"The Ottoman Sultan was killed by the Han army!"

The other three great empires were shocked to hear that Suleiman the Magnificent, the invincible Ottoman Empire, had died in the chaos.

Suleiman I was one of the most majestic emperors of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and is currently the Emperor of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Overworld!

With Suleiman's death, the peninsula of Asia Minor, between Asia and Europe, was thrown into chaos, and everyone had foreseen a future when the Ottoman feudal aristocracy would fight for control of the Ottoman Empire.

It can be said that this war has affected the pattern of West Asia and Europe in the future!

"Retreat immediately!"

Ardashir of the Persian Empire learned that the Ottoman Sultan had been killed in battle, and his instincts were keen, and he immediately chose to retreat.

If it had not retreated as soon as possible, the Persian Empire would have ended up in this way.

The situation has changed, the Mughal Empire has long been crippled by the Han army in previous battles, and after the Ottoman Empire was severely damaged, only the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire were left to barely retain their strength.

The Han army plus the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Persia and Arabia were not necessarily their opponents.

"The Ottoman Empire has been defeated, the Persians have retreated, we are alone, retreat!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the desert lords of the Arab Empire immediately retreated as camel cavalry and Mamluk cavalry on Arab war horses.

"The Persians and Arabs have fled, and we will withdraw!"

The Mughal Empire did not dare to stay when it saw the other two empires retreating. The Mughal Empire had already been defeated by the Han Empire, and it was only because of the support of the other three empires that it dared to continue to attack the city. At this time, there was no one to support him, so he fled.

"Leave a squad of cavalry behind!"

Those who participated in the national war were the elites of various civilizations, and although they retreated, they did not forget to leave behind the broken army to prevent being broken by the Han army.

In fact, the Han army had exhausted its physical strength, and even if it wanted to pursue and kill the enemy, it was powerless.

The Han army concentrates its elite and strikes a complete blow to the Ottoman Empire!

Instead of completely angering the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire, it is better to cripple the Ottoman Empire first, after all, the Sultan who has killed them is much more hatred than Persia and Arabia.

"Huo Qu stabbed the big basket ......"

Chu Tian swung his sword and slashed a Janissary legionnaire, and when he learned that Huo Qubing had killed the Ottoman Sultan, he felt that the situation was a little more serious.

Huo Quai's killing of the Ottoman Sultan was equivalent to a barbarian killing the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty for the Ottoman Empire.

However, Chu Tian can't change this result, in the chaos of the army, anything can happen!

The death of Suleiman I exacerbated the rout of the Ottoman army and reduced the pressure on the Han army, which killed and wounded the Ottoman army, and Chutian took the opportunity to capture a group of Janissaries and the Sipahi cavalry. These were the elite troops of the Ottoman Empire, and they were the most suitable for serving as servants.

After Suleiman's death, there were no heroes in the Ottoman Empire who possessed the monarch trait, and Chutian's "Heavenly Khan" trait worked to force wavering Ottoman soldiers to surrender.

Chutian's corps suffered a lot of losses in the battle, and captured a number of Janissary corps and Sipahi cavalry to make up for the losses a little.

The 50,000 Han troops were killed in just a few thousand, while the Ottoman Empire lost tens of thousands, and the Praetorian Guard generals and player nobles fled with their troops.

Not only the Han army was taking prisoners, but also the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

The defeated Ottoman soldiers became trophies.

Chu Tian stopped his horse and looked at the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow from the north.

Surrounded by a crowd of cavalry, a duchess in the uniform of an officer of the Firearms Age appeared, wearing a two-horned hat and a sword hanging from her waist.

"Chu Zimou, if I attack you now, you will become my prisoner."

Catherine's expression was cold, and she looked indifferently at the man with blood stains on his body.

The Han army has experienced several major battles, even if Chu Tian personally went into battle to kill the enemy and ran out of physical strength, as long as Catherine waved his troops, the army of less than 50,000 people under Chu Tian and Huo An would all become her prisoners.

Chu Tian's greedy eyes looked at Catherine, which made Ekaterina a little uncomfortable, and the other party's eyes were aggressive.

"I didn't expect you to be in good shape."

"You think I'm going to let you go if you say this?"

Catherine waved her hand, and a group of Cossack cavalry surrounded Chu Tian and the others, pulling out a thick back wide blade about a meter long.

The war between the two civilizations was only between Catherine's thoughts.

