Despite this, the Ottoman army clearly felt that the morale of the opponent was very high, contrary to the feeling when they first entered the Volga.

At that time, the morale of the Ming army was so low that there were constant rebellions to join their Ottoman Empire. However, later, when it seemed to be the interruption of the arrival of the troops in the lower reaches of the Volga River, even those tribes who were originally in contact, still negotiating conditions, and wanted to betray the Ming army, suddenly cut off contact, not to mention, the resistance of the Ming army was obviously desperate, which greatly blocked the advance of the forward line.

At first, Koplulu didn't know about this situation. Under the smooth progress, he has always been relatively proud. That Abbas II showed how powerful the army was, but when he led the army to attack, it felt like nothing more than that!

Of course, during this period, the former Mughal Odom did give him a lot of useful advice, reminding him of some of the operational characteristics of the Ming army, so that he could deploy in a targeted manner. As a result, he had a much more favorable impression of Odom, pardoned Odom's slave status, and gave him the official position of an attendant, which was by his side, so as to motivate him to give better advice.

However, later, the changes in the Ming army were passed on from one level to another, and when they reached the side of Mingweibao, Koplulu finally felt it.

This is not only from the feedback of the soldiers below, but also from the feeling of watching the enemy formation in person. He was puzzled by this, so he asked Odom beside him, what was going on in this situation? It's impossible, the Ming army is a relatively cheap kind, the stronger the enemy, the more disadvantaged they are, but the higher the fighting spirit, right?

"Prime Minister, the villain thinks that it is likely that the enemy in front of us has changed." Odom thought for a moment before replying, "The morale of the soldiers from their Ming Kingdom will be much higher. The villain felt that it was likely that they had transferred those soldiers with high morale to the front, and those who were afraid to fight with the prime minister were transferred to the rear. ”

Hearing this, Ko Plu frowned slightly and thought about it, perhaps, this is also a possibility!

However, when he asked about the commander of the Ming Kingdom, Odom could not answer. He didn't dare to deceive the essence of Koplulu, so he had to reply: "This commander of the Ming army has not been to the Mughals, so the villain is not clear, and he asks the prime minister for forgiveness!" ”

Of course, Koplu did not blame him for this, and began to enter the battle mode, observing the enemy position by himself, testing the enemy, and so on.

On this day, the Ottoman sentinels finally captured alive a Ming ranger, and then hurried to their commander to inquire about the situation.

"My lord, according to the confession of the Ming army, the reason why they have become high morale is because their emperor is a god who lives in the world! They are fighting for God! ”

"What?" When he heard this, he immediately scoffed and sneered, "This is really a joke! ”

"My lord, they said that just ten days ago, an angel came from the capital of the Ming Kingdom and conveyed the holy decree to them, prophesying what we were going to attack."

"Oh?" When he heard this, he frowned suddenly, but this answer was a bit unexpected for him. After a little calculation in his heart, although he didn't know how far the Ming Kingdom Jingshi was from here, he probably estimated that it should be when he just had an idea, and the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom would know about it, so that he could send a messenger to arrive here ten days ago. But is this possible?

The answer is, obviously, impossible!

However, the big guys are generally not in a hurry to jump to conclusions. Therefore, he turned his head to look at Odom and said, "That Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, you have always dealt with him, what do you think?" ”

When Odom heard this, he didn't think about it: "He is a devil, not a god!" ”

After finishing speaking, he saw Koplulu staring at him, so he was afraid again, so he hurriedly added: "He is the god of war, invincible, starting from our Mughal Kashmir, fighting all the way to Bengal, and then from Bengal to Kashmir, and never defeated......"

Hearing this, Ke Plulu was unhappy, and immediately interrupted with a cold snort: "Enough, you Mughal [fo] are fighting in the nest by yourself, giving the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom a chance to take advantage of." ”

At the time of the destruction of the Mughal Empire, he had already heard Odom tell the whole story. He believes that the real reason lies in the Mughal Empire itself. Pride and arrogance, intrigue, cannibalism between father and son, and self-consumption of troops, let the Ming army succeed!

"My lord is wise, it is Nashajahan who is suspicious of the third prince, and the third prince is plotting for the throne to let the Ming army take advantage." Odom knew that his life depended on the thought of Koplu, who could promote him from slave to squire, and even more casually beat him back to his original form, and even killed him without burden.

Therefore, when he saw that Copluch did not agree with his conclusion, he quickly changed his words. Of course, in his heart, he still thought that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was really the god of war! Otherwise, why wasn't Abbas II the Mughal Empire?

Koprius didn't care about Odom's changes, because in his eyes, Odom was just an ant. He quickly thought about the confession of the Ming army, and deduced from his own experience and experience, and finally came to a conclusion: this is a trick of the commander of the Ming Kingdom! In order to boost the morale of the Ming army, in this way, it can be explained.

