In the far west of the Asian continent, on the mountainous plateau in the northern part of the Asia Minor Peninsula, Erzincan, the capital of the Anatolian province of the Ottoman Empire, stands on this plateau.
This happened in spring, when everything was recovering and flowers were blooming. From time to time, a bit of cold wind blew from the Black Sea in the north, which made people in Erzinjan unable to help but wrap up their clothes tightly.
Erzincan, this is a city with a story.
A few decades ago, this was the land that belonged to the Aries Dynasty. Sultan Mehmet II of the Ottoman Empire defeated the Aries Dynasty with the help of strong force. It was under this city that he won the battle of Erzincan. Expanded the power of the Ottoman Empire into the Caucasus.
However, times have changed. At this moment, the city of Erzinzhan is surrounded by 200,000 Ming troops from the east. The Ming Empire's army is like a surging wave. Everything in its path has been destroyed. net.
The Ming army did not need land, cities, or population. They were like killing machines. They killed countless people wherever they went, purely for revenge and revenge for the massacre of cities in the river area by the Ottoman army.
Starting from the southern shore of the Khazar Sea (Caspian Sea), the army of the Ming Empire marched all the way west to Salemas, Erivan, Ale, Kars, and Erzurum. The Ming Empire's army fought from the Caspian Sea to darkness. On the south bank, I had no intention of stopping at all, and planned to go straight to the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
On the top of the city of Erzinjan, Ibrahim, the governor of Anatolia, looked at the Ming army outside the city, and his whole hands could not help but tremble.
The Ming army was really too powerful. It attacked the city all the way and was invincible. No matter how strong the city was, it could not stop the Ming army's attack. Under the powerful artillery attack, the hard city wall would fall down.
The Ming army¡¯s muskets were extremely terrifying, and coupled with the cavalry that were armed to the teeth, wherever the Ming army went, the Ottoman Empire¡¯s armies continued to be defeated, as if they were made of paper, and they were no match for the Ming army.
Now, we have finally arrived at the city of Erzincan. Once the city of Erzincan is captured by the Ming army, the Ming army will completely open the fortress and passage for the westward advance. At that time, they can advance all the way westward and approach the city of Istanbul.
Therefore, Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire issued an order to Ibrahim to defend the city of Erzinjan, and almost all the armies that could be raised on the Asia Minor Peninsula were gathered in the city of Erzinjan, preparing to A good bloody battle with the Ming army.
It is naturally best to defeat the Ming army. If not, it can also buy time for the Sultan to mobilize troops. Because of the murder of Prince Ahmed, the Sultan has ordered the withdrawal of the Grand Vizier Alipa from the peace talks. In the Xia Dynasty, they organized as many as 500,000 troops and were marching on a starry night. They must leave all 200,000 Ming troops here, and even lead their troops into the river and fight all the way to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Bayezid II threatened to cut off the Ming Emperor¡¯s head and use it to make wine vessels in memory of his son.
Although he held 200,000 troops in his hands, almost as many as the Ming army outside the city, Ibrahim did not intend to fight head-on with the Ming army.
He clearly knew his mission, delaying time and buying time for the Sultan. As soon as the Sultan's 500,000-strong army arrived, plus the 200,000-strong army in front of him, a full 700,000-strong army would be easily destroyed. Two hundred thousand Ming troops were in front of them.
So his plan was to defend the city, defend Erzinjan City to the death, and block the Ming army's westward advance.
On a hillside outside the city, Australian Duke Yang Yun, Hexi Hou Huoying, Hexi General Liao Yuan and other generals were standing on the hillside, holding telescopes in their hands and carefully observing the city of Erzinjan in front of them. .
The city of Erzinjan is not too tall, nor is it a particularly dangerous or difficult city to attack, but in this small city in front of you, there are already 200,000 Ottoman troops gathered.
The city wall was densely packed with defenders. There were so many guards that there was no place to stand on the city wall, and every corner was full of people.
"According to the intelligence from the Persians, the Ottoman Empire has concentrated almost all the armies on the Asia Minor Peninsula into this city, with a total of 200,000 people."
Huo Ying looked at the city in front of him, thought about it and said.
It is not just the Ming Dynasties who are attacking the Ottoman Empire at the moment. The Persians, the Ottoman Empire's long-standing enemies, will naturally not miss this opportunity. They are very knowledgeable about current affairs and provide intelligence, food and other logistics supplements for the Ming army. They also send troops to take charge. Maintain rear haulage road safety.
Of course, in return, the Ming Empire promised that all the conquered Ottoman Empire territory could be handed over to the Persians. The Persians had no reason to refuse such a deal.
