"Finally exceeded!" When the 4,327th knife was cut, Wu Yingqi let out a knowing laugh.

Wu Shifan burst into tears and bowed to the sky: "Father, brother, this clan has finally avenged you!" Did you see that? Kang Mazi was cut by a thousand knives! ”

It took 4,510 knives to cut Kang Mazi before he died. Kang Mazi, who was once raised to a hundred and fifty pounds and was as fat as a mountain of meat, was cut to only the skeleton at this time. The executioner cut off the head and dug out the heart. Wu Shifan put Kang Mazi's head, heart and liver into a wooden plate and presented them to worship in front of the spiritual throne of his father and younger brother.

"Shifan's nephew, now that the revenge has been avenged, you have also fulfilled a wish. It's just that Wang Yu in the south has self-respect for his troops and does not obey Wang Hua at all, which is the big trouble for our uncle and nephew! Wu Yingqi patted Wu Shifan's shoulder and said.

Wu Shifan shook his head: "Uncle, how can Wang Yu say that he is also the brother-in-law of this domain, and he has no intention of sending troops to us at all, he is determined to be in the world, and he has no intention of chasing the Central Plains, so why should my uncle be angry with him?" Just this time, Wang Yu sent troops to Manila, you can see where his ambition lies. ”

Wu Yingqi snorted coldly: "No matter what, he is an outsider, and only our uncle and nephew are his own people." Can you guarantee that after he is so strong that he is invincible in the world, he can still tolerate our uncle and nephew? ”

"If he is invincible, then what threat do we have to him?" After all, Wu Shifan heard what Li Sixing, the king of Jin, said about the south, so he thought that Wang Yu was not in the heart, but working hard for the Han people to dominate the world.

……

Thousands of miles away, the Palace of the Emir of Bukhara.

King Abdullah Aziz was giving a banquet to Li Laiheng, Galdan and Li Guangdi. The Ming army's western expedition against the army of the Mughal Empire won a hundred battles, but because of the long supply line, all the food and ammunition had to be transported by camels, and it was no longer possible to maintain the offensive against the Mughal Empire, and it was impossible to conquer several fortified cities occupied by the Mughal Empire army, and the Ming army could only garrison a few fortified cities. However, the Mughal imperial army that was frightened did not dare to go out of the city, because the field battle was the world of the Ming army, and in every field battle, the Mughal army was beaten all over the ground to find teeth.

Bukhara had barely enough food to supply its own soldiers and civilians, and there was no surplus food to help them fend off the Mughal Empire's Ming-Mongol forces. In order to reduce ammunition consumption, Li Laiheng did not plan to attack the fortified castles held by the Mughal Empire, and after fighting a tough battle, the ammunition consumption was astronomical.

However, with the Ming and Mongolian coalition forces helping to defend, the Bukhara Khanate can be regarded as restless, and the Mughal Empire does not dare to attack rashly, and the two sides are deadlocked. On the one hand, it has the advantage of weapons, but there is not enough food and ammunition; On the other hand, they had an advantage in troops, food and ammunition, and no one dared to attack.

"Great Khan! Oh no, the Persian army is here again! "In the middle of the banquet, suddenly a Bukhara soldier hurriedly broke in to report it.

Persia was originally an empire that believed in Zoroastrianism, and later it was also greatly influenced by Celestial Religion, and by the time of the Safavid Empire, the Persians had completely adopted Celestial Religion as the state religion, and they believed in Shia Celestial Religion. The main enemies of Persia were the Ottoman Turkish Empire to the west and the Uzbeks to the east. Russia to the north began to expand, but the Caspian Sea prevented Russian power from entering Persia.

At this time, the Safavid Empire of Persia was the heyday of Persia, the Persian Empire hired British military instructors, and had close trade contacts with the British East India Company.

Because the Persians had a strong army, they were able to withstand the Ottoman Empire, but they were able to expand westward, compress the territory of the Uzbeks, and launch an attack on the Bukhara Khanate.

At this time, the Bukhara Khanate had a number of enemies, not only the Mughal Empire in the south, but also the Russian Empire in the north, and the Uzbeks, together with the Khiva Khanate, which belonged to Khorezm, also did not have good relations with the Bukhara. If it weren't for the Mughal invasion, there would have been constant wars between the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate.

"The Mughals haven't left yet, and the Persians are coming again?" Abdullah Aziz sighed.

"Our army can be pulled out and will meet the Persians for a while!" Lee Rae-hyung proposed.

Abdullah Aziz asked suspiciously, "Why don't we garrison the fortified city and wait for the Persians to attack it, so that they will meet under the city and bleed?" ”

Li Laiheng said: "If the Persians occupy all the pastures and farmland, what will your people eat? Our army can still rely on camels to transport them long distances, barely enough to eat. But what about you? Your soldiers and civilians must not starve to death? Only by going out of the city to fight in the field, to beat the Persians and make them afraid to go out of the city to fight, can the grain income be guaranteed. ”

The combat effectiveness of the Persian army is even stronger than that of the Mughal army, after all, the Persian army is also a Western-style army, and the degree of firearms is very high, but the Persian army was not equipped with bayonets back then, and like the Western army of that year, it was a mixed formation of musketeers and spearmen, and musketeers with waist knives could fight hand-to-hand. In addition, the cavalry of Persia is not weak, and Persia also has war elephants, and the configuration of troops is similar to that of the Mughal Empire, but the training is much better.

On the steppes of Central Asia, eleven Ming scout cavalry galloped on horseback to spy on the intelligence of the Persian army.

"Attention, there's a Persian scout over there!" Suddenly, a Ming cavalryman reined in his horse and shouted.

On the horizon in the distance, more than twenty small black dots appeared, coming in the direction of the Ming army scout cavalry.

The commander of the Ming army picked up the binoculars, looked at the cavalry that came over, and found that it was the Persian scout cavalry who was attacking. So the commander of the Ming army put down the binoculars and said to the possessors around him: "Take advantage of our rifled guns and fly their kites!" ”

Eleven Ming scout cavalry took off the paper bullet casings from their backs and loaded their guns, first turned their horses' heads, turned their guns and aimed their guns at the approaching Persians, and when the Persians entered within a hundred paces, the Ming scout cavalry pulled the trigger one after another, only to hear a row of gunfire, and three Persian cavalrymen fell off their horses in response.

"Damn! How could the enemy's muskets hit so far? The Persian scouts were taken aback.

"Don't be afraid of them, theirs is a rifle, although it can hit far, but it can only be hit once." The scout captain shouted.

The remaining Persians rode their horses and galloped after the Ming army. The cavalry of the Ming army waved their whips and whipped the horses, which increased their speed and distanced themselves from the Persians. When the distance was far away, the Ming scouts, who had loaded their horses with bullets, turned around and fired again.
