The first thousand three hundred and forty-seven chapters of the imperial expedition road (twelve)
The Emperor Zhang Ping'an of the Chinese Empire discovered the unusual aspects of the enemy's strategy from the Ottoman army's abnormal counterattack against the Chinese army's crossing forces. Emperor Zhang Ping'an believed that the battlefields that the Ottoman army can rely on now are nothing more than the Bosphorus Strait, the Dardanelles Strait and the Marmara Sea. According to the intelligence department's torture and arresting prisoners, the Ottomans hit the main fleet in the Marmara Sea and the Black Sea.
Among them, there are the largest number of sailing fleets stationed in Istanbul. It is said that after the Ottoman fleet crossed the sea in the second battle camp of the Chinese army, it should send a fleet to cut off the rear of the Chinese army's vanguard. The battle has been fought for almost a day but still no Ottoman fleet has been seen. This shows that the Ottoman commander Mehomet IV Sultan was not planning to completely annihilate the main force of the Chinese army.
Emperor Zhang Ping'an's sense of smell has always been relatively sensitive on the battlefield. Zhang Ping'an saw a flaw in the trap set by Ottoman commander Mei Holmet IV. This is because both sides of the battle did not understand the details of the other commander. Whoever has rich experience in the battlefield will be better able to win the lead. Emperor Zhang Ping'an had to first ensure the safety of the two battle barracks on the landing field. He ordered the commander of the artillery battalion, Yang Meimei, to strengthen the number of artillery arrays that had been preset in the southern section of the Bosphorus. At the same time, Emperor Zhang Ping'an also ordered the military craftsmen to continue to build iron chains that block the strait, and he wanted to build two more iron chain obstacles in the southern section of the landing field. The order issued by Emperor Zhang Ping'an made Chief of Staff Gu Xin a little confused. He asked Emperor Zhang Ping'an softly: "Master, what are you going to do? You have strengthened the iron chain light to the south. What if the Ottoman ships in the Black Sea come down?"
"Oh, I have miscalculated a little! The Ottoman Mehomet IV Sultan is not a simple figure, and he has set up a maze for us on the other side. I just said that the Ottoman counterattack was so loose, and it turned out to be a pit for our Chinese army! Hahaha! They don't look at who the opponent is. I have won every battle since the battle. It's not because I have outstanding plans. How can ordinary people do it..." Emperor Zhang Ping'an's boastful problem has not been changed for many years. Once he grasps the enemy's flaws, he will praise him.
Although Chief of Staff Gu Xin still did not understand what kind of trap Emperor Zhang Ping'an discovered, one thing is certain, that is, Emperor Zhang Ping'an had already figured out a solution to it. Chief of Staff Gu Xin can be said to be the person who knows Zhang Ping'an's personality best in the empire. The two sides have condensed friendship beyond the relationship between the monarch and the ministers in decades of interaction. Without outsiders, the two of them were more like friends communicating. Soon, the guards served dinner, and the two drove away the staff of the command post and held secret discussions at the dinner table. Without naval warships, the Chinese army could only use strategies to lure the Ottoman fleet to attack the Chinese military ration road. For this purpose, the Chinese army had previously built a large baggage camp in the east coast of the Marmara Sea, a place called Yingzui Beach. From the outside, there was no abnormality in the selection of the large baggage camp.
The camp must be close to the water source. Since you want to dig a pit, you must make the camp realistic. The area is about twenty miles away from the coast, and the flat terrain is vast and far away on the sea surface. According to the sea conditions investigated by the navy's staff, the beach here is very suitable for sea boats to approach. During the confrontation between the Chinese army and the Ottoman army in the two straits, the Ottoman fleet appeared on the sea surface six times, each staying for more than one day. There were two nights of Ottoman sailing ships to send scouts to investigate, and the Chinese army was here
It was discovered and driven away before dawn. Before building this trap camp, the Chinese army built artillery positions four miles southwest of the country. The artillery positions were selected at a rocky hill, where uneven piles of stones could be seen everywhere. The artillery bunker hidden here would not be easy to discover without getting close to it. The hidden artillery formation created by the Chinese army was written by Gu Xin, the chief of staff of the Chinese army. Because all the staff of the Chinese army felt that the place name given by the Ottomans was very difficult to pronounce, they called this place Shazitan.
The artillery formation personally selected by Chief of Staff Gu Xin still put in some effort. Although the west side of the Yingzui Beach camp was conducive to landing, there were sixteen reefs opposite the sea opposite Sand Beach. According to Chief of Staff Gu Xin's speculation, the Ottoman fleet familiar with the Marmara sea conditions would not pay attention to this rocky beach. Since the pit had been dug, Chief of Staff Gu Xin transferred 200 artillery pieces from Yang Wei's troops from the Southern Cluster Artillery Battalion into an ambush according to the emperor's will. In fact, Chief of Staff Gu Xin, like Emperor Zhang Ping'an, he also wanted to transfer Yang's sister to the
A familiar artillery battalion participated in the ambush. Unfortunately, the main force of the Chinese army was restrained in the Bosphorus Strait, and Yang Meimei's artillery battalion could not be drawn at all. The war barracks that covered the artillery battalion were Tianxiong camp led by the commander Luo Tian. Fishing requires enough patience. Tianxiong camp, which has always been the reserve team, set up a net of heaven and earth here to wait for the Ottomans to crash in. Since it was fishing, it was impossible to see results immediately. Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Chinese army, began to plan a larger chess game at this time.
