Cairo city.
Faraj sat at the round table and looked at Hafiz, Baibars, Tamush and others with cold eyes.
Baibars felt quite painful and said in a deep voice: "We are no match for the Ming Dynasty. Being enemies with them will probably be a disaster for us. This disaster will be more serious than the flooding of the Nile."
Tamush slapped the table unwillingly: "After all, the Ming Dynasty is in the far east. Although they have a powerful army, they may not be able to send it here."
"But they have a powerful navy!" Baibars was worried and added: "They have already appeared in the Red Sea."
Tamush gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "So what, they will not exceed 10,000 sergeants at most. As long as we are willing, it is not a problem to recruit more sergeants and create an army of 300,000. With 300,000 strong soldiers, how can we still Shall we obey their orders?"
Hafiz thought for a while and asked, "What strategies do you have available?"
Tamushi snorted: "The Ming threatened us with a few soldiers and disrespected the king. How could the Mamluks submit? I propose to kill Zhu Quan and others on the way back, and then blame the rebellious refugees. If If the Ming Dynasty wants to accuse them, just let them kill the refugees, it has nothing to do with us."
Baibars's face became very ugly.
Daming is not a fool. If you play with fire like this, you will be the one who gets killed.
However, Faraj nodded: "You are right, the Ming Dynasty may be powerful, but it may not be much stronger than us. As a king, how can I be overridden by others, send troops, and kill people?" There is no need for Zhu Quan and his army to blame the refugees. They can just dig a hole and bury them. If the Ming Dynasty sends someone to ask, they will say that they have gone back. If they don't see it, they may have lost their way."
get lost?
Hafiqi nodded. This was also a reason. After all, if a person went in the wrong direction, he would probably enter the desert, die of thirst, and not find a body. This was normal.
"Send Hu Zhifu to lead 3,000 cavalry to catch up with the Ming army. Tell him that he must be quick and clean and leave no trace behind."
Farage was determined.
For those who killed King Ning and Daming, the so-called October 10th deadline no longer exists. The Mamluk dynasty does not need to live by anyone's face, not even Daming!
What's more, the fundamental purpose of the Ming Dynasty was to dig a thoroughfare from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, but the Mamluks did not want this road!
Once the river is opened, the Mamluk navy, which itself is not outstanding, is likely to be unable to defend the interests of the Mamluks. If this river cannot be controlled and instead becomes the territory of Venice and other Mediterranean countries, wouldn't it be equivalent to other countries? The state directly occupied Mamluk territory?
In land warfare, the Mamluks could fight and resist, but naval warfare was not the Mamluks' specialty. Besides, once the river channel is dug out, several major Mamluk ports will decline. Wouldn't it cost more wealth to build other ports?
Regardless of the dignity of the Mamluk dynasty or the interests of the Mamluk dynasty, this river should not be built.
Zhu Quan!
The blame lies with you, the Ming Dynasty, who was too arrogant and dared to threaten the Mamluks with only 800 men! The blame lies with your ambitions, which threaten the safety and interests of the Mamluks!
Do it!
Faraj dared to beat even Timur. Although he was beaten badly, he still had the courage after all.
The sun sets in the west.
Zhu Quan looked at the small mound not far away, reined in his horse, and said to Zhou Yihu and others beside him: "Let the sergeant occupy the high ground and prepare for battle."
Yang Shan frowned and looked back, but saw no pursuers: "Is your worry unnecessary? The Mamluks are a powerful country around the Mediterranean, but after all, they are far inferior to the Ming Dynasty. They still dare to attack us." Can’t you do it?”
Zhu Quan smiled faintly: "In the face of major interests, there is no time to succeed with just a few words without bloodshed. The Mamluks knew that the Ming Dynasty was powerful. This knowledge was only because Tamerlane died in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty did not have it at all. Beating the Mamluks until they hurt, hoping to make them obey through prestige
, I’m afraid it won’t be easy. "
Yang Shan looked suspicious: "But even so, they don't have the courage and guts to take action against us, right?"
Zhu Quan drove his horse to a high place and saw the sergeants placing the squatting cannon in an orderly manner. He said in a deep voice: "There are always some people who are ignorant and fearless. Didn't Annan know that the consequences of offending the Ming Dynasty would be destruction, but they still sent troops to plunder the people of the Ming Dynasty and occupy The land of the Ming Dynasty! It is not incomprehensible for the Mamluks to take action."
This time, Yang Shan did not believe Zhu Quan's judgment.
Amina looked at the busy sergeant and asked her father Renebo in confusion: "What are they doing?"
Renebo saw the sergeant open the box, saw the sergeant take off the things from his waist and put them on the mound, and said uneasily: "They seem to be preparing for battle."
"Fight, but there are no enemies here."
Amina looked around.
Renebo was also puzzled. This was a small mound, but it was right beside the road, making it a good location for an ambush.
But, who ambushed here? Could it be Faraj’s army?
It shouldn’t be.
