The intuition on the battlefield is an inexplicable feeling, Mao Bijiang naturally knows this kind of thing, as a general, this intuition is sometimes stronger, but this is the first command of Mao Bijiang, he does not have such an intuition, but he still carefully observes the overall situation of the Ottoman Empire, and the other is to make the ambushed soldiers ready to touch.

Soon there were changes on the battlefield, the Ottoman Empire suddenly pulled out a huge number of return cannons in the west, and did the tactics of the Persian army, first huge stones with ceramic oil cans poured all over the city, and then reported cotton silk, rags dipped in oil and ignited, and then launched into the city, the entire western part of the city suddenly became a sea of fire.

The Persian army was finally defeated, and in the direction of the eastern city gate, more than 30,000 Persian soldiers rushed out, and then more than three times as many Ottoman soldiers surrounded them, shouting and crying in the air, and in the end less than 10,000 people were able to escape.

Most of the Ottoman soldiers were still in pursuit, trying to annihilate the remnants of the Persian soldiers, at this time there were less than 30,000 soldiers left in the city, and after they chased out for several miles, the soldiers who were captured in the city also began to slack off, relaxed their vigilance, this is the best opportunity for the Ming royal dragon fleet to come.

After entering the city, the soldiers immediately lined up in an orderly firing formation, with five columns as the base number, with 25 people in each team, and began to line up to shoot the action. The chaotic Ottoman soldiers did not expect that other armies would break through, they completely lost the ability to resist, because the west gate could not be passed, they fled from the east gate and the north gate in disarray, and the soldiers of the dragon fleet pursued from the two city gates, and finally took the rear base of the Ottoman Empire, seized a large amount of food and oil, and the remnants retreated to a hundred miles away.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Mao Bijiang began to have soldiers put out fires and reassure the people, and the fires caused by oil could not be extinguished with water, so they had to be buried with sand, and the soldiers took almost an all-night to complete these tasks. The local residents who did not escape felt that these soldiers were really different from the Ottoman soldiers, not only did they not harass the residents, but also helped the residents to extinguish the fire, so that the residents were not afraid of being robbed and beaten, and they were immediately sympathetic.

The city is Ahvaz, bordering the Karon River and surrounded by low sandstone hills. Located at the exit of the Karen River in the Zagros Mountains, it is a necessary place for traffic and a transshipment point for river transportation. With a population of about 100,000, it was renamed when the Arabs conquered it 900 years ago. Because it is located on the main transportation route, the city has been destroyed and rebuilt several times after the fall of the Arab Empire, the ownership is complicated, the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid Dynasty have fought for hundreds of years in this city, and it is still in a state of war today.

The officials in the city had already fled, and those who could not escape were also killed by the Ottoman soldiers, and the residents of the city recommended the prestigious elders to comfort the army, and Mao Bijiang warmly received them, and through conversations, Mao Bijiang finally figured out the particularity of Ahvaz City. The inhabitants here are very complex, that is, there are local indigenous Persians, Arabs, and many mixed Mongols, Turks, Turks, etc.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to the complex composition of the population, the advantage is that it can be divided and conquered, and the disadvantage is that if it is not handled fairly, it will cause countless contradictions, cause social unrest, and cause instability. Fortunately, Chen Zhenhui is a good hand at handling internal affairs, he is very good at handling civil disputes, and he is welcomed by residents, and the city soon enters a normal state.

The first point put forward by Chen Zhenhui is that since we all live in this city, then we are a family, everyone is a brother and sister, no matter what race, we are all equal. The second is the issue of belief, Chen Zhenhui advocated freedom of belief, no matter what kind of religion or sect you believe, it is an individual's right, and no one is allowed to interfere with it, and the newly established government will severely punish anyone who involves interfering with other people's beliefs. Last but not least, government law is the greatest right, and the right of any religious belief must be under the public power of the government, and the government law is above all else.

