Seeing that large tracts of land had been placed under his administration at no cost, Governor Eishad, though suspicious of the sincerity of the Russian Empire, was pleased to entertain the envoy and sent the good news to the Ottoman capital, along with the map he had marked, to Murad IV.

Murad IV was also very happy when he saw the map, he did not think that this was a conspiracy of the Tsarist Empire, and thought that it was a compromise made by the Tsarist Empire under the intimidation of his own powerful national power. Next, he directly ordered Governor Ashhard to go and accept these places, so as to forget that there is still the existence of Li Hongji's forces.

Li Hongji now did not know that the Tsarist Empire had privately transferred the places he occupied to the Ottoman Empire, but he had been preparing for war all along. Whether it is his north, west, or south, they are all the objects of his war, and the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom has assigned him a place to settle down, and the Tsarist Russian Empire has always been eyeing it, even if the Crimean Khanate does not have unfriendly actions, but he does not dare to take it lightly, after all, they are controlled by the Ottoman Empire, and this land is still quite controversial, he can only be ready to deal with it at any time.

After receiving the will of Murad IV, Governor Aishad began to prepare to accept these so-called spoils, and he didn't think about where there was a huge force like Li Hongji, whether he could afford to provoke it, and it seemed that if he didn't break a few big teeth, this guy didn't know who he couldn't afford to mess with.

Gelai III is currently the king of the Crimean Khanate, and his ruling area is close to Li Hongji's sphere of influence, and he is very unhappy with the existence of Li Hongji's forces, because many of his subjects have gone to Li Hongji, but without the order of Governor Aishad, he does not dare to start a war with Li Hongji without authorization, and several tentative disputes have ended in his fiasco, and the combat strength of Li Hongji's army makes him afraid.

Governor Aishad now received orders from Murad IV, so he naturally supported Grei III's attack on Li Hongji's forces, but if he wanted Grei III to send troops, he also had to show his sincerity, so he took 50,000 Ottoman soldiers to assist the Crimean Khanate, and the Crimean Khanate itself sent 50,000 soldiers, and a mighty army of 100,000 drove to Li Hongji's sphere of influence.

Li Hongji has long been mentally prepared for this situation, he did not participate in the war during the melee, and took the opportunity to expand his territory, it is not that he does not have strength, he just wants to achieve the greatest effect at the minimum cost. Of course, three months ago, the strength was indeed weaker than now, when there were only more than 10,000 troops that could participate in the war, and now he has 25,000 cavalry, and more than 5,000 infantry, and these infantry belong to modern troops, they are equipped with rifles, hand-cranked machine guns, mortars, infantry guns, and more importantly, they have the most advanced combat methods and concepts, and they are not afraid of the cavalry group charge at all, which is the most fatal blow to the tactics that the steppe nomads rely on to charge the cavalry.

The combined army of more than 100,000 Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate pressed Li Hongji from two directions, Li Hongji didn't care, he arranged his troops in the lowland area on the west side of the Assyrian Sea, chose the relatively large Mius River, and established an infantry position two miles away from the river bank, and the criss-crossing trenches quickly became an iron hedgehog in this area, and Li Hongji's blocking points were everywhere, and the place after two miles would be the most important core combat position, The Ottoman coalition was to be completely annihilated in this area.

Li Hongji's choice of position position is very particular, if the position is established by the river, it is the best way to defeat the war, and when the Ottoman coalition army is halfway crossed, they can be defeated at the minimum cost, but this is not enough to make them afraid, and more troops can be gathered to start the war again, Li Hongji's purpose is to solve all these invading troops at one time, and annihilate this coalition army at one time, so that they are psychologically afraid, and never dare to have the idea of fighting with the Ming army again.

In terms of the art of war, there are soldiers who surrender without a fight, and this is the most ideal strategic concept, and Li Hongji's plan this time is to rely on his powerful striking ability to completely surrender the soldiers, which has the same effect as the idea of surrendering the army without a fight in the art of war. Therefore, Li Hongji's tactical arrangements this time can be said to be closely related to the entire strategic objective, and if he fights well, he can achieve the requirements of Zhu Youxiao's strategic objective once and for all.

More than 100,000 Ottoman coalition troops came to the west bank of the Mius River, and they did not find Li Hongji's troops on the bank to block their crossing of the river, and they did not understand why Li Hongji wanted to give up such a good strategic place. However, they still sent a reconnaissance unit to cross the river to reconnoiter the location of Li Hongji's army.

When they found that Li Hongji's troops were all arranged two miles away, they were very surprised, two miles away is enough for 50,000 cavalry troops to send a charge formation, after the forward troops gain a firm foothold, as long as they expand a little, the entire army can be placed, on the flat land of a horse and a flat river, the cavalry charge of 100,000 people will be very terrifying, is it that the Ming army is a fool? How come they don't even understand such simple tactics, or do they have some conspiracy?

Governor Eishad and Grei III were a little confused about Li Hongji's operational ideas, but after a little consideration, they still let cautiously let half of the troops cross the Mius River, and the reconnaissance troops in front did not find any troops sent by the Ming army to block their movements, so they let their troops cross, even if they sent troops to tentatively attack forward for a mile, Li Hongji's troops did not react.

After crossing the river, the most important thing is not to attack immediately, the Ottoman coalition army immediately began to establish defensive positions, although the number of Ming soldiers is not as large as theirs, but a sudden attack will also cause great losses, no matter when it is always good to be careful, especially the first time to fight with the Ming army, Governor Eishad still feels that there is some conspiracy in this.

No matter how Governor Ashhard arranged, Li Hongji was unmoved, let them act, the position was two miles away from the riverbank, as long as the Ottoman coalition forces did not enter this range, Li Hongji did not bother to take the initiative to attack them, the huge difference in the number of troops, as well as the idea of strategic layout, was to use the preset position to kill and injure them in large numbers, and when the battle entered the critical moment, they would be given a fatal blow.

The first tentative offensive began, and the 2,000 soldiers of the Crimean Khanate of Grei III gathered and rushed towards Li Hongji's preset position. The cavalry of more than 2,000 people charged with great momentum. But when they entered Li Hongji's preset position, the rapid charge had to slow down, the zigzag trenches, the well-hidden ditches were dense, and the cavalry kept falling off their horses, but they did not find the existence of the Ming soldiers, which made them wonder, but since they did not encounter a counterattack, then continue to advance.

The distance of one mile is enough for ordinary soldiers to walk for more than ten minutes, and the cavalry who cannot charge quickly is not faster than the infantry in terms of speed, and this tentative force of 2,000 people goes around the trench and dodges traps, and their speed is now much slower than that of the ordinary walking army, and the original momentum of the charge is now not at all, so the kung fu has become infantry, and the path is carefully explored, and such a charging formation has completely changed its nature, and it has no power.

After entering the range of the position of one mile, they finally found the Ming army, not they found it, it was the Ming army who took the initiative to appear, this distance is enough for the Ming army to play, it is completely possible to leave this vanguard force, and the Ming army is about to attack.

A crisp gunshot rang out, this was the first shot fired by the sniper of the Ming army, and one of the officers who led the team was suddenly hit in the center of his eyebrows, and he didn't even have time to react, he immediately fell from the horse, and he was already dead, and the soldiers around him were still stunned at this time, a little inexplicable, or extremely nervous.

What followed was the continuous gunfire in this preset position, the complex layout of the fortifications made it impossible for the soldiers of the Crimean Khanate to find the Ming soldiers who were shooting, all they heard was the constant gunshots, although the gunfire was not very dense, but what I saw was that the comrades around them kept falling, and most of them were killed by one shot.
