Mahama is a cautious person, and the army is somewhat special. After crossing the Tianshan Mountains, before arriving at the city of Taraz, he heard the news that Saramu had died in the battle and that Harry had entered the city.
The fall of Taraz City so quickly really shocked Mahama. He was worried that he would be attacked fiercely by Harry before he could set up his formation. He wanted to withdraw to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, but more than a dozen groups of spies were sent out, and hundreds of them were detected. Even though he was outside, he didn't see any movement from Harry.
Mahama arranged for the sergeants to form a formation and camped on the plain, waiting for Harry's arrival, and thanked Harry for giving him a chance to breathe.
But the strange thing is that Harry has given himself too many opportunities. He has been standing on the slope looking at it for two days, but Harry still hasn't come. Today he climbed the slope again, but still hasn't come...
Timur's grandson was known for his speed and punching, so why was there no movement at all?
If Mahama knew that the reason why Harry didn't come to beat her was because of a Kunlun black slave, I wonder if he would be so depressed that he vomited blood. Is your love worth less than that of a female slave?
But what was supposed to come finally came.
Mahama knew that his troops did not have an advantage, so he chose to fight with his back to the Tianshan Mountains, which at least could avoid being outflanked by Harry.
Harry led 50,000 cavalry to charge on the grassland. When he saw Mahama's military formation, he didn't even pause. He just pointed to the left and right. The lieutenants on both sides each led an army to attack Mahama from the left and right sides. numb.
Mahama sat upright on his horse, looking at the Timurid light cavalry getting closer and closer, looking at the arrows flying like locusts, and ordered the shield bearers to protect them, and then after the arrow rain fell, he drove out with the main force. The cavalry directly charged Harry!
As the younger brother of King Shamichakan of Yili, and the son of the black Erhuo, Mahama has a brave and fighting blood. After many years of fighting, he has accumulated extremely rich combat experience, and has developed the ability to kill people without stopping. The ability to be hacked.
Harry saw Mahama charging with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. What a fool. He led the charge with the main force. What about your left and right wings? Seeing that they haven't made much movement, I guess they were frightened. No. Without the protection of both wings, these rushing cavalry will be surrounded!
Mahama rushed to the front, holding a spear in his hand. Seeing Harry approaching, he stretched out his spear and stabbed Harry. Harry turned sideways and hid his body on the side of the horse to avoid Mahama. After sitting up, he swung the knife. Then he started to kill the cavalry in Yili's camp.
Thousands of cavalrymen fought on a battlefield less than ten miles in radius, with blood flying everywhere, horses wailing, screams, and shouts of killing intertwined together.
Suddenly, dull sounds came from the chaotic battlefield.
After Harry killed a sergeant, he looked up and looked into the distance. He saw that the cavalryman in Yili's hand was holding an iron pipe facing his own cavalry. Then the iron pipe trembled suddenly and spewed out a burst of black and gray smoke. , and his own cavalry fell directly from his horse.
"This is a firearm?!"
Harry was shocked. How could there be a firearm in Yili's handle?
Mahama's spear was like a dragon, and no one could stop it wherever it passed. He turned around and saw Harry watching, driving his horse to end the life of Timur's grandson, but who knew that at this time, Timur's cavalry were fighting to the death. There was no way to separate himself.
There was a cry of killing in the distance, and the cavalry in Yili's camp began to charge. In front of them were the Timur cavalry who fell on the ground, and the horses that had lost the ability to run. They had no time to avoid, and fell off the horses and twisted. A cavalryman with a broken neck.
In any case, the cavalry on the left and right wings sent by Harry suffered a sudden attack, and the forward suffered a lot of losses. In addition, the cavalry in Yili's army took this opportunity to counterattack violently, and actually defeated Timur's cavalry.
Harry knew that the cavalry in Yilibao had some fighting ability, but he never expected that they actually had firearms.
There were no firearms in Yili, but Shamichagan reached an agreement with Song Sheng and exchanged the deal for ten thousand fire guns from the Ming Dynasty.
Song Sheng was very happy. Anyway, it was time for the old-fashioned firearms at the border to be replaced. It was too troublesome to transport them back, the road was too long, and the cost was too high. After getting Zhu Yunwen's permission, he directly started the border arms trade.
This kind of old-fashioned firecrackers have been disliked by the Beijing army. After years of accumulation, firecrackers, improved firecrackers, and Huosui guns
, improved fire guns, bayonet-type fire guns, these have developed to the fifth generation. Selling the first generation fire guns is really not a big deal.
Shamichagan didn't know this. After possessing a large number of firearms, he gained more confidence in combat. If Tianshan didn't tolerate losses, Shamichagan would not have handed Mahama four thousand fire guns.
The firecrackers in Yili's handle are not specialized soldiers, but cavalrymen who serve as firecrackers. After firing a cannon, they hang the firecracker on the horse, draw their sabers and charge with a shout.
This kind of fighting method is also useful for the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty always charges while aiming at the same time. There are not many like Yili Baoli who fight first and then charge...
Harry felt the pressure of the battlefield for the first time and ordered Qiangzhili to invest more cavalry to stabilize the battlefield.
Compared with Mahama, Harry's biggest advantage is that he has more troops. Mahama only brought 20,000 cavalry, while Harry had 50,000, more than half of the cavalry. Even if some were lost, it would not affect the overall situation.
Just when Qiang Zhili led his men into the battlefield, there were bursts of killing cries from halfway up the Tianshan Mountains, and an army charged down from the hillside.
The Qiangzhili was shocked and thought that the main force of Yili had arrived, so he quickly organized the cavalry to retreat. As the retreat momentum increased, it was difficult to organize an effective resistance, and they could only be chased and killed.
