Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 443 The Last Khanate
Inside the city of Salai.

Bora Khan looked at the battle report in front of him, with dark clouds all over his face.

One hundred thousand troops approached the city, but he, the great Khan who quickly took over the position of Khan after he was captured by the Ming army in Uluhei Mahama, had nothing to do.

It's not that the 10 army is too many, [-], maybe the Golden Horde cannot gather so many people in a short period of time, but it is one of the four major Khanates after all, and there are still more or less foundations.

But the problem is that what he has to face is the Ming army.

It is no secret what happened in the European battlefield, and his predecessor, Mahama, was also captured by the Ming army.

For the Golden Horde, facing the Ming army, the good news is that they don't have to worry about threats from the sea, because the Golden Horde has no coastal areas, but the bad news is that they have to face the furious Ming army.

It has been two years since Zhu Zhanhe went on an expedition to Europe. Apart from being obsessed with the place of Astrakhan, he has almost never done anything to the Golden Horde. Bora Khan didn't know why, but he knew that the Ming army was almost The reason for the outpouring.

It was Mahama's siege and attack on Qian Yong that angered the Ming army.

Yes, the Golden Horde does not have to face the Ming army's sea power, and most of the Ming army's sea power has been dispatched, but the remaining supply fleet will continuously send the Ming army's backup from The Black Sea enters the Sea of ​​Azov and then enters the Don River to send it over.

Worst of all, the Don is just to the west of the Volga highlands, not far from Sarai....

In addition, Bora Khan already knew what Astrakhan's ending would be like.

If this is the case for an Astrakhan, how would the Ming army treat Sarai?

The results speak for themselves.

Thinking of this, Bora Khan seemed to have seen that the Ming army did not rush forward, but used white phosphorous eggs to strike from a long distance, and finally Sarai turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Thinking of this, Bora Khan couldn't help shivering, and turned his head to look northwest.

There is the direction of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

The old land of the Timur Empire belonged to Daming after the demise of the Timur Empire. Although it has already formed an ally and is also one of the four khanates, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Bora Khan no longer counts on up.

As the most important channel, the Syr Darya, the outlet of Lake Balkhash, has long been occupied by the Ming army. Bora Khan doesn’t think that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which is trembling under the threat of the Ming court, dares to face the Ming army. The main force of the expeditionary force.

Besides, the most important minister in the East Chagatai Khanate and the most trusted minister of Waisi Khan, Ali Pu, has rebelled and switched to the Ming army.
Therefore, Bora Khan can only pin his hopes on the Grand Duchy of Lithuania that he had negotiated with them before.

However, he didn't know that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was already in turmoil at this time. Everyone was trembling with fear from the Ming army's treasure fleet on the northern Baltic Sea coast. It can be said that all the troops that could be deployed were transferred back to defense.

Where is the time to care about the life and death of their Golden Horde?

Besides, even if the Grand Duchy of Lithuania intends to rescue them, it may not be effective.

After all, Jian Xiao ran to the south of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania early in the morning. As long as the Grand Duchy of Lithuania dares to make a move, the first thing that will be encountered is definitely Jian Xiao's obstruction.

Finally... the Ming army is already approaching the city. With the white phosphorus egg, even if the Grand Duchy of Lithuania arrives in Sarai immediately, will it be effective?

The Ming army can let Chen Mao in the north of Sarai temporarily resist the attack of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and Zhu Sanfeng in the south can throw a wave of white phosphorous eggs into the city of Sarai, and then put it aside and go instead Support Chen Mao.

Regarding the weapon of white phosphorous eggs, it can be said that Zhu Zhanhe made great contributions during the two years of his expedition to Europe, but after two years, no one has been able to find a way to restrain this weapon.

……

Outside the city of Salai, Zhu Sanfeng looked up at the sky.

Today is a must to attack, the time is not too early, but she can't attack first, because she has to wait for Chen Mao in the north of the city to attack first, and she can only attack with confidence after she is sure that Chen Mao has launched the attack.

There is no other reason. The soldiers led by her and Zheng Heng are on the south side of Sarai City. Looking south from here, there is no other country except the destroyed Timur Empire.

But Chen Mao in the north of the city is different.

To the north of the Golden Horde, there is the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Mosk. Although there is Jane Xiao, it is difficult to determine whether someone has circled east to support Sarai.

The possibility of this kind of thing happening is extremely small, but it has to be guarded against. Because of what happened to her husband Qian Yong, Zhu Sanfeng no longer wants to have any accidents, let alone lose troops in a mere Eastern European battlefield.

Only when Chen Mao in the north of the city launched an attack, could it show that Sarai really had no reinforcements, and Zhu Sanfeng could launch the attack with confidence.

Time passed bit by bit, Zhu Sanfeng just sat quietly on the horseback, looked straight at Sarai, and waited for the messenger to bring the news that Chen Mao in the north of the city had launched an attack.

