Ayubuz's mind went blank for a moment. He did not expect that he would encounter such a large-scale ambush.
The general beside him shouted: "Emir, what should we do now? What should we do?"
Ayubuz's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He thought calmly, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Give me the order, everyone should stop attacking, form formations on the spot, and wait for my order!"
Ayoubuz is indeed a well-known warrior on the Persian plateau. He quickly judged his situation clearly. He was obviously trapped in an enemy ambush and must be calmer and braver.
Therefore, Ayubuz chose to form a formation to fight against the Ming army and strive to find a chance to escape.
Ayubuz's decision was wise. Their formation was relatively neat. After they formed the formation, their pressure was reduced a lot. However, Ayubuz discovered that the Ming army's muskets were more powerful. Every round of shooting
They would kill or injure many Persian cavalry.
At this time, Tang He finally revealed his true appearance. He stood on a high mountain peak, staring down at Ayubuz, then raised his right arm and waved it with all his strength.
As Tang He waved his arms and issued orders, all Ming army ambushes from all directions were dispatched.
"put!"
"Peng Peng Peng!"
Rows of muskets spit out tongues of fire, and lead pellets were fired rapidly at the Persian cavalry.
puff!
Peng!
One after another, the Persian cavalry fell off their horses and turned into corpses.
The Persian cavalry also paid an extremely heavy price under the powerful artillery fire of the Ming army.
Ayubuz looked nervously at the approaching Ming army, and suddenly shouted: "Shoot!"
The Persian soldiers threw away their javelins one after another, or missed their arrows.
The Ming army was not afraid. They raised their muskets and shot at the javelins thrown by the Persian cavalry.
Both sides went back and forth, causing casualties on each other.
Ayubuz couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw how sharp the Ming army's weapons were. This kind of musket was like something out of a fairy tale.
Ayubuz suddenly realized the danger and hurriedly reminded his men loudly: "Ignore the casualties and charge forward!"
When the Persian cavalry heard Ayyubuz's message, they took out their weapons and were ready to charge again.
But as soon as they were ready, the Ming army's muskets were fired.
"boom!"
Accompanied by bursts of gunfire and rows of firelight, the Persian cavalry fell to the ground one after another.
The Ming cavalry's muskets were so powerful and the enemies were so dense that there was no need to aim. As long as the trigger was pulled, the target would be hit. The Persian cavalry was unable to resist at all.
When Ayubuz saw his soldiers lying in a pool of blood row after row, he was filled with grief and anger, but there was nothing he could do.
He even didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him.
"ah!"
Two more Persian cavalrymen were killed.
"Asshole, what are you doing? Why don't you fight back? Kill me!"
Seeing his cavalry being slaughtered by the Ming army's muskets, Ayubuz screamed in anger. He drew out the scimitar he wore on his waist, led the elite guards around him, and rushed towards the Ming army on the hillside.
Although the armies in the Persian region all knew the power of gunpowder weapons, the lightweight muskets used by the Ming army were definitely a blind spot for them.
Ayubuz moved very quickly and reached the hillside in the blink of an eye. But as soon as he stepped onto the hillside, he saw a row of black holes in front of him, and the muzzles were aimed at him.
Ayoubuz was so frightened that he quickly reined in the reins and turned the horse's head.
"boom!"
There was a dull gunshot, and Ayubuz's horse was injured and panicked.
This sudden change shocked Ayubuz. He raised his head and looked ahead again, only to see Tang He holding a musket and looking at him with a smile on his face.
"You..." Ayubuz just said one word, and suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
boom!
Ayubuz looked down and saw a huge wound on his chest from a musket. The bullet pierced the armor and broke several of his ribs.
The severe pain caused Ayubuz to immediately fall off his horse.
“Allahhu Akbar!”
The Persian cavalry behind them rushed over one after another.
But before they even got close to Tanghe, they were shot to the ground.
Ayubuz turned his head with difficulty and watched as several guards around him were desperately trying to pull him away, and then they were pierced by muskets one after another, and finally fell down.
"ah!"
Ayoubuz's soldiers howled miserably.
Ayoubuz reluctantly opened his eyes, saw the white clouds in the sky, and then closed his eyes.
Ayubuz is dead.
The Persian army suddenly lost its backbone and began to collapse.
Upon seeing this, Tang He quickly ordered his Ming army to pursue the victory.
The fighting spirit of the Persian army suddenly collapsed, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack. The Persian army retreated steadily, and soon they were completely defeated.
In this battle, the Ming army annihilated nearly 10,000 Persian cavalry at a slight cost, and the Persian army lost more than 30,000 people.
This result made Tanghe very satisfied. Tanghe immediately ordered the collection of prisoners and sent people to inform the nearby Persian lords of the results of the battle.
Tanghe's plan was perfect. Not only did he defeat the Persian army, he also captured thousands of prisoners. All the grain and livestock carried by Ayyubuz with the army were also captured.
As the most powerful force in southern Persia, the elite Ayyubouzi family was wiped out in one battle.
The lords of Persian city-states from various places sent envoys to Beirhei City to express their surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
And Ayubuz's son Alaibu also rushed back. Now all the city-states in southern Persia have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty Persian Protectorate. If Alaibu does not act according to the situation, various opposition forces and enemies will probably destroy his family.
Pull it out by the roots.
Alaibu knelt down outside the tent door of the Ming Dynasty envoy and said respectfully: "Please, noble envoy of the Ming Dynasty, please forgive the sins of my father Ayubuz and allow my family to become loyal servants of the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Tang He nodded, and then let Alaibu enter the camp.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alaibu saw the body of his father Ayubuz lying on the cold floor.
