Before Ling Chen went on the expedition, he definitely did not take the Safi Dynasty seriously.
He believed that the Safavid dynasty was really nothing compared to the Ottomans. Especially in these years, the internal struggle within the Safi dynasty has never stopped. This history is a bit interesting to talk about. The Safavid Dynasty has always been the name given to the Persian Empire by the outside world. In fact, during these years of fighting, the Safi Dynasty has changed many monarchs.
The Safi Dynasty was destroyed by the Handaki Dynasty. After that, the country fell into a long-term melee. Afshar dynasty, Durrani dynasty, Zand dynasty, Qajar dynasty...
Notice.
These dynasties did not appear sequentially, but at some points in time, they all appeared at the same time.
This means.
The Persian Empire today is just like the Warring States Period.
Because of different sects, many dynasties emerged at the same time.
Its internal contradiction is mainly a problem.
religion.
The endless struggle between Sunnis and Shias has become the main theme of dynastic changes.
Till death.
Naturally there is no possibility of reconciliation.
As long as which sect comes to power, the other will be mercilessly expelled and massacred.
but.
What Ling Chen didn't expect was.
The war he launched with East India united these dynasties and forces.
The Mashhad he is currently besieging is guarded by a famous monarch in history, Nader Shah of the Afshar Dynasty!
The Afshar Dynasty is known as the "Red-headed Dynasty"! This is because Nader Shah was born in poverty and was sold as a slave since he was a child. Later, he successfully escaped and joined the armed tribe "Red Heads", and then gradually became a warlord of the separatist side.
This Nadersha is not a simple person.
He once recovered the land plundered by the Ottoman Empire and the territory occupied by the Russian Empire. He even invaded the Mughal Empire in India and sacked Delhi.
Nader Shah was invincible and was known as the "Napoleon of Persia". He used the wealth plundered from the expedition to build a large-scale construction in Persia and encourage culture, so that Persia showed its prosperity during the golden age of the Safavid dynasty. scene. But his shortcomings are still obvious. He is Sunni. Because of the oppression of Shia, he has never been able to become a truly unified leader.
This siege has lasted for more than a month.
The city walls of Mashhad are stained with blood.
Because it took too long, the smell of blood that started to turn into a foul smell was already unbearable.
"This Nader Shah has something..."
Today was another day of fierce attack, and Ling Chen's face turned a little livid.
This month.
He had exhausted almost all options.
Oil, fire attack, air force...these magic weapons that once made the Liangzhou Army invincible were all blocked by them!
This person must have done enough research on the Liangzhou Army.
The oil came and they prepared enough sand and soil. This is of course the best way to put out a fire.
It's not easy for the air force to come over.
Because the geographical environment of Central Asia is mostly plains, and the enemy has strong walls and clear fields. Once the air force takes off, it will be exposed to their sight. Before it lands, it will be attacked by their bows, arrows and crossbows. The losses are huge and the gain is not worth the loss. .
For a while.
Ling Chen was a little worried.
Fortunately.
Our logistical supplies in East India have always been very strong.
Otherwise, if he goes deep alone, he will definitely be dragged to death.
In the military camp.
He looked around and said calmly: "Let's all talk and think of a way. If this continues, when will we be able to eat the entire Safi Dynasty!"
All the generals looked at each other.
"Sir, since this is a siege, we must find a way to cut off the enemy's supply line!"
"Yes, if the supply line is cut off, they will never survive for a month!"
Ling Chen smiled coldly: "It's easy to say, how to cut it? Other warlords are trying their best to provide him with supplies, and our military strength has no time to take care of it. If the siege is too close, we have to worry about their sneak attack..."
Everyone looked very unhappy.
They are all Longyan people, and they really don't know much about the terrain of Central Asia.
The mysterious terrain of Central Asia has a wide field of vision. It is said to be a siege, but you can't really get too close... If the enemy sets a fire for you and then burrows back, it will probably make you miserable. A little temper.
"Find a way, come up with a way for me quickly!"
Ling Chen became angry as he spoke.
This war in Central Asia has been going on for so long.
As a result, the two little guys from Liangzhou Military Academy have become famous, but he himself, a dignified general, has made no achievements at all!
He is not willing to give in!
He wants to become famous in one battle!
Therefore, someone suggested asking for help from Qin Changfeng and Zou Sheng...
Isn't this a slap in Ling Chen's face?
He is now an East Indian, a team he pulled out to work for! You go to Liangzhou for anything, get beaten up, and then go back and call your mother?
Is it a shame?
Think of ways to.
Think of ways to.
A group of people scratched their heads and ears.
"Sir, Omar wants to see you!"
…
"Quick, quick, hurry up and reinforce it!"
"This way, this way!"
"Work harder, no one can sleep today!"
at this time.
Mashhad is still busy.
Everyone is holding torches and fortifying the fortifications.
Nader Shah quietly looked at the dotted camps in the distance, frowning.
Suddenly, his head felt dizzy.
The people nearby were shocked.
"grown ups!"
"How are you doing, sir..."
"grown ups!"
Nadersha took a deep breath, shook his head, and smiled miserably.
He is too tired.
I haven't slept much this month.
The people in the city still have a high level of anti-war sentiment. After all, the enemy is fighting an unjust war!
They were invaded!
However……
Nadir Shah is no longer a child.
he knows.
What a righteous teacher, what an unjust war.
They are all used to fool these people and believers.
War is an extension of politics.
Wasn't his current territory taken from others?
The powerful Long Yan wants to confront Osman head-on, so he doesn't need any reason to send troops.
Relatively speaking.
After conquering a city, the East Indians would not burn, kill, loot, or massacre the city, but would help build the city. This aspect is already rare in history.
Didn’t you notice that those Mughal governors are now enjoying spicy food every day?
It is said that……
Many factories have begun to be built all over India, and they are thriving.
"Sir, it's time for you to take a rest..."
"grown ups……"
A group of people were advising from the side.
Nadersha smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Can he sleep?
The Dragon Flame Army is so powerful... If it weren't for his rich combat experience, this city would have been destroyed long ago.
Oh no.
They are not Long Yanjun.
But a company.
company.
He looked worried.
He didn't know how long he could hold on.
this city.
How long can it last?
