The moment when the blue jade appeared.

Timur knew that he was on another battlefield.

His army of 500,000 was also defeated!

A coalition army of 2 million can't defeat an army of 30,000 in Daming! What is it that makes Daming so strong?!

Zhu Yunxi!

That's right! It's just three simple words!

It was he who changed the Ming Dynasty!

Let Daming completely go to a different road! It also made the army of the Ming Dynasty have such a strong combat effectiveness!

Those powerful guns! And the landslide-like artillery!

And the black weapons that are terrifying to the extreme! The spitting tongue of fire took the lives of at least tens of thousands of people in the Timurid Empire!

It's a grim reaper!

And at the same time.

It's also Lan Yu, and it's also Zhu Di!

And all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!

Showing an unprecedented fighting spirit!

It was all these things that contributed to the defeat of his Timur!

"It's ridiculous, I, Timur, have been invincible all my life!"

"It was defeated in the hands of the 30,000 troops of Daming District! I, Timur, are not convinced! ”

Timur only felt that it was dark in front of his eyes.

Instantly fainted to the ground.

Unconscious.

The guards beside him hurriedly put Timur on the horse and escorted him away.

But with the departure of Timur.

As if sucking away the last vestige of Timur's army.

After all, the reason why Timur's army was able to bear so many casualties was because their commander was Timur!

This invincible khan who crisscrosses Central Asia and gallops through the steppes!

But now...... Timur actually fell! And the army of Timur, which they had always thought was invincible, also failed!

Almost instantly.

The whole army of Timur became crushed.

Spread out.

Utter rout!

In the rear, the remaining coalition forces, seeing that Timur had lost the battle, naturally immediately dispersed.

Or even directly turn the spearhead.

Then he turned and went to plunder the people of the Timurid Empire.

Anyway, Timur was already defeated!

……

The camp of the Ming army.

At the same time, it was not far from Samarkand, the capital of the Timurid Empire!

Night!

Lan Yu and Zhu Di were together.

"Report!"

"His Royal Highness King Yan, General Lan Yu, in this battle, my Ming army, a total of 3,271 casualties!"

"Among them, 1,856 were killed and seriously wounded!"

"The rest are minor injuries!"

Hear this.

Lan Yu and Zhu Di both had solemn faces.

This battle, although won.

But in the face of Timur's army, and it is a real elite of a hundred battles, it is completely a fool's dream to want to have no losses.

And in this day and age.

And in a foreign country, serious injury is basically equivalent to death.

I just don't know how many will survive in the end.

More than 1,000 people may have to be completely buried in their homeland! Stay in this far-flung country forever!

"Alright."

"Serving your family and country and dying on the battlefield is not a bad thing!"

"This is the glory of our soldiers!"

"It's also a vocation!"

"As long as they win, then their sacrifice is worthwhile!"

"In this battle, General Lan Yu and I have defeated the combined forces of the enemy's two million coalition forces! It also made Timur's million-strong army lose everything! ”

"Next, we have to find a way to capture Samarkand in one fell swoop!"

"Capture Timur!"

Zhu Di comforted everyone.

It also shifted everyone's attention to the majestic city in front of them.

Samarkand.

The capital of the Timurid Empire, it was also a prosperous city, through which the Chinese Silk Road passed through in ancient times.

Here, it is the distribution center of goods from East Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, and even Europe!

And the Timurid Empire, it is precisely by relying on these that it has the capital to conquer the world!

This place is also extremely important to the Ming Dynasty, because only by taking this place can Timur completely give up his ambitions!

At the same time, it can also completely open up the entire Asian market for Daming!

Whether it's the Golden Horde in the north or the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the east! Or the Delhi Sultanate in the southeast, or the Black Sheep dynasty in the west!

Of course, the most important thing is the Timurid Empire!

As long as you open the market here, it is equivalent to having the market in Eastern Europe and North Africa!

The significance to Daming is extraordinary!

Now, there is only one last step away from all this! That's to take the city in front of you!

Samarkand!

"Guys, what do you think?"

Zhu Di was the first to ask.

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "What else can you think?" ”

"Wouldn't it be okay to just bombard him with a cannon? Haven't we always done that? ”

"None of these walls can withstand the bombardment."

