"What?" Koprulu Facchir Ahmed straightened his upper body in shock, and with anger, he confirmed again, "What are you doing for a forward defeat?"

Although the Crimean Messenger had many answers to this question, he did not speak on the surface and was just scolded, which was also one of his purpose.

Farcher didn't get angry too much because he knew that getting angry with the messenger was useless. The important thing was that he could deal with it after knowing about the striker.

After thinking for a while, he sent other cavalry in the army besides the guards to rush to Baghdad first. Then, he also ordered the entire army to speed up and rush to Baghdad.

The next evening, the central army where Fachil was located arrived in Baghdad and met the Crimean Khan King Muhammad Gre IV who came to greet him. Naturally, he did not give him a good face.

Muhammad Grey IV knew that nothing was useful, so she consciously told the story of the entire war. Of course, he could not tell the truth.

For example, he could not say that he was careless because he did not expect that the Ming cavalry would dare to leave the city to take the initiative to attack when the troops were approaching, so he was raided by the Ming cavalry in the early morning.

He didn't say anything, and the Ming cavalry chased him and killed him so much that he had no time to command, but just rushed to escape.

In short, Muhammad Grey IV just emphasized that the Ming cavalry had very strong firepower and his subordinates were cold weapons, so this time he suffered a defeat.

But no matter what, the Crimean cavalry also gave the Ming cavalry a large amount of killing and injury. If you don’t say that, it would be too embarrassing!

After saying that, he presented the three-eyed gun seized (picked) from the battlefield with both hands.

Faqier looked at the firearm from the East. To be honest, he was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the Ming people in the Far East wanted to use this method to enhance the power of their firearms!

If the Ming cavalry all used this kind of firearm, one firearm was equivalent to three firearms, and the firepower would be very strong!

However, he immediately noticed the disadvantage of this firearm, which is that it has a short range!

Thinking that the Guards infantry had equipped the rifled flintlock rifle he bought from Portugal, he immediately felt relieved and didn't care much.

However, Faqier was somewhat strange. Logically speaking, the Ming army must have rifled firearms. Why do they not use rifled firearms on such firearms?

He did not expect that the high-speed movement of the cavalry would give it a chance to quickly approach the enemy. Unless it was a Gatling machine gun or something, it would not be possible to stop the high-speed advancement of the cavalry, even a breech musket.

This kind of smooth-bore multi-eyed gun actually can be stuffed with broken iron slag and other things into a barrel, which can form barrage at a short distance and give the enemy the greatest lethality. The ferocity of increasing the firepower is originally the mission of this gun!

At this time, although Faciel was very unhappy about the defeat of the Crimean cavalry in the first battle, he did not deal with it too much, because the Crimean cavalry was only a vassal army, and the Khan of the Crimean Khanate was the one in front of him.

Once the pressure is too much, people will likely pat their butts and run away. If they want to further punish them, they can only send troops to attack the Crimean Khanate.

Besides, it is understandable that the Crimean cavalry encountered such a firearm from the Ming army for the first time, and it was understandable that they would be defeated in the battle. Anyway, the Ming army was still in the city of Baghdad and did not escape, so that would be fine!

Faciel's concerns are not unreasonable. In the original history, in the Battle of Vienna, which had a great influence on the Ottoman Empire, when the Crimean Tatars saw the situation of the war, they refused to continue to work for the Ottoman Empire, thus pushing the Ottoman army into the abyss of failure.

At this time, Faqier made a decision in his heart, and instead he comforted Mohammed Grey IV and said, "This battle is not a crime! Thank you for your hard work, let's retreat to the outside world!"

After hearing this, Muhammad Grey IV felt relieved, and quickly expressed his gratitude and retreated.

Ottoman troops were camping around Baghdad, while Fachil stood at a high place, took out his monocular lens and observed Baghdad in the distance.

At this sight, he frowned.

Because he saw that the Ming army changed the walls of Baghdad from circular to diamond, just like the fortresses in Europe, and became easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Although some city walls have not been built and have gaps left, which seem easy to attack, he can see that if he wants to attack from these gaps, he will be hit by several attacks on the Ming army on the top of the city, and the casualties will definitely be very heavy.

"Cunning, that Ming Dynasty commander is indeed very cunning!" Faqier made this decision in his heart.

