As the logistics hub of the hundreds of thousands of Ottoman Turkish Empire on the front line, Budapest was very strong, and even if most of them were ordinary slave soldiers and servants, there were many real elites, such as the Sultan Guard.

Therefore, in the process of capturing Budapest, when the Taiping army cleared the resistance in Budapest, fierce skirmishes broke out, and those Sudanese guards shouted Allah while resisting the siege of the Taiping army again and again.

The small environment in the city prevented the Taiping Army from fully exploiting the range advantage of Hanyang-made rifles, and most importantly, the Taiping Army first spotted Ottoman Turkish soldiers armed with Mini rifles in Budapest!

Although only a few hundred Sultan's guards were equipped, it also caused some trouble for the Taiping army.

Fortunately, the gap in the comprehensive strength of the two sides is like a chasm, after a week of cleaning, the whole of Budapest fell into the hands of the Taiping army, the Taiping army seized a large number of grain and grass materials, so that the Taiping army that eats on the enemy does not have to worry about food in the next two months.

Of course, in addition to grain and grass supplies, the Taiping army also seized a large amount of weapons and equipment and black powder.

Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire's firearms armament rate is low, it can't stand the large base, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire's army composition is very complex, and the various servant armies and slave armies are chaotic, which is more than the regular army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

The composition of the more than 100,000 main forces of the Ottoman Turkish Empire that stayed in Central Europe to fight was good, basically the main force of the regular army on the front line, and all of them were equipped with firearms, but the composition of the troops that stayed in the rear to guard and suppress the rebellions of various nationalities was very complicated, and the troops were mainly equipped with cold weapons.

Previously, the commander of the garrison of Budapest had planned to use the cold weapons troops in the city to fight the Taiping army in street battles, but unfortunately, the commander of the Ottoman Turkish Empire apparently ignored the factor of morale.

The cold-armed troops are all servants and untrusted slave soldiers, and these people may be fine to fight with the wind, but it is too much to expect them to fight for the Ottoman Empire after the city is broken......

Therefore, after the city wall of Budapest was broken, only 10% of the troops who really resisted were elite, and the rest fled and surrendered, without causing any substantial damage to the Taiping army.

Therefore, in the seemingly difficult offensive and defensive battle of Budapest, the number of Taiping soldiers killed was extremely limited, but the results were amazing!

Even if the current Taiping army can't use it to make bullets, it can be used to blast the city wall, and the Taiping army needs to consume a lot of black powder to blast the city wall, and these black powders are not produced by the Taiping army, and the logistics of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to transport ammunition and materials are already very reluctant, and it is impossible to transport other materials.

Therefore, the black powder used by the Taiping army, even artillery and shells, all came from capture.

The Hanyang-made rifles left behind by the fallen Taiping soldiers will be used as spare weapons to supplement the wear and tear of weapons in battle.

The Taiping Army only needed to transport boxes of bullets, and the logistical pressure of the Taiping Army was extremely low, as long as a large-scale armed delivery of bullets was carried out, it could fight several large-scale battles.

As for cutting off the logistics line of the Taiping Army, it is even more nonsense, in the field, without 10 times the strength of the troops, the Ottoman Turkish Empire does not dare to confront the Taiping Army at all, as long as the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire dares to come out to cut off the logistics line of the Taiping Army, the Taiping Army will be able to eat it all if it turns back with a lightly armed raid!

Without the drag of artillery, the Taiping Army, which has an extremely firm will to fight, has a very terrifying speed of marching, and it can easily crush all the elite troops of this era!

After taking Budapest, the Taiping army took a short rest, selected some pro-Han people from the local people to form a simple security team, armed them with captured weapons, and continued to sweep forward with all the troops.

The Budapest security corps, all of whom were Hungarians, gave the Hungarians, who were the majority of the population, independent self-government, and then gave them weapons to hold Budapest.

In any case, Hong Tiancheng is still wearing a Hungarian crown on his head, which is justified even from a legal point of view.

After the capture of Budapest, the Taiping Army made a good start, supporting the local occupation of the majority of the people's self-reliance!

Hong Tiancheng portrayed himself as a liberator and made a great deal of publicity among the people of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

Propaganda alone is naturally not enough, and those civilians are not fools, can't the liberators still see it?

When the other Taiping army swept away the defenders of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in Serbia and supported the Serbian national government to the throne, Hong Tiancheng's status as a liberator was finally recognized!

Even the bigwigs of the Anti-Han League were very surprised, they were extremely greedy for land, how could Hong Tiancheng, who had swallowed all the territory in his stomach before, suddenly become so generous?

The independence and autonomy given by the Taiping Army is not the same as the surface autonomy of selling dog meat in sheep's clothing before, every time the Taiping Army captures a city, except for plundering and replenishing the army, it never leaves any garrison, let alone builds a regime loyal to the Taiping Army, and all of its brains are handed over to the guerrilla organizations that cooperate with the Taiping Army.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time the Taiping Army did not support the local government as the protagonist, but helped them fight as allies!

The natives of the Ottoman Turkish Empire didn't know that Hong Tiancheng had a full-scale war system that could accumulate rewards as long as he won the war, and for the Taiping Army, which was only responsible for beating the Ottoman Turkish Empire's regime and supporting the local ethnic regime with sincerity, they recognized that Hong Tiancheng really wanted to be a liberator and defeat the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

Serbs, Bulgarians, Albanians, the Greek Peninsula and other ethnic groups, after the Taiping army relied on powerful force to destroy the local Ottoman Turkish Empire, rebuilt and established the country in the Balkan Peninsula like mushrooms after a rain!

Statehood in the true sense of the word!

And, with the support of the Taiping Army, the local oppressed ethnic regimes launched a racist massacre against the Turks, and for a while, the Balkan Peninsula was bloody!

The slaughter of the Turks in various nation-states was tantamount to standing in opposition to the Ottoman Empire, which was exactly what the Taiping wanted to see.
