    *** After the Safavid Empire¡¯s envoys arrived in Nanjing, they showed full sincerity and wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Da Qin, and quickly reached a series of trade agreements.  ¡ø¡à In terms of politics and military affairs, the Safavid Empire will marry Princess Isman, the sister of Abbas II, to Da Qin. As the concubine of the Emperor of Da Qin, the two countries will form a good relationship between Qin and Jin.  At the same time, an agreement was reached to jointly attack the Ottoman Empire.  The Safavid Empire will mobilize 100,000 elite troops to attack Baghdad, forming a north-south pincer attack with Li Ding, who is attacking the Caucasus.  When the two countries reached a series of political, military, and trade agreements in Nanjing, due to the time difference, Sujin in the river had already provided a large amount of weapons to the Kurds and Uzbeks.  This is not really Su Jin¡¯s fault, because the Safavid Empire¡¯s envoy went to Daqin for more than a month. After the establishment of diplomatic relations, it would take at least another month for the news to reach the river.  Before receiving the news of the establishment of diplomatic relations, the Safavids were the biggest threat to Su Jin. He gave half of the weapons previously seized from Kazakhstan, Brut, and Bulat on credit and sent a large amount to  Uzbeks and Kurds.  It happened that in order to lift the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible, the Safavids withdrew the troops on the border first. This was so bad that the Uzbeks and the Kurds immediately started to quarrel, and the Khorasan region suddenly became a war.  Rekindled.  At this time, Su Jin's pressure was greatly reduced. While sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, he sent 20,000 troops northward. With the cooperation of Yang Ji'er, he completely wiped out the Kipchak Da Cao Yuan.  Filling the military gap left by Li Ding's army in the western expedition to the Caucasus.  At this time, Li Ding had already led 40,000 Mongolian cavalry and 20,000 Kazakh cavalry, and quickly crossed the west of the Volga River.  In the middle and lower reaches of the Volga River, as it flows through semi-deserts and deserts, the water is evaporated and there are no tributaries to flow in, so the flow rate decreases.  The terrain downstream is flat and low-lying.  The drop is small and the water flow is slow. It is divided into 80 branches and flows into the Caspian Sea.  There are not many people in these areas, and there are very few troops stationed by Tsarist Russia. With the diversion of the river, it is impossible to stop Su Jin's army.  Before the army arrived, several hundred Tsarist Russian troops were so frightened that they fled.  The guide Anomir said to Su Jin: "General, go several hundred miles north along the Vol River. Tsarist Russia built a Tsaritsyn Fortress at the confluence of the Tsaritsyn River and the Volga River. During the rule of the Golden Horde,  The Uzbek Khan first established his capital in Tsaritsyn Fortress, which is located to the north of the fertile Don River plain. Therefore, the location of Tsaritsyn Fortress is very important. Since it is surrounded by rivers on three sides, there is only a fan-shaped land in the north, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.  There are also artillery on the fortress, and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed there. There are several fortresses nearby. Once the Tsaritsyn Fortress is attacked, it will be very difficult for the troops from other small fortresses to come to reinforce it.  The Tsaritsyn Fortress was the bridgehead for Tsarist Russia to resist the Ottomans from the Caucasus. The Ottomans launched tens of thousands of troops to attack the Tsaritsyn Fortress many times, but they failed every time due to frequent wars going south.  Escaped and deserted, small armies of the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia have been fighting on this land for many years. More than a hundred miles south, there is the city of Kota built by the Ottomans in the Caucasus.  Condition.  No need for Arnomildo to say, Li Ding had made it clear earlier, and Arthurius' 50,000 main army was completely wiped out.  It¡¯s good that the Ottoman soldiers in Kota City didn¡¯t collapse.  ?Then why didn¡¯t the Tsarist Russian army take this opportunity to seize the Caucasus?  ¡° Then you have to lend him a few water tanks to build up courage.  Li Ding and Qiubai fought all the way and wiped out eastern and Siberia, and defeated Arthurius on Mount Mugozhar. If the Russian army went to attack the Caucasus at this time, wouldn't they take off their quilts, bend down, and  Raise your buttocks and expose your anus to Li Ding and Qiao?  At this time, Qiubai said: "General, we must reserve a retreat. If we go to attack the Caucasus, there will be no problem if everything goes well, but if the war is delayed, we must transport grain and grass supplies from Atyrau;  By then, the Russians will definitely take advantage of the situation and attack our supply lines. Therefore, the general suggested that we should leave 10,000 troops here and build some defensive fortifications just in case." Li Ding heard this and thought.  