There are many towns and villages near Ha Shi Har. Among them, the larger ones are Togusak, Tilik, Yangnicheng'er, etc. In later generations, these places were also called Atush, Kashgar, Shule, Aktao, Yingisha, etc. But at that time, these places were not very decent. There are neither towering walls nor dense buildings. It's just a group of nomads wandering around, occasionally gathering together.
In these places, at first glance, the most eye-catching things are all kinds of tents, large and small. People from the Yarkand Khanate, from the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions, from the Mughal Dynasty in the south, from the Uzbek Kingdom in the north, all kinds of people, all mixed together, like a huge vegetable market.
When the news spread that the Ottoman Empire and the White Army were about to go to war, the people who originally lived here immediately dispersed. Just kidding, this is an unprecedented battle. If you accidentally get stuck in it, you may risk your life. The news spread to ten and hundreds, and all the nomads in the vicinity of Hashar were all gone.
Gao Yi led the lion cavalry army and quickly entered the battlefield. Their arrival marked the official start of the battle between the two sides. The Ottoman Empire did not want to withdraw from Central Asia, and the White Army did not want to withdraw from Central Asia. This meant that the contradiction between the two sides was irreconcilable. There is no other solution than war.
It just so happens that the Ottoman Empire also hopes to have a face-to-face confrontation with the White Army. They hope to directly defeat the White Army on the battlefield. Their troops lined up in many forms of square formations. Among them, the largest number is the Macedonian phalanx. However, this is not the main phalanx for combat. This is a defensive formation.
It is speculated from this that the Ottoman Empire defeated the army. Probably not quite ready for battle yet. Or maybe they haven't fully figured out the details of the White Army yet. As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle. Since Mahmoud is a battle-hardened veteran, he will definitely not make the stupid mistake of underestimating the enemy. He should be hiding somewhere, closely observing the movements of the white-coated army.
"Those are the Sudanese soldiers!"
Song Bingshu held up the telescope and said slowly.
This was the first time that Xu Xingxia saw the elite regular army of the Ottoman Empire, the legendary Sudanese soldiers.
In another world, Xu Xingxia had only seen this powerful armed force in the game. inside the game. The combat effectiveness of the Sudanese soldiers is indeed very strong. They can both shoot from a distance and fight hand-to-hand. Used well, the simple use of the Sultan's personal soldiers can overthrow the opponent. Of course, games are games and reality is reality and cannot be confused.
According to the information compiled by Song Bingshu, the Sudanese soldiers only appeared in the past two hundred years. At the beginning, the number of Sudanese soldiers. There are less than a thousand people. Later it slowly increased to 3,000 people. Later it slowly increased to 10,000 people. It was not until the Ottoman Empire attacked Constantinople that the Sudanese soldiers shined and gained the attention of the upper echelons of the Ottoman Empire.
The current Ottoman Empire has approximately half a million Sudanese soldiers. and the elite military of general countries. Different from the fact that they were all concentrated near the capital, the Sudanese soldiers of the Ottoman Empire basically fought on the front lines in all directions. For example, there are about 100,000 Sudanese soldiers in Central Asia. It can be said that the Sudanese soldiers are fighting all the time.
Looking through the telescope, these world-famous Sudanese soldiers have gray-white military uniforms and dark red belts. The hat is white. Speaking of the military uniforms of the Sudanese soldiers, the most distinctive feature is the white high hat they wear. Looking from a distance, they look like chefs in a big hotel. In fact. The janissaries of the Sudan are indeed very close to the chef. Not only do their military uniforms look like chefs, but even their military flags look like a cauldron. In the whole world, the Sudanese soldiers are probably the only ones who use a cauldron as a military flag.
Every Sudanese soldier carries not only a Rumi gun but also a scimitar. besides. There are also weapons that each likes, such as broken blades and daggers. Or maybe a javelin or something. According to the regulations of the Ottoman Sultan, the Sultan's janissaries could choose suitable weapons by themselves. There are no strict restrictions on the troops. In other words, as long as you can bring it, you can bring it all.
It has to be said that in the eyes of the traditional army, these Sudanese soldiers are indeed a bit different. It seems that the soldiers of the White Army are strictly prohibited from carrying any messy things except necessary equipment. The same goes for many other armies. Only the Sultan's personal soldiers had great freedom. As long as you are strong enough, you can even carry a live sheep onto the battlefield.
