The Ottoman Empire was in full swing.

Without paying any price, they gained huge benefits from the confrontation between the European and Chinese alliances.

This also grew the ambitions of the Ottoman Sultan Mohammed and the Great Vizier Mustafa.

They hope to continue to seek benefits through the conflict between the two sides.

On the Black Sea, a huge Ottoman fleet sailed through the waves and arrived in Crimea.

The fleet docked at the dock, and a large number of Ottoman troops came down from the troop transport ship and sorted out the formation, and then marched northward with laughter.

"Great Vizier!" Ottoman General Kara saluted: "We accepted Kiev, but did not send troops to Vienna. What should the Chinese Alliance army take back Kiev?"

Mostafa was full of confidence, "Don't worry! I have my own explanation at that time. They dare not force us to Europe. You just need to accept Kiev with confidence."

After hearing his promise, Kara put away her doubts and saluted again, "Yes, I understand."

Kiev is the core city in the Ukrainian region. The Chinese Alliance gave up Kiev, which can be said to have shown absolute sincerity.

After confirming that it would be difficult for the Ottoman Empire to unite, Gao Huan changed his mind and turned to seek to severely damage the Ottoman Empire and seize Crimea.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire did not have many troops in Crimea. It was not a problem to take the alliance, but it could not bring a major blow to the Ottoman Empire.

Yuan Shizhong and others suggested that they besieged the city and attacked aid, and wanted to encircle the Ottoman Empire in a city in Crimea, forcing the Ottoman Empire to send troops to rescue.

However, after research by Gao Huan and his military staff, they found that choosing the battlefield in Crimea is not very beneficial to the alliance.

Crimea is surrounded by the sea on three sides. When the alliance army enters the Crimean Peninsula, it is prone to anti-siege of the Ottoman Empire.

Therefore, Gao Huan decided to use Kiev as bait to surround the Ottoman army that came to accept.

When the Ottoman Empire attacks Vienna, there is still something to talk about. If they get Kiev but do not take any action, then the alliance will have an excuse to start a war.

At this time, in the southern suburbs of Kyiv, a large group of Ottoman troops lined up.

In November, the wind was cold on the Eastern European plains, squirting on the face, like a knife cutting flesh.

Since October, the cold currents from the north have continued to move south. Heavy snow has started in Ukraine, and some rivers have become frozen. This winter is mostly a severe winter.

The 20,000 Ottoman troops landed from Crimea, in the cold, were extremely slow and stretched for ten miles.

Most of the Ottoman soldiers who came to receive Kiev from the warm Asia Minor shrank their necks, carried coercion guns, lowered their heads, spitting fog in their mouths, and advanced against the cold wind.

Ottoman General Kara, riding on a horse, barely cheered up and looked at the vast white fields around him from time to time.

"Kyiv." An officer suddenly said in the marching team in front of him.

The marching Ottoman army raised their heads when they heard the sound and saw a city appearing in the distance.

Kara rode on the horse, breathing white breath in her mouth, picked up the telescope to observe, and found that it was indeed Kiev City.

The army was marching hard all the way. Now that the target looked again, Kara showed excitement on her face.

"Cavals go and investigate!" Karaha was breathless and immediately gave a loud command.

The Ottoman army headed north and did not encounter any obstruction from the Chinese Alliance army. Kkara still sent cavalry to reconnaissance.

A sound of hooves roared, and nearly a hundred Ottoman cavalry galloped away and went to check whether there were any coalition forces ambushing.

This is the Great Plain, with clear views around it. In fact, there is nothing to check. The Chinese coalition forces in Kiev must have withdrawn.

After the cavalry left the brigade, Kara immediately shouted, "Go to Kiev immediately, enter the city and it will be warm."

The Ottoman cavalry ran to the outside of Kiev, and saw that the gates were wide open and the city was silent.

The cavalry led by the leader frowned slightly, tied the reins in front of the city, looked at the top of the city, and found that they didn't look like someone, so they said, "Go in and take a look!"

After speaking, the cavalry rushed into the city, and the cavalry had alert eyes, scanning both sides of the street. Everything was normal and there was no barking in the city.

The Ottoman cavalry did not find any Chinese coalition in the city, and even the people in the city disappeared, and Kiev had become an empty city.

Seeing this, the officer in charge immediately ordered his subordinates to report to General Kara.

Soon, the Ottoman army finally arrived outside the city and the army slowly entered the city of Kiev.

At this time, a few miles away from the city, in a forest, several Chinese scouts were observing the Ottoman army entering the city.

"The enemy has entered Kiev!" The team led by the leader was observing for a while and ordered his subordinates around him: "You go and report to the marshal, I will continue to monitor here."

The two scouts wearing white cloaks nodded, "Be careful on that end."

After speaking, they slipped out of the woods, mounted war horses on the back of the woods, and galloped away.

Thirty miles north of Kyiv, the Chinese army camp.

After formulating the plan and preliminary strategy, Gao Huan set off at the end of October, returned to Anxi Protectorate, boarded his special train from Luntai County, and returned to Nanjing to spend the winter.

After all, Gao Huan is the emperor and cannot be outside for a long time. Moreover, the generals of the alliance can already stand alone.

Although Gao Huan really wants to leave after the fight, there are many things to deal with in China.

After all, he is an emperor, not a general, and often he is no longer free.

After Gao Huan left, Gao Jie took over as commander and was appointed as the marshal of the Alliance's Western Expedition Army, where he continued to command subsequent operations.

At this time, in the fields, there were tents of the coalition forces, and dense soldiers were walking through the camp.

In the military camp, a large tent was built inside. The senior generals of the Western Expedition Army all untied their cloaks and sat around the fire in military uniforms to discuss military information.

Gao Jie stretched out his hands to enjoy the warmth brought by the bonfire and said to the generals around him: "We are stationed here. Once the Ottoman army enters Kiev, we will immediately go south and surround the city. At that time, we will force the Ottoman Empire to keep its promise."

Yuan Shizhong smiled and said, "They just want to take Kiev for free, and they probably won't comply with the promise of the United Nations."

"That's right!" Gao Jie smiled and said, "We can surround them according to the plan formulated by His Majesty and wait for the Ottoman Empire to send troops to rescue. At that time, we will surround the points to fight for assistance and severely damage the Ottoman army, and then we can defeat the European Union to the west!"

Everyone smiled when they heard the words, Yuan Shizhong said: "Kiev is already an empty city, and there is not even firewood in the city. Once the Ottoman army is surrounded, life will be difficult."
