The chariots, the horses are Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians on the road are bowed at the waist.

Hurry up, the dust is rising all the way, and the Imperial army is on the march!

As a Praetorian Guard, the Ottoman Empire still has the ability to support them with one man and three horses, constantly changing, so that the speed is relatively fast.

By land, passing through the beautiful peninsula of Asia Minor, the road is well greened, and the trees on both sides of the post road have grown into towering trees to provide shade from the scorching sun for passers-by.

The officials of the various cities vied with each other, they supplied the army, feasted the officers, and gave gifts.

The supplies presented are very abundant, this is the Central Army!

Aside for some tribal armies, the local officials have a different face, and they ignore it, not to mention supplies, and they don't even let them enter the city gates.

Just like the former Ming Dynasty, Qin Liangyu led the Guangxi wolf soldiers from Guangxi to the distant Liaodong to participate in the war, begging all the way.

However, due to the lack of local military rations, Kong Youde felt insulted and rebelled angrily, causing heavy losses to the Ming Dynasty, resulting in the most valuable artillery and navigation talents for the Tatars to get, which was a gift from heaven to the Tatars.

The virtue of the local officials in Turkey is as good as that of the former Ming officials, and if it weren't for the fact that the Ottoman Empire was still in its glory days, they would have gotten together along the way.

The armies of the tribes bought what they had money, but there were very few such tribes, and those who had no money were robbed--- and the farms outside the city were looted and emptied, and the landlords and peasants wanted to cry without tears.

The tribal army did not dare to suffer the central army, so they were hospitalized, Farhad Pasha was still very cautious, except for the big city, the higher officials were not sympathetic, he went to the banquet, the rest of the time urged the army to move forward, wanting to rush to the front line of Egypt as soon as possible.

On the surface he was calm and composed, but in fact he was anxious, and no one knew the anxiety in his heart!

As a commander general, although he is mediocre, he still has some understanding of military situation, which means that he has an understanding of the military situation of the world, in fact, he knows the Chinese better than any Turk!

After fighting in Europe for a long time, the Ottoman Empire often defeated material with spirit, and used fanatical flesh and blood to shake the guns of the red hair, and also occupied a huge advantage.

After the old war between the two sides, they made a friendship, after all, no one wants to shed blood and sacrifice!

Hongmao Fan told him: "The best guns in the world are in the East, and the strongest firepower is also in the East!" ”

Some of the red-haired fans told him about the horror of the Chinese: "They have both firepower and courage!" ”

Those Hongmaofan, are staunch patriots, they sell the guns and ammunition to the Ottoman Empire, if they are not still a little patriotic, the guns and ammunition sold are often of inferior quality, high price and cannot be supplied due to insufficient production capacity, the Turks will defeat Hongmaofan with Hongmaofan's guns!

Speaking of the strength of the Chinese, that is, the battle line bombardment, the battleships on both sides put on a posture, face to face at close range with the situation of bayonets on the cannons, shells are flying, not retreating, and can still win the battle, such an army will lack courage?

However, in the midst of the clamor of the Turks, Farhad Pasha could not swim against the current, but could only use his position and act cautiously to win the victory.

The march also took ten days and reached Damascus, where the intended army was to attack Cairo.

The historical city of Damascus, since ancient times, has been very prosperous, and now it is even more lively, squeezed into tens of thousands of troops, the local governor Adufu Pasha has come to him, such as amnesty, these soldiers have hurt him so much!

It is impossible to destroy your army without fighting the enemy.

scolded them for being sven and wanted to punish them, but Uncle Bing said: "We are about to go to the front line, the dying man, what can you do to me?!" ”

The soldiers bought and sold in the city, molested women, disrupted the market, and made Damascus chickens

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally the Lord was hoped, Adev Pasha said to him: "Your people, you take care of it quickly!" ”

"Yes, after I have sorted out the army, the command is ready to move forward!" Farhad Pasha nodded, and his next sentence made Adev Pasha bitter: "Please prepare the military resources and let the army allocate it!" ”

If you want to send away these soldiers, you still have to give what you should give.

Farhad Pasha arrived in Damascus in the morning, had a meal with Adev Pasha at noon, and summoned the officers in the afternoon at the camp outside the city.

In fact, as soon as he arrived, he sent a herald to inform the officers, so the officers arrived at the camp outside the city on time to see the commander.

Seeing the six generals, a slight smile appeared on Farhad Pasha's face, which six generals?

Tufixi's musketeer led Os, who led a new class of troops born out of the Ottoman Empire's 17th-century military reforms, wore a flintlock pistol and a Dutch sword at his waist.

The Turks were full of the power of the red-haired firearms, and although they had strong mental strength and blocked the attack of the red-haired fan, they shed a lot of blood, and then learned from the pain, established a musket factory to produce flintlock guns, and then established a musket unit.

This is an armed force with new technology and equipment, and the Turks spend a lot of money on it, because of the excessive corruption of officials, its equipment is expensive, and everyone uses flintlock pistols for individual ---arms, but the price in Turkey is equivalent to twice that of the red hairy fan, and three times that of the Chinese.

Although the ruling Empress Dowager Kosem Sultan was a woman, she also knew that men's firearms were not to be disadvantaged, so she paid a huge amount of training money every year for the Tufixie musketeers to practice, and the silver went with the smoke, so their combat effectiveness was quite strong.

It's a pity that there are only 10,000 such troops!

The Tufixie Musketeers were ambitious and intended to compete with their Chinese counterparts, but what they did not expect was that there were so many Chinese musketeers......

Kapikuru Cavalry: They have abandoned their armor and only kept their helmets, and their commander is Hadi, whose troops are adept at frontal assault and forcing through enemy lines.

Tatar hussars: An elite cavalry from the Crimea, famous for their high level of cavalry and archery, commanded by Ilfani.

There are two more infantry commanders, Charari and Mehammud, both of whom are first-class fighters, and both have the courage of ten thousand people.

Finally, there is the sapper commander Mahmad, who is skilled in building siege engines, as well as in siege cities.

In addition, there is also his chief of staff Gazi, this person is short, he is from a small tribe, but he has good resourcefulness, and it is very suitable for him to be a staff officer, and then there is the guest secretary Aboud, this person has some officialdom brains, but the military strategy asks him for nothing, but what about miscellaneous chores, such as contacting the people who send food to the rear army, going to the front to transport the wounded, etc., he is very good.

Don't look at these little things, but the impact is not small, if there are no people, it can't be transported in time, even if the rear materials are piled up?!

Therefore, there are no useless people in the world, depending on how you use them, Farhad Pasha is still very proper.

It can be said that under the command of these eight people, Farhad Pasha was most determined, and then the commanders and generals of other tribes came forward to see him, including the troops of Asia Minor itself, the tribes of the Black Sea, and the Bedouins, almost more than thirty large tribes.

stepped forward one by one to roll call, and the big tent was very lively, and it took half an hour to complete the introduction.

He didn't talk much nonsense, and first asked Aboud that yes, the military supplies and equipment were well prepared, enough for 200,000 people to eat for three months, and the Ottoman Empire still had a very strong foundation.

Then asked Chief of Staff Ghazi: "Is there any change on the Egyptian side?" ”
