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

Chapter 438 Chagatai Generals

"Given such a long time, the surrounding reinforcements, and even the Timurid Khanate, must have already made preparations and will definitely come to our aid!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate breathed a sigh of relief.

"I believe in General Sotri Damer, you are the most powerful general in my Chagatai Khanate!"

Upon hearing this, the general was extremely pleased with himself. If this matter were to spread, his reputation would surely be greatly enhanced. Just then, the Ming army began its attack.

At this moment, the Ming soldiers placed many explosive charges on their catapults.

After the explosive charges were lit, they were launched directly using a catapult.

When everyone saw these things flying over, they were startled and hurriedly dodged. However, the things that hit them did not cause much pain, which puzzled them greatly.

Catapults typically release various kinds of stones, which can crush a person half to death as soon as they fly down.

Why does this thing seem so ineffective now? Does it mean that the Ming army simply doesn't know how to use catapults?

Sutridamer was extremely disdainful when he saw what was being thrown at him. He had thought the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, but now it seemed that it was nothing special. Chagatai Khan, who was standing next to him, said in a puzzled tone.

"What does the Ming Dynasty mean by this?"

At that moment, the general said smugly.

"Please rest assured, Great Khan, this area is mostly sand, with no stones at all. Even if they wanted to use these catapults to attack, they wouldn't have the capability. I think they really have no other choice but to do this!"

"However, all their efforts are doomed to failure; nothing will go wrong!"

However, before they could finish speaking, a loud bang startled them, leaving them wondering what had happened.

Sogristdamer, who was standing nearby, was also stunned, as he had never heard this voice before.

It sounded like thunder from the heavens in anger, which startled them.

When they stood up, all they saw was smoke and fire; the cloth bag had exploded.

The sound was extremely loud, and a section of the city wall where the explosion occurred had collapsed. Sogdiana Merl's face was extremely grim.

This incident acted as a fuse, and one by one, the thrown cloth bags exploded.

The soldiers on the city wall were instantly covered in dust and dirt from the explosion, and they scattered in panic. As for resistance, they no longer thought about it. At this point, just being able to save their lives was a very difficult thing.

As for resistance, they dared not even think about it.

The Khan said angrily.

"This is what you call safety? If this is considered safe, then there's no dangerous place in the world!"

Sogdiana Merl's face was extremely pale; he didn't know how to explain the situation.

I never imagined that the Ming Dynasty would be so powerful now.

He sighed and said.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed some danger here. Please leave for the time being. I will guard this place, and there will be absolutely no problem!"

The Khan snorted coldly. Although he had some doubts about the general's words, he had no choice but to believe him now; there was really no other way. He didn't care about the morale of the army anymore; he just wanted to get out of this place and save his own life.

After realizing what this place was all about, he immediately fled.

Looking at the situation below, Su Tridamer's expression was complicated. He felt a little regretful. If he had known that the Ming army was so powerful, he shouldn't have taken on this task. Now he was in trouble.

If the city were to fall, he feared he would become a sinner. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.

He commanded his troops to block the gap, but the Ming army showed no intention of charging. Instead, they continued to bombard the area with these cloth bundles.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of various cannons began to emerge.

A series of deafening roars erupted, terrifying the people in the city. They had never experienced anything like it before.

Not long afterward, the once tall and majestic city walls began to show many flaws.

There have been several landslides, which has caused great panic among them. No one expected such a thing to happen.

The Ming army surged in like a tidal wave. The general standing nearby was terrified at the sight and hurriedly said...

"General, what should we do next?"

Although Su Tridamer was somewhat panicked, he knew very well that he had no way out. Retreating now would have unimaginable consequences. Thinking of this, he sighed deeply and said…

We have no way out now; only by defeating these enemies in front of us can we have any chance of survival!

"Order the brothers to block the breach. Under no circumstances can we let the Ming army break in. If we can't stop them, we'll disperse into the city and fight in the streets. I refuse to believe that we can be bullied by them on our own turf!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Then, blocking the entrance to the cave, the Ming army, armed with muskets, charged directly into the opening.

In such close-quarters combat, only their bows and arrows could still play a certain role; everything else was completely useless and they were utterly crushed.

Seeing this scene, they felt a wave of despair. No one had expected that the Ming army would be so powerful.

The leading general shouted loudly.

"Hold on! Hold on for me!"

However, the Chagatai Khanate's cavalry had already been battered and bruised by the earlier cannon fire, and at this point, they showed no sign of wanting to resist, and all hid away.

Soon, Li Wenzhong's troops charged straight in, and the two armies had no choice but to fight a fierce battle inside the city.

Urban warfare is the most resource-intensive.

In this situation, their weapons were of little use. Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong looked at the situation at the front line with an extremely grim expression. He never expected that the soldiers of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate would do such a thing.

This gave them a bit of a headache.

"Luckily, I had the secret weapon His Highness the Crown Prince gave me, otherwise the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain!"

Those around them nodded in agreement. It turned out that in addition to their muskets, Zhu Xiong Ying had also equipped them with a number of firearms.
