Chapter 905 Battle Situation
Even so, the army of the Ottoman Empire clearly felt that the morale of the opponent was high, contrary to the feeling when it first entered the Volga River.

At that time, the morale of the Ming army was low, and there were constant rebellions, and they came to take refuge in the Ottoman Empire.However, later on, it seemed that when the front of the soldiers arrived at the lower reaches of the Volga River, even those tribes who were in contact and were still negotiating terms and wanted to betray the Ming army suddenly lost contact. The resistance is obviously desperate, which greatly hinders the advancement of the forward line.

At the beginning, Koprulu didn't know about this situation.With the smooth progress, he has always been quite proud.That Abbas II explained how powerful the army is, but when he led the army to attack, it felt nothing more than that!

Of course, during this process, the former Mughal Odom did give him a lot of useful advice, reminding him of some of the combat characteristics of the Ming army, allowing him to deploy in a targeted manner.Therefore, he favored Odom a lot, pardoned Odom's slave status, and gave him the official position of an attendant to accompany him to encourage him to make better suggestions.

However, later on, the changes in the Ming army were passed on step by step, and when they arrived at Fort Mingwei, Koprulu finally felt it.

This point is not only from the feedback of the soldiers below, but also from his feeling of watching the enemy formation in person.In this regard, he felt very puzzled, and asked Odom beside him, what is going on in this situation?It's impossible. The Ming army is relatively cheap. The stronger the enemy, the more disadvantaged it is, but the higher its fighting spirit will be, right?
"Master Prime Minister, the villain thinks that the enemy in front of us may have changed." Odom replied after thinking for a while, "The morale of soldiers from their Ming country will be much higher. The villain thinks, It is very likely that they transferred those soldiers with high morale to the front, and those who were afraid and did not dare to fight with the Prime Minister were transferred to the rear."

After hearing this, Koprulu frowned slightly and thought about it. Perhaps, this is also a possibility!

However, when he asked about the situation of the Ming commander, Odom couldn't answer.He didn't dare to deceive Ke Pululu, so he had no choice but to reply: "This commander of the Ming army has never been to the Mughals, so the villain is not clear about it. Please forgive me, Prime Minister!"

Of course, Koprulu would not blame him for this, and started to enter the fighting mode, observing the enemy's formation by himself, testing the enemy and so on.

On this day, the sentry of the Ottoman Empire finally captured a ranger of the Ming army alive, and then rushed to report the situation to their commander.

"My lord, according to the confession of the Ming army, the reason why their morale became high is because their emperor is a god who lives in this world! They are fighting for gods!"

"What?" Koprulu sneered and said with a sneer, "This is really a joke!"

"My lord, they said that just ten days ago, an angel came from the capital of the Ming Dynasty and conveyed an imperial decree to them, predicting what we will attack."

"Oh?" Koprulu frowned when he heard this, but this answer was a bit beyond his expectation.After a little calculation in his mind, although he didn't know how far the capital of the Ming Dynasty was from here, he could roughly estimate that when he first had an idea, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would have to know, so that he could send a messenger ten days ago get here.But is it possible?

The answer is obviously impossible!

However, big shots generally don't jump to conclusions.Therefore, he turned his head to look at Odom and said, "That emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you have always dealt with him before, what do you think?"

Odom heard this and said without thinking: "He is a devil, not a god!"

After finishing speaking, I saw Kopululu staring at him, so I was afraid again, and quickly added: "He is the god of war, invincible, starting from our Mughal Kashmir, fighting all the way to Bengal, and then from Bengal Hit Kashmir, never lost..."

Hearing this, Koprulu was not happy, and immediately interrupted with a cold drink: "Enough, you Mughals are fighting in the nest by yourself, and you just gave the Ming emperor an opportunity."

When the Mughal Empire was destroyed, he had already heard Odom tell the whole story.He believes that the real reason lies in the Mughal Empire itself.Arrogance, intrigue, father and son killing each other, and self-depletion of troops allowed the Ming army to succeed!
"Your Excellency is wise. It was Shah Jahan who suspected the third prince, and the third prince tried to gain the throne so that the Ming army could take advantage of it." Odom knew that his own life depended on Koprulu's thought, and he could take advantage of him. He was promoted from a slave to an attendant, and he could beat him back to his original shape casually, even killing him would not be a burden.

Therefore, seeing that Koprulu disagreed with his conclusion, he quickly changed his mind.Of course, in his heart, he still thought that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was really the God of War!Otherwise, why didn't Abbas II conquer the Mughal Empire?
Koprulu didn't care about Odom's changes, because in his eyes, Odom was just an ant.He quickly thought about the confession of the Ming army, deduced from his own experience and experience, and finally came to a conclusion: This is the trick of the Ming commander!Use this to boost the morale of the Ming army, and in this way, it can all be explained.

