Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 507 Slow Hand

() The Sava River and the Drava River are also tributaries on the west side of the Danube River originating from the Alps, but the runoff of the Sava River is much larger than that of the Drava River

In addition, this river has been Hungary's first line of defense against Ottoman aggression for the past 200 years. No Hungarian would try to build a bridge here

Not only economically irrational, but also a great potential risk to the military

Therefore, the middle and lower reaches of the Sava River do not have the bridges that the Ottomans urgently need like the Drava River

Jevich's fleet, despite the difficulties, is still functioning

However, there is still some savings in Osijek. The Ottoman soldiers had a full meal here and saw the long-lost meat dishes.

Everyone saw a little bit of beef foam in their bowls

Not only has the food improved, but there is no need to worry about the enemy's pursuit for the time being. Although most people still cannot enter the city, at least the camp is relatively strong

All this shows that the further south you go, the more powerful the Ottoman ZF organization and logistical preparations will be, and the situation will start to improve

"Your Majesty, Hanan Pasha of Belgrade apologizes to you. The half-built pontoon bridge collapsed again, and one of his sons was washed away. There is no time to try the next bad thing. We can't build a pontoon bridge on the Sava River in time."

"Understood, let him try to raise as many transport ships as possible."

Ibrahim was not surprised by Suleiman's calmness. Although many of his subjects thought their monarch was harsh, Ibrahim knew that this monarch actually had enough judgment to distinguish between insufficient effort and manpower. both cases

In the cold winter river, it is obviously the latter case to build a usable pontoon bridge in such a limited time

Of course, this is also thanks to Ibrahim's unmoving expression of his son's death to explain Hanan

This Hanan Pasha has no personal relationship with Ibrahim

He is not a Greek, but a Bulgarian who is also a non-Turk. These foreign converts naturally have this kind of tacit mutual assistance in order to survive.

In fact, "raising more transport ships" is also an extremely difficult task. A large number of ships have been lost in repeated battles with the Austrian fleet, and these ships are all transport ships of relatively good quality.

When crossing the Drava River, another batch of ships was lost. Although Jevich's fleet was strongly blocked, the actual loss of the Ottoman side was still more than three times that of Austria, not just the loss of the battle itself. It's a difficult tactical move

On the night of crossing the Drava River, more than two thousand Ottoman soldiers underwent an additional endurance test. Their boats took them halfway across, and they had to swim the rest of the way by themselves.

The penalty for failing the test is obviously severe

Moreover, the selection of testers for this test is basically random. Except for the ship that Suleiman was on, who has been checked repeatedly, everyone else can only ask for luck.

As the organizer of crossing the river, Ibrahim is able to plan the retreat sequence of the various ministries and ensure the order of the troops is already the limit. No matter how much he is asked to do, he really can't do it.

It’s just that Said and Zhuo can’t think so, after all, it’s no small miracle that his old bones can swim across the Drava River

He couldn't help suspecting that this was Ibrahim's means of attacking his political opponents. He resolutely took over the organization work to withdraw across the Sava River.

"In any case, I still hope that you will let me continue to organize this river crossing. I have accumulated a small but valuable experience, and I will do well this time." Ibrahim still refused to give up

Suleiman had to consider the political balance. The highly respected old He Zhuo made such a request after going through such a swimming test. He really couldn't refuse: "The enemy has built the bridge on the Drava River first, and has not captured the Bauer. Qi, we should be considered safe, and we can calmly organize the crossing of the river."

After thinking for a while, Suleiman continued: "Organizing a retreat is a job that is full of danger and has little honor. Being able to repeatedly ask for such a job shows that you are indeed my loyal subject. I am very moved, Ibrahim."

"I just hate that I didn't discover the wolfish ambitions of the Habsburg family this time. As the head of the intelligence department, I have failed in my duty." Ibrahim now recalls the scene where Ladislaus was blocked in the underground laboratory. When encountering a battle, I will regret it from the bottom of my heart, "It would be fine if I killed him with all my might."

"Don't talk nonsense, I heard your battle descriptions, it's extremely dangerous, it's all because of Do'Urden's level that you can come back alive, and if you retreat a little later, you will definitely die." Suleiman also kept thinking about the pair It was a very dangerous battle for both sides. Although he is powerful, he has never experienced such a life-and-death contest. Every time he thinks about it, he will feel excited

"We are going to attack Hungary. The relevant preparations are naturally aimed at the Hungarians. You have done a very good job. There is nothing to regret. Although we did not seize much land, we destroyed the Hungarian central government. The following chaos will inevitably There will be a chance." Suleiman patted his confidant on the shoulder to show that he is still full of energy

"There is one more thing. I have already thought that the governor of Osijek is very capable and shouldn't let him take unnecessary risks. I decided to replace him and let Fedetaler be responsible for sticking to Osijek." Hungary, then this leading party is very valuable, but under the current situation, Federtale is useless

"Your Majesty sees thousands of miles, he is the last person who can't surrender to Austria." Ibrahim naturally doesn't care

"Give him more Armenian miscellaneous troops and Hungarian attached troops, but give him as little food as possible. This guy is ambitious. It's better to let him be forced to fight the Austrians." Suleiman intends to squeeze out the remaining value of this traitor. "Of course, We still have to go south as soon as possible, if Ankara is conquered by those heretics, the situation will be dangerous."

Suleiman is indeed able to afford heroes who can be let go, and he was once angry that Ladislaus seemed to pick the fruits of his hard cultivation, but that was only a short-lived emotion

In fact he now deeply admires Ladislaus' visionary planning and decisive attack

"However, those rebellious officials and thieves are just mobs after all, and they can only waste a year of our time at most. In the next year, I will hunt in Hungary with the warlock royal family again." The power of the Ottoman Empire was only slightly damaged. The empire's economy The center around the Bosporus Strait is still stable, but some aggressive and poor tribes on the border have launched a rebellion.

In fact, even if the rebels captured Ankara and even the Persian Empire joined the war, Suleiman was still confident that he would be able to repel the eastern enemies within a year

"But that time the Danube will be under your control." Of course, Ibrahim has already understood the key to this futility. "Some small ships of the Black Sea Fleet should be able to fight here."

"Well, Austria's national power is actually very limited, and it's too late to digest Hungary in a year. I just need to allocate a little bit of the resources invested in the Mediterranean to the Danube River to overwhelm them." The Austrian fleet is actually close to its limit, and it is also an Ottoman monarch. As far as I know, it's just that they can't add the last force to Jevich's crumbling fleet this time, and all the forces that can be transferred on the Danube have already been transferred.

After the couple chatted a few more words about the stock and distribution of food, Ibrahim saw the chief executive standing behind the curtain.

He realized just in time that it was time to resign.

"Your Majesty, Governor Osijek introduced a Hungarian marquise who admired your heroism very much. Would you like to summon her today and let her have the honor to see the sky?"

"Oh? Why not?"

The conversation behind me flickers

'The governor of Osijek is more than just a businessman,' thought Ibrahim as he walked

'When was the last time I presented a beauty to His Majesty?Well, it is necessary to find another good one'

After crossing the banks of the Sava River, the Ottoman monarchs took a slow move, and they all relaxed a little. To be continued, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation mqidian read )