"It's going to collapse in three or two! When the time comes, if we attack it in one fell swoop, won't this city be broken? ”

But Zhu Di shook his head.

said: "This is not good, before coming, His Royal Highness personally explained to me." ”

"It's okay to smash it when it hits a city wall, but if it touches a place where trade is booming, it can't be so rude."

"We have to find a way to preserve the local market as much as possible."

"When the time comes, it will also be good for Daming."

"So this attack on Samarkand has to be outwitted, not forced!"

The expressions of everyone present froze.

It turned out to be an order from His Royal Highness Taisun!

That must be obeyed!

Moreover, His Royal Highness Taisun is for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, if the economy of the Timurid Empire is a mess at that time, how can the Ming Dynasty do business?

How else can Daming exchange for the goods he wants.

And dumping their own goods?

So it's important to make sure this place is still thriving! Don't miss the pool!

And at this time.

Outside the door, someone suddenly came to report the news.

said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, General Lan Yu, there are people from the Timurid Empire outside, who came to say that there is something important to discuss. ”

Zhu Di's eyes rolled suddenly.

I suddenly had an idea.

Said: "Bring him in!" ”

Lan Yu was a little puzzled.

said: "Sending someone at this time, it must be to negotiate peace with us, King Yan wants to see him, is he planning to negotiate with Timur?" ”

But Yan Wang Zhu Di shook his head.

said: "Naturally not. ”

"But this man has to see it!"

Soon.

The people sent by Timur appeared in front of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

The other party first performed a Central Plains etiquette.

Obviously, the other party is not ignorant of Da Ming.

Maybe even been to Daming before.

I saw the other party say, "His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"This time the Khan asked me to come to discuss the withdrawal of the army with the Ming army."

"Samarkand, with its high walls and thick walls, is not easy to break."

"And Timurid Khan is also willing to admit the power of the Great Ming, bow down to the Ming Dynasty, and please return to the Ming Dynasty."

"If there are any conditions, I, the Timurid Empire, will agree to everything."

"But if the fight continues, this Samarkand city will not be so easy to attack, which will only inspire hatred between the two sides."

"Let the war never end."

The envoys sent by Timur tried to impress Zhu Di.

But Zhu Di just smiled and glanced at him.

said with disdain: "Timur is ambitious and wants to be my enemy!" ”

"Not only have they interfered many times in the relations between the Delhi Sultanate and my Ming Dynasty!"

"Instigate the treachery of the Delhi Sultanate to arrest my Ming merchants!"

"Your Timurid Empire is even more pretending to offend my Ming frontier, do you think my Ming doesn't know?!"

"Now you want to negotiate for me to withdraw from the army?"

"It's late!"

"Go back and tell him Timur, wash your neck, and wait!"

"Sooner or later, the Ming army will break through Samarkand!"

"This king wants to see how many rounds of shelling can the walls of Samarkand withstand?"

When Zhu Di mentioned the cannon of the Ming Dynasty.

The messenger sent by Timur visibly trembled.

Obviously, Daming's artillery caused a great shock to the other party.

It is still not calm.

Zhu Di saw this.

continued: "He Timur doesn't think about it, but you still have to discuss. ”

"The person who wants to invade my Ming frontier is him Timur."

"You are just forced by their power."

"If you turn against yourself at this time and surrender with courtesy, I have always valued peace, but it may not be impossible for you to live."

"When you go back, think about it."

"It's to accompany Timur to the funeral! Or choose a way to live! ”

Opposite side.

Timur's envoys were shocked.

Zhu Di wants them to betray Timur?!

Rebellion?!

"This ......," Timur's envoy immediately wanted to say, this is absolutely impossible!

But the words came to the lips.

But I couldn't say anything.

He knows it well.

The artillery power of the Ming Dynasty is simply unbearable in Samarkand!

So when the time comes.

Samarkand was breached is an established fact!

And these Timur subordinates, when the time comes, there will be only a dead end! But if it's a rebellion at this time...... Surrender to the Ming army, maybe there is still a glimmer of life!

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Yan."

"I'll go back and think about it."

Timur's envoys did not refuse.

As he said, he needs to go back and think about it! After all, it was not so easy to rebel under the watchful eye of Timur!

But the thought has already begun to appear!

It's only a matter of time before it's back!

After Timur's envoy left, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Wait." ”

"It won't be long."

