The first thousand four hundred and seventy-six chapters start!
To be honest, Cao Bianjiao was still a little afraid of Constable Danteburg. After being in the army for so many years, it can be said that this is the most difficult city he has faced.
Whether it was participating in the Battle of Jiannu or the three years of quelling the rebellion in the south, there was no such solid city defense or such a difficult battle. The place chosen by Constellation Danteburg was simply easy to defend but difficult to attack, which really made Cao Bianjiao a little tricky.
In order to be able to conquer this place, Cao Bianjiao carefully studied how the Ottomans defeated the Byzantines back then.
However, Cao Bianjiao discovered that although the combat power of the soldiers guarding here was very different, Muhammad II was still very concerned, because Mulaviye also launched a large-scale attack on Constantinople hundreds of years ago, and was defeated by something called Greek fire. In the cold winter, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated.
Before this, the walls of Constantinople had never been defeated head-on.
At that time, the soldiers guarding the city were mainly Scottish mercenaries. Those who could participate in such wars were either outlaws or religious fanatics, with extraordinary combat power.
So Muhammad II understood that the war must end as soon as possible. Constantinople was actually very weak, but the religious world behind it was very large. Constantinople Eleven was not without seeking help like the Pope. It was just that the Pope asked them to abolish the Patriarch, and then the East and West Churches merged, but was rejected by the Patriarch of the King Castle. They believed that Constantinople could prevent pagans. As long as pagans entered the King Castle, the angels would come down to earth to kill all the pagans. The Pope and the Western world were actually hesitating whether to launch the crusades. If they really started, Muhammad II would not be in great trouble.
Constellation Danteburg's defense is solid, and the information brought by Cao Bianjiao Ming can be seen. On one side is the Dardanelles and on the other side is the double-height city. The Ottomans in Dardanelles are not even advantageous. So if someone can send troops with a little support at this time, Constellation Danteburg can really hold on, and once winter comes, it will be a great disaster for Mohammed II. In the end, it will be a huge disaster to win by giant artillery.
September has begun, and the weather is gradually getting colder. The area here is quite special. It is one or two months before the Ming Dynasty when winter enters, and the winter here is much colder than the Ming Dynasty.
Although the rear has begun to transport a large number of cotton coats, leather shoes, and other various cold-proof supplies to this place, Cao Bianjiao understood that the winter here is not a joke.
Once he cannot win Constellation Danteburg before November, he will face the inability to advance and retreat, and the cold winter will teach him a good lesson.
Although the Ming Dynasty prepared a lot of cold-proof supplies, the winter here was really terrible. I learned about it from the mouths of the locals.
Even though the cold-proof materials sent from behind were sufficient, it was only enough for the army to spend ten days and half a month in the field. When winter really came, the army could only retreat to Kojaelli.
If the army is still in the wild and the consumed materials cannot keep up, I won’t say that, and I will not be able to attack at that time. If the Ming army does not retreat, they will have to fall into a dilemma.
When the spring gets warmer, the Ming army will encounter more difficulties by then, because the Ottomans who have mobilized nationwide combat will definitely be stronger than they are now.
From now to winter, it will take at least half a year. At that time, the Ottomans will definitely recruit troops vigorously and strengthen the defense of Constable Danteburg.
When the Ming army wants to attack again in the spring, they will not face an Ottoman army of 300,000. Maybe even Cao Bianjiao will not be surprised if he wants to attack 800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00
After conquering this place in two months, this is the timetable set by Cao Bianjiao for himself.
In fact, there was more than one person who had a headache in front of Constable Danteburg, just like a person Cao Bianjiao was more familiar with. At that time, he was in a similar situation to his inner self.
This person was the Khan of the Timur Khanate, one of the biggest enemies of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Timur, the strongest man in Central Asia, defeated the Ottoman Empire's army in Ankara. In the Battle of Ankara, Timur wiped out the Ottoman Guards and captured his monarch, Bayezid, nicknamed "Lightning", and expanded the empire's territory to the Asia Minor Peninsula. However, after the Ottoman Empire surrendered to Timur, Timur did not continue the westward expedition to Europa, but led his army back to his old nest Hezhong area, carefully preparing for the war here and preparing for the Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty.
Why did Timur not continue to fight for Europa, but he had to turn around and attack the Ming Dynasty?
Because Timur himself knew that he could not conquer Constantinople at all. After Timur defeated the Ottomans, the territory of the Timur Khanate and Constantinople were already across the sea. If Timur chose to continue the western expedition, he would have to attack Constantinople by sea. Although Byzantium had begun to decline at that time, the city defense construction of Constantinople was still very strong, and the Timur Empire did not have a strong navy and could not transport a large number of troops to conquer Constantinople.
Even though the Ross and Lithuanian Principality in northern Europa had been wiped out by the Tatars, Europa was opened at this time, but Timur still gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to conquer Europa.
In many years, no one has been able to cross the strait from the south to capture Constellation Danteburg. The only few times Constellation Danteburg was captured, which was the weakest at that time when their empire was in an isolated state.
Of course, the most important thing is to defeat Constellation Danteburg, all of which come from the north.
It has to be said that Constellation Dantemberg is known as the most sturdy gateway to Asia into Europa.
In fact, Cao Bianjiao also understood that entering Europa from here is the most difficult road to enter Europa in Asia, but it is also the easiest road. If you walk from the north and enter Europa from Russia, there is relatively little solid city defense, but it will greatly open up the supply line of the Ming army.
Now there are still millions of people maintaining the supply line of the Ming army. If they go from the north, they may have dragged down the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the unmanned land that is thousands of miles wide, and with no roads, it is simply a forbidden area for logistics.
For three consecutive days, Cao Bianjiao and Yiying's division commander-level and above, as well as the staff and the navy, were discussing how to attack Constable Danteburg.
During these three days, these officers didn't go out here. Except for the convenience, they held cigarettes in their mouths and pointed at the sand table to simulate the plan of siege.
Three days later, the plan came out, and the smoke butt on the ground was enough to bury a person. I saw thick smoke rolling around the big tent. Those who didn't know thought it was on fire.
