Peach Blossom Stone is the name given to the Central Plains dynasty by people of the Central Asian generation. Although Firuz Shah is now in India, he is not actually a native of India, but a descendant of the Hurassanshan people from Central Asia. The name naturally follows the peach blossom stone, which is called China.
Everyone knew that the Sultan was angry and the consequences would be serious!
"Then...Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
The first person to ask the question was Basellius, the most trusted prime minister of the Sultan of Delhi.
"I will definitely make him pay!"
Firuzisha gritted his teeth and said, obviously being damaged by Duan Gongqi.
"Not only must we kill all those Easterners, we must also kill all those Bengal nobles. They surrendered to Duan Gong, that is, they are traitors. Only death is the best destination for them!"
Firuz Shah's cold voice made the generals and prime ministers around him take a breath, thinking: Your Majesty is really completely angered this time!
Moreover, he still used an extremely violent method.
"In this case... I suggest that your Majesty immediately mobilize a large army to attack the Easterners. We must drive those people away as soon as possible. Otherwise, when they gain a foothold, our life will be difficult."
"Well, Basilius is right, Your Majesty, I agree with Basilius's opinion."
A thin old minister stood up and said: "I think we should fight quickly, otherwise it will be bad when they react!"
Other generals also agreed. They were all afraid that the strength of the East was getting stronger and stronger, and that the entire Sudan might be unable to resist.
"Okay, then mobilize the army immediately and attack the east!"
Firuzisha slapped the table hard and ordered.
Firuz Shah also saw that his soldiers were not willing to go to war with the Easterners. This was their deep-rooted servility, so Firuz Shah decided to personally lead the team to conquer these guys who dared to betray the Sultan's royal family.
Firuz Shah was fully prepared. He even contacted the Tianfang Sect brothers in Khorasan and Kabul and paid to hire them to send troops to support him. Firuz Shah hoped that through the powerful Tianfang Sect army, he could directly Kill the Easterners' army.
The Delhi Sultanate itself is a military group that believes in the Tianfang Religion. When a group of powerful Tianfang Religion warriors enter India, they can maintain a stable rule for decades.
As the gradually decaying Tianfang Sect warriors in this batch of honey pots are no longer useful, the Sultan of Delhi will hire those tough and barbaric poor relatives from his hometown in Central Asia to come to India as mercenaries.
In the Western Region, on an oasis between East and West Chagatai, tens of thousands of troops were confronting each other and preparing for battle.
One of the fighting armies was the Mongolian Yuan army led by Wang Baobao who had just conquered the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
The other one is the Western Chagatai army led by Ugudura, the leader of the Western Chagatai Khanate.
Although the Western Chagatai Khanate still had a nominal khan, it had already become a puppet of the powerful ministers of the past dynasties.
The person who really holds the power of Western Chagatai is Ugudura who calls himself the emir.
Emir, this title sounds like the title of a ruler that only Tianfang believers would call themselves.
Yes, most of the Western Chagatai Khanate has converted to the Tianfang religion. Although many nobles know that they are from Mongolia, they have long been assimilated by the Central Asian Turks and the Tianfang religion in terms of culture and spirit.
Therefore, when the powerful official of the Western Chagatai Khanate, Ugudura, heard that the Tianfang believers in Eastern Chagatai had been killed by Wang Baobao, he immediately called for a holy war in the Western Chagatai Khanate.
Ugudula not only wanted to consolidate his newly acquired power through jihad, but also wanted to take advantage of Wang Baobao's unsteady foothold to swallow up the river valley oases in the Ili area.
Wang Baobao was not afraid of the invasion of the Western Chagatai Khanate and immediately led his Mongol and Yuan elites to meet the enemy at the border hundreds of miles away.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, they immediately broke down on the peace talks.
A war is about to break out!
All the people of the Western Chagatai Khanate have already believed in the Tianfang religion. Now when they are fighting against Wang Baobao's army who had massacred the Tianfang believers, their anger is rising immediately.
"Kill all the infidels!"
"Avenge the church members of Huozhou!"
More than 20,000 troops of the Western Chagatai Khanate launched an attack on Wang Baobao's 10,000 troops amid shouts.
Although Wang Baobao was at a numerical disadvantage, he did not panic at all.
Because Wang Baobao's army has more sophisticated Mongolian cavalry and more than a dozen powerful artillery!
"Hao Hai, I will send you as the vanguard to lead the charge!"
Wang Baobao said to his general Hao Hai.
"I obey, Grand Master!" Haohai accepted the military order without hesitation.
