In the long history of China, if you want to learn, you should learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because his greatness lies in subverting this iron law of history, transforming the master of defense into a master of attack, and creating a historical miracle of the victory of the agrarian nation over the powerful nomadic people

Under the bombardment of the rumbling high-explosive bombs, the walls of Istanbul were crumbling, and more than a dozen airships appeared in the sky, starting to bombard in the air, due to the elongation of the battle line, there are serious defects in the weather and distance, and it is easy to be destroyed if it flies low, the airship is no longer the main combat tool of the Ming Dynasty, but now there are still a small number of airships flying in the sky, after all, there are still some uses

In the roar, the walls of Istanbul finally opened a crack, "kill" under the blowing of the trumpet, more than 40,000 soldiers rushed into Istanbul, a large number of Ottoman ** troops surrendered, and the commander used his own short gun to his head is a shot, ending his life, because he is going back, and Muhammad IV will never spare him

When Muhammad IV learned of the fall of Istanbul in Jerusalem, the angry Muhammad IV immediately gave the savings that his country had accumulated for many years to the leaders of the Arab countries, except for Oman, which was beaten by the marines of the Sixth Fleet and the Fourth Fleet of the Ming State, and most of the population was already very sparse, including all the Arab countries in Yemen sent reinforcementsThe Arab countries also sent 100,000 camel soldiers and cavalry, as well as more than 200,000 infantry

Muhammad IV knew that using the military strength of the Arab countries was like driving a tiger and devouring a wolf, but he would rather give the land to the Arab countries than the Ming Kingdom, and if the Arab countries were victorious, he could still get a certain amount of land, the Ottoman State still existed, and if the Ming Kingdom was victorious, the Ottoman Empire would become history

The first target of the coalition army of 300,000 Arab countries was Baghdad, under the city of Baghdad, more than 100,000 camel soldiers and cavalry of the Arab coalition army and 200,000 infantry were already under the city at this time

At the same time, more than 120 old or comparative cannons accompanying the Arab army in the rear formation have also begun to fire, and in a short time they suppressed the artillery fire of the defenders of the Ming Kingdom in the city, and the shells smashed up and down the city, which made the already somewhat unstable military spirit of these coercive troops mixed with a large number of Middle Easterners, Russians and Koreans even more alarmed

"Bang" a cannonball happened to hit the city tower in the middle of the south gate, just happened to break the brick wall of the city tower, several meters high after the city tower squeaked loudly, and then poured down for a while smoke and dust flew all over the sky, and the entire city gate was shrouded in smoke and dust and broken tiles after the city tower fell down

The commander of the Yamamoto division was only more than ten meters away from the city tower, thanks to the fact that there were personal soldiers who pressed him down to protect him, so he was not injured and waited for the smoke and dust to dissipate slightly, he got up in embarrassment, the helmet was gone, and the bright silver armor on his body was also covered with dust, after he was flustered, he was anxious and angry when he found that the powerful enemy army had attacked the city, knowing that it was difficult to block the attack of the fierce and sudden attack of the Persian Emperor ** team with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses here, and he hurriedly said to the soldiers around him: "Go to the north gate to report the news, and send people and horses to come to help"

Then he ordered his subordinates: "Beat the drums, and the enemy will enter the city, and you must lead your subordinates to fight to the death, and do not let the enemy enter the city."

The generals were all nervous in their hearts, although the military discipline had been reorganized, and the headquarters had fought with the Ottoman armed forces here, and after training, they were not as afraid of the enemy as they were at the beginning, but after all, they were formed by people of various ethnic groups, and their hearts were not aligned, and it was difficult to stop the large number of enemy troops

As a large number of Arab siege armies approached, large carts like small castles were pushed into range, and on each cart there were dozens of Arab archers and musketeers, either taking advantage of the terrain above the city, shooting arrows and shooting at the city, or using the height of the wooden carts, and shooting at the head of the city, under the cover of the archers, cavalry, and camel soldiers, the Arab soldiers of the first wave of the city began to set up ladders, More than a dozen cars were about to enter the city, and the iron-headed cars with hidden people in their bellies and the rushing cars with protected wings had rushed to the bottom of the city and began to push into the city gate hole recessed into the belly of the city

"Order, the Arab soldiers who poured the carts with boiling oil," shouted Yamamoto, who had found black oil in many places here, and had prepared a lot of it at once knowing what it was for

Although Yamamoto was flustered, after all, he had been in battle for a long time, and almost all of the Japanese soldiers had been in battle for a long time, so he still looked like he was still looking as usual, and he only saw the enemy getting deeper and deeper with a blue face, and he was already close to the city, so he shouted to his subordinate generals: "Beat wood, stones, boiling oil, iron nails, throw them down for me to kill."

The soldiers of the coercive army in the city had already prepared, and when they heard the order, they threw down the mountain of all kinds of equipment, and smashed the Arab soldiers who were preparing to climb the city under the city for a while, and the whole battlefield could hear the pop of stones and hardwood smashing on people, the screams of the wounded soldiers, and the crackling and breaking sound of the ladder being smashed, the artillery of both sides had stopped, and all the sturdy soldiers of the coercive army had landed in the city, ready to fight with the Arab enemy soldiers who had climbed the city, and barrels of hot stone oil were poured downAlthough the soldiers under the car could not be injured by arrows, they could not resist the pervasive hot oil, and there were soldiers who were burned and screamed, rushing out of the car, running and shouting, and the soldiers around them saw that these people were too painful, and had no choice but to draw their bows and arrows and shoot them to death to reduce the pain, of course, the musketeers were not so kind, and the bullets were expensive, and there was no one under all the rushing cars near the city, and the paralyzed city was no longer moving

