Chapter 504: The Fall of the Ottomans
After the last time the Ottoman military minister Hill did it, the baggage line of the great empire on which the sun never sets can almost be said to have been dragged down by the Ottoman poisonous steppe.
What does the army rely on to fight? Provisions, of course! So where does the sun never set come from for the sustenance of the army? Of course, it was transported from the logistical areas set up in the Iliba Basin and the Yatdarang Mountains. But no matter how the sun never sets on the logistics troops, they must pass through the "livestock dead land" created by the Ottoman military minister Hill himself.
Everyone knows that it is impossible to transport a huge number of baggage to the front line where hundreds of thousands of troops are located by manpower alone, unless there is a powerful force like the sun does not set, it used nearly a hundred kodo beasts with their mouths sealed to transport 40 No. 3 counterweight trebuchets and the stones required by these counterweight trebuchets to the front line, and then directly kill all these kodo beasts: after all, the meat of kodo beasts is edible, although the taste is not good, but it is still a good dish after roasting it with spices produced by the great empire of the sun, At least it's much better than those wild vegetable soups. So since these Kodo beasts are going to die, of course, they must squeeze out all their use value before or after their deaths, and by the way, this theory is not proposed by Sun Lin, but the general Bobby of the cavalry on which the sun never sets.
But just the transportation of the Sunset Horse Guild and the Sunset Treasury can be said to be nerve-wracking, because the Sunset Horse Guild has only cultivated about 1,000 Kodo beasts until now, and the Sunset Treasury has spent more than one million gold coins for this, not to mention, just cultivating these treasures and misappropriating the development funds of the Northwest Continent of the Sunset, resulting in the loss caused by the inability to effectively develop some areas at present is enough to make Sun Lin's heart ache, Now, with the fact that the foot army was on the side in order to lure the Helgen reindeer cavalry, it can be seen how determined Sun Lin was to capture the Ottoman Imperial City, which led to the king's inland sea, and expand the name of the navy from the outer sea to the inland sea.
Now, because the Ottoman Imperial City has entered the last stage, and at this moment the Ottoman side has shown a decadent trend, and at the same time in the territory of the Ottoman Empire, the Helgen army is now being chased by the 11th Cavalry Regiment on which the sun never sets, so as long as it is a normal person, it is impossible for his side to suffer any losses at the last moment, after all, there is a famous saying in the original world that says: Bringing the troops back after victory can be said to be a double victory. Therefore, it is impossible for Sun Lin to sacrifice a group of Kodommon to transport the baggage to the front line (the reason why the sun does not set does not use oxen or horses to transport supplies, in addition to the poor consignment ability of these creatures, the most important thing is that Kodomons have several stomach belts for their loads, just like camels, so that they can store a lot of energy and water in their stomachs before departure, so that Kodomons can complete the journey from the Yatdarang Mountains to the Ottoman Imperial City without drinking water and food).
Obviously, the stones consigned by 80 Kodo beasts are not enough for the consumption of 30 No. 3 counterweight trebuchets, because the steel design of the No. 3 counterweight trebuchet makes these counterweight trebuchets do not need to be careful about the wear of Werther, which lasted for more than a day, and the trebuchets can of course throw the stones consigned by Kodo beasts to the number of only a few carts left, and at the same time, the arrows on the waists of the foot cavalry have long been exhausted, after all, these foot cavalry have attacked the cities before, The arrows that had been allocated to them by the army had already been used up, and the baggage troops were not able to transport them to the front after the Battle of Nirja, and in fact the arrows of the arrows in the hands of these foot cavalry were either from arrows that had been used several times before, and were reused after being recycled with stones that had been slightly worn out before and reused, or from those Gallia crossbowmen or various Ottoman towns and castles.
On the other hand, on the Ottoman side, the Ottomans, who have the only golden river channel leading to the King's Inland Sea in the northwest region of the Central Continent, can obviously use this river channel to continuously transport supplies to the soldiers guarding the imperial city from elsewhere, so the war of attrition is actually not the Ottoman side that is surrounded and the territory has been swallowed up by the army that never sets, but the side on which the sun never sets, especially those Cuman soldiers, because these Cuman soldiers can be said to be miserable without arrows and horses.
The only thing to be thankful for is that although Sun Lin did not let the Dick axe, who was considered the strongest of all the foot warriors after the foot battle, participate in the battle of the Ottoman Imperial City, but he left behind the walking battlefield order that can be said to never break away and the foot English knights with two-handed war hammers, these 30,000 troops were led by Sun Lin and three senior members of the Sunset Army to guard the gates of the west, north and south walls of the Ottoman Imperial City. This situation made the Ottoman side quite taboo, so that before the arrival of the elite heavy siege regiment of the Empire that day, Sun Lin's worst plan - the Ottoman soldiers guarding the city under the leadership of Nuhar poured out to disrupt their own arrangements did not happen, which is also the best news in the battle of the Ottoman Imperial City.
