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

Chapter 587: Two-sided attack
Upon hearing this, the Khan of the Timurid Empire snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.

For example, we might only be able to save one.

These places are all very important.

"So I want them all. Since we don't have enough troops right now, we'll continue to recruit more."

"We still have many soldiers on our grasslands who are capable of wielding weapons!"

Upon hearing this, Minister Ming was extremely alarmed and hurriedly replied.

"This is absolutely unacceptable! Our losses on the grasslands have already been enormous. If we continue to lose troops at this point, our strength on the grasslands will be severely depleted, and we might even end up with nothing left. That would be truly terrifying!"

"Please, Great Khan, stop conscripting soldiers!"

At this point, another minister stepped forward.

"That's true. There aren't many men left in the tribes these days. If we just throw them all away, we won't have any chance to defend ourselves if something happens. It's better to keep some!"

The Khan of Timur snorted coldly.

"Your strategy of conserving your strength is clearly malicious. If the Timurid Empire is destroyed, we will no longer have sufficient power. Even if you want to resist, you won't be able to. That will be the real end for us!"

"Now I'm declaring here that no one should hold back their strength. Anyone who dares to continue hoarding their power will have their tribe wiped out beforehand!"

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed, their eyes filled with worry. If so many soldiers died on the battlefield, their tribe would be completely wiped out. However, the person in front of them was, after all, their Khan.

They dared not resist and could only acquiesce to the situation.

Zhu Xiong Ying was extremely surprised to hear this news.

"It seems that the Khan of the Timurid Empire has gone completely mad, but this is actually a good thing for us!"

"Although our army is also facing attacks from both sides, the Delhi Sultanate can only adopt a passive defense, especially since their internal forces are divided into three different factions!"

"Uniting their forces is an extremely difficult task in itself, so they don't have a significant impact on us right now. This allows us to mobilize a portion of our troops to move north!"

"I command Lan Yu to lead his main army, along with troops recruited from the Delhi Sultanate, northward to attack the Timurid Empire and cooperate with Duke Cao, Li Wenzhong, to suppress it!"

Upon learning this news, Lan Yu was extremely surprised and somewhat bewildered.

I knew I had been attacking the Delhi Sultanate all this time, but I never expected that I would have to fight the Timurid Empire again.

A general standing nearby said with some concern.

"We don't know much about this country. Should we consult with Duke Cao, Li Wenzhong?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu frowned, feeling somewhat displeased.

"The abilities of Duke Cao, Li Wenzhong, are indeed extraordinary, but he really doesn't want to ask others for advice!"

He simply snorted coldly and said...

"If they can do it, why can't we? We can send our troops to Timur's territory to gather information and see how many enemies they have. Then we can join forces with Duke Cao, Li Wenzhong!"

"Anyway, the credit for this is definitely mine!"

Upon hearing this, the Ming general nodded and immediately went to investigate. Meanwhile, Zhu Xiong Ying told Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong about his thoughts.

Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong thought to himself, and Viking Asia saw him smiling as he spoke.

"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, such a plan is truly astonishing!"

"If this strategy can be implemented, I believe this battle will be over in a short time!"

At this moment, the general standing to the side said with some doubt.

"But this document says that we should cooperate with Duke Lan Yu of Liang. Duke Lan Yu has an extremely volatile temper and is arrogant by nature. He may not cooperate with us to advance together!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Li Wenzhong of Cao burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, I know this guy's personality too well. Nothing will go wrong. Everything is within His Highness's expectations!"

"Since the enemy has deployed so many troops in front of us, let's go around them and cut off their retreat. I don't believe that so many troops can hold out in this place for long without logistical support!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this. In the past, when they fought on the grasslands, the most troublesome thing was that they couldn't find their way, which was also the most troublesome thing for them.

But the situation is different now. Since Zhu Xiong Ying gave each of his generals a compass, and with the maps carefully drawn by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Western Depot in Zhu Xiong Ying's possession, getting lost on this grassland is no easy task.

The Khan of the Timurid Empire had just assembled an army when he discovered that the army under Lan Yu in the north was attacking directly. He was very surprised.

"I never expected Lan Yu to be so fast. We were just preparing to assemble an army when they arrived here. It seems we can't delay any longer and must bring our army to the battlefield immediately."

The general in front was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

"Great Khan, is this really going to work?"

Although these herders all possess some skills in horseback riding and archery, they haven't received any training, and their current strength isn't particularly formidable!

"If things continue like this, we may not be a match for the Ming army!"

Upon hearing this, the Khan of the Timurid Empire sighed, his eyes filled with displeasure.

"It's come to this, what else can I do? This is all I can do now!"

"I will personally lead our main force to fight a decisive battle against the Ming army!"

"The reason why Lan Yu was able to turn the entire Delhi Sultanate upside down is because he was dealing with a bunch of useless people!"

"Now I face a warrior from our Timurid Empire. I guarantee I'll tear him to pieces and use his head to make a drink!"

Upon hearing this, the court officials couldn't help but sigh; they didn't think the possibility of such a thing was very high.

There was nothing they could do; the Ming army was simply too powerful, and they had no idea how long they could hold out.

Moreover, there have been some changes on the eastern battlefield. The best solution would be to transfer troops from the Transoxiana region so that they would have sufficient strength. Unfortunately, the Khan of Timur's Empire was unwilling to give up such a tempting prize.

It seems there's no other way now.
