my days with tyrants

Chapter 349

Sadie Behan...

Sadie Behan left directly.

"What, what does this mean?"

Qiu Fu looked at the Golden Horde cavalry who were retreating quickly in bewilderment.

"How much did they lose?"

Zhu Di looked at this scene and said with a smile on his face.

"Back to the king, no matter what, it must be more than three thousand, and they are all elite."

Qiu Fu said.

"How many casualties did we have?"

Zhu Di said.

"A total of 12 of the general's subordinates were killed, and more than 30 were injured, but they were all minor injuries. Even if they continued to fight, there would be no hindrance. Their arrows couldn't pierce our armor at all. At most, they were accidentally landed on the seams of the armor. As for the twelve dead, eight were grenadiers and rocketmen, but they killed more than 100 enemies."

Qiu Fu said quickly.

It is really difficult for the Ming army to suffer too many casualties with this tactic.

If the enemy does not rush through the firepower net, it is useless to simply shoot arrows from a long distance, let alone a cavalry bow 30 meters away, even a strong bow ten steps away cannot shoot through their plate armor, even though their plate armor Just full armor.But this is a serious medium carbon steel forged and then heat treated and carburized and polished on the surface. Even the three-eyed gun bullets in the past can't penetrate them unless they are within ten steps.Just like the bows and arrows of the Golden Horde Cavalry, it is like scraping them 30 meters away, that is, the number of shots coming in is enough, so that some accidentally fall into the cracks of the armor and cause damage.

As for the grenadiers and rocketmen who rushed through the firepower net, their armor was heavier. Except that the grenadiers needed to keep an arm to throw grenades, the rest of the fingers were protected by the armor.

Long sword, heavy armor.

They can easily slash and kill enemies who dodge bullets and shotguns.

Of course, these are also the main casualties on the battlefield, after all, they need to go out of the camel city to fight.

"Our total casualties were less than [-], and they died at least [-]. How can such a battle continue? Shadi should not be supported by Yedi. If he wants to get rid of Yedi, he must first have soldiers in his hands. All the elites in his hands are fighting here, how will he compete with Yedi for power in the future?
Let them go!
It's still useful to keep them. "

Zhu Di said.

With that, he turned south.

But Tutuo was lost there and no longer needed his reinforcements.

Shadi Behan's retreat had already declared the winner of the great war. Not long after his retreat, the Golden Horde cavalry who were fighting Tuotuo lost also quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

However, Tuotuo was lost and had no ability to pursue.

He immediately reconciled with Zhu Di, and visited the battlefield with shock, and then the two of them headed south with various ministries and even many of the original Shadi Behan's men who surrendered and got lost without the slightest delay.This is not surprising, he was originally the former Golden Horde Khan, and it is normal for those fools who surrendered to Yedi when he failed to surrender to him at this time.In short, the [-] troops with the prestige of victory went straight to Belgosarai. When they arrived, Shadi Behan had just returned. Facing the enemy who was chasing him, Great Khan hurriedly collected some supplies without hesitation, and then abandoned the city and fled .

In fact, in the ongoing civil strife in the Golden Horde, almost no one will stick to the city.

They are nomads...

At least these Mongol rulers, descended from conquerors, were nomads.

So they don't have the habit of guarding the city. As long as they encounter a powerful enemy, they leave the city immediately. The vast grassland is their real home. Even in a capital like Belgosarai, the residents are essentially servants who submit to them and serve them.

Will the master care about their life and death?
When Timur attacked, he ran away without hesitation, just like Tutuo Mimi. Now that Zhu Di and Tuotuo Mimi are fighting, Shadi Behan also ran away without hesitation.

then……

Bergosarai.

Standing in front of the palace that had obviously been burned once, Zhu Di admired those buildings full of exotic styles with great interest.

"So you are obviously Mongols and the Golden Family. How did you learn from the Turks? Learn their language, their characters, their architecture, and worship their gods. You are obviously conquerors. How did you learn from them? Total surrender of the conquered?"

He said.

Tuotuo was speechless.

At this time, a large number of elders, wealthy merchants, and serf owners in the city, being chased by Tuotuo's lost subordinates, walked up to them one by one with flattering smiles, and then knelt down on the ground without hesitation, as if welcoming the king's master Ban bowed to the Golden Horde Khan and the Khan King from Daming.As a nomadic conqueror, Shadi Behan can run away without any worries, but they can't run away. Everything they have is in this city, but during the civil strife that lasted for decades in the Golden Horde, they also I am used to this kind of life.