Most of the ladders that were set up at the head of the city were also pushed down, often the whole ladder was pushed up, and the soldiers who climbed on the high place were either killed or wounded, wailing and screaming under the head of the city, and occasionally some soldiers climbed up to the head of the city, and they were quickly stabbed and killed by the coercive army with spears or broadswords, and it was difficult to stand on the ground

And the Arab generals knew that although the casualties were heavy at the moment, the Ming defenders on the city ran out of wood and stones, that is, when the city was broken, so he didn't care about the casualties of his subordinates at all, in addition to ordering to continue the attack, he also sent more people to shoot arrows under the city, although the effect was not good, but it could also increase the pressure on the coercion army at the head of the city

As they expected, under the uninterrupted attacks of the Arab soldiers, the auxiliary equipment at the head of the city became less and less, and the intensity and intensity of the blows became weaker and weaker, and more and more Arab soldiers were able to climb to the top of the city and fight hand-to-hand with the soldiers of the coercion army on the city

This battle has been fought since the morning, it is already nearly noon, and the brave many Arab soldiers will be the opposite, the soldiers of the coercion army are getting more and more tired, and the courage is getting colder and colder, although the rest of the gates are also attacked at the same time, but the degree is much lighter than the south gate, the captains have already transferred most of the coercive soldiers, but they still can't stop the number of Arabs who are far above the coercive army, if it is not for the liaison messenger who has just been sent back to inform Yamamoto, he knows that the main force of the army is not far outside the city and outflanks the Arab Front. It may appear at any time, and because of the promise of Da Ming ** Fa Liwei and the promise of the silver money, the morale of the coerced army has soared, and these coerced soldiers have long been defeated and cannot be supported

"Bang ......" a group of Arab soldiers with a huge siege car desperately pushed forward to impact the city gate, kept hitting the city gate, after hitting more than a dozen times, the heavy city gate could not withstand such a strong momentum, and finally slammed and cracked, the Arab soldiers cheered, increased their strength, and hit several times in a row, because Baghdad did not have the Central Plains Ming Kingdom in the city of the jack gate and other things, so the Arab army finally knocked the south gate of Baghdad open

As the city gate was broken, all the Arab soldiers attacking outside the city cheered, and the Arab generals who knew that the city was about to break down in the distance all laughed in unison, and everyone said: "Although the army of the Ming Kingdom is crazy and desperately blocking us, in the end it still can't stop our elite soldiers, Allah willing"

The soldiers of the coercion army at the head of the city could hear the cheers of the Arab soldiers outside the city, and their faces were pale, knowing that something was wrong, Yamamoto and several captains of the coerced army who came to help the battle were sweating, and their expressions were panicked, and when Yamamoto saw a captain under the city come up, he asked urgently: "How many people are there in the city, can they stop the enemy's attack?" ”

The captain of the army shook his head slowly and said: "Except for some veterans who carry goods and even go to the city, there are no guards and strong soldiers in the city, all of them are in the city" Yamamoto said urgently: "Then don't send some soldiers down the city quickly, and block the city gate"

The deputy division commander next to him said angrily: "How to transfer the city is now almost unbearable, the army's heart is already unstable, if this time suddenly transfer people to the city, it will immediately be a thousand miles away, and the army will be defeated like a mountain" A captain said angrily: "A few days ago, we transferred our large army away, and we were not allowed to lose the city, what the hell is this called, if it was before, Lao Tzu would have opened the city and run his mother."

Several people glanced at each other, all nodded their heads, knowing that the other party's eyes meant that the army in the city was enough to deal with the Qing army outside the city, and the reason why most of the troops were transferred, and they were strictly ordered not to lose the city or escape, but they did not let people block the city gate, was to wait for them, which was mixed with most of the people of all ethnic groups, to see what they did, whether they were loyal or two-hearted

Since they figured this out, they all jumped up violently, and the captain of a Russian said to Yamamoto and the others: "In my opinion, it's better to run away, since they can't tolerate people, let's go to the Ottoman underground palace, or simply join the Arab army, anyway, we have soldiers in our hands, and we won't lose our wealth and wealth."

Another Uzbek captain shook his head miserably, and said with a sad smile: "Since I have surrendered, I don't want to fight with the Daming ** team anymore I heard that the mercy in the Daming ** is not thin, rather than being caught and beheaded by the Daming ** team in the future, it is better to have a grace afterwards" After he finished speaking, the rest of the captains nodded, they knew very well the strength of the Daming ** team, the Ottoman Empire and the Arab countries would be finished sooner or later, they were naturally unwilling to surrender and would definitely be destroyed by the weak enemy

Yamamoto was still looking at a few people coldly, if he found out that a few people were going to surrender, then he would kill people, but when he heard the words of the captain, he said: "The commander of this division also has the same opinion as you, the city is not protected, and you can still fight in the streets, if you surrender, everything will be over."

