The Ottomans marched much slower than Chitard thought.

The 60,000 army, including a large number of cavalry, was consumed hugely along the way. Although it was constantly supplying it by its vassals Bulgaria, Wallachia and Moldova, the speed was obviously not fast.

There is another factor.

When the Transnistrian River reaches the city of Transnistria (Tennistrivsk in later generations), it enters the depression. Further forward is the vast and vast Transnistrian Bay.

Since the Ottomans' Black Sea maritime power was almost wiped out by the Truchens at this time, they could not use ships to transport the army to Odessa at full speed, and could only detour Moldova.

The closest bridge to Transniest Bay is Binjeri. Here is a castle built by the Ottomans hundreds of years ago, which is still in their hands. The opposite of Binjeri is Chittad shortly after

Tiraspool, who met Nicholas before!

Although Ottoman Vizier Rajeep did not understand military affairs, he also knew that the Truchen army in Odessa could not be gathered more and more, so he asked the German mercenary general Fred from Bavaria to lead 30,000 European steps.

The army asked the Sultan's son-in-law, the Egyptian Mamuruk, Mustafa, to take one step forward with 10,000 Tatar cavalry.

Although this order was issued, the problem arises again.

Although Fred was a lieutenant general who was enthroned by the Sultan, he was able to command the ten thousand bankrupt Christians in Europe under his command.

Another 10,000 generals of the Albanian Islamic people, Hocha, and 10,000 generals of the Kosovo Islamic people, Rudovic are all local hereditary lords, and obviously they won't listen to him.

Also, the Tatar cavalry general Mustafa is the son-in-law of the Sultan and has also worked as Pasha in Tunisia. He has 10,000 elite Tatar cavalrymen in North Africa, the Middle East and the Black Sea areas, and obviously he will not listen to him.

For Fred, all this is not a problem. According to the tradition of European mercenaries at this time, defeating the war will naturally have an impact on his reputation. However, if he made the correct suggestions before the war, the commander-in-chief did not adopt them.

, Then even if you lose your battle, you can still receive a commission.

So, when the forty thousand troops finally arrived at Binjeri on the right bank of the Transnistria as the autumn approached, Mustafa, the leader of the Tatar cavalry, spoke.

"General"

After the fall of the Mamulik dynasty, the Mamulik nobles, mainly Turks, did not disappear. All the Ottoman sultans adopted the strategy of pulling one faction to attack another faction.

Among the remaining Mamulik nobles, there are roughly divided into two factions, one is a descendant of the Western Turks, who claim to be "pure Guram Knights" and have always dominated the Mamulik dynasty.

power.

Another faction is somewhat similar to the Ottoman Empire, Jenicheri, and was the Turkic nobles who gradually flourished later, but most of them came from the Turks near the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.

In terms of its status and dignity, it is naturally the descendants of the Western Turks who have the advantage, but in terms of real combat power, it is obviously a new force - because most of them claim to be Ugus, the Uguss are the advantage.

Mustafa is naturally the representative of the Western Turks. Of course, they do not know what kind of Western Turks they are. They all call themselves Qinzha people. In fact, they are all elite soldiers from the Western Turks army merged on the Kazakh prairie.

Some other tribes formed.

Like the Chinese emperor, Sudan will adopt marriage to restrain the major tribal forces in China.

Mustafa is 33 years old this year. He has three thousand cavalrymen all from the nobles of Chincha Mamuliuk, and they are actually the Sipasi cavalry of Egypt.

Although there are several generals left with seven thousand, they basically obey one person's order.

Qinjis, a descendant from the Turkic nobles of Ugus.

Qinjis's family was a powerful tool for the Ottoman Empire to deal with African black tribes, because although their status was not as good as that of the Qincha nobles, they did not care about the slaves and farms they distributed to them, and they preferred to fight everywhere.

At this time, the only threat to the Ottoman Empire was naturally the predecessor of Ethiopia, supported by the Kingdom of Portugal.

The Qingis family often brought a small number of cavalry into the Sultanate of Arda, then plundered the blacks there, and lured the Fenji and Fuer under the control of the Ottomans to continue to relate to the Ardas.

Fight to make a profit from it.

In this way, the Qinjis family became the leader of the tribe with the strongest combat effectiveness among the nobles left by the Mamuliuk Dynasty. Unlike the Qincha nobles, they were already addicted to a large number of slaves and generous agricultural products, and enjoyed goods, but mainly rely on robbery.

Tribal representatives who plunder to maintain wealth and prestige.

For such a family, the Ottoman Sultan obviously loves and hates them. They know the strength of the Mamuliuks. In order not to make them bigger, they will not let a certain Ugus family have an advantage for a long time, but

Kill one group every once in a while and support another group.

