The Ming army on the west road continued to advance, and it was only two hundred miles away from Herat City, which could be reached sooner or later.

Abu Saiza was sitting on an army of 20, but he was very aware of the strength of these newly recruited recruits, and he was anxious like ants on a hot pot, at a loss for what to do.

Just three months ago, his 20 elites disappeared in one day.

Now these soldiers and horses are either young and strong selected from the people, or they are the original auxiliary soldiers. They have been issued a saber in a hurry, and they have become a regular army in military uniform.

Therefore, Absaiza had no confidence in his heart, and urgently needed two troops in the northeast and southeast to return to defense.

The edict was issued more than a dozen times, and finally, a definite answer came.

Don't lose Bali Mian Masu suddenly announced that he would break away from the Timur Khanate and restore the title of the Uyghur Khanate.

Ma Suhu accepted the canonization of Ming Dynasty, transformed himself into the Uyghur Khan, and declared that the Uyghur Khanate respected Ming as the suzerain state and had a good relationship forever.

Abu Saiza only felt that his heart was bleeding. At the time of the life and death of the Timur Khanate, Ma Suhu, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually rebelled!

However, blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.

Only three days later, there was another news that East Chahatai Tumian Mabuhara declared independence and restored the East Chahatai Khanate. He also respected Ming as the suzerain state and accepted the canonization of Daming to become East Chahatai Khan.

At the critical juncture, all the remaining troops capable of fighting rebelled.

Under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty, the Uyghur Khanate, the Eastern Chahatai Khanate, the Delhi Sultan, and the Black Sheep and White Sheep all sent troops to crusade against the Timur Khanate.

Only then did Abu Saiza realize the seriousness of the matter.

The city of Herat has already fallen into panic. In order to prevent people from escaping, the gates of the city have already been closed, and they can only enter and exit.

However, what should come will always come.

The five armies of the Ming army hardly encountered any resistance, and drove straight in, approaching the city of Herat.

Looking from the top of the city, it can block out the sky and block out the sun.

Abu Saiza suddenly realized, isn't this the situation when he attacked Tehran?

It's just that the roles of the two parties have been reversed, and now they have become the disadvantaged party.

He keeps cheering himself up, the Ming army can fight back, and so can I!

Attacking a city has always been a hundred times more difficult than defending it. Now that there is enough food and grass in the city, there is no need to worry about being raided on the food road, not to mention that there are 20 troops. It is not yet known who will win the battle.

There is no retreat behind, only to stick to it, and the Ming army will die!

In the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Jianshen finally got his wish and met his father.

"Father, I miss you!"

Zhu Qizhen was surprised to find that Zhu Jianshen had grown taller.

Thinking back, before I knew it, I had been out of Beijing for more than a year.

"Is everything okay in the capital?"

"Go back to Father, everything is fine!"

Zhu Jianshen not only grew taller, but also grew up. He spoke politely and finally looked like a crown prince.

After the father and son got together, there was not much communication.

Sometimes that's what happens between men.

When you reach a certain age, you will assume corresponding responsibilities. Even father and son don't need to get along day and night, let alone earnestly.

The most urgent task is to take Heilat and completely remove the last obstacle in the Western Regions.

This is Zhu Qizhen's mission, and it is also Zhu Jianshen's mission.

Tong Xuan couldn't wait any longer, and took Zhu Jianshen's hand: "Your Highness, what do I want?"

Zhu Jianshen said: "I brought them all, in the barracks."

That night, the sky was clear and the moon was full of stars.

Abu Saiza lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

At the beginning, Emperor Timur fought east and west and established a huge khanate, which has continued to this day. After experiencing glory and civil strife, he came into his own hands. Seeing the prosperity of the world, a great Ming suddenly appeared. Who can bear this posture?

He has been unable to figure out why he was so well-behaved that he suddenly came to the city.

When the Ming army entered Tehran, they didn't even look directly at it. Unexpectedly, that unremarkable Ming army suddenly opened its bloody mouth and wanted to swallow itself alive.

I dare not dream so bizarre...

The stars outside the window seem to be moving in a trance.

Abu Saiza rubbed his eyes and opened them again.

Not dazzled, really moving!

He rolled over and got out of bed, went to the window, and looked up at the starry sky.

The stars in the sky are flying slowly, and, judging from the direction, they are moving in the direction of Herat City.

Suddenly, he was startled.

The vision from the sky, is there any meaning in it?

Is it God's protection, or...

Whoosh!
A ray of light flashed across the night sky, and the stars fell.

It's a shooting star!
The starlight is very faint, but it is very dazzling in the dark night sky.

Abu Saiza thought hard. In his memory, the appearance of shooting stars was not a good omen.

In the records of the ancients, the appearance of meteors heralds the occurrence of disasters...

Whoosh!
Another shooting star across the night sky, the second one!
Then came the third, fourth, fifth...

The stars fell like rain, leaving beautiful bright marks in the night sky.

Boom!

Just when Abu Saiza was still wondering about the meaning of the celestial phenomena, the nightmare began.

Boom!

Boom!

All of a sudden, the entire city of Herat was caught in explosions and flames.

Abu Saiza was terrified, but at a loss.

If he was facing a Ming army attacking the city, no matter how fierce the opponent's firepower was, he could immediately appear on the city wall and personally organize troops to defend.

However, there are no enemies in the field of vision, only stars from the sky.

Could it be that even God is against me?

Boom!

Boom!

This time it was not low-quality black powder, but a high-energy explosive brought from the mainland of Ming Dynasty, which was extremely powerful.

After a violent explosion, the entire palace collapsed.

The century-old foundations of Abu Saiza and the Timurid Empire were all buried under the ruins.

Most of the buildings in Herat City were made of wood, the city gates were closed, and a large amount of food and grass were hoarded. It is conceivable that after the explosion, there was a huge fire, which burned for three days and three nights.

It wasn't until all the combustibles in the city were burned that the fire gradually subsided.

After the fire, the entire city of Herat was completely reduced to ruins, and the once glorious Timur Khanate no longer existed.

Among the Ming army present, except for the three major battalions who followed Zhu Qizhen all the year round, it was the first time for the rest to feel such terrifying combat power.

Especially Ma Suhu and Bukhara, the two brothers only felt a cool breeze on their backs.

It is not too wise to defect before the battle!

If you follow Absaiza against the Ming army, this is your fate.

Zhu Jianshen was also shocked.

He has been studying with the Academy of Sciences all year round and knows the power of high-energy explosives. However, in actual combat, it is the first time that he has witnessed such a real and terrifying power with his own eyes.

Only by feeling the cruelty of war firsthand can we appreciate the hard-won peace.

For the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, this lesson is enough to benefit him for a lifetime.