Kneel whoever comes!

It's not like they didn't kneel before getting lost, but now they just continue to kneel.

Zhu Di looked at these servile guys...

"Kill them!"

He said.

Tuotuo was stunned for a moment.

"Do you still want them to kneel down again next time? They betrayed you once, and you want them to betray you a second time? These people will kneel whoever comes, and then we must stick to the winter here, Ye Di The army of the gods will come back soon, and Shadibe will come back, they will surround the city, and we need to hold out here until spring, so do you think they will work together with us? And the food in the city And livestock are limited, are you sure you can keep them to share the limited food and livestock with us, and finally survive until next spring?
kill them.

Give those commoners and slaves their fields, houses, and shops.

Give their women to my soldiers, and their cattle to those who come with us, and then together we can hold this city. "

Zhu Di said.

At this moment, the guards had raised their spears.

Tuotuo lost his eyes and looked at the old ministers in front of him, although they have served many people as former ministers...

"kill!"

he shouted.

The next moment his cavalrymen and Zhu Di's guards picked up their spears at the same time, and charged at the elders, wealthy merchants, and serf owners who had already started to flee.

Tutuo Lost is still very sober.

As Zhu Di said, it is impossible for these guys to work together with him if they keep them.

In fact, if the situation is unfavorable, they will betray him without hesitation, and it's not like they haven't betrayed him before.

What's more important is that there is limited food in the city, and there will be more than 5 people to eat at once, which may not be enough in the next long winter, so we must kill a wave first, and of course those who want to kill are those who can't really work together with themselves of.Killing them, including their clansmen, can not only stabilize the internal affairs, but also ensure food, and also gain the loyalty of the bottom population, and also search for their women as Zhu Di's reward, which can be said to be a perfect choice.

"This can be regarded as the sky street of the Golden Horde has been exhausted!"

Zhu Di looked at those guys who ran away in panic among the cavalry, and then were knocked over one by one and trampled under the hooves of the horses.

"Kill, kill their whole family except the women, all those who betrayed me deserve to die."

Tutuo Lost shouted excitedly.

The massacre immediately spread throughout the city. Carnival-like soldiers rushed into mansions and cleaned them...

Of course, this was the order of the Golden Horde Khan to punish those who had betrayed him.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty also wanted to punish the three clans for such traitors. Of course, the Golden Horde Khan had no reason to be more merciful. All the men were killed, and all the women and children were not slaves, and then they were given to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.All their properties were also confiscated and then rewarded to their serfs, their houses and shops were rewarded to the loyal ministers of the Great Khan. This was a carnival of joy for all, except those who died, everyone was very happy.The massacre lasted for three days, and the population of Beergosarai dropped sharply again, making it look like Luoyang in the Wuhu era. Then Zhu Di immediately drove the serfs to build a wall around the city.

Because it is winter, digging the soil is difficult, but fortunately, houses can be demolished. Anyway, after the population has dropped sharply, there are too many houses.

There is also no need to actually pile up rammed earth.

Pile up those construction wastes this season, and then water them directly, the severe cold will make it as strong as a stone.

In this way, he quickly perfected Belgosarai's defense in a month.

Then Yedigai also brought an army of [-], and hurried back from Siberia in the severe cold of minus [-] degrees. He met the army assembled by Shadi Behan, and the [-] troops of the Golden Horde counterattacked Belgosarai. , and then these elites who were half-frozen in the ice and snow ran into Zhu Di's solid defense again. Although firearms were used as much as possible due to limited ammunition, even with bows and arrows, his guards were still invincible in sweeping Mobei.

Especially after killing those possible youngsters in the city and dividing their property, even the civilians in the city have already made concerted efforts.

Helpless, Ye Digai had no choice but to continue to collect cannon fodder from all over the place, letting them attack Zhu Di's defense in batches, and then turned into frozen corpses.

More importantly, their food was not as sufficient as Zhu Di's.

After all, they couldn't kill those subordinate city residents to ensure food like Zhu Di did. It wasn't that they didn't have such heartlessness, but that they would rebel.

