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

Chapter 575

People from all walks of life in the Timur Khanate are still gathering, especially those in the southeast and northeast regions, who are far apart. In addition to the supply of food and grass, it will take at least two months.

Abu Saiza did not continue to wait, but led the leading army of 20 to set off.

Military Minister Muhalda commanded 30 civilians to transport supplies, a total of 50.

The army is mighty and mighty, heading straight for Tehran.

"Your Majesty, Timur has sent 50 troops and has arrived in Gamsa City."

Zhu Qizhen looked at the map, the distance between Tehran and Gamsa was only fifty miles, and the war was imminent.

"How are you going to deal with it?"

Li Zhen replied: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover!"

"Don't talk nonsense, talk about tactics!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhen made gestures on the map: "The enemy army is large in number, and the main force is cavalry, so they can only walk in open areas. There are mountains in the south and north of Tehran, and only the east and west sides are open land. I dug twenty trenches in the east. , to limit the opponent's cavalry, if the war starts, we can use long-range firepower to prevent the opponent from approaching."

Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked: "Where is the west side?"

"The west...is our territory!"

"Aren't you worried that Timur's army will come back?"

"Should... not be..."

Li Zhen stared at the map, suddenly losing confidence in her heart.

"The possibility of the enemy's retreating behind is really very small. However, it is a war now. As long as there is even the slightest possibility, you must not let it go. You are the highest command of our army now. Any mistake will lead to a big mistake."

"I understand, let's make arrangements."

"Don't worry, let's talk about your deployment."

Li Zhen turned around and said: "The main force in the front is firearms. The black sheep and the white sheep each lead 5000 men and horses. They will go around and cut off the enemy's supplies. I have agreed with them. They will only attack the food transport team by surprise. Just run, never want to fight."

"That's a good idea!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said: "50 troops, people eat horse chews, how much food do they consume in a day? As long as there is a problem with supplements, I'm afraid there will be chaos without a fight!"

"The minister also recruited a large number of laborers to expand the workshop, produce gunpowder, and smelt steel, which are mainly used to make landmines and cluster bombs needed by the Academy of Sciences."

"What about Belin?"

"Bachelor Bei is busy making cluster bombs. What I mean by this is that the Academy of Sciences is a secret weapon, and it cannot be shown at the beginning. In the early stage, our army focused on defense, consuming the opponent's supplies and patience. When the time is right, the Academy of Sciences will take action. Destroy it completely!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled with satisfaction: "I don't have any meaning for your tactical arrangement, go and implement it!"

"According to the order!"

Both sides are still nervously busy, making various pre-war preparations.

Ten days later, Abu Saiza thought that everything was ready, so he took the lead in launching the attack.

Timur's army was led by General Barulas, who was naturally brave and especially good at siege warfare. He made great achievements when he attacked the Sultan of Delhi, and he was worshiped by thousands of households.

Various siege equipment such as return cannons, ladders, and siege vehicles appeared in his army, and it seemed that he came prepared.

However, in the eyes of the Ming army, these equipment are really not worth mentioning.

In this era, any type of siege equipment is not as realistic as artillery.

The return cannon is a large trebuchet, which throws huge boulders and smashes down the city wall.

There are two kinds of siege vehicles, one is called Chongche, also known as Dulou, with a bumper in front, or a large pendulum hung in front, to hit the door.

There is another kind called Lvgong chariot, which is a five-story siege tower with eight wheels. Battlefield killer.

The cloud ladder is improved based on the folding flying bridge of the Song Dynasty. The bottom is designed as a car with shields on all sides, and the outside is reinforced with raw cowhide. city ​​walls.

In addition, there are building carts for observation and wooden curtain carts for defense...

Li Zhen stood at a higher position, observing the enemy's situation through a telescope, feeling more and more puzzled.

The Timur Khanate fought everywhere and was brave and invincible. Why are the weapons and equipment so backward?
They are all antiques from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, not as good as the big iron cannons from the early Ming Dynasty!

Although the range of that thing is limited, the shells are also solid iron bumps, and it is easy to explode, but it is better than these wooden frames, right?

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Timurid Army began to speed up. They held up their long knives and screamed in their mouths, and they were bound to chop the Ming army into pieces.

In the binoculars, you can even see the ferocious faces of those Mongolians.

In fact, these people are different from the Mongols in the north of Ming Dynasty. They inherited Persian culture, believed in Muslims, and had been Turkified from the beginning to the end. It is more accurate to say that they are Turks.

Li Zhen didn't bother to distinguish between Mongols and Turks, and directly ordered to open fire.

Boom!

Boom!

The first round of shelling began, and the shells roared like meteors, fell into the enemy cavalry phalanx, and then burst open.

The Timurid cavalry rushing to the front suddenly turned on their backs, and either died on the spot, or were trampled to death by the horses of the rear team after falling down.

Boom!

Boom!

The artillery continued to roar, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy cavalry.

The large army was still moving at a high speed, and they had no time to fear and pity, so they could only continue to charge.

Li Zhen stared at the battlefield from a distance. The number of enemy troops was too large, and the number of artillery on his side was limited.

And the other party was sure of this, and continued to charge despite the casualties.

In their eyes, as long as they can get close to the Ming army's position, the next step is unilateral killing.

When the distance between the two sides was a hundred paces, the front line of the Timur cavalry suddenly began to fall to the ground one by one.

This is the first horse trap prepared by the Ming army, which is specifically aimed at cavalry.

After discovering the horse pit, the Timurid cavalry began to jump up to avoid it intentionally. However, there was a second and third road behind them...

Looking at the battle situation in front of him, finally, Barulas felt that something was wrong.

According to this speed of battle damage, his own cavalry could not rush to the front of the Ming army at all!
"withdraw!"

Barulas decisively gave the order, and the horn sounded to retreat.

The troops in front stopped, changed from back to front, and began to retreat.