Then, he galloped his horse and whip, leading the three thousand heavy armored cavalry under his command, and rushed towards the army of the Western Chagatai Khanate.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about 200 steps.
Hao Hai took the lead in urging the war horse under his crotch, and led the three thousand cavalry behind him to rush towards the enemy like a tiger coming out of a gate!
When the army of the Western Chagatai Khanate saw these Mongolian heavy cavalry rushing over, they did not panic, but quickly organized a defense.
But what if they organized a defensive formation?
The Mongolian heavy cavalry still hit the soldiers of the Western Chagatai Khanate with overwhelming force!
"ah-!"
"ah!"
"Help!"
Screams echoed throughout the valley.
In just an instant, the formation of the Western Chagatai Khanate was washed away by the vast sea!
"So strong!"
The emir of the Western Chagatai Khanate, Ugudura, was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
He originally thought that with the 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, he should be able to easily crush this group of prairie barbarians, but who knew that this would be the situation.
No wonder these reckless men were able to kill the Tianfang believers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to pieces. They were really powerful!
However, Ugudura was the leader of the Western Chagatai Khanate after all. After a brief shock, he regained his composure:
"Pass my order and all the cavalry will be in formation! No matter what the cost, we must stop this group of cavalry!"
As Ugudula finished speaking, several bodyguard cavalry immediately ran away beside him, apparently to convey the message.
"Send the order, all the cavalry will line up to meet the enemy, no defeat is allowed!" Ugudula roared again.
"yes!"
Subsequently, the cavalry of the Western Chagatai Khanate began to form a rapid formation, and became more and more dense!
In fact, what the Western Chagatai Khanate is best at is not the cavalry, but the infantry in the mountains of Central Asia.
Compared to the mounted archery that the Mongols were good at, the Central Asian cavalry of the Western Chagatai Khanate were more accustomed to close combat.
"kill!"
The army of the Western Chagatai Khanate began to move slowly, forming a straight line, preparing to face the Mongolian heavy cavalry.
"kill!"
The Mongolian heavy cavalry also started to take steps, and then turned their horses' heads, preparing for the upcoming decisive battle!
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, and in just a few seconds, the two sides met.
"kill!"
The Mongolian heavy cavalry roared and slashed with the horizontal sword in its hand!
Although the Mongolian cavalry under Wang Baobao were no match for the Ming army, they were authentic Mongols after all and were very skilled in using various tactics.
Coupled with the help of several artillery pieces in Wang Baobao's army, the Tianfang Sect soldiers of the Western Chagatai Khanate were simply unable to resist.
No matter how devout your faith is, you can't stop the Mongols' iron hoofs and artillery.
"For the true God!"
“Allahu Akbar!”
A young general from the Western Chagatai Khanate shouted loudly while waving the scimitar in his hand.
Encouraged by him, the surrounding soldiers of the Western Chagatai Khanate actually blocked two consecutive attacks by the Mongolian Yuan cavalry.
The heroic actions of this young general immediately caught the eye of Ugudura, the emir of the Chagatai Khanate.
Ugudu pointed at the general, "Who is that devout warrior?"
The confidant next to him looked up and answered immediately.
"Distinguished master, that is Timur from Thirsty Stone City!"
"Timur?"
When Ugudula heard this name, he knew that this young general, who looked like a Central Asian Turk, was from a Mongolian noble family like himself.
Just when he was about to order to reward Tamerlane on the battlefield and then boost morale.
suddenly.
Another burst of artillery roar came from Wang Baobao's army.
A cannonball hit the mount of the heroic Western Chagatai Khanate warrior Timur.
I saw the black horse whining and falling to the ground, and Timur also fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead!
The Western Chagatai Khanate's Ugudura couldn't help but change his expression. The artillery in Wang Baobao's army specially selected the places where the Western Chagatai Khanate resisted the most intense bombardment.
This shows that Wang Baobao's artillery is extremely accurate, and it can be said that it can hit wherever it is pointed.
Ugudula immediately became frightened. Although he was located at the rear of the Chinese army, who knew whether he would be bombarded by enemy artillery?
As the commander-in-chief of the first army, Emir Ugudura was already timid, and brave generals like Timur were also severely attacked by the Yuan army. Soon after, the military morale of the Western Chagatai Khanate was completely in chaos.
"Failed!"
"Run for your life!"
…
Soon after, the tens of thousands of troops of the Western Chagatai Khanate dispersed, and with a huge defeat, this holy war came to a shameful end.
