After the collapse of the command system, even if the 120,000 Gur Dynasty army had a numerical advantage, it could no longer compete with the Ming army.
The 50,000 Ming army and 10,000 cavalry from the Western Karakhan Kingdom pursued, blocked, and galloped horizontally, dividing and surrounding the 120,000 Gur Dynasty army, making it impossible for them to look at each other from head to tail.
The Gurdwara army collapsed completely.
In this [Battle of Lian] that took place on August 23, the 11th year of Hongwu, the Ming army defeated the greater number with a small number, and defeated the Gur Dynasty army led by the Sultan of the Gur Dynasty personally, and achieved a brilliant victory.
In this battle, the Ming army killed more than 14,000 Gur Dynasty troops and captured about 70,000 people.
The rest is not that the Ming army is unwilling to catch them, but that they run too fast and the Ming army does not have enough troops to catch up.
It can also be seen from here that the quality of the soldiers of the Gur Dynasty army is relatively high.
Generally, soldiers with little quality only know how to kneel down and beg for mercy after the battle is defeated and the army collapses. They don't dare to escape, and they become prisoners of war.
The soldiers of the Gur Dynasty army were obviously well-trained. Although they were defeated, they still dared to escape. They fled in groups and in a directional manner, which showed that they were not completely discouraged.
After arriving at the front line, Su Haisheng knew the specific situation and expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the battle, but he was dissatisfied with so many people fleeing and felt that it was inappropriate to return the favor without reciprocating.
They took the initiative to attack before, now it's my turn!
On August 25, the eleventh year of Hongwu, Su Haisheng reorganized his army and sent 30,000 troops to march southeast along the Amu Darya River. The frontline of the troops was directed at the northern border city cluster of the Gur Dynasty in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River, such as Antiquities, Bancheng, Sapurgan and other important border towns of the Gur Dynasty.
After attacking the Ming Dynasty, do you expect the Ming Dynasty to do nothing?
Impossible, you must pay a price, a heavy price so that you will never dare to offend Ming again. Otherwise, you will not know how to respect a strong man.
Su Haisheng sent his troops to the southeast and arrived at the border of the Gur Dynasty on the third day of September in the 11th year of Hongwu. Then he sent his troops to attack the important border town of Antiqu.
He used the general's cannon and the cavalry's cannon to blast the Antiquus city wall. It took three days to blast a hole in the city wall. The army poured in, killing all the resisting troops, officials and dignitaries in the city, and liquidated all the people in the city. official personnel.
Then he divided his troops into two groups, attacking Sapulgan along the way and Bancheng all the way. It took him four days and two days respectively to capture these two cities, wipe out all the defenders, and liquidate the officials and dignitaries.
The border defenders of the Gur Dynasty had no way to resist the sharp firearms of the Ming army. They could only watch the terrifying artillery destroying their city walls, making gaps in their city walls and then swarming in.
Moreover, after the defeat of the main force, the people in the border areas who were the first to receive the news were panicked. The border defenders were so frightened by the fleeing troops in groups that they were unable to produce even three points of combat effectiveness. As a result, they were defeated like a mountain and the entire army was annihilated.
After all the defenders in the border area were annihilated, the northern border of the Gur Dynasty was opened, allowing the Ming army to march straight in.
Finally, on the tenth day of September in the eleventh year of Hongwu, Su Haisheng gathered his army in Sapulgan and announced his march to the capital of the Gur Dynasty, Firosgucheng. He assumed a posture of attacking the capital of the Gur Dynasty and completely defeating the Gur Dynasty. .
At this point, the Gur Dynasty completely understood.
The Ming Kingdom is terrifyingly powerful and the Ming Army is terrifyingly powerful. They are no match and cannot be beaten. Stop fighting. It’s time to beg for mercy.
However, Jiasuddin, who fled back to Feluosugu in embarrassment, kept up his face and wanted to concentrate his troops to defend Feluosugu. He was unwilling to give in no matter what. He said that he could die, but he could not be humiliated. He held on to his last breath and wanted to fight in a scorched earth. .
