There had been news that the Ottoman army had assembled a million troops to fight over.

Nowadays, there are so many cavalry troops in the Crimean Khanate, a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire. It can be seen that even if there are no million troops, it is probably not far away.

The Ming army defending Baghdad had only 50,000 people in total. The gap in military strength affected the people's hearts and at least affected the morale of Persian soldiers.

Seeing this scene, the Jinyiwei Supervisors at all levels who were responsible for ideological work began to work.

They did not beat, scold, scold and scold these Persian soldiers, but just chatted with them with a smile and a confident tone.

"It's just some Mongolian cavalry, it's no big deal. Our Ming Dynasty has already swept the Mongolian grasslands, and it's easy to deal with them!"

"Soldiers are more expensive than elites. No matter how many Ottoman troops come, they will definitely be vulnerable in front of our Ming army. Even if a million troops come, what's the use?"

"This is not a big talk. In our Chinese history, there are many examples of winning with less. The Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Feishui, etc. Looking back, learn more about our Chinese history, and you will know that we Chinese are all full of ways in wars. What kind of battle has never happened?"

"I can't say that twelve years ago, Duke Xingguo led 30,000 troops, but there were no 50,000 troops at all. He rescued Kaifeng City, but there were as many as one million bandits. What was the result? At the negligible price of casualties, he killed millions of bandits and fled. It was Li Zicheng's troops who had escaped from your Persia before."

"There is also that Zhang Xianzhong. He was also led by Duke Xingguo, and his subordinates surrendered one after another. Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed and fled."

“…”

When Persian soldiers heard these examples, they suddenly felt that it was true, it seemed that there was no way to win if there was too much force!

Especially the bandits under Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were famous in Persia. But even so, they were chased by the Ming government troops all the way. Doesn’t this just show the strength of the Ming government troops?

After thinking about it this way, their rationality came back. Without the need for the Jinyiwei Supervisor, they were all ready to go.

If he couldn't defeat the Ottoman army, or was not sure, Governor Sun would not have been able to stay here after receiving the news!

Even if they were a Persian, the soldiers from the Ming Empire were not here, and they were not afraid at all. If that were the case, what should I be afraid of? No matter how precious I am, I can be more precious than the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and more precious than the soldiers of the Jinyiwei Army and Governor Sun.

Besides, after receiving the news, Baghdad moved all the people downstream. Today, Baghdad is already a military city and has been hoarding materials. It is obvious that he has been waiting for this battle for a long time. He must be sure that he can fight!

...

The most important thing about these various thoughts is that the Persian soldiers, who saw the calmness of the local soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, under the influence of such an atmosphere, finally felt relieved.

The uneasiness of meeting the Ottoman army for the first time and the fear that the Ottoman army had been pressing into the hearts of the Persians slowly disappeared under the confidence of the Ming army.

At night, I could see the Ming army in Baghdad patrolling nervously, as if I was afraid that the people from the Crimean Khanate would steal the city.

However, the people of the Crimean Khanate would never know that in the Governor's Office of Baghdad, Sun Chuanting was telling Huang Degong, and Yan Yingyuan said: "You two, when the dawn tomorrow, lead your cavalry to raid these Mongols. Remember, just catch the Khan flag and attack it, and the ammunition will be almost returned!"

"I will obey the order!" Huang Degong and Yan Yingyuan immediately clasped their fists to take the order.

The Ming Dynasty began with the Western Expedition, considering that the opponents would have Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, the generals they ordered had nothing to do with these two sides. In other words, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, or Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, etc., did not participate in the Western Expedition, or were just transferred to Wei Lat Mongolia to fight against the Tsarist Russian army.

This is not because they will rebel, but because they had promised them when they were recruited by the court and would not let them fight with the original thieves.

Therefore, all the soldiers who came from the Western Expedition were not from thieves, or in other words, they were not from thieves under Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

At this time, Sun Chuanting looked at them with a cold expression, but he had no expression. He told them: "In this battle, fight harder and more fiercely, give these Mongolians a warning, and give the upcoming Ottomans a warning, and kill them, do you understand?"

The brave ones win when the two armies meet! Huang Degong and Yan Yingyuan are both generals of war, so they naturally know the importance of morale to the army. They immediately didn't say much, and both clasped their fists and took the orders again and said, "The last general understands!"

……………………

At dawn the next day, the sky was just a little dawn. Huang Degong and Yan Yingyuan led 10,000 cavalrymen to quietly leave Baghdad, and then began to gallop towards the Mongolian camp in the distance.

