"That's right, and it's not necessarily without benefits." At first, the man laughed and said, "I found a young woman the day before yesterday, didn't I just have fun for two days?" But yesterday she committed suicide, which is a pity. If only a young woman could be found. ”

"Don't think about this good thing, how can such a good thing let us meet twice. Alright, let's get up and wander around. ”

The man who began to speak put on his shoes and spun around again.

But they didn't know that just below the place where they had just been sitting, a man in ragged clothes, covered in scars and unable to distinguish his appearance, age and gender, was putting his mouth on the place where water was dripping from time to time, and was drinking the water that was dripping down.

Three days later, on the 24th day of the fifth month of the Ming calendar (the 12th day of the 12th month of the Hijri calendar), the remaining soldiers of Timur rushed to the city of Yiwu.

Timur immediately ordered all the fresh vegetables to be taken out, and a large number of cattle and sheep were killed, so that the soldiers could be fed.

For a while, everyone knew that the attack on Iwu City would officially begin tomorrow, and many people were excited, and while eating and chatting with their companions, how long they could take Yiwu City, how many enemies they could kill for the Great Khan and Allah, and how many good things they could loot after taking Yiwu City.

Among them, the most excited is the Central Plains Semu people who surrendered. They already knew that Shang Bing ordered the killing of the Semu people who were still in the city, and most of the Semu people were related to each other, so almost everyone had relatives killed, and they immediately hated the Ming Dynasty and the Qin Fan to the extreme, and they held back their strength when they heard that the city was going to be attacked tomorrow.

But there are people who are slightly worried. During the meal, Nayosa said to Timur: "Great Khan, the siege equipment brought by these soldiers will not be fully assembled early tomorrow morning, and it will take about half a day, is it not a day to delay the siege by one day?" ”

"Great Khan, although the city has been tentatively attacked every day for the past three days, the Ming army's defense is very strict, and the weakness of the Ming army's defense has not yet been tested, and I am afraid that the first batch of soldiers will suffer heavy casualties if the city is officially attacked tomorrow." Jesbu also said.

"I know these problems too, but we must send troops to attack the city early tomorrow morning!" Timur said categorically.

Hearing Timur speak like this, they immediately understood that Timur's determination was no longer objectionable, and some people wanted to ask, but Timur put down his knife and fork and returned to the back tent, and everyone understood at a glance that Timur did not want to communicate with them anymore, so they could only give up.

Later, they all put down their knives and forks and withdrew, and returned to their tents to rest. On the way, Salha couldn't help but ask Jesbo: "General Jesbu, what is the idea of the Great Khan?" ”

"The first soldiers to besiege the city were probably going to let the Semu people who took refuge here do it. The Great Khan had rescued them from the pagans of the East and had given them so much food that it was time for them to contribute to the Great Khan. ”

"One of the reasons for such a hasty siege should be that it is almost January, and the weather will be hot, and the temperature will reach extremely high by then, and people can't stand it at all." Jesbou replied.

"But the weather is hot, it's not just us, it's also hot, and the people of the Ming Kingdom are also hot, and they can't set up tents on the city to shade the sun." Salha said immediately.

"It's always more disadvantageous to the besiegers. But you're right, both friend and foe are hot. So I think there are other reasons, I just haven't figured it out, and I have to think again. You go back and think about it, too. Jesbu said.

When Salha saw that he did not know, because Jezbu had always been very tight-tongued, whether he knew it or not, since he said that he did not know and could not ask anything, he stopped asking.

Jesbu added: "According to the custom of the Great Khan, tomorrow morning we must give a speech to the generals and soldiers, and we generals must also be asked to get up very early, so we should go back early to rest so as not to be sleepy." After all, there won't be a catch-up sleep tomorrow during the day. ”

"Hmm." Salha agreed.

……

……

Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Timur sent to wake up all the soldiers, and after they had eaten breakfast hurriedly, they gathered around a high platform that had been hastily erected yesterday, and at the same time let all the generals stand in front of the high platform.

After the sun completely illuminated the sky, Timur led the guards to the high platform, his eyes scanned the soldiers below, and saw that the main force standing in the front row was very excited, and the auxiliary soldiers in the back were still yawning, and he was busy covering his mouth when he saw him standing on the platform, but he still couldn't hide the slack in his eyes.

Timur nodded slightly, shook his head, coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then began to speak.

"I, the generals of Samarkand, the civil officials, the soldiers, the craftsmen, and the people who have just abandoned the darkness and turned to the light."

"The city in front of you is now the westernmost territory of the Ming Kingdom in the East, but this city has only been the territory of the Ming Kingdom for four years. And before that, it was a place occupied by the Celestial Cultists. ”

"The persecution of us Tianfang cultists in the Ming Kingdom is extremely strong, we are not allowed to have our faith, and the reputation of Allah and the prophet is slandered, such a thing is unbearable for every Tianfang cultist!"

"For the sake of Allah, for the sake of the Prophet, for the sake of the Heavenly Sect, and for the sake of all the believers in the world, we must defeat the Ming Kingdom, punish them, kill all the Khitans who have persecuted the Heavenly Sects, and capture this order for the Ming Emperor, and put him in a room full of the Gulan Sutra to starve to death!" Let all the people of the world know that Allah is not to be blasphemed, and the followers of the heavenly side are not to be humiliated! ”

Every time Timur said a word, the guards beside him repeated it aloud. The 200,000 main forces under his command could understand Samarkand, and most of the auxiliaries could also understand it, and as for the local Semu and Mongols, they couldn't understand it.

At this moment, when these people heard these words, they all raised their weapons in their hands in excitement and shouted: "Allah is not allowed to be blasphemed, and the Heavenly Sect is not to be bullied!" ”

"Therefore, for the sake of Allah, the army will storm Hami City from today, first knock down this city, take out Zhu Shangbing, the king of the Ming Kingdom of Qin, who ordered the massacre of the Eastern Christians in the city a few days ago, and execute him with the most cruel punishment!"

"For Allah!" The crowd shouted again.

"Followers of Allah, begin to siege the city."

"Siege!"

After shouting this, Timur announced the end of his speech and came down from the high platform. The generals returned to their troops and began to lead their soldiers in preparing for the siege.

And while Timur was speaking, one of the two people who was standing in a tent in the camp and listening to the speech suddenly smiled bitterly at the other: "You guessed correctly." ”

At the same time, at the head of Yiwu's city, Shang Bing also said the same thing: "The official family actually guessed correctly. ”
