My Daming New Empire

Even if these people run away, there is nowhere to escape.

Letting them escape now can only delay their doomsday.

Slowing down the attack speed can effectively reduce sacrifices. In Zhu Di's view, the lives of Ming soldiers are much more precious than those of Timurids.

When the soldiers of Ming Dynasty had already firmly occupied the advantage of Xicheng, nearly [-] Indian auxiliary troops were used.

Under the guidance of the hang gliding soldiers and the leadership of the servants, they went to occupy the granaries and sheep flocks in the city that had already been observed clearly.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty only attacked fortifications, killed people, and did not care about looting.And the task of these Indian soldiers is to plunder and rob people.

According to the rules Zhu Di made for them, [-]% of the supplies and gold and silver they robbed can be kept, [-]% can be divided among combat troops, and the remaining [-]% will be confiscated.

But in reality, not many of them can fall into their hands.Because they want to sell one to their princes, and they can keep [-]%.

But gold and silver are still a scourge for them. Before leaving the Ming army, they will use the gold and silver to buy goods or weapons of Ming. Only in this way, these wealth will be their own.

With the supervision of the inner prisoner, they are not afraid that they will hide gold and silver privately. How much gold and silver each of them has on them has long been known by the inner prisoner of the team leader.

People in the military camp have no privacy at all, and they can't hide even if they want to.

In fact, in order to keep the gold and silver, they will turn in all the gold and silver, and the internal supervisor will issue them a bill.With this bill, you can exchange for the corresponding supplies when you return to Kochi.

So in terms of cost, Daming recruited so many people this time, and the cost was pitifully small.

The city of Herat was breached at dawn, but it took two full days to clear and occupy it.

Except for a small half of people who fled in haste on horseback, most of them became dead or captured by guns.

However, most of the people here are poor and female dependents. Because Shah Ruh attaches great importance to literati, scholars and craftsmen, most of the scholars have already been transferred to the northwest region of Khorasan and the Kabul region.

The emergence of muskets has changed the mode of warfare today.

As the admiral of the Jingwei, Zhang Chang's main task is to assist Zhu Di in managing the Jingwei and defend Zhu Di's safety.

From the day of the expedition, nearly a year has passed, and until today, I have the opportunity to lead the expedition alone.

He knew very well that he was not someone with outstanding talents. He was able to become the admiral of the Jingwei mainly because of his sister's honor.

When he was in the capital, he had always been a low-key man, never causing trouble to the royal family, and behaved according to his duty.

But in his heart, there is also a heart to make contributions.

Now he leads the Jinwu Guard, Fujun Guard, and Teng Xiang Guard to clear and suppress the fleeing enemy troops. This is a good opportunity for the emperor to reward him for his hard work.

He knew that his talents were limited, and he also knew that he hadn't really adapted to the tactics of the new musket.

However, because Jingwei defended the capital, although they were the first to switch to muskets, they were also not good at field tactics.

However, he has a good son.

Zhang Wu received the most advanced military education at Habayashi School, and followed Zhu Zhanji to experience the war in Japan, the war in Nanyang, North Africa, Crete, and North Africa.

Even if he is a pig, he has been taught.What's more, not only is he not a pig, but he is also very smart.

The city of Herat is located in the valley to the south of the Hindu Kush Mountains, with only flat passages from east to west, with plateaus to the south and mountains to the north.

But in the Hindu Kush Mountains, there is a Karosh Valley, which leads directly to the plains in the north.

Zhang Chang's task is to guard the valley and intercept the enemies fleeing north.

Under Zhang Wu's arrangement, they buried an ambush of 500 people at the mouth of the valley. This ambush was all infantry and carried more than 2000 meters of barbed wire.

At the exit of the valley, two 500-meter barbed wire fences were also arranged here.

More than [-] cavalry were divided into four groups, two groups hid on the top of the mountain, and two groups guarded the entrance and exit of the valley.

From early in the morning, under the leadership of Zhang Wu, these soldiers dug a trench more than one meter wide behind the valley, and set up barbed wire in front of the trench.

The explosion in Herat city announced the beginning of the war, but they did not expect that in less than an hour, a large group of people fled into the valley in a hurry.

Because of the large number of people, there was no way for the [-] soldiers staying at Taniguchi to intercept them, and they could not resist the continuous gathering of broken soldiers from the rear.

Before noon, more than 10 people poured into the valley.

At this time, let alone Zhang Chang, even Zhang Wu was a little dumbfounded.

According to their estimation, the northwest where the roads are more open should be the main direction for the enemy to flee, because that is the granary in the Khorasan area.

Moreover, the northwest direction is also the most fertile area of ​​the Timur Kingdom, and there are high mountains blocking it.

In the northeast direction, apart from some fertile fields at the northern foot of the Hindu Kush Mountains, there is an uninhabited desert.

Because of this miscalculation, most of the cavalry from Shenji Battalion and Jingwei were deployed there, and there were only 1 Jingwei here.

But now, their 1 people have to face the impact of more than [-] fleeing enemies.

Zhang Chang was a little guilty, but Zhang Wu was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. He said to his father: "Father, don't worry, the enemy is already cold, and there are no guns. Although we only have 11 people, everyone has a gun. No matter how many people there are, they will only give us military merit.”

"One hundred thousand cavalry..."

"Father, please give an order to start harassment at the mouth of the valley, so that the enemy will not dare to enter again. As long as our 1 people resist the first wave of the enemy's impact, there are high mountains on both sides, and the horse cannot walk. The enemy is the food in the bowl. .”

As soon as Zhang Chang gritted his teeth and waved his big hand, a soldier released a rocket into the sky.Afterwards, every two miles, a rocket was launched into the sky. The valley was less than thirty miles long, and the news quickly spread to the entrance of the valley.

The soldiers guarding the mountain did not dare to slack off any longer, so they could only form two long dragon formations, descended from the mountain, and sealed the valley entrance.

Seeing the Ming soldiers, the fleeing crowd did not dare to enter the valley again, and fled in other directions.

Escorting the comatose Shahru's Fireman, and his second son, Prince Abulfat Ibrah, third son, Prince Besunhu, fourth son, Prince Suyuerghatmishi, and fifth son, Prince Muhammad Juqi Seeing the rocket take off, he already knew that he and his party had entered a trap.

But they don't care about these things at all now, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, which is their only hope now.

They just shrunk their formation slightly, transferred Shaharu, who was at the forefront, to the central army, and then charged forward bravely.

In front of them, there are four rows of barbed wire fences that have been stretched out. These barbed wire fences with hanging barbs are stretched out in a circle, and some places in the middle are fixed with wooden stakes.

Behind the barbed wire fence is a trench more than one meter wide. Because there are too many enemies, there are still thousands of Ming soldiers who don't care about anything and are digging a second trench.

The enemy rushed forward in despair, standing in the front left, Zhang Wu, who was protected by several armored hands, raised his right arm high, staring at the mark made in front of him.

Although the musket has a range of 200 meters, it can only exert its maximum power within 100 meters.

The best time to shoot is when the barbed wire traps the enemy's progress.

Zhang Chang did not ride a horse, but stood on the hillside, looking down at the surging enemies.Seeing that his son was as immobile as a mountain, without the slightest fear, he couldn't help sighing that the little baby who was crying loudly back then had really grown up.

The enemy's horses hit the first barbed wire fence, even if some horses escaped the first one, they could not escape the second one, let alone Zhang Wu arranged four.