"This Samarkand city is ours!"

"And he, Timur, will also go to his own end!"

……

Samarkand.

Timur's palace.

After Timur, who was so angry that he vomited blood, came back, he had a high fever that did not go away.

The whole person was extremely weak.

This defeat is too big a blow to him! Thinking that he Timur was invincible in Central Asia, but in the face of the Ming Dynasty, it was like a minor child!

There is no way to fight back!

How can this not make him uncomfortable?

After all, the more powerful Da Ming is, the more it means that his wish to revive the Grassland Empire and restore the glory of the Grassland Empire cannot be realized!

Daming is a mountain that he will never be able to cross!

"How is the Ming army outside the city?"

Timur asked weakly.

Below.

A group of Timur's henchmen replied: "There has been no movement of the Ming army in recent days. ”

"And the last reinforcements from our tribes are on their way."

"In the city of Samarkand, there are also nearly 100,000 troops, but ...... Most of them are routs, and their combat power is not high. ”

Lakh! It looks like a lot in normal times, but in front of the Ming army, it's really not enough!

"If the Ming army is attacking the city......"

"I'm afraid it's hard to resist!"

Hear the words.

Timur's heart was even tighter.

Feeling out of breath.

"And what about the coalition forces of other countries?!" ”

"Don't they still have an army of a million?! Where did they go?! ”

Timur asked eagerly.

But the subordinate's answer made his heart suddenly cold.

"They...... Now it is looting within our borders. ”

"At the same time, troops are being sent to invade our territory!"

"They...... It's not trustworthy anymore! Not our allies anymore! ”

Timur's eyes were dark again.

I almost fainted.

Look up at the ceiling.

He couldn't stop sighing, "Why...... My life of Timur! Is that all?! ”

"My long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled yet!"

"The empire I built with my own hands has not yet been passed on!"

"Is it about to perish?!"

Timur did not want to believe it.

From heaven to hell, it's just a thought away! If he doesn't anger Da Ming, then he is still the hero of the Megatron side!

It is the hegemon of Central Asia!

More than a million troops in your hands!

The power is so great that it has swept the whole of Asia except for the Ming Dynasty!

But now......

But it was all gone!

"No, I can't give up yet!"

"My wish to revive the Steppe Empire has not yet been fulfilled!"

"Help me up!"

"Ben Khan will personally go to the city to supervise the battle!"

Timur fought hard and wanted to get up.

But just when he was lifted up.

The door of the palace was kicked open with a 'bang'!

A figure that made Timur disbelieve walked in!

"Yes...... It's you?! Zhu Di?! ”

"How could you possibly be here?!"

Timur looked at Zhu Di's figure incredulously, as well as the Ming army behind him!

The appearance of Zhu Di.

He was taken by surprise!

Forthwith.

Timur looked angrily at the people around him.

He said angrily: "Among you! Someone betrayed me! ”

"Have you forgotten?!"

"I am your sovereign! It's your Khan! ”

"How dare you treat me like that!"

"Have you betrayed your faith?! Forget who you are! It was mixed with the Ming army! ”

But.

Around Timur.

But no one responded.

Because around Timur there were all traitors!

Each one is!

They saved their lives, and Zhu Di accepted the city bloodlessly!

The pearl of the Silk Road!

Samarkand!

"You ...... You ......"

Timur was completely devastated and devastated in his anger.

Waving his weak fists, he thrashed these traitors.

Zhu Di and others were just three steps away.

Watch as this mighty overlord of Central Asia, from a noble family of Turkic people, to the murder of his closest brother, to inherit the throne of the Chagatai Khanate.

Then to the north to conquer the Chin Khanate and the Golden Horde!

Expedition to the Ottoman Empire!

Southern Expedition to the Mamluk Dynasty of Egypt!

Expedition to the Delhi Sultanate!

Built yet another formidable steppe empire!

So far, he has been completely defeated by Daming!

Betrayed by the people around you!

Although Timur's life ended in failure, his achievements were incomparably brilliant!

So Zhu Di didn't stop it!

There is no humiliation either!

Instead, he watched quietly, watching Timur die in despair, exhausted, and on his own bed in his own capital!

This lord of Central Asia!

The overlord of the same era as Lao Zhu!

finally lost in the hands of Daming!

Since then.

There will be no more Timurid Empire!
