- The fertile Mesopotamia in the Middle East has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. From ancient Rome to the Persian Empire, to the Mongols, Turks, and Arabs, almost every powerful country and tribe will not let go. through this fertile land.
So much so that in this ancient land, civilization has gone through many ups and downs, and the cycle of prosperity, decline, prosperity, and decline has been going on, as if it would never end.
The city of Baghdad.
¡°Dong dong~dong dong~¡±
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of shelling, Ottoman soldiers launched an attack on this ancient city like a tide.
The abominable Persians took advantage of the war between the Ottoman Empire and Egypt to conduct a sneak attack from behind and sent troops to capture the Mesopotamia. How could the Ottoman Empire, which had regained its composure, swallow this sigh of relief.
" Two hundred thousand troops were mobilized directly from the European Thin Line to the Eastern Front to have a good fight with the Persian army and the Egyptian army to determine the status of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East.
The powerful military front of the Ottoman Empire is invincible wherever it goes, and it is invincible. In the entire Mesopotamia, only Baghdad has not yet been conquered.
Here, the Persian Empire gathered a hundred thousand troops to defend the city.
Once Baghdad is lost, the Persians will be driven back to the Persian Plateau by the Ottoman Empire and lose ownership of this land. This is something Ismail I absolutely cannot accept.
He has coveted this land for a long time and has long wanted to include this fertile land in his territory.
The Persian Plateau where the Persians are located is actually very barren, with many mountains and uneven land. There are really few good places. If the Persians want to become stronger, they must occupy this fertile land in the Mesopotamia.
Apart from this, the Persian Empire really had no direction in which to expand.
To the north is the powerful Ming Empire. The Hezhong area is very rich, but the Ming people are not easy to mess with. If they don't attack you, they will burn incense. How can you dare to worry about the Ming people in the Hezhong area.
To the east are the colonies of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese Kingdom, and the Koreans, and they are not very hot. The Ning Kingdom is the most powerful vassal state at present. It has strong soldiers and horses, and rich people, so it cannot be messed with.
The countries of Japan and Korea were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and the younger brothers who followed the Ming Dynasty were not easy to mess with.
To the south is the Arabian Peninsula, a barren desert area, which is given to Persia for free. Persia must consider whether to take it or not. If it wants people and no one, it doesn¡¯t matter what it wants. It is a place where birds don¡¯t poop.
Only the Mesopotamia in the southwest has fertile land and a large population. It is a treasure land. Whoever occupies it can basically determine their status and hegemony in the Middle East world.
Baghdad cannot be lost under any circumstances. 强牺 zongyiwx.com 读牺
"Kill! Kill!"
On the walls of Baghdad, the Persians roared.
Cannons one after another were not to be outdone and attacked the Ottoman Empire army.
¡°Dong dong~dong dong~
The sound of violent shelling resounded through the sky, and the billowing smoke covered the city, but it was quickly blown away by a strong wind.
¡°Bang~bang!¡±
Above the city, dense gunshots continued to ring out.
This kind of musket from the Ming Empire has a long range, high accuracy, and full lethality. It can be said that it has every advantage when used to defend the city. With every wave of gunfire, countless Ottoman soldiers fell on the city. .
However, the Ottoman Empire is also bound to win Baghdad.
The powerful Ottoman Empire has never lost except to the Ming Dynasty once. As for the Persians.
In the past, they were often bullied by the Ottoman Empire. If anything happened, they would go directly to the Persians and kill the Great Bliss, driving the Persians to the east like bereft dogs.
Now, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Persians have become spirits.
"I heard that they were in conflict with the Spanish in West Africa, and they came to rob the Mesopotamia of the Ottoman Empire. If they don't give the Persians a lesson, they may forget the power of the Ottoman Empire.
The mighty Persian army surged towards Baghdad to attack.
Every moment, a large number of soldiers died, like a meat grinder, causing both sides to bleed continuously, and the fight was extremely fierce.
¡°Why haven¡¯t the Egyptians taken action yet?¡±
"What are they waiting for?"
"Are we going to wait until we are all killed and they wait to be taken care of by the Ottoman Empire?"
On the top of the city, Musa, the commander-in-chief of the Persian Empire army, was covered in blood. The battle was very fierce. It had been going on for several days. The Ottoman Empire army almost took turns in the battle and launched endless attacks. It had been fought several times. When they reached the top of the city, they almost attacked, but in the end they fought desperately to repel the attack of the Ottoman army.
Musa knew that there would be no way for Persia to support him.
The Persian Empire is now fighting on two fronts. It is fighting fiercely with the Spaniards in West Africa, desperately trying to seize colonies, and it is facing off against the Ottoman Empire here.
In fact, Persia¡¯s national strength is not strong, and it cannot support a two-front war. The national treasury has been drained dry, and it has borrowed huge funds from the Ming Dynasty to operate, and there is no way to support it.
The only people we can count on now are the Egyptians. At this time zong*yi wx.com Zhang Si
During the last war between Egypt and the Ottoman Empire, Persia made a surprise attack on the two river basins, forcing the Ottoman Empire's army to retreat. Therefore, the two sides formed an alliance to jointly fight against the Ottoman Empire.
Now that the Ottoman Empire¡¯s army is besieging Baghdad, it is also a good time for the Egyptians to launch a sneak attack on the Ottoman Empire.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ottoman army that was attacking the city quickly receded like a tide, and then began to evacuate Baghdad without even looking back.
"Could it be that the Egyptians succeeded?"
Musa breathed a heavy sigh of relief and began to speculate as he looked at the retreating Ottoman army.
Soon, good news came. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
The Egyptian army made a sneak attack on the rear of the Ottoman Empire and directly cut off the food supply line of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Army, which lacked food supplies, had to postpone its attack on Baghdad. After retreating, it quickly stabilized its rear and at the same time attacked The Egyptian side launched an attack.

The two sides fought a big battle near Damascus City. In the end, the Ottoman Empire defeated the Egyptians by virtue of its superiority in military strength.
But the Persians in Baghdad took the opportunity to take back several large cities in the two river basins, so the Ottoman Empire had to divide its troops to guard the two river basins again.
The three armies were constantly engaged in tug-of-war with each other in the Middle East. For a while, no one could do anything to the other.
Since ancient times, once war breaks out, it is undoubtedly the biggest disaster for ordinary people.
At this moment, the same is true for the entire Middle East.
The armies of the three parties, the Egyptians, the Persians, and the Ottomans, fought repeatedly on this land. The two sides came and went. Often, the walls of a city had not yet been repaired, and it soon changed hands.

This has almost become a public matter.

Every siege is bound to be accompanied by massive killing and looting.
Now no one is spared. The local soldiers who were captured and the common people who were looted everywhere can be sold to the Ming people in exchange for free money or food, medicine, weapons and equipment that the army urgently needs, etc.

Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t have money. You can exchange it for slaves. The high price of a slave, nearly 20 taels of silver, is enough to exchange for a cart of grain. Is there any more cost-effective deal than this?
Under this trend, the armies of the three parties have become accustomed to sweeping around, arresting people when they see them, and selling them to the Ming Dynasty people in exchange for money and supplies.
