Without the threat of the Ottoman navy, Wang Baobao personally led more than 10,000 Mongolian troops across the strait and set foot on Ottoman land.

Sultan Murad I immediately led an army of 100,000 troops from Bursa to stop the Mongols.

Behind Murad I, there were nearly 100,000 follow-up troops gathering.

All Ottomans believed that the Mongols could not defeat their great Sultan Murad I on land.

Anatolia, Shkodar city.

More than 10,000 soldiers have surrounded this small coastal town.

Wang Baobao was riding a horse, standing on a high hillside, overlooking the city not far away.

The city of Shkodar is very small. Although it is relatively solidly built, it cannot stop the artillery of the Mongolian army.

After all, the city wall of Shkodar City is very high and has a heavy weight. As long as the lower part of the city wall is bombarded with artillery, the city wall can collapse due to its own weight.

However, Wang Baobao only ordered to surround the city wall and had no intention of attacking the city.

"Master, please report back. The Ottoman barbarian army has already been dispatched. It is still about two hundred miles away from us!"

General Hao Hai riding a black horse came to report.

The Oara cavalry in the Mongolian and Yuan armies can be said to be the ceiling of light cavalry combat capabilities. The local Ottoman cavalry was no match at all.

The nearby area of ​​more than a hundred miles is already filled with the probing horses of the Ora cavalry.

"Okay, if you're not afraid of them coming, you're just afraid they won't come!"

When Wang Baobao heard the news, he showed a relaxed expression.

The Ottomans' land is spread across valleys and hills, and if they rush to attack in depth, they will be extremely vulnerable to ambushes.

Moreover, the current Mongolian and Yuan armies rely heavily on the artillery accompanying the army and are unwilling to take those rugged mountain roads.

Wang Baobao's plan was to come to a encirclement point to provide reinforcements.

After receiving the news of the Ottoman advance, Wang Baobao left only a small number of troops to monitor Shkodar City, and led the main force to intercept the Ottoman army.

The Ottoman cavalry soon encountered the Mongolian Ora cavalry.

As the elite light cavalry of both sides, the battle process was very different.

The Oara cavalry not only retained the tactics of the traditional Mongolian cavalry, but were also generally equipped with imitation versions of the Daming muskets. It was not easy to deal with the Ottoman light cavalry.

After several battles, the Ottoman light cavalry lost hundreds of people, while the Mongolian Ora cavalry only lost a dozen people.

Such a shameful performance made Sultan Murad I furious.

He personally led 20,000 Ottoman cavalry to pursue the Mongolian cavalry, trying to save his lost face.

However, the cunning Oara cavalry, led by Hao Hai, did not give the Ottomans a chance to fight.

After several pulls, the Ottomans' anger was completely ignited.

"Inshallah!"

"In the witness of Allah, I will definitely kill all these cunning Mongols!"

Sultan Murad I ordered the Ottoman army to advance at full speed.

On a plain, the Mongolian and Yuan troops led by Wang Baobao were ready to attack.

The Mongolian and Yuan troops carried a large number of spears to resist the horses, and soon established a solid defensive position on the ground.

Facing the aggressive Ottoman army, Wang Baobao led the Mongolian and Yuan armies to adopt a strategy of false defeat.

Not long after the battle between the two sides, the Wala cavalry led by Hao Hai acted like they were invincible and quickly "fleeed" to the left and right from the battlefield.

When Sultan Murad I saw this, he was immediately overjoyed.

Determined to make these cunning Mongols pay the price, they sent elite cavalry to pursue them.

The Mongolian and Yuan infantry led by Wang Baobao retreated steadily and retreated to the defensive positions that had been prepared.

Murad I led tens of thousands of Ottoman troops and launched a pursuit behind Wang Baobao.

When Sultan Murad I led tens of thousands of Ottoman troops and followed him, he found that the Mongolian and Yuan troops had stopped escaping and began to try to fight back. He immediately showed a proud smile.

"These stupid Mongols, with such a small number of people, dare to resist my army?!"