However, Chen Mao in the north of the city seemed to have the least chance of encountering the thing that Zhu Sanfeng was most worried about, so he did not launch an attack for a long time.

Waiting until noon, seeing that the soldiers under his command were getting a little impatient, and their morale was also shaken due to the long-term immobility, Zheng Heng was worried.

His lips were slightly parted. He hadn't taken in water for a long time, so he instantly felt a piercing pain on his lips, and then felt some liquid slowly flowing down from the corner of his mouth.

Gently wiping the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, Zheng Heng pulled the reins lightly, wanting to discuss with Zhu Sanfeng whether to send a team to the north of the city to see the situation.

At this moment, a loud arrow dragged its long tail into the air, and then made a loud explosion.

"attack!"

Almost at the same time, Zhu Sanfeng pulled the reins abruptly and turned around.

Daming's first attack has never had anything to do with a general like her, because the first attack is always launched by long-range artillery.

Following Zhu Sanfeng's order, the Ming army moved quickly, and a small number of cavalry rushed out from the two wings first, heading towards Sarai.

Following the footsteps of the cavalry, the infantry rushed out from the center formation, and the main force of the first attack, the Shenji Battalion, fell to the end.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed to a distance of [-] steps below the city. This was already the farthest distance the cavalry could reach during the siege, and compared to the normal situation, this distance was already a bit too far.

If it is a longbow, and it is thrown, and it still occupies a favorable position like the head of the city, the range of the longbow can definitely reach this distance.

The cavalry turned around and pulled back for a certain distance, avoiding the first round of arrows fired by the enemy at the top of the city of Sarai, then turned around and took out their bows and arrows. Even though they knew that the range was not enough, they still fired a round of salvos.

It doesn't matter whether there is a kill or not, the important thing is the interference.

After a round of volleys from the cavalry, the infantry quickly occupied the place they needed and began to level the position of the firearms battalion.

Seeing that the other party has steadily entered the process, the soldiers of the Golden Horde at the head of the city of Sarai were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

The well-trained soldiers quickly sorted out the place, and Zhu Sanfeng who was behind cast a look at his guards when he saw this.

Soon, the low-pitched horn sounded, and upon hearing the sound of the horn, both infantry and cavalry turned their heads in unison and headed towards the southwest.

The soldiers of the Golden Horde at the head of the Sarai city were full of confusion. It can be said that they had never fought against the Ming army, and they did not understand the Ming army's combat process at all.

But soon, they understood, but this understanding came a bit late.

boom!
As the first cannon exploded, the artillery of the Shenji Battalion also exploded one after another, and shells with white tails rushed towards Sarai.

"Pass down the order to stay for a stick of incense, and always guard against the remnant soldiers rushing out of the city."

"After one stick of incense, the whole army moved to the west of Salai. According to the wind direction, the friendly army in the north of the city needs to guard half of the north and half of the west. We will guard the entire south and half of the west."

"Yes!"

……

With the issuance of this order, the siege campaign against Sarai, the capital of the Golden Horde, can be said to be coming to an end.

It looks very simple and unpretentious.

The cavalry charged to attract attention, the infantry leveled the position and guarded the Shenji Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion launched the first round of attack with white phosphorous eggs.

Then, the siege is over, and all that remains is to hold the position of the upper wind and make up for the enemy running out of the city.

As for the position of the downwind vent... there is no problem if you don't guard it.

Under the attack of the white phosphorous egg, even if they were lucky enough not to be contaminated with phosphorous fire, the smell of burning white phosphorous would still cause great harm. Even if they couldn't kill them, it would be enough to make them lose their fighting power.

Even, for the rest of their lives, they have to be taken care of in bed for the rest of their lives.

North of Sarai City.

Although he was the first to attack, the excitement on Chen Mao's face could not be concealed.

In this battle, they didn't use much energy, because their white phosphorous eggs were not as many as Zhu Sanfeng's.

After all, Chen Mao used to be a general of the emperor's lineage, and now that he has just arrived, Zhu Zhanhe must have taken precautions against him. If he hadn't sent the prince's guards to monitor Chen Mao by the way, Zhu Zhanhe would not even release the white phosphorous egg to him. he.

Therefore, although some white phosphorous eggs were used to clean up the nomadic tribes in the north of Sarai, Zhu Sanfeng used more when entering the palace in Astrakhan. In this case, all the white phosphorous eggs in Chen Mao's hands are still Not as many as Zhu Sanfeng.

But for Chen Mao now, these are not important anymore.

Because, the greatest contribution to this battle has already been in his hands.

Previously, it was not in vain to make Zhu Sanfeng wait until noon to attack, because during that time, he took the greatest credit for this battle into his hands.

With this credit, Ming can safely announce to the world: Of the four major khanates, only the last khanate, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, remains.
