A battle of encirclement and annihilation began in the long yellow sand.

Five hundred Hami cavalry suffered a dynamically attack...

It's really comparable to a dimensional reduction strike.

Li Changgeng's subordinates had absolute equipment, absolute tactical tactics, absolute quantity, and a surprise attack. Faced with these enemies holding flintlock spears on the horse's back and constantly spraying flames at them, the Hami cavalry had to struggle in vain and desperately.

Their arrows are still as accurate as their ancestors.

But it can only be bounced away by carburizing forged steel.

Their scimitars are still sharp.

But unfortunately, the enemy fired bullets in his hands.

Their riding skills are still superb.

But the enemy held spears and lined up the walls and waves.

The battle at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain lasted for less than half an hour. The three thousand cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty carried out a complete encirclement and annihilation of the five hundred Hami cavalry because the encirclement had been arranged long ago, and no Hami cavalry even escaped from the hunt.

It's indeed hunting.

They fell under the bullets of these cavalrymen like flocks of hunted sheep.

"This Western Region is really right!"

Li Changgeng carried a spear and casually repaired a wounded Hami cavalry under his feet.

And around him were dead bodies.

His cavalrymen searched the dead bodies, and from time to time, some people did the same job. They came to the Western Regions to occupy territory and then moved their families to reproduce and reproduce. Of course, they had to thoroughly clean up these enemies, otherwise would they keep them for trouble for them in the future? At this time, the Confucian scholars had long been inseparable from pedanticism. They had been tortured by Yang Feng for more than ten years, and they were all developing towards Zeng. After all, Confucian scholars were not allowed to be cruel, and Confucian scholars were not allowed to massacre the city.

As long as interests require them, they can even attack their own compatriots, let alone these enemies.

"The Marshal, a total of thirty people were killed and fifty-two were injured, but they were all slightly injured. Their swords could not even cut our armor."

A proud report from an officer.

I have to say that after being chased by the Red Turban Army for so many years, they suddenly found that the enemy here was so weak. The excitement was really beyond words.

It was finally their turn to bully others.

"This is their musket, the original Lumi gun, with a long range, but the bullets are small, and unless they are close, they can't penetrate our armor. I got a bullet, leaving a pit, and there are not many such numbers. If the Yarkand people have this kind of firearm, we can use heavy armor infantry to put on the full armor again.

Their arrows are useless.

Even if they get close to five feet, their arrows can't shoot through our armor.

Heavy armored infantry, coupled with the Royal Sword, can be better at dealing with such soldiers than muskets."

Another officer said, carrying a comb.

What they call full-equipped heavy armor is three quarters of armor. As for the full-body armor, there are only a few high-level generals wearing costumes. In order to ensure weight reduction and thickness, the war horses in the east are small in size and cannot carry heavy full-body armor. However, the three quarters of armor are actually heavy. After all, the close-range shooting of bullets by blocking bird guns is standard, so the one who really uses three quarters of armor is heavy infantry, and as for the new type of convex guns such as the turtle dove gun...

Just wear a breastplate.

Anyway, it’s useless to have one or two bullets.

In fact, if many opponents were not using bows and arrows at this time, there was no need for breastplate. If the breastplate is thin, it would not be able to block one or two bullets, and it would be useless at close range.

But the Lumi gun is different.

Just three cents of bullets, it is just a long-range shot.

But the armor-piercing ability is still not good.

Their past E-version bird guns were improved and amplified by Lumi guns. In the end, they could only reach seven cents of bullets to barely get close to the effect of one or two bullets. For these three cents of bullets, the heavy armor of infantry carburized steel was enough to rush in front of them, and then they swung their hands and big swords to cut.

"Report to the King of Chu and ask him to prepare heavy armored long sword weapons."

Li Changgeng said.

This is easy for them.

These exile corps are just insufficient in population base.

But what equipment is needed.

Especially those gentry who fled in trouble often brought enough equipment. They have sufficient technology in recent years, and they have made large quantities in Longyou. It can be said that the plate armor rate is 100%, and most of them are forged, quenched and carburized by Sugang. Compared with European plate armor, they have reached the high-quality level.