After that, a few people pulled out their swords and katanas, and took their own soldiers forward in person, blocking the swarming Arab soldiers Under the inspiration of a few people, the morale of the soldiers in the city head was boosted, and the Arab soldiers wanted to rush up, but they were blocked at the gate of the city for a while and could not succeed

It's just that the city gate has been broken, and the Arab army under the city has been mobilized, putting down all kinds of siege weapons in their hands, preparing shields and all kinds of weapons, preparing to rush into the city, and then looking at the officers of the coercion army who attacked the city, but they were unable to allocate reinforcements, and although the rest of the gates were not broken, they were also very stressed, and they could not transfer reinforcements

Seeing hundreds of Arab soldiers rushing in, first moving the rushing car blocking the road, and then shouting, rushing into the city with knives and guns, the soldiers and officers of the coerced army were all colorless, and they were scattered for a while, but they didn't know how to be in a panic, but they heard the Arab soldiers who rushed into the city gate shouting angrily, and when they looked back, they saw that the fire inside the city gate was raging, and the flames rushed straight to the top of the city wall, and the heat was overwhelming. Even the soldiers of the Waki army guarding the city could feel that the Arab soldiers who had entered the city had withdrawn with a disgraced face, pointing to the city gate and shouting and scolding, and the entire army of the city was relieved, knowing that they had finally survived this hurdle

Yamamoto was interrogated, and only then did he learn that it was the Japanese soldiers under the city who fought to the death, first blocking the city gate, and then setting fire to the oil that was ready to be carried into the city, which stopped the enemy, and the old soldiers who had entered the gate hole to block the enemy were either beheaded by the enemy or burned to death by the fire, which was really miserable

Yamamoto's heart was agitated, only to feel a hot breath rushing into his eyes, and he couldn't help but cry for a while, he knew that this was because these veterans were all from the Japanese untouchables, and those Japanese veterans had a silver two to settle down, and secondly, they had fought with the enemy over the years and lived a much stronger life than before, and they were willing to sacrifice like this, not only did they not flee when the enemy entered the city, but they desperately moved forward and kept the city. Several captains rushed to the front with a loud scream, and slashed at the Arab soldiers who had just emerged at the city wall, and when the Arab soldiers fell headlong and fell down the city, they raised their arms and shouted: "Life and death, in this move, brothers must defend to the death, and the main force will be able to counterattack and save us in a while."

Although half of the soldiers of various ethnic groups were planted, after all, half of them were soldiers of the Japanese army who had been in battle for a long time, and at this time I saw the division commander like this, it was really majestic, like a god, I had never seen him so impassioned, and all the soldiers were demoralized, and the weapons in their hands danced like snowflakes, and forced the Arab soldiers who had successfully landed in the city to go down the city again, that is, even the wounded soldiers struggled to get up, desperately moving forward, using their hands and feet together, or biting or grabbing, and fighting to the death with the enemy. Although the Arabs were brave, they had never had such a desperate way of fighting, and the Arab soldiers who attacked the city were not afraid, but they were also amazed and inexplicable

The Arab generals thought that the city would be broken, but unexpectedly saw the fire at the city gate, the attack was frustrated for a while, the Arab soldiers were seriously injured, tens of thousands of siege troops climbed to the city like ants, did not stop attacking for a moment, and nearly half of them were wounded or killed in half a day, although the Arab soldiers were as brave as ever, constantly firing artillery and arrows to attack and kill, they were still attacking at the risk of death, but the power was not as good as the right talent, and it would be categorically impossible to break the city for a while and a half

All Arab generals were stunned by this tragic offensive and defensive battle, since the memory, except for the fierce battle in which almost all the Crusaders were killed since the troops who resisted the Crusades, the Arabs have never heard of such a desperate battle with the Ottoman Empire, in fact, there were only more than 2,000 casualties at that time, or because the Ottomans fought several of the Arab countries, and the other Arab countries instead expressed friendship with the Ottoman Empire, The Ottoman Empire did not continue to attack other Arab countries and retreated, and an Arab general said strangely: "What happened to this Ming ** team?" Are you afraid that we will slaughter the city and resist desperately? Even if you are afraid of slaughtering the city, you can open the rest of the city gates and escape" "Yes, are these people from the Ming Kingdom crazy?" Desperately with our men, oh, Allah bless our warriors"

"This is not good, if we continue to fight like this, the casualties are really terrible, our chief will know it, he must not be happy, it is better to order someone to retreat a little, let's surround the city, measure how much food he can have in a Baghdad city, at most a month or two, the city will definitely fall without food"

"This is very true, our warriors don't have to die senselessly at the head of this city, it's better to leave half of the people to besiege the city, let's continue to kill in the north, and we are not afraid that these Ming ** people can rush out"

Another Yemeni general pursed his lips and looked at the city in the distance, and then said: "They are just relying on the courage of blood and blood for a while, but they can no longer fight to the death, but their strength is exhausted, and it is difficult to stop the attack of our powerful Arab army."

Listening to his order, the generals of several Arab countries were a little bit of a bit after all, and they all felt that the general of Yemen was very reasonable, and they each took their elite soldiers forward, ready to replace the siege troops that had lost more than half of them, and took over the coercion of the besieged city

Yamamoto slashed and killed for half a day, fighting these times is the limit of physical strength, he supported his body with a katana, rested on the edge of the collapsed castle tower and looked into the distance, his heart was anxious and angry, seeing that the enemy's fresh force would be pressed again, but he didn't know why the reinforcements did not appear He secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that we have to die to cut off the aliens?" But Lord Peach Blossom, I am also a Japanese person, and half of us here are Japanese people who are from a pariah background and loyal to the Ming Kingdom."

was depressed, but heard the soldiers around him shouting: "Commander, look" Yamamoto hurriedly raised his head, looked around the city, but there were no reinforcements, waiting for the soldiers to remind, only then to look at the back of the dense Arab formation, only to see the distant horizon faintly appeared a large number of gray-clothed troops, it was the main force of the coercion army led by Peach Blossom Dalang He only felt a little sore, and he couldn't support it anymore, he collapsed to the ground suddenly, and smiled at everyone: "This is finally defended"

