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

Chapter 574 Attack on Tehran

Balu Huo Zha never returned, Timur Khan Abu Saizah waited and waited, and finally waited for the news, he was detained.

"Too much bullying, send troops, I want to crush Tehran!"

When the news came back to Herat City, Abu Saiza was in a bad mood.

Daming's actions are really outrageous, so the two countries agreed to go to war, so why not kill them?

What about the state of etiquette?

Why?
We are living a good life here, but you suddenly ran over and wiped out Osman.

Okay, you kill Ottoman, I admit it!
Anyway, Osman and I are deadly enemies, and now it's nothing more than a new neighbor. Even if we don't get along well, the original one is not so bad, there is no difference.

In the end, you were not satisfied with taking Ottoman, you took down the black sheep and the white sheep successively, and now you still ask me to give up the Western Regions?
Are you kidding me?
Most of my Helat is in the Western Regions, I gave it to you, where do I live?

There is no law of the king in this world?
To say that this negotiation is not completely ineffective, at least in the territory of the Timur Khanate, the speed of troop deployment has greatly increased.

All the soldiers and horses from all over the country gathered together and marched towards Helat in a steady stream, and they were bound to fight the Ming army to the death.

In just one month, 20 soldiers and 30 civilians have gathered outside Herat City. According to this speed, within three months, 80 troops can be mobilized.

Abu Saizah has already spent all his money, because he not only wants to flatten Tehran, but also takes the opportunity to recover the lost territory of the black sheep and the white sheep, and then invade the Ottoman territory in one fell swoop.

Back then, when the Ottomans attacked East Rome, Absaiza had the idea of ​​getting a share.

However, at that time, he had to deal with some surrounding forces and could not divide his forces. In the end, he took down the Sultan of Delhi in the southeast and the remnants of Chagatai in the northeast. Compared with Osman's record, it is not much better.

The Timur Khanate claimed to be the heir to the Mongol Empire, and its cavalry fought around all the year round, reminiscent of the style of Genghis Khan's Western Expeditions, but now they are assembled on a large scale, and the scene is spectacular.

The Minister of Military Affairs, Muhalda, came to report: "Great Khan, report on the horse, the Ming army stationed in Constantinople has already moved to Tehran."

Abu Saiza asked, "How many people?"

"About 5 people, however, mostly former Ottoman troops."

Abu Saiza sneered, "The emperor of Ming is treacherous and cunning, so he enlisted the Ottomans to take the lead in order to reduce the casualties of the main force."

"Khan, how do you know?"

"Nonsense, we've always been like this!"

Muhalda: ...

Abu Saiza continued: "Their numbers are at an absolute disadvantage. Even if the Ottomans are brought in to lead the battle, it will not change the outcome of this war."

Muhalda nodded and said: "The Khan is right. Twenty thousand households in the central region have arrived in Herat, and the frontier troops are also on their way. Our number is more than ten times that of the other side, and Tehran will be razed to the ground. .”

"Tehran is just the beginning. Next, we will divide our forces to attack the Black Sheep and White Sheep territories. The Chinese army will go west all the way to Constantinople!"
-
In Tehran, Zhu Qiyu has arrived.

"Brother Emperor, my younger brother has brought all the troops stationed in Constantinople, a total of [-]."

After all, it has only been a few months since Ming captured Ottoman, so it is impossible to mobilize troops from all places, otherwise, even unified management will become a problem.

More importantly, now that we have entered the age of firearms, soldiers are more expensive than good, and the tactic of relying on numbers to pass has already withdrawn from the stage of history.

Zhu Qizhen unfolded the map and asked: "I have sent the news back, but Timur traversed the middle and couldn't communicate in real time. The two sides can only fight on their own, and it is difficult to form a cooperation."

Zhu Qiyu persuaded: "Brother, don't worry, my Ming Dynasty has many capable ministers and strong generals. I haven't lost a single one in recent years. It is no problem to fight against Timur's army."

"That's the only way to go now."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "The first wave of offensive will be launched in Tehran. Now you arrange people to build fortifications. The Mongols are good at riding and shooting. You can't let them charge up and dig trenches. The more the better."

Zhu Qiyu said: "The matter of digging trenches has been arranged, and now everyone is waiting for Brother Huang to arrange tactics."

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, and said, "I don't want to get too involved in the formation of troops, let Li Zhen be responsible!"

On the contrary, Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised. The decisive battle was imminent, and the emperor's brother actually quit?
"This battle is of great importance, and I think it is safer for the emperor to personally command it."

"The Three Thousand Battalion followed me. I don't know how many battles, big and small, I have fought. It's time to practice. Let Li Zhen command it!"

To be honest, I didn't have much military talent in the first place. Only by relying on the experience of later generations, constantly improving weapons, and giving techniques and tactics ahead of this era, can I win every battle.

I'm the emperor, I can't lead you to fight every day, so I should retreat behind the scenes.

Zhu Qiyu didn't understand, but he knew that Brother Huang's arrangement must have some deep meaning, so he didn't continue to insist.

"Brother Huang, what do you need my younger brother to do?"

"You... be in charge of the logistics. Large-scale wars involve logistics supplies. This is a labor-intensive job. Can you bear it?"

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly said: "Brother Emperor, please rest assured, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

After the order was passed on, everyone began to prepare nervously, but Li Zhen came to the door.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to the formation of troops, the ministers are not as good as the Emperor, so please ask the Emperor to order it himself!"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Li Zhen, you traveled all over the world with me, and experienced countless battles, big and small. Do you still need me to personally ask about this matter?"

Li Zhen lowered her head and said, "I just...don't dare to make a claim..."

"What are you afraid of? Could it be that you are worried that if you can't beat me, I will punish you?"

"Your Majesty, I'm not afraid of those Mongols, it's just... I always feel that I'm giving orders in front of you, so I don't feel at ease."

"You don't have to worry about commanding, I will take care of it in the middle, and King Tan will take care of the logistics and supplies for you, what else do you want?"

Li Zhen was even more at a loss, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."

"Can I still lead you to fight for a lifetime?"

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and said: "I've thought about it, the important affairs of the court have been thrown away for too long, and the officials have complained for a long time. If there is a war, it depends on you."

Of course Li Zhen understood that the emperor still had a lot to do, and he couldn't keep fighting outside.

"I know what to do!"

"It's good to know, the enemy army is superior in number, this battle must be fought with momentum, and defeat them head-on!"

"The minister obeys the order!"
