"You mean someone sold a good amount of artillery to the stupid Constantine XI?" Mehmed II stood there, motionless, his upright body as if it were a strong tree. And his straight nose, eagle beak-like hooked nose and his strange white and red complexion are like a devil.

In fact, the grim gaze of Mehmed II had already caused the Hungarian Urban to collapse to the ground.

Mehmed II was never a cowardly man. He killed decisively, and once nailed thousands of rebellious Turks to their headscarves in their heads! He was never afraid of failure, and his fighting spirit never dissipated until he died.

"I ask you, can your cannon help me blast through that wall?" Mehmed II said murderously. Urban never doubted that the wise king had only two kinds of dead bodies, useful and useless.

"Absolutely! I've calculated it countless times! It must be possible, it must be possible......." Urban felt the fierce murderous aura and almost didn't pee his pants.

In the deep sockets of Mehmed II's eyes, cold eyes stared at Urban as if they were about to pierce the depths of his soul. After a long time, Mehmed II flicked his sleeves and left. Urban was left alone to soak his clothes in a cold sweat.

Mehmed II walked out of the lavish palace in Edirne, and outside, countless warriors were waiting for him!

The sound of the tsunami from the mountains pleased Mehmed II. This is his army, and he is the conqueror destined by God! Men beyond Alexander!

As he walked down, countless Christians bowed their heads, and knights knelt in submission to their masters. As mentioned in The Fall of Constantinople, it was the Christians who besieged Constantinople, the Hungarian Catholic Urban who bombarded the walls of Theodosius, the Christian troops who slaughtered Constantinople, and even Mehmed II, who was a man of mostly Christian descent.

It can be said that Constantinople fell into the hands of the Christians. This is precisely the horror of Ottoman Turkey. From the very beginning, he was strong multi-ethnic. And religious tolerance, and at this time before nationalism emerged, Christians all over the Balkans worked for their masters who brought them less oppression.

In the beginning, the army of Ottoman Turkey was Gazi. The main ones are "Ajinki", which means raider, and "Delhi", which means religious fanatics. These units are also known as raid squads.

Orhan, not the uncle of Mehmed II, but the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Orhan in 1320. It was this earlier Orhan who formed the first royal army, composed mainly of Christians and Turks, in contrast to the nomadic tribe of the Ghazi army, with the infantry called Yaya and the cavalry called Muserim. These new armies were very strong in the war, and brought numerous victories to Orhan.

But as the shortcomings of these mercenaries were exposed, his son Murad I formed a new organization - the Ottoman state slave "Kapikuru".

It should be clear to everyone by changing the name, Gani Shari. That is, the well-known Turkish "new army".

The Ottoman Turkish army traversed the trajectories of Gazi (made up of tribal people and religious fanatics) – Yaya and Muserim – Ganishari. Of course, in fact Ghazi later became the border raiders of the Ottoman Turks, while Yaya and Muserim gradually became ordinary armies guarding the city.

And there was also an element of restlessness hidden in the Ottoman Turks' seemingly fiery military power. That was the contradiction between the local armies and the Turkic feudal lords behind them and the central army of the Ottoman Turks, and the sultans who supported the central army.

The local Timar, that is, the well-known Sipahi cavalry, they all stood on the right, of course, the Sipahi cavalry was only a representative, and there were a large number of other local armies behind, such as Derbent, Forest Guards, etc., all gathered here.

To the left of Muhammad was the army of Ghanishari, organized by the Demisheme regime. The descendants of these Christians were loyal to the Ottoman Turkish sultans, but increasingly wanted to meddle in politics.

After the Ottoman Turks were devastated by the Timurid Wars, Mehmed II had reorganized the balance between his vassals and the feudal lords.

The army pulled out, and the Topchu artillery regiment pulled their huge artillery with hundreds of oxen in advance.

An army of more than 100,000 men slowly marched from Edirne to the walls of Theodosius in Constantinople. And in the Gallipoli fortress, the new Aussuman navy here can't wait to set off to blockade the Golden Horn.

In fact, now the Golden Horn has been sealed off by Constantine XI with iron chains. This is also the tradition of Constantinople's resistance to the enemy.

But in reality, it doesn't work.

Mehmed II had already built a fortified fortress on the north side of Constantinople - the Rumili Mesaly Fortress. Here he laid out three cannons, which were pointed at the narrowest part of the strait. It was probably built not long after Chen Jia went back.

Now, Constantinople has become a loner.

But the Genoese and Venetians were with the Greeks. The Genoese brother Bochialdo, the famous general Giustiniani, led two thousand men to Constantinople. They received funding from Conrador and brought more troops than they did historically. But in reality, they are just a spontaneous rescue of the people. Even the local Venetians and Genoese, who were busy resisting, did so out of the need to defend their homeland.

At this moment, Italy was completely appeased by the expansion of Ottoman Turkey.

Giustiniani was a Genoese general. He had great prestige and appeal in Italy, and even the Venetians, who had never been at odds with the Genoese, responded to his call.

At the same time, Giulio, the consul of Catalonia in Constantinople, also mobilized a group of troops to join them.

However, this is a drop in the bucket.

All the personnel combined are more than 10,000 people, and this is the result of Conrad's generosity.

Giustiniani took over the command of the Chief of Defense. Inspired by his charisma, people worked together to dig moats, repair city defenses, and lay out defenses.

On the night of 26 February, six Cretan ships and one Venetian ship led by Pietro Davanzo fled Constantinople in the darkness of the night, carrying 700 Italians. This not only violated the Venetian oath, but also seriously weakened the defenders. But no one has followed their example since.

The Venetians, once again, dragged their feet.