Of course, there were also people who were alert to the sentries on the Crimean Khanate. Soon they discovered that the Ming army had taken the initiative to attack them, so they immediately warned them.

However, it is impossible to say that the Crimeans are not tired from their own country, then gather from the Ottoman side, and fight all the way to Baghdad as a striker.

Moreover, behind them were hundreds of thousands of Ottoman army, and in front of them were only fifty thousand Ming troops.

In their opinion, the Ming army had such a small force, and only a little more force than theirs. It was too late to hide in the city to defend, so how could it take the initiative to send troops to attack them!

Therefore, although according to convention, they all sent sent sentries to prevent sneak attacks. However, these Crimeans, from their Khan, Muhammad Gre IV, to the ordinary Crimean Tatars, were not prepared to be sneak attacked.

When I suddenly heard the alarm, the speed of this reaction was naturally different from those who were mentally prepared.

When the Ming army came to the front of these Crimean Tatar camps, the reaction speed of the Tatar tribes was different and they started to fight in a hurry.

"Damn, these Ming people are crazy!" Muhammad Grey IV said hatefully while hurriedly, "Since I have to give us credit, I will kill Ben Khan hard! Only 10,000 cavalrymen, and it is simply a dream to defeat us forty thousand," he said.

While speaking, I suddenly heard dense gunshots coming from outside.

“Mush…”

Just as he heard this sound, Muhammad Grey IV was shocked because he knew that there were not many firearms in his army, and so many dense gunfires must have come from the Ming army.

Just hearing such a loud gunshot, he couldn't help but shout, "How many troops did the Ming army come?"

"Khan, the Ming army is probably...it's only about 10,000 people!"

After hearing this, Muhammad Grey IV didn't believe it at all. He hurriedly snatched out the tent and looked at the battle side: There were only 10,000 people, how could there be such a dense sound of gunfire?

As the commander of the entire army, his yurt was naturally stationed in the middle, and the terrain was slightly higher. Therefore, after Mohamed Gre IV left the tent, he got on the horse and looked around and saw the situation at the battle.

The Ming army had already entered the camp and was coming to him. At the edge of the Ming army, there was smoke and gunfire, and the Tatars fell in large numbers, with people and horses.

“Mush…”

Amid the dense gunfire, the accomplices in front of them were beaten like sieves. The other Tatars dared to step forward. Even those in front of the Ming army were hurriedly avoiding them.

"Not good, Khan, those Ming troops are coming here!"

"Shank you, avoid it quickly. The Ming army is too aggressive, so it is better to avoid its aggressiveness!"

"Shank you, the firearm in the Ming army's hand can fire three shots in a row. The firepower is too strong. Go away!"

“…”

Amid the noisy, Mohamed Grey IV also saw clearly that the firearms in the hands of the Ming soldiers were relatively large, and seemed to have three to five holes, which could eject fireworks. Obviously, they were all gun barrels that could shoot. No wonder the gunshots were so dense.

Their Crimea is far away from the Ming Dynasty. If it is close, you can know that the Ming cavalry has always had this weapon called the three-eyed gun, and there are also a small number of four-eyed guns and five-eyed guns.

Originally, when the Ming cavalry encountered an enemy, they would dismount and form formations, then ignite the fuse, ignite the gunpowder, and fire these multiple guns.

However, the multi-eyed guns in the hands of the Ming cavalry have been improved by the military battle situation and have been changed to flintlocks, so there is no need to dismount and ignite.

In addition, all the gunpowder of the Ming army used white gunpowder, that is, smokeless gunpowder, which was three times the power of black gunpowder. The close-range lethality of this cavalry weapon suddenly increased a lot. After the fight, it was not too late to reload, but it could be used as a hammer to attack the enemy.

At this time, the Khan of Crimea was still observing. Huang Degong and Yan Yingyuan saw the Khan's banner and rushed to kill him.

When Muhammad Grey IV saw him, he no longer cared about anything else and quickly fled first, so naturally he did not care about command.

When the other Crimean leaders saw that their Khan was attacked, they all came to rescue them. However, the matter was rushed and their subordinates were unable to assemble. They even showed that you were like my way and I blocked your way, which was very chaotic.

That's it, the Crimean camp was in chaos.

Muhammad Grey IV fled in front, the Ming cavalry chased in back, and other Tatar leaders chased the Ming army, or wanted to stop them, but their own kings dispersed the queue.

From a distance, a torrent gallops across the gray ocean, like a shark among fish.
