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

Chapter 596 Li Wenzhong Makes a Move

After hearing this, the man lowered his head and stammered, unable to say a word.

He couldn't think of a better way now, so it seemed that this was the only option.

Soon the news reached the Delhi Sultanate. The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate was extremely shocked when he heard the news. The ministers in the court did not know what had happened. At this moment, the emperor of the Delhi Sultanate sighed and said...

"News has just arrived from the front lines that the Timurid Empire has transferred its Kipchak cavalry from the north to deal with Zhu Xiong Ying of the Ming Dynasty!"

The group was shocked to hear this. They knew very well the fighting strength of the Kipchak cavalry, and they never expected that the Kipchak cavalry would be so crazy as to bring them along.

At this moment, Istanbul Shuridamer hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I can't believe they'd resort to such a method. But it's not a good one; it's like killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own!"

"These Kipchak cavalrymen were already uncontrollable; they were ruthless not only to the enemy but also to their own people when they fought!"

"Moreover, they are extremely adept at plundering the tribes under their control. I'm afraid the tribes of the Timurid Empire are in for a terrible time!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor of Timur nodded, then smiled and said something as if he had just thought of something.

"However, this isn't without its advantages. This army's fighting power is terrifying as they march south; it'll give that guy named Zhu Xiong Ying a real headache!"

"As long as their attention is entirely focused on the north, Zhu Xiong Ying will no longer lead his troops south!"

"Then we'll be able to hold out!"

Istanbulshuridamer paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said...

You're absolutely right!

At this moment, he suddenly thought of his two troublesome younger brothers and felt a headache coming on. One of them was in the north and the other in the south. The key point was that both of them used to hold important military power.

At least my second brother obeys my orders.

But ever since he took control of the military in the south, he has completely ignored what was happening on his side.

The front lines of the Timurid Empire.

Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong led his generals to fight on the grasslands.

Their main force was in this area, which meant that their opponents were also main forces. This meant that there were not many fancy moves on the front line; it was all about head-on cavalry battles.

Looking at the generals under his command, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong sighed. Indeed, the Timurid Empire's cavalry was quite formidable. If he hadn't recruited them...

The various tribes along the way, along with those brave generals, might not be able to hold onto this place.

Of course, it wasn't without its benefits. This period of fighting provided valuable experience for generals like Li Jinglong and Xu Zengshou. They became adept at commanding ordinary battles.

Moreover, they rarely make big mistakes, which is a very rare thing for them.

At this time, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong learned that Zhu Xiong Ying had won another battle in the south. He felt very bad, as he had been managing this place for so long.

However, during this period, the focus was mainly on defense, and there weren't many opportunities to attack, which made him a little anxious. Thinking of this, he looked at the group of soldiers around him and said.

"Brothers, the reason we've been on the defensive all this time is because our rear isn't very secure!"

"Now all the countries in the Western Regions have submitted to us, and have even sent a considerable number of troops to fight alongside us!"

"Our troops have also adapted to the cavalry's fighting style, which is a good opportunity for us. Troops from all over the country have gathered in this place, and I believe that the final battle will begin soon!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this, their eyes filled with excitement. This was definitely good news for them.

Cavalry battles are all about raw strength, and during this time they have adapted to this type of warfare. This has given every soldier in the Ming army, from centurions up, considerable training, and now they can be considered an elite force.

On the contrary, the Timurid Empire's army had almost exhausted its veteran soldiers, and most of the troops on the front lines were newly recruited soldiers who had not experienced much combat and were much weaker than the previous troops.

With their forces shifting in strength, they were absolutely confident that they could defeat the Timurid Empire's army before them.

When they learned that the final battle was about to begin, the generals were all very excited. During this time, they had heard a lot about other things, whether it was the navy's victory or the victories of Lan Yu and Zhu Xiong Ying. They were stuck in this place, and there had been no news for a while. They were very anxious. However, the orders given to Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong were to hold this place for the time being, to focus on defense, until their rear was completely digested. Now that this place had been almost digested, it was indeed a good opportunity for them. Attacking now would be twice as effective with half the effort.

At this moment, the generals spoke excitedly.

"Great! We can finally launch a counterattack! We've been so anxious lately, we've been on the defensive the whole time!"

"If this continues, we might all become depressed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Seeing that these future generations all looked eager to try, Duke Li Wenzhong of Cao State nodded in satisfaction. "After such a long period of training and several battles, big and small, everyone in the box has gained a lot of experience. In that case, in this battle, you will use everything you have learned. Victory is the only option, and defeat is not an option."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, their eyes filled with excitement.

The day of the decisive battle arrived quickly, and the Ming army suddenly launched a surprise attack on several camps of the Timurid Empire.

Inside the Timurid Empire's camp, these soldiers had been on the defensive, but they hadn't anticipated that the Ming Dynasty would suddenly launch a general offensive. The two armies were clashing on the grasslands.

Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, with his strategic planning, directly commanded the various armies from the central command post, leading them to attack in turn.

Several young men, each leading a contingent of soldiers, were fighting on the grassland. These men were Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and others brought by Zhu Xiong Ying, along with Li Jinglong, Ping An, Qiu Fu, Xu Zengshou, and other generals.
