Chapter 694: The Ottoman Empire Looting While the Fire Is Burning

Just when the Manchus defeated the Persian army and invaded Isfahan, the capital of the Persian Empire, and besieged the palace of the Persian Empire and was about to destroy the Persian Empire, on the western border of the Persian Empire, the 180,000 troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, under the command of the famous Ottoman general Marshal Ghetević, completely annihilated the 20,000 border troops of the Persian Empire and invaded the territory of the Persian Empire.

Marshal Ghetewich had fought against Marshal Kleft of the Persian Empire many times, and was a famous Ottoman general whose military talent was not inferior to that of Marshal Kleft of Persia.

This time, Marshal Hetevich was ordered by the Ottoman Emperor to seize a large number of Persian territory and expand the territory of the Ottomans by taking advantage of the decisive battle between the Manchus and the Persian Empire against Isfahan.

The Ottoman Empire, which rose to prominence after the destruction of the Byzantine Empire 200 years ago, has grown to its peak with a population of 30 million, stretching from the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Poland in the north, to Austria and the Holy Roman Empire in Central Europe in the west, to North Africa in the south, and Baghdad in the east.

For more than 100 years, the Ottoman Turkish Empire never gave up expanding its territory, fighting the European coalition in the west, the Russian Empire in the north, and the Persian Empire in the east.

Although the European countries are scattered, the extensive use of firearms in recent decades has completely resisted the offensive pace of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and there is no way to deal with the Ottoman Turkish Empire to the west for the time being.

To the north, the Tsarist Russian Empire was cold, and the Tsarist Russian Empire also fought every year, with many troops, and its territory was broader than that of the Ottomans, and it also resisted the attack of the Ottoman Turks, and the south and North Africa were deserts, so the goal of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's expansion in the past ten years has been in the direction of the Persian Empire in the East.

The Persian Empire was undoubtedly extremely powerful, and even defeated the Ottoman Empire under the leadership of the previous monarch, but unfortunately, since the death of the previous monarch of the Persian Empire and the succession of the current emperor of the Persian Empire, the Persian Empire has declined at a very rapid rate.

About a decade ago, the Ottomans finally launched an all-out assault on the Persian Empire for the riches of Baghdad.

After years of fierce fighting, six years ago, the Ottoman Empire finally completely defeated the Persian Empire's army in the Battle of Baghdad, capturing Baghdad and other places that originally belonged to the Persian Empire.

Although the Persian Empire was defeated and lost a large amount of rich territory, the Ottoman Empire also lost a large number of elites and lost a lot of vitality.

Since then, the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire have been engaged in small battles, and for many times there have been battles between Kleft and Ghetevich, which have won and lost each other.

Originally, after the great war six years ago, the Ottoman Empire, which was also badly injured, did not want to fight the Persian Empire again so quickly, after all, the rotten ship still had three pounds of nails, and he was not yet confident that the Persian Empire would be completely destroyed, especially if there was still KGGRID.

However, more than three years ago, the Manchus moved westward to the northeastern border of the Persian Empire, and since then they have risen, and they have buried the last 100,000 elites of the Persian Empire in the Battle of Murkala two years ago, and cut off large territories such as Murkara and Sevas of the Persian Empire, and established an empire known as the Qing Dynasty in Murkara, which has since become a nightmare more terrifying than the Ottomans in the eyes of the Persian Empire.

The news reached the ears of the Ottoman Emperor, who sensed for a moment that the opportunity had come to encroach on Persian territory again.

Especially when the pillar of the Persian Empire, the old marshal Kgreid, was hanged by the Persian emperor, the Ottoman emperor simply laughed on the spot and immediately began to prepare a large army to attack the Persian Empire.

Although the Ottoman territory was vast and gradually recovered from the Battle of Baghdad in four years, it was not possible to mobilize enough troops and materials to attack the Persian Empire.

This preparation took nearly half a year.

After the Battle of Murkara, the Persian Emperor deeply felt that the newly built Qing Empire in the northeast was like a sharp sword, and it could fall down at any time to destroy his empire, so after negotiating peace with the Qing Empire, the Persian Emperor frantically expanded his army.

By the time the Ottoman Emperor had prepared his troops, the Persian Empire had rebuilt more than 200,000 troops, although the Persian Empire was obviously aimed at the Manchu Qing Empire, most of which were deployed in Isfahan and other surrounding areas, and if the Ottoman army invaded Persia, it would also be easy to capture a large area of Persian territory, but the Ottoman Emperor hesitated.

Because he knew very well that if he really ordered the whole army to invade the territory of the Persian Empire, the 200,000 troops of the Persian Empire, which had been intended to defend against the Manchus, would turn to resist his Ottoman army.

Although the newly built Persian army must not be as elite as his Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire has just recovered, and the European countries are ready to move, and the Ottoman Emperor does not want to attack the Persian Empire and the Persian Empire army in such a big way, so that the European countries and Tsarist Russia and the Qing Empire will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It took more than half a year for the Ottoman Emperor to hesitate and test the situation in European countries, and the Persian Empire expanded its army to more than 300,000 under the madness of the Persian Emperor.

At this time, the Ottoman emperor completely gave up the decision to attack the Persian Empire with a large army.

Of course, it was not that the Ottoman Emperor did not have the confidence to defeat these newly formed Persian armies, although they were large in number, but after all, the Ottoman Emperor, as a talented hero, was keenly aware of the Manchu ambition to annex the Persian Empire, and the Persian Empire's crazy formation of an army was too obvious to resist the Manchu Qing Empire.

The Ottoman emperor did not think that he should go to the death with the Persian army at this time, and let the Manchu Qing Empire take advantage of it in vain.

Yes, why let the Manchu Qing Empire pick up the cheap for nothing, can't it be that he the Ottoman Empire picked up this cheap for nothing?

Of course!

The Ottoman emperor firmly believed that it would not be long before the Manchus would attack the Persian Empire in an all-out way, and then the hundreds of thousands of troops newly formed by the Persian Empire would all go to resist the Manchus and fight to the death with the Manchus.

At that time, the Ottoman Empire can not only conquer a large amount of territory of the Persian Empire without hindrance, but may also be able to destroy the Persian Empire and the Manchu Qing Empire when the Persian Empire and the Manchus are both defeated.

It was based on this idea that the Ottoman emperor finally relented and ordered the army that had already been prepared to hide not far from the border and wait for orders.

As the Ottoman Emperor expected, since then, in less than a year, the Manchus have really attacked the Persian Empire in an all-out way, and the decisive battle between the Persian Empire and the Manchus has begun, and almost all the armies of the Persian Empire have gone to resist the Manchus.

When this news was received, the Ottoman emperor did not hesitate and immediately ordered a large army to invade Persia.

By this moment, the Ottoman army had been in Persia for more than two days, just in time for the decisive battle between the Persian Empire and the Manchus in Isfahan.

The Ottoman army was cool, except for the annihilation of 20,000 Persian border troops in the first day, it was almost like entering a no-man's land, and there was not much resistance at all, and they attacked the cities of the Persian Empire to their heart's content.

Now, in just one day, the Ottoman army has attacked from multiple fronts at the same time, and has captured ten cities of the Persian Empire in a row, and it is still expanding at a rapid pace.