Murad I immediately ordered the formation to be set up, preparing to completely defeat these Mongolians who did not know the heights of the sky and the earth.

The Mongolian and Yuan troops led by Wang Baobao only had four to five thousand men, but when faced with an Ottoman army of more than 20,000, they did not panic at all, but calmly began to prepare for battle.

When the Ottoman army commander Murad I saw this, he immediately laughed angrily, "These Mongols don't know how powerful our Muslim warriors are. I will skin them alive with my own hands!"

With that said, he immediately ordered the army to prepare for an all-out attack.

Unfortunately, Murad I ignored an important issue, that is, the Mongols' perfect defense was not so easy to deal with.

When the Ottoman army began to attack, the Mongolian army was already ready to meet the enemy, and they had already made fortifications and preparations, and launched a counterattack as soon as possible.

The five hundred Mongolian troops inside the fortress launched a strong defense with the cooperation of six Type 12 artillery pieces.

Boom boom boom!

With the bombardment of the Mongolian army's artillery, the Ottoman army that rushed forward immediately killed and injured hundreds of people!

Although the Tiger warriors of Murad I were brave and good at fighting, it was difficult for them to withstand the counterattack of artillery.

Murad I was stunned. He had never expected that such a situation would occur.

The technological level of these Ottomans in Anatolia is very backward.

They had seen gunpowder weapons, but never one so powerful.

Now the Mongolian army's artillery was so powerful that all the Ottomans were overwhelmed, and even the pace of the attack came to a halt.

"Damn it, hurry up and continue the attack. They only have a few artillery pieces and can't stop us at all." Murad I roared and immediately asked the Ottomans to charge forward again.

However, the Meng Yuan army was still undaunted and still used artillery to fight back!

The Ottomans once again fell into a bitter battle, and people kept falling, but Murad I was determined and continued to send soldiers forward to attack.

Facing the Ottomans' human sea tactics, Wang Baobao immediately ordered the artillery to be replaced with shotguns for close combat!

Boom boom boom!

Thousands of shotguns were like an iron rain of death, instantly arousing blood mist among the Ottoman soldiers!

"Ah!" screams kept coming. Under such intensive artillery fire, even the Ottoman soldiers couldn't bear it and fell into a pool of blood one by one.

Murad I's eyes widened when he saw this. He did not expect that the firepower of the Mongolian army's artillery was so powerful!

"Sultan, what should we do now?" his subordinates asked nervously.

Murad I was silent. He really couldn't imagine that the Mongols actually had so many firearms and equipment.

"Crush again!"

Murad I gritted his teeth and issued the order to continue the attack.

It's a pity that Murad I just gave the order and the Mongolian army launched another fierce bombardment!

"ah!"

Another crowd of people jumped on their backs!

Murad I took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If we continue to attack, we don't believe that they can maim everyone!"

Unfortunately, at such a close range, the power of the Mongolian and Yuan weapons quickly defeated the attacking Ottoman army!

"How could this happen?" Murad I was shocked.

He didn't expect that his army would be defeated in a short period of time!

Murad I was unwilling to give in, and he once again led his soldiers to continue the attack.

Unfortunately, the results are still the same as before.

In close combat, the Ottomans simply could not withstand the volley fired by the Mongolian artillery. Hundreds of them fell to the ground, and many more were killed on the spot!

The Ottomans will definitely lose this battle!

"Sultan, what should we do now?" one of his men asked.

"Damn it, what else can I do? Get out! Get out!" Murad I cursed angrily and wanted to turn around and run away.

At this moment, Murad I suddenly heard a cry of killing coming from behind him, and then saw many Mongolian cavalry being killed on both sides of them at the same time.

"not good!"

Murad I's face changed drastically, and he quickly turned his head and looked behind him.

Thousands of Mongolian cavalrymen came out holding high the golden cross flag with a white background and black border.

Murad I panicked. He never thought that the Mongolian cavalry would come back!

Obviously, this is a strategy of the Mongols!
