Daming Military Empire

Chapter 525

The Ming army is simply too terrifying. If it is not activated, it will be thunderous and overwhelming, making it impossible for people to resist. Only now did Sultan realize that he was played by the Earl of Trafford.

The Ming Empire is in danger of protecting itself, and the Ming army is impossible to fight over. They are all deceitful people. They are using him as a weapon.

Looking at the scattered thousands of cavalrymen behind him, Sultan just felt a burst of chills rushing into his mind. If Mr. Ta Qi found out about the tricks between him and the Earl of Trafford, he would be hacked into pieces. It's easy, you have to know that all of this was caused by his greed!
He secretly made up his mind that if he could go back alive this time, he must kill all the cronies, followers, and servants who had seen the Earl of Trafford that night. If the news leaked out, his ending would be extremely miserable.

At this time, the city of Farah was already in sight, and Sultan calmed down and led his army straight to the city of Farah.

The city of Farah is about [-] miles away from Kandahar. It is an important border defense town in the east of the Persian Safavid Empire. Persia is not like Daming, where there are cities everywhere. Even a small county town has a wall. They don’t have as many people as the Ming Empire. Only cities equivalent to provincial capitals will build cities.

After escaping here, Sultan did not dare to escape, because there are only three cities between Kandahar and the Persian capital Isfahan, and except for the city of Farah, which just blocked the only way to Isfahan, the other two None of the cities are on the route from Kandahar to Isfahan. The Ming army can ignore it and go straight to Isfahan!

While cleaning up the remnants and defeated generals in the city of Farah, he sent someone to urgently report to Lord Taqi in Isfahan. More than 30 Ming troops came out and launched a sneak attack.

He didn't dare to tell the truth, and he didn't dare to spread too much panic. He could only exaggerate the number of enemy troops to prove that it wasn't that he was incompetent, but that the enemy was too powerful.

The Ming army was indeed very powerful. If it hadn't been for the consideration that the encirclement on all sides might prompt the Persian soldiers to fight desperately and cause too many casualties, Sultan might not be able to escape.

After attacking the camp and defeating the Persian army, Qin Yiming and Yang Zhong began to lead the cavalry to hunt down the fleeing Persian soldiers endlessly, while Hou Shilu led the infantry to slowly clean up the battlefield and advance slowly.

For a time, the entire wasteland between Kandahar and Farah was full of fleeing Persian soldiers and Ming cavalry chasing, and the drama of fleeing and chasing frantically was happening all the time.

This chasing and fleeing scene lasted for five full days before it ended. There were no traces of the Persian rout on the wasteland, and Hou Shilu had led nearly 20 infantry soldiers to the city of Farah.

Sultan's defeat this time was a disaster. The 20 army he led was defeated without even hurting a single hair of the Ming army, and then he was chased by the Ming army cavalry all the way. Not only did he lose all food and grass In terms of luggage, nearly 10 horses were lost, and only a hundred thousand people fled back to the city of Farah in the end!
10 people defended the city, and less than 20 infantry attacked. According to this ratio, it should be difficult for the Ming army to capture Farah City.

However, almost all the artillery of the Persian army was lost in the original camp. How could the original hundreds of cannons in the city of Farah be the opponent of the Ming army.

Hou Shilu was not in a hurry to attack, but mobilized more than a thousand artillery, and launched an intensive run and bombardment on the west wall of Farah City.

The range of the Persian artillery was originally inferior to that of the Ming army. Coupled with the difference in numbers, they had no power to fight back.

Seeing that the arrow stacks were slowly being flattened, the female wall was also riddled with holes, and the western city wall was about to turn into a bald spot, Sultan became more and more anxious.

When he fled to Farah City, he sent an urgent report to the imperial capital, and the Prime Minister Taqi gave instructions to stick to Farah City.

When the Ming army approached the city, he sent an urgent report to the imperial capital. The Ming army's shells were like rain. Sooner or later, the west wall would be destroyed. He couldn't hold it at all!

The distance from Farah City to Isfahan is more than 1000 miles. Even if the horse is fast and the horse whips around day and night, it will take nearly four days to go back and forth. Therefore, the arrow stacks on the west wall are almost flattened, and he has not received instructions from the imperial capital. .

In fact, the Ming army did not encircle Farah City, but gathered in the west of the city and bombarded it with artillery. He could escape completely. If he only brought cavalry and ran day and night, he would be able to escape back to Iraq in just two days. Sfahan.

However, how dare he run? Now there are less than 8 cavalry left in Farah City. Even if they all fled back to Isfahan with him, what about the infantry? It is impossible for the Ming army to run on two legs. It is impossible for more than 1000 infantry to run for more than [-] miles to escape the pursuit of the Ming army!

He came out with a main force of 20, but when he returned, there were only less than [-] remnants left. He couldn't imagine how miserable the ending would be, so he didn't dare to run back, even if he died here, it would be better than fleeing back.

A good man’s life is not long, and a scourge lasts for thousands of years. When Sultan was in panic all day long, the instructions from the imperial capital finally arrived.

What Sultan was waiting for was this sentence. How could he stand up to this situation? As soon as he received the order, he immediately asked people to hold a white flag to go out of the city to find the Ming army and ask for peace talks.

Hou Shilu and the others were also waiting for this sentence, but they didn't expect that the Persian Empire would be overwhelmed so soon.

Peace talks can be considered, but the consent of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire must be obtained. Hou Shilu made such a reply on behalf of the Ming army.

Immediately afterwards, he sent people back to Kandahar and sent a telegram to the emperor who was far away in Jiayuguan.

Zhu Cijiong was overjoyed when he received the telegram. The Hamiwei had just dealt with the Wacha allied forces, and the South Asian side had beaten the Persian Safavid Empire to sue for peace. It was great!
He immediately responded that peace talks are possible. The Ming Empire will send peace talks representatives to the Ming army camp outside Farah City. If they want peace talks, they will send representatives to the Ming army camp for talks.

Then, he sent a telegram to Zheng Zhilong who was far away in Xingcheng Port, asking him to represent the Ming Empire to negotiate peace with the Persian Safavid Empire. As for the request, it was very simple: the Persian Empire must cede the long and narrow piece of land between Kandahar and the Ottoman Empire. If you don't cede land, Daming won't retreat!
Zheng Zhilong is also idle during this time. Daming has devoted his energy to the war against Tsarist Russia in the north for the past two years. There is almost nothing going on in the south, especially at sea. He can only catch those who come The officials of the vassal state who are doing business are bragging and urging them to promote Sinology, dragon coins, Chongzheng Tongbao, etc., which is very boring.

Now I finally have something to do, and it is still his favorite peace talks, peace talks are good, especially the peace talks that require others to cede land and pay compensation is his favorite.

The emperor's will also suits his appetite very much, if he does not cede the land, Daming will not retreat, cool!
