my days with tyrants

When Kun Timur led the Zhao Sheng Army to revel in Haji Talha, Yedi, who was originally chasing Zhu Di, led the Qincha and Nuogai cavalry to arrive...

But it's useless.

The supplies Timur left in the city were eventually looted.

As for the next battle, it wasn't too intense. In fact, Yedi, who had run for seven hundred miles, should only reach the forward.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, Ye Di should immediately realize that these enemies who came out out of nowhere were not easy to deal with.

The fighting power is extremely strong.

Although they don't have the desperate firepower of the Ming army, those guys who seem to be poorly equipped and even poorer than them are very good at archery. Almost all of them are at the level of marksmen, and this is Timur's logistics base. His, he has lost a lot recently, there is no need to fight desperately with enemies like these mad dogs in order to protect Timur's supplies.In the end, Digai sent people to report to Timur, while attacking symbolically, but in fact, he sat back and watched Kun Timur and others calmly withdraw. The latter crossed the Volga River in Haji Talha, and then headed south Chase Zhu Di's army.

At this time, Timur, who heard the news, was also stupid.

He was still fighting Zhu Gaoxu at this time, and the battle situation was almost no progress.

It is impossible for him to bet on the [-] troops to fight Zhu Gaoxu, these are all his direct descendants, all soldiers from Hezhong and Khorasan.

He didn't dare to let his miscellaneous names know the fighting power of the Ming army, just like the Persians, Turkmens, and Jalayirs who were conquered by him, once they really saw the fighting power of the main force of the Ming army, they would immediately grow grass in their hearts.

Only direct descendants can be used.

But direct descendants cannot be used as cannon fodder.

So these days he can only try to attack in various ways, trying to find out the weaknesses of the Ming army, and continue to consume the ammunition and energy of the Ming army.

Given enough time, he will succeed in the end.

After all, there is no supply behind the Ming army, they are just carrying materials. Once it is consumed to a dangerous level, he will definitely retreat, and he no longer fantasizes about annihilation. He can't wipe out [-] Ming troops. The army has no ammunition, and it is not easy to deal with cold weapons.

The ferocity of Zhu Di's son reminded him of his own son who was hacked by Yang Feng...

Very fierce like Milan Shah!

however……

Now dumbfounded.

Of course he knew the consequences once Zhu Di crossed the Caucasus Mountain.

The south is indeed his ruled area, but the south is also full of ethnic groups he conquered with massacres, and they are all full of hatred for him!
Persians, Black Sheep Turkmen, Zalayir, Georgia, Armenia...

Then it's not grass growing in my heart, it's simply lighting a fire on the grassland after autumn.

He ordered the retreat without hesitation.

"Withdraw, is this withdrawn?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the rapidly retreating enemy in astonishment.

Zhang Fu next to him was also stunned. This result was indeed something they had never expected. The two sides have continued to fight until now, and their losses are actually not small. The combined casualties are almost [-]. They were already considering whether to retreat. Well, after all, the [-] is the elite of Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, so it is impossible to get in for Zhu Di.Even if Zhu Di's entire army was wiped out, it would be nothing more than the loss of [-] Ming troops, which would not affect Ming's dominance in the Western Regions, but [-] would be troublesome in the Ural River.

but……

Timur actually withdrew himself?
"Don't chase, in case there is fraud!"

Ping An said very simply.

He is the commander-in-chief of all the armies belonging to the imperial court, and Zhang Fu is the commander-in-chief of the Yanwang Guards, but in fact Zhu Gaoxu listens to Zhang Fu, so Zhang Fu is in command, but the soldiers in Beiting and Anxi are not the Yanwang guards, they obey orders Yu Ping'an is the commander.Ping'an's statement actually confirms that he cannot be chased. After all, the main force of the court will not put himself in for Zhu Di. It is necessary to come to the rescue, but it is not enough to rescue Zhu Di. Although losing the domain is a felony, it is a crime. before.

That was Lao Zhu's dead son.

Now that Zhu Di is dead, it's hard to say whether his niece and granddaughter will avenge him!

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhang Fu silently watched Timur's men retreating in a hurry under the setting sun.

"King Gaoyang, something's wrong. Something big happened behind them. Even these war elephants have been left behind. It's obvious where they need to go quickly."

Zhang Fu said suddenly.

