Chapter 1027: Crisis is Approaching
"Gurrusa, why did you betray Ben Khan, betray the Khanate!" Monte Khan also looked at Gullusa, and at this time he could be said to have mixed feelings in his heart, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Gurrusa, and shouted angrily.
"Great Khan, what the lower officials did was entirely for the sake of the royal family, if this is not the case, the royal family will suffer a catastrophe and will never have a chance to turn over." Hearing this, Gurrusha bowed to the Great Khan of Monte and replied quietly, looking a little confident.
"Ridiculous, your behavior of throwing yourself into battle is treason and cowardice." When the Great Khan of Monte saw that Gurrusha did not have the slightest repentance, a wave of anger rose in his heart, and he almost roared and shouted to Gurrusha, "Who swore to protect the Khanate before? ”
"Great Khan, now that the Khanate is over, the only way to make a comeback is to keep the royal family, otherwise once the city is broken, the entire city will be slaughtered, and the royal family will also be slaughtered!"
Gurrusa did not have the slightest fear, and looked at the Great Khan of Monte and said loudly, "For the sake of the entire khanate, the lower officials have to do this, and when the time comes, the lower officials will regroup their forces to restore the khanate, and the khanate will still be the royal family's world!" ”
"Restoring the Khanate?" Hearing this, Monte Khan immediately sneered, "Ben Khan sees that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, so you want to join the enemy, now although the royal city is besieged, we are not alone, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty are already on the way, as long as we can hold the city then we will be able to survive this catastrophe safely." ”
"Great Khan, the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty is the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, and the generals of the Western Expeditionary Army are also the most capable generals of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Western Expeditionary Army has lost more than 400,000 elite soldiers, and there are only 20,000 defeated soldiers in the royal city in the Khanate, how can the Ming Dynasty rescue us now?"
The corners of Gurrusa's mouth suddenly flashed with a disdainful smile, in his opinion, the Western Expeditionary Army is the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and the first priority of the Ming Dynasty now is to resist the invasion of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, and there is no strength to come to the rescue of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate again, and then glanced at Narsa who was standing behind the Great Khan of Monte, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Great Khan, there is another way, the goal of Xichagatai and Beiyuan this time is actually Daming, as long as we hand over Narsha, who has become the concubine of the prince of Daming, then they will withdraw their troops and no longer besiege the royal city, and they will definitely not embarrass us in the future."
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the hall were taken aback, and they all looked at Narsha in surprise, no one could have imagined that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty would value Narsha so much, the concubine of the Ming prince.
"Your Excellency, you are wrong, the Western Expeditionary Army is not the most elite force of the Ming Dynasty, and we are not the most capable generals of the Ming Dynasty."
Bai An couldn't help but speak after learning about Gurrusha's words from Narsa, looking at Gurrusha with an expressionless face:
"The most elite army of the Ming Dynasty is the Xiaowu Army, which defeated the Northern Yuan a few years ago, making the Northern Yuan far away from the desert and dare not go south, and the most capable general of the Ming Dynasty is the commander of the Xiaowu Army, that is, our Ming Dynasty's Zhongwu King, in addition, we have Zhang Taishi, Zhongguo Gong and Yiguo Gong and other generals who gallop across the battlefield."
"Although Daming was defeated here, the foundation still exists, as long as the reinforcements arrive, it will definitely turn the current tide of the war!" Saying that, Bai An's face showed a proud look, this is the biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and other countries, with a strong cohesion that they do not have, even those barbarians who rebel in the country will often send troops to participate in the battle against foreign enemies after receiving the recruitment of the Ming Dynasty.
"In that case, why didn't your Zhongwu King come this time, and why didn't your Xiaowu army go with the army?" After Narsa's translation, Gurlusa and the others understood what Bai An meant, Da Ming was far more powerful than they imagined, which made a trace of disdain appear at the corner of Gurusa's mouth, and he said sarcastically, thinking that Bai An was bluffing.
"The Xiaowu Army is our Ming Emperor's Praetorian Guard, how can it be easily dispatched? King Zhongwu is the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, how can he easily leave Beijing? ”
Bai An knew that Gurlusa didn't believe his words, so he stared at Gurlusa coldly and said, "The Northern Yuan Dynasty was rampant in our Ming Liaodong and Northern Zhili, how arrogant was it, and later the first emperor sent the King of Zhongwu to go to the expedition, and the King of Zhongwu only brought 5,000 Xiaowu troops to kill the Northern Yuan and fled, and now the Western Expeditionary Army is defeated, but the King of Zhongwu will definitely give the Ming Dynasty this face back!" ”
Gurlusa's face changed slightly after hearing this, he didn't know how the Northern Yuan was defeated that year, he only knew that there was a split within the Northern Yuan later, and the Northern Yuan Wuliang Habu and other big tribes took refuge in the Ming Dynasty under the lure of the Ming Dynasty, which made the Northern Yuan finally fall short and failed to capture the capital that had been besieged for many days.
Then, Gurlusa turned and walked to a middle-aged official kneeling behind him, leaned over and whispered to him, inquiring about the defeat of the Northern Yuan Dynasty that year.
