vs 1084 If you knew this was the case, why bother!
Looting the old city of Cairo, Ilfani and his cavalry finally survived until the army arrived and were resupplied with baggage.
When Farhad Pasha led his army to the outskirts of Old Cairo, the people of Old Cairo were starved until their eyes were blue, their foreheads pointed, and their shapes haggard.
"I am the imam Mousavi, a servant of God, and those soldiers dare to be rude to me!" An imam said angrily that this man was one of the remaining wealthy families in the city, and that he thought he was a servant of God, and that no one dared to offend him, not even the Chinese did anything to him when he was there, but those soldiers dared to be so disrespectful to him and rob him!
Caught off guard, the imam lost a lot, and it hurts to think about it.
"We are all God's faithful people, and have never cooperated with the infidels, but that Ilfani has come to invade us and sack our city, and Lord Pasha will rule us!" Those people of Cairo are rushing to accuse Ilfani of his crimes!
Farhad Pasha didn't listen to a word, and said with a cruel smile: "Since they are here, let them join the forward battalion and prepare to fight for the gods!" ”
Yes!
Everyone was stunned, the imam had some knowledge, and he had also preached with the army, and knew what the "forward battalion" was all about, and the sergeants in it were the first echelon of the city, and the people in it were used to fill the ravines!
After filling up the moat in front of the enemy's city, the danger was too great to survive, and he said angrily: "If you dare to be disrespectful to the servants of God, you will go to hell!" ”
Seeing the sluggish appearance of the guards around him, Farhad Pasha waved his hand and said, "Take it away!" ”
The sergeants rushed up and took those who came to protest away!
The imam's scolding continued all the way, and someone ripped off his turban, crumpled and gagged his mouth, tied him up and took it away!
Farhad Pasha thought to himself: "You are right, I will not go to heaven, or I will go to hell!" ”
The news of the Chinese building a majestic city upset him, and if it were taller than the walls of Istanbul, the battle would be in the balance!
Istanbul was formerly known as Constantinople, and in order to conquer it, the Turks spent decades launching a series of large-scale battles
Until 1453, the Turks took advantage of the weakness of Constantinople, and the 14-mile-long city wall was defended by only 7,000 men, while the Turks besieging the city numbered 100,000, of whom 80,000 were regular troops.
According to Ilfani's report, the new city of Cairo was taller and steeper than the walls of Istanbul, full of defenders, numbering at least 50,000 men, and well-equipped and morale-boosting!
Hearing that Farhad Pasha's buttocks were on fire on his horse, he wanted to go to see what was going on at once, but at last he suppressed his anxiety and brought the army into the old city of Cairo and stationed it, and the soldiers were either to camp uneasily, or to go into the houses and live, and to store up supplies and settle down.
Things are not going well, and Farhad Pasha is terrified. He didn't sleep well that night, and got up in the middle of the night and walked around to inspect the sentry posts. Inspecting the sentry unit on duty at night, it turned out that a small soldier was taken down by him for a nap on duty, and he was sentenced to a hundred whips on the spot!
The fight made the soldiers scream so badly that the surrounding sergeants couldn't sleep well.
Early the next morning, he led his officers and cavalry to Cairo New City to inspect it.
At this glance, he and the officers looked at each other and were silent.
The heart of the thief in the city!
The officers of the Ottoman army were extremely shocked, and some couldn't help but say: "Is this really a city in three months?" ”
They received a report that the Chinese had built a new city in three months, and one person replied: "Surely it will not take more than five months!" ”
It has been less than five months since the fall of Cairo, whether it is three months or five months, which is an amazing and unimaginable speed of construction!
At an unprecedented speed, they knew that the Chinese were capable, but they didn't expect to be able to do it to such an extent.
If they build it, it may not be possible to do it in three or five years, but ten years!
However, the Chinese had already repaired the city in three to five months, and it was unimaginable that it was built so tall.
The Xiongcheng in the sun is like a radiant light, others can be amazed, but they are bitter because they want to take down this Xiongcheng.
If they can't be attacked, what awaits them will be the wrath of the Empress Dowager and the Sultan!
Ilfani did some work, and three days ago he sent a brave soldier to dive into the moat at night to find out the depths of the water, which he said was as high as the city walls!
That's not difficult, after all, it's close to the Nile Delta, and the water supply is convenient.
However, the city had already explored the foundations before it was founded, and it was built on rock, so there was no danger of subsidence.
Returning to the Old City of Cairo, Farhad Pasha had a gloomy face, and the first military order he issued was to detain all the men in the Old City of Cairo and join the Forward Battalion!
The people were stunned, they never dreamed that they would end up like this.
The blasphemous people followed the infidels and fled, leaving behind them, a people who were steadfast believers in God, but they did not expect that Farhad Pasha would use them to send them to death.
Is there such a ridiculous order under the sky?!
Annoyed, scolding, protesting, and pleading, all of them were useless, and the sergeants took them away, beat those who disobeyed, and beat them unceremoniously, regardless of who they were, and unceremoniously punched and kicked those who dared to resist, and the sergeants turned their swords against these people who were loyal to the Ottoman Empire.
The knife was unsheathed, the blood light collapsed, and the head fell to the ground!
The people were stunned and were escorted into the barracks by the sergeants, and they all squatted on the ground, with nothing to eat but some water to drink...... At this moment, they regretted it in their hearts, and they had already left with the infidels, so that they would not be captured and sent to death by these fellow brothers!
If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!
Before the Chinese left with the people of the Old City of Cairo, they told the whole city to go with them.
They refused to go, thinking that their co-religionists were more reliable, and now it seems that the Chinese have more conscience than those co-religionists!
It was too late to regret it, and the sergeants went into the city very actively to search for the people, arrested them all, and sent them to the barracks for safekeeping.
Soon there will be an attack, if there are no people to fill the ravine, then it will be the turn of the soldiers to fill it, dangerous and useless, then die friends and not die poor.
The city was full of ghosts crying and wolf howling, and the screams and cries were heartbreaking, making people's scalps tingle when they heard it, as if the end of the world.
Farhad Pasha is so sad that such a thing has been done!
Unmoved, accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, he understood: "If I am the victor, I will not be blamed in any way, and if I lose, who can go there to punish me?!" ”
Wowha!
