Chapter 283 Under the orders of the Ming Emperor, he went on a mission to the Southeast Asian countries

The casualties caused by this bombing were more than thirty people, which was much more severe than the first three rounds of bombardment by the Yiliming Army.

"Sir, we can't fight anymore. The Ming army must have used pagan magic. Our artillery has been affected. If we continue to fight, we will definitely suffer counterattacks!" an artillery general begged bitterly.

Any witchcraft is just an excuse for him.

The distance is too far and it is impossible to avoid the explosion.

"No, let me fire again. Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be beheaded immediately!" Timur showed no mercy at all.

"Sir, but..." the general wanted to persuade.

Snapped!

There was a sound of whip and it hit the general in the face.

Immediately there was a horrible bright red scar.

"Shut up! You despicable Turks, how dare you disobey me? If I don't attack Yili City this time, I'll kill you Turks!" Timur had lost his mind.

When the artillery general of Turkic origin saw this, he did not dare to persuade him any more and could only obey his orders.

The artillery at West Chagatai finally misfired.

Several Western Chagatai generals rushed outside Timur's camp and shouted loudly.

The Ming troops in Yili City taunted the enemies outside the city.

Speaking of this, Zhang Dingbian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mr. Zhou means... to use those fifty soldiers disguised as businessmen as internal agents!"

"Okay, then I will give you some more fire oil bottles, which can be used to set more fires!" Xu Da nodded and said.

"It's unbelievable. There is no ship half the size of this merchant ship in the entire Southeast Asia!"

In the dark night, cannon shots rang out from the top of Ely City.

Xu Da was very happy, "Haha, well, it's so cheap. If you come here a few more times, the Western thieves won't be able to withstand it, no matter how many there are."

Zhang Dingbian was a little confused: "What do you mean by this, sir? Of course, all of these five hundred people must be brought ashore. Otherwise, how can we demonstrate my Ming Dynasty's might and make the Lord of Maradi State fear us?"

The so-called bullfighting uniform is a scarlet robe with a python head and an ox horn embroidered with gold thread on the starry beast. Such robes were originally not allowed to be worn by non-official first-class civil servants, but Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he was on a mission to foreign countries in Southeast Asia on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.

This was the special gift given to me.

"Fire the cannon and blast as far away as you can!" Xu Da said immediately.

Suddenly, the Ming troops in Yili City burst into louder laughter.

"Sir, the general is willing to lead three hundred elite troops out of the city to counterattack the enemy camp and create a lot of chaos." Qi Xiang took the initiative to invite the battle.

Then, a bunch of heads were piled in front of Xu Da.

"I obey my orders!" Qi Xiang said, clasping his fists.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Buxin smiled slightly again: "Of these one hundred people, fifty people will pretend to be merchants on board the ship. After they land with us, they will stay in Maradi State. We will only take the other fifty soldiers to meet the horsemen."

The King of Ladibon!"

"When these three things are done, the bait for catching big fish will be completely gone!"

Erie City's gunpowder reserves are now very limited and must be conserved.

Obviously, the elite Ming army led by Qi Xiang has reached the vicinity of the western Chagatai camp.

"Is three hundred people enough?" Xu Da was still a little uneasy.

Suddenly, there were screams outside the city of Yili, and black smoke was rising everywhere.

In the dark night, Xicchagatai did not know how many people the Yiliming Army had sent for a sneak attack.

I saw five large ships, two in front and three behind, slowly sailing into the port.

The port was already bustling with people. Countless dark-skinned natives, rich and poor, crowded together to watch the fun, with expressions of wonder on their faces.

He did not dare to leave the camp to catch up, and being bombarded by artillery, Timur was also afraid of the army bombing the camp.

Timur's artillerymen all understood.

Timur has also calmed down.

"The enemy is making a sneak attack!"

After all relevant personnel were fully prepared, Zhang Dingbian roared angrily: "Show guard of honor and get off the ship!"

Terrifying barrel explosions occurred one after another, and the gunners were unwilling to continue firing.

