Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 842 Siege of Turpan

We all know that the Ming army has broken seven guards in a row, the defenders on the Turpan city dare not let them enter the city for three days, and hastily sent someone to report to Hassan, and soon Hassan ran up the tower with slightly trembling legs.

He raised his binoculars and looked down the city. In fact, he could see clearly from the top of the city tower. Hassan was mainly worried that he would be dazzled. The three Yarkand Khanate cavalry clearly appeared in his binoculars.

There are more than one hundred thousand soldiers of Yarkand Khan, as their commander, it is impossible to know all of them. Hassan saw that they were covered in blood, their armor and faces were indeed Yarkand cavalrymen, and he also checked to see if there were ambushes behind them.

After seeing that everything was normal, Hassan ordered to open the city gate:

"Quickly, Kaesong let them in."

"Yes"

After Hassan spoke, the guards hurriedly opened the city gate.And Hassan walked down the wall quickly and waited for the three wounded soldiers to arrive.

After the three wounded soldiers entered the city, they saw the commander standing not far from the city gate. They hurriedly got off their horses, knelt down in front of Hassan, and cried bitterly:

"Your Excellency, all [-] brothers died in battle. General Maota was killed by the Ming army, and the three of us crawled out of the dead. The Ming army is coming to Turpan. Please be ready... ..."

"thump……"

When Hassan heard the news, he felt like a thunderbolt, his legs went limp and his buttocks slumped on the ground.

"How is it possible...it's impossible...how could more than 2 cavalry be wiped out in such a short period of time..."

"Lord Governor..."

Seeing Hassan slumped on the ground, his personal guard hurried forward to help him up. After a while, Hassan suddenly laughed:
"Nonsense, how could the entire army of more than 2 cavalry be wiped out? Wouldn't they run away? You have already joined the Ming army and are spies of the Ming army. Someone here will kill these three traitors..."

The three of them turned pale in shock when they heard this, and kowtowed to Hassan again and again:
"Governor, please spare me! What we said is true, the Ming army didn't even need swords and guns, they could kill people from a long distance..."

"Nonsense, drag it down and cut it!"

Hassan didn't give the three people a chance to explain, and immediately asked the three to be beheaded. The other soldiers didn't believe what they said, what and what!Isn't it a myth that cavalry can be killed without a knife or gun?

It's sad, the three finally climbed out of the dead to report the news, they thought it was a great achievement, but Hassan directly silenced them.

In fact, Hassan didn't want to kill them, but what they said was too exaggerated. Once it spread to the ears of other soldiers, it would definitely cause the army's morale to be unstable, so no matter what they said was true or not, Hassan would kill them. silence.

After killing the three, Hassan immediately issued an order:
"Come here, pass on the governor's order, the four defensive forces will be doubled, and the other troops will be ready to meet the Ming army. If they can repel the Ming army's attack, there will be a big reward."

Turpan is not only an important gateway of the Western Regions, but also an important town on the Chinese Silk Road, and the only way for China to the Western Regions. If the Ming army wants to break through the hinterland of the Yarkand Khanate, Turpan must be captured.

Regarding this point, not only Li Yan and Zhu Cihong are very clear, but as the coach of the Yarkand Khanate, how can Hassan not know.

In order to defend Turpan, he brought all the main force of the Yarkand Khanate. He thought that even if the seven guards could not stop the Ming army, it would cause great damage to the Ming army. When the tired division of the Ming army arrived in Turpan, they waited for work with leisure Massively send troops to wipe them out.

But now the situation is completely opposite to what he had imagined. The Ming army fought all the way to Turpan, and even the cavalry he sent to ambush were wiped out. If this continues, the country will probably be destroyed.

Hassan felt regretful in his heart!At that time, they were also young and frivolous, and they didn't take Daming seriously. They always thought that they were invincible in the Western Regions. Now thinking about it, it's really not worth it for a princess of Daming.

If he was asked to choose again now, Hassan would rather be Daming's grandson or a dog, and he would not choose to marry the princess of Daming and go to the Western Regions.

At that time, he still wanted to challenge Daming's bottom line, why not get married, I want to marry your princess, and let him Hassan become the first foreign son-in-law in the history of Daming.

But it is meaningless to say anything now. With Daming's current strength, you probably won't accept your surrender even if you kill the envoy.

There is no way, is there anyone who sells regret medicine in the world, the only thing Hassan can do now is to strengthen the defense and take advantage of the harsh geographical environment to fight the Ming army.

The whole night was safe and sound, Hassan did not receive any news of the arrival of the Ming army, but he was sleepless all night, and he was not in the mood to play with the two big Mongolian girls. Seeing that the sky was already bright, Hassan just wanted to fall asleep in a daze , suddenly there was a knock on the door:
"Your Excellency, the big thing... The big thing is not good, we are tightly surrounded by the Ming army..."

"thump……"

Hassan was taken aback and got up from the bed, but fell off the bed without standing still. Two Mongolian girls hurriedly stood up and helped him up. Hassan felt as if he was dreaming, so he hurriedly asked:
"Nimma, what are you talking about, say it again..."

The subordinate hastily repeated:
"Governor, Turpan City has been surrounded by the Ming army, you should go and see it!"

"Hurry up... prepare your horse and go to the city..."

Hassan hurriedly dressed and went out. The horse was already ready outside the door. He wanted to fly on the horse, but he fell off the horse because his legs were weak. Several personal guards rushed forward to help him onto the horse.

They got on their horses and galloped all the way. When they climbed to the top of the city, they found that Turpan was tightly surrounded by the Ming army, and the Ming dragon flag was flying high everywhere. Hassan almost fainted when his eyes went dark, and he was slapped by the city guard general:

"Trash, why didn't you report it earlier?"

The city lord will hastily bowed his head and replied:

"Your Excellency, we didn't notice the arrival of the Ming army at night, and we only found them at dawn..."

Hassan stared fiercely at the city lord general, and then issued an order:

"Come here, pass on the governor's order to prepare more bows and arrows, rolling logs and stones, etc., the more the better. The Ming army must not be allowed to climb the city wall."

"Yes"

Bundles of arrows on the city had been prepared long ago, rolling logs and stones were piled high, and many soldiers were even boiling water and tung oil. These were gifts prepared for the attacking Ming army.

But Hassan was still worried that it would not be enough, so he ordered his subordinates to make more preparations.

Hassan grabbed the binoculars and looked at the camp of the Ming army. He wanted to see what weapons the Ming army would use, but the soldiers who appeared in the binoculars surprised Hassan:
"Nimma, is this the Ming army? They don't even wear battle armor. What kind of clothes are they wearing?"

In Hassan's impression, the Ming army was wearing traditional battle armor, but now the Ming army that appeared in front of his eyes were all wearing strange clothes, and there was no armor at all.
