It was not until this day that Timur's doubts finally reached their peak: he saw that the Ming army had begun to dig the same trenches along the four sides of the city...... And the direction of the moat is in the direction of the city wall.

If you want to dig a trench, you should dig it in the outermost direction. How can a besieger dig a fortification like a trench between the city wall and its own soldiers and horses?

Could it be that when you attack the city, you have to wade through your own fortifications first?

It's like guarding the soldiers on the city wall?

All of a sudden, the generals of Emperor Timur in the city couldn't tell who was the attacker and who was the defender.

Timur's sense of unease grew in his heart, and if Samarkand was a small city with few supplies, then it was reasonable for the Ming army to act in this way: the trenches were dug to prevent the city from breaking through, trapping them in the city and dying in the city; But this trick is not good for Samarkand. Samarkand is a big city on the Silk Road, with abundant supplies, and the food hoarded in the city is enough for the defenders to eat for several years, can the Ming army still be able to fight in this foreign land for several years?

But they dig trenches...... But what do you want?

What are the Ming army waiting for?

Timur hesitated, but kept urging the craftsmen in the city to make firecrackers. He is a veteran general, and he knows that no matter what, the combat strength of the generals is the truth, and now that the situation is unclear, he can only find ways to increase his own combat power to cope with future changes.

After a few more days, the content of the preaching outside the city finally changed, and the defenders of the city received the shooting book shot by the Ming army into the city, and immediately presented it to Timur.

"Ulugh Beg concealed the Sultan's death and sent people of similar appearance to pretend to be the Sultan in an attempt to seize the Sultan's throne?" It was Ulugh Beg himself who read the book on behalf of Timur, and he looked at the contents of the book and felt nothing but ridicule. "Grandfather, Ma Hema and Khalil are crazy! He uttered these ridiculous words."

"Even the noise of the crow and the vulture is better than the words of the two of them! The contents of this shooting book are simply a joke......

The reason why it comes to Ma Heima and Khalil, the content of Gain's shooting letter is written by Ma Heima and Khalil, which is to call on the generals in the city to kill the most vicious fake sultan, as well as the traitor Ulugh Beg, to support the real sultan and welcome the Ming heavenly soldiers into the city......

With the laughter of Ulugh Beg, the other generals of the Timurid Empire also burst into laughter: the Sultan is a fake? What stupid things to say. The despicable Ming people have no decent schemes, and want to deceive them with such a childlike deception?

Only Timur, sitting on a throne made of gold, pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "The Ming army has been besieging the city for half a month...... Outside the city, can you see any traces of reinforcements coming to help?"

Ulugh Beg was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Sultan, no. I didn't see any people coming to help......

Timur's brows furrowed, and his face was already very ugly. "There are many of our vassals around Samarkand, and it stands to reason that the news of the siege of Ben Sultan should have spread long ago, so why didn't any of the vassals come to the aid of the national capital? ......***, have any of your centaurs managed to bring back the message, and what is the situation outside?" He asked Peel ***, another grandson in charge of the sentry.

Pier *** didn't know why his grandfather suddenly lost his temper, so he had to stand out and kneel in front of Timur with a helpless face: "Dear grandfather, my great sultan, our horses have not brought back news from outside the city."

"The Ming army is too wary of the sentinels in the city. And now that they have dug trenches, it is much more difficult for our people to go out of the city to find out the news. This matter has been brought to you before......

He said cautiously. A few days ago, he had obviously reported that it was difficult for Tanma to go out of the city to listen to the matter, and at that time, his grandfather obviously persuaded him that it was okay, saying that it was not easy for the Ming army to besiege the city and want to go out of the city to investigate......

Why is it that now, all of a sudden, this matter is being harshly criticized in public?

Timur's face became even more ugly, and he realized that he seemed to be being calculated by the Ming army again...... In the eyes of these people in the city, the Ming army

It's ridiculous to say you're dead, but what about people elsewhere? .

His command can spread throughout Samarkand, so that the people of Samarkand know that their Sultan is not dead...... But what about people elsewhere? Now his orders are trapped in the walls of Samarkand, and he can't get out or show himself anywhere else...... At this time, those people got the news of their death, would they still choose to fight to the death with the Ming army for the sake of a dead sultan?

Not to mention, there are also Ma Heima and Khalil's two unfilial grandsons, who are helping the Ming army spread the news of their deaths! This is undoubtedly proof that he is really dead!

Even after the defeat of the Ming Dynasty at that time, Timur's inner situation was not much panic: he had experienced too many ups and downs, and had already developed an extremely tenacious heart and strong self-confidence. He firmly believes that it is just a temporary disadvantage for himself, as long as he buys time, he will finally be able to make a comeback to defeat Daming and completely wash away the shame on himself.

Now, however, he felt a rare panic: for the first time as the Sultan of the Timurid Empire, he felt extremely clearly that the authority he controlled was eroding at a rapid rate.

If everyone else but Samarkand is convinced that he is dead, his orders will not be able to get out of this lonely city......

What kind of sultan are you?

"Breakout." Timur suddenly squeezed the armrest of the throne, and on the armrest made of pure gold, he pinched out five fingerprints. He glared at Pierre *** and ordered him in an unquestioning voice: "The men with you, within tonight, must break out of the encirclement of the Ming army."

"Tell the Sultan's commands everywhere in the empire...... Let them come to King Qin of Samarkand......

"But, but grandfather ......" *** was shocked, and couldn't help but say, "But the defense of the Ming army is really ......."

"I'm afraid I can't ......."

"If you can't do it." Timur's voice suddenly turned cold. "Then you'll die outside the city."

He has many children and grandchildren, and he is still in the prime of life, so he will not pity a single grandchild at all.

Hearing this, Peel*** trembled suddenly, knowing that it was useless to say anything, so he had to grit his teeth, and then led people out of the palace.

Timur's eyes were like ice, and he stared coldly at the direction in which this grandson left: if the Ming army fought this plan, then as long as the encirclement was broken through and people were spread everywhere with their own edicts, the Ming army's clumsy lies would naturally be self-defeating.

The Han people have a saying that there are only a thousand days to catch a thief, and there is no a thousand days to prevent a thief. No matter how tightly defended the Ming army is, it is absolutely impossible to be leaky. After putting an end to the reinforcements that came to King Qin, the Ming army must also find a way to break through Samarkand.

Moreover, judging from the fact that they tried their best to use this strategy, the Ming army's grasp of their ability to break the city is not small......

In the end, what is the best way for those two Ming princes to break the city? Timur's eyebrows furrowed together.