Various intelligence shows that most of the Sudanese soldiers are slaves. They all started when they were seven or eight years old.They were selected to go to the military camp and undergo cold and cruel training for at least ten years. This is truly more cruel training than actual combat. If they die in training, they are literally gone forever. Only those who survive can become the true soldiers of the Sudan.
However, what is incredible is that not all Sudanese soldiers believe in the Green Religion. Some of them believe in Christianity, some believe in green religion, and some believe in some messy fetishism. It's a weird combination. In the minds of ordinary people, the contradiction between Christianity and green religion is quite deep. The Crusades and the like were caused by religious conflicts.
According to the research of some people, due to abstinence, the Sudanese soldiers performed very bravely on the battlefield and have not yet encountered an opponent. In fact, these are all wrong. There is no abstinence rule among the Janissaries. It's just soldiers at the lowest level who have no chance to get women. Once they gain merit and promotion, they can have a large number of women. This was also a very effective measure to stimulate the Sudanese soldiers to fight to the death. Want money? Want status? Want a woman? Fight!
At the beginning, the powerful Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) was killed by these Sudanese soldiers. When attacking Constantinople, the powerful combat effectiveness displayed by the Sudanese soldiers made the Byzantine army defending the city feel very fearful. Eventually, they were overcome by fear. They had no choice but to surrender. From then on, the Sudanese janissaries became the main body of the Ottoman Empire's army.
Now, there are 30,000 Sudanese soldiers on the battlefield. It is obvious how strong the Ottoman Empire is in interfering in the rebellion in the Western Regions. You must know how powerful the 30,000 Sudanese soldiers are in combat, and how many things they can do. When the Ottoman Empire attacked Constantinople, the total number of Sudanese soldiers who went into battle was less than 20,000! Now, 30,000 Sudanese soldiers were dispatched to deal with the White Army. Obviously, they were really angry with the White Army and wanted to go to war.
From a world map, Istanbul is much farther from the Western Regions than Xi'an is from the Western Regions. This brought great difficulties to the Ottoman Empire in mobilizing its troops. However, even so, the Ottoman Empire still chose to go to war with the White Army, without any room for change. It can be seen how strong their hatred towards the White Army is.
"Sir, this is a letter of surrender sent by Mahmud." Zhang Tianhao handed a letter to Xu Xingxia.
The letter was sent from the Ottoman Empire in the name of Mahmud. In fact, it was not Mahmoud¡¯s handwriting at all. In the letter of persuasion to surrender, the Ottoman Imperial Army was very tough, requiring the white-coated troops to immediately put down their weapons, raise their hands, and surrender to them. Otherwise, it will suffer a devastating blow. Everyone will be destroyed by the true god.
Xu Xingxia glanced at them casually and said casually: "Just write them a reply and say we'll see you on the battlefield!"
Soon, the reply from the White Army was delivered to Mahmoud. This veteran of the Ottoman Empire read the reply very carefully. His brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed slightly. He then handed the reply to his deputy, a young man named Annaide. This young man came from the high-ranking Ottoman royal family and was deeply loved by the high-ranking Ottoman Empire.
"It's too much! Who do they think they are? They are all heretics! They are different people who should be wiped out! We allow them to surrender. It is a mercy from God! They actually dare to ask us to meet them on the battlefield! I really don't know What¡¯s the word ¡°death¡± written in? Well, the true God will help them! Let¡¯s just destroy them on the battlefield!¡±
Annaid still has some respect for Mahmoud, and he usually does not appear to be too domineering or arrogant. However, after seeing the reply from the white-robed army, he really couldn't bear it any longer. He subconsciously felt that with 30,000 elite Sudanese soldiers under their command and many fanatics helping out, it would not be difficult at all to deal with the White Army.
To be honest, Annaid didn¡¯t take the White Army seriously at all. He simply didn't think that there was any other army in the world that could fight better than the Sudanese soldiers. When he first arrived in Central Asia, his thoughts were all on how to conquer those beautiful women. Since this arrogant Xu Xingxia is looking for death, let him be fulfilled.
However, Mahmoud is not as optimistic as Annaid. Even, he felt a little bad. Xu Xingxia's reply was neither humble nor arrogant, neither sullen nor angry, which made him feel very uneasy. In his opinion, only very confident people can do this. Otherwise, Xu Xingxia's reply would either be abusive or humble. The situation was not right, and of course he did not dare to take it lightly.