If Faraj wanted to deal with the Ming Dynasty's army, he could do it outside Cairo. There was no need for the Ming Dynasty to leave. Now that he has been let go, why would he take action again? Isn't this the behavior of a villain?
Renebeau was bitter.
Isn’t Farage just a villain?
He lost to Timur. In order to avoid disaster, he abdicated the throne, and then backhandedly regained the throne.
Dusk has not yet come, but the thunder of the cavalry has already arrived.
Yang Shan opened his eyes wide and looked at the light cavalry flying in the distance. Faraj actually took action, and the main force was sent!
Damn Faraj, damn the Mamluks!
Zhu Quan put down the telescope and said to Keshan, Jiang Wu and others: "There is no need to hold back, just hit him to death."
Hu Zhifu was a direct descendant of Faraj and had more than a thousand sergeants who belonged directly to him. Together with other forces sent by Faraj, he formed three thousand light cavalry.
Chasing the 800 Ming army was not a difficult task for Hu Zhifu, and he even felt that 3,000 men were not needed at all.
Eight hundred people, most of them infantry, three hundred cavalry are enough, why use such a large formation!
Hu Zhifu had no room for objection. In order to ensure that nothing was left behind, he had to bring more people with him to ensure that no one from the Ming Dynasty could escape and that no one from the Ming Dynasty had to lie in the pit.
"The Ming army is in front, kill me!"
Hu Zhifu saw the Ming army on the mound, shouted and charged, without even thinking of saying hello.
Half an hour later.
Renebo stood there stupidly, his hands trembling slightly. Amina clenched her fists tightly, and the blood in her body was about to boil.
Latib couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his Adam's apple kept moving up and down.
how so?
Renebo could not believe that the powerful three thousand light cavalry were wiped out by eight hundred soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! The sound like thunder, the black flying iron like wind, and the ferocious demon emerging from hell swallowed up the lives of the cavalry.
died?
So simple, so simple to die?
Renebo has participated in wars and knows how difficult it is to kill an enemy. You need to risk your own life to fight!
But the Ming Dynasty’s army didn’t need to risk their lives. They just stood on a high place and threw things. After throwing things, they started shooting arrows. After the archery was completed, they cleared the battlefield...
The incredibly simple battle deeply shocked Renebo, Amina, and Latib.
Is this the Ming Dynasty?
Is this the rumored power of Eastern Seris?
They defeated Timur, they are invincible!
Renebo felt dizzy. Of these eight hundred people, only a dozen were slightly injured, but they killed three thousand cavalry!
"The Ming Dynasty has mastered beyond imagination
With the power of elephants, they can control any country with their firearms. "
Latib is afraid of this kind of power and also yearns for it.
Renebo looked at Zhu Quan who had returned. His body was stained with blood, and there were several heads hanging on the horse. He did not speak, but just dropped the heads.
The Ming sergeant placed the heads one by one, piling them up little by little, like a hill.
Jiang Wu walked towards Latib, holding a wooden board in his hand: "Write on it: October 10th, the deadline."
Latib looked at Jiang Wu in shock: "Are we going back?"
Jiang Wu grinned: "That's natural. If you agree on a deadline, you will naturally have to wait for it to arrive."
Latib quickly wrote down the text.
Jiang Wu inserted wooden boards in front of the pile of heads and gathered up the intact horses.
The infantry became cavalry.
Zhu Quan left, heading towards the Ming Navy's station in the Red Sea.
Cairo city.
Farage has been waiting for the good news about Hu Zhifu's stabbing. He tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. He got up several times to ask if there was any news about Hu Zhifu's stabbing, but he was told that there was no news.
It finally dawned, and Faraj finally waited for the news about Hu Zhifu, but the news was not sent by Hu Zhifu himself, but was discovered by the people and spread to Cairo.
Hu Zhifu was stabbed to death.
Three thousand Qingqi died.
The heads were piled in piles like a pyramid.
Farage was trembling, unable to accept this reality.
Hafiz, Baibars, and Tamush couldn't believe it. How could the powerful light cavalry, or three thousand men, lose to the Ming Dynasty's eight hundred men?
But now it's not a question of losing, but of death.
Dead, all dead.
This is the result!
The Ming Dynasty did not attack Cairo City in turn, nor did it send anyone to send a warning message, but only left a final date warning.
Faraj knew clearly that if he did not agree by the last date, then next time, it would not be Hu Zhifu who died, but himself, and Zhu Quan would not kill the three thousand cavalry, but the entire Mamluks!
"Send someone to send you a heavy gift and tell Zhu Quan that the Mamluks have agreed to his proposal. We will cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, Venice and other countries to recruit 300,000 people to dig a river connecting the Mediterranean and the Red Sea."
Farage was extremely sad, but he also knew that there was no other way.
"ps:
Thanks to book friend 58656304 for reminding me that it was wrong for Zhu Di to encounter cactus when he was marching. Cactus appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. I changed the cactus in the previous article to Guanyin willow, Jingxue is very grateful. "
