Timur was thinking about it, when suddenly a voice of announcement came from outside the tent: "Great Khan, the generals want to report to the Great Khan about the current situation." ”

"Let them in." When Timur heard this, he replied and returned to the bed and sat down.

His generals then rushed in and bowed to him: "May Allah grant peace to the Great Khan." ”

"Peace be upon you by Allah." Timur replied. After the generals agreed again, they began to report.

The previous debriefings were routine, and there was nothing new. It wasn't until a person who looked short and ordinary in appearance stepped forward and began to report that something new came to mind.

"Great Khan, the beast team attacked again last night, biting and killing more than ten sentinels of the Ming army, and capturing one alive. Not a single beast died. The man said.

"Gilji, now that the tent is full of his own people, there is no need to say any beasts, it's just a few dogs." Salha said with a smile. Everyone laughed.

The man named Gilji was not annoyed either, and said, "Although it is indeed a dog, it is not an ordinary dog, it is more powerful than a wolf, and it cannot be regarded as an ordinary dog." ”

Salha was about to say something more, but Timur waved his hand unhappily and said, "I'm talking about business, and I'll talk about it later." Gilgil, you go on. ”

Salha was speechless for a moment. Gilgi continued: "Usually a man who is bitten by a dog dies of mad rabies disease not long after, but this man is not dead, so I interrogated him. ”

"I learned that the sentries of the Ming army were always bitten to death by unknown beasts during these days, and the people were panicked, and they were unwilling to be on duty anymore, but the military orders were like mountains and had to do it. But the resentment in my heart is also very great, especially those who are not old and have no sons, and they already have the intention of disobeying. ”

"Oh," Timur smiled at this. Finally there is a happy thing. Even if it wasn't much of a blow to the Ming army, it always made them lose something.

After that, it was time to listen to the reports of other generals. The big mullah in the barracks said: "Great Khan, in the next few days, there may be times when there will be heavy rain, and there will also be times when there will be thunder and lightning but it will not rain, and the soldiers should be instructed to pay attention to rain and lightning protection." ”

"When you go back, you tell your soldiers not to leave their tents when it rains or when they hear the sound of thunder, and they do not touch anything made of metal inside the tent." Timur commanded. Everyone hurriedly agreed.

When all the generals had finished reporting on their soldiers, Timur said to them: "Dear generals, you all know the current situation. ”

"The Ming army relies on the total strength of more than us, and every day sends soldiers out of the camp to provoke, I also have to face the battle, although the losses of both sides in the past 20 days are about the same, but our army only has 500,000 people at the beginning, and the Ming army has 600,000 here at the beginning, so if it is consumed, even if the Ming State is finally defeated, the loss will be great."

"I don't want all my soldiers to die in the war with the Ming Kingdom, but I haven't thought of a good solution yet. I want to ask you, is there any good way? ”

Timur finally decided that in the face of these generals he trusted the most, he would tell the truth. These generals are not stupid, even if they trust his command ability very much, but the current situation is that the commander of the Ming army on the opposite side is fighting a war in the mode of 'hardening the village and fighting a dumb battle', and there is no flaw at all, and Timur's command ability is useless.

And if the stalemate continues, although they will not necessarily be defeated in Samarkand, they will not have the strength to attack the Ming mainland after that, so now Timur hopes to come up with a way to defeat the Ming army on the opposite side.

It's not like everyone hasn't thought about this problem these days, and they've put forward their own suggestions at this time. But they were successively denied by Timur.

Just as Timur began to be anxious again, Salkha said: "Great Khan, I heard the Great Mullah just now say that it is likely to rain in the next few days, so it is better to send troops to attack the camp of the Ming army on a rainy night, right?" ”

"In the past few days, I have seen the situation of our army fighting with the Ming army, the Ming army is very dependent on firearms, although the cannons are not often fired, but grenades, muskets and other things emerge in an endless stream, and most of the damage to our army is caused by the firearms of the Ming army. When the Ming army was fighting on a rainy day, the firearms of the Ming army could not be used, so one of their sharp weapons was removed. ”

"Also, the horses of the Ming army are not as strong as our horses. The cavalry of the Ming army used Mongol horses. We also have Mongolian horses in our hands, which are characterized by long running and strong endurance, but they are smaller than our big eating horses and have weak collision power. ”

"If you send cavalry to attack the cavalry camp of the Ming army at night when it is dark and break up their horses, the Ming army will lose its ability to maneuver in the future, and the initiative of the war will be in the hands of our army."

Timur did have some truth in this strategy. But he still said: "Salha, of course what you said is reasonable, if you can break up the horses of the Ming army, you will definitely get the initiative in the war." But the strategy is almost impossible to succeed. ”

"You know the truth, the generals of the Ming army on the opposite side also understand that the defense at night, especially when it rains, must be very careful, although the Ming army is inconvenient to move when it rains, but our army is also inconvenient to move, even if only one sentry sends a signal before being killed, the Ming army will immediately organize a defense, and the attack on the camp will fail. I can't bet on the very small chance that all the sentries didn't send a signal before they were killed. ”

But as soon as Timur's voice fell, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to Gilji and said: "Gilji, did you just explain that the sentries of the army are not very willing to be on duty?" ”

"Yes, Great Khan."

"Send all the fierce dogs under your command to attack the sentries of the Ming army in the middle of the night, and make sure that they are all bitten to death. Don't be afraid that a fierce dog will be killed, even if you can't bring their corpses back, you don't have to care about the mystery of the beast when the Ming army discovers it. ”

Of course, Gilji is not stupid as a general, and he heard what Timur meant, but he hesitated for a moment and said: "The Ming army has recently strengthened its defense at night, and there are at least two people on duty in each outpost, and they may not be able to kill them all." ”

"How many can be killed!" Timur said: "Do it with your best effort." ”

"Yes, Great Khan." Although Gilgi is still reluctant,