He announced that he would gather his last remaining troops and gather together the troops left behind in the capital, the defeated soldiers who had escaped, and the strong men who had been pulled out urgently, and barely managed to gather more than 30,000 people to defend Feilosgu and fight to the death with the Ming army.
If defeated, he would commit suicide.
He publicly stated that he would rather commit suicide than surrender to the Ming army. He also personally delivered a speech to the defenders and gave rewards and food in an attempt to boost morale and encourage the soldiers to defend the capital.
The big soldiers were inspired to have a little morale, and took on the posture of defending the solid city of Philos.
But the powerful bureaucrats in Felosgu City were unwilling.
Their family has a big business, and they are not as good as Jiasuddin who wants to save face and suffer hardship, nor are they better than the big-headed soldiers who can feed the whole family without starving. They don't want face, they want lining, and they want to survive.
They went in small groups to persuade Ghiyasuddin, either kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, or lying on the ground crying bitterly, or rolling around crying bitterly.
Anyway, the core idea is one.
Stop fighting and surrender. If you continue to fight, everyone will die with you.
Ghiyasuddin was furious and said that he would punish these people. However, these people were not afraid at all. They immediately changed their faces and said that if Ghiyasuddin insists on having his own way, he will bear the consequences.
Ghiyasuddin was angry and asked the soldiers around him to arrest all these people and execute them, but what frightened him was that the soldiers around him did not listen to his orders at all and just looked at him indifferently.
Obviously, they don't want to die either.
Ghiyasuddin failed too much, and his failure chilled them. They felt that following Ghiyasuddin could no longer gain any benefits, and even their lives were in danger, so why should they carry out his orders?
Only then did Ghiyasuddin realize that the power he had longed for might not be so stable anymore. Once the people in the city decided to leave him alone and negotiate peace with the Ming army alone, he would be their bargaining chip, and everything would be over.
After thinking about it all day and night, Ghiyasuddin announced the end of the resistance early the next morning, decided to have peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, end the war, take the initiative in the peace talks, and avoid his position being shaken during the peace talks, so that he would be People usurp.
Su Haisheng was very happy to hear the news.
Because his logistics was not that secure, he was hastily prepared to send troops this time. Breaking through the northern city clusters of the Gur Dynasty was all he could do, and he could no longer do more.
The rear clearly told him that they could no longer provide the food and fodder for him to continue to attack the Gur Dynasty south. If they wanted to continue to advance, it would take at least half a month to re-raise food and fodder, or they could support the war with war and use the captured food to continue the fight.
Su Haisheng did not have the idea of completely overthrowing the Gur Dynasty.
Although the Gur Dynasty was a small country compared with the Ming Dynasty, it was also a big country in Central Asia. It would not be possible for 30,000 people to completely eliminate it.
The attack on Feilosgu was just a feint for him. He was also thinking of finding a way to negotiate peace with the Gur Dynasty, end the expedition with some benefits, and go back to rectify the internal affairs. As a result, the Gur Dynasty was the first to be unable to hold on and ended the war. and asked for peace talks.
Naturally, when it comes to peace talks, who takes the initiative and who gives in? You have to listen to what they say, and Su Haisheng's request is nothing more than to cede territory and pay compensation, which is a matter of course.
He demanded that the Gur Dynasty compensate the Ming army for all military expenses and losses, including the welfare expenses of the soldiers who died in the battle, and demanded astronomical compensation.
It also required the Gur Dynasty to hand over the three cities of Antiquus, Bancheng, and Sapurgan and their surrounding areas, and cede the entire Ming army occupied area.
It also requested the establishment of a Ming consulate in the capital of the Gur Dynasty to specifically manage the affairs of the Ming people in the Gur Dynasty.
The Gur Dynasty also needs to sign a commercial and trade agreement with the Ming Dynasty. Merchants from the Ming Dynasty are exempted from paying tariffs when doing business in the Gur Dynasty. If they are involved in any incident, the Gur Dynasty is not qualified to deal with it and can only hand it over to the Ming Dynasty Consulate. Disposal.
The envoys from the Gur Dynasty who listened to a series of demands were dumbfounded.