Now a divided southern Persia is more in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty's Persian Protectorate. Tang He did not exterminate the Ayyubouzi family. He accepted Alaibu's surrender and submission.
Alaibu brought back the body of his father Ayyubuz, and at the same time he was canonized by the Persian Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ayyubid family, as the overlord of one party, fell, and the entire southern Persia immediately fell into huge chaos.
And this is exactly Tanghe's purpose.
Chaotic Persia can allow the Ming Dynasty's Persian Protectorate to gain more benefits.
As the Ming Dynasty's military base in Persia, Beirhei City is the winner in this chaotic area.
No matter which force it is, if it wants to maintain its own security, it must send its loyalty and tribute to the Ming Dynasty Persian Protectorate.
As soon as Tang He settled the issue of establishing the Ming Dynasty's Persian Protectorate, he had to hurry up and leave because the monsoon season had arrived.
If they miss this monsoon time, their fleet will have to wait at least half a year if they want to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Tang He left 500 Ming soldiers as garrison in Beirhei City, and led Maru Ali and others to return to the Ming Dynasty on warships and merchant ships.
After a month of sailing at sea, Zhu Han led the Ming Dynasty fleet and finally arrived in the Bengal region of Tianzhu continent.
As soon as they approached the seaside, they saw thick smoke billowing from the shore, and Zhu Han immediately realized that a war was taking place there.
After sending troops ashore on speedboats to investigate, Zhu Han's soldiers quickly made contact with Duan Gong's troops.
Only then did we know that the Delhi Sultanate had assembled a hundred thousand troops and completely surrounded Duan Gong in New Dali City.
Duan Gong is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Delhi Sultanate is riding on the neck of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Han naturally couldn't bear it.
He immediately ordered the fleet to fly all the Ming flags, and then landed close to the shore.
At the same time, someone was sent to inform Duan Gong that the Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals were coming!
Duan Gong was already anxious and anxious.
The Delhi Sultanate assembled a hundred thousand troops and besieged him in New Dali City.
Among them, Timur led the river cavalry to control all the surrounding Brahmin forces.
The enemies Duan Gong faces now are not simply ten times, it can even be said to be a hundred times!
How to fight this battle?
Duan Gong couldn't think of a way.
His only hope is that reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty can arrive as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will really be destroyed by the army of the Delhi Sultanate.
For several days, Duan Gong anxiously looked up at the city wall.
Everyone is waiting for Daming's rescue.
Sudden.
Several sailing ships arrived.
Ming reinforcements are coming!
After Duan Gong received the news, he immediately shouted excitedly: "The Ming Dynasty is coming!"
The first batch of ships sent by Zhu Han were not warships of the Ming Navy, but merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty.
"They are here to provide us with supplies. Welcome them into the city quickly."
Duan Gong immediately ordered his men to greet these merchant ships.
The merchant ships sent by Zhu Han entered the port just to bring some military supplies to Duan Gong.
Because Zhu Han heard that Duan Gong's army was seriously short of gunpowder and other supplies.
The arrival of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty made the soldiers in New Dali City happy and their morale immediately boosted.
At this time, outside the city, Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah and his general Gracchus, as well as Timur and other mercenaries, had completed all preparations and were ready to launch an attack on New Dali City at any time.
The spies of the Delhi Sultanate have also reported that a Ming reinforcement fleet has arrived on the sea.
Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah and Timur and others did not take this supporting army too seriously.
Firuz Shah smiled at his generals and said, "There are only a few dozen ships, and there are at most 10,000 people. How can they stop our army of more than 100,000 people!"
The generals of the Delhi Sultanate nodded in agreement.
but.
But one person's expression turned serious.
He is Timur.
Because Timur felt a faint sense of danger.
The lame Timur's instinct was like that of a wild beast, which made him feel that this reinforcement was definitely not simple.
Timur whispered to Firuz Shah, "Your Majesty, if the enemy dares to come alone from the sea, he must have some means. If possible, be careful."
Firuz Shah frowned and thought for a long time, and then said, "By God, as long as we do not underestimate the enemy and rush forward, there will be no danger! Send an order to the entire army to immediately deploy siege equipment and start the attack tomorrow to capture New Dali City."
The main weapons used by the Delhi Sultanate to attack the city were still catapults made of wood. Although they were very powerful, they were very slow.
The Ming Dynasty's artillery was much lighter, and its range and hit rate were higher than those of wooden rams and catapults.
It would not be easy to break into the New Dali City simply by relying on wooden catapults and other weapons.
Therefore, in addition to the use of catapults and other weapons in the siege tactics of the Delhi Sudar army, there was also a very powerful weapon, which was to use Tianzhu soldiers as cannon fodder to consume the defenders' strength and weapons.
Duan Gong saw the siege weapons of the Delhi Sultanate and stepped up his defense organization, waiting for reinforcements to enter the city.
The troops of the Delhi Sultanate did not yet know what a disastrous defeat the fleet led by Zhu Han would bring to them.
The soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate were still busy setting up various siege weapons such as rams and trebuchets.
Inside New Dali City, above the city gate.
Duan Gong had summoned the generals and officials in the city to formally announce the arrival of Ming reinforcements to boost morale.
Duan Gong looked around at the crowd and said: "The reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty have arrived, and His Royal Highness the King of England personally led the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty here!"
