Chapter 2052: Zhuangxing wine
Forty days of siege!
In this period, the Southeast Army's attack on Istanbul lasted for a month, and the Tushan Mountain leaned against the wall.
The eight earthen hills piled up against the walls of Istanbul. Soldiers can climb the mountain calmly and straighten the walls of Istanbul, which means that there is no need to use fragile ladders and long ladders to climb the city, thus greatly reducing casualties.
If the Chinese really used the means of infrastructural madness, it would be just half a month from the earth mountain to the wall.
After fighting around the Tushan Mountain, the Southeast Army was not in a hurry to break the city, but patiently fought for ten days, repeatedly attacking, feigning attacks, using firepower to continuously invade Baotou guys, constantly stimulating Baotou guys.
The key is to kill the Baotou guys and avoid entering the street fighting in advance.
This kind of battle is controllable, and there are no bullets. The Southeast Army first went to the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army to fight for three weeks. Now the Fifth Army and the Eighth Army are fighting for forty days. , How many people died in the Southeast Army and Baotou Lao?
Baotou guys were killed more than 100,000 people, and the wounded are countless!
How many people died in the Southeast Army?
Less than ten thousand people!
Who fought hard?
Cannon fodder rushes forward!
The Imperial Union Army who participated in the battle killed and injured tens of thousands of people. Asan alone killed 30,000 in the battle. However, their casualties will not appear in the newspapers of the Southeast, and their deeds are even harder to trace. What even the people of Daming saw was that their leader and the Southeast Army were invincible, invincible, and losing a small glorious image!
The people are very satisfied, because their children did not have much casualties and gained so much benefit.
The servant nations are also very satisfied with the Imperial Army, because their lives are worthless. The southeast nations recruited their citizens to be mercenaries and gave generously. A lot of silver dollars flowed into the servant king's court, and the people could also share their profits. Higher pay for working in the country.
As for the danger?
There is no danger wherever it is. It is even more dangerous in the country. It is not enough to eat. People generally do not live long. For example, people in the Japanese country usually eat one meal a day. White rice is called silver relic, which shows its preciousness. , White rice is all you can eat!
The Japanese exploited the people very harshly. Even if there was Chinese trade, the people would only get some benefits, and the income of joining the Imperial Army was much higher than the domestic wages, and they could get enough food.
The situation in other countries is the same. Therefore, when the southeast countries recruited cannon fodder from the servant countries, they got good soldiers from that country. The officers of the southeast countries who went to those countries to recruit soldiers said with satisfaction: "When recruiting, every country has the ancient Chinese ancient history. Qin Feng!"
The ancient Qin people were happy when they heard the war. When Han Feizi went to Qin, he saw: "Qin people slammed their feet, guilty of hand-to-hand blows, smashed the coals, and died in the former. Both are the same. It's different, and it's more expensive for the people to die." Qin was shocked by the way the people of Qin were happy after hearing the battle and were brave enough to die.
Similarly, the people of the servant countries enthusiastically signed up to join the Imperial Army, and their enthusiasm was high.
They do not play sloppy when accepting orders, do not refuse to go to the line of fire, and they even hope that the war will last longer!
As long as there is a battle, they can get more appearance fees ---going to the battlefield will give bonuses, and if they fight well, they will be rewarded more. The Southeast Army strictly honors them.
But they were destined to be disappointed, because the Southeast Army found that Baotou had run out of gunpowder and bows and arrows, and the source of troops was scarce. Sometimes even Ah San wandered on the opponent's wall --- Baotou's reserve team did not arrive. Can't drive them off yet.
Yes, the time is right, this is the time for the total attack!
Yan Changwu made an appearance and came to the front line in person---distance one kilometer!
The reason why he didn't go to the city was because of the strong demands of the senior officers, they absolutely disagreed that at the end of this unprecedented war and the key to a full victory, Supreme had an accident, which led to failure!
"Your Majesty, everyone is counting on you to implement the hats on their heads, if they can't share the pork..." Chief of the General Staff Mr. David admonished Yan Changwu on behalf of the officers. Yan Changwu followed kindness, just far away from the enemy city. One kilometer away is a strong army, and the standing position is under a low slope, and the enemy can't see him.
He laughed at himself: "A certain family is as timid as a mouse! It is true that the older the rivers and lakes, the smaller the courage!"
Even so, no one will BS him at all. Underestimating him, everyone takes it for granted, that's what they want to do!
The army surrounded it all around, not to mention Baotou, and even the imperial Union army on the periphery did not allow them to face Yan Changwu to ensure that accidents could not happen.
If Yan Changwu has any shortcomings, I'm afraid the army will go crazy!
Yan Changwu is wearing the army uniform of the Southeast Army with a large cap on his head. His cap badge, shoulder plate, collar badge, and ribbon are all golden. He does not wear armor and stands on a wooden platform only one meter high. The taller the platform should be, the better. The etiquette of the emperor requires at least three levels, but the officers unanimously agree that a one-meter-high platform is suitable, which shows how extreme these guys are!
He stood straight and strong, while the officers and soldiers were cheerful and enthusiastic.
No need to talk nonsense!
Yan Changwu raised a large coarse porcelain bowl, which was filled with fragrant rum.
Of course he can afford gold bowls and jade bowls, but now he must use large coarse porcelain bowls.
In front of him, there were the officers' regiments, non-commissioned officers' representatives, and soldiers' representatives of the Fifth and Eighth Army. They also held a large porcelain bowl full of rum.
Zhuangxing wine!
Chinese wine culture is prevalent. Speaking of "zhuangxing wine", it is also called "see-off wine": when a friend travels far, he will hold a banquet for him to express his farewell feelings~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the war years, the warriors went to the battlefield to perform important tasks. And when there is a very life-threatening mission, the commanders will pour a glass of wine or a bowl of wine for them, and use the wine to brave the warriors off.
Since ancient times, wine has been heroic. Especially before the life-and-death battle, the warrior had finished drinking the Zhuang Xing Jiu and was not afraid of the swords and the sea of fire.
But in ancient times, it was really not easy to want to drink. In ancient times, there was little grain and wine made from grain was not affordable for everyone. Even if they could afford it, they could not be transported.
Only the two Chinese armies have the tradition of Zhuangxing wine, which can be afforded and transported, especially the Southeast Army.
"My brothers!" Yan Changwu said loudly, and all the officers and soldiers looked at him and their commander.
They followed him, fighting from east to west, from one victory to another. They were loyal to him, went through fire and water for him, and were worthy of his brother!
A soldier resembling a clay sculpture stood still, with a dignified expression that made people suffocating, and time stopped abruptly at this moment.
"Drink this bowl of wine and take Istanbul!" Yan Changwu said, first raising the bowl of wine to his head to show respect.
Then he drank the wine in one gulp, showed the bowl to everyone, and said, "Drink!"
All the people unanimously raised the bowl of wine to the top of their heads, saluted the leader, and then drank the wine.
Then everyone worked together and smashed the bowl on the ground.
The broken porcelain bowl reverberated with a continuous sound, and the fragments scattered all over the place were particularly dazzling. That was their vow to win!
"Go!" Yan Changwu shouted with a wave of his hand.
The soldiers unanimously saluted him, then turned to the east and moved forward!
The front is Istanbul!
