Han Du calmed down for a moment, and immediately said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and find the woman Faraij for me."
The soldiers took the order and left, and soon brought two soldiers and half-carried Faraji to Handu.
Although Faraij is the first heir to the Mamluk dynasty, she has never been on the battlefield, let alone seen the two armies fighting with her own eyes. Therefore, on hearing that her brother Belgog's army might be coming, she wanted to turn around and escape to the ship. Perhaps now only a warship can bring her some sense of security.
But before Faraij could walk down the hillside, she was stopped by the soldiers who arrived and forcibly took her away.
"Master Marquis, she wants to ask him why he summoned her." Shi Si helped relay what Faraiji said.
Han Du smiled faintly and said, "Tell her that our Ming Dynasty is fighting this war for her. If she is not here, I am afraid there will be something bad."
After hearing this, Faraiji forced a smile. He neither wanted to stay here nor dared to leave.
Han Du saw Faraij's expression and said again: "Shi Si, tell her to stand in front of the military formation."
Shi Si was stunned for a moment, but conveyed Han Du's meaning to Faraij.
When Faraji heard this, he was immediately stunned. In front of the military formation, they had to face the charge of the Bellgorge cavalry. Faragi didn't want to go to such a place, and would rather die than go.
Han Du heard Shi Si's complaint and said to her: "Since you want to ascend the throne, you must stand in front of the military formation. Otherwise, you will not be able to ascend the throne, because there is no son of any kingdom. The people will agree with a Sultan who is as timid as a fox. Don’t worry, I will ensure your safety and will not let you be harmed. After all, I am still waiting for you to fulfill your promise, right?"
After hearing this, Faraij raised her head and glanced at Han Du. She didn't want to stand in front of the military formation and take risks, but Han Du's words were not wrong. If she couldn't even show her courage to her people, then she had Why should he ascend the throne again?
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Ming army can ensure her safety.
After repeatedly confirming with Han Du, Faraij walked to the front of the military formation cautiously and stood on a raised platform facing all the cavalry.
Faraij's unusual behavior, and because Han Du now had the same goal as her, gave her the treatment she deserved as a princess. Dressed in gorgeous silk, Faraji was like a focal point, instantly attracting the attention of all the cavalry.
Ordinary cavalry did not know Faraij, but the emir among the cavalry knew her. Although most of the emirs recognized Faraij, they did not care about her identity as a princess. The purpose of their coming here was to kill this former princess.
There were a few emirs who were still thinking about the previous sultan. When they saw Faraij, they couldn't help but slowly slow down their horses. However, there are too few such people, and they are simply inconspicuous among the large cavalry.
The cavalry charged towards the Ming army's artillery array as densely as a tide, like a sweeping tide.
This was the first time for many navy soldiers to see tens of thousands of cavalry charging together. This overwhelming pressure made them very uncomfortable.
Seeing that the time was right, Baiyunhu immediately yelled at Han Du: "Master Marquis, the cavalry has entered the cannon range, please give the order!"
"Fire the cannon immediately and give me all the shells!" Han Du was like a spring that had been suppressed for a long time, bursting out all the roars in an instant.
"Open the cannon immediately and shoot out all the shells!"
"Open the cannon immediately and shoot out all the shells!"
Military orders were passed to all the cannon positions at an extremely fast speed. The navy soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised their torches and lit the fuses, which made a crackling sound as they burned.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The earth-shaking loud noise startled Faraji. But she reacted instantly, forced herself to calm down, raised her head and stretched out her hands, as if embracing the sky.
Clouds of white smoke erupted behind her, and countless red cannonballs flew over her head and bombarded the cavalry formation. The advantage of artillery against cavalry is once again vividly demonstrated. A falling cannonball can bring out a long bloody path in the cavalry array. Whether it is a person or a horse, they will die if they touch it, they will be injured if they touch it, their limbs will be broken, and their flesh and blood will fly everywhere...
Fierce artillery bombardment lasted for two full seconds. When the cavalry could not bear the huge casualties and had to retreat temporarily, only a thick carpet of flesh and blood was left on the entire battlefield. Countless people and horses were neighing and wailing in pain in this bloody hell!
Faraij stood in front of the military formation, completely stunned by the sight in front of him. It was the first time she saw so many dead people, and she should have felt scared, but now when she thought that such a tragic scene was caused by the Ming army, she couldn't help but feel excited. Because the stronger the Ming army is, the greater her hope of regaining the throne.