Thinking about this, he didn't care. Continue to target the defense of the Ming army at Mingwei Fort, and think of a way to launch an attack to see if you can eliminate the Ming army in one fell swoop.

Compared with the original attack of the Tsarist Russian army, this time the Ottoman army was much more advantageous. Because they were attacking along the Volga River, and there was no Volga block. In terms of geographical advantages, the Ming army did not take much advantage.

However, when it comes to human spirits, Hong Chengchou will definitely not be weaker than Ke Plulu. Even in terms of fighting, it can be said that Hong Chengchou soared all the way in the officialdom by fighting wars, and reached his current position.

Therefore, although the strength of the Ming army is small, it cannot stand the high morale. You have Zhang Liangce, I have a wall ladder, anyway, when I see the move, I am not weaker than Ke Plulu.

There was even a time when Hong Chengchou suddenly sent his elite to raid the Ottoman Empire's subordinate headquarters. Just one blow is a great defeat for those traitors. The rout of these defeats even showed signs of affecting the home of the Ottoman army.

Thanks to the proper response of Koplulu, he immediately sent an elite to intercept the rear of the Ming army, and at the same time waited for the battle and shot any defeated pawn who dared to rush into battle, so as to stabilize the situation.

After this battle, Ke Plulu had an extra layer of understanding of the commander of the Ming army, and knew that this was also a scheming guy.

So, he adjusted his tactics. Relying on his strong troops, he besieged the Ming army at Mingwei Fort without attacking, and sent cavalry to cross the battlefield and go north to attack the weak points of the Ming Kingdom.

In this regard, of course, Hong Chengchou would not let him get his wish, while ordering the Ming people in the north to retreat further north, and on the other hand, he also sent elite cavalry to intercept the Ottoman cavalry that raided the north, in fact, most of them were cavalry troops of the Crimean Khanate.

The battle on the side of Mingweibao could not be divided for a while, and it was stalemate here.

In this way, the Ming army, thinking about persevering, the emperor will come to the rescue, and the morale has not decreased at all. On the contrary, the Ottoman army, without the initial momentum, caused high morale, of course, was affected.

……………………

In the south, another partial army of the Ottoman Empire, at the beginning, also went all the way south, simply picking up all the way and receiving the city from the Ming army.

When they arrived in Lahore, they encountered resistance from the Ming army. The retreating Ming troops from all over the country were concentrated in Lahore.

Compared with Hong Chengchou's tactics, Wu Sangui's countermeasures were different. He himself was in charge of Lahore, while his deputy, Li Laiheng, led an army of 5,000 cavalry and hid in Kashmir. As soon as the Ottoman army left, he began his show by crisscrossing the enemy's rear road.

Different from the plains of the Volga River Valley, this is a plateau, a mountainous area, Li Laiheng led 5,000 cavalry, never stopped, attacked and killed a place and immediately slipped away, never stayed, and even entered the territory of the former Bukhara Khanate. In short, the Southern Route Army, which killed the Ottoman Empire, could not concentrate on attacking Lahore at all.

And there is another point, Li Laiheng is a ruthless person, and he hates betrayal the most. Therefore, for those tribes who have taken refuge because of the power of the Ottoman Empire, he is not merciful at all, and will kill these tribes to exterminate.

The back road was like this, so that the southern route army of the Ottoman Empire had to divide a large number of soldiers and horses to surround and intercept Li Laiheng's troops.

However, Li Laiheng's department was the most elite cavalry army on the side of the Ming army, and it was the headquarters of the Ming army that was left behind. If the cavalry of the Ottoman Empire comes less, or only those vassal cavalry troops, such as those miscellaneous armies, or the Crimean cavalry, as long as there is no big difference in strength, Li Laiheng's troops will not be left at all.

Therefore, on the side of the Ottoman Empire's Southern Route Army, it was no longer overwhelmed, and the Ming army was deadlocked in the area north of Lahore.

On the side of the Persian Empire, Abbas II was more cunning, he pushed eastward, and after encountering resistance, he no longer continued eastward, but turned north.

His hand was really a bit unexpected by Li Dingguo. Because Abbas II did this, it was tantamount to parting ways with the fleet at sea.

At this time, the military strength of the Persian Empire was about 100,000. And Li Dingguo's department is the smallest number of troops among the armies of the Ming Dynasty, and the miscellaneous army is only about 30,000 people.

If Li Dingguo led his troops to catch up, without the geographical advantage, the Persian army was likely to turn around and kill a horse pistol. If they don't follow, the Persian army will really have to go north, and the target is likely to be Delhi.

What to do? A difficult problem was placed in front of Li Dingguo.