It makes sense, and he was about to deploy according to what Zhebai said. However, as he spoke, he suddenly had a new idea: "General Gualja, you also heard what Anomir said just now. Not only is the Tsaritsyn Fortress easy to defend,  It is difficult to attack, and there are artillery and a large number of Russian troops defending it. The Ottoman army attacked many times but failed to capture this fortress. If we try to attack this fortress, even if we can conquer it, we will probably suffer heavy casualties." When Zhaibei heard this, he suddenly woke up and lost his voice: "General, what do you mean, give him a way to lure the snake out of its hole?  "    "good!  "The two men immediately began to plan and deploy, and finally decided to leave 10,000 people to build fortifications in the lower reaches of the Volga River, but only 10,000 Kazakh cavalry were left behind. "Subsequently, Li Ding's 50,000-strong army marched toward Kota in the Caucasus.  There are four thousand defenders in the city, there are cannons at the top of the city, and the various fortifications are also very strong. However, the defenders in the city were frightened when they saw the mighty army outside the city, and then they saw Arthur.  Lius and others were taken to the city, and there was an even greater uproar. It was under the leadership of Arthurius that the Ottoman Empire took back the Caucasus from the Safavid Empire. Arthurius, the governor of the Caucasus, was among the Ottoman soldiers.  The prestige is very high. But the higher his prestige, the greater the psychological impact on the soldiers guarding the city as a prisoner of the Qin army. The soldiers were thinking that even Governor Arthurius, who was good at fighting, was defeated.  How can we defeat the Qin people? Li Ding asked Arthurius to go to the city to persuade them to surrender. Arthurius refused, but many of his generals expressed their willingness to go to the city to persuade them to surrender in order to survive. These people were once  For important generals in the Caucasus, this will be a fatal blow to the morale of the city. If Li Ding gives an ultimatum and puts down his weapons, he can go home. If he continues to resist, no one will be left alive after the city is broken.  It is not enough to fight mentally. Later, Li Ding ordered the attack on the city and said to the 10,000 Kazakh servants: "After the city is broken, you can loot freely for three days.  ¡± Encouraged by the wealth and beauties in the city, 10,000 Kazakh servants launched a fierce attack on Kota City. Li Ding also used rockets to assist in the battle, and at the same time sent a supervising team. Anyone who failed to fight and took a step back would be beheaded! For a moment,  The artillery fire roared under the city of Kota, and the sound of killing was loud. The 10,000 Kazakh troops were said to be servants, but in fact they were from the regular army. Under the strict military law and huge temptation, they attacked the city with all their strength.  The morale of the defenders was low. Under such a fierce attack, the city was in danger for half a day. If it continued like this, it would definitely not last long. By nightfall, some of the defenders in the city began to flee privately, one by one, and finally got out of hand. In the middle of the night.  As many as hundreds of people fled. Li Ding struck while the iron was hot and ordered to attack the city overnight. At five o'clock, Kota City fell. However, this was not the point. At this time, Li Ding ordered the city gates to be surrounded.  To prevent anyone from escaping, the army did not enter the city. Only five thousand soldiers were sent into the city to disguise themselves as Ottoman defenders and confront the army outside the city. This trick was actually done for the Russians to see.  From the next day, there was always a loud killing sound outside the city of Kota. The fierce battle between the Qin army and the "Ottoman army" was very fierce. However, the Qin army failed to break the city for a long time, and there was inevitably a crisis in logistics supplies, so Li Ding had to order from the Caspian Sea.  The Qin army and the Ottomans fought in the bloody battle in the city of Atyrau. The Russians were of course very concerned about it. Since the Qin army sent a large number of rangers outside the city of Kota, the Russians could not get close to observe.  But the sounds of fighting outside the city could be heard for twenty to thirty miles every day. Food supplies for the tens of thousands of troops had to be transported from Atyrau, and it was impossible to hide the news from the Russians.  What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! **************************** ps: I bow and thank you for playing with stones.
