The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 437 Taking Alimtu
After listening, everyone nodded in agreement, feeling extremely excited. After all, who wouldn't want to take credit?
The sounds of fighting and firearms from the Ming army's occupation of Almaty lasted all night, terrifying the local residents.

When trouble broke out in this area, they instinctively assumed that it was an attack by the Timurid Khanate.

This city is located on the frontier and is a strategic point between the two countries. Although the relationship between the two countries is relatively good, mutual attacks and defenses in the border areas have become a habit.

They were used to fighting each other all the time.

When they went outside, they frowned as they looked at the flags hanging above. They had never seen such an army before and had no idea where they came from.

At first, they were very afraid of the sudden arrival of this powerful army. What if they were killed? The Mongol army had killed many people when they attacked.

However, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Ming army did not intend to plunder. They were very curious as to why the Ming army had appeared in this place.

After some conversation, they learned that this army came from the far east, the place where the Han and Tang dynasties once rose to power.

These people were shocked to hear this. Although their place was far removed from the Han and Tang dynasties, they had heard of the power of those two eras, especially the Anxi Protectorate which was located there at that time.

They would mediate conflicts between every tribe, and during the Tang Dynasty, a large number of troops were stationed here. It was for this reason that they longed for that era.

Although the Chagatai Khanate ruled this region for a long time, it mostly oppressed them.

It was precisely for this reason that they did not have much resistance to the arrival of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing how cooperative these people were, even Prince Yan, Zhu Di, was very shocked. Sure enough, the rule of the Han and Tang dynasties was still somewhat useful in governing this place. At least the current rule was not something that was particularly difficult for them to accept. He breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this place.

With the cooperation of these people, fighting the enemy will be much easier.

At this time, the Chagatai Khanate had gathered almost all of its available troops in the city of Ili. The general in charge was named Sutridamur, whose younger brother was Subidamur, the commander of the army that had been defeated by Li Wenzhong.

The previous battle caused his younger brother's personality to change drastically, and he even completely lost confidence in himself. Now he can only drown his sorrows in alcohol at home.

They even talked about how powerful the Ming Dynasty was every day. Hearing this, he was dismissive. No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, how powerful could it be? He didn't believe that the Ming Dynasty was invincible. This time, he was going to defeat the Ming Dynasty's army.

He imagined himself as a guardian deity of the Chagatai Khanate, and the thought filled him with pride, as if a wonderful life was about to begin.

At this time, the troops of Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong and others had already gathered at the foot of the city wall.

Looking at the city before them, they were shocked. In the past, there were many countries in the Western Regions, and these countries had also built their own capitals.

This city was probably just one of them. Looking at the tall and majestic city in front of him, even he felt a sense of awe.

"This city must be the largest in the entire Chagatai Khanate!"

The person next to him nodded after hearing this.

"That's true. The people of the Chagatai Khanate were used to living in yurts and had no idea how to build cities!"

"But this city is extraordinary. It was the capital of a previous kingdom, and after being defeated, it became the capital of the Chagatai Khanate!" "Although a long time has passed, it has not changed the city's fortification!"

Li Wenzhong nodded after hearing this.

"This city is indeed quite impressive. It seems like it would be a real shame to take it!"

The generals nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

In order to capture the city this time, Zhu Xiong Ying prepared a lot of gunpowder for him. The gunpowder was very powerful and could be said to be devastating. Once this gunpowder was put into the battlefield, these people would probably not be foolish enough to resist.

Li Wenzhong looked at the city wall in front of him and said.

"We can't wait any longer. We need to take this city as quickly as possible; we can't afford to waste time!"

The group nodded in agreement. The reason they had this idea was that their Ming Dynasty's Prince Yan, Zhu Di, was still guarding Almaty.

If anything were to happen to Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, their lives would likely be miserable.

When Su Tridamer saw that the Ming army had already begun its attack, he was extremely shocked. He had thought that the Ming army would need some time to launch an attack, but he did not expect it to start so quickly.

At this moment, a group of people appeared on the city wall. These people were the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate and a group of officials. They stood behind the city wall, trembling.

These were all suggestions from Sogdiana Damer.

Sutridamur's idea was to bring their Khan to this place to boost morale and let them know that the King was always with them.

In order to win this battle, Chagatai Khan agreed without hesitation.

Looking down at the well-disciplined Ming army, they were deeply shocked. These Ming soldiers were all clad in armor and equipped with all sorts of weapons, which made them feel extremely terrified.

At this moment, the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate swallowed hard and said...

"As expected of someone capable of defeating the cavalry of my Great Yuan Dynasty and reaching the place where my ancestors started their dynasty, their combat power is indeed extraordinary!"

"Can we really hold out? Is there any danger here?"

Upon hearing this, Su Tridamer burst into laughter.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there will absolutely be no problem!"

"These enemies may look scary, but they are no match for us. As long as I am here, we will definitely be able to defend this place!"

"The city is tall and sturdy. Even if their equipment is excellent, it will take them a long time to break in!"