Indeed, Timur abandoned the war elephants.

These giant beasts stayed in Timur's barracks after the first attack failed. Although they were useless against the Ming army and added to the chaos, they were magic weapons against other armies. A normal retreat should be a cavalry protection battle Elephants, cavalry and war elephants can keep walking at a normal marching speed. Animals like elephants are indeed inferior to war horses in running, but their ability to continue marching is not inferior to war horses.But now Timur's cavalry did not wait for the elephants, but retreated alone at full speed, pulling the elephants and elephant soldiers behind. Obviously there was an emergency, and the cavalry had to rush at full speed.

"Go, grab these elephants!"

Zhu Gaoxu said.

Then he urged the horse.

Then his personal guards and the cavalry led by Zhang Fu also rushed out, chasing and killing Timur's war elephant.

But Ping An and his court soldiers did not move.

Four days later, Timur, who had run for six hundred miles, returned to Haji Talha. On the same day, Zhu Di's army crossed the Telek River. Slow down, but continue to go south at a speed of hundreds of miles per day into the Caucasus Mountains, go south along the narrow corridor along the Caspian Sea and reach Daerban five days later.And on the same day, the Zhaosheng army led by Kun Timur caught up with those miscellaneous names in Zhu Di's rear team. The two sides even fought on a small scale due to misunderstandings. Zhong knew that they were following Zhu Di...

These guys were originally residents of Beergosarai. Zhu Di took them to cleanse the powerful people in the city, and then they followed Zhu Di to stick to Beergosarai. Clearly, now that Zhu Di is retreating, if they don't run away with Zhu Di, Timur will go to Beergosarai and kill them all.

They can only follow Zhu Di.

In other words, follow their golden tent sweat off and get lost.

Then they reported to Zhu Di.

When he got the news, Zhu Di had already passed the ear-beating class.

As for fighting...

There was no fighting.

There are no defenders in Daerban.

This pass, which is called the gate of many gates by West Asia and Qinchak, has been trampled into a bus by various forces over and over again in recent years.

And now this is the territory of Shirvan Shah who surrendered to Timur. When Timur led the army to fight in the north, he was stationed in Daerban with heavy troops...

What do you mean?
Do you want to get stuck in Timur's neck and cut off logistics when you are in a bad mood?

Therefore, there are a total of hundreds of doors in the ear ban to collect tax from customers and merchants.

And after Tuotuo Lost Khan, who had gone south from here twice in those years, these defenders abandoned the city and fled without hesitation, and then the tyrants in the city welcomed the king. They had actually welcomed Tuotuo Lost twice in the past. , this third kneeling can be said to be neat and tidy. The tyrants in this kind of place pay attention to kneeling wherever they go, and whoever comes is the master.

Sir, please come inside!
Baku.

"He's really smart."

After entering the city, Zhu Di looked at the palace in front of him with a smile.

Shirvan Shah Ibrahim I fled with his family before he arrived, but it could not be said that he fled.

He withdrew to the old capital Shirvan.

His territory is not just Baku. In fact, his territory is equivalent to modern Azerbaijan. The core is the plain south of the Caucasus Mountains. He is indeed a smart man. Daming's blacklist.His place is a commercial city, and there are a group of Armenian businessmen under Gulina in the city. He has long known the strength of Ming Dynasty, including Timur, who surrendered to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di was just passing by. He really didn't need to fight Zhu Di desperately.

But open surrender is impossible, after all, Zhu Di was just passing by.

Impossible to stay and protect him.

If he surrendered to Zhu Di, and then Zhu Di's army passed by, Timur would have to kill him.

So because he was frightened by Zhu Di's army, he gave up defending in Baku and fled to Shirvan to continue to resist.

Of course, Zhu Di kept going, and he would keep running away.

In this way, his army will not be lost, and his city will not be destroyed. At most, it will only lose some food and livestock. Even if Timur is well aware of his arrival, he has no time to entangle him. After all, he still has a certain strength. Yes, if Timur really wanted to fight him, it would be even more impossible to catch up with Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, a businessman came over and said that he was a naturalized man who was involved in a lawsuit and was trading here."

Zhu Neng said.

Then he pointed to the groveling white man behind him.

"Yang Feng's concubine?"

Zhu Di looked at this guy unexpectedly.

