At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 568 Tactics
Belin pondered for a while, and immediately gave a new idea.

"Brother Zhang, is that Ankelu trustworthy?"

"So far, no flaws have been found."

"If this person is available, things will be easier to handle!"

"Brother Bei, don't be fooled, talk about it quickly!"

Belin picked up a branch and drew a rough shape on the ground.

"This is Tabriz, the main city of Aries. We are roughly at this location now. According to the original route, we will arrive in three days. However, we are here for a sneak attack. The biggest problem is that we may encounter people on the way. The Aries army, if their whereabouts are exposed in advance, they can only return in vain, so we go out day and night, and the marching speed is relatively slow."

"If Ankelu is willing to join forces, things will be easier!"

"Didn't he have 5000 people in his hands? All of them were called up to rebel."

Zhang Mao couldn't help but asked: "He only has 5000 people in his hands. Isn't rebellion the same as courting death?"

Belin said: "To achieve this effect, the momentum must be large, and the upper echelons of the Aries Kingdom must know that I rebelled, and I only have 5000 people in my hand. Come and beat me!"

Zhang Mao seemed to have pondered over the situation, and said: "Talk the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Almost, not quite!"

Bellin tapped on the ground with a branch in her hand, and said: "The Aries Kingdom will never allow the rebellion to happen, and the army must be mobilized immediately to counter the rebellion. We will sneak into the city of Tabriz in the chaos, and wait for the army to gather and give him Come have a pot!"

The expression on Zhang Mao's face was very complicated, both worried and excited.

What worries me is that with just a few hundred people, you want to take away the Aries Kingdom directly?

What is exciting is that with just a few hundred people, there is a real hope that the Aries Kingdom will be taken away!

Damn, it's so exciting!
In the early morning of the next day, Ankelu came to the camp, and when he heard that he was allowed to openly rebel, he shook his hands in fright.

Zhang Maoshi was very dissatisfied, and said: "Do you still want to save your General Emil?"

"Of course the general wants to save him, but...it's too risky!"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son!"

Alejandro, who was in charge of the translation, was a little confused and asked, "General, do you like tigers?"

"Damn it, it's not a tiger, it's a metaphor, it's a metaphor!"

"What metaphor?"

"It's, it's..."

Belin took over the conversation and said: "It means that if you want to be successful, you have to pay a price. If you don't want to take risks, you can just put down the swords and guns in your hands and go home to farm!"

Alejandro translated the words, and Ankelu suddenly became anxious, and said: "We are not cowards, but we just don't want to die in vain. Such a way of dying is meaningless!"

"Who told you to go to die?"

"However, we only have 5000 people. Now that we are rebelling, aren't we going to die?"

"You just shout slogans, and don't worry about the rest."

"What's the use of shouting slogans?"

"I've told you too much, and you can't understand it. In short, just do what General Zhang said. If you are worried, take a step back and say, if there is a day when the army is overwhelming, you can run, run Going to Tehran, or going west into Ottoman, my Ming Dynasty will accept it.”

Ankruth thought about it and said, "Are you really sure to rescue General Emil?"

Bellin shook her head and said, "Not sure."

"I'm not sure what's the use of saying this?"

An Kelu jumped up in a hurry, how dare you play tricks on me?
Belin waved at him and said, "We are only responsible for destroying the main force of Aries, and you have to do the rest by yourself."

"What did you say?"

"As long as you kill the main force of Aries, whether you want to save people or kill people, you can do it yourself!"

"I mean, where is your army? You can't just rely on a few hundred people to confront the main force of Aries, right? You must know that near the city of Tabriz, it can be assembled in just a few days." More than [-] troops!"

"The more the better, don't be afraid of too much!"

"What do you mean?"

"You take 500 people and go straight to Tabriz with us, and the others stay and start rebelling."

Ankelu's face was full of question marks, what's the use of 500 people, even if 5000 people are killed, they will still be defeated.

Zhang Mao said impatiently: "Do you still want to save people? If you don't save them, we will leave today. You should think carefully!"

"not me……"

Ankelu is very helpless, are you all so reckless in fighting wars in Ming Dynasty?
With such a small number of people, just kill them?

