On the outskirts of Longyan Town in the west of the river, tens of thousands of Ottoman troops surrounded this small town. They had been attacking for a day and night and were bound to capture this small town in the river.
"Lord Pasha~"
"After taking this town, please don't massacre those Ming people. The previous batch of Ming people's children are very popular in the slave market. Not only are they easy to sell, but the price is also quite high."
"Arabs, Persians, and Venetians are all willing to pay high prices to buy these Ming slaves. As long as the general hands these Ming slaves to me, each of us will get half of the profit."
Beside the pasha, a Jewish businessman looked greedily at the town in front of him.
The people of Ming Dynasty were really too wealthy.
Even though it was just a small town with only 10,000 people, they captured a huge amount of supplies from the towns that were captured by the Ottoman army.
Endless food was piled up in warehouses in the town, so much so that their army did not even need to transport food from the Ottoman Empire.
There are also all kinds of things, there are so many things that an ordinary family in the Ming Dynasty owns, and they are also very valuable.
Porcelain, silk, cloth, tea, salt, cattle, sheep, horses, etc., a small town had as much as a medium-sized city in the Ottoman Empire, and it also made these Ottoman soldiers very rich.
After looting one town, they immediately moved on to the next town. The large amount of wealth made these Ottoman soldiers full of motivation.
The wealth of the Ming Dynasty people is as recorded in Marco Polo's travels. Even the most ordinary Ming Dynasty people have a living standard comparable to the small landowners and nobles of the Ottoman Empire.
"half each?"
"This is a good suggestion. I will order not to massacre these Mingren."
When Pasha heard this, he thought about it and nodded with satisfaction.
The towns he looted earlier also made him a lot of money. The wealth of the Ming Dynasty also left a deep impression on him. Every household could arbitrarily find dozens or hundreds of silver coins, and he could easily seize a large amount of materials.
I also made a lot of gold and silver from selling it.
Just as he was thinking about his plan to make a fortune, dozens of Sipaxi cavalry hurriedly came from far and near. Each of them had tattered armor and injuries, as if they had experienced a tragic battle.
"Lord Pasha~"
"Lord Pasha~"
"It's not good. His Royal Highness's army was defeated by the Ming army, and the prince was captured alive by the Ming army."
The leading cavalryman said hurriedly without even having time to take a breath.
"What?"
When Pasha heard this, he was immediately shocked and dumbfounded.
In just a few days, the 100,000-strong army led by Ahmed was annihilated by the Ming army?
Even people were captured by the Ming army?
"Dong~"
However, before he could react, the ground trembled slightly, and the dull sound of horse hooves came from far away, as if there were thousands of troops running towards him.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Soon, someone hurriedly roared, causing the army attacking Longyan Town to stop immediately.
They all looked towards the source of the sound of horse hooves, and saw a huge cavalry running towards Longyan Town in their field of vision.
"Folks!"
"Our Ming Dynasty's heavenly army has arrived!"
"Our reinforcements are coming!"
"Haha~"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
On the city wall of Longyan Town, the residents of Longyan Town were the first to take a clear look with binoculars, and bursts of cheers and roars suddenly erupted.
"Come so fast!"
Pasha looked at the Ming army rushing over and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"They are all cavalry~"
The pasha's men were anxious, the news had spread.
The Ottoman Empire's army was defeated. The 100,000 troops led by Ahmed were almost completely wiped out by the Ming army, and not many escaped.
"kill!"
The pasha looked at the army around him, gritted his teeth and said: "This is just their vanguard, there won't be too many of them. We will retreat after we kill them all."
After saying that, he immediately issued the order to attack. The opponent had come from afar and both men and horses must be very tired. It would be most advantageous to launch an attack at this time.
Soon, tens of thousands of troops led by Pasha attacked the Ming army.
As the Pasha said, this is just the vanguard, only 5,000 cavalry. But even if it is 5,000 cavalry, these cavalry are only two people and two horses. After taking a short rest, they are still facing the Pasha without fear.
The army killed them.
As long as they are held back, there will be a large force behind them. Once the large force arrives, none of the Ottoman army that invaded the river area will be able to escape. All of them will have to stay here.
The five thousand Ming army cavalry were like steel, their armor gleaming in the sunlight. The sabers in their hands were raised high, like extremely sharp knives, and they penetrated deeply into the Ottoman army, killing the Ottoman army with almost no resistance.
The army was separated.
