The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1137: Attack of Ihassan Pasha

In the next few days, Ihassan Pasha went down to the grassroots level, inspected the various armies, observed their situation, and encouraged the morale of the troops.

The morale of the troops is generally high!

The Chinese are not envious of this. Yan Changwu treats the troops generously, so the troops work hard, but if he runs out of money, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be a question mark!

The origins of the Ottoman Empire’s troops were varied and uneven, but even those rags, with only a machete on their bodies, and cavalry who were really horse thieves, were also roaring up from the sky: "Fight for the gods, destroy the infidels, holy ·war!"

Holy War is full of appeal, and the morale of the troops can be used!

Ihassan Pasha decided to march. He selected an army of 180,000, plus more than 60,000 civilians who carried heavy luggage, known as 300,000, and ordered the advance to Damascus.

Deputy Commander Humamu Pasha said anxiously: "Our army must not attack Jiancheng again!"

Ihassan Pasha did not say anything to death: "It depends on the situation!"

"Yeah!" Humamu Pasha knew that this should be the case. If Jiancheng was not attacked, how would he reply to Heshan? However, he said with many worries: "Let the enemy attack and we will defend against the city. Wouldn't it be more certain?"

There are many benefits to defending the city. Humamu Pasha did not want to take risks. Even if Ihassan Pasha left him in Apole to organize and train the army and be responsible for the supply of the army, it is relatively safe, but Humamu Pasha’s Fate is with Ihassan Pasha, and he can't help but think about it.

"Your esteemed colleague, you know that the holy city is in their hands!" Ihasan Pasha said.

The holy city of Jerusalem!

The Chinese have already occupied the city. Although they showed respect for religion and did not commit any crimes in autumn, Ihassan Pasha and Humamu Pasha, as devout people of the gods, would easily be ignored by political enemies. Attacks, no matter how great the credit is made, will be denied!

There is an open field outside the city of Apol. Today the troops vowed to march out with flags everywhere, swords and guns like forests.

"Bring it here!" Ihasan Pasha waved his hand.

In front of everyone, a group of sergeants dragged up a group of people. Among them, there were old and young, men and women, and there were more than fifty people. There were young girls and they were very beautiful. They were obviously from large families.

The military judge announced aloud that the guilt of those people was actually the family of Max Oud Pasha!

Sanjak Bay of Port Fao in the Persian Gulf surrendered to the Chinese and was dubbed "Pasha" by the Chinese. He readily accepted the false post. This pirated Pasha became a leading party and showed up everywhere. For the senior officials of the Ottoman Empire, slander the Ottoman Empire, and promote the Southeastern country, the impact is extremely bad!

A well-known truth-no one understands you better than yourself. In fact, this truth is also the same at the national level. No one understands the key points within a country better than a senior official of a country, and defeats a country from the outside. But the inside is not easy and thorough from the inside out.

Adopting this kind of strategy, supporting the opposition, and dealing specifically with the country's existing regime, in order to disturb the situation, is a great way to profit.

Max Oud Pasha knew the shady scenes of the Ottoman Empire, and let him speak for himself and expose it publicly, which was too harmful.

Wherever they went, the people heard that they were distracted by the Ottoman Empire. Many people followed him and left, and even joined his newly formed puppet army and became the new imperial alliance.

It can be called a bowl of noodles and a bowl of noodles. The Ottoman imperial court cannot take him for the time being, and can only imprison his relatives in Istanbul.

His family has some powers in Istanbul. For example, his wife’s patriarch is also a Pasha in the army. These people still want to save their own family. If Mesud Pasha doesn’t say anything, then everything is easy to say.

Mesoud Pasha was forced by the Chinese to make trouble and refused to repent, which completely angered the Istanbul side. Da Vizier Koplulu Pasha ordered the clan to be ransacked by Mesoud Pasha. In order to behave like this!

He sent more than fifty of his family from Istanbul to Apollo and announced their guilt. Ihasan Pasha personally ordered: "Cut!"

The executioners and their assistants pressed down the crying and struggling people vigorously, waved and dropped butcher knives in their hands, they worked together, the light of the knives flashed, and the heads of them were in different places, and blood was dripping everywhere!

Before the army went out, the head of the army was used as a memorial flag, so the three armies were awe-inspiring.

The troops set off first, with great momentum all the way, the southeast cavalry sentry quickly retreated, and the Ottoman army commander drove straight in and reached the city of Damascus.

Looking at the male city in the distance through the telescope, Ihassan Pasha was silent.

The double-layered city wall is as infallible!

Not every city has a double-layered city wall, but as long as there is one, it is very troublesome to attack.

Ihassan Pasha ordered the siege!

A long siege was built to build siege equipment. Due to lack of water, there was no moat outside Damascus, but the Chinese dug a deep and wide ditch around the city-it was a piece of cake for them, but it was a piece of cake for them. The attackers caused a lot of trouble.

Now there is no hostile force to fill the gully, only the army. Unlike the extravagant and indiscriminate bombing by Fahad Pasha when he opened the Luo, Ihassan Pasha runs his business on a small scale. He uses cannons, catapults, bows and arrows. Suppress the Chinese in front of them with muskets, and then the sergeants stepped forward to fill the trenches.

The defense of Damascus City was significantly improved. The defenders were able to fire their guns behind the battlements with cover, and the explosive cannons thrown by the trebuchets in the city exploded accurately in the trenches filled by the Ottoman army.

Regardless of the casualties, the army took three days to fill the trenches outside the city.

"Our loss is that more than 800 people were killed on the spot, and more than 3,000 were injured. The problem is those wounded..." Ihasan Pasha's deputy Imade frowned.

"What?" Ihasan Pasha asked hurriedly.

"Many of the injured are feverish~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The injury is not getting better!" Imade took out a small projectile and said: "This is a Chinese bullet. Our people call it poison. The warhead, I think it contains the power of the devil!"

A small amount of soft metal was rubbed out of the projectile. Although Ihassan Pasha did not understand the principle of the Dum bullet, he still took certain measures.

First of all, he strengthened his personal protection against the officers and soldiers in the battle.

Even the leather armor still has considerable protection against lead bullets. It will be penetrated at close range, but it will be able to resist it at a longer distance.

Leather armor is good to deal with the bullets and nails spattered by the explosion of black powder bombs. Unless it is unlucky enough next to the explosion point, it can't penetrate the leather armor.

There are also helmets. The Ottomans cover their heads, but in order to save their lives, they also wear helmets one after another.

The Ottoman army was unable to distribute protective equipment to everyone, but the siege officers and soldiers could still guarantee it.

Some armors were stripped from the dead and wounded, and then distributed to the siege soldiers later. They were often not too blood-stained and used them correctly.

There are also shields, bullet-proof cars, etc., all in hand. Besides, Ihassan Pasha has recruited doctors from various places to work in front of the army. He is very real. He chants the scriptures to protect the injured, and the doctors treat them. Zhang Yang didn't say much, but the death rate of the wounded was much lower than before.

What they did was not in vain. The morale of the Ottoman army was so strong that the city of Damascus was engulfed with smoke, the fire was blazing, the gunshots continued, and the arrows fell. There are cannonballs and bombs flying by with long smoke, and rockets flying in the sky, like swarms of fireflies.

There are offensive people everywhere, large areas and full-scale siege of the city, and thousands or even thousands of people can die without dying in one day?

If it consumes so much every day, the army will have bottomed out in a month!

However, the real killing of Ihasan Pasha was not the siege.
