In any war between countries, some people will betray their country for money and for profit.

But for the Jews who were in war, they never felt that betraying the country they gave birth to was a sin. Now, in their opinion, this betrayal is taken for granted, after all, those countries never regarded them as their own countries.

Among those countries, they are always second-class citizens. Even in the Ottomans, the same is true.

"Maybe the Sultan had saved us when the Spaniards expelled us, but they also forced us to change our faith. Here, we are just inferior people..."

Recalling what his father said, Sharon sighed in his heart.

Perhaps this is the sorrow of the Jews. No country has ever regarded Jews as citizens of their country, and they have never regarded those countries as their country.

For the Jews, where is their country?

Israel!

For more than a thousand years, they have been looking forward to being able to return to that land and be able to re-owned a country belonging to Israel, but this seems impossible.

Because no country has ever supported them, without the knowledge of those countries, their dream of rebuilding Israel is almost zero.

"If possible, we can open up our own colony in the New World! Why do we have to accept the help of the Chinese?"

Salon thought to himself.

But he quickly dispelled the idea, and he knew better than anyone that for the Jews, they would never waste money on such an illusory business.

But now with the endorsement of the Chinese, all Jews will take the initiative to invest in this cause.

For Jews, everything is realistic. Engaging in overseas colonial adventures is full of too many uncertainties, which may even waste their investments, but with the endorsement of the Chinese, they will definitely be able to own a country!

"At least the Chinese are strong enough."

The reason for this idea was that when he passed through the Chinese defense line, he saw the Chinese soldiers with his own eyes. Although Sharon was not a soldier, he could still tell what elites were. After all, he had been dealing with the army for many years and had been doing business for many years.

After crossing the Chinese defense line that afternoon, Sharon finally sent the information to the Chinese. The officer who received the information expressed his gratitude for his arrival. After receiving his information, the officer said specifically.

"You're a businessman, aren't you?"

"Yes, sir."

Salon answered truthfully.

"Then you are willing to do some business here, such as helping us buy some supplies, especially some of the supplies we need, like pork. Now the brothers are thinking about eating pork all day long. Maybe you can do this business here."

The intelligence officer complained while talking.

"This place is really, no one raises pigs, but the pork is fragrant! Brothers, people eat beef and mutton all day long. There are always times when they are tired of eating, but the pork is different. They always can't eat enough. You are a local, and you must know about it and will definitely help us acquire enough pork. If you are willing to do this business, I can introduce you to the qualifier."

The intelligence officer took the initiative to speak.

"Don't worry, we all use gold and silver coins to pay the bill. The reason we want to introduce this business to you is because Daming will never treat anyone who provides us with help."

"Thank you very much. I can give it a try"

Jews also do not eat pork, but of course they are not opposed to business.

In fact, at the beginning, Sharon did not intend to do this business, not because of pork, but because he also wanted to help his father, but another sentence from the intelligence official moved him.

"When the Chinese defeat the Turks, there will definitely be a lot of spoils. If you take advantage of this time to establish a good relationship with the Chinese, you may be able to buy cheap spoils from them when the war is over."

For businessmen, they can always see some business opportunities keenly. Salon is such a businessman.

While Sharon was joining the Chinese side as a military supplier who was supplying supplies to the Chinese army, the Ming army and the Turks were making final preparations for the upcoming battle.

In history books, this battle in Istanbul is destined to be very special!

It is not just because of the epoch-making significance of this battle, but not just because this war completely changed the form of war and opened the door to the era of line tactics and strait tactics.

After all, military strategists regard this battle as textbooks to study and study repeatedly and conduct military chess performances repeatedly, which is nothing more than proving that this is a military change.

In fact, the war model began a long time ago on the battlefield in Liaodong, and technological progress led to military changes.

From the initial cylindrical bullet with spiral lines on the side of the pre-engraved groove, to the wooden support flowering bullet, and to the later appearance of the bolt expansion rifled rifled bullet, the war was completely changed, but it was just a block-like formation. Especially with the introduction of smoothbore flintlock rifles and cylindrical bullets, the accuracy range of the flintlock rifle exceeded 120 meters. The large square formation was completely eliminated, and while the long spear and the cobs were completely eliminated, the horizontal formation became popular in Europe.

In fact, this process was completely a change brought about by the Ming Dynasty. With the introduction of the rifled flintlock rifle and the plug-in expansion bullet, the range of the flintlock rifle exceeded 500 meters, and the real change began. Due to the limitation of processing technology, European countries, including the Turks, were unable to provide the army with enough rifled flintlock rifles, and smoothbore flintlock rifles were still the mainstream.

But one thing that is certain is that the old era has been over.

However, with its advanced steam machine tools and chemical technology, the Ming Dynasty not only popularized rifled firing guns, but also used rifled guns on a large scale, with an effective range of more than one thousand meters. This means that the muskets in the hands of the Ming infantry not only pose a great threat to soldiers, but are even enough to pose a fatal threat to artillery!

It was precisely with the advanced weapons in hand that Zhu Heyu and Li Dingguo and others decided to take the initiative, and the terrain of this area was also beneficial to them.

The mountains and lakes in the north have only about twenty miles of plains in front of them. Although the undulating plains limit their vision, they can build multiple layers of defense and form a defensive depth of several miles.

Although the Ming army had less than 50,000 troops, it was divided into multiple clusters. Relying on multiple defense lines and internal strongholds, it formed multiple deep defenses that were difficult to break through.

