Section 1098 Siege Six Joys

The Ottomans camped for dozens of miles, tents one after another, some of which were small and single-occupied, and some of which were large enough for a party to be held in them, and a riot suddenly broke out in a continuous tent area in the northeast corner of the city!

People were jumping around, their faces frightened, and some of them shouted at the tent: "Come out inside, get out of here!" ”

The voice is panicked and chaotic!

Hearing the news, Mahmad hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

A grizzled officer cried and said, "We dug a tunnel, and accidentally dug into the underground water, and the groundwater suddenly overflowed, and many people drowned in the earth!" ”

Mahmad's face darkened when he heard this, this is the third time!

On a piece of land between the barracks and the city, it suddenly subsided, causing the defenders at the head of the city to burst into laughter!

Among them, a Cantonese said: "Rolling soup and rats, every litter is dead!" ”

The soldiers laughed again, but the Ottomans were discouraged, frightened, frustrated, and helpless.

The Ottoman army has a lot of manpower, and it uses some personnel to dig tunnels, and if they want to dig into the new city of Cairo, whether it is a sneak attack or planting gunpowder to blow up the city, there is a great chance.

But the evil door of the special M, repeatedly dug out of the water, buried hundreds of people in it, for the behemoths of the Ottomans did not touch much, but for the morale of a great blow, after all, there is no gunpowder, the offensive slowed down, want to dig tunnels and water, it seems that the city is difficult to break!

Digging tunnels is a trick that anyone who has a little experience in defending the city, who doesn't understand? The tunnels are narrow, and there are a hundred ways to defend against them.

Unless the guards are completely inexperienced and were caught off guard, but it is obvious that everyone is a veteran general, and it is impossible to hide from them by digging tunnels into the city.

Want to blow up the city?

The Ottomans had no idea that the Chinese had been doing business in Cairo for more than ten years, and they had taken great pains to choose the site of Cairo's new city, where the city was located on a rocky site, and the surrounding area was a diving area, and it was easy to get water by digging tunnels.

There may still be ways to get water that is not easy to enter, but it is not easy to find.

The Ottoman army couldn't help but mutter, and some religious believers even preached, "I heard that the goddess believed by the Chinese is very effective, and there are very few Chinese ships in distress at sea, and she blesses them!" ”

When such words spread, everyone talked about it, and Farhad Pasha said sternly: "Our gods are true gods, and the rest are false gods!" ”

"For those who talk strange things, they should be dealt with as the crime of 'rebelling against the army' and beheaded for public display!" The officers conveyed his orders, which calmed down public opinion.

The Ottomans ran out of gunpowder for a time, and they relied mainly on camels for the transport of gunpowder, which dragged the long queue through the desert in a hurry, and the camels were pleasantly belled, and the amount of gunpowder that was transported in five days was not enough to be fired the day before.

Farhad Pasha was in a hurry, he received an order from Istanbul!

Due to the protracted war and the inability to quickly take the city of Cairo, a large number of troops piled up in Cairo, and the influence began to ferment.

There is a change in the red hair in Europe!

The local forces in the various regions were ready to move, and they did not dare to speak out against the Ottoman Empire for the time being, but it was still possible to make small moves, such as not paying money and food on time, refusing to send troops, and so on.

Rumors abound in the city of Istanbul, pointing the finger at the ruling Empress Dowager Kosem Sultan, who was incompetent, incapable of governing the country, and the army's inability to counterattack Egypt, causing shame on the Ottoman Empire!

Therefore, the instructions sent by the city of Istanbul were strongly worded, asking him to take the city of Cairo quickly, otherwise he would be severely punished!

The undercurrents of the Ottoman court were linked to the political fate of Farhad Pasha once Koseme Sultan fell.

He called a meeting of the officers and said to them: "Without gunpowder, there can be no war?" ”

"They have gunpowder, we have God!" Farhad Pasha commanded his army to launch a massive assault on the new city of Cairo!

As soon as the words were spoken, bullets, bombs, and firebolts rained down like a torrent of bullets, and the Ottomans shouted their god's cry with a great dampene.

The explosion sounded intensively, like the Chinese New Year firecrackers, and everyone's ears were filled with a rolling roar like thunder, and they couldn't stop it!

Some ignorant people think that the Chinese goddess is raining down the thunder of her own anger.

Exploding flames rose under the city. Dozens or hundreds of bombing points appeared at the same time, and the smoke and burning flames made the Xiongcheng more powerful, as if the goddess blessed it.

There was no time interval between large and small flashes, like a torrential rain washing the ground, even if the bomb was filled with black powder, it was dazzling even during the day, like countless meteors falling from the nine heavens and exploding in the Ottomans.

They are iron bullets, steel nails, and glass!

The Southeastern Army "extravagantly" and "creatively" loaded glass shards into bombs, they were sharper than the scythe of death, and reaped life with impunity!

The glass shards are even more difficult to prevent, as long as you cut the skin of the dew and cut it, the blood will flow down, and you can't stop it no matter what!

Even a small grain of glass slag can hurt a lot of blood!

If you get in the eye, you can't be saved!

In the East, the Chinese made glass a cabbage price, while in the Middle East and the West, glass was still valuable, so the Ottomans couldn't learn anything they wanted.

The Ottoman officers and soldiers had tried their best to protect themselves, but to no avail, the explosion caused them to be bloodied, and their wailing and crying never stopped.

They were completely stunned by the unheard-of attack, and the momentum of the attack became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped!

Supporting the wounded comrades-in-arms to retreat in embarrassment, the Chinese in the city were jubilant: if there is a kind, come again!

I'm not afraid that he will come more, but I'm afraid that he will come less, and I am most afraid that he won't come!

Farhad Pasha went violent, he was ruthless, he and Ghazi, Charari and Mahmoud attacked four gates, set up a team of overseers, and those who dared to retreat were killed!

He took matters into his own hands and killed three deserters in a row.

Driven by the ruthless force of military law, the Ottomans attacked again, chanting slogans to cheer themselves up, and using their flesh and blood to shake the enemy's bullets.

Batches of people rushed in, groups were knocked down, blown up, and burned to the ground, but they still rushed forward, so the southeastern army was fierce, and with dense firepower, killed 30,000 Ottoman men in one day!

At the end of the night, the corpses under the city were piled up to a height of more than a person, and the undead wriggled among the corpses, and the bloody breath even made the Chinese on the city wall dizzy.

I have never seen so many people die, and such a hideous battlefield is really gratifying! 8)