What they value most now is technology.

Because they always think that they either lose because of the people's desire, or because Yang Feng's technology is more advanced.

So it is more advanced than Yang Feng.

Just like the Westernization factions in the late Qing Dynasty.

At this moment, the previous reconnaissance officer came over with a Thai man, followed by a few followers who should be his.

"You are from the Jesuit?"

Li Changgeng used his spear to draw Portuguese on the ground.

He can read and write, but it is a bit difficult to say.

It’s not that I can’t speak, but that I can only do a simple communication, so I still write more smoothly.

The Thais looked at him in disbelief...

"I am a friend of Priest Matteo Rich, and Bishop Valignano also knows that we are on a western expedition to eliminate the Yarkand people and need your help. Our Emperor Majesty can promise that if you can help us, then you can consider working with you to deal with the Ottomans."

Li Changgeng continued to paddle.

Ricci is Matteo Ricci, Valiniano is Fan Lian.

"General, my name is Bento de Goss, and I am a missionary of peace."

The latter said carefully.

This is a Jesuit missionary E Benedict, who went to the Ming Dynasty by sea, and he chose land by nature. Because he was protected by the Emperor Abak of the Mughal Empire, he was safe and sound all the way. Originally, he finally arrived in the Ming Dynasty in history, but died in Suzhou due to illness. Although his journey ended like this, he left many valuable information for later generations recording the Western Regions of this era.

Li Changgeng smiled.

"Prince De Goss, isn't your God the first thing you should be loyal to?

So don't you want to take Constantinople back from the Ottomans? Our target is Yarkand, in the river, and Khorasan, so the Ottoman must be our enemy. Do the missionaries in the Vatican want to rescue their brothers enslaved by the Ottomans?"

He wrote.

Speaking of the world geography written by Yang Feng, the current relationship between various countries, is a must-read for them.

And it's no secret.

In fact, bookstores in the Ming Dynasty publicly sell such books.

Selling books to Dayuan was a profitable business for many merchants in the Ming Dynasty.

Benedict E smiled slightly.

"General, I was wrong."

He said.

He was just reserved, but it was obvious that there was no need to pretend in front of this general.

"Then please take us to Hami City!"

Li Changgeng said in Portuguese, which could barely express his meaning.

At this time, the soldiers around him had already begun to strip off the clothes of the Hami cavalry. Although the clothes were covered with blood, they could not be seen clearly after being covered with sand and dust. After all, it would be good to see clearly in such windy and sandy weather. Benedict E watched the cavalry complete the modification, and then they stepped on the corpses of the Hami people and began to advance towards the Hami City in front.

"General, there are not many soldiers in Hami City, there are only less than 5,000 people there, and the remaining ones can pick up weapons is only more than 1,000, and there are no more than 500 people with armor, and only more than 200 people with a clamp. This group actually does not want to fight with the general. They make a living by trade, just want to come and see the general's intentions, and also send me on the way to move forward. If your target is Turpan, then you can rest assured that they are all merchants and are not good at fighting, so your army can easily defeat them. Moreover, the Khan of Yarkand will not save them. Although it is indeed his subordinate there, they have always been enemies with him and even competed for the Khan throne with him.

But keep moving forward, Karashar is the real fortress.

There is a construction to defend them.

And there is a large population, and the temple elders there are also very unfriendly, and some even try to kill me. Fortunately, I have the protection of the Yarkand Khan."

E Bendeon said.

"They are really weak?"

Li Changgeng said.

“Very weak.”

Bende E said affirmatively.

Then he looked at the plate armor on Li Changgeng's body and the flintlock rifle on his waist.

"Vulnerable!"

He repeated.

Soon Hami City appeared in front of them.

At this time, the wind and sand were even stronger, and Ebenedict took his follower Isaac to the city gate and shouted for the door.

This is an Armenian.

Because he was a citizen of the Ottoman Empire, Armenian merchants were protected by the Ottoman Empire in Central Asia. In fact, Benedict himself pretended to be an Armenian. In addition, the protection of the Mughal emperor and the protection of the Yarkand important minister Seid, who was a relative of Abak, was unimpeded.
