Chapter 2038: It's good to build mountains
"The Ottomans attacked Constantinople, and 90,000 people fought 9,000 people. They have been fighting for 56 days. The current Baotou guy is far from the end of the world. Let's continue fighting!" Yan Changwu snorted coldly, and he ordered The troops paid close attention to the earthen hills, and first built the earthen hills along the western wall of Istanbul and laid their feet.
Then pile the Tushan mountain towards Constantinople, with high against high, with strong against strong, and at the same time, in the process of advancing, the vital force of killing Baotou guys!
"Battle is the most boring, and I have to judge the star of the battle every day, and I will issue a gold medal!" Yan Changwu summoned the commanders of the army and gave instructions: "For those who are not able to attack the city, they will be severely punished. , One progress a day! I want to enter Istanbul as soon as possible!" Yan Changwu said, tirelessly.
The attack on the Ottoman Empire is a rare case in the history of human warfare. After occupying Egypt and Syria, Yan Changwu did not focus on the capture of Baotou’s Anatolia (Asia Minor). Instead, he marched along the coast and went straight to Istanbul. The idea was that after the capture of Istanbul, the Ottoman Empire would naturally end.
Now that he has arrived in Istanbul, Yan Changwu will never allow his achievements to fall short. This is a blasphemy against the fallen soldiers!
The generals were awe-inspiring and unanimously led.
Then the army commanders draw lots and draw a sequence of siege, the smaller the number, the higher the priority.
One by one, there were a total of six armies. The result was Li Chengdong 1, Zeng Ying 2, Zuo Menggeng 3, Zu Kefa 4, He Zhen 5, and finally Li Laiheng. The army commander laughed and said: "Your old man Hao ( (Waving the flag) If you don't come, you won't be screaming if you are lucky!"
At the beginning, the army drew lots to decide who as a partial division to march on the west bank of the Marmara Sea. Li Laiheng sent Lao Hao to draw lots, and the lot was drawn.
Li Laiheng laughed at himself: "I have to ask my old Hao, what is the latest lottery number!"
Another surnamed Li became the big winner. Li Chengdong was blessed by the king. He was lucky. First, he went down to Osman Fort within five days, and now he started as a siege!
He immediately stated: "Resolutely take down Istanbul and not allow other commanders to take advantage of it! The commanders of our army are all in front of the command, the commander goes to the division, the division commander goes to the regiment, and the regiment commander goes to the company. Gong, vow not to accept soldiers!"
The southeast army deployed to the west with two armies attacking the city at the same time. Another Zeng Ying who attacked the city with him also made the same statement.
...
Li Chengdong returned to his Sixth Army. As soon as he entered the commanding account, the generals eagerly asked, "How is it?"
He proudly said: "Very good! Our army becomes a siege vanguard!"
Suddenly, all the officers cheered!
They are definitely not the first brothers. The siege is cruel. When attacking the city, even if the firepower is very strong, no matter how spectacular the scene in the wilderness and how big the equipment is, the power is still limited. The stone of the catapult can smash the city wall in all kinds of holes, but it has been hit for more than a month and still cannot smash the thick brick-clad earthen wall.
The heavy blow of the Yicheng cannon sometimes works, but it may encounter extremely cold street fighting.
Cannonballs, bombs, slingshots, crossbows, arrows, and stone fireballs are just a prelude. In the end, it is a hand-to-hand battle between people. At this time, the officer takes the lead in the charge. There are many uncertain factors in the battle and the danger exists.
But they have no hesitation, just want to fight a tough battle, use me in the first battle, use me to win!
However, Li Chengdong was very cautious. He said to the officers: "Everyone, this battle is different from the past. The enemy relies on fairly strong fortifications. The city walls are high and thick. Even the Iraqi guns are not easy to penetrate. Our troops I’ve never encountered it in the past, and it’s more difficult to tackle tough issues. I suggest that our four military positions should go off and the three deputy commanders should each be divided into areas to attack. As a reserve team, once the attack is favorable, I will make preparations. What do you think of the team going into battle?"
The three deputy commanders of the Sixth Army, Yan Tian, Yang Yanchang, and Hu Yiqing nodded deeply in agreement and said, "Just do what the commander said!"
The current enemy is not trivial. They are committed to holding on to Istanbul. The original ancient city wall is high and thick. Baotou has worked hard to repair it to make it stronger. They used this barrier to build many high fort bunkers on the city wall. , Deployed a large number of artillery, muskets and catapults.
Relying on these strong fortifications and superior forces, Baotou thought it was difficult for the pagans in the east to break through, and dreamed of being able to block the attack of the Southeast Army.
It was not an ordinary battle, but an unprecedented battle. Therefore, the Sixth Army formulated the strategy of "tack the tough and advance in the face of difficulties", not only to attack the city wall with all its strength, but also to keep the soldiers' lives and reduce casualties as much as possible.
Parallel, the two Chinese armies return to Yan Changwu’s command. Yan Changwu’s sacred theory is to not only win the victory, but also pay attention to the safety of the soldiers. It was naturally impossible to do before, but now due to the tremendous increase in the firepower of the Southeast Army, it is completely effective. It's possible.
"All ministries must do a good job of fortifications, and all siege personnel must wear foot armor. Anyone who dares to violate the combat regulations will take them to clean the toilet! The medical and nursing forces are in place, and I will catch this personally!" Li Chengdong said without any doubt.
Li Chengdong, who was born in the Mingshan thief army and joined the former Ming army, did not care about the lives of officers and soldiers before, but in the two Chinese armies, the comparison of the indicators of killing the enemy and the casualties of the army has been implemented~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The data is clear at a glance, As soon as Datian listened, he was very aware of the casualties of the army.
He sees the Tushan attack, which is to pile the dirt mountain on the side of the enemy's city wall to attack the fortification!
The method is stupid, but effective, because the Southeast Army has sufficient manpower.
When building a mountain of dirt, you can use firepower to attack the blocking enemy. This is a "hammer-anvil" tactic. Our army is a hammer and constantly hits the Baotou guy.
When Li Chengdong arrived at the front line, the first order he gave was to pile the earth mountain from 15 to 20 meters!
Pile when you have time, fast pile!
Hurry up!
The migrant workers and even the soldiers piled up the mountains. For the convenience of taking soil, they also picked up the track from the back of the camp and used the track car to transport the soil.
Everyone rushed on, pushing a small pile of trucks, carrying sand bags, holding shovel and baskets, the dust was flying, Li Chengdong let people sprinkle water, and did a show of earthwork for a while.
He was in the north to the west of Istanbul, and Zeng Ying was in the south. When he looked sideways, he couldn't help laughing.
Zeng Ying is also building up the earth mountain!
Good heap!
Such high soil mountains are infinitely useful and useful for sniping. Put cannons and catapults on them to fight farther and more lethality!
The earth mountain is not only piled high, but also piled forward, piled forward, toward the city wall!
The Baotou guys would never sit and wait for death. Their catapult sent rocks towards the hills, and some stones hit the hills accurately, smashing the people above them down from a height of more than ten meters!
The Southeast Army’s catapult immediately launched a counterattack, throwing kerosene bombs at the enemy's catapult. Not long after, several columns of continuous smoke rose in the city, and Baotou’s catapult was hit!
