At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 558
Tabriz City, Ivan Castle.

"Brother, according to a report from a Tehran informant, the Orientals have run out of ammunition."

Karasah's face was full of excitement. He knew that the orientals had powerful firearms, but they had no ammunition. That thing was a fire stick.

"Is the news accurate?"

Gahan Shah was relatively calm and calm. Since the negotiations broke down, he has been acting secretly, looking for opportunities to fight the Ming army.

"Sure!"

Kara nodded and said: "At least three informants have sent information, and their respective statements can be confirmed by each other."

"It's not enough, we must ensure that everything is safe. The firepower of the Ming army is too terrifying. Once we make a mistake, we will have no chance."

"Brother, don't worry, I have sent spies to verify the authenticity of the information, and the Timur Khanate wrote back, saying that they are willing to put down their hatred and send troops together to drive the Easterners out of this place!"

Gahan sneered, "They would be so kind?"

"I think it is credible. The Timur Khanate is definitely unwilling to see the power of the Ming Dynasty spread to its doorstep."

"I mean, the purpose of their sending troops is not just to drive away the Easterners, I'm afraid they are preparing to take Tehran in one fell swoop. At that time, we will be passive!"

"Oh, I didn't think so much..."

Kara immediately realized the problem. Over the years, the Timur Khanate, the Ottoman Empire, the Black Sheep Dynasty, and the White Sheep Dynasty have all competed for the city of Tehran. In the end, no one actually controlled it. Now that the Ottoman Empire has been destroyed, the biggest force is the Timur Khanate. Under the current situation, it is the best time to win Tehran.

At that time, the strength range of the Black Sheep Dynasty and the White Sheep Dynasty will be further compressed, and they may be eroded and annexed by the Timur Khanate...

Gahan asked, "Did the Timur Khanate say how many troops it dispatched?"

"Say it, fifty thousand cavalry!"

"Fifty thousand cavalry..."

Gahan frowned. There were only [-] Ming troops stationed in Tehran, so why sent [-] cavalry?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because all the black sheep tribes who can fight add up to 5 people. The Timur Khanate knows its own details, and it seems that it is ready to occupy Tehran.

"Brother, what should we do?"

"Tehran's position is very important and cannot be easily given up."

"But... we only have 5 people, and most of them are infantry. Even if we take them out, we may not be able to beat the Mongols..."

"Then go to recruit soldiers and send me an order that every household must produce a man over the age of 16 and under the age of 50. If there is no one, fifty silver coins will be paid as military salary."

"Brother, fifty silver coins... isn't it a bit much, I guess most people can't afford it."

"Nonsense, I just want them to be unable to take it out. Otherwise, they will all choose to pay the money and not send anyone. What are we going to fight with?"

"Yes, yes, what the elder brother said makes sense!"

Kara nodded in agreement, and said, "Then I'll get ready!"

"Kara, you have to remember that the Shah family will rise from us!"

"Brother, don't worry, even if you die in battle, you will take Tehran!"

The city of Tabriz is [-] miles away from Tehran, and most of them are plains or sandy land, with a few hills. There are no natural barriers, which is very convenient for marching.

Under the darkness, a team of 200 people was on their way.

However, they did not take the main road, but took advantage of the small roads, lurking at night and marching at night.

Bei Lin personally led this team, leading Tong Xuan, Mei Chun, Xu Pu and other [-] students from the Academy of Sciences, and [-] soldiers from the [-] Battalion as guards.

The guide of the team is Ma Lanqi, a young man who has always performed very well and provided many valuable clues in the search for the mole.

While the traitor in the city was delivering the news, Belin had already organized a manpower and quietly left the city.

After a journey of [-] miles, I walked for five nights and finally arrived.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy, Belin chose to settle in a mountain [-] miles outside the city.

This place is full of plains, and no one will go to live in the depressions.

At night, Mei Chun led people to fly Kongming lanterns, tested the wind force and direction, recorded data, and prepared for the upcoming siege.

Ma Lanqi sneaked into Tabriz City during the day and sneaked out at night.

At this time, Tabriz City was recruiting soldiers, and there were people everywhere, and no one noticed him at all.

"I got it clear, the Black Sheep Tribe is ready to launch a general attack on Tehran!"

Belin nodded and asked, "How many of them are there?"

Ma Lanqi said: "Originally there were 5 people. However, I heard that the Timur Khanate would take advantage of the opportunity to send troops, and they would dispatch [-] cavalry at one time. The Shah brothers were worried that Tehran would be captured by the Timur Khanate, so they recruited a large number of troops. They asked every household to send a male. If not, they had to spend [-] silver coins as military expenses."

Belin couldn't help cursing: "This group of devoid of conscience, fifty silver coins, isn't this driving people to death?"

"I've heard it all in the city. Many families have no males and can't afford money. They are forced to sell their sons and daughters. There is no way to survive."

"Ma Lanqi, let me ask you, what would you do if you met such a leader?"

"I?"

Ma Lanqi smiled sheepishly, and said, "Maybe I will be drafted into the army, and then go to the battlefield as cannon fodder... that's about it!"

"Haven't you thought about resisting?"

"My lord, you are joking, what can I do to resist?"

Bellin sighed helplessly, and said: "The same is true for the people of the Black Sheep Tribe. Even if they want to resist, they have no ability. Therefore, meeting a sensible monarch is really a blessing from a previous life!"

Ma Lanqi asked: "Master, are you talking about His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Yes, it is the emperor!"

Belin changed the subject and said: "Let's talk about business, how is their conscription?"

"I heard that an additional 5 people have been conscripted. Counting the original army, the total is 8. I also heard that the Shah Brothers are planning to send 2 people to attack Tehran and leave [-] people to defend Tabriz City."

"Where did you get all this information?"

"It's spread all over the city. The Shah brothers don't seem to intend to hide it. Instead, they want to tell others that they have [-] troops. Are they demonstrating against the Timur Khanate?"

"It's possible!"

Belin thought for a while and said, "The city of Tabriz is closer to Tehran and has geographical advantages. If the Timurid Khanate wants to occupy Tehran, it needs to dispatch more troops. This is a huge waste, and it depends on whether the Mongols are willing to pay the price."

"My lord, what should we do next?"

"From tomorrow onwards, you'll go hang out in the city, and just wait for the other side's army to call, and report to me right away!"
