Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 744: Hit with one shot, corrupted for ten miles

Shang Bin was the name of Huang Guan who was poisoned by Zhu Su. Hearing Zhu Su mention him, Huang Guan quickly turned around and said humbly: "Students dare not thank everyone. You all fought for our Ming Dynasty." In a foreign land, hard work brings great rewards. The students are just transporting some luggage, but I really don’t dare to do the work in a big way..."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Guan's face froze and he began to vomit on the spot, perhaps because he was hit by the bloody energy that was as miserable as Shura Hell.

When Zhu Su, Fei Ju and others saw this, they were startled for a moment, and then laughed. Even the soldiers who refused to retreat were also infected and laughed at this shameless scholar. The originally sad atmosphere was swept away by these few laughs: there is indeed no need to be too sad, most of the corpses on the ground belong to the enemy, and the thief chief paid a heavy price. Not only did he fail to break out, but he could only trap them. Escaped into the city again with his tail on his tail. This is another great victory for the Ming Dynasty, isn't it?

The joy of victory began to dilute the sadness of the soldiers and raised their morale and belief to a new level.

In order to take care of Huang Guan who was vomiting to death, Zhu Su, Yao Guangxiao, and Fei Ju took him to the big tent at the back. Soon Zhu Di, Zhang Dingbian and others also arrived. In this great victory, Timur lost nearly 30,000 troops, but he failed to achieve the feat. Perhaps he was still frightened by Timur's almost breaking through before. But now, the Ming army, who have recovered their senses, have begun to get excited.

The thief chieftain is getting closer and closer to defeat. This difficult opponent is about to be defeated by them, and this difficult battle will finally come to an end.

"Let me introduce to you, Huang Guan and Huang Shangbin, a member of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty. He once worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Even my father valued him very much. He also deserves credit for my ability to remove the poison from my body." Zhu Su introduced Huang Guandao to everyone.

"...His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is ridiculously complimentary. The student is ashamed. After all, he is just a scholar. He cannot compare with the merits of our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. He has really lost his face just now..." Huang Guan was a little embarrassed.

"Hahahaha, why did the young man vomit for the first time on the battlefield? There are so many people here, who hasn't come from this one? When a certain person went on the battlefield for the first time, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep for three days. !" It was Zhang Dingbian who comforted Huang Guan. Huang Guan finally felt a little better when he heard that this fierce man was actually frightened when he went to the battlefield for the first time. Just listen to Zhang Dingbian continue: "There are many talented people in our country. Your willingness to come to this foreign land to make achievements shows that you are an outstanding person."

"I heard that under the leadership of His Highness the Fifth Highness, all of you Imperial College students have sworn an oath and are willing to study for the rise of China? Good! You have lived up to the ambition of China's sages for thousands of years!"

Zhang Dingbian's country was ruined and his family was destroyed, and he had no one to whom he could be loyal. Only living up to the word "dingbian" in his name has become his eternal obsession. Nowadays, he is gradually feeling that his years are gone, and it is his happiest thing to see the young people in China willing to go all the way to expand the territory. This made him feel that China was prospering and would no longer suffer from foreign bullying like what he had seen in his early years.

Although Huang Guan didn't know who this veteran was, he could feel the deep appreciation and hope in his words, so he put aside his shame and solemnly bowed his hand towards Zhang Dingbian.

Seeing that Huang Guan had lost his dejected state, Zhu Su nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I entrusted the matter of righteousness and righteousness to Monk Dao Yan, and left it to me to attack the city. The method of attacking the city. , just on the equipment Huang Guan brought."

"When we set off from the city of Shendu to rush to the rescue of Fourth Brother and Uncle Fei, we divided our troops into two armies: one part was my Ming sergeant and the army of servants recruited from Shendu, and the other was to transport heat. Elephant Troops of Balloons, Cannons, etc.”

"Hot air balloons, baggage and other items are cumbersome and difficult to transport, but the poisonous elephant soldiers are the best choice for transporting these items. Unfortunately, the elephant soldiers' advance was really slow. At that time, they were afraid of missing important events, so they asked the elephant soldiers to slow down. Okay, I'll come to help you first."

"Later we fought with the thief chief, and I was worried that these things would fall into the hands of the thief chief, so I ordered the Xiang soldiers to temporarily station at the border of Shendu until the situation became clear before coming back." Listening to Zhu Su's explanation, everyone started talking. nod. At that time, Zhu Di and Zhu Su were fighting with Shaharul and Timur respectively. If the slow-moving elephant soldiers came with weapons and baggage, there was no guarantee that they would not be captured by Timur. Letting them wait at the border is indeed a wise and prudent move.

"...Fifth brother, why did you ask Shang Bin to come in a hurry with the elephant troops at this time?" Zhu Di asked. He had been in northern Xinjiang for a long time and only knew the power of firecrackers and grenades, but he had no real experience. Pass new artillery. "Could it be that the things they brought can break the city?"

Just now, he wanted to take advantage of Timur's illness, take Timur's life, and take advantage of the situation to attack Samarkand at all costs. It was Zhu Su who stopped him.

There were cannons in the Yuan Dynasty BC, so when everyone thinks about it, the so-called cannons are similar to the Tiger Crouching Cannon previously studied by the Baoyuan Bureau, that is, they are used to kill and wound the enemy. Yao Guangxiao thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Could it be that His Highness wants to use hot air balloons to bomb Kangju City from the air and disrupt the city?"

"With all due respect to the humble monk, Kangju City is one of the few large cities here. Most of the people living in the city are local wealthy merchants and nobles. I, the Ming Dynasty, are not here just to grab land. How to govern it in the future is also a top priority."

"As the saying goes: It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to control it. If we blow up all the Kangju City, although we can easily do it, I, the Ming Dynasty, will probably make countless enemies... not to mention the many wealth in the city, which will also be destroyed. In the midst of war.”

Yao Guangxiao spoke sincerely. After today's victory, he was thinking not only about how to win, but also about how to achieve the greatest results after winning. How to best benefit the Ming Dynasty in governing this land was the focus of his thinking at this time.

It can be said that in Yao Guangxiao's mind, Samarkand was already in the Ming army's pocket.

Fei Ju, Zhang Dingbian and others also nodded, thinking that what Yao Guangxiao said was very reasonable. Although they are more like military generals and have not thought about how to govern in the future like literati, they still feel that it is a pity to bomb Samarkand and burn such a big city to the ground: they still hope to survive in this Timurid Empire. Enough goods have been obtained in the capital to make up for the rewards for the soldiers who accompanied the army on the expedition!

"I don't want to commit more crimes. I, the soldiers of tomorrow, are fighting crimes on behalf of heaven. How can I use such brutal siege methods?" Zhu Su said with a smile. "It's not about using hot air balloons, it's about using cannons to breach the city."

"Have you ever heard of the saying, 'One shot will destroy you for ten miles'?" Zhu Su smiled calmly.
