The Machka Mountain Trail is the main and only road south of Trabzon.

Hold on to the fortress of Machka, and you are the boss of this place. There is no doubt that Machka's defender Morris also received a lot of money, and his family was sent to Chijing. And just as he was sending his family away on the front foot, the governor of Erzinjan on the back foot sent someone to demand that he surrender immediately.

In the past, Morris surrendered directly, after all, many of his old colleagues served in the Ottomans, and the treatment was very good. As long as you don't make mistakes, you generally can't cut off your head, and it's even better if you're willing to convert to Islam. Of course, converting to Islam doesn't mean you're going to be doing well. Because the old interest class, the Ottomans, on the contrary, will prevent a bastard like you from mixing into the ranks of Islam and polluting the air. To put it simply, it's better for you to be a second-class citizen honestly.

But what if Morris sent his family to Trabzon? Morris was entangled.

On the fortress, Morris wandered constantly. Ahead is a remote and deep mountain road, out of the mountain road, across the Kergit River, to Erzinjan. And looking back behind him, there is also a long mountain road. After crossing the mountain road, not far away is Trabzon.

Dilemma, Morris slapped his head at the end and came up with a solution that was not a solution.

He first wrote to the governor of Erzinjan, saying that he would definitely surrender, but the enemy had already been killed in the back, and he did not dare to be presumptuous, so he had to make a false accusation, and asked for the help of the real Ottoman soldiers to be sent to the rescue; Then Morris wrote to Trabzon in a hurry of eight hundred miles, the governor of Erzincan is coming to get me, if you don't save me, I'll be finished!

After this set of performances, Morris gave his quickness eighty points.

.......

"Can't go!" Vlad blurted out! Stefan also shrunk his neck.

These two were really scared by the Ottomans. Although there were always a few glorious battles in their years, this could not hide the fact that their country was becoming poorer and more dilapidated. Wallachia and Moldavia, which lacked stamina, died without resentment. Even if it blows into the sky, Vlad and Stefan are in fact a little afterglow before the death of the country.

The other two commanders looked at the two men, smacked their lips and did not speak. On the contrary, it made the two of them look very embarrassed.

"The ambush battle on the mountain road, it is clearly written in the drill code, do you need to say more?" Zhu Neng said majestically.

That's right, mountain road ambush warfare. Zhu Neng decided to teach the Ottomans a lesson. As far as the current politics is concerned, the Ottomans and the Han Chinese are allies in the same bed. Because of geography, the Ottomans resisted the Crusaders by land, while the Han Chinese resisted the Crusaders by sea.

But because the Venetians were lying on their beds at home with their legs broken, and because the Genoese and Han Chinese were complicit in the markets of North Africa, smuggling all kinds of goods, the Crusaders' demand for transportation was completely ignored. Even the crusaders were not allowed to enter the territory of the Genoese.

So this also made the Ottomans very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Han Chinese, because they were all cooperative, why do you sit and watch the play, I kill strangers in Belgrade...... Bleed?

The governor of Erzinjan must have acted on his own, and Zhu Neng understood it very well.

In the international situation class in the martial arts, there is a talk about the current division of the Ottomans. The chieftains of Asia Minor, who had been rooted for hundreds of years, wanted them to leave? Waiver? Don't think about it.

In present-day Asia Minor, the governors of the various regions are no different from the real emperors of the earth. It's just that they can't bring down the thick thighs of the central sultan now, and the relationship between the central and local governments will not be so tense when the Ottoman political system is expanding, so Xiaoya is still quite convinced now.

Isfahan, the governor of Erzinjan, had an entire pasture and city of Tima, with 4,000 men and more than 20,000 peasants and warriors.

This is the combat effectiveness of the nomadic era, which is very painful.

After recruiting a large number of Armenians, Greeks, and various mountain peasants, Isfahan set out on his way. Erzinjan crossed the Kergit River north beside the Kalazus, the upper river of the Euphrates, and soon reached the narrow mountain pass.

If it were the old days, a fool would drill such a mountain road.

But Isfaham has a letter from Morris, which is written in tears, as if the Han had strengthened his own mother. Moreover, Isfahan was confident of breaking through Trabzon, because he borrowed 6,000 men from the border raiders in Erzurum (east of Erzinjan), so that there were 30,000 men. (Here I found that the map on China is not very accurate, Erzurum is still marked under the banner of the Black Sheep Dynasty, please do not spray)

Isfahan did not think that the Han people could be so strong in action and quickly control all places. Moreover, it is a well-known thing that the elite army of the Han Chinese is still fighting the crusaders in Italy to this day.

Confident, Isfahan then hit the road.

He didn't know that this road was actually Huangquan Road......

"Arrived?"

Zhu Neng hid on the mountainside, waiting for the arrival of the enemy. This is a mountain forest with vegetation in the dry season, and the mountains are rich in species, but in this dry season they are relatively withered, with a lot of dead branches and leaves.

Cannons and people are hidden in the leaves. Everyone should be dressed tightly to prevent mosquitoes or other insect bites. Although they were sweating, the plague was ahead, and everyone did not dare to delay.

In the dense forest, the herald kept cutting off the branches, and the falling large bunch of branches represented the gradual approach of the enemy.

Turning a corner, Isfahan's striker has arrived.

These strikers are none other than Erzurum's borrowed border raid team - Ghazi. As the main force of the Ottomans in the past, it has long since declined. But they are for the people in peacetime, soldiers in wartime, and they are unruly, and successive generations of sultans have taken them with no good way, so they have to throw them on the border and let them continue to be cannon fodder.

On the long mountain road, 20,000 recruits gathered on the forest line on both sides for miles and waited.

The proud Gazi rode by, followed by the Chinese army in Isfahan, and then a large number of various cannon fodder troops.

"Ready." Zhu Neng said, and the guard took out the order flag.

Bright red flags danced in the forest, and suddenly a dozen trees collapsed on the mountain!

In an instant, the artillery rang out in unison!

The two-pounder cannon, which was pulled up the hill by the Han Chinese, fired countless shotguns, shattering Isfahan's ambitions.......

"Get up for me! It's back! Zhu Neng kicked the guards and rushed down the mountain in person!
