【Chapter 811】The sound of gunfire in Mulu City
(0811)
Rosalind has made some special arrangements so that when the news of the defeat comes, she can more effectively control the situation in the kingdom of Yuejie. She ordered the Praetorian Guard to impose martial law in the city of Samarkand, strictly prohibiting the spread of unverified gossip.
However, unease permeated the whole of Samarkand. Many lords and ministers, while panicking, secretly sent their henchmen to detect the movements of the white-clothed army and collect relevant information about the white-clothed army.
Like the Kingdom of Khorasan, the rule of the Yue Kingdom was actually relatively loose. The queen, nominally the supreme ruler of the kingdom, is actually not very powerful. At least, not as powerful as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The queen must be supported by the powerful ministers and lords in order to hold real power. Otherwise, only a small part of the power will be controlled.
Previously, due to the pressure of the Ottoman Empire, most of the vassals and lords were loyal to Rosalind. Therefore, the situation in the kingdom is, in general, quite stable. Even if someone is occasionally unconvinced, they don't dare to show it obviously.
However, with the arrival of the White Army, that all changed. Some of the powerful ministers and lords undoubtedly showed signs of vacillation. This means that the queen's rule is no longer so solid. Especially those ministers and lords who had opposed Rosalind in the first place, jumping up and down, not to mention how active they were.
The situation outside the palace is worse. The situation inside the palace was just as bad. Those beautiful goddess officials all seemed a little nervous, and often looked absent-minded. Even Rosalind's henchwoman felt panicked. They were all very worried that if the White Army arrived, they would be liquidated.
There is indeed a lot of gossip circulating outside, saying that there is everything. Many gossips describe Xu Xingxia as the reincarnation of a hellish demon, the most murderous existence. And the rest of the White Army is just as murderous. If these beautiful young women fall into the hands of the white-clothed army, their fate can be imagined.
The kingdom's armies are also showing signs of instability. Several of the kingdom's generals who hold real power have been unable to recover from illness recently. It is a small miracle that so many generals are sick together. However, Rosalind had no intention of pursuing it. In fact, she also has no ability to hold accountable. Unless the Sultan has his own soldiers to help her.
"Forget it, let them go!" Rosalind said helplessly.
It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, these are all things that can't be stopped. The root cause of everything is actually here in the white army. As long as the White Army is victorious, no matter what measures she takes, it will be impossible to turn the situation around. In that case, it's better to go with the flow. As for her own fate, it is not her turn to decide.
Since Rosalind didn't have a clear attitude, Yue, that is, the other ministers and lords, became more and more unscrupulous. They even set up a committee to welcome the White Army, and prepared to welcome the arrival of the White Army in the name of this committee when the White Army arrived. In the beginning, the committee was still underground, but after a few days, it was transferred to the ground, and more and more ministers and lords applied to join.
The vassals and lords of the Tsukibean kingdom were already accustomed to oscillating between the East and the West. For them, whether they seek refuge in the east or in the west, there is no big problem. Occasionally, they would take refuge in their north. No matter who they are, they are all needed for them. Therefore, they are very calm.
……
After the chaser troops led by Zhang Nai entered the Kingdom of Khorasan, they quickly got in touch with the henchmen sent by Sawanna. They were arranged to be stationed in a secret valley. In the Kingdom of Khorasan, there are millions of such inconspicuous valleys, and it is impossible for outsiders to know without very accurate information.
Sawanna was really unkind in front of Zhang Nai. The relationship between her and Xu Xingxia is a bit special, and Zhu Yilan's side has acquiesced. The white-clothed army is not very familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, and must have a commander who is familiar with the local situation. Therefore, this time, the operation of the white-clothed army in the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions was mainly commanded by her, the head snake.
Zhang Nai said bluntly: "Your Majesty, if there is any difficult task, you can arrange us as much as possible!" We will definitely try to get it done! ”
Sawanna happily said, "You have come at the right time, I am about to get rid of someone. This person is Mathatini's henchman, and he must be cut off in advance! ”
She quickly assigned a mission to Zhang Nai. The person she wanted to get rid of was called Charlotte, who turned out to be the count of the Kingdom of Khorasan, in charge of the military affairs of the Kingdom of Khorasan. At the time of the coup d'état, he was actively involved in it.
When Sawana returned to the Kingdom of Khorasan, the first thing she did was to cut off Mashadini's right-hand man. Previously, she had successfully assassinated Fetro. However, due to the impact of Fitro's death, Charlotte strictly strengthened her own security protection, and with Sawanna's previous forces, she could not complete the mission.
