From Soldier To Emperor

It has to be said that the way of siege of the Ottoman Empire opened eyes to the generals of the Ming army.

First, heavy artillery bombardment, or bombardment of the city wall with a large amount of black powder, to make one or several gaps, and then use artillery to clean up all the large city defense equipment on the city wall, such as slings, and let the defenders. Loss of long-range projection ability...

Then there was a large group of musketeers rushing to the city to suppress the firepower of the defenders at the head of the city, followed by a large group of melee fighters to break through the city.

These city climbers often wear iron armor and helmets. Ordinary swords can only kill them by following the gap, but the spear stabbing works well for them.

However, when the city climbers came up, they often took out their hand guns to shoot at the city defenders. If the pikemen line up, they will inevitably lose a lot. If the pikemen do not line up and enter the melee, they will deal with these city climbers. And lack of flexibility...

Climbing soldiers often carry two kinds of weapons, one is a knife or sword against light armor and unarmored, and the other is a blunt weapon against heavy armor, such as a hammer.

Therefore, regardless of whether the interception forces sent by the defending Ming army were wearing heavy armor, they would not benefit this group of climbers.

The only useful thing is to arrange musketeers behind the breach in the city wall in advance, wait for them to show up, use a salvo to consume a wave, and then enter the hand-to-hand combat.

In this way, it can offset the morale blow to the own soldiers from the hand guns fired by the boarders rushing forward to the greatest extent.

The Ottoman Expeditionary Army's siege routines for the Western Regions are almost like this, and it's time-tested!

Of course, the prerequisite for success is to establish that the Ottoman Empire has absolute artillery and musket superiority, and fully crush the Ming army at medium and long distances!

As for the field battle...So far, the Ming army has not had the courage to take the initiative to attack the Ottoman Empire, and naturally there is no field battle. Even if it is encountered in the field, the Ming army defends against the Ottoman expeditionary army's offensive under the pre-built field civil works.

It can be said that on the battlefield of the Western Regions, the Ming army was completely suppressed and beaten by the Ottoman Expeditionary Army!

The only battle that caused a large number of casualties to the Ottoman Expeditionary Forces occurred in the street fighting in the siege.

Because the human servants of the Ottoman Expeditionary Army were like warriors, they were often defeated in street battles, followed by the Ming army, and suffered heavy casualties!

Shule Army Town is still the first to be able to withstand the Ottoman Expeditionary Army on the city wall defense line for so long!

Of course, at this time, the army town of Shule gathered the last elites of Richard Daomen and the entire Ming Kingdom in the Western Regions, and they were also holding the banner of defending their homes and the country, and the numerous crimes of the Ottoman Expeditionary Forces invaded them. The Han people are angry, so they can reach this level.

However, this level was nothing more than a dying struggle in Euan's eyes, and at most it was the issue of consuming tens of thousands of human servants' cannon fodder.

When the entire Western Regions were laid down, the Ottoman Empire could turn the Han people into slaves, and then a large group of cannon fodder could be added to the Ottoman Empire's conquest.

This is how the history of the conquest of the Ottoman Empire came from. Otherwise, how could the enormous Ottoman Empire suppress local rebellions every year?

Except for the humans in Anatolia, which was first conquered by the dark elves, because they were close to the capital and received a lot of benefits from the expansion of the dark elves, they had a higher recognition of the Istanbul regime. Other regions included most of the regions directly under Istanbul. The human inhabitants are not cold to the rule of the dark elves!

They regarded the dark elves as conquerors, but never as the masters of their own country!

Even if the dark elves used a dual-pronged approach to repressive policies and religious beliefs to unify the writing and language in the Ottoman Empire, it would also be difficult to gain the identity of the ruled humans.

Of course, the dark elves don’t care either. They and humans are not the same race. Talking about identity, the dark elves find it absurd...

The unification of writing and language, as well as religious beliefs, are all for more efficient administrative governance.

While You An was watching the siege battle where humans were killing each other and listening to the various ‘sides’ touted by the surrounding human generals, a news suddenly came from behind.

"Thousands of human cavalry appeared in our back?

We have deployed at least 30,000 people in the back. Can't thousands of cavalry be able to stop it? "

The small officer of the Human Servants Army who reported facing Euan's cold gaze, brushed his back and was soaked in cold sweat.

"My lord, all the human cavalry are not afraid of death, and they have a strong impact. They have broken through more than ten military formations one after another, and behind the cavalry there is a large army of dead people. The rear formation is almost unstoppable... "

"What?! An army of the dead?!"

A touch of excitement appeared in You An's eyes, because he knew that ~www.wuxiahere.com~ In the entire Ming Dynasty, only Richard's personal guards had the undead army!

In other words, the disappeared Richard took a detour and ran behind him.

You An didn't think this was such a superb tactical maneuver. Even if he wanted to take advantage of the cavalry's maneuverability, he had to divide his targets.

Excluding the troops that are under attack, Yuan, including the rear front, still has one hundred thousand reserve teams that have not been put on the battlefield. Thousands of cavalry roundabout and outflank the one hundred thousand troops. It is a joke no matter how...

Since Richard is so crazy, You An doesn't mind playing with him.

You An has already seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and the courage is indeed good, comparable to the elite of the human servant army, and much stronger than the Persians and Arabs who have not been armed.

But that's all, in the face of absolute numerical superiority, the troops that can fight no matter how much they can be defeated!

With the accumulation of a series of victories, You An has not even put the legendary Taoist soldiers of Richard Richard into his eyes.

With Youan's order, tens of thousands of reserve teams began to gather urgently. At the same time, Youan had no intention of withdrawing the siege troops in front of him, and the siege war continued!

The Ottoman Expeditionary Force is large enough to cope with two fronts.

This is only the army that Euan brought to the front line, plus the Semu Army who is rehabilitating and replenishing, and more than one hundred thousand Ottoman army.

With so many people, who is afraid of the Ottoman Empire, which has unified most of West Asia, Central Asia, parts of Europe, and North Africa?

Don’t you see, the Ottoman Empire has repeatedly lost battles with the human empire in Europe, and tens of thousands of thousands have not taken a step back?

In the end, the coalition forces of the human empire felt that this war of attrition was meaningless, and took the initiative to stop and give up on recovering the Balkan Peninsula...

Before the back formation collapsed, You An led a tens of thousands of Ottoman troops to the battlefield!