In addition, the Ottoman army that pursued the Persian soldiers of the Safavid dynasty was like a bamboo, they followed behind the defeated army like a bamboo, and did not have to worry about the problem of provisions, anyway, it was a state of war, and all the supplies of the enemy country could be plundered to their heart's content. With the connivance of the front-line commanders, they can be said to do all kinds of evil. After three or four days, they finally tasted the consequences, they were surrounded by reinforcements sent by the Safavids, and after some resistance, they were finally routed.

In terms of normal military operations, Ahvaz was relatively close to the center of Safavid rule, and reinforcements should have been sent a long time ago, but they were very slow to move, and the reinforcements did not arrive until Ahvaz was breached. There is a special reason here, that is, Abbas I lost his life in the war with the Ming Dynasty, and his sons were killed by himself one by one, when he went to the Ming Dynasty, he did not arrange his successor, which eventually caused the situation to be turbulent, and was eventually succeeded by his eldest son's son, that is, his grandson Safi, but Safi is only eighteen years old now, and he was busy cleaning up the political enemies of the royal family, which caused this result, but fortunately, he still sent reinforcements to intercept the Ottoman soldiers.

After defeating the Ottoman army, the army of 100,000 men continued westward and finally engaged the expeditionary force of the Ming royal dragon fleet. The scouts sent by Mao Bijiang have been following the Ottoman army, and when the Ottoman army is defeated, they quickly send out the information to prepare Mao Pijiang for battle.

About a hundred miles east of Ahvaz was a lake surrounded by hilly terrain where the Persian army was on its way and the routed Ottoman army was fleeing. Mao Bijiang thought that this was a battle to determine whether the Ming royal dragon fleet could gain a foothold here, and if it wanted to gain a foothold, it was necessary to defeat the Persian army in this place, and could an army of only 10,000 people do it? The answer is yes.

Quickly concentrating the troops, replenishing the weapons and ammunition, and risking the frontier, they rushed to the predetermined place in half a day at the speed of a rapid march. The terrain here is not too suitable for ambushes, the hilly terrain is gentle, the only thing that can be used is that the edge of this small lake is the best way to march, and to ambush here, you need to stretch the battle line very long, but you are determined to ambush 10,000 soldiers to the hills on the north side, and then wait for the defeated Ottoman soldiers to slowly pass through, ready to intercept the Persian army of the Safavids.

When the Ottoman soldiers were wiped out after the last battle, the Persian army finally appeared in front of the Persian army. Perhaps their battle was so smooth that the Persian army that pursued them did not even maintain a complete formation, and it was as chaotic as a group fight with the natives of Africa, and many soldiers even chased after them, searching the corpses of dead Ottoman soldiers on the side of the road, trying to find coins, jewelry, and other things.

Wang Zheng, the special combat captain next to Mao Bijiang, liked the Yin people the most, and he also had extremely sensitive intuition, seeing the chaotic pursuit formation of the Persian army, he knew that this battle would definitely be won.

Wang Zheng suggested to Mao Bijiang: "Brother Mao, I see that there is almost no threat to the actions of the Persian army now, and they are at the extreme of excitement, thinking that the Ottoman army is already vulnerable, and it is estimated that their commander also has this idea. I think if we attack now, we can stop them, but if it ends in a stalemate, it will be very bad for us. In my opinion, it is better for me to lead a thousand soldiers, with light mortars, and plunge directly into their rear, find their headquarters, and then find an opportunity to end it, and the Persians who have lost their command will surely be defeated, and we can lay a good position to stand here. ”

Holding a high-powered telescope, he took the liberty to carefully observe the Persian army that had been pursued, they really had no formation and discipline at all, they were really like a group of hunting nomads, the number was very large, and there was no battlefield vigilance in the chaos, if such an army could withstand a fierce attack and not be defeated, it would really be a miracle.

Mao Bijiang looked at Wang Zheng and said, "Okay, you go and organize the team." However, we must remember that safety comes first, it is better to be able to find fighters, if there is no opportunity, do not force an attack, try to avoid unnecessary losses, you must know that the number of our soldiers is not large, and it is very difficult to replenish at the moment, there is no need to fight hard, we still have other chances to win. ”
