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

Chapter 513 Recapture of François Saint-Denis
Therefore, it is very difficult to obtain this information. No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince approves of this person so much. This person does not have any major flaws, except that he comes from a low social background, which has led to him being suppressed so severely.

Many of the men in the navy were incompetent fools appointed by the emperor himself, and they didn't have much ability.

There were many powerful generals before François Saint-Denis, but they were dismissed because of their humble origins.

It's likely that François Sainte harbored some resentment towards the Emperor of the Delhi Sultanate, which explains why His Highness chose such a person.

"Could this be information that the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the Delhi Sultanate discovered?"

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Western Depot under my command are currently in Delhi. The Sultanate is developing quite well, and I have already placed a considerable number of people in its ranks!"

"This is the result of our investigation, and it seems to be quite good!"

Zhu Xiong Ying directly brought the entire navy of the Delhi Sultanate along the coast under his command.

Meanwhile, Lan Yu and his troops were still besieging the city.

At this time, the capital of the Delhi Sultanate was already in complete chaos.

Especially after Lan Yu took out all the captured flags, the morale of the army was thrown into chaos.

They had been defending this place hoping that Prince Dobu Aqiri's troops would come to their aid in time. But now even the banners of his two generals had been brought out, which was enough to prove that both armies had been defeated, and there was even a high probability that Prince Dobu Aqiri's troops had been completely wiped out.

If that's the case, then there's not much point in them persisting in this place.

The city is now filled with mourning cries.

When the emperor of the Delhi Sultanate learned of this news, he was also filled with disbelief. At this moment, he looked at the generals outside and said...

Is what you're saying true?

"Our troops were really defeated by Lan Yu? How is that possible? That's a full 400,000 troops, not 40 steamed buns. How could they lose so quickly?"

The general guarding the city lowered his head and dared not say a word. This was indeed a fact before them. After a while, he spoke softly.

"There's a high probability that this is true. First, Lan Yu has no reason to lie about this. Second, those flags don't seem fake to me. If they hadn't been defeated, the vanguard should have already reached this place, but they haven't yet, which is enough to prove this point!"

"Prince Dobuakiri's army did indeed engage in battle with Lan Yu's army, and there's a high probability they didn't!"

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be here now!"

The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate sighed and said with a somewhat complicated expression.

"So what do we do now? Can we really hold out?"

"Not only does the survival of my Delhi Sultanate depend entirely on you, but you must not fail my hopes for you!"

The general nodded firmly after hearing this.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there won't be any major problems. I just did a rough calculation, and the number of Ming troops isn't that large. The reason they were able to defeat Prince Dobu Aqiri must be because they transferred our troops from the outer perimeter. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have so many troops!" The Emperor of the Delhi Sultanate looked at him with a questioning gaze.

During this time, they have been thinking about how to take precautions.

The troops under Lan Yu's command had no intention of resisting.

They weren't particularly clear about the situation outside, otherwise they would have already fought their way out and wouldn't be stuck in this place.

Unfortunately, such a good opportunity may not come again.

"However, Your Majesty need not worry too much. Our city defenses are strong, and we have a large number of troops. Even if they want to fight, it will take them a long time. We can request support from the Timurid Khanate in the north, so that our troops from all over the country and a naval force at sea can unite us. With so many troops, they will have no chance of defeating us!"

"However, if we want the Timurid Khanate to send troops, we may have to pay a price!"

The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate frowned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat displeased.

"What's the price?"

"We were originally allies fighting against the Ming Dynasty together. Now that we are under attack from the Ming, isn't it only right that they help us send troops? Do we have to beg them to come?"

The general guarding the city gave a wry smile upon hearing this.

The so-called alliances and treaties between countries are nothing but worthless pieces of paper. If they want to provide support, they will definitely have to pay a price. Otherwise, the Timurid Khanate would not have sent troops so easily.

Although the Timurid Khanate's ultimate enemy was the Ming Dynasty, they were not necessarily good people either. They might take this opportunity to use the Delhi Sultanate to weaken the Ming Dynasty.

They might even attack the Delhi Sultanate just like the Ming Dynasty did.

"Now the Timurid Khanate is also facing a considerable number of Ming troops, and they may not have enough soldiers to support us. They might even be hoping that we will perish together with the Ming Dynasty!"

"So I think we should reconsider this matter carefully. If we don't give it to them, and they use some tricks or try to trip us up, it will be really hard to handle the situation."

If the losses are too great, my Delhi Sultanate may never again have the chance to compete with the rest of the world!

The emperor of the Delhi Sultanate frowned upon hearing this and finally sighed. Indeed, this was the case. First of all, the Delhi Sultanate's finances were in great trouble, and there were many people rebelling in various places. In particular, after this battle, all the troops in the country had been mobilized.

They don't have many main forces left, and the key issue is that they are being...

Surrounded in the capital, they had no idea what the situation was like outside; perhaps their troops had already been almost completely worn down by this time.

Even if the Ming army retreats, it will leave them with a complete mess. It will be impossible for them to recover their strength in less than ten or twenty years.

If the Timur Khanate's army were to learn of this, they might turn around and seize their land, which would be truly terrifying.

Thinking of this, the emperor of the Delhi Sultanate seemed to have aged ten years.