As he communicated with the middle-aged official, Gurrusa's face showed a look of surprise, all the news he knew about the defeat of the Northern Yuan was basically some rumors, and he did not know the course of the war.
It is worth mentioning that in order to cover up the defeat, the remnants of the Northern Yuan deliberately spread false news in the Western Regions after the defeat, saying that the reason why the Northern Yuan was defeated was because some tribes were bought by the Ming Dynasty to maintain the majesty of the Northern Yuan in the Western Regions, and what Gurlusa knew was precisely those rumors on the market.
However, it is not that no one in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate knows the truth about the defeat of the Northern Yuan, the middle-aged official who was questioned by Gurlusa had sent an envoy to the Northern Yuan two years ago, so he heard about the defeat from some officials of the Northern Yuan at the wine table, and knew that the Northern Yuan was defeated by the Zhongwu King who went to Liaodong almost alone in the Ming Dynasty, and the Xiaowu army became famous in the first battle and became famous in the Northern Yuan.
In this way, it means that Bai An is not lying, although the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty has suffered heavy losses, there are more elite Xiaowu troops, and the Zhongwu King who made the Northern Yuan suffer greatly, its strength is still extremely strong.
"You finally understand why they want Narsa, they are afraid of the Ming Dynasty King Zhongwu and his Xiaowu army, and want to use Narsa to threaten the King of Zhongwu!" Seeing that Gullusa's face became a little ugly, Monte Khan couldn't help but sneer and said to him.
Compared to Gullusa, Monte Khan knew more about Li Yuntian's deeds, although he was not sure whether Li Yuntian was really as powerful as rumored and could turn the tide in the Western Regions, but now in order to appease people's hearts, he had to convince the civil and military generals on the scene that the Ming would send someone to save them, and the Ming Zhongwu King and the Xiaowu army under his command were their hope.
"Don't lose Bali City is thousands of miles away from the westernmost Guanxi region of the Ming Dynasty, and there is the Turpan region occupied by the Great Yuan in the middle, unless the loyal warrior king and the Xiaowu army of the Ming Dynasty can put on their wings, it will be absolutely difficult to arrive before the city is broken."
A complicated look appeared on Gullusa's face, and then he said to the Great Khan of Monte with a blank face, "Great Khan, to tell you the truth, the generals of the Western Chagatai and Dayuan outside the city do not want to share the credit for taking the royal city to their reinforcements, so they are preparing to attack the city today, and the only way to stop them is to surrender, so as to save the people in the city." ”
"What?" The people at the scene were taken aback when they heard this, no one expected that the generals of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army outside the city would attack the city in order to fight for merit, which meant that the city of Beishi Bali would officially fall into the flames of war.
Bai An and other generals of the Western Expeditionary Army were also quite surprised, the forces of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan outside the city were not superior, and if they forcibly attacked the city, they would cause them great casualties.
But then again, once the success is achieved, all the people who have made great achievements on the battlefield there will have thousands of bones under their feet, and if the enemy generals outside the city want to fight for merit, then they will definitely order a forcible siege, so they will not care about the life and death of the soldiers.
"Hmph, the royal city has thick walls, and they are not afraid of death and will come to attack the city." A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Great Khan of Monte, and then he said with a sneer, "Ben Khan wants to see if they can take the city." ”
"Great Khan, as far as the lower officials know, you and the Dayuan coalition army outside the city have recently obtained a powerful firearm, which is specially used to deal with the city wall, which was captured by Dayuan from the Daming Western Expeditionary Army in Heishui City, and it is said that the power is so great that it can raze the hill to the ground!"
Gurrusa's knowledge of Beshai Bali City now is the most important reliance on Beswan Bali City's tall walls, although it is not as wide and thick as Qinglong City, but it is already an easy to defend and difficult to attack in the Western Regions, and then he told Monte Khan a bad news in a deep voice.
"Dynamite!" Hearing this, Li Zixi's eyes, who were standing behind Bai An's crowd, suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he understood what the firearm in Gurlusa's mouth could raze the hill was.
When Yang Sanyu, the Marquis of Chengning, led his army to attack Heishui City, he once carried a large amount of explosives and wanted to deal with the walls of Heishui City, but with Yang Sanyu's defeat in Heishui City, those explosives also fell into the hands of the Northern Yuan.
For the power of explosives, no one on the scene knows better than Li Zixi, who was born in Wutang and works beside Li Yuntian, once the Northern Yuan really uses explosives, then don't lose the wall of Bali City even if it is not blown up, it will be blown out of a gap, and the consequences are unimaginable, you must know that the city wall is the biggest spiritual pillar of the army and people in the city, if it fails, it will have a disastrous impact on the morale of the army and the people.
At the same time, there was a commotion in the main hall, and the officials of the East Chagatai at the scene were talking in private, with frightened expressions on their faces.
They have witnessed the power of the Ming army's firearms, after Song Hai, the Duke of Wuguo, led the army into Beishi Bali City, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and at the same time to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, he once let the artillery battalion practice in public, and forcibly flattened a hill outside the city, which shocked the soldiers and civilians of Beishi Bali City at the scene.
Now, the Northern Yuan generals outside the city have actually transferred a powerful firearm, and it is unknown whether the walls of Bali City can withstand the powerful power of this firearm, which makes the officials on the scene panic.