The city of the army found that the main force of the army appeared behind the Arab army, the Arabs also found that they were not panicked at the same time, but immediately ordered people to turn the army formation, outward and the Ming army confronted the army, and sent cavalry and camel soldiers to protect the two wings of the rear to hear the cheers and scolding of the city head of the army, although the Arabs felt a little passive in their hearts, but also knew that this was not the time to deal with these Ming ** hearts, but they secretly made up their minds to defeat this Ming ** Reinforcements, be sure to slaughter the whole city after the city is broken

The Yemeni generals rode their horses forward, and after observing the movements of the reinforcement brigade of the Ming State in the distance, the generals of all Arab tribal countries smiled: "I said that these Ming army also dared to fight, but it turned out that there were reinforcements to help see the appearance of the army on the opposite side, and it must be the main force of the Ming ** team."

Although he has never fought with the main force of the Ming Dynasty, he has also heard of the strength of the Ming ** team, but for the strength of the Ming ** team, the Arab countries that have not fought against him do not have the most intuitive understanding He rode back from the city on horseback, and observed the main force of the enemy army in the rear all the way, and it is sure that there are a lot of troops in number

A general of an Arab country said: "Today's incident, I think it is a trick made by these generals of the Ming Dynasty, to strengthen the city to consume the morale of our Arab coalition army, and then the main force to bypass to our rear, trying to make my belly and back to the enemy?" ”

A United Arab Emirates general smiled contemptuously, spat fiercely, and said, "Then the people of the Ming Kingdom like to play with these useless things, can the army in the city still fight?" Face to face with our Arab brave soldiers in the field, how strong can these soldiers be? ”

At this time, I don't know which Arab general shouted: "We Arabia this time is a holy holy war, the Arab world's holy war, we have defeated the crusade of the east, this time will also defeat the army of the Ming Kingdom" Hearing this sentence, all the Arab generals were excited, everyone shouted and roared, and the somewhat scattered battle line was instantly gathered neatly, except for leaving a small group of cavalry to guard against the city of the Wei army, most of them have been facing the main force of the Wei army, ready to fight with the legendary invincible and powerful army

Peach Blossom Lang was in the middle of the coercive army at this time, and he commanded 300,000 coerced army and the Arab armies in the field battle, seeing this group of Arab coalition troops quickly gathered and armed, from the horizontal formation to the convex standard infantry assault battle array, although the country's many armies did not command each other and the army was in a group of east and west, but Peach Blossom Dalang still secretly praised in his heart, knowing that the army in front of him was indeed a strong enemy

Peach Blossom Lang saw the enemy's formation pressed forward, 100,000 cavalry and camel soldiers slowly moved forward on the loess plain covered with withered yellow weeds, although there was no momentum when 10,000 horses galloped, but there was a strong coercion and murderous aura rushed in front of this momentum, even if it was a veteran of the war-hardened soldiers who had been in battle for a long time, they could not resist it, and the soldiers at the front of the formation saw the enemy's unhurried generals, like a mountain slowly pressing over, and some of the pawns of other nationalities who felt the pressure felt that they could not breathe well, and it was difficult to calm down

"Come on, order the artillery team to open fire" Peach Blossom Dalang knew that the enemy's momentum must be suppressed first, although the army in front of him has fought several battles, but they are all defeated by the enemy in a battle, or surrendered without a fight

The 300,000-strong army of the Coercion Army, equipped with more than 700 guns of various calibers and old guns, basically a long heavy iron pipe, with gun carriage wheels, the heaviest 6,000-pound and 24-pound guns are only equipped with 16 horses, and the smallest 6-pounder cannon, but 4 horses and 12 gunners and auxiliaries can be used

After the peach blossom Lang gave an order, the rear artillery team immediately ignited the cannon, but the power of this artillery bombardment was far greater than the bombardment of the artillery of the Arabic army on the city, the main force of the coercion army 700 standard artillery fired together, the land within a radius of more than ten miles was shaken by the powerful anti-seismic force, not only the artillery team of the coercion army was shaken, but the soldiers of the coercion army at the head of the city could also feel the power of the shelling, only felt that the masonry on the head of the city was shaking slightly, the soldiers were unstable under their feet, their faces changed color, and everyone said: " Don't stomp the walls down."

The power of the shock of the artillery of the coercive army was so great, but the Arab cavalry and camel formations that bore the brunt were hit by the cannonballs that rained down, and in an instant, countless shells exploded around them with a force that the Arabs had never seen before, and countless fragmented shrapnel flew in all directions, like messengers of seduction, killing these rough men one by one, and if they happened to be hit by a cannonball weighing 24 pounds, they would immediately be smashed with a blur of flesh and blood, and they were not human

The Arab generals laughed at the beginning of the cannon, saying that these Ming ** soldiers have no other skills, only shoot and fire, and dare not fight face to face are not as brave as the Arabs, the Arabs now also have firearms troops, most of the firearms troops use arquebuses, a few people use short guns and flintlock guns, but the number of firearms troops is very limited, more than a dozen countries are united with only thousands of firearms troops, and the Arabs' cannons are also old artillery, There are also old artillery guns loaded with iron sand and solid lead iron balls, even the oldest artillery of the Wai Cong Army is also a replica of the red-coated cannon, and the best is also an advanced steel cannon of large and small calibers, so they can't think of what kind of artillery the Ming Kingdom has

