Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

The Ottoman Deli Legion is the most unique cavalry unit among the Ottoman Turkish armies.

Because the pronunciation of 'Deli' means wild in Turkish, and the temperament and dress of the cavalry of this regiment are relatively stream-of-consciousness, they are also called the Wild Legion by the Central Asian countries.

This named Wild Cavalry Legion was established in the mid-14th century.

After its establishment, its main purpose was to protect the empire's borders. It was founded by an imperial border governor at the time (similar to the Ming Dynasty's border general). It was mainly composed of Turks and Balkans. At first, the size of the army was not large, just a few people. A light cavalry army of about 10,000 people.

Later, because of the wild style and fierce performance of this army, its reputation quickly spread throughout Central Asia, and was valued by the Ottoman Emperor. Then its scale expanded rapidly, and the business scope of the army was also expanded. The Wild Army could no longer They were no longer simply used to defend the border, but became a ghost-like assault force on the empire's front line.

During the war, as the sharpest knife in the empire, it always stabbed into the heart of the enemy.

In peacetime, this wild army became the garrison of the nobles. They received high military expenses every month, and their status was second only to the nobles. They lived and drank in a very comfortable way.

As for why they dress themselves up in strange shapes on the battlefield and advertise themselves as "non-mainstream", the main reason is that these people think that making themselves more fancy can give the enemy a certain deterrent effect on the battlefield. .

From this logical point of view, there is some truth. Ordinary people will indeed give in a little bit when they see that Shamate is not mainstream.

.....................

Jiajing time and space, one of the border cities of the Ottoman Empire, a famous city, Baghdad.

Baghdad, well-known as the capital of a certain country in later generations, was captured and annexed by the Ottoman Empire. During the Ottoman Empire's rule, Baghdad was the capital of the Baghdad Province of the Ottoman Empire.

The city is magnificent, with numerous characteristic buildings at a glance. During the most prosperous period in history, Baghdad, along with Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and Constantinople of Byzantium, were known as the three most famous cities in the world and the absolute center of civilization.

The most popular fairy tale "One Thousand and One Nights" in later generations is based on Baghdad, which depicts magnificent palaces, picturesque city gardens, wonderful and thrilling illusions, and rich customs. Draw materials.

In addition, Baghdad has the oldest university in the world, Mustanhiriya University. It can also be seen from this that this city also undertakes educational functions.

Because of this, it further illustrates the importance of this city in the Ottoman Empire. It can be said to be the border fortress of the Ottoman Empire.

Therefore.

When Lu Bu and Zhao Yun led their troops into the Ottoman Empire, their eyes were first focused on the city of Baghdad.

The reason for taking Baghdad is also simple.

First, occupying this important border city is equivalent to driving a nail into the Ottoman homeland. With Baghdad as the starting point, most of the Ottoman local troops will be involved, which will allow the other five routes to enter the Ottoman territory. , the pressure was drastically reduced.

Second, the attack took too long and supplies were needed.

In this attack, speed was the first priority. In order to ensure the speed of the attack, even some standard firearms were given up. The army rations carried by the attacking troops were extremely limited. Everyone could save one bite after another, especially at the end. In the second half of the period, we basically lived on a daily basis. If we hadn't been passing through Russia and a kind-hearted Maozi sent a wave of military rations, we might not have been able to make it to the Ottoman Empire.

After Zhao Yun and Lu Bu joined forces, they had a total of six to seven thousand people. With the productivity of this era, ordinary small cities could not afford the food expenditure of such an army. They had to choose a big city, and this is Baghdad. Most preferred.

We have already entered the city, so naturally we can no longer eat coarse grains, we must eat fine grains.

If you don't take advantage of the masses, you are targeting your own people. These Central Asian hairy men with beards per capita are not included in the consideration.

The southern gate of Baghdad, the southern suburbs.

At a glance, this southern suburb is filled with boundless wilderness. This kind of terrain is extremely suitable for cavalry to charge.

On top of the city tower in the south of Baghdad, the Governor of Baghdad, who has a big beard on his face, has a confident smile on his face at the moment. Next to him, there is a thin second-rate man standing with a bow, who should be a dog-headed strategist or something. Role.

