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

Chapter 590 Clash of the Two Armies
Upon hearing this, the two couldn't wait to leave the place, and once they left the tribe, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, we've finally left that place of trouble. I don't know why, but just thinking about what happened back then makes me shudder. Those guys were truly terrifying, so fierce and menacing!"

The envoy beside him sighed and said.

"Speaking of which, this tribe has been constantly at war. After so many years of development, their strength should have recovered somewhat, but their numbers are still only around 100,000, with only 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers capable of fighting!"

"It is clear that their strength has not recovered at all, precisely because their manpower losses were extremely heavy. However, only under such circumstances can they train an elite army that is rare in the world!"

"Regardless, we've completed this mission and can report back now!"

When the two returned and told the Timurid emperor that the Kipchak lord Onsdantu was willing to lead troops into battle, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

So they prepared some food along the way.

Angsidantu prepared to head south with all his elite troops.

This time they planned to seize more things, and of course, it would be even better if they could seize some territory, as the harsh northern lands were not suitable for the survival of his troops.

If he continues to stay in this place, his troops will surely suffer heavy losses.

He led his troops along the way, but didn't see a single living person, which made him very dissatisfied.

"I remember there should have been quite a few tribes along this route, but I haven't seen a single one!"

The envoy beside him said with a look of embarrassment.

"Naturally, they are afraid of your divine power, Lord Angstantu, so they dare not see you. But please rest assured, sir!"

"We have prepared enough food along the way, enough for the entire army!"

Upon hearing this, Onsdantu nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems you've made very thorough preparations, managing to acquire so much food. Not bad, not bad. It's just a pity that it's always best to steal from others!"

"It's really tough not being able to steal from others along the way!"

The group curled their lip; as expected, these guys were born bandits, and there was nothing to say to them.

Just then, someone standing nearby said with a forced smile.

"Although we can't plunder grain right now, this is only temporary. We'll be at the front lines soon. Once we're there, we can plunder the Ming Dynasty's things. All their stuff is good stuff, and getting even a little bit will benefit us!"

Upon hearing this, Onsdantu burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, there's no opponent in the world that my Kipchak cavalry can't defeat!"

At this time, under Zhu Xiong Ying's orders, Lan Yu led his troops northward, and did not encounter any decent enemies along the way.

Lan Yu was extremely puzzled.

"Strange, we haven't encountered any effective resistance along the way, and those tribes have all left. What happened? They can't have abandoned this part of the defense!"

The deputy general standing nearby shook his head upon hearing this.

"I suspect there's some other conspiracy at play. It's unlikely they'd give up this place; the south is extremely important to them too!"

“Once they abandon this place, our army can advance unimpeded, and their losses will still be very heavy. This is very disadvantageous for them, so they are not foolish enough to do that!” “If I’m not mistaken, there must be some other reason!”

Just then, a soldier arrived at the spot, looking very anxious.

"General Lan Yu, something terrible has happened! I heard from the nearby tribes that a Kipchak cavalry force is heading south. I heard that this Kipchak cavalry force is extremely powerful, and even their own people are very afraid of them!"

Lan Yu was taken aback after hearing this, and said with some confusion.

"How come I've never heard of such a Kipchak cavalry unit before!"

How many of them are there?

The man said hurriedly.

"I heard that this army has about 30,000 to 40,000 men. That's the entire army of their tribe. Although they are few in number, they are extremely powerful. To prevent an attack by this army, all the tribes along the way have withdrawn. It is said that this army is very terrifying. They don't care whether they are friend or foe. As long as they see something, they will take it all!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. How was this any different from an army composed of mountain bandits and robbers? Lan Yu snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"They're just some bandits."

I refuse to believe these people are really that strong in combat. Order the army to march north!

At this moment, the deputy general standing to the side spoke with some hesitation.

"Since the general can frighten these grassland tribes so much, he must be quite capable. Why don't we set up an ambush behind them?"

If the main force's attack goes smoothly, we can all break out together; but if the attack fails, we'll still have a defensive line!

Lan Yu was extremely dissatisfied after hearing this.

"If I, the general, personally lead the charge, how could any of the Kipchak cavalry of the Timurid Empire possibly survive? I think you're overthinking this. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

The deputy general became somewhat anxious after hearing this.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is nearby. If something happens to him, it will be very disadvantageous for him. In any case, we need to have some backup plans!"

"Does the Duke of Liang want to see His Highness the Crown Prince in danger?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu suddenly thought of Zhu Xiong Ying, who was behind her.

When General Godot attacked the city, Zhu Xiong Ying was almost in danger.

If it weren't for the problems within their city and the internal strife within the Delhi Sultanate, winning that battle would indeed have been no easy feat.

If such a situation were to occur again, he would have a hard time explaining it when he returned home, after all, he was his great-uncle.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said.

"Alright, then you take a portion of the troops and ambush from behind to provide support. If any problems arise with the soldiers at the front, you will immediately move out to cover the main force's retreat!"

Lan Yu led his cavalry directly to the front.