It's like they're dealing with the Crimean Peninsula.

When fighting against Persians and Russians, they also used the Ugus cavalry to keep them consumed.

For the Qincha nobles who had already declined, they were happy to see their decline, but they had always allowed them to hold high positions such as Pasha and the Supreme Court.

Qinjis (actually, the Mongolian Tengjis means similar to Genghis. Some people say that Mongolian "Genghis" comes from Turkic words in turn, meaning "extremely terrifying and robust") is the Ukraine, which is currently supported by the Sudan.

Representative of Gusmamulik.

Qin Jis was only twenty-five years old in a few years, and his men also had 3,000 people who completely retained the costumes and fighting styles of the first batch of Mamuliuk cavalry. They liked to wear armor, were good at riding and shooting and close combat, and could

Flexible use of heavy cavalry and light cavalry marshals.

Qin Jis is a handsome young man. Although he has a big beard, he has thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall nose, and fair skin. He is very similar to those handsome and elegant Arab princes in later generations.

Not long ago, Qin Jis declined the suggestion of becoming a sultan's son-in-law. This would definitely be unimaginable if it were before, because before, only a very small number of Ugus Mamuliuk nobles could become the sultan's son-in-law, and once they became

With the Sultan's son-in-law, he is very likely to become Pasha, one of Algiers, Tunisia and Egypt.

Pasha, that is a high-ranking official who holds the power of tax collection. As long as you work for five years, your life will be enough. Only those who have been Pasha can join the Sudanese central government to serve as the Great Vizier, Vizier and the Central Committee.

Commander of the Army.

These talents have the potential to become the true hereditary nobles of the Ottoman Empire, just like the Kopruli family.

The old Copruil first became Albanian Pasha and finally became Great Vizier, and then his family still influenced the empire a hundred years later.

Don't Qin Jis know all this?

But Qin Jis refused on the grounds that he already had four wives - of course this is a ridiculous reason. For the upper class of Islamic Buddhism, as long as the family background is permitted, the number of wives and concubines they have is not fixed.

The sultan has a huge harem no less than the Eastern dynasty.

And the nominal leader of the 40,000 army, the Bavarian Fred is a 40-year-old veteran, and he knows all this.

So, when Mustafa suddenly came to him on his own initiative, he understood his purpose.

"Oh?"

Mustafa obviously disagreed with the appointment of Europeans who believed in Christianity as commander of the front army of Sudan. Therefore, when he looked at Fred, although he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide a trace of faintness in his eyes.

Contempt.

"Can't be delayed any more. According to the information provided by the Bujaknogae people, Qitad transferred another division from the local area. If they continued to dispatch, the Truchen army near Odessa would have surpassed the situation.

More and more!”

"What then?"

Fred, who was born in Bavaria and joined the French army as a mercenary general to confront the Prussian army, naturally knew that at this time, it was not the Poles who defeated the Russian and Austrian coalition near Berlin.

, but the Truchens dressed as Poles have gradually been known.

So, facing such a strong enemy, although there were 60,000 people on his side, the European veteran Fred obviously knew the real combat power of these 60,000 people, except for the 10,000 Tatar cavalry and 10,000 Jenicheri.

, The rest can only barely be called "soldier".

After he took over the ten thousand bankrupt Christians he directly under the jurisdiction, he only trained for half a year. After half a year, God knows what combat effectiveness is. As for the Albanians and Kosovans, they all barely put together with their firm beliefs.

They estimate that even the jihadists raised by Sudan in Istanbul are not as good as those raised by the jihadists, and the size of the jihadists is also training every now and then.

"General"

Mustafa tried hard to see his true thoughts from Fred's eyes, but unfortunately, as a veteran who served France's King Louis XV and Prussian King Frederick the Great, he was best at

Obviously not fighting, but protecting oneself.

Of course, his ability is still above the Ottomans.

"The Truchens did not think of crossing the Transniest River nowadays, but wanted to use the three fortresses in Odessa to attract all our troops to the vicinity, and then engage in battle. They had powerful firearms, and after using the fortress to consume us,

Go out for a decisive battle again”

"Since that's the case, Binjeri's bridge is very important. If they wake up and send people to capture the bridge, it will be a bad idea."

"So, I am going to take a step forward and lead people to the city of Tiraspool. This is the territory of Nicholas, the Marquis of Moldova, which is loyal to our country, and it is easy to get supplies. I have too many people, and I will all stop at Binjeri to consume it.

Too big”

"I agree"

Fred agreed without any hesitation.

Just when Mustafa and Fred were discussing military affairs, Rajp's 10,000 Sipasi cavalry and 10,000 Yenicheri were still there and Bunare (later Tatar Buna)
