My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 672 Ulugh Beg is captured
Chang Wei also knew that the Qingshui River was ahead, and he was worried that he would not be able to pursue Ulugh Bo and others after they escaped across the Qingshui River.

It happened to be a favorable wind at this time, so he ordered the hot air balloon behind him to take off, not to pursue Ulugh Beg and others, but to attract the opponent's attention, preferably to interfere with the opponent's crossing of the river, so as to win the pursuit for them. time.

Chang Wei's method was still very effective. When they saw the hot air balloon flying in the sky, Ulugh Beg, Besunhu and others were all dumbfounded. They even forgot to urge their horses to cross the river. They all stood there with their backs on their backs. He turned his head and stared blankly at the hot air balloon getting closer and closer, speechless.

Until the hot air balloon flew above Ulugh Beg and others, suddenly several black spots were thrown from it. As the black spots got closer and closer, it finally fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered into pieces, with a fire splashing everywhere.

The soldiers who were nearby were splashed by sparks, and they immediately screamed and started beating. This finally woke up Ulugh Beg and others, but they didn't know what to do when faced with the huge strange ball flying above their heads. ?
At this moment, some more black dots were dropped from other hot air balloons. This time they were no longer fire bottles, but grenades. Some of the grenades exploded while some were still in mid-air. There was a "boom" and fragments were scattered everywhere.

There were some unlucky ones below who had just been shot by fragments, and immediately screamed in pain. Some horses were frightened and raised their front hooves, and began to run around uncontrollably.

"Shoot...shoot an arrow! Shoot down the strange ball from the sky!"

Beisunhu finally reacted and shouted loudly.

So some archers bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot at the hot-air balloons in the sky. However, the arrows fell weakly after flying into the air, and could not hit the hot-air balloons floating in the sky at all.

At this time, more hot air balloons flew over Ulug Beg and others, and more fire bottles and grenades were thrown down. For a time, the army was full of fire and explosions, causing Ulug Bet's army to fall into chaos. among.

The horses were neighing, the wounded were screaming, and more people were fleeing in all directions. Some even started to run back, just to stay away from the hot air balloon above their heads.

Ulugh Beg and Besun Hu were also running away, because the attack from the hot air balloon came from the sky. No matter how many guards they had around them, it was useless. On the contrary, because there were too many guards, they attracted more fire bottles and grenades, so they were surrounded by more fire bottles and grenades. Danger.

Among them, Ulugh Beg was more unlucky. He had just escaped a few steps when suddenly a grenade fell on his right side. He heard a loud "boom" and felt a strong surge from his right side, which suddenly knocked him away. It was lifted immediately.

Ulugh Beg only felt dizzy, and even fell to the ground without feeling any pain, because his whole body was numb. It was not until he rolled on the ground a few times and stopped that he slowly felt severe pain all over his body, and his bones felt like It looked like everything was broken, and I couldn't use any strength at all.

What's even worse is that he is surrounded by horses running wildly. If any horse steps on his head with a hoof, he will definitely die miserably.

Fortunately, Ulugh Beg's bodyguard noticed that he had fallen off his horse, and quickly rushed over and snatched him out from between the horses' hooves.

But at this time Ulugh Beg found that his right leg was in severe pain. I wonder if the bone was broken?In addition, there is a dull pain in the chest, and the injury is probably serious.

The personal guards carried Ulugh Beg and fled far away, and then escaped the range of the hot air balloon attack. At this time, Besun suddenly did not know where he had fled. The five thousand remaining soldiers under their command were defeated, and they were even more confused. And scattered.

In fact, there are not many hot air balloons in the sky, only twenty or thirty at most. Even if these hot air balloons are filled with fire bottles and grenades, they cannot hurt many people.

But the fear brought by the hot air balloon was too terrible, and the defeated generals were frightened out of their wits, so they ran away regardless, including Ulugh Beg and Besunhu.

At this time, the hot air balloon had drifted far away with the wind and could no longer launch an effective attack. The frightened Besunhu suddenly remembered to look for Ulugh Beg, but when he found him, he found that his whole body was covered with wounds, and now even his horse Can't even ride.

To make matters worse, his men fled in all directions. The 5000 people who had finally gathered together before now dispersed again. "Third brother, hurry up. The Han army can fly over, which means they are nearby and may kill them at any time!"

At this time, Ulugh Beg endured the severe pain in his body and suddenly reminded Besun.

"Take big brother and let's go together!"

Beisun suddenly woke up after hearing the words and immediately ordered.

However, Ulugh Beg was seriously injured. The guards tried to lift him onto the horse, but the pain made him scream repeatedly. However, if he did not get on the horse, he would not be able to move fast just by people carrying him.

"Third brother, let's divide our troops into two groups. You lead a small group of guards and leave first. I'll cut off the rear for you!"

Ulugh Bet immediately made a decision and shouted to Besunhu again.

He knew very well that with his injuries, he couldn't escape far at all. In this case, he might as well sacrifice himself to buy Besunhu time to escape. The reason why he left most of the guards to himself was to confuse the Han army and make them think Your own side is more important.

"Brother, you..."

Just as Beisun was about to say something, he saw a thunderous sound of horse hooves coming from the distance. Apparently, the Han army's pursuers from behind had finally arrived.

"Come on, we don't have time for mother-in-law and mother-in-law!"

Ulugh Bo urged loudly that it would be better for him to fall into the hands of a big man alone than for both brothers to fall into the hands of a big man.

Beisun suddenly knew that now was not the time to be indecisive, so he gritted his teeth, turned around, mounted his horse, and then galloped away with the guards around him.

Ulugh Beg ordered most of the guards left behind to escort him towards the Qingshui River, and he deliberately ran slowly so that the Han army could find their traces.

Sure enough, the pursuers at the rear quickly discovered the people around Ulugh Beg, and immediately two cavalrymen rushed over, like two crab claws, blocking their way and surrounding them.

Faced with so many Han troops, Ulugh Bo did not let his men make unnecessary sacrifices. He directly showed his identity and expressed his willingness to surrender, but asked the Han to give him the treatment he deserved.

Although they were enemies, Ulugh Beg was the eldest son of the Sultan after all, equivalent to the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, although there was a war between the Han Dynasty and the Timurid Empire, it did not come to the point of life and death. Therefore, there was no need to execute the captured nobles. Instead, they could Negotiate for greater benefits.

Therefore, when Chang Wei, the leader of the army, learned that the opponent was Ulugh Beg, he laughed three times with joy. Then he came to see the opponent in person and ensured the opponent's safety. Then he had Ulugh Beg sent to Peshawar in a carriage. The city was left to Zhu Gaoxu to handle it personally.

Then Chang Wei took advantage of the victory and pursued him, hoping to catch Bei Sunhu, but unfortunately, they crossed the Qingshui River and chased him for dozens of miles, but there was no trace of Bei Sunhu. Apparently, he let the other party escape.
