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

Chapter 499 A Missed Opportunity

"Could it be that they were transferred from another battlefield?"

The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory and a very long battlefront.

If all the troops from other places were to be recalled, it would probably take a very long time, and other places would also be affected.

So he thought it was unlikely, but now that the facts were in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.

At this moment of utter helplessness, Asagay sighed. In this situation, all he could do was try his best to maintain stability and wait for reinforcements. Thinking of this, he looked at the group of soldiers beside him and said.

"Order the follow-up troops to regroup with the front-line troops, and as for the front-line troops, launch a counterattack!"

The general standing nearby looked on incredulously upon hearing this, knowing that the enemy was attacking the soldiers outside.

They're too busy running away to even think about getting them to counterattack. It's not going to be easy. They might be finished once the troops in this camp have assembled.

"General, you absolutely mustn't! Those are our most elite troops. If we lose them here, His Majesty will surely not forgive us when we return!"

Asagayar felt somewhat annoyed upon hearing this.

But apart from that, he really couldn't think of any other way.

"Then what do you suggest I do? With the enemy army pressing in, is there any better way?"

Upon hearing this, the group lowered their heads and remained silent. They knew very well that there was no other suitable solution, and this was the only option they had. They all sighed.

Soon the camp gates were closed, and the troops inside regrouped, while outside, the soldiers of the Lisidan Kingdom complained bitterly.

"Now that the gates are closed, they have absolutely no chance of escaping!"

Thinking of this, they gritted their teeth in hatred.

"What does it mean?"

"We were fighting tooth and nail outside, and they just shut the door!"

Just then, a general on the city wall shouted.

"Brothers outside the city, the general is currently reorganizing the troops. I believe we will be able to launch a counterattack soon. Please wait for half an hour!"

The soldiers outside, upon hearing these words, were filled with rage.

On the battlefield, the success or failure of an event can often be determined in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Making them wait for so long, what's the difference between that and sending them to their deaths?" a soldier outside the city said angrily.

"Generals, we are fighting for our country. If we wait outside for so long, countless soldiers will die in battle. Can you bear to see that?"

The generals inside were filled with shame upon hearing these words; they were at a loss as to what to do.

But apart from that, they really couldn't think of any other way.

Seeing the general on the city wall remain silent, he knew very well that this matter was unavoidable.

The soldiers outside the city sighed and said through gritted teeth.

"Brothers, we have no other choice now. If we continue like this, we'll all be doomed. Let's fight them to the death!"

Some of the more courageous soldiers charged forward and clashed with the Ming army.

Lan Yu was somewhat surprised to see this situation; he hadn't expected that the generals inside would be so willing to make such a drastic decision.

Not bad, not bad. This guy does know a thing or two. It's just a pity that things have developed to this point, and he can't just hide from it anymore.

"Order the soldiers to clear a path, the rest of you follow me and kill them!"

Upon hearing this, the Ming army charged forward. However, a path was left between the two armies. Although the path was not wide, it gave them hope. The soldiers were extremely excited, forgetting all thoughts of fighting, and desperately pumped their energy towards this path of survival. Why fight to the death when there was a way to live? So at this moment, they no longer bothered to resist.

Before long, the front lines were broken up, and Asagayah, watching this scene from the city wall, couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"These damned Ming people are full of tricks. Now that they've cleared the way, we're afraid we'll have a hard time achieving our goal!"

"It won't be long before these people arrive directly at the foot of the camp!"

Asagayah sighed as he looked at the troops in his hands.

"How about it?"

How many troops have we assembled?

A general looked at the troops in his hands and said.

"We've gathered a small portion, about a third of them!"

Asagay sighed deeply, gritting his teeth as he watched the Ming army advancing into the distance.

These Ming Dynasty troops are truly despicable, giving me absolutely no time to react.

"If only I had a little more time, things wouldn't be like this now," he said, taking a deep breath.

"It's no use, it's too late. Let the rest of the troops continue to reorganize!"

"Let's lead our troops out first, otherwise, if they attack and break through, we'll be finished. Also, send out more troops to request reinforcements. We underestimated the enemy's strength. The central army has the most troops, so let them come to our aid quickly!"

After the orders were issued, many soldiers who had stabilized began to fight back.

Lan Yu clicked his tongue in amazement upon seeing this. He never expected that the Delhi Sultanate would have such a general. Not bad, not bad. It seems that their sand has not been idiotic during this period.

However, if we're talking about strength, the army of my Great Ming Dynasty is absolutely second to none. Brothers, follow me and fight!

Upon hearing this, the Ming army immediately charged into the area.

The two armies clashed instantly.

At this moment, the dilapidated camp resembled a giant war machine, with soldiers from both sides constantly clashing here.

Since the mission was to attack, Lan Yu did not bring any artillery or similar equipment; all of his equipment was light.

For the time being, their advantages were indeed difficult to leverage.

Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment and looked at Lan Yu before speaking.

"General, perhaps we should leave for now!"

"The enemy's numbers are not much fewer than ours!"

"Moreover, we don't have superior artillery support. If this continues, we're afraid we'll suffer heavy losses!"

Lan Yu snorted coldly after hearing this.

"Can't you see that the enemy's lines are already in disarray?"

"Now is the best opportunity."

"Once you miss this opportunity, it won't be easy to get another one!"

"This time, no matter what, we must cripple this group of enemies in front of us!"

"Although our Ming Dynasty has powerful firearms, our Ming Dynasty army is not made of clay. Without cannons, do you think you can't fight?"