Belgoge did come in person, and he also brought all the emirs and summoned all the troops to come together. When Belgoge heard the news about Faraij, his face was full of surprise. Because the order he gave to the guard was to take Faraij to other kingdoms and kill her.
When his bodyguard reported back to him, he also said that he had killed Faraij himself. But now the appearance of Faraij made Belgog know that his bodyguard might have betrayed him.
Belgog immediately ordered the guard to be executed. Regardless of whether he betrayed or let Faraji live because of his negligence, he deserved to die.
After executing the guards, Belgorge immediately ordered the recruitment of all the emirs of the dynasty and assembled an army to prepare for a decisive battle with Faraij. Because, Belgoge got the news that Faraij was back with a large army. He also thought that Faraji had found a mercenary outside who was willing to fight for her, and he was going to eliminate Faraji and the mercenaries together.
However, just the first contact battle made Bellgorge feel unspeakable pain. The cavalry he had high hopes for lost nearly 10,000 people in the first battle, and several emirs died on the spot. This made Bellgorge, who was backed by an army of 100,000 men, helpless to feel worried.
The opponent was so powerful that the sacrifice of nearly 10,000 cavalrymen did not even touch the opponent's position. The opponent's losses made Bell feel like he was in a chokehold, and the opponent's casualties were zero.
Belgog summoned the remaining emirs to discuss the next step. These emirs were also frightened by the scene of the first battle. Where have they ever seen such a brutal battle from the very beginning? To be fair, the few emirs who died in the battle were not bad, at least on par with most of them. In a scene like today, even if they rush forward with their troops and take over, they will not be any different from the few who died in the battle.
Everyone was frightened by the brutality of the first battle, and the earth-shattering sound still echoed in everyone's ears, making them tremble uncontrollably when they recalled the horrific scene.
Even the scene of Faraji standing in front of the military formation and raising his hands to embrace the sky was regarded by many timid people as mysterious witchcraft. It is believed that the terrifying flames and mysterious iron balls were summoned by Faraji using witchcraft.
Just one contact battle caused the morale on Bellgorge's side to drop to the freezing point.
Others can be timid, but Bell cannot. If he shows even the slightest hint of fear, then I am afraid that the emirs under his command will fall directly to Faraij, and at that time it will be impossible for him to survive even if he wants to.
Therefore, this battle must continue to be fought, and must continue to be fought. Not only can you hope to defeat the opponent by continuing to fight, but even if you fail, it can also consume the strength of the emir under his command, making them dare not rebel.
Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, as soon as it became dark, Beierguge began to gather his army again to attack the Ming army.
Bellgorge continuously attacked the Ming Dynasty Navy for three days, but the more he attacked, the more powerful he felt the opponent this time. The cavalry under his command are absolutely invincible in the surrounding kingdoms. Just imagine, these ancestors of cavalry actually defeated the whip of God. Although in Han Du's words, their ancestors just picked up a bargain, but picking up a bargain also depends on strength. Otherwise, why would there be so many other kingdoms that they took advantage of?
But even such an elite cavalry, after attacking continuously for three days, was unable to conquer a hillside that was not too high? In three days, almost half of the 100,000-strong army suffered casualties.
It stands to reason that with such heavy casualties, the morale of the military has collapsed long ago, and those emirs should have led their troops and fled. But they don't dare now, because all the casualties belong to them, the emirs. Belgorge's own army has been deliberately preserved by him and has never been on the battlefield.
Now all the Emirs have lost their troops and generals, but Belgorge's strength has not been lost at all. Under this situation, other people certainly did not dare to oppose Beierguge.
Although they dare not directly rebel against Bell Guge, they are not so stupid that they do not know how to preserve their strength. Now they are unwilling to send their cavalry to continue charging and fighting, and all of them look at Belgorge. They had fought hard for Belgouge for so many days and suffered such heavy losses. If Belgorge did not use a single soldier, then they would definitely be separated from him.
But Belgoge was unwilling to use his own troops to attack. These days, he could see clearly from behind that the opponent's strength was beyond his imagination.
He lost most of the emir's cavalry, but the damage caused to the opponent was minimal. Many times I saw the cavalry breaking through the enemy's formation, but before the cavalry could attack, they fell off their horses one after another, and it happened like this every time.