Waiting for the sound of artillery together, the Arab coalition army stretched for nearly ten miles in the array was hit by shells, each shell fell, it was several people and dozens of people were killed and wounded, and several Arab generals who led the troops to fight were also hit by shells, and the Arab generals who were killed on the spot only felt that the cannon rumbled, as if it kept ringing in their ears, and saw countless people being disemboweled by shrapnel in front of their eyes, and their flesh and blood were flying, only making people feel that the heavens and the earth were bloody, and there was no other sound in their ears, only the sound of non-stop shelling, and the neighing of camels and war horses. The screams of the wounded soldiers filled the ears, almost maddening

Although after seeing the power of the artillery of the Ming Army, the Arab Alliance Army began to scatter and dodge, and the casualties began to decrease, but the pressure of iron and fire is really incomparable, although most of the Arab soldiers are also fighting from the rain of guns and arrows, but they are all friction with a small number of Western army and the border guards of the Ottoman Empire, who has ever seen such a powerful artillery, where can they withstand it? After a while, the generals of the Arab countries heard that the sound of the artillery of the Ming army did not stop, and after listening for a while, they felt more and more urgent

How could the Arab armies withstand such powerful shelling? So the Arab generals immediately ordered, ordering the soldiers of all countries to immediately charge, and when they rushed to the enemy's main position, they would separate and attack the enemy's two flanks, and the Arab soldiers could not bear it for a long time, so they waited for the generals to give the order at this time, and if they were amnestied, the camel soldiers and cavalry immediately galloped wildly, and no longer cared for horsepower and camel strength for impact

The Arabian camel soldiers and cavalry had been moving slowly to put pressure on the enemy, and when they were three miles away, they had raised their horsepower to sprint into the enemy's position, and at this time, for fear of artillery bombardment, they were all desperately beating their horses, and the distance between them and the army was only five or six miles, and it was only a matter of a moment's effort, and they had already arrived

When rushing to the main formation of the Ming Dynasty, the first was more than 10,000 cavalry and camel soldiers under the United Arab Emirates, at this time because the distance was too close, the artillery of the army was unable to fire, and the infantry soldiers of the army had turned from the beginning of the uneasiness to the confidence to see the enemy who was blown up at the right time, and they were already completely ignorant of the various armies according to the training of the infantry to change formation to meet the enemy, the musketeers took the lead, and the sound of gunfire made a large number of Arab camel soldiers and cavalry scream and fell to the ground, Many camels and horses neighed so violently that for a time the Arab soldiers who rushed to the attack did not dare to take another half step

The Arabs saw that the coercive army in front of the formation met the enemy with a hedgehog-like spear formation, and saw the countless spears, and the generals of the Arab countries knew that if they were forced to attack, they were afraid that their subordinates would not be able to rush the enemy's position at all, and they would inevitably be swept by those spears on the tip of the spear one by one.360118*bubble! Book*

The Arab generals immediately ordered the whole army to change formations, turn into a line, and then force the front of the coercive army formation, although after reaching a distance of less than 500 meters, the coerced soldiers began to shoot, and when they got closer, they used grenades, which brought a lot of casualties to the Arab soldiers, but the musketeers of the Arab soldiers also returned fire, and when they went further, the strong archers on both sides also reached the distance where they could shoot arrows, and the soldiers on both sides drew their bows and arrows one by one. Arrows began to shoot towards the opponent's military formation, although the Arab army was seriously killed and wounded under the blow of muskets and grenades and bows and arrows, but the coercive army was also shot a lot by a large number of muskets and bows and arrows, and the Arabs only waited for the Ming kingdom to have a gap in the front of the coercive army, so they had to command the army to rush forward, and completely disrupted the enemy's formation with the impact of cavalry

After the two armies shot at each other for a moment, the Ming army was loosened, and the phalanxes were scattered in formation, except for the spearmen in front of them still did not move, the spearmen behind had stopped shooting, and began to disperse After seeing this situation, the Arab generals were overjoyed, and ordered their subordinates to shoot arrows and guns desperately, and after the spearmen of the coercion army dispersed, they could rush into the battle The Arabs only waited for a while to see the collapse of the coercive army, and the Arab 100,000 cavalry and camel soldiers rushed forward, killing all the armies of the Ming Kingdom in front of them

When the Arabs' eyes were blood-red, eager to rush into hand-to-hand combat, but there was a quiet commotion in the formation of the coercive army, a group of gunners holding muskets with a completely different style from most of the Han army arrived in front of the battle, each of them filled the breech of the gun with paper bullets, and the ordinary coercive army musket soldiers poured gunpowder into the breech is also completely different These Han troops used the breech paper firing pin gun with a range and power far greater than the breech musket, that is, the old fast gun of the Ming Kingdom, because of the paper bullet casing and rifling, plus the use of improved gunpowder, The effective range of these gunpowders has exceeded 500 meters, far exceeding the effective range of less than 200 meters of ordinary breech guns, but because of the fear of rebellion, and the encouragement of military merit, in addition to money, there are also rewards for the troops, and only the soldiers with the most meritorious service can obtain the rifle as a weapon

"Bang......" A bullet accurately passed through the chest of an Arab general, and the Arab general who was fantasizing about the ancestor Wu Yun looked at his chest with incredible eyes, only to see that a wisp of blood was about to spill out, through the shattered armor, and stained his robe so wet that he didn't feel pain, he only felt incredible, he also knew the range of the flintlock pistol, he was in the rear where the flintlock pistol could not hit, and he was wearing a fine iron armor made by Arab craftsmen, but he didn't know how to be penetrated by the enemy, It was really strange and incomprehensible, and this Arab general fell off his horse and died on the spot with a face full of incredulity and regret

