Central Asian warriors from the region walked in a wide phalanx, their Central Asian-style chain mail glistening in the sunlight and shining with a silver glow. There were so many people and horses on the grassland that there were so many people and horses that they were boundless, so that the silver light reflected on the armor gathered together and turned into a sea of silver.

The prime minister of the Ottoman Empire, Koplulu, rode a sturdy Arabian steed and watched excitedly at the vast army in all directions.

"Shah of the Persian Empire, the great Abbas II, there is no suspense about our victory."

The Persian Emperor Abbas II rode a snow-white Persian long-haired horse with a bright red turban on his head. Hearing Koplulu's words, he looked at the grassland in the distance, as if thinking about something, but did not speak.

Bardip, the local prince of the Mughals, rode up and said in a loud voice: "The great Persian Shah, the great Ottoman prime minister, we have surrounded Li Zhi's tiger army from three directions, and these fools from East Asia have absolutely no idea what they are in. ”

Koplulu laughed, pointed his horsewhip at the Central Asian warriors in all directions, and finally looked at Baldip with satisfaction.

"Baldeep, you're doing a great job. You have succeeded in contacting the local nobles throughout India and bringing together every move of Li Zhi's army on our intelligence table. Li Zhi thought that he could conquer India with 200,000 people, but he didn't know that these 200,000 people entering the vast India would dry up in an instant like a drop of well water falling into a desert. ”

Hearing Koplulu's words, the surrounding Indian princes erupted in loud laughter.

Bardeep coughed and said, "Li Zhi has swept the entire Far East over the years. He is unstoppable on the coastal strip of eastern Asia. All the peninsulas and islands have fallen into the hands of the greedy people of this Ming kingdom. I heard that there is a huge continent in the southeast, which has also been controlled by Li Zhi. ”

The surrounding princes were a little interested when they heard this, and they all looked at Bardeep with wide eyes. Apparently these local aristocrats were not as well-informed as Bardeep, and they did not know much about Australia.

Bardeep nodded and said, "There is a huge continent in the southwest, and no ships have arrived before. Li Zhi led the fleet to conquer the continent. This continent is about the same size as the Ming Kingdom, and even larger than Persia and India. ”

Hearing Bardeep's words, the other princes all took a breath.

A continent larger than India was easily occupied by Li Zhi, how far has Li Zhi's territory swelled?

"I have heard that Li Zhi has invaded the New World from another direction of the earth, and is rapidly expanding his colonies on the western coast of the New World. ”

Hearing this, Koplulu frowned. Of course, he already knew what Bardeep was saying, but as the prime minister of the Ottoman Empire, which spanned Europe, Asia and Africa, Koplulu was a little embarrassed by his inability to colonize the New World.

But Li Zhi did it.

What a formidable enemy this is.

Bardeep looked at his colleagues around him, waved his hand, and said: "But this Li Zhi, who has won again and again, and has never tasted defeat, will lose in India!" ”

"We have already detected the situation of Li Zhi, whose 200,000 men are 110,000 scattered along the long supply lines from the seaport of Bahak to the area around Judlai. Our cavalry continued to put pressure on this supply line, and Li Zhi's Yizi battalion and samurai army were already exhausted, but they could only barely hold the safety of the baggage wagons. ”

Li Zhi's Tiger Ben army advanced to the western part of Gradna, and in order to hold the strategic city of Ziborg, a strategic point in the southeastern part of Gradna, he was garrisoned by 5,000 troops. Li Laosi now has only 85,000 regular troops in front of him. ”

"And our army of 600,000 fighting in India, supported by the local nobility and commoners, has no worries at all. All of our 600,000 soldiers and horses can be put into frontal combat, and although they are slow because of logistical problems, they can all go to the battlefield. ”

"Li Laosi continued to advance westward under the condition of unknown information, and we surrounded and outflanked with sufficient information. The vast expanses of Gradna are now ours in the north, west and south. As long as we are sandwiched in the middle, Li Laosi's army will fall into the miserable situation of being surrounded and annihilated. ”

Baldeep smiled and said, "600,000 people, 600,000 people with new rifles and artillery, 85,000 people killed." ”

The surrounding princes laughed, full of pride and arrogance.

600,000 people attacked 85,000 people on three sides, and even God couldn't save Li Zhi.

Baldip slapped the front-loading rifled gun in his hand and said loudly: "Li Zhi thought that his soldiers and horses were all divine generals, and our weapons were still scimitars and long swords, and he could knock us down before the infantry close to them with one shot!" ”

Even the nearby noble soldiers laughed, and the laughter was like a gust of wind, spreading across the steppe full of Central Asian warriors.

Koplulu touched his turban and said with a smile: "After defeating Li Laosi in India this time, Li Zhi's so-called Indochina Peninsula has no troops to defend at all. Our coalition forces will continue to advance eastward, occupying the entire Indochina Peninsula as Southeast Asia, which Europeans call it. ”

When Abbas II heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Clearly, Abbas II was confident in defeating Li Zhi. The only thing he was concerned about now was the matter of continuing to move westward into the Indochina Peninsula after defeating Li Laosi.

After defeating Li Zhi, the Persian Empire would expand its territory to all of India. And if he could continue to occupy Indochina, he Abbas II would become the greatest king in Persian history.

Abbas II looked at Kopluru.

Koplulu noticed Abbas II's eyes and said with a smile: "We Ottomans don't need the land of Indochina. We just want all the Han Chinese and silver in that land. ”

"The Han people are the most hard-working people, and we Ottomans want to transport millions of Han Chinese from Indochina back to the Ottomans as slaves. These slaves will build us roads and castles to help us continue to expand our vast territory as the Ottomans continue to expand. ”

Bardeep thought for a moment and said, "At the price of a Han slave of fifteen hundred badassos (a silver coin popular in northwestern India in the seventeenth century), Li Zhi's millions of Han Chinese in Indochina are also a great fortune. ”

Koplulu laughed and said, "Li Zhi thought that the Han immigrants would be able to occupy these lands forever when they went overseas, but he didn't know that he was arrogant and arrogant, and he turned the Han people into slaves and gave them to us. ”

When the surrounding nobles heard this, they laughed again.

In the eyes of these Central Asian nobles, since the deployment of troops on both sides has developed to the current level, there is no suspense about the outcome of the war.

Abbas II also laughed, the thick beard on his chin fluttering in the wind.

He raised his horsewhip and pointed forward, and said loudly: "Speed up the march and let Li Zhi understand what it means to be defeated." ”

The heralds around them rushed out on horseback. In a short time, the melodious Central Asian conch was sounded in the boundless Indian coalition army. All the soldiers roared loudly and quickened their pace, intending to annihilate the "lone and vulnerable" Ming army in Grakna.
