Chapter 905 Destroy the Four Kingdoms(1/2)

After Chen De came out, he immediately shouted:

"Quickly, dig out all the soldiers below..."

Without waiting for Zhu Cixi's order, the young generals started to take action and quickly dug out all the soldiers who lit the fuse.

Unfortunately, nine soldiers were killed. Most of them were crushed to death by pit landslides, and a few were killed by explosions...

Looking at the fallen soldiers, Zhu Cixiang couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but there was no one who wouldn't die in a war, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

The fallen soldiers were ordered to be buried on the spot, and monuments were erected for them. They were then taken back to the Loyal Soul Shrine so that future generations would always remember the names of the heroes.

Afterwards, Mao Yuanyi was responsible for counting the troops. There were more than 1,500 casualties in this battle, mostly during the pursuit of the coalition forces.

Only a dozen people died in the battle, nine of whom were killed by explosives, and only a few were killed by the coalition forces.

The casualties of more than 1,000 people were exchanged for the casualties of more than 200,000 coalition forces. This is definitely a miracle in military history, and it is also a huge advantage of hot weapons over cold weapons.

Zhu Cihong handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to more than 20,000 coalition prisoners, leaving more than 10,000 people to guard them, and then led his army back to the Ming army camp.

This time the Ming army gained a lot, acquiring more than 60,000 intact horses, 80,000 injured horses, and tens of thousands of killed horses...

Zhu Cixang sent an order that uninjured and slightly injured horses should be fed well, and severely injured horses should be slaughtered and made into dried meat together with dead horses, which would be used as military rations in the future. This amount of horse meat would be enough for the Ming army to eat for more than a month...

This victory shattered the illusions of the coalition forces and basically destroyed the Kazakh Khanate. They had no soldiers left to fight.

Returning to the military camp, Zhu Cixiang gave orders to light a fire and cook to celebrate the soldiers.

After resting for two days, we marched towards the capital of the Kazakh Khanate...

During the two days of rest, battle reports came from Ming armies everywhere...

Maozi, who made a sneak attack on Zhungar and Oirat, was completely wiped out by the combined forces of the Ming army and Mongolian cavalry.

Subsequently, 90,000 cavalry from the two countries entered the Kazakh steppe to support the Ming army. Almost at the same time, more than 100,000 cavalry from Monan Mongolia also entered the Kazakh steppe ten days ago.

During the fierce battle between the coalition forces and the Ming army, more than 200,000 Mongolian cavalry swept through the stragglers of the Khanate on the Kazakh grasslands.

It can be said that at this time, except for the tens of thousands of troops in the capital of Turkestan, the vast Kazakh steppe was dominated by the Ming army.

When Zhu Cihong saw the battle report, he smiled. It was a good idea to use the Mongolian cavalry to attack the Kazakh Khanate. Otherwise, the Ming army would have to disperse to clear them out.

After breakfast on the third day, the Ming army marched towards Turkestan under Zhu Cihong's order.

On the fourth day, four armies arrived at the gates of Turkestan and surrounded the capital of the Kazakh Khanate.

They originally wanted to use the coalition forces to destroy the invading Ming army and gain access to the fertile Ili River Valley, but unexpectedly they suffered a disastrous defeat.

At this time, the Kazakh Khan Yangir Khan beat his chest and feet with regret...

They had long heard that the Ming Dynasty was powerful, but under Mao Zi's instigation, they still did not take the Ming Dynasty's army seriously.

After the Yarkand Khanate was destroyed, it was believed that the Ming army was at the end of its strength and was incapable of threatening the Kazakh Khanate.

The most hateful thing is Golovin. With his lobbying, the Five-Nation Alliance was formed.

Fortunately, the coalition forces were wiped out by the Ming army in one battle. The Chechen Khan died in the battle, the Kho Shuo Khan died in the battle, the Mughal general was also killed, and the Allied commander Golovin disappeared.

Now that the capital of Kazakhstan is besieged, how can the more than 50,000 troops in Turkestan City resist the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops?

In order to prevent the Khanate from being destroyed, Yangir Khan decided to send envoys out of the city to negotiate with the Ming army.

After questioning for a long time, no one dared to negotiate with the Ming army, so they could only force Prime Minister Alka to negotiate with the Ming army.

