Chapter 1018: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire (3)

A large number of Ottoman soldiers trembled and fled backwards in fear. Net?

Originally, they had the momentum of collapse several times, but they were forcibly stopped by a large number of Ottoman nobles and generals who supervised the war behind them in a bloody way, but in the end, their morale and will to fight had been greatly damaged.

At this moment, in the face of the unstoppable attack of 4,000 Manchu Eight Banners and more than 1,000 Qing Army rifle teams, especially these more than 1,000 Qing Army rifle teams, aroused the fear of many Ottoman soldiers for the Ming army.

The Ottoman army finally collapsed, an unstoppable collapse.

"Don't retreat, kill all those who retreat!" A large number of Ottoman nobles and generals who oversaw the battle frantically stopped the rout of the Ottoman soldiers.

"Poof! Poof---- "Many of the fleeing Ottoman soldiers were slashed by them, but even if they killed hundreds of defeated people, they still could not stop the other Ottoman soldiers from escaping.

The defeat is like a mountain, and it is irreversible!

"Kill, ----" The Qing army took the opportunity to chase and kill, intending to follow the fleeing Ottoman soldiers and kill directly into the city of Constantinople.

Some of the Ottoman soldiers who were slow to flee were beheaded.

However, the Qing army was not able to directly enter the city of Constantinople, because more than two months ago, the Ming army followed the defeated Ottoman army directly into the city of Constantinople, and quickly besieged the Ottoman emperor in the palace, forcing the Ottoman Empire to sign the Treaty of Constantinople with the Ming Dynasty, paying 15 million silver coins, and directly squeezing out the last trace of national strength of the Ottoman Empire.

Therefore, the Ottoman emperor and nobles, of course, will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and before the Qing army began to ascend 6, the Ottoman Empire was prepared to close the gates of Constantinople in time.

However, after all, it was a defeated army, and the Ottoman soldiers had long since lost their fighting spirit, and even if the gates of Constantinople were closed in time, it was impossible to hold out for long under the attack of the Qing army.

Although the Qing army did not carry siege equipment such as ladders, the Qing army quickly transported several cannons across the strait and smashed the gates of Constantinople.

"Kill ---" The Qing army finally entered the city of Constantinople.

The Ottoman army in the city was defeated and returned to the city of Constantinople, and as soon as the Qing army entered the city, they were frightened and had no will to resist, and continued to flee directly to the north of Constantinople.

"God bless Your Majesty, escape!" As soon as the Qing army entered the city of Constantinople, the Ottoman emperor and some Ottoman nobles and officials also fled north of Constantinople.

Although the Qing army invaded the city of Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire still had territories such as Bulgaria and Greece, and as long as the Ottoman emperor was not captured or killed, the Ottoman Empire could survive.

After the Ottoman Emperor fled, the Ottoman army was routed out of Constantinople, and the Qing army soon captured Constantinople in its entirety.

Knowing that the Ottoman Emperor had fled, Dorgon was furious and ordered the Qing army to continue to pursue the Ottoman Emperor, and to step up the transportation of a number of war horses across the strait.

Since the strait was only two or three kilometers wide, the Qing army not only transported 20,000 war horses, but also more than 120,000 soldiers in one day and one night.

The rest of the Qing army stepped up to cross the strait, but Dolgon did not wait for all the Qing soldiers to cross the strait, but personally led 20,000 cavalry to pursue the Ottoman emperor who fled to Greece, and at the same time, ordered another 100,000 soldiers to attack Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania in three ways.

---------------------

For a day and a night, the Ottoman Emperor had just fled into Greece and was resting in the small town of Asimime, about ten kilometers from the border.

As the emperor of an immensely powerful empire, the Ottoman emperor had never been so embarrassed. Not only because he is the emperor of fine clothes and food, but also because he is old, such a long journey is not bad if he does not directly kill him, but it is enough for the Ottoman Emperor to be embarrassed and out of breath.

"It's over, the empire is over!" The Ottoman Emperor took a long breath to recover and said with great sadness.

"Your Majesty, the true gods will bless Your Majesty, and the Empire will definitely be able to achieve the final victory!" A royal nobleman spoke to the Ottoman Emperor.

As nobles who had direct ties to the royal family, they could not have taken refuge in the Manchus, the Ottoman Empire was completely destroyed, and they would definitely not have good fruit to eat, so they could only pray for the blessing of their true gods, and to bless their Ottoman Empire from falling.

Unlike these nobles who have a direct connection with the royal family, some ordinary nobles, officials, etc., have an extraordinary look in their eyes, and they don't know what they are thinking at the moment.

At this moment, suddenly an Ottoman general ran over, shouting as he ran.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The cavalry of the Qing army is chasing after you, Your Majesty is leaving! ”

"What! The Qing cavalry caught up? The Ottoman Emperor was shocked and terrified.

Immediately, the Ottoman emperor again got up and fled.

In the rear, Dolgon's own 20,000 Manchurian banners were fighting fiercely with the nearly 30,000 Ottoman troops who were protecting the Ottoman emperor.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners was vertical and horizontal, killing these Ottoman troops with heavy casualties, crying for their fathers and mothers. These Ottoman armies themselves were defeated armies, and they only fought briefly with the Eight Banners before continuing to scatter and flee.

"Kill!" However, the Manchu Eight Banners did not let them go again, and the 20,000 Manchu Eight Banners also dispersed to hunt down the fleeing Ottoman soldiers.

In the face of the mobility of the Qing cavalry, the fleeing Ottoman soldiers could not escape at all, and a large number of Qing cavalry chased and killed, and the corpses of the killed Ottoman soldiers were everywhere in this small town.

The Ottoman Emperor was hunted down by 3,000 of them led by Dolgon.

Similarly, in the face of the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry, the Ottoman Emperor and his party did not run far, and were caught up by the three thousand Manchu Eight Banners led by Dolgon.

"Poof! Burst! The cavalry of the Eight Banners swept by, and the heads of some Ottoman soldiers were directly cut off, and the scene was extremely bloody.

The Ottoman emperor fled into a small courtyard and was besieged by cavalry regiments of the Eight Banners. Outside the courtyard of Xiaozhuang, more than 1,000 Ottoman soldiers protecting the Ottoman Emperor were resisting the cavalry of the Eight Banners.

It's a pity that there are a large number of people in the Eight Banners, and they are very fierce, where can the hundreds of Ottoman soldiers who have no fighting spirit in this area can resist.

In just a few moments, more than half of the more than 1,000 Ottoman soldiers were killed or wounded.

In the courtyard of the small village, the Ottoman Emperor looked desperate and his eyes were blank, he knew that he had no way to go, and the empire was about to fall.

The many Ottoman officials and nobles who were with the Ottoman Emperor were also full of despair and panic, but some people secretly looked at the Ottoman Emperor with a cruel face.

"Poof!" Suddenly, a nobleman's short knife plunged from the back into the back of the Ottoman emperor's heart.

The Ottoman Emperor snorted, his eyes widened, blood spilled from his mouth, and he fell to the ground and died!

On April 23, the 31st year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman emperor was killed in a village courtyard in the small town of Asimei in Greece by the Ottoman nobles who fled with him, and these Ottoman nobles and officials sacrificed the body of the Ottoman emperor to the Qing army and surrendered to the Qing army.

With the death of the Ottoman Emperor, the Qing army swept through Bulgaria and Greece in a short period of time.

Albania and Macedonia declared their independence ahead of schedule before the arrival of the Qing army, and the Ottoman Empire perished!
