30,000 men?

Will the Lord General personally persuade them to surrender in front of the battle and give them an ultimatum?

"His Royal Highness Ma Heima, make a decision!" A veteran of the Timurid Empire, a well-qualified veteran, leaned over with his hands on the shore of the table, urging Ma Heima.

"This must be the main force of the Ming Dynasty, we have all been deceived by the despicable Ming people!"

"After they received reinforcements from the local army, they attacked His Royal Highness the Prince of Milan with suspicious soldiers, so that Timur Sultan mistakenly thought that they were the main force of the Ming Dynasty, and the real main force target was actually our ......"

"It must be like this...... Akito has always been so despicable. We have lost the opportunity to join the Sultan in their arms because of hesitation, but now we can redeem it...... But if His Royal Highness Ma Heima, if you hesitate again, we will be completely defeated by the Ming people! ”

The other generals also nodded, their eyes flashing with worry. 30,000 against 100,000, the Ming Dynasty's defeat of Yuan Ting and Warat They have heard of it in Central Asia. Even these proud soldiers of the Timurid Empire did not dare to guarantee that they would definitely be able to defeat the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, the Ming King of Zhou on the opposite side has such a strong confidence...... These generals of the Timurid Empire even suspected that the soldiers and horses of these Ming people in front of them were far more than 100,000.

The Ming were infinitely more despicable than the Mongols or Persians of the Golden Horde. It's not unusual to hide your true troop numbers.

Ma Heima was still pondering, but the gloom on his face was thicker than in the previous days, almost dripping black water.

As the trench was dug more and more, and the dug closer and closer, his pressure was increasing day by day, and now Zhu Su, the king of Zhou on the other side, took the initiative to persuade him to surrender...... This has put his pressure on him to the point of being critical.

However, the doubts in his heart still did not disappear, he pondered for a long time, and said: "Perhaps, that King Zhou is really deceiving us?" If they really have 100,000 troops, why don't they just attack my camp in the first place? ”

"And to dig so many deep trenches that are of little use, you know, most of us are infantry, and these trenches are of little use to us. Digging deep trenches is time-consuming and laborious......"

"What's so hard to guess about this!" The veteran with some seniority stood up proudly and relied on his experience to point out Ma Heima. "These deep ditches of the Ming people are not used to guard against us, but to guard against the reinforcements of the Sultan!"

"Most of the Ming are despicable, but they are also very cautious, they have long been prepared for the attack of the Sultan, so they dig ditches as they advance, once the cavalry of the Sultan surrounds them, the trenches behind these Ming people can stop the cavalry for them......"

At this moment, the logic was successfully self-consistent, and the generals in the Ma Hei Ma camp suddenly realized, and looked at this veteran like a god.

It turns out that the ditch is used for this!

Ma Heima was also stunned, he didn't think that the trench was not used against himself, but for guarding against reinforcements. The doubts in my heart went away, but I was still unwilling to take the initiative to ask for help.

"In that case, tonight, we will first test these wise people."

"If I lose, I'll ask my grandfather for help......"

Ma Heima finally relented. If they don't fight, even if the Ming people really have 100,000, their grandfather will definitely blame them for being cowardly afterwards.

But if it is found out that these Ming troops are really the main force, that is to say, my grandfather was deceived by their suspicious soldiers. Then you won't continue to criticize him anymore, right?

……

Because of the trenches, those Ming people did not even set up tents on the front line, and directly built dwellings in the trenches with materials such as planks and furs. It was the first time he had seen such a novel "camp" even Ma Heima, and he couldn't tell where the commanders and main forces of these Ming people were distributed, so he could only take about 3,000 elite infantry and quietly touch it towards a certain section of the trench where there were lights.

In his mind, this section of the trench could only hold a few hundred people at most, and the three thousand people he brought with him were enough to kill all these Ming people no matter what. In fact, in his opinion, even the inexplicable pocket-shaped trench dug by the Ming army was full of loopholes. This is a plain, and the Ming army's troop deployment outside the trench is completely unobstructed, and there is no human figure outside the trench at all, which means that the Ming army is all using such trenches to hide soldiers.

But how many people and horses can be hidden in this kind of long trench that has been pulled?

As long as one section of the trench is attacked, because this is too narrow and thin trench layout, the other sections of the trench will inevitably not be able to support in time. A truly powerful corps should be in groups to help each other and give full play to the strength of the army...... Scattering men and horses in the trenches like this is not self-defeating, and what is it?

It's just that with this kind of unfolding formation, it is meaningless to only take a section, and it is very troublesome to attack in an all-round way, and it is not clear what Zhu Su's intentions are, so Ma Heima did not waste his troops to test it before.

Maybe he is too suspicious, and the king of Zhou of the Ming Dynasty is just a waste who doesn't know how to fight...... Ma Heima's mind had such a thought, thinking that if the main general of the Ming army was really so stupid, it would be good for him to take all these trenches with some effort.

Killing a prince of the Ming Dynasty is enough for his grandfather to establish himself as the heir.

Just as he was wandering outside the world, Ma Heima's whispered reminder from the soldiers on the left and right: "Your Highness Ma Heima, stay away from the ditch dug by these Ming people,"

"It's only five hundred paces."
