Warlock Royal Family

"Your Majesty, how can you move your body of ten thousand gold?" Although the general manager was a little nervous just now, he is actually a veteran of many battles, and he is quite familiar with the art of war.

Now that the sky is just dawning, it is a good time to launch the main decisive battle.

The city of Buda is bordered by the Danube River in the east, and there is a camp of the Ottoman army on the north, west, and south sides. There are [-] soldiers in each camp. Minions, to ensure that weaker minions are not isolated.

There are 5000 soldiers in the city of Buda as the general reserve force. This force is composed entirely of Ottomans, half of which is [-] people.

The Ottoman army has a total of only 2 standing troops. This is not only a military organization, but also a missionary method of the Ottoman Empire. [

The little boys who are not believers of Xingyue were organized together to participate in training since they were young. They will also get land when they retire. A large number of properties seized from the Church of Cyric will encourage these soldiers to fight bravely. When they retire, they will He became a devout Xingyue believer.

The Austrians may be lucky. That Ladislaus seems to have a lot of experience in night battles. After the Ottoman Empire captured Constantinople, they have always tended to rely on a dignified formation to win. They just need to play normally If you show your own strength, you are the enemy.

At night, the cavalry will be closed to a relatively small area. Perhaps relying on elite scouts and guides familiar with the geography, there is little hope that the reaction time of the Ottoman army can be compressed to the point where it is impossible to complete the assembly.

It may be possible to form a short-term advantage of the main force over the first.

But no matter which direction the Austrian army came from, they could not make full use of this numerical advantage.

The 2 troops of the Ottoman army can definitely hold back the Austrian army relying on the simple fortifications in the camp, and then the main force and the other two troops will quickly arrive and defeat the Austrians relying on the advantage of internal mobilization.

Even if costly and powerful feints can be launched in two directions to temporarily achieve the purpose of containment, the elite in Buda alone is enough to defeat the Austrian army.

But all of this is based on the stability of Ottoman's center, if Suleiman reacts wrongly.Then the whole army may be shaken.

"If the Austrians want a decisive battle, the main force should follow the scouts in the early battle. Now that our army has a firm foothold, we can borrow from the city. They will not come to die."

"Your Majesty, didn't that King Louis come to die? The enemy may be unexpectedly stupid."

It has to be said that the coping strategy adopted by His Majesty King Louis is the "best response" for the Ottoman Empire, which the enemy dared not even think about. His recklessness and stupidity made Suleiman hesitate. Will he miss the opportunity if he is too careful?

What if Ladislaus was so helpful?

At this time, Ibrahim Pasha's adjutant came, and he brought a message from his chief: "Your Majesty, Ibrahim Pasha invites you to stay in the palace and take an overview of the overall situation. He has already led a team out of the east gate to support. "

Ibrahim Pasha was able to directly mobilize [-] Yeniseli new troops, and his reaction speed was not inferior to that of the pro-military troops around the Sudan.

"Well, it is indeed my Ibrahim."

Outside the east gate of Buda City, when Ibrahim Pasha arrived with the elite of his headquarters, he found that he could not help at all.

The troops defending the docks had repelled the limited number of Austrian troops ashore and were already supporting the river fleet with trebuchets.

But the Austrian River Fleet was fighting the attacks of these small trebuchets with limited power.Vigorously attack the Ottoman transport fleet. [

"What is the Tyrol doing?! Keep in formation, don't chase at random." Jevich's shout passed through the deck, but apparently couldn't cross the Danube. A little bit out of the brigade.

"Don't use signal flags, use signals." Signals are high-tech.

High tech means high prices, and in a flash of fire, hundreds of thalers just disappeared.

The captain who is eager to do his best may not fail to see the signal flag.It's just that he is eager to do good work, but the appearance of the signal shows Yevic's unquestionable attitude. He finally gave up the pursuit bitterly and watched an Ottoman warship not far away fleeing downstream.

Affected by the lack of light and confusion, the Ottoman side believed that the Austrian warships were all large and medium-sized sailboats. In fact, unlike Suleiman's emergency report, Jevich's flagship "Rudolf the Great" According to the common standards in the world, it is actually a giant sailboat.