After thinking about it, he didn't care anymore.Continue to attack the Ming army's defense in Fort Mingwei, thinking of ways to launch an attack, and see if the Ming army can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Compared with the attack of the Tsarist Russian army, this time the Ottoman army will be much more advantageous.Because they attacked upstream along the Volga River, and there was no blocking of the Volga River.In terms of geographical advantage, the Ming army did not take much advantage.

However, when it comes to being human, Hong Chengchou will definitely not be weaker than Ke Pululu.Even in terms of fighting, it can be said that Hong Chengchou relied on fighting to soar all the way in the officialdom, and reached his current position.

Therefore, although the strength of the Ming army is small, its morale cannot be kept high.You have Zhang Liangce, and I have the wall ladder. Anyway, it is no weaker than Ke Pululu.

There was even one time when Hong Chengchou suddenly sent his elite to raid the Ottoman Empire's troops.Just one blow is enough to defeat those traitors.The defeat of these defeated soldiers even showed signs of affecting the Ottoman army.

Fortunately, Ke Pululu responded properly, and immediately sent elites to intercept the back of the Ming army, and at the same time waited in full force, shooting and killing any defeated soldiers who dared to charge into the battle, and the situation was stabilized.

After this battle, Ke Pululu knew the commander of the Ming army better, and knew that he was also a scheming guy.

So, he adjusted his tactics.Relying on his strong military force, he surrounded the Ming army in Fort Mingwei without attacking it, and sent cavalry troops across the battlefield to the north to attack the weak points of the Ming country.

In this regard, of course Hong Chengchou would not let him do what he wanted. While ordering the Ming people in the north to retreat further north, he also sent elite cavalry to intercept the Ottoman cavalry that was raiding northward. In fact, most of them were the Crimean Khanate. cavalry.

The battle on Fort Mingwy couldn't tell the winner for a while, and it was stalemate here.

In this way, the Ming army wanted to persevere, and the emperor would come to rescue them, and their morale did not drop at all.On the contrary, on the Ottoman army's side, there was no initial momentum, and the resulting high morale was of course affected.

........................

In the south, another partial army of the Ottoman Empire, at the beginning, also went all the way south, and it was almost picked up all the way, accepting the city from the Ming army.

It was not until Lahore that they encountered resistance from the Ming army.The Ming army retreated from various places, all concentrated in Lahore.

Compared with Hong Chengchou's tactics, Wu Sangui's countermeasures are different.He himself sits in Lahore, while his deputy Li Laiheng is hiding in Kashmir with [-] cavalry.As soon as the Ottoman army left, he criss-crossed the enemy's rear and began his performance.

Different from the plains in the Volga River Basin, this is a plateau and a mountainous area. Li Laiheng led five thousand cavalry troops and never stopped. Once they attacked and killed a place, they immediately slipped away and never stayed. They even killed the former Bukhara Khan. country’s boundaries.In short, the southern army that killed the Ottoman Empire could not concentrate on attacking Lahore at all.

And there is another point, Li Laiheng is a ruthless person, he hates betrayal the most.Therefore, he is not relentless at all for those tribes who have defected to the tribe because of the power of the Ottoman Empire, and will kill these tribes.

The way back was like this, so the Ottoman Empire's Southern Route Army had to dispatch a large number of soldiers to chase and intercept Li Laiheng's troops.

However, Li Laiheng's troops were the most elite cavalry troops on the side of the Ming army, and they were the headquarters of the Ming army left behind.If there were fewer cavalry from the Ottoman Empire, or only those vassal cavalry, such as those miscellaneous troops, or the Crimean cavalry, as long as there was not a large difference in troop strength, Li Laiheng's troops would not be able to stay at all.

Therefore, on the side of the Southern Route Army of the Ottoman Empire, it is no longer in a stalemate with the Ming Army in the area north of Lahore.

On the side of the Persian Empire, Abbas II was more cunning. He advanced eastward, and he was also so strong that when he encountered resistance, he stopped advancing eastward and turned north instead.

His move was a bit beyond Li Dingguo's expectation.Because when Abbas II came like this, it was tantamount to parting ways with the fleet at sea.

At this time, the military strength of the Persian Empire was about 3.And Li Dingguo's troops were the smallest among all the armies of the Ming Dynasty, and the miscellaneous army was only about [-].

If Li Dingguo leads the troops to catch up, without the geographical advantage, the Persian army is likely to turn around and kill a carbine.If you don't follow up, the Persian army will really have to fight north, and the target is likely to be Delhi.

what to do?A difficult problem was placed in front of Li Dingguo.
