When the news of the fall of Mashhad came, Nader Shah fell into despair.
Lost?
His lair was lost?
Just now he was secretly rejoicing that Ottoman's chaos would allow him to gain more victories.
At this time, he was already cold and desperate.
His first thought was...
Where should I go at this time?
His army is now in a very awkward place, between the borders of the Ottoman and Safavid dynasties. The cities he fought back some time ago, relying on his own strength, have long been destroyed by Suleiman's retainers.
They took over one by one. In other words, now Nashadir has become a lone army.
What is a lone army?
There is no logistical support, no support, and no supply lines.
Do you expect those Shia guys to provide you with supplies at this time?
conspiracy!
This is a conspiracy!
Now that Nashadir had reacted, his whole body began to tremble.
Where should he go now?
Moving forward, the Ottoman Empire? But he knew that although the Ottomans were in civil strife, once they calmed down, his own military strength was not enough to give them a drink.
go back?
But where should he go back? Tabriz? Just kidding, that guy Suleiman will never give him a chance to come over, and he may even shoot you behind your back.
And Mashhad has fallen into the hands of the Longyan people.
For a moment, Nashadir was dizzy.
"General!"
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
A group of generals spoke out one after another.
Nashadir took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.
supply!
The most important thing now is supply! Everyone knows that before the three armies move, food and grass will go first. But at this time, his supply line is cut off. For hundreds of thousands of troops, what they eat and drink is the most important thing. When
When he was guarding Mashhad, the Shias would naturally support him without hesitation, but what about now?
As the leader of the Sunni sect, Nader Shah knew that he was almost at the end of his rope.
But let these hundreds of thousands of brothers become an army of massacrers?
No.
He can't do it.
No matter what, the people are innocent.
Need to think of a way.
Need to think of a way.
Just on the third day.
A letter was delivered.
This letter comes from Longyan's East India.
When Nashadir got the letter, he almost tore it into pieces in anger.
But he still held back.
If it was just to show off the victor's attitude, there was really no need to send a letter in such a chaotic situation.
He opened the letter.
The content above is very simple.
Ling Chen pointed out a clear path for him in the letter.
Go south.
From Ankara, where he is now, he went all the way south, passed through Konya, took the sea route, and continued south.
Port Said.
The East India Company will provide Nashadir with sufficient supplies and help at sea.