And with the sun never setting on the elite hoplite generals, the Ottoman Imperial City finally became Sun Lin's bag.
"Whole army, attack!" In addition to the 20,000 orc warriors, this elite heavy army also has 10,000 strong Mishaal heavy axemen and 20,000 heavy swordsmen. Needless to say, these orcs captured from the interior of the Ancient Continent were all trained by the slave owners of the Sunset, which can be said to be obedient to the officers who were scattered in the army, plus the opportunity to break away from the slaves and become the third-class citizens of the Sunset Empire, as long as none of these orcs had multiple IQs, they all knew what this meant; And the 10,000 Mishaal heavy axemen are all composed of veterans who guarded Reykjavik City, and they have experience in fighting werewolf warriors, how can they not be able to defeat these Ottoman hoplites who have no plate armor on their bodies but only heavy chain mail, and no Uzi steel knives and stainless steel round shields in their hands, only iron shields and ordinary steel knives? As for the most formal heavy swordsman who never sets, equipped with the heavy plate armor forged by the craftsman who never sets and the weapons forged by the Mo forging craftsman, coupled with the swordsmanship honed by the heavy swordsman from childhood to fight, it is not something that ordinary Ottoman soldiers can fight against.
Under the command of the 3 officers who never set the sun, the 50,000 elites of the sun did not set under the cover of the 30,000 sunset hoplite cavalry and 10,000 longbowmen, began to move towards the interior of the Ottoman Imperial City, the city wall on the river that established the western region of the continent in the king's inland sea, at this moment has long been reduced to ruins under the projectile of the previous sunset No. 3 counterweight trebuchet, although the Ottoman soldiers still resist with the help of some of the remaining counterweight trebuchets and ballistae with the help of some sections of the city wall or half-collapsed towers that have stood so far. But apparently this simply could not stop the march of the army on which the sun never sets.
Although there are more than 100,000 defenders in the city, the Ottoman soldiers who can really be regarded as heavy troops are no more than 30,000 at most, because the previous raid of the cavalry army has inadvertently dismantled all the heavy troops of the Ottoman Empire. For tens of thousands of heavily armed Sunset Knights, the number of knights can be regarded as a pitiful reason, and this is also the reason why all the Ottoman Empire was so easily captured by Sunset. As for the Ottoman heavy troops, why was it divided into small groups by Nuhar and guarded in various areas, and it was not because of the previous flow of refugees from the United Kingdom of Helgen?
And with the heavy soldiers who never set, plus the Wuda allowed by Sun Lin to lead a group of Cumans into this large city, it didn't take long for the city to rise billowing black smoke, and countless people's screams, children's cries, and women's screams came from the city, but for these voices, as the commander of the army on which the sun never sets, he is now walking towards the city along the broken stone road of the Ottoman Imperial City, but it can be said that he is deaf to this, or Sun Lin himself does not care about these voices at all.
Because Sun Lin knew that he was not only the head of an army, but also the ruler of the empire on which the sun never set, it was better to care more about those soldiers who were tired and tired in front for their own desires than to care about these Ottomans who did not surrender to him, so after so many siege battles, Sun Lin gradually understood the so-called true purpose of letting soldiers enter the city to burn, kill and loot - to appease the hearts of the army.
After all, for these soldiers who are crawling on the line of life and death all day long, they need a place to vent after each battle, and as for the impact on the people's hearts in the conquered areas of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, Sun Lin doesn't care about these because of the impact on the people in the conquered areas of the Great Empire on which the sun never sets. Could it be that gaining the hearts and minds of those dispensable people will allow you to have more elite soldiers like those in front of you? Obviously, it's certainly impossible for the time being. And Sun Lin has hundreds of means to make the nations and races in those conquered areas obey the words of the great empire in the future, so the so-called loss of people's hearts is only temporary for Sun Lin, as for Sun Lin, he is cold-blooded, please, he will succeed in ten thousand bones, not to mention the power of the king who is famous in the entire king continent and a huge empire?
"Your Majesty, Nuhar committed suicide when the city gate tower was broken by our soldiers, and now his head is stored in the hands of Prince Udha." When Sun Lin came to the city gate, a Cuman soldier with a somewhat crazy look on his face trotted in front of Sun Lin and said, coupled with the saber in his hand that was not only full of blood, but also had a trace of minced meat, it is estimated that there were many Ottomans who died in the hands of this Cuman before.
"Oh? Is it? Then you go and tell Uda to hang that head in front of the palace......... By the way, the raiding order will expire tomorrow when the sun comes out, and I don't want to see anyone die in the imperial city at that time. ”
"It's Your Majesty!"