"Sir Governor, do you want to report the enemy's attack immediately? After all, most of the current empire's combat power has already left the mainland."

The words fell.

The bearded Governor of Baghdad waved his hands and smiled, his face filled with confidence, and he did not take this matter seriously at all.

"No need to submit, it's just some scum. I have 20,000 Deli knights and slaughter them like pigs and dogs!"

"When all these pigs and dogs are slaughtered, their heads are chopped off, and the battle report is presented to receive the credit, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be overjoyed."

At the moment, the Ottomans and Suleiman, as commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, are in the Mughals.

The person who stayed in Constantinople to supervise the country was Suleiman's son Selim, who was later called Selim the Blond, also known as Selim the Drunkard.

As he spoke.

In this wilderness, the wild army with bird feathers and wings, after a mad charge, was already fighting the Ming army.

As soon as the battle began, the scene became clear.

One on the left and the other on the right, Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong led more than a hundred horsemen. Like two sharp blades, they circled at a high speed and then penetrated into the flanks of the wild army.

This operation seems to be drifting, like two sharp knives, striking directly at the opponent's kidneys in an unexpected way.

Suddenly.

The wild legion, which was originally high-spirited and howling, suddenly became chaotic under the charge of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and it could be seen that they were a little panicked.

They suddenly discovered that the chicken feathers on their bodies that were usually feared by others could not have any impact on the other party at this moment. The guys in front of them were like a group of hungry wolves, killing whoever they caught!

This is also understandable.

I have traveled seven or eight thousand miles day and night, and now I finally caught a bite of meat, can I let him go? !

not to mention.

With Lu Bu and Zhao Yun as the vanguard, the two used powerful force to clear the way, creating one gap after another in the Ottoman wild legion. Every time they broke through, the cavalry behind them rushed in like hungry wolves.

In front of the Ming army, these birdmen were like chopping melons and vegetables.

After going back and forth more than ten times, this wild army was no longer very wild and no longer howling. They even started to retreat one after another, as if they were about to run away.

however.

Just at this time.

From the diagonal rear of the Wild Legion, there was suddenly billowing smoke and dust, and above the military flag, a flowing word "Chang" appeared. It was Chang Yuchun from the other side who had arrived.

The point of the long sword in the hand is invincible. Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu led two groups of troops respectively, and completely blocked the retreat of this group of wild knights at extremely fast speeds. As soon as they made contact, they were slashed wildly. This group of wild knights, under Chang Yuchun, The moment the Spring Army joined the melee, it completely collapsed.

Thinking that they have been the hegemon in Central Asia for so many years, they have always been the ones to attack others. Who would have thought that if they were attacked today, they would have to pay back if they were just messing around.

In fact, it can be understood after a little calculation.

The reason why these bird feathers are so popular in Central Asia is, to put it bluntly, they couldn't survive in North Asia in the early years. The reason why they couldn't survive is simply because they were beaten by the Ming Dynasty and had to go west to make a living.

And these cavalry are all powerful cavalry from Hongwu Yongle. They have been killing Tatars on horseback all their lives. How can the descendants of these Tatars be opponents? They are naturally suppressed by their blood.

If Bird Fei loses, there is no shame.

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Chang Yuchun, the three groups of people, like three giant oriental dragons, tightly entangled this wild army. Now these bird feathers can't win or run away. One of them Counting one, he could only be slaughtered around him, and the chicken feathers on his body seemed to fall all over the floor.

Looking at the Baghdad city tower, the bearded Governor of Baghdad had already disappeared the moment the wild army showed the potential to be surrounded and annihilated.

Seeing the defeat of the Wild Legion, this guy sneaked away without saying a word. After all, the only thing under his command that could fight was such a Wild Legion, and the other main combat forces were all transferred to the Mughal battlefield.

As for defending the city, just defend the city.

The sound of fighting in the southern suburbs of Baghdad shook the howling wind.

Of course, these sounds mainly come from the screams of wild bird feathers.

........................

Hongwu time and space, the main hall of Zuixian Tower.

Everyone looked at the scene of fighting in the light curtain, or the scene of bird feathers being slaughtered by the Ming army, with relaxed smiles in their eyes.