Beilen said: "Soldiers are more expensive than good ones. Why are there no black sheep? I think you should have heard about it?"

Ankelu suddenly realized that the Black Sheep was the first to invade Tehran on its own initiative, and now it is gone.

At the beginning, the black sheep, white sheep, and Timur's three-way army pressed the border, and finally retreated in desperation, which shows that their combat effectiveness far exceeded my imagination. It is not impossible for hundreds of people to raid Tabriz.

"Okay, I'm done!"

Zhang Mao finally showed a smile on his face, patted Ankelu on the shoulder, and said, "That's right!"

The next day, Ankelu led people to attack the local officials, opened warehouses to release grain, and provided relief to the people.

This move immediately caused an uproar, and the news spread to Tabriz, and King Uzon Hesai immediately ordered to suppress the rebellion.

Aries has signed a new covenant with Timur, and at this juncture, he will never allow such a thing to happen.

The army quickly assembled and rushed to Tabriz City from all directions.

In such an environment, it became commonplace for troops to appear on the road, and it seemed strange that there were no troops.

Therefore, the 200 cavalry brought by Zhang Mao from Constantinople, the 1000 cavalry brought by Beilene from Tehran, and the [-] elites selected by Ankru, for a total of [-] and [-] cavalry, also sent to Tabriz gallop away.

All the Ming soldiers put on Aries clothes, and it was hard to see the difference unless you looked carefully.

Even when you meet other troops on the road, you can chat with them for a few words.

Three days later, the team arrived near the city of Tabriz and hid in the dark.

Ankeru was familiar with the local area, so he found a relatively remote jungle, about two miles away from Tabriz City.

Belin looked around, nodded and said: "It's not bad here, it's all shrubs, and it won't affect the takeoff."

Ankru pulled Alessandro and asked, "What do you mean?"

Alejandro quoted the original words, and Ankru was even more confused: "Take off, who wants to take off?"

Zhang Mao stepped forward and said, "Ankelu, you lead people to guard the outside."

Ankelu asked: "Aren't you going to rescue General Emil?"

"Not yet."

"how long it takes?"

"Don't worry, it will be soon!"

An Kelu was full of questions, but found that he didn't know where to start.

The various behaviors of the Orientals are so strange that it is completely confusing.

So far, be on the alert.

It's all here, what else?

According to the cordon drawn by Zhang Mao, Ankelu divided the people into [-] groups. Each group was in charge of a small area, and they could respond to each other. Anywhere where the enemy was found, the information could be passed on in time.

"Colonel Ankru, look!"

Ankelu raised his head and was stunned.

In the night sky, a lighted lamp slowly rises, and then floats in the air with the wind.

Immediately afterwards, one more, two, three...

These lights are really too big, and vaguely, there is a figure inside.

An Kelu thought he was dreaming, so he reached out and patted his cheek, closed his eyes, and opened them again...

It's not a dream, it's just a big lamp, big enough to hold a person.

"You stay here, I'll go and see!"

Ankelu couldn't bear it anymore, and hurried to the center of the camp.

I saw a thick rope looped around the bushes, and at the end of the rope was the big lamp I saw just now, floating in the air like a kite.

At this time, most people were busy, but Alejandro was watching the fun, so Ankelu stepped forward and asked, "What is this?"

Alejandro said: "It's Daming's new weapon, called Kongming Lantern."

"Kongming Lantern... what is it?"

"I don't know either, anyway, it's just amazing."

An Kelu couldn't help asking, "How do you know it's amazing?"

Alessandro gave him a blank look and said, "Do you know Constantinople?"

"Of course I know, the holy city in the Mediterranean is invincible!"

"How do you think Tabriz City compares to Constantinople?"

"That's incomparable, the gap is too big."

Alessandro said indifferently: "Constantinople was breached by this weapon!"

After Ankelu finished listening, he didn't speak any more, but the shock on his face almost overflowed.

After about half an hour, the four Kongming lanterns slowly descended.

Belin immediately summoned people to the front to conduct pre-war research on the four data sets.

When Ankelu saw the recorder walking out of the Kongming lantern, he was in a bad mood.

This thing is really loaded with people!