After the Chinese army invaded the hinterland of the Ottoman Empire, only one combat barracks of Tian Peng's mountain troops were guarding the northern flank. According to the strong strength of the Chinese army, more than 20,000 combat soldiers with rich combat experience in Tian Peng's troops could withstand 100,000 enemy troops. They were afraid of accidents on the battlefield. If the country of Ross attacked with its national strength, it would inevitably lead to loopholes in the defense range of Tian Peng's war barracks. When Emperor Zhang Ping'an guessed that the Ross army might appear on the battlefield, he always liked to prepare for the future and regarded this crisis as a fighter, hoping that
The war eliminated two enemy troops. Originally, the Chinese Empire's western expedition was to wipe out two potential enemies that threatened the empire. If the Ottoman Empire had not stood in front, Emperor Zhang Ping'an would have wanted to destroy the country of Ross first. Zhang Ping'an judged that Swedish king Carl XI suffered too much losses in the battle in Denmark, and even if he was stupid, he would not fight against the country of Ross for his allies. Based on the incomplete spy, Zhang Ping'an guessed that the Ross people had made up their minds to take the initiative and Zhang Ping'an was ready to fight against the enemy.
With years of experience in the war, the Emperor Zhang Ping'an of the Chinese Empire was able to roughly infer the route of the Ross people's march. During the decisive battle in the Wutuzu Grassland, the Ross people exposed that their combat was as inseparable from baggage and ammunition as the Chinese army. This combat characteristic of the Ross people also indicates that their army is unlikely to jump into thousands of miles to attack the hinterland of the Chinese Empire. In this way, the target of the Ross army's attack could only be the northern flank of the Chinese army. In the past few days, the Emperor Zhang Ping'an and Chief of Staff Gu Xin
After discussion, only Zhang Li's Eagle Camp and the Artillery Battalion Yang Wei's troops were left in the front direction of the Dardanellar Strait, and Huang Feihong and Dong Heliang's troops were stationed behind the Eagle Battalion. As for the front of the Bosphorus, the Chinese army still maintained a stance to cross the sea to fight, which made the Ottomans think that the Chinese army did not notice the strategic intentions of the Ross people, and then confused the enemy to attack according to the established intentions. For this reason, in addition to Huang Zhi's troops and Fu Ruige's troops who had crossed the sea, the Chinese army also left Yang's artillery Battalion on the front line.
The four battalions of the personal barracks stayed in the Bosphorus Strait and made a move to cross the sea at any time to attract the attention of the Ottomans. The Yan Cheng's troops and Zhao Guangming's troops in the personal barracks were quietly transferred to the east to join the mountain troops of Tian Peng's troops who were stationed here. The chief of staff Gu Xin stayed on the front line of the Bosphorus Strait and was fully responsible for commanding the war in the area. Emperor Zhang Ping'an, accompanied by the guards battalion, went east to preside over the war against the Ross people. Originally, the main force of the Yangwei artillery battalion was in the Marmara Sea.
The east is planning to ambush the Ottoman Marmara fleet, and in the future, the Yangwei artillery camp of the Ross army will naturally become the main force of Chinese artillery. Zhang Ping'an once saw the intelligence in the direction of the Ross people. Zhang Ping'an did not know about the person, but Peter Alexeevich, the son of Fedor Alexeevich, attracted Zhang Ping'an's attention. Others may not know who this hairy child is, but Zhang Ping'an, the birdman who traveled through time, knew Peter's background.
From the spy, we learned that Peter Alexeyevich is only fifteen years old this year, and it is said that he is extremely smart and has great potential for command. According to Zhang Ping'an's understanding, this Peter is very likely to be the heroic and talented and magnificent hero of the Ross Kingdom. I remember that Zhang Ping'an was only eleven years old when he pulled his team. In just a few decades, Zhang Ping'an became the emperor of the Chinese Empire, and his subordinates were thousands of miles of troops. Since a hero appeared in the Kingdom of Ross, Zhang Ping'an naturally would not miss this opportunity to destroy potential opponents. It was precisely the appearance of Peter Alexeyevich that the emperor of the Chinese Empire Zhang Ping'an would come out personally.
Horses faced Ross' army. For this war, the Chinese army mobilized more than 200,000 troops and more than 400 artillery pieces. As for other supplies, they were even more inclined toward this battle. Only when the Chinese army arrived at the natural barriers of Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, Emperor Zhang Ping'an realized that there was no chance of winning in this battle without the participation of the navy. A few months ago, a vanguard fleet of the Chinese army went around the Cape of Good Hope to western Africa. It was said that there was no news for such a long time. Facing the Ottoman naval raiding in the Marmara Sea and the Black Sea, the Chinese army just wanted to harass the rear of the Ottoman army.
The Thais had fleets, but the Chinese army had already had a quarrel with the Spanish, the overlord of the Thais, and their relationship with the Portuguese was also very strong. The Dutch coachman hated the Chinese Empire to the core. How could Emperor Zhang Ping'an dare to take the lives of the Chinese soldiers for risking these potential enemies? Shortly after the Chinese army secretly mobilized the army to move eastward, the Kurdish tribe nomadic in the north of the Kula River informed Tian Peng's tribe that he saw the Ross cavalry in armor in the Caucasus mountains. Originally, Tian Peng's tribe had just received it.
