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

Chapter 505: Open Plank Road
At this moment, the emperor of the Delhi Sultanate took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Now that the enemy's army has reached our capital twice, we have lost all face. So there is nothing to worry about.

This time, no matter what, we cannot allow Lan Yu to invade the capital again.

Lan Yu set up camps around the city, and now he looked at the city in front of him with a furrowed brow.

It seems they've learned their lesson this time.

This city is much taller and more fortified than the last one; it won't be so easily swallowed up. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.

They were thinking about how to take this place.

At this moment, Lu Xiang-sheng, who was standing to the side, thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Duke of Liang, we don't have many troops. If we launch a direct attack, even if all our troops arrive on time, we may not be able to take down this tall and sturdy city!"

"Moreover, we don't have enough engineering equipment, and they probably have a lot of reinforcements around here. If they all come to support us, we definitely won't be able to hold out for long with the troops we have now!"

Lan Yu sighed after hearing this. He understood perfectly well what Lu Xiang Sheng was saying. If he hadn't been so weak last time and worried about being surrounded, he could have killed him again. But things had already turned out this way.

Having already arrived at the building's entrance, he felt somewhat unwilling to leave without saying a word.

Just then, Lu Xiang-sheng smiled and said.

"If the Duke of Liang is not too worried about this matter, I do have a plan that might be able to deal with it!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu's eyes lit up.

"Oh? General Lu Xiang-sheng, do you have any good plans? Tell me quickly, and if they succeed, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Now that he has spoken his mind, the Duke of Liang must be very pleased to hear it."

"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, the person he has chosen is indeed quite capable. This plan is excellent. In that case, let's proceed according to the plan!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiang-sheng smiled and nodded, then turned to begin making arrangements for the matter.

At this moment, Lan Yu looked at the generals under his command and was filled with emotion.

Back then, he studied military strategy with Chang Yuchun and won many great victories, including capturing the emperor of Beiyuan in the Battle of Buyur Lake.

His reputation soared.

I thought there weren't many generals in Dalian who were similar to me, but now it seems that these younger generation are indeed quite capable. Lu Xiang-sheng is one example, as are Wang Bi and Mu Ying beside him.

Adding to the few youngsters that Zhu Xiong Ying had brought before, if they can grow up, they will also achieve great things in the future. At that time, the entire Ming Dynasty will surely be filled with brilliant generals. After thinking of this, he nodded proudly.

The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate had been living in constant fear, dreading the day when the Ming army would storm the palace and his life would be in danger.

So during this period, he arrested almost all the able-bodied men in Suzhou, including us.

Fearing a food shortage, they even gathered all the grain in the city together, although the powerful families had some complaints.

However, they were very clear in their hearts that their greatest enemy now was Lan Yu.

If Lan Yu's army were to occupy the capital of the Delhi Sultanate, they would likely all meet a terrible end, and their families, which they had painstakingly built up over the years, might be wiped out.

This has caused immense suffering to the people, and now they have only one thought in their minds: that this battle will end quickly so that they can be relieved.

At this moment, the general guarding the city arrived at the palace.

Upon seeing the general guarding the city arrive in Delhi, the Sultan of the Sultan hurriedly spoke.

"what happened?"

"Has something happened at the front? Have Lan Yu and his men already attacked the city?"

The general guarding the city shook his head upon hearing this.

"No, we don't know what happened with Lan Yu, but they didn't directly attack the city. Instead, they built large-scale engineering machinery outside!"

"Those engineering machines are much larger than any we've ever seen before. If they really finish building them, I'm afraid our city walls might not be able to hold!"

The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate was extremely anxious upon hearing this, and he looked at the general with great displeasure.

What has gotten so serious?

Why didn't you say so sooner?

"Immediately mobilize troops to leave the city and destroy these things, otherwise our next battle will be difficult!"

No one wants someone constantly controlling their life and death.

However, the general guarding the city shook his head and said...

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, we cannot leave the city. We have no idea what the situation is outside the city."

More importantly, the enemy is incredibly powerful!

"We can still rely on our well-prepared defenses while we are inside the city. But if we leave the city, and this turns out to be an enemy tactic, our hard-won army might be wiped out!"

"That's what's truly terrifying for us!"

"Although their weapon looks powerful, it has a major drawback: it is enormous and takes a very long time to build. However, most of their troops are currently heading towards one place, so I believe they will arrive in the capital soon!"

"With our combined efforts from within and without, we will surely be able to wipe them all out!"

"No matter what happens outside, the best approach for us is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of the Delhi Sultanate hurriedly nodded and said, "You're right. We absolutely cannot open the city gates now, or we'll all be doomed!"

You did a good job. Don't worry, as long as we can defend this time, I will appoint you as a general and give you command of the entire nation's army.

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

"Mo Jiang will certainly go through fire and water for Your Majesty's enduring legacy, without hesitation!"

For several days in a row, the Ming army was building such large-scale equipment.

Even the surrounding soil and trenches had been dug up.

The soldiers in the city were extremely surprised to see this scene. They had never imagined that they would see such a way of fighting. It was truly a rare sight.

However, this is also good, as many of them are hastily assembled troops with poor combat effectiveness and are no match for the Ming army.

It was a dead end for them, and they didn't want to just end up like that.
