At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 533

The Ming army continued to advance northward, like a broken bamboo all the way.

At the same time, the Duke of Daman assembled an army of 20, and headed south from Constantinople, seeking a decisive battle with the Ming army.

According to intelligence from the front, the main force of the Ming army is less than 5 people, including an elite cavalry and an artillery battalion, and the rest are all infantry, but for some reason, the fighter jets are extremely terrifying. If the city surrenders, or there will be no scum left.

Also as a superpower, the structure of the Ottoman Empire is completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is unified in name, there are many tribes, and their languages, beliefs, cultural customs, etc. are all different. Therefore, for King Muhad When an order is issued, it will not be so resolute in its execution.

It's like a huge machine that looks bluffing, but the internal parts are patchwork and not perfectly compatible. When it encounters a failure, it collapses much faster than expected.

When the Duke of Daman assembled 20 horses, the Ming army had already reached the Kyzyl River.

This place is only a thousand miles away from Constantinople, and there is no natural danger.

After careful consideration, the Duke of Daman chose to display his heavy troops in the city of Zigat and confront the Ming army across the river.

This city is not too big, but it has its unique geographical advantages.

Outside the city, there is a large swamp formed by the flow of the Kyzyl River, which can effectively delay the attacking pace of the Ming army.

Especially for the artillery battalion, the swamp cannot be transported, and without cannons, it is impossible to attack the city.

As expected of Osman's killing god, this trick really worked. The Ming army began to shrink the line of defense, but did not continue to advance for a long time.

Only then did Duke Daman feel relieved, and immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Constantinople.

In the letter, he described his strategic intentions and the movements of the Ming army, and told King Muhad that there is no need to take the initiative to attack now, but to delay!
The Ming army fought in a foreign land. Although they occupied some cities, they were outsiders after all, and the local people would not obey them sincerely.

The frontal battlefield relied on a large swamp to block the Ming army's offensive, and then organized a small group of cavalry to make a surprise attack in the rear, and then incited the people to revolt. Over time, the Ming army could not bear the disturbance and would definitely withdraw.

This is a trick of dragging words, and it can drag the Ming army to death without bloodshed!

King Muhad was in a good mood when he received the battle report ahead.

However, the following news immediately made the smile on his face disappear completely.

With a dark face, Hafiz came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the scouts of the Orientals were found on the outskirts of Constantinople!"

Muhad was going crazy and asked, "Have you seen it clearly? Are you sure it's an oriental?"

Hafiz Kashya nodded helplessly, and said, "Sure, it's the Eastern cavalry!"

The appearance of Ming army rangers on the outskirts of Constantinople also means that the large troops of the Ming army will not be too far away!
impossible!

The letter from the Duke of Daman has not yet been warmed up. Why did he suddenly run to Constantinople on the Kyzyl River, which is still thousands of miles away?
Hafiz said solemnly: "They are only wearing light armor, equipped with long knives and short guns, and they come and go like the wind. I have already asked, and they are definitely not our people."

Muhad's eyes gradually became anxious, and he asked, "Why didn't you attack?"

"We tried to go out of the city to fight, but the opponent ran faster than a rabbit and couldn't catch up at all."

"What do they mean? They come and don't fight, what are they doing?"

"It should only be to detect the enemy's situation and prepare for the attack of the large army."

"But, their large force is in the Kyzyl River, shouldn't they be studying how to capture Zigat now?"

Hafiz's expression was extremely heavy, and he said, "There is a possibility that they bypassed Kizigat!"

"what?"

King Muhad was shocked. Since the Ming army landed, it has been unimpeded all the way, and finally dragged it by the swamp. Unexpectedly, the opponent did not follow the routine and bypassed Kizigat!

In this way, what is the use of the defense line that the Duke of Daman has worked so hard to build?
"Notify Daman immediately and return to defend Constantinople!"

"Your Majesty, you need to be mentally prepared for this..."

"what happened again?"

"Our courier may not be able to leave the city anymore."

"why?"

Hafiz smiled wryly and did not speak again.

Why else, they let you go out to report the news when they are approaching the city?
If the 20 troops of the Duke of Daman were stationed, Constantinople would still be able to hold on. However, these soldiers and horses are now thousands of miles away in Kizigat. If the Ming army suddenly attacked the city, the empire would be at stake!
Muhad sighed slowly, and said: "Send more messengers, even if it is a detour, we must find a way to send the letter!"

Soon, the people of Constantinople began to panic because they heard the news that the Ming army was approaching the city.

Some people even described vividly that the horses under the seat of the Ming army were extremely handsome, coming and going like the wind.

Their long knives are extremely sharp, and they are all precious knives that cut iron like mud. What's more terrifying is that their firecrackers have an extremely long range and are reloaded very quickly.

Hafez Kashya soon realized that something was wrong, and the news seemed to be a deliberate attempt to create panic.

However, he searched and searched, but he still couldn't find the source of the news, and he couldn't even effectively curb the spread of the news.

Before the war started, the city was filled with gunpowder.

Muhad's face became more and more gloomy. Sure enough, all the messengers he sent lost contact, and there was no news from them.

In other words, the main force of the Ming army has reached the outskirts of Constantinople.

The Duke of Daman, who was far away in the city of Kizigat, began to realize that something was wrong. Why didn't the letter sent to Constantinople receive a reply?
The fighting power of the Orientals is extremely terrifying, and no one can beat them so far, and I am the only one who can hold back the opponent's footsteps. Isn't such a result worthy of recognition?
Could it be that His Majesty the King thinks that if he can't hold on, it's a slack battle?

However, it should be the Ming army who is in a hurry!

Taking a step back, even if His Majesty thinks that he is not doing well, even if he reprimands him, there should be a response!
In desperation, he sent another letter, this time speaking more euphemistically, explaining his strategic intentions, and specifying at the end, please His Majesty the King to decide.

However, after the letter was sent out, not only did I not see a reply, even the messenger I sent was gone.

Duke Daman finally realized that something was wrong.

He hurriedly sent scouts out to investigate the enemy's situation, and the news he got was that there was no one in the Ming army's position on the other side of the Kyzyl River.

Some tents were even blown to pieces by the wind. It seemed that the Ming army had been away for a while.

Duke Daman was so furious that he confronted the air for three months!
