Section 1096 The Siege War Five is in full swing
You're welcome!
The Ottomans concentrated their heavy forces on the attack, and every day, their army charged in a group, chanting slogans, braving the powerful fire of the Southeastern Army, and rushed to the new city of Cairo without sacrificing sacrifices.
In order to cover the attack, the Ottomans showed their firepower to the extreme! They used 400 guns to bombard Cairo New City incessantly, and the increase in artillery power was the result of Farhad Pasha's endless urging to the rear, and he collected a large number of artillery pieces and used them in the attack on Cairo New City.
The emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and the continuous shelling had a certain effect, and the walls of Cairo collapsed in many places, the stone walls were left with earth, and the brick walls collapsed, and there was no longer the previous brilliance.
In addition to the army, including the engineering troops, there are also tens of thousands of crazy migrant workers in the city!
They know the dangers of staying in the city, but they still stay in the city, although they have a lot of wages--- in fact, this is the main reason! But their devotion to their country is unparalleled.
With them in the city, some of the skilled plasterers encountered the damage of the city wall, and they actively worked --- paid a lot of money, repaired the city wall, and worked hard without fear of any danger.
Often in the evening, the new city of Luo was beaten everywhere, and when they woke up the next morning, they found that the damaged places had been repaired, and there was a feeling of refreshment, which gave the Ottomans a sense of powerlessness.
No amount of fighting could make Cairo's new city decadent, and it was able to maintain the intact structure of the city walls and not allow the Ottomans to take advantage of it.
The Ottomans used 200 trebuchets to throw fireballs and bombs, as well as panzergrenadiers to throw bombs, and the sky was full of smoke all day long, and the explosions were continuous, and the flames were blown up, and the iron bullets, stones and steel nails came to the fairies to scatter flowers, and they were everywhere!
The Southeast Army has also undergone a severe test, and a bomb that I don't know where it came from at any moment exploded among them, even if the whole body was full of protective gear, it was still blown up, and people near the explosion point were often blown up to the point of bleeding from their facial features, and some people were blinded by the explosion, and even blown away!
Coupled with the constant shooting of bows and arrows and muskets, ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and the sky was dark!
The Tufixie musketeers showed their might, armed with flintlock pistols, which they used to suppress the fire of the city and shoot at the people of the city, and they won many times!
These musketeers are hidden in the siege troops, making it difficult to spot them, while they shoot from time to time when the defenders are in sight.
With enough firepower, the Ottomans shouted and fought hard to storm the city, and they sometimes concentrated a large number of bombs to blow up the city, and then stormed the section of the wall, which was very threatening!
In such a harsh environment, the southeastern army was generally fully armored, and even its face was covered with pieces of leather to guard against projectiles flying in the sky, and they actively used various weapons to attack the Ottomans, not indiscriminately, but accurately attacked.
The Ottomans stormed the walls of Cairo on all sides!
Their forces seemed to be endless, forming a huge square iron hoop with guns and arrows and fire bombs all the time, encircling the new city of Cairo, the iron hoop slowly tightened, the besieged city felt more and more pressure, the battle was urgent, the southeastern army fought, stuck to every position, fought for their leader, for their own life, every time they fought back, so that the Ottomans had orphans, eyes and weeping.
The Ottomans were approaching in a frenzy, and there was an uproar in the city, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of gunpowder smoke and blood!
In the roar, a dense stream of bullets rushed in, and a rain of bullets poured down from all directions, making every step of progress extremely difficult. Knock them down in batches, but none of their wounded are in the line of fire, they still rush forward, and some of the wounded say this: We block a bullet for our comrades, and if we block one, the comrades behind will be more sure to capture the enemy city!
Advance!
With the tenacity of the southeastern army, the Ottomans have broken through the outer city wall several times, if it were not for the inner city wall, I am afraid that the Ottomans have broken through the city!
They formed a breakthrough with their will to fight, strength and firepower, the Southeast Army organized a death squad to launch a counter-charge towards the enemy, the two sides fought and fought in the narrow city, roaring like a cow, the sound of weapons clashing, the muffled sound of stabbing flesh and screams, shouts and the sound of gunfire that was not there at any time, formed the main theme on the battlefield!
A large group of people on both sides were entangled and rolling, and then the muskets and small cannons of the Southeast Army shot at them, not caring at all about whether they would be injured by mistake!
Famous generals have become the mainstay of the battlefield!
Hao Shaoqi, wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp axe, pounced into the crowd of Ottomans like hob meat, and it was easy to kill!
The big axe slashed indiscriminately, the hand started, the armor was flat, the blood was like a spring, and the heads fell to the ground one after another.
Under the protection of the knife and axe hands around him, and with the support of the musketeers with trolls and short guns in the back--- the enemy in front of him resisted stubbornly, and entangled with Hao Shaoqi, and when he couldn't take it, a shot flew from behind to send the enemy back to the west.
He is like a firefighter, who will go wherever there is danger and save the situation.
During the Cold Weapons period, the role of famous generals was great, and the Ottomans also had muskets, but their bullets could not penetrate Hao Shaoqi's armor.
Rao is like this, often every day, Hao Shaoqi also has to change his armor, but he is broken by the enemy, which shows the fierceness of the battle.
Li Laiheng is also capable of fighting, but he has not been involved in close combat for the time being, this is a military order from the military department, so as to avoid shaking the whole army if he dies prematurely, and the battle will not continue.
Of course, in the event that the enemy breaks through the city, he will also have to go into battle and fight with all his strength.
He was calm and composed, and every day he was on the city wall to boost morale, and at night he visited the wounded and encouraged the officers and soldiers to fight hard.
Driven by the generals, the Southeast Army exerted great combat effectiveness, and the enemy killed them, beat them down, and let them die as many as they came!
However, the Ottomans entered a state of unprecedented turbulence. The flames of revenge burned their hearts. Even the thousands of comrades who fell at their feet every day could not stop their progress, and they stormed the walls with all their might, leaving many sections of the walls of Cairo New City lost and regained, and the corpses piled up higher than the battlements!
Blood is spilled, life is withered!
The fierce fighting lasted for ten days, and the Ottomans suffered more than 80,000 casualties, which is a staggering number.
The corpses were taken down and sent to a distant valley for burial, where blood was sprinkled all the way, condensed into purple and black, and the road became ugly and bloody, which the Ottomans called "Blood Road"!
The Southeast Army also suffered 20,000 casualties and more than 6,000 casualties, and many of the lightly wounded consciously returned to the front line, even if they were loaded with ammunition, knowing that the war was tight!
Twelve days later, the fierce battle came to an abrupt end!