It seems that the gap is actually a deadly place, but it is often easy for the siege troops to involuntarily surround these gaps. This principle is the same as the army surrounded by the city, leaving them with a city gate not to fight, but only other city gates.

Although everyone in the city knows that the unattacked city gate is definitely a dead end, once the battle is unfavorable, people will often rush to the unattacked city gate, which will make morale more likely to collapse.

After seeing this, his monocular telescope began to move and looked at the Tigris River. Between the Baghdad castles on both sides of the left and right, there were two Ming warships parked on each.

This means that it is unrealistic to temporarily build some rafts and other attacks from the water. Even these ships can support the defense on the top of Baghdad from the side, which is probably not easy to deal with.

Unfortunately, the Ottoman Empire warships were all in the Mediterranean Sea. Otherwise, the Tigris River could not be compared with the vast sea. The steam paddle-wheel warships of the Ming Dynasty could not play their advantages. If there were more ants to kill the elephant, the waterway would be easily captured.

Thinking of this, Fachil couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Persian Emperor Abbas II not far away. The Persian Gulf downstream of Baghdad was originally from the Persians. If Persia had not been defeated by the Ming army, their warships would not have entered the Tigris River, and it would have been much less difficult to attack Baghdad.

"What a waste!" Faqil scolded in his heart, then picked up the monocular lens and looked at it.

On the outside of the Baghdad city wall, there were also earth walls of about one person and one person high. He could see at a glance that this was probably used to cover the Ming musketeers, and at the same time it also prevented the cavalry from rushing directly under the city wall.

Faqier sneered at this point. What era is it now? What is the use of these earthen walls under heavy artillery bombardment?

After watching for a while, he had basically understood Baghdad's fortifications and immediately sneered: "The Governor of the Ming Kingdom is just that!"

At this time, Faqier was obviously confident that he could quickly defeat Baghdad.

He then began to order to allocate 100,000 troops, mainly those Azap cannon fodder, and let them dig trenches around Baghdad. He did not want to siege Baghdad, but did not give the Ming army in the city a chance to break through.

The main purpose of his gathering of troops this time was to destroy these Ming armies and make the Ottoman army's power shocking the world again.

……………………

Seeing countless Ottoman troops sailing to Baghdad, and in the distance of Baghdad, setting off a tent that was endless, the relaxed atmosphere on the city of Baghdad and the excitement of winning the first battle finally faded away. Especially those Persian soldiers, they became a little worried again.

Although the Ming army is very strong, there are too many Ottoman troops outside the city!

For several consecutive days, when the rear troops of the Ottoman army arrived in Baghdad, Baghdad was the center of the circle, and wherever they looked outside the city, they were all Ottoman troops, just as if between heaven and earth, except for the Ottoman army, there were still Ottoman troops.

As the saying goes, there are tens of thousands of people, boundless. Not to mention, there are a total of up to 250,000 Ottoman troops, and the visual effect is indeed very large.

However, when these Persian soldiers saw the soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, they all looked relaxed and were not worried, they invisibly affected them. They reminded them of the words that the Jinyiwei generals said before.

Perhaps seeing them being influenced by the army outside the city, some local soldiers from the Ming Dynasty smiled and said to them: "Don't look at the many Ottomans outside the city. In our opinion, they are just native chickens and tiles! Do you know what native chickens and tiles are? Come on, I'll tell you..."

The emotional driving force is very obvious.

Under the influence of the robes, the Persian soldiers quickly recovered a lot.

At this time, Sun Chuanting began to patrol the city defense, and at the same time passed the words and expressed the purpose of the battle.

"The reason why I want to fight an Ottoman here is that I don't want to waste time and let them come to my door by themselves. After all, we need a lot of manpower to build the canal!"

In this sentence, I was not worried about winning or losing in this battle, but was filled with deep confidence. The Ming Dynasty will win in the Battle of Baghdad!

Not only will we win, but we will also capture many prisoners, which is to build the canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. This is the real reason for the initiation of this war!

Sun Chuanting's words are better than anything we will definitely win!

After the spread in Baghdad city, no matter what kind of Ming army soldiers were, they went to see the Ottoman army outside the city after hearing this. For some reason, when they looked again, they seemed to be no longer the army, but labor!