Seeing that the Lord was about to die, the other officers and soldiers of this Arab country were in a great hurry, and their courage was greatly increased, and immediately many brave men took off their shirts, held large swords and hammers naked, and shouted and cursed in their mouths, inspiring all the soldiers present to go forward and fight to the death against the coerced army

It's just that the remnants of the five or six thousand Qing soldiers just rushed forward, but the originally scattered coercive army suddenly sounded the sound of sneering medicine line ignition, one by one small sparks splashed in all directions, and after a while, the Arab soldiers saw the fire in front of them, and a spear-like thing tied to the package flew out from the army formation, and it caught fire and exploded in the Arab galloping horse team and camel team. The sound of flying into the Arab army horse team and camel team was still non-stop, and the sparks after the explosion sounded, and for a time the camels and horses of the Arab soldiers were shocked, and they could no longer be controlled by the cavalry

Seeing that the enemy formation was disrupted, Peach Blossom Dalang knew that the enemy was broken at this time, so he ordered the army to go into battle, so that the enemy could fight across the various departments in front of the formation and listen to the order, and the spear in the mouth of the general was held obliquely, and everyone shouted in unison, the war drums roared, and together they attacked the extremely embarrassed Arab army Some Arabs due to the death of the main general, and the horses and camels were frightened, no one ordered to command, so they hurriedly met the enemy in the confusion, and were forced and shot by the musketeers and spearmen of the coerced army. The front of the Arabs could not resist the Arab armies for a moment, and could no longer support them, and only the remnants of 2,000 men protruded from the battlefield, found a gap, and fled far away

When the cavalry and camel soldiers on the left and right flanks rushed up, they were immediately rented by spearmen and musketeers to the other side's impact, and after a tragic battle and countless bullets harvested lives, the total number of Arabs on the entire battlefield was less than 100,000, and the rest were either killed or wounded, or fled to the left flank of the threatened army, and the left flank had cleared the enemy in front of it, and began to outflank the right flank. The artillery team after adjusting the calibration began to fire at the elite Arab rear army that was advancing step by step, only because the distance was too close, the heavy artillery was not easy to adjust, and it was also for fear of accidentally injuring the army itself, so it only fired shotguns and flowering shells with some small and medium-caliber guns to kill and injure the enemy soldiers

Peach Blossom found that many cavalry and camel soldiers had become targets for the coercion of musketeers because they were taller than the infantry, so they dismounted or dismounted from their camels. It's really funny to rush at my musket formation with foot soldiers" He groaned slightly, and immediately ordered: "Order the artillery team, all light artillery should not bombard the enemy cavalry again, and aim at this infantry to bomb me."

The rear artillery team got his order, immediately adjusted the muzzle, and fired at the Arab elite soldiers who rushed up from the rear formation, but the distance was too close, more than 100 artillery pieces only hit one or two shells, and the enemy soldiers had already rushed to the first line of defense of the infantry of the Wei Cong Army, and within 100 meters of the Wei Cong Army's infantry formation, the infantry formation of the Wei Cong Army had already changed from the beginning of the horizontal formation to the depth of the oblique formation, and the arquebuses and flintlock pistols in their hands could not stop firing at the Han Cong Army in sections, and they fired immediately, with hundreds of people in columns, and each column immediately retreated after firing, and the rear team continued to fire. At the beginning of the front team charge, due to the long distance, the firepower of the coercive army did not cause great damage to the enemy, and when the distance entered within 100 meters, although those well-equipped rear soldiers were also shooting while walking, but the formation of the coercive army changed, and the number of muskets was more than them, and the three thousand Arab musketeers who were quickly given priority were shot by tens of thousands of musketeers, and this distance was outside the aiming range of the Arab archers. Unable to do a lot of damage

When these elite soldiers of the rear army were pushed to within 50 meters of the main position of the Coerced Army, the muskets of the Coerced Army kept firing, and most of the proud elite troops of the Arabs had fallen before they could see the enemy's face, and on the way, only a few hoplites were carrying more than 60 pounds of heavy iron armor, covering the vital points of the whole body tightly, and there were cowhide shields to stop one first, so the casualties were not serious, and only three or four hundred of the 3,000 people were either killed by artillery fire or wounded by muskets halfway, unable to walk, and fell on the way

The remaining Arab generals, while calming the horses and camels that were still in a panic, stared at the marching hoplite army, in their opinion, if they could break through the enemy formation and cause chaos, they could at least lead the remaining cavalry in the other gate, and before the coercion army outflanked them, with strong assault ability and fast movement, cut down and destroy the enemy's artillery team, and then ordered the whole army to flee, so that they could reluctantly explain to the kings or chieftains in their respective countries If not, even if they can escape with their lives at this time, If you can't raise your head and be a person, you will be severely punished

At first, the Arabs saw the hoplites moving forward, and the artillery damage of the Ming ** was not very large, so their already desperate hearts immediately rose to hope, and one by one, the generals immediately ordered the pro-soldiers and generals around them to step up the collection of men and horses, and more than 2,000 reorganized cavalry moved to the left, trying their best to block the progress of the coerced army, as for whether these people are dead or alive, how long can they be delayed, but everyone can't care

When they saw that they were getting closer to the army of the Ming Kingdom, their firepower became more and more fierce, more and more Arab elites were injured and killed, and the original terrifying and murderous infantry army formation became more and more sparse, and the Arab generals closed their eyes in pain, knowing that there was no hope for this matter No matter how brave these Arab elite soldiers were, there were more than 100,000 coerced soldiers in front of them, and the remaining two sides of the Daming State and the Daming army were eliminated The Arab army in charge of the duel was coming, with the weapons, combat power and bravery of the coercive army, It is impossible to break a single position and defeat the whole division, and even a small loss will not be able to turn the tide of the battle