"I thought these trash covered in chicken feathers were so powerful at first, but I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable. They were simply devastating."

"They're all just a bunch of showboats."

"Fancy stuff."

"…………"

These emperors are all commenting on the performance of the Wild Legion.

Not to mention the everlasting fierce generals such as Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and Chang Yuchun, as well as bloodline suppression, and the flintlock firearms equipped by the Ming army, which are hundreds of years ahead of Central Asia.

At this moment, Wuzong Zhu Houzhao continued to analyze and explain based on the overall situation of the battlefield.

"Among the attacking armies, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Chang Yuchun have all broken into the Ottoman territory. After completely wiping out these chicken-feather armies, they can capture Baghdad and use Baghdad city as a temporary resting place. "

"After the replenishment is completed, we can go north in one fell swoop and attack Constantinople directly."

"Yu Chigong and Yang Zaixing, after gathering their troops, also captured a city to the east and are taking a break."

"Oh!"

At this time, Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao suddenly changed his tone and said with a little surprise.

"After Huo Qubing and Xiang Yu broke into the Ottoman Empire, they went straight to Constantinople without any modifications."

"Is this decision too reckless? Although most of the Ottoman military forces have been deployed to the Mughal front, Constantinople is not any other ordinary city, but the Ottoman imperial capital and a famous city through the ages. It has excellent Due to the terrain, no matter how many troops are mobilized, the imperial capital’s military strength is still guaranteed, at least more than 100,000.”

"Should we wait until the seven-pronged attacking army joins forces before launching an offensive against Constantinople?"

"Not only are Xiang Yu and Huo Qubing thinking, but I don't know if the other five-pronged attacking armies know that Xiang Yu and Huo Qubing are trying their best to kill Constantinople."

Hear the words.

Everyone looked away from the battlefield in Baghdad and looked at the two light curtains where Xiang Yu and Huo Qubing were.

as predicted.

In the screen of light, more than 3,000 Xiang Yu's troops were rushing wildly along the way, not caring about the cities along the way, and not making any repairs. Moreover, each of these 3,000 people were decorated.

Previously, Xiang Yujun fought a last-ditch battle in Maozi territory and knocked Ivan IV into autistic state. Although everyone was defeated, his eyes became extremely fierce and his whole body was full of evil energy, which was daunting. This was a real life-and-death fight. Metamorphosis.

Even the second ancestor War God Li Jinglong now has a palm-long scar on the left and right sides of his face, and his left shoulder is wrapped in a thick bandage. His eyes are full of determination and determination, and his whole person has a calm temperament, no longer as handsome as before. It's meant to be playful and frivolous.

When Lao Zhu saw Li Jinglong who had transformed into this appearance, his eyes were slightly surprised at first, and then he showed a look of relief. It was very meaningful to be able to create another powerful general for the Ming Dynasty instead of just a second-generation ancestor waiting to die. .

Along with Huo Qubing, these more than 4,000 elite cavalry were also running towards Constantinople day and night.

What's surprising is that although the troops under Huo Qubing's command continued to attack all the way, judging from the mental state of the sergeants, all of Huo Qubing's cavalrymen were in high spirits, as if they had been given blood. After such a long journey, it is simply a miracle that he can maintain such strong energy.

While everyone was observing Xiang Yu and Huo Qubing.

Sudden.

The voice of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao came up again. As the chief commentator on the scene, he always looked one step further than others when it came to watching the battle. When everyone was still paying attention to the seven-way attacking army, he had already turned his attention again. Returned to the main battlefield.

"Our army is on the attack!"

The words fell.

Everyone turned their eyes away, with astonishment in their eyes.

Is this the fight? !

Even Lao Zhu, Zhao Dali, Liu Laosan, Yingzheng, and the five bosses of the Supreme Command all frowned when they saw that the war was really starting in the light curtain.

At this moment, they were really a little numb.

What on earth is Wang Yangming doing?

Didn't you say before that you should wait for the enemy to launch an offensive?

How do you wait for this? Why are you taking the initiative to launch an offensive?

And with the current layout, he actually dared to take the initiative to launch an offensive. Is this because he thought the road to Lord Yama's home was too long and deliberately took a side road? ! (End of chapter)
