Chapter six hundred and fiftieth chapters anxious war
Timur rode on the horse, staring at the battle map in his hand with bloodshot eyes. In front of him was the Ming army's camp. During this period, he fought desperately to attack the Ming army's camp in order to destroy their main force after the Ming army's reinforcements came back.
Shaharu was indeed the bait that Timur threw out, and even Shaharu himself didn't know about this.
However, this cannot be blamed for Timur's cruelty. In his plan, if Shaharu could lead a 130,000 army to retreat smoothly, Timur would leave a judgment to fight the Ming army to the death according to the original plan.
However, if the Ming army sent troops to intercept Shaharu, it would definitely weaken their main army, which would also be a rare opportunity for Shaharu. So even though he knew that Shaharu would encounter an accident, he did not remind him, nor did he send troops to rescue him, but instead organized troops to counterattack the Ming army's camp.
It can be said that it is an open conspiracy. The key lies in how the Ming army chooses. So after the Ming army divided the troops, he immediately organized a large army to counterattack. As for the problem of low morale, Timur's solution was also easy, that is, to tell these soldiers that he had sent Shaharu to lead his troops back to the country, leaving only them to cut off the rear. If they did not want to die, they could only defeat the Ming army in front of them.
Of course, this situation of trapping in the Jedi alone is not enough to motivate these soldiers, so Timur told these people another cruel news, that is, before Shaharu returned, he ordered Shaharu to arrest all the soldiers and families who left behind. As long as they dared to surrender to the Ming Dynasty or did not obey the command, Shaharu would kill their entire family.
These soldiers who stayed behind had no idea that Shaharu would be intercepted by the Ming army, so after learning that his family was in danger and he was in a Jedi, they inspire the fighting spirit of these people and their morale suddenly increased. This is also the main reason why the Ming army was under such great pressure.
Of course, Timur's lies can only last for a while. If Song Sheng successfully intercepted Shaharu and came back with the captured Shaharu, coupled with the arrival of reinforcements, Timur's army that was cut off from behind would collapse immediately.
So in this case, Timur launched a fierce attack on the Ming army camp almost without sleep. As long as Song Sheng and the others could destroy the main force of the Ming army before Song Sheng and the others came back, they could turn around and destroy Song Sheng's army, and then they could turn defeat into victory.
It can be said that this is the only way for Timur to fight back against the Jedi, and because of the tight time, he has been attacking the Ming army camp in the past few days regardless of the cost.
However, what Timur did not expect was that although the Ming army drew some of its troops, the remaining troops were still very strong. He rushed into the Ming army camp several times, but was finally driven out.
Moreover, the Ming army's strategy was very obvious, but he couldn't defend it. He obviously wanted to wait until Song Sheng's army returned and two armies attacked him, so for Timur, he had no time left.
"Khan, the attack of the Northern Camp was blocked. Although the Ming army transferred reinforcements, the number was not large. It was obviously guarding us." At this time, a general came forward to report that the general was named Xijia, who was once the leader of Timur's personal guard. Later, Timur sent him as a general, and was loyal to him.
"I knew it would be like this!" Timur did not show any unexpected expression when he heard this. Then he ordered Xijia: "Give you an army of 80,000 and attack the rear of the Ming army. I don't believe they can still sit still and not send reinforcements!"
"Yes!" Xijia agreed and immediately took the order and left.
Timur lowered his head again and looked at the map in his hand. The map marked the Ming army camp and the surrounding terrain. The reason why he chose the Northern Army and the Hou Army as the direction of attack was that he found that the Ming army in these two areas was relatively weak. If the Ming army did not send reinforcements, he could completely invade the Ming army camp from these two directions.
The current location of Timur is on the south side of the Ming army camp. The terrain here is flat and very conducive to the impact of cavalry, so it was also selected by Timur as the main attack direction. It is of course the best if it can enter the Ming army camp from the Northern and Hou camps. If it is blocked, the Ming army will inevitably mobilize reinforcements from other battalions. At that time, it can take the opportunity to attack the Southern camp, making it difficult for the Ming army to take care of the head and tail.
It can be said that for this, some conspiracies are useless. Both sides understand the other's intentions, so there is only a pure strength competition. Although Timur has a disadvantage in weapons, he has an advantage in military strength after all, which allows him to calmly mobilize troops to besiege the Ming army camp.
An hour later, the Ming army's barracks also shook the sky and shone with the northern camp. At this time, the sky was already dark, but the war turned the black sky into blood red. Under the attack of two armies, some chaos also appeared in the Ming army's camp.
Under the attack of the two armies, the two armies attacking the Ming army camp also cooperated with each other and were very close to each other, which put a lot of pressure on the Ming army's North and Back Battalions. Even the defense lines in some places were broken, and the war also burned into the inside of the camp.
The situation is now very unfavorable to the Ming army. If the two armies cannot block the fierce attack, then the next line of defense will be broken. At that time, Timur's cavalry will enter the camp, which will only cause greater damage to the Ming army.
Even Timur may turn his head around and directly enter the Ming army camp from the position where he has broken through the defense line. At that time, both sides will start a decisive battle in the Ming army camp. Whether it is victory or loss in the end, the Ming army will pay a heavy price.
So now we must block Timur's army and we cannot let them enter the camp. But if we want to block them, we must draw troops from other places. After we draw troops, the defense lines in these places will become weak, giving Timur a chance to break through the defense lines in these places.
So now the Ming army is also facing a dilemma, either they sit and watch the camp be broken, or they have to cut down the defenders from other directions and draw troops to support the North and Hou camps.
Timur, who was guarding outside the southern camp, also quietly looked at the Ming army camp in the distance. As long as the other party had any abnormal movement, he could make a judgment at any time.
However, what Timur never expected was that just when the Beiying and Houying were about to be captured, the Ming army of the Beiying suddenly retreated and rushed to the Houying next to it. The two battalions' army joined forces and quickly repelled the enemy army of the Houying.
As for the Northern Camp, they were completely thrown to Timur's army, and they established a new line of defense at the connection between the Northern Camp and other camps. In other words, the Ming army simply cut off their tails to survive and directly threw the entire Northern Camp to Timur.
