Section 1094 Siege III: A terrible battle
"The Chinese are not easy to deal with!" Inside the military tent, Farhad Pasha looked at the casualty report and silently closed his eyes!
Their superiority in strength, combat effectiveness, and firearms caused heavy losses to the Ottomans.
Even in Europe, it is rare to have 8,000 dead and wounded in one day, 8,000 a day, 160,000 in 20 days, how can so many soldiers be consumed!
In Europe, there is still a good chance that the wounded will survive.
As for the Chinese, their dummy bullets, shotguns, and fire oil made it difficult for the Ottomans to save the lives of the wounded.
A sturdy soldier was hit by a lead bullet, and the wound was very small, but he kept the fever and did not go away, and in the end, his life was difficult to protect, and his life was whimper!
The widespread use of oil made the Ottomans suffer, and the burns of those days were almost hopeless!
They also have oil oil, but they can't use it so extravagantly if the Chinese want to, in the Ottoman Empire, there is no shortage of oil, after all, the Middle East oil fields are close at hand!
However, the cost of extraction and transportation, as well as procurement, etc., added up, and the price of oil at such a close distance was actually three times the cost of transporting oil from the distant island of Sumatra, which shows the degree of blackness of the bureaucracy.
Even if the other side could not see from the city, Farhad Pasha could feel that the battle did not cause much damage to the Chinese, and this was the result of the continuous assault on Xiongcheng by the army.
He gritted his teeth and continued to urge Istanbul to ask for more troops and military supplies, preparing to launch a continuous attack on Cairo's new city.
At this time, he was already riding a tiger, and if he didn't have many horses, he wouldn't be able to beat Cairo New Town, but if he wanted many horses, if he still couldn't beat Cairo New City......
In the city, they were rejoicing, and the army commander Li Laiheng visited the wounded in the city hospital and said to them cordially: "Good! Well played! ”
Hearing that the commander wanted to take credit for them, the wounded were also very happy and had a pleasant conversation with the commander.
The preferential treatment policy of the Southeastern Army was very effective, and the morale of the army was raised as a result.
On the surface, they were in control of the victory and did not take the Ottomans seriously, but after coming out of the hospital, Li Laiheng had dinner with senior officers and said: "The situation is not optimistic, the Ottomans have the advantage of troops, their will to fight is very firm, and they also have the suppression of firepower!" ”
He said sternly: "If we take it lightly, it is irresponsibility to the army and disregard for our own lives!" ”
Everyone nodded silently, the so-called layman looked at the lively insider's doorway, although the battle during the day made the Ottomans ecstatic, but it did not shake the foundation of the Ottomans.
The Ottomans definitely have the ability to overturn the new city of Cairo!
"And!" Li Laiheng was reused by the leader for no reason, he joined the army since he was a child, and he had extremely rich combat experience, and he warned the people: "The enemy will attack with heavy troops, and even use some means to form an advantage over us locally!"
"Yes!" Deputy Army Commander Hao Shaoqi also said: "No matter what, there are more people than us, so we have to fight!" ”
So the officers returned to their units and that night conveyed the spirit of the meeting: "Be vigilant and be prepared for the hardest battles!" ”
That night, the Southeastern Army strengthened its vigilance and lit more lights, and searchlights swept across the field from time to time, but no enemy stole the camp.
The next day, the brutal war continued, and the majestic Cairo New City once again ushered in a major test, only to see the smoke billowing above it, the surrounding killing sound was shocking, and countless large armies surrounded it, attacking on all sides.
The high walls were full of people crawling, and the Ottomans, who were rushing up regardless of the dead and wounded, shouted religious slogans and entered the state of berserkers, even if they were wounded, they would die on the heads of the Chinese!
Like ants, they rushed up like ants to attack, they climbed up the ladder desperately, regardless of the dead and wounded, minor and serious injuries, they did not get out of the line of fire, as long as they could move, they charged!
The firepower of the Southeast Army is on display!
The guns rang out in one go, the cannons rang out endlessly, and the bursts of cannonballs made the whole city explode like a fireworks, and the fire oil dropped even seemed to set the city on fire.
The enemy was swept away like the autumn wind, and a large number of Ottomans fell from the ladder, and they were on fire and wanted to climb the ladder!
Someone had to stop them, or the fire men would have burned their own ladders.
"Chong" The Ottomans launched a large wave of impact, like a pack of wolves that were not afraid of death and kept pounced, they broke through several sections of the outer wall of the Southeast Army, rushed to the wall, and launched a desperate battle with the Chinese, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable!
The formation of the southeast army was shaken, if it were not for the firepower on the inner city wall, which suppressed the Ottomans, the bombs used by the Chinese blew up the Ottomans who rushed to the city to scars, and some of them were all nailed to the face with steel balls, which looked extremely terrifying, but they still fought to the death!
The Southeast Army quickly mobilized reserves to counter-charge, Deputy Army Commander Hao Shaoqi personally led the charge of the team, the officers and soldiers with guns shouted and swarmed up, and the melee stabbed the enemy with guns, followed by fire guns and trolls, but the Ottomans fought fiercely with the Chinese even if they were shot, and they were still fighting until the last breath of their lives!
The South-Eastern Army urgently mobilized a large number of artillery to concentrate on the eastern side of the Ottoman breakthrough, firing artillery volleys, which imposed fire coverage on the enemy. The shelling made a deep impression on all the Ottomans, and the shotguns of the Southeastern Army rained down on the defenders' positions. For a time, steel and flames enveloped the enemy positions in the east, making them unable to follow-up, and the southeastern army was able to recapture the outer wall.
"It's finally settled!" Hao Shaoqi, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but exclaim: "With the Ottomans, the Tatars are simply children!" ”
He saw the corpses piling up all around, in many places higher than the battlements, and his soldiers were plunging their swords into the hearts of the enemies lying on the ground, whether they were dying or dead.
The enemy's resistance was too stubborn. I don't know how many times, when our soldiers walked past the half-dead Ottomans lying in a pool of blood, these guys, who were already in hell with one leg, suddenly jumped up from the pool of blood as if they had been given the power of their gods, and jumped down from the city with the bodies of the Chinese soldiers, and they all perished.
As for the other examples of battles that have returned to the light and shine, there are countless examples, obviously looking at them to death, but they are still powerless, but they still pounce, and they will go ahead of them if they are not careful, the southeast army taught the Ottomans a lesson with firepower, and the Ottomans also taught the Chinese a profound lesson, their spiritual will is really terrifying!
After much suffering, the soldiers of the South-East had developed a habit of mending every Ottoman lying on the ground to ensure that they could truly see their gods!
was resting, and suddenly a whistling sound flew in the air, Hao Shaoqi stared at it for three seconds, his face changed, and he shouted: "Get on the shield, enter the fortification!" ”
The officers and soldiers of the southeast were in a hurry to find cover for themselves as if they had blown up the battalion, and a moment later, with a loud bang, countless iron balls and steel nails swept across the city wall!
