The Ming army was in the east and Timur was in the west. The army of both sides confronted each other. Hundreds of thousands of troops fought, and the outcome could not be decided in just one or two wars. In fact, during this period, both sides sent troops to fight fiercely on this land. Although each had a victory or defeat, in general, Timur's side actually had more victory or defeat, after all, they had an advantage in numbers.

In the Ming army's camp, Zhu Di and Fu Youde were not depressed by the unfavorable situation of the war. Instead, they stood in front of the sand table on the battlefield and discussed the next plan with great enthusiasm.

"General, it has been effective to show that the enemy is weak. During this period, Timur's use of troops has become more and more bold, and he has even shown a decisive battle. It seems that our plan has been successful!" Zhu Di said excitedly at the corner of the sand table.

The so-called showing the enemy as weak means using Timur's lack of understanding of Ming munitions, when the two armies are facing the enemy, try to minimize the use of firearms, or reduce the power of the firearms in the room, so as to make Timur's wrong judgments about the firearms. Never underestimate this judgment. For the main general, even a small misjudgment may affect the outcome of a battle.

"From Timur's recent military use, he has indeed become much bolder, but he cannot be taken lightly. Recently, he has still sent cavalry everywhere to rob the nearby Western Regions people. He probably wants to inquire about the situation in our army. From this we can see that Timur still did not relax his vigilance." Fu Youde said while watching the direction of various troops on the sand table.

"Let him arrest him. The changes in our army are so great. Not to mention the people of the Western Regions here, even in the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't know much about some changes in the army, so he asked for it in vain!" Zhu Di smiled indifferently.

Information is lagging. Although the Ming army equipped firearms very early, the firearms used to be low in power and have many disadvantages, so they can only be used in some specific battlefields.

However, with the improvement of firearms, the Ming army began to equip firearms on a large scale. This is something that happened in recent years. Therefore, except for the people in the army, it is actually difficult for outsiders to notice. Even people in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they do not pay special attention, most people's impression of the army is probably mainly cold weapons.

It was precisely because Zhu Di and Fu Youde knew about the above that they decided to show that the enemy was weak and let Timur know the power of the firearm. Although the Ming army suffered a few more defeats in the early stage and even suffered some losses, for the general, they naturally had to know how to make choices. Today's small losses are for greater benefits in the future.

"Report~" At this moment, I suddenly heard a horse outside galloping towards me, then rushed into the tent and said loudly, "Report to General, Timur sent two armies, each with about 50,000, to fight on my left and right wings!"

"How dare you divide the troops?" Fu Youde also showed a look of surprise when he heard this. You know, Timur was very cautious in the previous few confrontations. Each time he sent only a part of his troops to test, and most of the troops were in the rear. As a result, this time he divided his troops to kill the two wings, and each had an army of 50,000. This was an unprecedented battle.

"I passed my order and ordered Song Sheng to lead his army to fight the enemy on the left, as for the right wing." Fu Youde also looked at Zhu Di when he said this.

"Okay, I will lead the troops to meet the enemy with the right wing, but how to fight this time, should I still show my weakness?" Zhu Di immediately understood and volunteered.

"Showing weakness is definitely a sign of weakness, but you can't just show weakness." Fu Youde pondered for a moment, and immediately slapped his hands, "Pull out part of the cannon. After all, Timur must have noticed that our firearm is sharp. He has never used artillery before. Now in such a large-scale war, it would be a bit unreasonable if the cannon does not come on the stage."

"I understand, I'll do it now!" Zhu Di immediately took the order and then personally counted the army to meet the enemy.

More than ten miles away, Shahalu led 50,000 cavalry to attack the Ming army's right-wing camp. This time they were divided into two groups, and there was a main army behind them to reorganize. In this way, the main force of the Ming army would definitely not dare to act rashly, and could only use the troops on the left and right wings to fight.

According to Timur's plan, if the Ming army's wings could not stop their cavalry, they would have to use the main force to support them at that time. As long as the main force of the Ming army moved, Timur in the rear could immediately lead the army out. At that time, the Ming army could not take care of the head and tail and would inevitably collapse thousands of miles away.

So this battle is actually a test of the strength of the Ming army. Although Timur gained the upper hand in the previous battles, Timur was still a little suspicious, feeling that this was not the true strength of the Ming army. After all, Harriel's 50,000 troops were wiped out before, and this incident also caused a great psychological shadow on Timur.

So in this case, Timur wanted to test the true strength of the Ming army. The number of troops fighting before was too small, so the Ming army might hide its strength. Now he has dispatched a large army of 100,000, and the Ming army has only more than 200,000, so it will definitely force the Ming army to go all out.

Thinking of his father's advice to him before going to war, a little anger flashed across Shaharu's face, because Timur told him that if he could defeat the Ming army, he would try his best to capture more prisoners, especially some generals in the Ming army.

Although Timur didn't say why he wanted to capture prisoners, Shaharu guessed Timur's intention at once. Because Haril was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to capture more prisoners. Only in this way can he have chips to exchange for the captured Haril.

When Shaharu thought of this, he was extremely annoyed. He was obviously the son of his father, and after the death of his eldest and second brothers, Haril's father was disabled, so in Shaharu's view, his father's position should belong to him no matter what, not Haril's grandson.

But now Timur's performance broke Shaharu's fantasy. The other party was obviously determined to leave the throne to Haril. Even if Haril was humiliated to be defeated and captured, he still could not change Timur's determination, which made Shaharu both angry and disappointed.

Just as Shaharu was thinking about it, his army finally reached the right wing of the Ming army. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed together, and the tents were connected, which was like a city.