And at the same time.

Beiping Prefecture.

"My lord, what's going on?"

In the newly built hall, Zhang Fu looked at Zhu Gaochi.

Not only him, Tan Yuan and other generals who did not follow Zhu Di were also there, and even the commanders of Beiting and Anxi also came. The former is Liu Zhen, and the latter is Ping An. Second only to Zhu Di in the Western Regions, he is a relatively mediocre but steady veteran who is suitable for construction.Zhang Fu and others were in charge of the placement of the guards who stayed behind in various places, that is, building fortresses in various places. Of course, Zhu Di’s attack on Chengji Tula did not need the whole army to go north. After marching into the river for the first time, a large number of elites had to be left to watch Timur.

The latter has gone west.

But instead of going to a decisive battle with Bayezid, Georgia, which had been conquered before, rebelled, and Timur had to solve Georgia first.

"Everyone, my father's last letter is that he has already marched westward with Tutuo lost allied forces, and conquered a place called Kazan. Since then, there has been no news. According to his letter, he will go south to march into Beer. It has been three months since the decisive battle between the Gosarai and the Golden Horde, the outcome is unknown, Gao Chi is worried about accidents, so he wants to mobilize the four towns to march west to meet them, what do you think?"

Zhu Gaochi said very simply.

He is the son of the world.

Zhu Di was his agent after his death.

"Your Majesty, it's cold winter, so you have to send troops rashly..."

Liu Zhen hesitated to speak.

This means that all four towns in the Western Regions will send troops.

And Zhu Di's western expedition was purely for the benefit of Yanfan himself, and had nothing to do with the court. Beiting and Anxi were soldiers of the court, but they were controlled by Zhu Di.

"Liu Dudu, if something happens to my father, all the towns in the Western Regions will be responsible for losing their vassals."

Zhu Gaochi said calmly.

Liu Zhen shut up instantly.

Indeed, the crime of losing the vassal state means a death penalty. Even if this matter is Zhu Di's death, his safety must be ensured.

"Don't worry about the cold winter. The soldiers and horses in the towns gathered for a month. Since the king is going south to Belgosarai, let's go west for at least three months. It will be spring by then, but there will be no supplies along the way. It doesn’t depend on the first battle. In fact, we will move forward step by step as nomads. Even if we gather tens of thousands of troops, we will not be able to maintain such a long march. There are many dry lands in the west. The shortest route is the Chu River to the Aral Sea and then to the Caspian Sea. But in the middle There are thousands of miles of desert, and a small amount of nomads may be ok. Tens of thousands of troops with more than [-] horses and camels have no grass to eat, unless they take a longer route to bypass the southern part of the vast sea, but that will take longer.

And a large amount of ammunition must be carried for a big battle.

Therefore, in the view of the last general, it is better to divide the troops into two groups, and take the same route as the king with nomadic cavalry all the way to Chengji Tula and then to Kazan.

Along the way, with [-] camel city troops, they walked westward along the Chu River to carry enough supplies. "

Zhang Fu said.

The key to their westward expedition lies in the hills of central Kazakhstan, which is a desert and semi-desert. Although the nomads are not affected, they are riding horses and driving cattle and sheep for a little bit of nomadism. The horses and camels passed by quickly, and there was simply not enough pasture to eat.This was not the case with Mongolia's Western Expedition. The eldest son had been nomadic in this area for many years before the Western Expedition, so he could only gather a small number of cavalry, carry enough supplies, and travel along the Chu River to the Aral Sea and then across the desert to the coast of the Caspian Sea.

It's easy to go to the Caspian Sea.

"In that case, according to General Zhang, on the north route, we will form a coalition army from various ministries of Oara to go north. On the south route, our second brother will lead [-] camel city cavalry to cross the Chu River. Gao Chi will lead other armies westward to Talas to guard the river. If we can gather another [-] camel city cavalry, the other [-] will be sent from the two towns of Beiting and Anxi."

Zhu Gaochi said immediately.

"The last will obey!"

Liu Zhen and the two said quickly.

There are currently seven guards in their two towns, and there are also [-] Gansu troops, which are garrisoned. After all, before all the guards are established, foreign soldiers are still indispensable.

In fact, there is no difference, Liu Zhen was originally Song Sheng's lieutenant general.