After thinking about it, the Arab generals finally realized that there was no hope of victory in the war, and even if they could kill a few more enemies or flee in a hurry, they would not be able to escape the end of the destruction of the entire division

"Come, send back to our army, no longer have to fight the enemy, the whole division retreats to the south" The Yemeni general immediately took the lead in preparing to retreat

"You will abandon the warriors of the other Arab allies who rushed to the enemy position, how can you do this" said the leader of another Arab country, only to see that the leader immediately gathered the troops of his own country and prepared to retreat "You ****??? The general of Yemen looked at this leader suspiciously, wondering why he said that he was not right to retreat but organized a retreat first, the leader smiled and said: "Our army withdrew first, goodbye" said and fled with his army "Damn cunning bastard" Yemeni generals only reacted that now the Ming ** team is huge, whoever escapes first can get the first opportunity, and the casualties are few, and the danger of annihilation is naturally inevitable after escaping

At this time, after the rumbling explosion, thousands of grenades blew up all the hoplites, and the Arab army began to rout, at this time, suddenly tens of thousands of wedges from the cavalry stabbed out, they rushed up with swords, slaughtering the coalition army of the scattered Arab countries, only a few of the armies of the Arab countries that fled first retained most of the troops, and the armies of the remaining Arab countries were almost annihilated, and the peach blossom Dalang also captured more than 100,000 Arab prisoners

As the armies of the Arab countries took the initiative to attack the city of Baghdad in the Ming Kingdom, hundreds of thousands of coerced troops and hundreds of thousands of regular troops of the Fifth Army and more than 100,000 troops of the armed pioneer groups marched into the Arab countries to loot the population and property

Under the city of Jerusalem, there are 100,000 Ming troops and 50,000 troops of the second army of the second army, and Muhammad IV of Jerusalem now has less than 50,000 troops, the Ottoman Empire has fallen apart, the whole is scattered, the army and all the armed forces have been annihilated by the army of the Ming Kingdom, and now the troops in the city are still the troops from North Africa, otherwise, he really can't even make up 50,000 people

Under the rumbling cannons, after several hours of bombardment, the walls of Jerusalem were blasted open, 100,000 soldiers with spears, muskets, flintlock pistols, and sabers rushed into the city, the morale of the Ottoman Empire ** team had been low to the lowest surrender, only the thousands of guards guarding Muhammad IV swore to defend their majesty, when the two armies were in the midst of a fierce battle, Muhammad IV slaughtered all his concubines and children, he is a descendant of Muhammad, He must not let his women be insulted by the enemy, nor can he let his descendants suffer the treatment of slaves, and then he committed suicide with a knife, and before he died, his eyes were looking at the map of the heyday of the Ottoman Empire on the wall****?? （

With the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Ming Dynasty immediately occupied all the territories of the Ottoman Empire, and Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and other regions in Africa also became the pockets of the Ming Dynasty, which was occupied by the Ming Kingdom and more than a month later, the last Arab country Yemen was destroyed, and millions of slaves were driven to do the most dangerous and arduous work. A large number of Arab and Ottoman women became the wives of the poor and the slaves of the rich in the Ming Kingdom, as well as the fans of the Red Mansions in the major brothels

With the occupation of the Asian and African continents by the Ming State, Li Long immediately organized people to dig the Suez Canal in later generations, "Commander-in-Chief Li, you can rest assured, I have sent spies to all European countries, this time to Europe, my subordinates found that Britain is indeed as you said, with the help of the French, the British king regained his throne again" John knew what Li Long was asking, and this matter did not cost him any energy

After the end of the British Protectorate government, the political situation in England fell into chaos, the peasants everywhere continued to revolt against the authorities and landlords, the soldiers in the army also showed signs of riots, the "Security Council" composed of high-ranking officers could not control the situation at all, the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy who benefited from the revolution were very afraid of the encroachment of their property, and hoped for a strong regime to establish a stable orderAfter Cromwell's death, because for the time being there was no leader who could succeed him, he could not find a leader who could succeed him. In February 1660, the bourgeoisie and aristocracy invited the famous monarchist and commander of the English army in Scotland, General Munch, to lead troops into London, and after controlling the situation with an iron hand, they sent special personnel to negotiate with Charles, and reached an agreement on the restoration of the Stuart dynasty In May, Charles returned to London and ascended the throne, It was for the Stuart dynasty of Charles II to restore the British restoration of Charles II's ascension to the throne, and did not forget to restore the pre-revolutionary ** rule, but was afraid of the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy, so the domestic and foreign policies during the reign of Charles II presented a contradiction: on the one hand, the interests of the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy were taken care of economically, and measures conducive to the development of capitalism were implemented; On the other hand, they are frantically pursuing reactionary policies politically and religiously and carrying out counter-offensives

Economically, Charles II approved in 1660 and 1663 the Enumerated Commodities Act and the Major Commodities Act, which were passed by Congress to strengthen control over the economies of the North American colonies in order to safeguard the industrial development of the country; a protectionist policy towards industry, with a ban on wool exports in 1661 and 1662; In order to protect British industry, prohibit the export of leather and other raw materials, and at the same time unconditionally prohibit the import of certain foreign industrial products, such as linen, woollen wool, etc. While protecting industry, the Restoration dynasty also took care of the interests of the nobility and agricultural capitalists, and promulgated the Corn Law in 1660, which determined high tariffs on grain imports according to the domestic price of grain, in order to maintain the higher price of domestic grain products. He declared that all those who participated in the trial of Charles I were "monarchicides" and were sentenced to death, and later expanded the scope of "monarchicides" to all those who participated in the revolution, and even exhumed Cromwell's body at the end of 1661 and showed it to the public, and did not hesitate to harm the interests of the state in foreign relations and implemented a pro-French policy