I thought I heard it wrong just now, but it turns out that people really can fly!
"The wind direction is stable, the wind is too strong, and it is not easy to control. I don't know if it will come down in the second half of the night."

"I think the altitude is still not enough. If cluster bombs are used, the flight altitude can be increased, and the wind direction and force will definitely change."

"No matter how high it is, there is danger. Moreover, the rope has reached its limit and cannot be lowered."

"Two of them can be used together. In short, we must obtain the parameters suitable for throwing cluster bombs."

Hearing everyone's discussion, Belin thought for a long time, and then said: "From now on, we will make two out of four ropes and put two high-altitude observation posts up. This is our first attempt at this height. Everyone, please be prepared... ..."

"I go!"

"I go!"

Before the words fell, someone was already scrambling to go to the sky.

The others lost the opportunity and were embarrassed to grab it again.

Belin nodded and said: "After the two of you go up, you should pay attention to your physical condition at all times. If you find anything wrong, send a signal immediately."

Everyone got ready again, and at midnight, the two observation lights were released again, pulled by two extended ropes, and slowly flew into the night sky.

Ankelu stared dumbfounded at the whole process of taking off, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that fortunately he did not stand on the opposite side of the Orientals, otherwise, he would have died without knowing how.

The two lights flew farther and farther away, leaving only two small dots, like stars in the sky.

The Ming army was no stranger to the strangeness, but the Aries people knelt down and prayed as if they had seen a true god.

Belin looked at the hourglass. After the two lights were lifted into the air, they only stayed for a quarter of an hour before ordering someone to take them back.

Because the flight was too high, it took a lot of effort to pull the rope back, and finally, the two lights landed again.

"Big, big, big... my lord..."

In the bamboo basket, the recorder came down tremblingly and took out a piece of paper.

In the bamboo basket of another lamp, the condition of the recorder was similar. He was trembling all over, with runny nose and tears, and white ice crystals formed on his eyebrows, which were slowly melting after being baked by the fire.

Belin was worried about flying too high and the temperature would drop suddenly, so she only stayed for a quarter of an hour.

It seemed that this decision was really wise. If it was later, the two of them would be disabled even if they didn't freeze to death.

According to the records of the two, the wind direction and wind strength at midnight were very stable and suitable for bombing.

To be on the safe side, observation lights are released every hour on the ground, and cotton clothes and quilts are equipped.

Ankelu asked in a low voice, "When will the attack start?"

Alejandro replied: "Don't worry, the wind direction may change at any time, at least we have to observe it for one night."

"If you wait any longer, General Amir will die."

"It's useless for you to be anxious, this is already the fastest way."

Zhang Mao came over and said: "Tomorrow, you send some people to sneak into the city to find out the news in the city, and there is the emir, where he is being held, you must find out in advance, and then you will take people to rescue him." , don't get lost!"

Alejandro translated and conveyed the truth, and Ankru nodded repeatedly.

On the second day, the two teams put on civilian clothes and entered the city from the north and the south. When night fell, they managed to get out again.

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses have been gathered in Tabriz City, mainly stationed in the Dajiaochang area in the south of the city. King Wuzong Hesai said that the rebellion in the south was instigated by General Amir. At noon tomorrow, they will be killed." General, give the rebels a warning."

An Kelu was in a hurry, pulled Zhang Mao and said, "You promised me, you must rescue General Emil!"

"I didn't say no to help!"

Zhang Mao pushed him away and said, "Listen to my brother, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Ankelu came to Belin again and said, "Please, we don't have time!"

Belin didn't think so and said, "Didn't you say you won't do it until noon tomorrow? What are you in a hurry for?"

An Kelu was speechless, isn't it urgent enough tomorrow at noon?

Belin continued: "Call your troops and act tonight!"

Ankelu was overjoyed and asked, "Do you want to do it tonight?"

"Didn't you keep urging?"

"Yes, but..."

"Okay, don't let it go!"

Belin waved her hand and said, "Gather your men and horses now, and sneak out of the city at night, wait for us to launch an air strike, and then you are willing to save people or kill people, it's up to you."

Ankelu quickly saluted and said, "Follow the order!"