This battleship commemorating the first generation of the Holy Roman Emperor of the Habsburg family has a tonnage of more than 150 tons. In the Venetian and Ottoman navies, they just crossed the line and were barely considered semi-capital ships.

But it is already the absolute overlord on the Danube.

Jevic dispatched the fleet in order from west to east, from strong to weak.In other words, his flagship lined up on the western channel closest to the trebuchet on the road.

And eleven warships were lined up to attack across the board.

Although two rows or three rows are traditionally the common formation of the fleet, this allows the commander to command more effectively and it is easier to support each other.

But Jevic is determined to step up the force of the first attack.Therefore, the front of the attack was opened as much as possible.

This is not a wise, but full of pride formation.

This is the first time that Jevich led the Austrian River Fleet to attack, and the opponent was the Ottoman Empire, which shocked the world. The courage shown as a commander is very important.

Facts have proved that he chose the right one. Although Austria's nascent river fleet still has various shortcomings, it is still more than enough to deal with the transport fleet attached to the Ottoman Empire's army.

Although there are many veteran officers and soldiers with rich experience in naval warfare in the Ottoman fleet, they come from various fleets, and this improvised system cannot exert their strength at all.

Most of the officers and soldiers regarded coming to the Danube to transport food as a vacation, and they never thought that they would come here to be beaten.

The more important reason is that they do not have suitable warships. The Danube channel is too complicated. It is an action that will definitely delay the Sudanese expedition to drag large or giant sails here.

This kind of thing will lose your head, and it is completely unnecessary. No country will invest too many resources in the inland waterway to form a fleet.

No one would do such a thing that might be a complete waste of their limited resources, no one, but not Ladislaus who "sees history".

His painstaking efforts, devoting enormous resources, finally gave Austria a strategic advantage in this life-or-death contest.

Austria's specially designed and assembled fleet for the Danube waterway has fully demonstrated its unique advantages.

"Let the Linz slow down, and don't rush in!" Several captains dug from the Venetian navy obediently obeyed Jevich, who was not as experienced as them, and they all knew the importance of formation in water warfare. [

Instead, it was the local Austrian half-bottles of water that were causing the trouble.

The captains who were native Austrian aristocrats had limited experience. The formation was very tense last night, and several dangers and confusions occurred on the ships commanded by the Austrians.

When launching a surprise attack, the captain knew it was a critical moment, and everyone acted strictly according to the established tactics.

That round of onslaught really caught the Ottomans by surprise.

When the situation is at an advantage, these people can no longer restrain their urge to advance greedily.

The contest between Ottoman and European countries has lasted for more than 200 years, and no country has ever heard of a fleet dedicated to the Danube.

Neither the officers and soldiers nor Ottoman's decision-makers thought that the focus of the contest would be here.

Compared with the difficulty of fighting, sailing at night is more dangerous. Although a lot of hydrological information has been accumulated through the trading fleet, and several Hungarian hydrological experts have been collected, the journey is still extremely thrilling.

Two ships went off course and suffered damage.

During the formation, a ship also flew the wrong flag and wasted half an hour. During this half hour, the entire fleet cursed the flag bearer and his captain, and at the same time worried with fear whether the Ottomans would find themselves in advance.

In the end, there were no major mistakes, and it was a small miracle that all eleven ships were able to reach the predetermined positions.

After a round of onslaught at dawn, the Ottoman fleet fell into chaos, and their vigilance and response were far worse than that of the army.

The Austrian fleet has a natural advantage in the course, and the weather is beautiful today, giving it a strong northwest wind.

This allowed the Austrians to occupy the two most important geographical advantages in water warfare, upstream and upper hand, and the battle went unexpectedly smooth.

The huddled Ottoman ships in the dock area were all fleeing for their lives under the onslaught of Austrian crossbows and catapults.

A large number of officers had spent the night ashore and could not return to combat positions.

Another disadvantage is that the Ottoman fleet does not have a unified command. There is no organizational relationship between the transport fleets sent by each province, and there is no clear leader among several transport fleets. Without organizational relationships, it is impossible to launch a counterattack.

A few ships had bravely launched a counterattack at the beginning, and they had been concentrated fire by Jevich.

Now all the boats in the dock area are fighting for the river and trying to escape downstream, just trying to escape as much as possible. (to be continued...)