In the sixties of the seventeenth century, France was the biggest competitor of the English bourgeoisie in overseas trade and overseas colonization, and the British bourgeoisie demanded to strike at France in foreign policy, use government power to eliminate France's overseas power, and seize France's overseas colonies, but in order to get the support of France in the process of restoring ** rule in the future, Charles II did the opposite: not only continued to receive the allowance of King Louis XIV of France, but also disregarded the interests of the country in 1662, He sold Dunkirk, an important trading port that Cromwell had taken from Spain, to France for 200,000 pounds, depriving Britain of an important trading base on the mainland

In 1643, King Louis XIII of France died at the age of 5, Louis XIV ascended the throne, Queen Mother Anna regent, the Empress Dowager's favorite minister, Cardinal Mazarin served as the prime minister, becoming the de facto ruler of France at that time, and continued to implement the policy of Richelieu, further consolidating the French ** royal power In March 1661, Mazarin died He taught the king the teachings of Richelieu in his will: "Monopoly power, the king will rule everything" After Mazarin's death, Louis XIV began to govern in person, during this period, he did not appoint the prime minister, and personally presided over the Council of State, Listen to the reports of the ministers, sign all state documents, and deal with state affairs in person, regardless of the details, and the ministers are only submissive in everything At this time, the feudal system of France has reached its peak, and the local administrative divisions during the reign of Louis XIV are very chaotic, with religious divisions, judicial divisions, military divisions, financial divisions and supervision divisionsGenerally speaking, France is divided into a number of "departments" or "regions" In order to strengthen the central control over the localities, Louis XIV has provincial governors in each province who carry out the king's decreesand also sent to the provinces, who are ministers who are directly subordinate to the king, who are in constant contact with the Minister of State, the Treasurer and the Council of National Affairs, so that the local administration is subordinate to the central government, and the powers of the Ombudsman are multifaceted, as judicial inspectors, they are able to attend and preside over all tribunals and tribunals other than the High Court, they have the power to supervise all judges, and have the final jurisdiction to adjudicate crimes against the state and rebellion, as police inspectors, they preside over the general administration and control of the various municipalities, commerce, In addition, they were also responsible for the royal conscription, presided over the convening of the militia as financial inspectors, and they had the right to apportion taxes and deal with tax lawsuitsDuring the reign of Louis XIV, although France's industry and commerce had developed to a certain extent, due to successive years of foreign wars and the profligacy of the Versailles court, the country's financial resources were exhaustedAt the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, France's fiscal deficit was as high as 2.5 billion lithium, which greatly increased the burden on the peasants and craftsmen, and in 1662, there was a famine in France, As a result, the people were miserable, starving everywhere, and in some places there was a tragic scene of eating corpses

Li Long listened to John's introduction to him, and hummed softly, after the two chatted about the situation in Europe for a while, Li Long thought that every time John went to Europe, he had to take a long detour, and when the navy of the Ming Kingdom went to the Mediterranean to ensure the interests of the Ming Kingdom in the Mediterranean, he always went around in a big circle, so he thought of the Suez Canal in later generations, and thought that if it was dug up, whether it was a merchant ship or a warship in the future, the Ming Kingdom would have to take a lot less roads, so he asked people to call Shen Jinlong, Minister of Industry and Commerce, Holding a map, he instructed Shen Jinlong: "There is a body of water here called the Red Sea, which is the dividing line between Asia and Africa, and in this place, it is connected to the Mediterranean Sea on the European side, and you immediately give an order to let the Ministry of Industry send a large number of slaves to this place to dig a canal, so that our journey to Europe will be much closer, and it will be much more convenient for us to use troops against Europe in the future."

"Okay, Commander-in-Chief Li, the subordinates of this place have also heard of it, but I didn't expect to dig a canal out, the chairman's idea is really good, although the project is a little bigger, but we have a lot of slaves, get him a few million slaves to go up, it is estimated that it will not take too long, and in the future, merchant ships and fleets will be much safer to take this waterway" Shen Jinlong's eyes lit up after listening to Li Long's instructions, thinking to himself, why didn't he think that on these territories, there are people from the Ming Kingdom everywhere, Not to mention the large number of slaves in the Central Plains now, even if it is necessary to capture millions of slaves in Africa near the Red Sea

Li Long didn't know how to dig the canal, but there were a lot of talents in the entire Ming Kingdom now, and there was no need to worry about digging this canal, Shen Jinlong went down to prepare after receiving Li Long's order, and John also said goodbye to Li Long after reporting what he knew, and after they left, Li Long stared at the route of the Fourth Army on the map, and he didn't know what he was thinking

After Shen Jinlong received Li Long's order, he began to mobilize people to gather in the Suez area, the merchants of the Ming Kingdom and the Ministry of Engineering heard the news that a large number of slaves were needed to dig the Suez Canal, and they gathered here with the slaves in their hands, in recent years, due to the frenzied plundering of the population of those lands by various merchant groups, resulting in the phenomenon of oversupply of slaves, so that the slave industry was in a declining stage for a period of time, and the excavation of the Suez Canal, The large number of slaves needed consumed to some extent the slave supply that had been accumulated in the hands of the merchant groups and merchants