Ugudula led thousands of defeated soldiers and fled back to the river. His generals suffered heavy losses in the pursuit of the Mongols, and many of them became the dead souls of the Yuan army.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Ugudula immediately promoted the brave Timur to Wanhu after returning to the river. Although Timur was lame when he was bombarded by Yuan army artillery on the battlefield, this did not affect him at all. The heroic reputation he earned.
As the ruler of the Western Chagatai Khanate, Ugudura had realized the power of the Yuan army after this battle. He must find some very powerful allies for himself to fight against Wang Baobao who came up from the eastern grasslands.
"Khorasan, Kabul and the Delhi Sultanate, these places are all our reliable allies. We can ask for some financial support from the wealthy Delhi Sultanate, and then use the money to hire warriors from Khorasan and Kabul to resist the attacks from the east. Wang Baobao!"
The lame Timur, who had just been promoted to Ten Thousand Households, immediately presented his coping strategies to Ugudula.
The area from the Arabian Peninsula to Central Asia has been almost completely assimilated by Tianfang Sect.
Although there are still huge differences and old and new grudges between various ethnic groups, as long as you have money, you can still hire many Tianfang Sect warriors to conquer and resist the heretics.
In the eyes of these Mongolian descendants of the Western Chagatai Khanate, they have a stronger sense of identity with the Tianfang believers in Central Asia. On the contrary, Wang Baobao, their blood relatives on the eastern grasslands, is regarded by them as heretics who should be eradicated.
"What a great idea!" Ugudula greatly agreed with Timur's suggestion.
"These Orientals are pagans!"
"This is not just a war for our Khanate!"
"It is also a holy war for all believers in the Tianfang Sect!"
In order to enable himself to possess the capital of jihad, Ugudura immediately appointed the lame Timur as the envoy of the Western Chagatai Khanate, and went to India to form an alliance with the Delhi Sultanate to request military support.
Although the Delhi Sultanate and the Western Chagatai Khanate are not directly bordering each other, the exchanges between the two sides are quite frequent and friendly.
Therefore, everyone in the Western Chagatai Khanate is very confident about this military assistance and will be able to achieve what they want.
Timur, who had just become lame, went to the Delhi Sultanate with an autographed letter from Ugudura, the emir of the Western Chagatai Khanate.
After nearly a month of long journey, Timur the lame finally arrived in Delhi.
However, when he met Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah, the result he received was that the Timur mission was disappointed.
"We have also been invaded by the Orientals. In order to defend our dignity and the will of the true God, we decided to hire the Tianfang Sect brothers to launch a holy war against the Orientals entrenched in Bangladesh!"
Firuz Shah, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, received Timur in his magnificent palace.
"This place was also invaded by Easterners?" Timur couldn't help being shocked when he heard the news.
In Central Asia, almost everyone knows that the once powerful Mongol Yuan Empire has completely collapsed and failed, and a new empire established by the Han people is rising.
But no one thought that these little characters who were defeated in the war in the far east, whether it was Wang Baobao met by Timur or Duan Gong met by the Delhi Sultanate, were all so good at fighting!
That’s all Wang Baobao. After all, he still has the dual banners of the Great Khan of Mongolia and the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. His name is still very resounding, and he has some strength that can be justified.
But what the Sultan of Delhi, Firuz Shah, just said, sounded to Timur like a runaway unknown, who was actually able to take a big piece of fat from the territory of the powerful Delhi Sultanate.
"The terrible east!"
"I really don't know what kind of monsters are entrenched there!"
Timur was not only curious about the Han regime that could drive out powerful warlords such as Wang Baobao and Duan Gong.
"They're just a bunch of greedy monsters who don't believe in the true God!"
"I am now waiting for the tribute taxes from various places. As long as these funds are received, warriors from Khorasan and Kabul can come in a steady stream. I will lead one hundred thousand devout warriors of the true God to kill all those Eastern pagans who stole Bengal. !”
Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah believed that as long as he had enough money, he could hire a large number of militant fighters who were good at fighting.
"I'm afraid Easterners are not that easy to deal with!" Timur felt his lame legs and feet and couldn't help but issue a sincere reminder.
However, in the view of Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah, his reminder was just a failure to realize the power of the Delhi Sultanate.
Although today's Delhi Sultanate is seriously corrupted, it can't even assemble a truly fighting army within its own country. It can only spend a lot of money to hire poor relatives from Central Asia to serve as soldiers.
However, this did not affect Firuz Shah's confidence in the victory of this holy war.
The news that the Delhi Sultanate was amassing money and wanted to hire soldiers to attack Duan Gong in Bangladesh naturally quickly reached the ears of Duan Gong himself.