"Sir, the enemy has a sneak attack!"

Seeing that the enemies outside the city were preparing to besiege the city for a long time, the Ming army soldiers asked Xu Da to fight.

Behind them were fifty well-armed elite soldiers, followed by fifty businessmen dressed in gorgeous silks, and finally followed by followers carrying various flags and flags.

One by one, the artillery shells hit the vicinity of the West Chagatai Camp, causing the originally panicked army to become even more chaotic.

"Yes, sir, our military strength is ten times that of the Ming army, so we are not in such a hurry."

Timur said.

Maradi Port.

What's happening here?

He remembered that more than ten years ago, the Mongols were still in power in the Celestial Kingdom. The Mongol Khan at that time also sent his officials here to promote the authority of the Mongol Empire.

"As expected of the Kingdom of Heaven, a few merchant ships are actually built to be more powerful than our warships. It's really amazing!"

"Hey, what's the use of a bigger ship? Their merchant ship last month wasn't..."

After Qi Xiang and others returned to the top of the city, the defenders cheered.

At the head were two officials from the Ming Dynasty, one civil and one military. They were holding banners and holding umbrellas at the same time.

In the midst of this discussion, five large ships slowly stopped at the port.

"Sir, even if we don't use artillery to bombard the city, we can still succeed if we capture more nearby Uighurs and let them fill the trenches to consume the strength of the rebel army, and then attack the city again!"

The range of the Ming army's artillery was far beyond the imagination of Western Chagatai.

Zhang Dingbian was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't help but slap his thigh: "Okay, let's do it according to Mr. Zhou's method!"

One, two.

"Give me the order to retreat two hundred steps and set up camp!" Timur said helplessly.

West Chagatai formed an array in the distance. Although the Ming army's artillery was not accurate, it could still hit the array in the front row.

The so-called fierce fire oil is basically a kind of black oil produced in Western Xinjiang, mixed with some viscous substances such as sulfur, and is most suitable for fire attacks.

Each head exuded the stench of blood.

Several generals hurriedly restrained the troops and prepared to break camp overnight.

Ma Zilu immediately ran to prepare.

The two of them had decided on a plan and immediately sent the order. They saw that 400 of the 500 soldiers immediately dispersed and hid in every corner of the big ship. Fortunately, the ship was big enough, and it was enough for these 400 soldiers.

People hide themselves tightly.

Although the results of this kind of night attack may not seem great, it can greatly damage the morale of the enemy.

Zhou Buxin smiled calmly: "I will come to the country tomorrow, and I am unparalleled in the world. It will not be surprising to see what kind of ship I can build!"

So, under the watchful eyes of all the residents of Maradi Port, a huge team of well-dressed people disembarked from the ship.

If you load too much gunpowder, you will blow up your body without leaving a whole body.

"Hiss! Shut up, stop causing trouble for yourself!"

In the dark night, Qi Xiang led three hundred elite men to sneak out of the city quietly.

After the Ming army's artillery stopped, the enemy's artillery outside the city began to attack.

If he had known that there were so few enemies, Timur would have sent cavalry to chase them.

As fires lit up everywhere, Qi Xiang and others, who had succeeded in the sneak attack, hurriedly returned to Yili City.

"Sir, we can't take such risks anymore, our morale is at risk," a general from Western Chagatai advised.

"Sir, the general has killed some enemy cavalry!" Qi Xiang said.

West Chagatai lit up continuous torches on the camp, and the entire camp was bright, and tens of thousands of troops began to retreat overnight.

At such a long distance, there is less gunpowder to load, and if you can't hit the city wall, you will be beheaded.

Although he didn't care about the life or death of the Turkic soldiers, too many bombs would affect morale.

"As you command, my lord!"

There are dozens of places.

Even if it is a military method, it is nothing more than decapitation. Once the body is exploded, there will be no intact body.

"With just three hundred people, wouldn't it be too risky?" Xu Da was shocked.