Zhang Nai said solemnly: "I must complete the task!" ”
That night, Zhang Nai led the chasers to carry out the clearing mission.
The one responsible for leading the way for the chaser warriors was none other than Huyan Aobo. During this time, he has been monitoring Charlotte, and it can be said that he knows Charlotte's situation well. Several times, Huyan Aobo made a move against Charlotte, but he was unable to do it and had to give up. Now, Zhang Nai's arrival is here, and the opportunity to do it is immediately ripe.
According to Huyan Aobo, Charlotte was surrounded by about 3,000 Khorasan guards. In this eventful season, Charlotte certainly didn't dare to joke with her own life. As he was in charge of military affairs, he naturally arranged the largest number of guards to his side as much as possible. Even, there were not as many guards around Marthatini as him.
Fitro's death was a big blow to Charlotte. Idiots can see that this is Savanna's counterattack. After Sawana came back with the remnants of the White Army, it was absolutely impossible for those of them who had hurt Sawana to stay out of the matter. Sawanna's butcher's knife was already raised high, and it was time to cut it down.
However, Charlotte thought that with 3,000 guards and a very small number of assassins around her, it was impossible to kill her. Therefore, he is not very nervous about his own life. He believes that the strength around Sawanna is still very weak for the time being. Unless it's the arrival of a large force of the White Army.
He forgot only one thing.
The white-clothed army of 300 people is definitely not a few!
The three hundred chasseurs led by Zhang Nai were fully armed and had a strong ability to attack fortifications. The ammunition they carry is also quite sufficient. They even carried five mortars. These mortars, in terms of attacking fortifications, are simply all-encompassing weapons of destruction.
Charlotte's residence is a prismatic castle, almost the size of Fort Willtown. On top of the fortress, a large number of artillery pieces are installed, and a large number of sentries are constantly monitoring the outside. The castle was so tightly defended that it could be described as a small fortress. Of course, no royal palace is strong.
Five mortars were quickly erected.
"Fire!"
Zhang Nai decisively ordered.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Shells were discharged one after another.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A violent explosion came from the top of the fortress.
There were three mortar shells, which landed exactly on the top of the city, and exploded in unison.
The entire fortress was suddenly in chaos. The troops at the head of the city were blown up by shells, and their flesh and blood were scattered, and they were miserable. The rest of the defenders hurriedly hid behind the battlements. As a result, the second round of shelling by the whites came again. There was a loud rumbling bang, and the city became even more embarrassed, and some of the cannons were blown away.
The rate of fire of the mortar is quite fast. In a short period of time, the white-clothed army fired hundreds of shells at the city, completely blowing up the city beyond recognition, and all the defenders were either killed or wounded. The reinforcements that appeared behind did not dare to come up to the city at all.
The fighters of the demolition team took the opportunity to step forward, placed the explosives bag in front of the fort gate, and lit the fuse. In total, they piled up ninety pounds of black sokin explosives.
"Boom!"
A moment later, an earth-shattering bang was heard, and the gate of the fort was blown open.
The defenders who were hiding behind the fort gate were all wiped out in the violent explosion.
The soldiers of the chasseurs took the opportunity to swarm and easily entered the city. The defenders, who had been blown up, had no resistance at all.
After arriving in the castle, Zhang Nai and the others were not in a hurry. Charlotte is already a turtle in an urn, and she can't escape if she wants to. They had to capture each other alive as much as they could. Sure enough, after half an hour of firefighting, the Chasseurs successfully captured Charlotte alive.
……
Hearing the sound of gunfire outside the palace, Marthatini's face became paler and paler. Since the news of the defeat of the Ottoman Emperor [***] team came, the entire Mulu City seemed to have an undercurrent, the situation was not right, and it was extremely dangerous. At this time, inside Mulu City, there was actually the sound of gunfire! Could it be that the white-clothed army is coming?
The situation was quickly clarified, but it was Charlotte's residence that was attacked, and Charlotte's whereabouts were unknown. Martha Tini's heart suddenly sank rapidly. At this time, Charlotte's whereabouts are unknown, which is definitely not a good sign!
There is no doubt that this is Sawanna demonstrating to her. The only ones who could use guns and artillery in Mulu City were the troops of the White Army. And the only one who has this ability to dominate the white-clothed army is Savanna. Therefore, Mathatini was anxious and angry, but helpless. The white-clothed army has already killed Mulu City, what else can she do?
