Chapter 842: Siege Turpan

Everyone knew that the Ming army had broken through the seven guards in a row, so the defenders in Turpan City dared not let the city of Man by three days casually, so they hurriedly sent people to inform Hassan. Soon Hassan ran up the city tower with his legs trembling slightly.

He raised his single-tube telescope and looked down at the city. In fact, he could see clearly on the city tower. Hassan was mainly worried that he was dazzled. The three Yerkand Khanate cavalry clearly appeared in his single-tube telescope.

More than 100,000 Yarkand Khan soldiers, as their commander, could not all know each other. Hassan saw that they were covered in blood, and his armor and faces were indeed Yarkand cavalry, and then he saw if there were ambushes behind them.

After seeing that everything was normal, Hassan ordered the city gate to be opened:

"Quick, let them in with your city."

"yes"

Hassan spoke, and the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly opened the city gate. Hassan quickly walked down the city to wait for the three wounded soldiers to arrive.

After the three wounded soldiers entered the city, they saw the commander standing not far from the city gate. They hurriedly rolled off their saddle and knelt in front of Hassan to release their lives and cry:

"Governor General, all 25,000 brothers were killed in battle. General Mouta was killed by the Ming army. The three of us also crawled out of the dead. The brigade of Ming army is coming to Turpan. Please prepare..."

"thump……"

When Hassan heard the news, he felt like he was thundering, his legs were weak and his butt was slumped on the ground.

"How is it possible... This is impossible... How could more than 20,000 cavalrymen be wiped out in such a short time..."

"Governor..."

Seeing Hassan slumped on the ground, his personal guard hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up. After a moment, Hassan suddenly laughed:

"Nothing nonsense, how could more than 20,000 cavalry be wiped out? Wouldn't they run away? You have already defected to the Ming army, and they are spies from the Ming army. People came to cut down these three traitors..."

When the three of them were shocked when they heard this, they kowtowed to Hassan repeatedly:

"Governor General, please spare me! What we are saying is true. The Ming army does not use swords and guns at all, and can kill people from afar..."

"Nothing nonsense, drag it down and chop it!"

Hassan did not give the three people a chance to explain, and immediately asked someone to pull the three people down and behead them. The other soldiers did not believe what they said, everything and what they said! Killing people without long distances can kill cavalry. Isn’t this a myth?

Sadly, the three of them finally crawled out of the dead and reported the news. They thought it was a great achievement, but Hassan was directly silenced.

In fact, Hassan didn't want to kill them, but what they said was too exaggerated. Once it reached the ears of other soldiers, it would definitely cause unstable morale to decline. So no matter whether what they said was true or false, Hassan would silence them.

After killing the three, Hassan immediately passed the order:

"A man comes, I will pass the order of this governor. The defense forces of the four gates will be doubled. Other troops are ready to fight against the Ming army. If they can repel the Ming army's attack, they will definitely have a heavy reward."

Turpan is not only an important gateway in the Western Regions, but also an important town on the China Silk Road, but also a necessary way for China to lead to the Western Regions. If the Ming army wants to break through Turpan, the hinterland of the Yarkand Khanate, it must be captured.

Not only Li Yan and Zhu Cilang are very clear about this, but as the head coach of the Yarkand Khanate, how could Hassan not know about it?

In order to defend Turpan, he brought all the main forces of the Yarkand Khanate. He thought that even if the seven guards could not stop the Ming army, they would cause great damage to the Ming army. When the tired Ming army arrived in Turpan, they sent troops to annihilate them with great help.

But the situation is completely contrary to what he imagined. The Ming army was so powerful that it rushed to Turpan. Even the cavalry he sent out to ambush were wiped out. If this continues, the country will probably be destroyed.

Hassan felt so regretful! At that time, he was also young and frivolous and did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously. He always thought that they were in the Western Regions without any rivals. Now, it was really not worth it to be a Ming princess.

If he had asked him to choose again now, Hassan would rather be a grandson or dog in the Ming Dynasty than choose to marry the Ming Dynasty princess to the Western Regions.

At that time, he wanted to challenge the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty, such as not being able to marry your princess, so that Hassan became the first foreign prince consort in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

But it makes no sense to say anything now. With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, if you kill other people's envoys, you probably won't accept your surrender.

There is no way. Is there anyone selling regret medicine in the world? The only thing Hassan can do now is to strengthen defense and take advantage of the harsh geographical environment to fight the Ming army.

All night was safe and sound. Hassan did not receive any news about the arrival of Ming army, but he couldn't sleep all night. He was not in the mood to play with the two Mongolian girls. Seeing that it was already dawn, Hassan was just about to fall asleep when suddenly the door was knocked:

"Governor General, big things... big things are not good, we are tightly surrounded by the Ming army..."

"thump……"

Hassan was shocked and stood up from the bed. However, he fell directly under the bed without standing firmly. Two Mongolian girls stood up and helped him up. Hassan felt as if he was dreaming and asked quickly:

"Damn, what are you saying, saying it again..."

The subordinates hurriedly repeated:

"Governor General, Turpan City has been surrounded by the Ming army. Go and have a look!"

"Hurry up..., prepare horses to the city..."

Hassan hurriedly put on his clothes and went out. The war horse was ready outside the door. He wanted to fly on the horse but fell off the horse because his legs were weak. Several personal guards hurriedly stepped forward and helped him onto the war horse.

He rode all the way. When they climbed up the city, they found that Turpan was surrounded by the Ming army, and there were high Ming dragon flags everywhere. Hassan almost fainted when he waved his hand and was slapped by the general defending the city:

"Waste, why not inform us earlier?"

The lord guarding the city hurriedly bowed his head and replied:

"Governor General, we didn't notice the arrival of the Ming army at night, and we found them only at dawn..."

Hassan glared at the city lord with a fierce look, and then sent an order:

"A person comes, I will pass on the orders of this governor, prepare more bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones, the more the better. We must not let the Ming army climb up the city wall."

"yes"

The arrows on the city were ready long ago, and the rolling wood and stones were piled high. There were even many soldiers boiling water and tung oil, which were all gifts prepared for the Ming army to attack the city.

But Hassan was still worried that it was not enough, so he ordered his subordinates to prepare more.

Hassan grabbed a single-tube telescope and looked at the Ming army camp. He wanted to see what weapons the Ming army used, but the soldiers who appeared in the telescope surprised Hassan:

"Damn, is this the Ming army? They don't even wear armor. What kind of hell are they wearing?"

In Hassan's impression, the Ming army was wearing traditional armor, but the Ming army that appeared in front of him now was all wearing strange clothes, and there was no sign of armor.
