Crossbow arrows!
The thick crossbow arrows shot through the air!
Shen Chen and Lu Qian didn't even look at whether the crossbow arrows would kill Timur, they turned over and got into the dark alley.
Timur sensed the crisis and saw the fatal black light with his sharp eyes.
At the critical moment, a tall sergeant strode out, placed a heavy shield on his left shoulder, held the shield in his right hand and placed it on his chest, standing sideways.
boom!
The shield made a dull sound, and the brave sergeant felt that the bones in his shoulder were about to break. He stepped back, knocking down the two of them, and fell to the ground himself.
"There is an enemy!"
*** became nervous, and the heavy cavalry quickly guarded Timur, alert to the surroundings. The light cavalry had already rushed out, but there was only a simple ballista in the distance, and there was no trace of anyone else.
Timur looked at the thick wood on the ground. The sharp end hit the shield. It was no longer sharp, but its huge power was still surprising. If there was no soldier to block it, if the blow fell on him The consequences would be disastrous!
"Catch them out for me, I will kill them with a thousand knives!"
Timur shouted sharply.
Shen Chen and Lu Qian were running for their lives. In order to be safer, the two of them blatantly rode on the street, shouting to catch the assassin, and then headed straight for the south city gate.
There was a fire at the North City Gate, and the control was too tight. There was a large army outside the West City Gate, making it difficult to escape. The pasture had just been set on fire at the East City Gate, making it difficult to leave. Only the South City Gate was relatively safe. Although there was a fire, it was just a pile of tents, cotton, and winter supplies. The quantity was not large, so the situation was relatively relaxed.
But even so, thousands of soldiers appeared at the south city gate to block the road, and the city gate was also closed.
Shen Chen did not panic. He urged his horse forward and shouted to the interrogating sergeant: "I have been ordered to get out of the city!"
The sergeant came forward to check, and Shen Chen took out the document that Meier had prepared a long time ago. It was a receipt document for Harry. After the messenger delivered the document, he always had to take the receipt document back with him. At the same time, it was also a customs clearance document. Documentation.
When the sergeant saw this, as if it was Meier's order, he asked a few questions, such as why he didn't go through the north gate, why he didn't leave tomorrow, etc. Shen Chen retorted, and finally said harshly: "Don't open the city gate again. , I will go back to General Meyer and ask him to personally invite you to open the door!"
Seeing this, the sergeant could no longer stop him, so he had to order someone to open the door and send him out of the city.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the two left the city gate, the sergeant at the south gate received an order. Brutus and Meyer were dead. Anyone holding a letter from the two men who wanted to leave the city must be arrested and no one was allowed to be released. People leave the city.
After the sergeant heard this, he immediately trembled with fear and quickly informed the officer.
After hearing the details, Timur swaggered out of the city, holding Meier's souvenir. He was so angry that he trembled and ordered people to pursue him.
Shen Chen, Lu Qian, Zhang Mu, Li Zongyin and others successfully met up at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the sea of fire, Yili took control of the inner city. Hearing the loud shouts of killing, Shen Chen looked a little ugly: "We have provoked a big crowd." -Trouble, leave quickly."
The group of people immediately headed towards the mountain. At the beginning, it was possible to ride horses on the mountain road, but as it went up, the road became more difficult, so they had to lead the horses to climb the mountain. More than ten miles west of the mountain road where Shen Chen, Zhang Mu and others were walking, Timur's sergeants were blocking the mountain road and sending sergeants to investigate the past.
The mountain in front of us is called Mount Borokonu, which is a branch of the Tianshan Mountains. Ziyili leads the city to the north. Only by climbing over this mountain can we enter the wide basin area.
Although there is not only one road over the mountain, there is only one that is best to take, and that is the mountain road to the west of Yili City, which leads up to Sailimu Lake, where there are green grass, luxuriant flowers, and clear blue water. There is also a large grassland nearby. It is a pleasure to go out of Tianshan Mountain and into Polo City from there.
But Shen Chen and others have no chance to enjoy it for the time being. They may be caught if they go there, so they have to risk taking another more dangerous and difficult mountain road.
Fortunately, the scouts and the people from the Security Bureau have very good physical strength, and they also have a lot of training for things like climbing, so they can endure it.
If you are strong enough, climbing mountains is not a big deal.
Shen Chen and others took a risk and burned nearly 60,000 shi of Timur's grain, a total of 200,000 shi, more than a quarter of which was burned. But this is not what makes Timur the most distressed. One hundred thousand stones of grain, together with cattle and sheep, is enough for the army to fight for nearly two months. What really makes Timur sad is that the horse grass he finally saved was burned!
People can eat grain and meat. If they have something to eat, they will never die of hunger. If that is not enough, they can still eat horses. But what about horses? What they mainly eat is grass...
A large army needs a lot of horse grass to march. Now that nearly half of the horse grass has been burned, how can the war horses travel far? You can't just herd your horses every time you go to a place without forming a formation or setting up camp, right?
What if you want to chase the Ming army? If you are tired of chasing the horses and there is no horse grass around, what should you do? And on the battlefield, war horses are used for fighting, not for grazing!
Without the support of a large amount of horses and grass, it would be difficult for the cavalry to maintain full combat effectiveness, and it would be difficult for the cavalry to pursue and fight in depth without any worries!
Timur's roar spread far and wide!
In a house, Fu An and Guo Ji, who were guarded by sergeants, watched Yili set fire to all sides of the city, and they couldn't help but feel happy.