Like a harvester, it kept running back and forth, over and over again, and the army led by the pasha, who was killed in the blink of an eye, fell apart.
"withdraw!"
"Quickly retreat!"
The pasha rode on his horse and fled in a hurry.
The Ming army was really frighteningly strong. Five thousand men dared to attack tens of thousands of them, and they were so unstoppable. It only took a few waves of attacks to scatter their own army. It was really terrible.
The 50,000 people he led were basically infantry. They came mainly to clear out the Ming army's towns in the river area. There would be no match for the Ming army's cavalry.
Even if there were only 5,000 Ming cavalry armed to the teeth, they were an extremely powerful and terrifying force, enough to tear apart the Pasha's remaining infantry of less than 30,000.
On the earth, war horses are galloping, fighting continues, and blood continues to gather, forming streams. In the sky, vultures are cheering and birds are singing, and the mother river is flowing quietly. On the road from east to west, Ottomans can be seen everywhere
The corpses of the imperial soldiers were constantly running away to the west, while the Ming army was chasing after them.
Chasing them all the way, as long as they were not from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army would wave their sabers unceremoniously. At this time, no matter whether they were from the Ottoman Empire or not, as long as they entered the Hezhong area, they must have some intention against the Ming Dynasty, and naturally they could not let them go.
The Ottoman Empire's army came with a total of 200,000 troops. It was fierce and mighty. It threatened to teach the Ming Dynasty a profound lesson and take away the rich Hezhong area.
However, in the blink of an eye, the 200,000-strong army disappeared. On the land on the southern shore of the Khazar Sea (Caspian Sea), their panicked figures fleeing westward could be seen everywhere, and dried corpses could be seen everywhere.
The Ming army was chasing them like crazy, and seemed to have no intention of letting any of them go.
…
Gaoyun Town, the westernmost town in the Hezhong area, once again returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, and Huo Ying, the Hou of Hezhong, rode into the town. Looking at the ruins and desolate Gaoyun Town, all the Ming soldiers present fell silent. Many people still had tears in their eyes. Some people
He rushed into a certain courtyard like crazy to look for his relatives.
Outside Gaoyun Town, the wheat in the fields has sprouted buds, and is green and full of vitality. However, inside the city, there are corpses of Ming people everywhere, lying in pools of blood everywhere.
Some women were humiliated and died without even a single piece of clothing to cover their shame. Some lovely children were thrown to death, and their young lives were withered like this.
"I was here not long ago. At that time, this place was as peaceful and peaceful as a paradise!"
Huo Ying's eyes were blood red and he said in a low voice.
As a general stationed in the Hezhong area, he traveled around various towns in the Hezhong area, and he visited Gaoyun Town not long ago.
"Send the order~"
"A generous burial for all the people in the city~"
Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, had no expression on his face and clenched the riding crop in his hand.
"Build a cemetery outside Gaoyun Town and bury all the folks in Gaoyun Town together."
"In addition, dig a big pit next to the cemetery and kill all the captured Ottoman soldiers."
Yang Yun coldly issued orders one after another.
Soon, the Ming army began to collect the corpses of the people in the city, build a cemetery outside the city, and dig a big pit at the same time.
"There are children here, there are children here~"
Just when the Ming army was cleaning up Gaoyun Town, someone was surprised to find a group of children in a secret cellar, and the Ming army present couldn't help but cheer.
Gao Yunzhen was not extinct, there were still people alive, although there were only a dozen or so children alive, and each of them was obviously frightened and could not even speak.
Next to Gaoyun Town Cemetery, a huge pit was dug.
Yang Yun, Huo Ying, Liao Yuan and others placed cattle, sheep and other sacrifices and conducted a grand ceremony to worship these innocent souls.
"kill!"
After offering sacrifices to the people of Gaoyun Town, Yang Yun looked at the tens of thousands of Ottoman prisoners who were pressed over, and ordered coldly.
Immediately, the Ming army pushed these Ottoman prisoners into the pit, and each of the prisoners seemed to have realized something. They were struggling and shouting at the same time.
However, all this was in vain. The angry Ming army didn't care about this at all, and they didn't care how the world evaluated themselves. In short, they only believed in one truth at this moment, blood debt must be paid with blood!
All tens of thousands of prisoners were ruthlessly pushed into the pit. No matter how hard they struggled, it was useless. The soil continued to fill in, and they were all buried soon.
After burying it, the Ming army sprinkled water on it, used war horses to stamp it down again and again, and then sealed it with cement mortar.