Immediately after he motioned for the latter to come forward, the man hurried forward humbly, then knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation.

Obviously Daming learned etiquette well.

"Little man Yang 42, kowtow to His Royal Highness King Yan, this is the identity certificate of the villain."

He held up a document in both hands.

Zhu Di took it, looked at the handwriting on it, and then squinted at the sun, the handwriting immediately showed a faint red color, which is enough to prove its authenticity. This kind of ink that can change color is still a top secret of the Ming Dynasty. Only the factory in the inner court can produce it, which is also the key to the inability of the banknote to be counterfeited. On it is the description of the person's appearance, as well as the name used in Daming.

"Get up, since you can come to do business, you can also go to naturalization, bring me a letter to Yang Feng!"

Zhu Di said.

Then he called an officer, and this was his military paperwork.

"Write to him in official script!"

He said.

The latter nodded immediately.

This businessman had to cross the city in the river, and there was a possibility that Timur's men would find him out, but even if some of Timur's men could understand Chinese characters, it was impossible for him to know official script.

He then dictated that the officer wrote a letter in official script to Yang Feng, telling him his current location, the previous battle situation, and his next plan. In fact, he did not expect to be able to fight back in this way. .The route he can go back is to go south to Persia, then go east across Persia, take Khorasan, go east through Balihe and Kunduz, and take the Wakhan Corridor to return to China, so as to avoid storming Samarkand, the core area of ​​Timur, especially It is the iron gate of the fortress between Termez and Samarkand.

But the plan itself is desperate for survival.

It is entirely hoped that the fire of hatred of those messy ethnic groups in the Timur-controlled area against the latter can be ignited by him.

Then use the resistance of these ethnic groups to hold Timur back, allowing them to return eastward with ease.

But if these peoples did not resist, but continued to obey Timur, he would have thrown himself into the trap.

So he needs support. If Yang Feng joins the battlefield, then Timur will be dead. And now he sends a letter to Yang Feng, and it will take about three or four months to reach Yang Feng. As for Yang Feng, he will go to the Western Regions soon. month is enough.Then as long as Yang Feng arrives in the Western Regions, all that is left is to give an order, and all the vassals in the Western Regions will obey the order without hesitation, and form a coalition army to march westward like last time, and go straight to the river in Timur's core area.At that time, Timur could no longer entangle with him, so he could only fight Yang Feng with all his strength, and he not only solved the problem of returning east, but could even continue to expand his power in Persia and other places.

Even killing back to the Chincha Grassland will do.

Anyway, apart from Timur, no other force in this place can defeat him, even with his current strength.

He is also very strong in front of him.

2 to [-] main forces, [-] imperial servants, more than [-] Zhao Shengjun, not to mention Guilichi in the north, and his son can also provide reinforcements. If Timur ran to the river to face Yang Feng, the following Even Bayezid was trampled under his feet.

In fact, after experiencing the trip to the Chincha Grassland, Zhu Di has realized that this land is really suitable for him.

The vast prairie, the river with huge water volume, the fertile black soil...

And it is said that the farther to the west, the better. After crossing the Volga River, to the west is the vast grassland along the Dnieper River, which is full of the most fertile black soil.

This is the foundation of hegemony!
Once he conquers the Eastern European Plain and develops it for a few decades, it will be enough to establish a powerful country that surpasses the Golden Horde. At that time, even if he still cannot seize the throne of the Ming Dynasty in the east, he can continue to develop westward, turning the entire west If he becomes his own territory, then the throne of the Ming Dynasty will not be important anymore.So although the current situation looks dangerous, it is actually the beginning of his breaking the game, and even his apparently deadly expedition is itself a part of his plan.

Otherwise, how could Timur be forced to betray Daming?If the latter does not betray Daming, then he will have to continue to entangle with Timur for a long time. Now that Timur is forced to rebel, he can use a knife to kill Timur, and use Yang Feng's hand to kill Timur, and then solve his own problems. The greatest enemy of western expansion.

He's not Twitch.

He planned it.

He is the vassal king of Ming Dynasty, the great-uncle of the empress, and the patriarch of the Zhu family. It is impossible for Yang Feng to let him die in the hands of Timur.

Otherwise, it will become the greatest shame of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the adventures of this plan...

For a hero of his level, the most indispensable thing is the spirit of adventure.