Joan of Arc, Li Xiuning, Dian Wei and other generals guarded Chutian, preparing to fight to the death with the Cossack cavalry to protect their lordship.

Catherine haughtily swept over Joan of Arc and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"That's how the Grand Duchy of Moscow treats friends? Don't forget that you're still my servant. ”

When Chu Tian saw the familiar Catherine, he couldn't help but think of the capture of Catherine two years ago. If Chu Tian hadn't let her go at that time, maybe the child would have been able to walk.

When Catherine heard Chu Tian mention what happened two years ago, she still looked indifferent and didn't know what to do with this tricky man.

She drew her saber and wanted to stab Chu Tian to death with a sword to avenge the humiliation, but it was not necessarily her true idea.

"Killing me won't do you any good. The main city is controlled by our Han Empire, and even if you help us, the main city is still ours. ”

Chu Tian stared at Catherine deadly, although he did not have many soldiers and horses, although Catherine really had the ability to capture him now, but Chu Tian could only show strength.

The weaker he became, the more Catherine gained an inch.

The two men confronted each other, while the cavalry under his command continued to capture prisoners alive and loot for booty.

The other Han princes saw that Chutian was surrounded by the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, whose friends and enemies were unknown, so they sent troops to relieve the siege.

Chu Tian knew that the other Han princes would not sit idly by and have nothing to fear.

Unless Catherine intends to go to war with all Han troops, she will retreat.

Although the Han army was disabled, the Han army at this time still maintained a certain combat effectiveness and could compete with the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

The princes of Lao Qin, Mingguan, Huo An and other princes led the elite cavalry to arrive, and when they saw that Catherine was surrounding Chutian, they did not start, so they restrained their horses and watched this strange scene.

Mingguan, who had more than a dozen gauze tied to his body, asked, "Shall we interfere?" ”

Lao Qin's experience is richer: "It's still up to them to solve it themselves, we outsiders are not easy to interfere." One is not good, and a private dispute becomes a clash of two civilizations, and that is not good. ”

Many Han princes nodded silently.

The Han Empire has provoked enough enemies in this national war, and it is not easy to have an ally.

Although the relationship between this friendly army and the Eastern Han Dynasty was very complicated. It was not so much the relationship between the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Han Empire as the complex relationship between the two great lords. The decisions of the two High Lords will affect the pattern of the War of Nations and the Overworld.

Catherine saw the arrival of the Han princes, and the two sides really fought, and her cavalry may not be able to get the advantage: "Your reinforcements are coming, it seems that they can't capture you, you get out." ”

"Would you like to come to the city for a cup of black tea?"

Chu Tian couldn't let go of this ally.

The current Han army is undoubtedly the most vulnerable, the Han army needs time to gather population, food and grass, and other civilizations may make a comeback at any time. If Catherine is turned into the camp of the Han Empire, the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow will definitely be stationed outside the city, and the combination of the two civilizations will be enough to deter all the civilizations in the western Gobi.

"Black tea? There won't be any problems, right? ”

Catherine was suspicious, she really didn't believe that this cunning person in front of her would invite her to drink black tea warmly and friendly. In case he enters the city and is imprisoned by Chutian......

"Although you attacked the Ottoman Empire for your own interests, an Ottoman Empire that was chaotic because of the death of the Sultan in battle is undoubtedly one less threat to you, but objectively it still helped us in the Eastern Han Dynasty. I'm not going to do anything to you this time. ”

"I'm not going into the city."

"Whatever you want."

Chutian took Li Xiuning, Joan of Arc, Dian Wei and other generals out of the group of Cossack cavalry, and the Cossack cavalry did not dare to block it without the order of the master, so they gave way to a passage.

Without saying much, Catherine camped outside the city and digested the spoils received from the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Sultans were pro-conquests, the Janissaries were the Sultan's Guards, and the Sipahi Cavalry were military feudal cavalrymen with a lot of possessions on them, and their swords may have been inlaid with gold. In addition to gold, the chain mail, horse armor, and compound bows of the Turkish heavy cavalry were also very valuable.

The spoils of war obtained by Chutian even included the throne of Suleiman I. The Sultan's throne was inlaid with precious stones and gold, and Chu Tian thought that selling the Sultan's throne would be worth at least a thousand taels of gold, and it might be more than that......

"A total of 2,121 Janissaries were captured, 1,203 Sipahi cavalry, 211 Kapikuru cavalry, 72 arquebusiers, and 18,211 other servants."

