Chapter 1113 Collision

The basic strategic policy was quickly formulated.

It is nothing more than Azap cannon fodder breaks through the Chinese defense line, and then breaks through with cavalry to expand the breakthrough.

For Ottoman generals who are good at using cavalry and field battles, this is exactly their specialty.

But even so, from Ahmed Copluir to the other twenty Pashas, ​​they were all a little worried without exception. They were not very worried about casualties, they were worried about time!

Time is not on the side of the Ottoman Empire!

If they cannot regain Istanbul before the Chinese transported away their robbed wealth through Gallipoli, then even if they regained Istanbul, they would be just a joy... Is victory without spoils a victory?

Moreover, the victory of not being able to hand over the spoils to Sudan may lead to a furious sultry and then ordering the general to hang. When attacking Chania, the generals were cut off their heads because they had too few spoils.

The Ottoman Empire was a group of robbers and bandits. When they couldn’t steal things, someone would definitely pay the price!

After returning to the tent in the rear, Kuchukpasha said to Davichil:

"We should concentrate all Azap to break through from one or two places. As long as we use Azap to break through their defense, we will be able to win a big victory."

Ahmed Coprulu nodded and said:

"It's true. We have more people and more tricks. As long as we use them in a concentrated manner, we will definitely win. But we can't just hit one point, but we should hit a few more points."

"Big Viccier, do you have any plans?"

Mustafapasha asked.

"Although the Chinese are scattered, if we only attack them a little, they will definitely have the strength to defend themselves. This is their defense line. In addition to this long trench, there is also a very short wall. In front of their defense line, there are mostly defense facilities such as horse-resisted horses and deer forts."

Ahmed Coprulu pointed to the map and gestured:

"We should attack the Chinese people near the mountains first, creating an assumption for them. We do this to avoid their fleet. After all, there are their fleets at sea. Of course, this is just an assumption to attract their reserves there and create a void in the middle. For the attack here, we can use Azap..."

Ahmed said, and simply drew several symbols on the map.

"After the Chinese were deceived, we will concentrate the most elite guards and take advantage of the Chinese's attention to be attracted to them and break through their defense line in one fell swoop. Finally, we will throw in the cavalry, rush the enemy's rear, cut off the enemy's retreat, and before they can react, we will invest all our cavalry and use flood-like attacks to completely destroy the Chinese's resistance, speed, speed, or speed. As long as our speed is fast enough, they will definitely fail!"

One thing that is very certain is that Ahmed Coplulu's deployment has been written into military textbooks since this day and has become a standard tactic for breaking through the defense of enemy positions. Even until the era of armored chariots, this tactic was often used, but in that era, war horses became chariots...

"Big Vicciel, then when will we launch an attack?"

Mustafapasha asked.

"Tomorrow morning, after morning prayers!"

Except for the large number of Christian cannon fodder in Azap, most of the Ottoman army were believers. Of course, we had to pray in the morning before fighting. Ahmed Copruil thought about it,

"After Chen Qi is over, we will first deploy 200 cannons and 200 mortars to the right wing, bombard the Chinese positions with flowering bullets, and launch an attack after an hour of shelling."

Lightweight and flexible light mortars are not included in the number of cannons, and the Ottoman army is equipped with a large number of 24-pound and 32-pound mortars, and it is not uncommon for 68-pound mortars...

While the Ottomans were making final preparations for the battle, behind the Ming army front, in a fortress converted from the manor of Lord Hippasi, standing on the minaret of the manor, Chen Sen observed the movements of the enemy through a high-power telescope. Behind him were several officers, and their expressions were all relaxed.

Compared to them, Chen Sen, the Prince of Kang Guo, the general town of the Lu Army in front of the Expeditionary Army, frowns sometimes.

In fact, this is not his first time on the battlefield. He rushed with his father on the battlefield at the age of sixteen. Like Duke Kang, he fought for His Majesty for many years. He is also a veteran on the battlefield. However, as the first minister of the Qiansheng Dynasty, he felt pressure from him.

After all, he is the future Duke Kang!

The Duke Kang State... cannot be defeated!

"The town, according to the information, the Turks are transferring cannons to the right wing. They probably want to break through on the right wing. After all, there is a naval fleet on the left wing."

Reported by Kang Wenjie, the commander of Feihu Town.

"It's possible, but it's not that simple..."

Li Xianda, the General Officer of the Army, said.

"We have fleets at sea, but in terms of terrain, the terrain of the right wing is more complex and more suitable for defense. In theory, we would not choose to break through there!"

"It is not necessarily conducive to defense. The terrain in that area is unstable and has a close viewing distance, which is not conducive to our firepower. The terrain is also not conducive to cavalry impact..."

After pursing his lips, Chen Sen said again.

"Ahmed's choice was a bit unexpected! Navy..."

Looking towards the sea, Chen Sen murmured to himself.

"Is he really that worried about our naval gun?"

The naval guns on warships are even more powerful! There are at least dozens of cannons on a warship, and the number of cannons on five or six warships is even more than 50,000 Ming troops. Moreover, their power is even more powerful. How can the Turks not worry?

But, is this the whole reason?

"There should be some of this reason, but certainly not all!"

Putting down the distance in his hand, Chen Sen smiled.

"No matter what the Turkish people have plans, in short, if the soldiers come to stop, the Han soldiers will never be able to fight. It is never a verbal statement. Let the Turkish people see what the Han soldiers will never be able to fight!"

This is definitely not arrogant, but confidence, because they have never failed. Amid the laughter of the crowd, the messenger brought the letter from the crown prince, unfolded the letter from His Highness, glanced a few times, and Chen Sen smiled.