A series of field fortifications seem to be less perfect than the bastion, but they greatly enhance the combat capabilities of infantry in defensive operations. Relying on these fortifications and the nearly perfect thirteen-type rear-mounted rifle, the infantry can withstand the attack of the Ottoman army by relying on them.

On July 18, 1667, the main force of the Ottoman army had arrived before the Ming army's front between Kartar and Pendyk.

Before this, the Tatar cavalry from Crimea had already fought with the Ming army's cavalry. The battle between the two sides was not fierce, but the Tatar cavalry suffered a great loss. Although the Ming army had not many cavalry, they were holding six-shot revolver guns. The powerful firepower caused these muskets and bows and archers to suffer a great loss. After several encounters and losses of thousands of people, the Tatar cavalry, which was originally extremely rampant, immediately retreated back to their positions.

Almost at the same time, Ahmed Koprulu, Kuchukpasha, Alipasha and others checked the positions of the Chinese under the escort of the Guards.

However, they did not dare to get too close, for fear of being dealt with by the other party's hunting soldiers!

In fact, although there has not been a large-scale battle in the past few days, the hunters on both sides have already fought.

Due to the inability to popularize rifles, European countries have chosen to set up hunters almost at the same time. These infantry are equipped with expensive rifles at all costs. The flintlock rifles have a long range and high accuracy, and can effectively kill the enemy at a long distance.

On the European battlefield, these hunters who used rifled guns and bobs were even called mobile cannons. Turkey also set up hunters, and their hunters were equipped with famous brands from the Jinling Arsenal of the Ming Dynasty. Even the bullets were imported from the original shipment. This kind of civilian long-barrel rifle, except for the use of flintlock machines, was no different from the military front-mounted smoothbore rifle. In the past two days, the hunters from both sides brought certain damage to the other party.

As the Great Vizier, Ahmed and Pasha, of course, have to avoid a certain distance. After all, neither of them wants to go to heaven to enjoy the seventy-two virgins. Their prosperity in the world... is no worse than heaven!

Although the distance is very long, with the well-made "Phoenix Telescope", Ahmed and others were able to clearly observe the deployment of the Chinese defense line.

The Chinese trenches seem to have a low wall, and there are some earthen cage strongholds near the low walls.

"They should be their cannons in those cage strongholds."

Observing the Chinese defense line, Ahmed said to the Pashas around him.

"It's indeed a cannon, you can vaguely see the cannon barrel, but this is just the first line of defense for the Chinese. Sir, look at the back of the stronghold, you can vaguely see some strongholds. They have set up several lines of defense."

Ali Pasha said.

Even if it is the most exquisite Phoenix Telescope, they cannot see the information in the deep hinterland. They don’t know what is behind the first two lines of defense. But I think it shouldn’t be a big deal.

"Sir, it seems we can only attack from the front!"

Pointing to the Chinese defense line, Ali Pasha said.

"Look at the two wings of the Chinese are protected by the sea and mountains, one side is the sea and the other side is the mountains. We can't swim over the sea, and the other side is the mountains, and it seems that we can't climb over the other side of the mountain, at least the cavalry can't climb over. Moreover, the Chinese have also deployed defense lines on the mountain, and there is no possibility of detour. We can only break through from the front..."

"It's no big deal, Ali Pasha, you see that the Chinese people have set up at least five or six defense lines, and their defense lines are so wide, which will definitely lead to their deployment of troops being very dispersed. It will not be very difficult to break through their defense lines. Besides, it is just a trench and a low wall, which is much simpler than attacking fortresses and cities!"

What Kuchuck is telling the truth is that field battles are indeed simpler than siege. Since they can conquer so many cities, they can conquer this line of defense... it can't be simpler!

"Ali, we only need to use infantry to tear open the Chinese defense line, and leave the rest to the cavalry, cavalry!"

Kuchuck said proudly.

"We have the best cavalry in the world. Whether it is the Tatar cavalry or the Hippasi cavalry, they have always been a nightmare for pagans on the battlefield!"

The Ottoman indeed has the best cavalry of this era. The Crimean Tatar cavalry is an irreplaceable combat partner of the Ottoman Imperial Guards. They are hard-working and arduous, and their horses and movement speeds are 10 times that of normal army. They can easily swim across wide and fast rivers, and they can fight in both winter and summer. They can shoot 4 to 5 arrows in a few seconds at full speed, and they can shoot 4 to 5 arrows in just a few seconds. Even in this era when firearms are beginning to rise, their strength is still the same as that of the time. And they are in the process of

During Dorgon's "pseudo-Mongolian" contact, he began to use a large number of double-barrel flintlock rifles. As for the Hippasi cavalry, the Hippasi cavalry was the foundation of the rise of the Ottoman Empire. They were similar to European knights, but in a larger scale. In addition to fighting on their own, the Hippasi lords had to provide a certain number of auxiliary cavalry. The larger Hippasi even had more than twenty auxiliary cavalry.

These cavalry are undoubtedly the most outstanding cavalry of this era. They have always been the nightmare of Europeans. In the field, they have severely damaged the European army again and again. Now, in their opinion, with these huge cavalry, they are naturally able to severely damage the Chinese.

After all, their cavalry were almost invincible in field battles.

"As long as we break through the Chinese position, we can win this war and take back Istanbul."

Reclaim Istanbul!

Establish the prestige of the Ottoman Empire from a new era!

This is the reason why this battle was written in history, not because of military changes. But because this battle is directly related to the fate of an empire...

Of course, they would never use cavalry to hit the Chinese defense line. In addition to cavalry, they also had a large number of Hazaps, which are the so-called infantry.