Fang Xuanling counted the number of prisoners, and there were more than 20,000 Ottoman soldiers captured.

Chu Tian inspected this group of prisoners.

In Lords, the Ottoman army was divided into an elite under the command of the Sultan himself, and a conscripted army of servants.

Chu Tian glanced at the captured high-ranking troops.

The Janissary Legion is quite numerous, and it is a sixth-order class like the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, which is an infantry/archery class.

The Sipahi cavalry were local military feudal lords, mostly light cavalry (6th order) and a few heavy cavalry (7th order). The Kapikuru cavalry (eighth-order heavy cavalry) was the most powerful heavy cavalry in the Sultan's hands, composed of the sons of nobles and local elites, equivalent to the tiger army of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The main body of the Ottoman army was a much larger conscripted infantry and tribal cavalry, collectively known as the "servant legion" by Chutian. In fact, it is composed of more than a dozen or even dozens of types of troops, just like there are countless types of troops in the Han army.

In the Ottoman Empire's servant legions, the low-level troops accounted for the majority, and the high-level troops were only a part.

In previous siege battles, the Ottomans used a large number of legions of servants to attack the city.

The most elite Kapikuru cavalry, Chutian only captured 200 people.

To Chutian's surprise, 72 Turkish arquebusiers (eighth-order special troops) were captured alive.

The arms of the firearms era, Chu Tian has not never seen them. The Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty is also regarded as a cavalry in the firearms age, mainly equipped with three-eyed firearms.

The three-eyed musket belongs to the musket gun, which appeared earlier than the arquebus, and appeared in the early Ming Dynasty, so the arquebusier who appeared later is an eighth-order special class.

The arquebusier is terrible because of the armor-piercing ability of the firearm, and the plate knight is also powerless in front of the arquebus. The combination of arquebusiers and spearmen already had the rudiments of the era of line infantry.

However, the restrictions on firearms in "Lord" are very strict, and the recruitment conditions for arquebusiers are very harsh, arquebuses cannot be mass-produced, and the advantage over cold weapons is not obvious.

Chu Tian obtained an arquebus from the arquebusier.

"Ding! Your occupation is not eligible for the use of arquebuses. ”

Chutian tried to use the arquebus and received a system alert.

It turns out that the arquebus must be bound to a specific class of troops before it can be used, which is the same as the three-eyed firearm and the Guanning Iron Horse......

This is also one of the limitations of the firearms age class.

In other words, the firearms of the Age of Firearms have certain advantages when dealing with cold weapons, such as arquebuses that can shoot through most iron armor at close range, eliminating knights. However, the various limitations of the arquebus doomed the arquebus to be only a high-level class, and it was impossible to eliminate the cold weapon class in "Lord".

Of course, if arquebusiers and spearmen were used to form a Spanish phalanx, the arquebusiers as a high-ranking class could fight against the vast majority of cavalry.

It depends on whether the lord can recruit the precious arquebusier, and how to use it.

Carefully counting the gains, Chu Tian's biggest gain was to obtain 72 arquebusiers, and for the first time, he had firearms troops, but they could not be replenished. 72 arquebusiers could probably serve as a guard.

The Ottoman Kapikuru cavalry was the most elite high-ranking heavy cavalry under the personal command of the Sultan, and its ability reached the eighth rank. In addition, there were about 3,000 men of the Janissaries regiment and the Sipahi cavalry.

In addition to the special Turkish arquebusiers, Chutian incorporated 20,000 men into Joan of Arc's servant corps.

The Holy Maidens of Europe commanded the armies of Western Asia, and although they were a bit nondescript, they should not be prone to rebellion.

This army of 20,000 servants is not a new recruit, and it is not weak at all.

Only by seeing the Ottoman Empire's troops and their attributes with his own eyes can Chu Tian know the essence of the Ottoman Empire. As a great empire that once spanned three continents, the Sultan's Praetorian Guard even had an eighth-order army, so Suleiman the Magnificent had the confidence to attack the main city.

However, Suleiman the Magnificent could not have imagined that an Eastern civilization would fight the Ottoman Empire with a Western civilization, and he was defeated and died.

"No civilization can be underestimated in the future."

When Chu Tian saw the arquebusiers and the Kapikuru cavalry, he was terrified. Suleiman the Magnificent did not have time to use these two eighth-order armies at all, only the Janissary Legion and the Sipahi Cavalry, otherwise the casualties of the Han army would have been even heavier.
