"This city is not easy to deal with!" The marching staff said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Fahad Pasha said boredly.

The two looked at Xiongcheng speechlessly, the heat rising in the sun, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt like it was in the clouds. The Chinese officers and soldiers on it were well-equipped with helmets and armor. Compared with the Ottoman army in various costumes, the Chinese The army is as mighty as the army of the gods!

The Ottoman army, except for the Imperial Guards and some of the armies that received the imperial food, had more formal equipment. The rest of the army was often "self-provided ordnance". There were troops from various tribes, speaking various languages, and worshiping different religions. Most of them are Greens, but there are also Christian troops with crosses, Persians who worship Zoroastrians, and Jews with small round hats on their heads!

The territories of the Ottoman Empire are vast, with countless nations under its jurisdiction. When troops are dispatched, all nations will be able to do so, without exception.

The township soldiers from the cities are not bad, at least they have a bugle; some of them are real citizens, "ten households send one soldier" or even in some places, "five households send one soldier." The organization is drawn to the battlefield.

Although the source of troops is complicated, the veterans are calm and the recruits are excited, and the atmosphere gradually rises.

After all, the Ottoman Empire is still very strong!

Its territory has not been lost, its rule is stable, and the red hair fan is hanging in Europe, and the red hair fan is on the defensive!

Everyone is still full of confidence in the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire is an agricultural country. The characteristic of the agricultural country is that it is not rich. The people are generally poor in the land and participate in wars. There are dangers, but there are also opportunities!

If they defeat the enemy and take down the city, these tribal army and village soldiers may have a chance to share a piece of the pie, and the spoils they get will belong to them.

The simple mind of the soldiers is that they don't care about tomorrow's affairs today, but their Pasha is distressed: "How can we take down this heroic city?"

The two men frantically thought about ways,

"Ding!" He called them up and listened to the sound. It was the army digging the trench and the **** hitting the stone.

The Ottoman army continued to arrive. Except for some troops and food supplies stationed in the old city of Cairo, the rest of the troops were close to the city.

After the soldiers replied from the initial shock, they did what they should do and proceeded step by step.

First, a long enclosure was built, which was to dig trenches around the city to constrain the city and prevent them from opening the city gates and rushing toward the army at will.

In some places, earth walls and suspension bridges were built, and then launch positions were established. The Turks also used cannons, and some cannons were already installed in place.

The two stopped looking, and went straight back to camp, followed by a team of guards.

On the way, Ghazi reported: "As per Pasha's instructions, his subordinates have asked Damascus to bring up 50,000 people there, so that the total strength of our army will reach 270,000, and they have also asked to continue the deployment! "

"Very good!" Farhad Pasha nodded.

If you encounter difficulties, report to your superiors that if resources are necessary, if you give it, you will increase your chances of winning. If you don't give it, you can use it to shirk responsibility.

This method is exactly what the officialdom old fritters do.

"Our siege equipment is under construction. The previous considerations, the number of artillery and ammunition, may not be able to suppress the opponent's firepower. Apart from requesting more artillery and ammunition from Istanbul, do you think you want to resume manufacturing trebuchets?" Gazi asked.

Since the Ottoman Empire has tasted the sweetness of cannons, it has continued to forge cannons for its own use. For this battle, Farhad Pasha also prepared a full 200 large-caliber artillery, which is threatening to attack any European city. Unexpectedly, the opponent's city was built so outrageously!

"Build it, build everything that works and can be used!" Fahad Pasha said helplessly.

He brought some military expenses. He didn't want to save it. If he couldn't attack, his life would be gone. What do you keep with the money!

He instructed Gazi to hurry up to build more trebuchets, ladders, carts, well fences, shields and other siege equipment. The guest Qing Abd immediately rushed back to Damascus to supervise the office. There is a limited time and it must be completed!

At this moment, Farhad Pasha is grateful that although we have lost Cairo, fortunately we still have Damascus!

The city of Damascus is known as a garden on earth, a paradise on earth!

With a large population and developed socio-economic development, it is a jewel under the Ottoman Empire.

The military resources needed by Farhad Pasha are located here and are made by Damascus craftsmen.

The older the Fahad Pasha people, the more shameless they were. Abd went there to make a deposit first, and owed supplies to him.

If he wins, the Sudan will repay it if he is happy. If he loses the war, he will repay it if he is not happy. It doesn’t matter to Farhad Pasha anyway.

He talked with Gazi, fought his horse and left, while on the wall of Cairo New City, the officers and soldiers looked relaxed and did not take the enemies under the city seriously!

With confidence in the leader!

The musket in hand, the cannon by his side and Jiancheng under his feet!

And the military resources piled up like a mountain in the city!

The southeastern state has money, and their leaders will not let his soldiers suffer. In the warehouse in the city, they even prepared 80,000 snacks for a year!

Not to mention the staple food. The rice noodles and dried meat can be eaten for two years. Snacks --- toffee or nougat, peanut candies, sweet potatoes, etc. are distributed every day ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ soldiers in Chengtou Eating and chewing snacks and drinking tea, but unfortunately there is no stool to sit on. Nowadays, the defense of the city also learns from naval warships, and does not put stools!

The officers had to stand for deportment, the soldiers were not so particular and sat on the ground.

Of course a mighty general standing in front of them is indispensable!

The chief general of Cairo New City and the commander of the Fourth Army of the Southeast Army, Li Laiheng put down the binoculars in his hand and waved the flag to Hao: "That person just now should be the enemy's chief general Fahad Pasha!"

Hao Yaoqi said strangely: "How do you know?"

"Look at the banner!" Li Laiheng is a handsome talent and has done enough homework against the enemy. He said: "That man's banner is three pinches of pony tails!"

Pasha is a high-ranking military official of the Ottoman Empire. They hold the banner with horse tails. They are divided into three levels. They are three pinches, two pinches or one pinch. It is the tradition of Turkic-Mongolia!

In wartime, the holders will be displayed on their military flags to demonstrate their military power. Only the Sultan can hold four pinches of horsetails, and Captan Pasha is the commander of the Ottoman naval fleet, and he wears two pinches of horsetails.

Farhad Pasha has been fighting in Europe, he is very senior and also has two pinches of ponytails.

This time the counterattack against Egypt is of great importance, and Sudan deliberately gave him a pinch of ponytails to control the army.

Hao Yaoqi is a general. He didn't notice the situation just now. He even despised him because the other party was old. It is the same now. He said under his finger: "The Turk's movements are too slow!"

"You said, will they tell us that when the siege is halfway through, everyone will stop and let them pray before they fight?" Hao Yaoqi said a joke and couldn't help laughing!

The enemy company outside the city is more than ten miles away, and the Southeast Army doesn't take them seriously!