What's more, there is no doubt about the strength of the Ming army. The Persians also hope that the Ming army can severely damage the Ottoman Empire. In this way, the Persians will have one less powerful enemy, and it will be much easier to face the Ottoman Empire in the future.
Therefore, Emperor Ismail I of the Safavid Empire of Persia almost devoted all the strength of the country to support the Ming army. There were as many as 300,000 people to supplement the transportation of later supplies for the Ming army, and 200,000 troops were at the rear of the Ming army. Taking over lands and cities, while also maintaining order in these places.
"I heard that the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire was furious because we killed that Prince Ahmed. He summoned an army of 500,000 people across the country and was traveling under the stars and night."
"These people in front of us obviously intend to defend the city and wait for their main army to arrive before they fight us decisively."
Liao Yuan looked at the city in front of him, then looked at the map, thought about it and said.
"Getting angry?"
"Why didn't they think about today when they attacked our Daming Hezhong area?"
"Why didn't they think about today when they massacred my Ming people?"
After Yang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but sneered.
Your son is a treasure, but the children of Ming Dynasty are not treasures?
If we just attack the Hezhong area and don¡¯t massacre the city, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will not be so angry. Now, the whole country of Ming Dynasty is also angry. The Emperor has already spoken, and the Ottoman Empire must pay a bloody price.
Unlike previous wars, this time, Ming Dynasty did not do it for land, gold and silver, but only for revenge, revenge for the Ottoman Empire's massacre of cities in the Transoxiana region.
"Where did the Persian army attack?"
After pondering for a while, Yang Yun thought about it and asked again.
"This is the location of Fan City!"
Liao Yuan opened the map, pointed at a place and said.
"Where is Fancheng?"
When Yang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "It seems that the Persians were frightened by the Ottoman Empire, and they only attacked the position of Fan City. Are they watching a show, or are they just prepared? Are you following us?"
??Fan City is a city near the border between the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire. It is very close to Persia, which means that the Persian Empire's 100,000-strong army has been pretending.
"We didn't expect them to begin with. It's enough that they can protect our backside and help transport grain, grass and supplies."
¡°The Persian Empire now is no longer the Persian Empire it was back then.¡±
Huo Ying said with a smile.
"What's the situation in Europe?"
Yang Yun nodded slightly, to be honest, he really didn¡¯t expect the Persians. This time they attacked the Ottoman Empire, the Ming Dynasty was not prepared enough. It was already thousands of miles away from the river area, and supplies became very difficult.
Fortunately, the Ming Empire now has enough influence, and the Persians are feuding with the Ottoman Empire. Food, grass, weapons and ammunition from the river area can be transported continuously.
At the same time, on the Persian Gulf side, Ming Dynasty could also mobilize grain, grass and armed equipment from Tianzhu and let the Persians transport it over. Otherwise, the army would have run out of grain and grass along the way.
For this reason, Yang Yun also implemented the policy of looting from the beginning. He attacked wherever he went and robbed money, grain and grass, armed equipment, horses, cattle and sheep, etc.
¡°Hungary, Austria, Poland and other countries in Europe had already organized large armies to attack the territories of the Ottoman Empire on the Balkan Peninsula, hoping to regain the lost territory in the past, but it seems that the progress is not going very smoothly.¡±
"As for the merchants of the Republic of Venice, they don't seem to want to overly stimulate the Ottoman Empire for fear of affecting future trade with the Ottoman Empire."
"We can't have too much hope in these. After all, we are all outsiders. In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves. Our Ming Dynasty's European fleet has now arrived in Italy. As long as we defeat the Ottoman Empire's navy, we can directly attack Istanbul."
Liao Yuan thought for a while and said.
The current Ming Empire is really no longer the original Ming Empire. Not only can it attack the Ottoman Empire thousands of miles away, it can also attack simultaneously by waterway. There happens to be a fleet in the Mediterranean, and it can also attack from the Indian Ocean. While dispatching grain, grass and supplies to the front line to support the empire's army.
"They are all still waiting and watching, waiting for us to start a bloody battle with the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire lost 200,000 troops in our river and suffered heavy losses, but this does not make these neighbors who are afraid of the Ottoman Empire take action. .¡±
"Hehe~"
"When we destroy the 200,000 Ottoman Empire troops in front of us, they will really take action against the Ottoman Empire!"
Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, looked at the map and immediately understood the plans of all parties.
Although the neighbors around the Ottoman Empire are all fighting on the border, and are even attacking the Ottoman Empire in a decent way, they are still watching the show, still waiting for news, waiting for news of the decisive battle between the armies of the Ming Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire.