When the fire broke out in the north of the city, Fu An thought it was an accident and was thanking the sky for opening his eyes. However, another fire broke out in the east of the city, and then many fires started to rise...
Even a fool knows that this is arson.
Guo Ji looked at the red-hot night sky and smiled at Fu An: "This must have been done by Shamicha's dead soldiers."
Fu An frowned and asked, "Where are the dead soldiers from Shamichagan in Yili City? There are only dead people."
Guo Ji thought about it. After Harry broke through the city, he massacred all the people in the city for two days. After Harry left, Meyer and Brutus came and searched again, finding out the survivors. people were slaughtered again.
It can be said that there are no natives in this city, at least no living people. It is naturally impossible for a dead person to stand up and set fire.
Guo Ji was puzzled and asked: "Is it possible that there is internal strife in Timur's family? Some people want to use this to oppose Timur's eastern expedition. Isn't the cost of doing so too great?"
Fu An was not sure, so he killed all the people inside. It was unlikely. There was internal strife in the Timur family. This was a possibility. I heard that Miransha was opposed to Timur's expedition, and even dissatisfied with the vanguard several times. Harry.
But Miran Shah was Timur's son. He could oppose Timur's military operations, but he could not be stupid enough to betray Timur.
Fu An pondered for a while and asked in a low voice: "Do you think it was possible that we people from the Ming Dynasty did it?"
When Guo Ji heard this, he immediately laughed, then shook his head repeatedly, and said bitterly to Fu An: "This is a joke, but I can only laugh at it. If we people from the Ming Dynasty can go deep into Yili City, then They have already defeated Harry's vanguard. Brother Fu, it's not that I, Guo, look down on our generals, but we don't have a force that can go deep into the Western Regions and defeat Harry's cavalry, no! If the Lan Jade case hadn't happened..."
Fu An sighed. If Lan Yu was still alive, Ming would no longer be afraid of Harry, and maybe even Timur could fight. It's a pity that the blue jade is gone, and countless founding generals are gone!
I can't find any generals who are experienced and good at leading cavalry accumulated during the Hongwu period.
Well, Song Sheng can barely be counted as one, but he has never commanded a large-scale cavalry, and he does not understand the tactics of large-scale cavalry. Even though he was so powerful in the Western Region, it was only because Wala, Hami and others were weak.
Fu An counted on his fingers and didn't know who Zhu Yunwen could choose as the main general.
The door was opened.
Shaharul came over with a murderous look on his face, looked at Fu An and Guo Ji chatting, and shouted sternly: "Come here, kill them!"
Fu An stood up, stepped forward without fear of death, and shouted: "If you want to kill, then do it! I, Fu An, have never been afraid of your saber! Timur said let us return to the Ming Dynasty and watch the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty shattered . But let me say, you are now unable to move even an inch and are unable to conquer the east, so you want to kill me now, right? In that case, then do it
Bar! "
Shaharul drew out his sword and widened his eyes: "Da Ming, Da Ming, you are all the craftsmen sent by you. With these dirty tricks, if I don't kill you today, how can you calm the anger in my heart!"
"Did Sergeant Ming really light this fire?"
Fu An asked quickly.
"Did you order it?"
Shaharul scolded.
Fu An took Guo Ji's hand and was very moved: "You heard it, it was our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty who did it, it was them! They have walked out of the desert and come here! They have become stronger!"
Guo Ji didn't know how to comfort Fu An. Is the Ming sergeant strong? Just sending people to sneak into the city and setting a few fires, is it called powerful? If he was really powerful, how could he use this method to delay Timur...
In Guo Ji's view, true strength should be to defeat the enemy on the battlefield with dignity and dignity!
But this is not the case in Fu An's view. The strong is weak but knows how to use all methods and means to weaken the enemy's strength and ultimately achieve strategic goals. Even if this method is despicable and unclean, it is still reasonable.
Soldiers who, deception also.
War is about striving for victory by any means necessary. To understand this is to be strong. The kind that lets people cross the river first, set up the formation first, stand firm first, and say hello first, is not called strong, nor is it called benevolence, that is called a fool.
Shaharul saw the two chattering and stepped forward to chop them off with a knife!
The losses were so great this time that no one was caught! What's even more abominable is that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty dared to attack and kill Sultan Timur. Since no other people from the Ming Dynasty have been found, let’s deal with these two people from the Ming Dynasty first!
Always let out a bad breath!
"Step aside!"
Guo Ji pushed Fu An away violently and was stabbed in the back, causing blood to flow immediately!
Fu An looked at Guo Ji who was throwing himself on him with a painful expression on his face, and quickly shouted: "Brother Guo!"
Guo Ji laughed miserably, holding back the severe pain: "Let me tell you first, I am not blocking the knife for you, I want to be your big brother and go to hell before you do."
Fu An was in agony, knowing that he was doomed, so he shouted to Shaharu: "Kill me first! I am the official envoy of the Ming Dynasty!"
Shaharul couldn't hear the word "Da Ming" and decided to kill the two of them completely. As soon as he raised the butcher's knife, there were footsteps behind him. *** hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Don't kill me. I just received it." According to the information, the Ming Dynasty should have passed through the city of Kurkhalawusu before sending envoys!"
"Envoy? They still dare to send envoys? Who is so bold that he is not afraid that we will cut him into pieces!"
Shaharul was furious.
*** clenched his fist, glanced at Fu An, gritted his teeth and said, "It is reported that the Ming Dynasty's envoy is named Fu Lin!"
"Fu Lin?"
Fu Anru was struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot. Isn't this his son's name?