The poor old Kazakh prime minister, who is almost seventy years old this year, stumbled to the front of the Ming army camp with two guards.

Seeing three people coming in front of the camp, the Ming army on duty shouted loudly:

"Who is that person? Stop moving forward, otherwise, he will be killed without mercy."

Alka shivered in fright, hurriedly clasped his fists and said:

"We are the envoys of the Kazakh Khanate. We request to meet with the general of the Ming Army. Please let me know."

"Hold on!"

After saying this, the Ming army turned around and went in to report:

"Your Majesty, there is a Kazakh envoy outside the camp asking to see you!"

Zhu Cixiang is having a meeting with the generals to discuss how to conquer Turkestan City!

When they heard that the envoys from the Kazakh Khanate were coming, they couldn't help but shake their heads:

"How long has it been since you first thought of negotiating?"

But now that he was here, Zhu Cixi still wanted to see what the envoy from the Kazakh Khanate had to say.

"Let him in!"

"Here!"

The soldiers of the Ming army received the order and turned around to leave the camp.

Soon, the white-haired old prime minister of the Khanate walked tremblingly into the Chinese army's tent and bowed to the emperor Shenwu above him:

"The envoy of the Kazakh Khanate, see General Ming..."

Seeing that the old man was only bowing and saluting without paying homage, the young generals shouted:

"Bold old man, why don't you kneel down when you see Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty?"

"ah……"

Alka was shocked. Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty actually led the expedition himself. No wonder the Ming army was all like mad dogs...

The thought flashed past, and Alka hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed:

"The envoy of the Kazakh Khanate pays homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor..."

Zhu Cixiang looked at the old man in front of him coldly, Alka's back felt cold when he saw it, and he forgot what he was doing...

After a moment, Zhu Cihong slowly spoke:

"Who are you and why did you come to the Ming Army Camp?"

Only then did the old man remember the purpose of his coming and said hurriedly:

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I am the Prime Minister of the Kazakh Khanate and have come to negotiate on the orders of the Great Khan!"

"negotiation?"

Hearing the word negotiation, Zhu Cixiang couldn't help laughing:

"Hahaha, the Ming army has surrounded Turkestan. Do you think the Kazakh Khanate still has bargaining chips? Unconditional surrender is your best choice!"

After Zhu Cihong said this, before Alka could react, he waved his hand gently:

"see a visitor out!"

Alka said hurriedly:

"His Majesty the Ming Emperor, the Great Khan has said that we can negotiate on any terms..."

The Kazakh Khanate will soon belong to the Ming Dynasty, what is there to talk about?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that the old guy was still chattering, Li Erniu stepped forward quickly, grabbed his collar, and said with a smile:

"Come here, strip him naked and drive him out!"

If it weren't for Alka's age, Li Erniu would have kicked him away.

Alka trembled with fear. He was very old. If he was stripped naked and thrown out of the military camp, how could he have the dignity to live in the world?

"No, no, His Majesty the Ming Emperor doesn't want it..."

The old guy hurriedly rolled out of the military camp, got up and left in a hurry. This was the first time in decades that he had suffered such an insult.

After returning, he told Yang Gilhan truthfully what Emperor Shenwu said.

When Yang Gilhan heard this, he almost fell down:

"It's over, the Kazakh Khanate is over..."

"Rumble..."

Yang Gilhan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, circling around in the hall, when suddenly there was a violent sound of cannon outside.

The Ming army began to bombard the city wall with artillery. The rumbling sound of the artillery frightened the Tatars in the city into panic...

Due to the living habits of the nomadic people, there are no tall city walls at all. The same is true in Turkestan. Yang Gilhan knew very well that the Ming army would soon open the city gate.

In order to survive, the Great Khan of the Kazakh Khanate sighed and had no choice but to declare surrender.

"Look, Your Majesty, the white flag is flying in the city!"

Seeing the white flag raised at the top of the city, Mao Yuanyi hurriedly reported to Zhu Cihong!

Zhu Cixiang did not expect that the Ming army only fired a few cannons, and soon white flags flew on the city walls. Yang Gilhan surrendered directly, and he was actually more afraid of death than Asan...

Zhu Cixi couldn't help but shook his head:

"A bunch of cowards, they don't even give a fight. They are so spineless. How can I massacre the city like this?"

When Li Erniu saw the emperor talking like this, he chuckled:
To be continued...
