Chapter 1581, Prince Ahmed, who was a prisoner

On the vast Dabik grassland in southern Syria, two armies are confronting each other, like two huge dark clouds. Although they have not yet collided with each other, the rolling smoke is already spreading.

The large army of the Ottoman Empire, with a total force of 120,000 people, was divided into three armies on the left, center and right. The left wing was troops from Europe, center and balkan vassals as the core, and was located behind the European infantry they brought. The Kurdish light cavalry who had just joined the Ottoman camp, was responsible for the outer cover of this wing.

The right wing is a force from Asia, centered on the Anatolian Legion and vassal cavalry from all over Asia. They have many Yaya infantry from local towns, and a large number of Turkic light cavalry are located on the outermost side of this wing.

As for the central army, it was the most powerful firearm unit in the Ottoman Empire now, with a total of 30,000 people. Among them, the weapons used by 20,000 musketeers were firearms made by the Ottoman Empire themselves, and the 10,000 were firearms purchased from the Ming Empire.

The Egyptian army they confronted, had a total force of 350,000 people, and 150,000 feudal army aristocratic army as the vanguard, with 100,000 new troops on the left and right wings, and in the middle was the 30,000 musket army in the hands of Kansu II.

The vast and wide Dabik grassland is most suitable for combat between large corpses. The terrain is open, and the forces and deployment between the two sides are almost obvious.

"We will have a pitcher in Egypt if we defeat these people in front of us."

Prince Ahmed stood on a hillside with a telescope and watched the mighty camp of the Egyptian army.

He had been waiting for this day for too long.

Since he was captured by the Ming Dynasty by the Ming people, he has lost the face of the Ottoman Crown Prince.

Not only did Bayesette II, who loved him, was extremely disappointed with him, but the military governor of the Ottoman Empire also changed his attitude towards him and turned to support his younger brother Selim. As for the Urima class, they always supported Kaulkud, who prefers science, religion, poetry and music.

If it weren't for the eldest son and because I was always kind, many ministers supported me, and Bayesette II also liked me more, maybe I would have been sent to a remote area of ​​the empire to retire.

Fortunately, with the deteriorating health of Valice II in recent years, and with the many ministers saying it for him, the battle that year was not incompetent, because even the most capable governor of the Ottoman Empire was still defeated by the Ming Empire's army with three times the strength of the Ming army and the support of Erzinjan City.

This is enough to show that it is not because he is incompetent, but because the Ming Dynasty is too strong.

The ministers who supported them said some good things to themselves. Their two younger brothers, Kaulkud, did not do their jobs, knew that playing poetry, songs, etc. was obviously eliminated.

Selim was ruthless. Although Jenicheri's army had supported many governors on the European front, he was too ruthless, which made the elderly Bayesette II and many ministers disliked.

Therefore, Prince Ahmed, who was once a prisoner of the Ming people, has been slowly re-activated. This time he has obtained an extremely rare opportunity to lead an army of 120,000 to fight against Egypt.

He has always advocated starting a war with the Ming Dynasty, taking back everything he lost and stop paying war reparations to the Ming Empire.

The war compensation of five million taels of silver every year is an extremely heavy burden. Such silver is enough to arm hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ottoman Empire.

However, the people of the Ming Dynasty were already afraid of being beaten by the Ottoman Empire. Not only was Bayesette II scared of being beaten, but many governors and generals in the army were also very afraid of the Ming Dynasty. They would rather fight in Europe than face the Ming Dynasty.

His propositions have never been supported by most people, but only a few governors and generals on the front lines of Europe.

So Tugayi was very upset when he heard Ali Pasha's words.

The Ming army may be very strong, but the Egyptian army, which imitates the Ming army, must be very strong?

"You have also seen it when you were in Vienna. The musket army in the hands of the Spanish was built in the imitation of the army of the Ming Empire. I can only say that the army of the Ming people is so powerful that it is hopeless."

Ali Pasha looked at Tugai and said lightly.

When he heard Ali Pasha mentioning the Vienna War and hearing the Spanish musketeers, Tugayi had nothing to say. Back then, he personally participated in the Vienna War and witnessed the Spanish musketeers walking neatly with the drum beats, tearing the Ottoman army camp like a sharp sword.

In the end, the Ottoman Empire also used the same musketeers to block the attack of the Spanish musketeers, fighting both sides and losing. In the end, the Vienna War ended with the failure of the Ottoman Empire.

"Governor Tugayi means that we don't have to overestimate the enemy and lose our confidence."

Ahmed smiled and came out to smooth things over, and his words also made Tujiayi feel better.

“Woooooo~”
