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

Chapter 506 Siege the city and call for reinforcements
For them now, survival is the most important thing.

At this moment, Dobuaqiri's troops were rushing back frantically. In order to increase their speed, he gathered all the cavalry together and carried some food supplies on their way.

Most of the troops were at the rear.

The general leading this army was none other than Philoigos, who had previously accomplished nothing in the east.

Philoigus was utterly speechless. This task shouldn't have fallen to him; he had been completely bewildered by the battle.

The enemies in front of him had all left, and he was still unaware of it. If he were forced to find out, he would be in serious trouble. In order to get Prince Dobu Aqili to keep this secret for him, he had no choice but to lead his troops forward.

He felt frustrated at the thought of what Prince Dobuaqili had made him do, and he grumbled under his breath.

"He's just a prince, isn't he?"

"What's so great about him? If those two princes hadn't been captured by the Ming army, how could he have the right to make decisions!"

The thought of this place made him feel extremely depressed, as if everyone was targeting them.

But he was helpless in the face of this outcome. After all, this matter needed to be covered up, otherwise his future days would be difficult.

By this time, they had traveled for a long time and were panting heavily.

The general standing to the side looked at Philoigus and said.

"General, we've traveled for so long, should we rest here for a bit before continuing?"

"Anyway, it won't take long to reach the capital!"

Upon hearing this, Philoigus looked around and then spoke.

"In that case, let's rest here for a while. But we should send people to keep watch around here, just in case we spot the enemy!"

The general laughed after hearing this.

"General, you must be joking. How could there be any enemies? Lan Yu only has tens of thousands of men under his command. If Prince Duobu Aqili hadn't given us a false report, we wouldn't have had to take such a large action!"

"They only dare to attack the capital now because our main forces are not in this place. Otherwise, even if they had three times the courage, they wouldn't dare!"

Philoigus sighed upon hearing this, his eyes filled with anger.

He had obtained this news with great difficulty; if he hadn't, he would never have believed that the Ming army had only sent such a small force.

“This time, Prince Dobu Achiri was indeed in the wrong. When I return, I will definitely tell His Majesty about this, and I believe His Majesty will punish him!”

Philoigus naturally had his own plans. After this battle, Asagaya, which he could have fought for, had been completely defeated.

His elite troops, which originally belonged to him, have now been decimated and have no chance of recovery.

Even he himself has disappeared. What use could someone like that possibly be? Even if he were to manage to return to the capital by chance, His Majesty would certainly not employ him.

This time, because Prince Dobu Aqili lied about military intelligence, such a big problem has arisen. Now that there is such an important matter, I believe His Majesty will definitely not let him off easily.

Thinking it over carefully, he realized that his place was safe, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're right, let the brothers rest here for a while. If the enemy comes, we'll still have the ability to fight back!" Upon learning that they could rest, the soldiers, who had been rushing every day, finally lay down on the spot, seemingly relieved.

What they didn't know was that an army had quietly surrounded their location.

This army mainly consisted of the elite troops led by Lan Yu.

Apart from a few soldiers who remained in the camp, spending their days crafting those things to confuse the enemy, the rest of the troops had already quietly left.

Lu Xiang-sheng's strategy for him was to besiege the city and attack the reinforcements, a strategy that was reportedly proposed by the crown prince Zhu Xiong-ying.

After learning of this plan, Lan Yu praised it highly and immediately led his army to this place.

"It seems that this is their vanguard, mostly composed of cavalry. If we eliminate them, not only will the strength of the Delhi Sultanate be greatly weakened, but we will also lose a lot of our warhorses!"

Thinking of this place, Lan Yu felt extremely excited.

Although Lu Xiang-sheng's army consisted of cavalry, the other armies were all infantry.

Although the Ming Dynasty's navy was powerful, it was impossible to transport so many horses to them all at once. It was already a remarkable feat to bring such a large army with so many horses, let alone anything else.

Due to exhaustion, Philoigus's troops quickly fell into a deep sleep. Although some remained on guard, they were of little use.

Just then, a sound suddenly came from the sky.

The shouts of battle coming from all directions seemed to engulf them.

Philoigus was startled and extremely flustered upon hearing this voice.

"Where is that sound coming from? Could there be an ambush here?"

Before he could finish speaking, a group of soldiers charged straight toward that spot.

Upon seeing the first person, Philoigus was shocked, for the people who had come were actually the army of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this, his face was filled with disbelief.

How could the Ming army possibly be lying in ambush in this one place? This is troublesome.

At this moment, his troops were fleeing frantically, fearing that they would be captured by the Ming army, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Ming Dynasty's prestige was once again damaged after the previous battle, and even the renowned General Asagaya of the Delhi Sultanate was defeated by the Ming.

There was no way that one of their generals could possibly be a match for the Ming army.

Having decided on this place, they scattered.

Philoigus offered no resistance and fled into the distance with his soldiers.

When Lan Yu's army arrived at this place, they found the ground littered with spoils left behind by these people, and they had not actually captured many people.

Seeing this, Lan Yu pursed her lips, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with such spoils.

"I didn't expect these guys to escape so quickly. It's a real pity. If we could have surrounded them more precisely, we might have been able to capture them all!"
