The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 577 News of Heavy Losses

Upon hearing this, they frowned deeply. It seemed that this was the only way. They sighed deeply.

Who could have imagined that the Ming army would suddenly attack at this moment? But at this very moment, their prince, Sutri Damer, had just been provoked by Istanbul Shuri Damer and Ankhtan Shuri Damer, and was in a state of anger, so he directly sent troops and suffered heavy losses.

Now they can only station their troops at the border and try to hold out until other armies come to their aid. Soon, news of their crushing defeat has reached their homeland.

When the emperor of the Delhi Sultanate learned of this news, he was filled with disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"Say it again, the army at the front has been defeated!"

"How is this possible? We have deployed so many troops at the front. Although the Ming army at the front also has a considerable number of troops, their numbers are about the same as ours. How could we have suffered such a crushing defeat!"

"Suritri Damur is a complete waste; how could he lose with such a large army!"

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. At this moment, they didn't know what to say, after all, they had indeed suffered a terrible defeat in this battle.

After a long while, the Emperor of the Delhi Sultanate took a deep breath and looked at Istanbul Shridamir and Ankhtan Shridamir and spoke.

"Given the current situation at the front, there probably aren't many troops left. Why don't you two send a portion of your troops to help Su Tridamer?"

Upon hearing this, both Istanbul Shridamer and Ankhtan Shridamer felt somewhat displeased.

The two men had finally acquired a portion of military power, and before they could even enjoy it, with many of the soldiers not yet under their command, they were now being asked to relinquish it. Naturally, they were extremely unwilling.

They said this with a smirk.

"Father!"

"Although our troops have suffered heavy losses at the front, the city we are defending is very strong, and troops from all over the country have already arrived and should be here soon. So the defense of this place should not be a big problem!"

"But at this moment, the most important thing is still the capital!"

"If anything were to happen to the capital, it would be the most terrible thing for our Delhi Sultanate, so we absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to you!"

The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Upon thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. It was because everyone had left that their capital was left with few troops for defense.

Therefore, Lan Yu's sneak attack went very smoothly.

If the enemy were to launch another surprise attack at this moment, their losses would be enormous. Thinking of this place, he felt a surge of panic, after all, the trauma he had suffered back then was too great.

After thinking of this place, he quickly nodded and said.

"You're right. The capital is the most important place right now. We can abandon the rest and have all the troops from other places gather here. As long as we can ensure that the capital doesn't fall, there won't be any other problems!"

At this moment, he was very satisfied with his two sons.

As expected, his two sons cared about him the most. If he had given them more military power, they wouldn't have been able to protect him from Lan Yu's sneak attack. Istanbul Shuridamer breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; at least he didn't need to transfer that army out.

Their army still has many uses, and if it were transferred out now, who knows what might happen.

Therefore, he did not agree to this matter, and instead sent his son, Sogristdamer, to raise troops elsewhere. Sogristdamer was extremely dissatisfied after learning of this news.

It's one thing for him to be risking his life on the front lines while his brothers enjoy themselves in the palace, but it's another for them not to even relinquish their military power.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. After thinking about this place, he snorted coldly.

His eyes were full of anger.

"These guys are all cunning; do they really think I wouldn't dare attack the palace?"

At this moment, he gritted his teeth, as if he were about to lead his troops to attack the palace at any moment. He had suffered far too much humiliation that day.

Those nearby heard this and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Please, Your Highness, do not be anxious. If we lose our composure now, wouldn't we be letting the Ming people reap the benefits?"

"We can only have power because the Delhi Sultanate exists. If the Delhi Sultanate is destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid our days are numbered!"

Upon hearing this, Su Tridamer took a deep breath.

"But we don't have many troops, and they are unwilling to hand them over. What should we do next?"

After some consideration, Sogdiana sighed.

"If all else fails, we should recruit soldiers from other places, and try our best to gather all the troops from other cities!"

"We must defend this city!"

At this time, Zhu Xiong Ying had already retreated with his troops. After the retreat, his generals all looked puzzled.

"What kind of person is His Highness the Crown Prince? Why did he charge out head-on like that? What exactly happened?"

The others were also very curious after hearing this. If the enemy was strong enough, they might take the initiative to attack. But they clearly had the advantage, and the enemy was so weak, yet they still launched an attack on them. This was something they couldn't understand.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and shook her head.

"It's actually very simple. The men I sent out just now received news that Sutridamer has returned to the palace. He will definitely be furious when he comes back. Now that we have taken the initiative to provoke him, he will definitely not tolerate it, so he will take the initiative to attack!"

Upon hearing this, the group was filled with doubt, wondering how it had been accomplished. Then Zhu Xiong Ying explained everything he had done, and everyone suddenly understood.

It turns out that after Zhu Xiong Ying released Istanbul Shuridamur and Ankhtan Shuridamur, he also planted some people around them. Of course, these people did not follow them, but entered the city in secret and secretly infiltrated the palace.
