vs 1020 Preparations for the city of Cairo
Egypt is the support point of the Ottoman Empire in Africa, and the Governor's Palace in Cairo is particularly magnificent, with a wide and tall arch standing in the middle, arcades on both sides, and towers at the four corners, which is the kind of red building, which is very eye-catching.
The interior is full of greenery, the courtyard is deep, and there is a beautiful fountain!
The council hall is magnificent, this is the center of power in Egypt, and even the center of Africa, and most of the actions that affect Africa are issued here, relying on the support here!
The dignitaries who came in and out of the room were luxuriously dressed, arrogant, and pretentious, which was their pride in the empire and the satisfaction of the power in their hands.
But today, all the officials feel that the atmosphere here is heavy, and the seat is on fire and burning their buttocks, and their scalps are numb when they think about it!
Tens of thousands of Chinese people came to attack, tens of thousands of flintlock pistols!
I don't know how many people there are in the back!
Egypt is the land of four wars, although the bureaucrats are greedy, but not fuel-efficient lamps, they know that the Chinese are good at the use of guns and firearms, if they show the spirit of artillery battle with the Hongmao battleship, if they do not retreat, then Cairo will be in big trouble!
"Mobilize all! Let's go to war! "The military governor Emre had a big beard and a good look, he came from the palace guard in Istanbul, he was an authentic Turk, a veteran.
His official position is "Liwa", which is equivalent to a major general in the army, and he knows the situation of the army best, and knows that the Chinese are not good, and the good ones are not coming, and tens of thousands of musketeers are really difficult to deal with.
Then let's go to Cairo together!
What's even more ruthless is that once the people in Cairo get together with the invading Chinese, then the blood debt will be repaid, as long as the two sides are entangled, they will have the benefits of the Ottoman Empire.
Emre's wishful thinking, supported by Katabor Pasha, immediately ordered civil and military officials to go to the city to spread the word that the invasion of the Chinese would bring the empire's territory, the sacred city of Cairo, and all the people took up arms and prepared for battle!
As the Chinese advanced, more information arrived, and the officials knew that the vanguard of the Chinese attack had 3,000 cavalry and about 6,000 infantry!
"The cavalry is one man and three horses, and they advance quickly, while the infantry runs and advances, and the speed is also very fast!" The spy still had a shocked look on his face, he didn't expect that the cavalry was fast enough for one person and three horses, and those Chinese infantry could actually run and follow behind!
What kind of training and tenacity does it take to do this?
At least not the proud Turks!
Wrong!
The spy shouted in his heart, "No! ”
Remembering the huge necks and thick waists of those brown-skinned young men he had seen, he immediately reported: "The rear army of the Chinese is Indians, at least a thousand!" ”
The Chinese cavalry has one man and three horses!
The Chinese infantry followed behind the cavalry and was not pulled away by the cavalry?
The Chinese rear army is Indian?!
Especially the last sentence, the Arabian Nights! Hearing this, all the dignitaries in the council hall looked at each other, and if they didn't see the spies sane, they would almost have driven him out of the council hall as a madman.
The Chinese are tenacious, can you imagine that the Indians can actually run forward?
Aha, can the three pots fight?
Their reputation for not being able to fight is far and wide, and they can be regarded as notorious, and no one in the world knows the king!
Whether they can fight or not, this is an opportunity!
Emre's eyes froze, and he immediately proposed: "Our cavalry fights their rear!" ”
Katabor Pasha agreed: "Good, Selim! He summoned his cavalry commander and said, "Take two thousand cavalry and raid their rear!" ”
Selim, a thick-eyed officer with a stout physique, replied in a heroic voice: "The Indians will be wiped out!" ”
Hehe, just kidding, I don't know the situation when I beat the Chinese, if I beat the Indians, one laborer and one person can beat three of them, and one soldier under his command can beat two Indian soldiers, so if you destroy more than 1,000 Indian soldiers, it will take less than 2,000 people, and you can't do 200 people!
Seeing that his face was full of arrogance and did not take the Indians seriously, Emre reminded him: "The Indians are just partial divisions and small troops, and the large troops are Chinese!" You must defeat the Indians as quickly as possible, so as to chill the enemy, and then look for fighters to help our army destroy the enemy! If you can't even take it down with the Indians, or if you can't take it quickly, even the Indians are not as good as ......! ”
The words behind him accentuated his tone, Selim's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Liva, for your advice!" ”
He left the hall, and a person came in from outside, but it was Amin, an officer sent out by Katabo Pasha just now, an Afghan, a confidant of the governor, who was ruthless, and was sent to arrest the Chinese in the city, but when he saw him with a gloomy face, he said: "All the Chinese are gone, and they have all run away!" ”
"We searched around, and some people said that the Chinese had already fled and hidden!" Amin said.
There were still Chinese in Cairo, so Katabor Pasha sent Amin to arrest those Chinese, but he didn't expect to fail.
Katabor Pasha's heart moved!
He took a deep breath and said to the officials in the hall with a cruel smile: "I can't find the Chinese, it must be that there are people in the city who are half-hearted and want to eat inside and outside, and shelter them." Don't look at the strength of the Chinese now, once our empire gathers an army, we can tear all the attacking Chinese apart and throw them in the desert! ”
His words swept through the crowd like a storm, and all of them bowed their heads in unison and said, "We are loyal to the Empire, and we have no two hearts!" ”
The Ottoman Empire was so famous that no one dared to take Katabor Pasha's words lightly!
"Good!" Katabo Pasha waved his hand and said, "Okay, go your separate ways and get ready for battle!" ”
"As for the Chinese in the city, after the battle, they will make a big rope, and whoever dares to protect them will be exterminated!" Katabor Pasha announced loudly.
……
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" The bells rang in Cairo, and the whole city was shaken.
The city of Cairo is a religious city, and the city is full of minarets, and when the bell rings, all the towers are in harmony, and everyone knows it.
It was not the Imam who called everyone to pray, but all the men who took up arms and fought to the death against the infidels from the East!
There were people everywhere in the streets who propagated: "The Chinese are attacking and want to occupy our Cairo, and we must not let them succeed!" ”
"Fight! Fight, fight for God, fight for our honor! Fight for Cairo! ”
"I'd rather die a glorious battle and be a true warrior than a coward!"
"This is jihad!"
"Warriors, heaven is open to you! Let's fight! Let's fight! ”
"Quick! Come on! Meet in the east of the city! ”
……
The city of Cairo is boiling!
The men drew their scimitars, their spears, and their bows and arrows, and they sharpened their weapons, and hurried out of the city to the appointed assembly point.
Some men mounted horses and camels, and covered their faces like desert thieves.
Perhaps, these people themselves are desert bandits, with people inside the city and robbers outside the city.
The crowds were surging, the people were gathered in the east of the city, and the officers and soldiers of the Cairo city defense army were busy giving them formations.
When the Chinese advance reached the outskirts of Cairo, they would have to deal with an army of 80,000!
The Scout saw the crowd in the dark through the telescope and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! ”