Harry was furious and cursed the Qiang Zhili for being incompetent, but both his left and right wings were lost. If he did not retreat, he would be surrounded. As a last resort, Harry issued an order to retreat.
Mahama took advantage of the situation and launched a large-scale attack. He chased for more than a hundred miles and killed countless people before withdrawing his troops and returning to the vicinity of Tianshan Mountain. Overjoyed, he wrote a victory report to his brother Shami Chagan: "Four thousand enemy heads were killed in one battle, and Harry fled." , Timur is not invincible..."
Harry did not withdraw to the city of Taraz, but gathered his troops and conducted an inventory and lecture directly outside the city.
"You are the most elite warriors of the Sudan. What you are about to fight is a great holy war. Could it be said that this is the result you give to the Sudan? It is a shame to be chased by the enemy!"
"Now I give an order that no one is allowed to rest. Mount your war horse and follow me to fight back! If Mahama's plan is not defeated, I will have no face to see the Sultan, and you will have no face to face the ***!"
"send troops!"
Harry had a strong sense of honor and did not allow the stain of failure to hang on him. With strong willpower, he ordered the army to march. It was not until night that the exhausted army arrived ten miles away from Mahama's military formation.
This time, Harry did not show any contempt. Instead, he divided more than 40,000 cavalry into five directions and rushed towards Mahama's military formation at the same time. Four directions were feint attacks, and only the left wing was the main force.
Harry was worthy of being Tamerlane's most powerful grandson. With his tired body and revengeful heart, he launched a night attack.
Mahama never imagined that Harry, who had been defeated and suffered heavy losses, and who had retreated for more than a hundred miles, would dare to come back. When the loud shouts of killing came from outside, Mahama wanted to organize a counterattack, but Harry's strategy That's right. The main attack from the left wing disrupted Mahama's subordinates, and it was too late to mobilize troops to stop them.
In order not to be killed by Harry, Mahama had to lead his army to withdraw into the Tianshan Mountains, relying on the terrain to block the crazy attack of Harry's army. Harry couldn't kill Tianshan in a short time, so he had to kill Sergeant Yili who couldn't run to the mountain.
Mahama lost.
Also try to control the inner city.
Samichagan received the good news from Mahama. He was only happy for one day when he received an emergency document from Mahama asking for help.
"Eight thousand soldiers were lost!"
Shamichagan could hardly breathe in pain. This was his elite. How many soldiers can there be in the entire Yili force? Is it easy to train these people by yourself?
Since the war with Timur, Yili has not won a great victory once!
Tashkent is lost!
Wailetao Mountain is lost!
Taraz is lost too!
Now, even the grasslands from Taraz to Tianshan have been lost!
Shamichagan stared at the map and knew very well that if Harry's army passed through the Tianshan Mountains, Yili City would be in great danger. No matter what, no matter what the cost, we must defend the Tianshan Pass!
"Where are Ming's reinforcements? Hurry up and hurry up!"
Shamichagan wrote again, urging Zhu Di to fulfill his agreement and help Yili defeat Timur.
Hami.
Zhu Di has been keeping an eye on the war between Yili and Timur. The Security Bureau bribed more than a dozen spies in Yili and sent intelligence to Hami continuously.
"Mahama failed. He did not stop Harry."
Xu Huizu's face looked a little solemn.
After all, Timur's elite are still very powerful, and they can still win against Yili's elite. This army puts pressure on any opponent.
Song Sheng stared at the map and said uneasily: "Originally we hoped that Yili could hold off Timur's army for two to three months. If we continue like this, within a month, Yili will be able to hold back the city. It might be breached."
Zhu Di put aside a piece of intelligence and said in a deep voice: "How long Yili can hold on does not affect our strategy. What we need to worry about now is whether Shami Chagan will escape and give up Yili on his own initiative. city."
Xu Huizu shook his head: "Shamichagan has managed the inner city for many years, and since it is the capital of his country, I'm afraid he won't let it go easily. I heard that the city is high and the location is favorable, so I should be able to hold it for a while."
Song Sheng was a little unsure: "Sha Li Chagan is not afraid of death, but it does not mean that his subordinates are not afraid of death. Timur's reputation has left an indelible mark in the hearts of these people. If Timur comes to the city, and there are How many people can overcome their fear and choose to fight rather than surrender?"
Just when Zhu Di was about to speak, Yang Rong's voice came from outside the account asking for permission to see him.
Yang Rong hurriedly walked, holding a document in his hand, and handed it to Zhu Di: "The capital document."
Zhu Di quickly stood up and took it respectfully. Xu Huizu and Song Sheng also gathered over. Zhu Di opened the document and took a look at it, saying, "This is a document written by the emperor himself."
Xu Huizu was a little anxious: "What did the emperor say?"
Zhu Di watched carefully, and continued to the end, saying: "The emperor reminded us that we must pay attention to Yiwu and other places north of the Tianshan Mountains, and said that after Timur's army goes out, it may not directly seek a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, but may first station Don't lose sight of the situation. After stabilizing the situation, wait for Timur's main force before seeking a decisive battle. He also said..."
Xu Huizu asked hurriedly: "What else can you say?"
Zhu Di frowned, looked at Xu Huizu, Song Sheng and Yang Rong, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor also said that if we can find an opportunity to lure Timur's vanguard to fight first, it would be beneficial to the final battle with Timur. He advocated capturing Timur alive." His grandson Harry, in exchange for the return of the Ming envoy Fu An and others..."
"What?"
Xu Huizu, Song Sheng and Yang Rong were shocked.
Song Sheng swallowed and said in disbelief: "How did the emperor know that Timur's vanguard general was Harry, and how did he know that Fu An was still alive? When was this letter written?"
Zhu Di looked at the signing time and his pupils suddenly condensed:
In the sixth year of Jianwen, May 26th!
