Chapter 2259: Chinese Bao Da Jiancheng
Latest website: The news of the defeat reached Vienna, and Emperor Leopold I almost spit out old blood!
Lost 50,000 teachers, the problem is that there are not many results.
He also lost the land he had previously acquired, and even tens of thousands of civilians who accompanied him were taken prisoner. The losses were heavy. It can be described as a waste of water and bamboo basket.
However, he could not pursue Marshal Raimundo Montecucoli, because when the Ottoman Empire fell, the Austrian ministers clamored to quickly occupy the land of Baotou. The more the better, only Raimondo Montecuco Marshal Li sang the opposite, saying that the Baotou guys were all overthrown by the Chinese. The Chinese were stronger than the Baotou guys, and the newly acquired territory could not be guarded!
"Our city defense has been in operation for many years and has been continuously reinforced to withstand the Ottoman attack. If we move forward, the city defense we get will not resist the Chinese attack!" Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli pointed out He suggested that we should also seize the territory, establish a puppet regime on the newly acquired territory, and then annex it when the time is right.
Since ancient times, he has been loyal to his ears, and Leopold I regretted not listening to the marshal!
Fortunately, I still heard a little bit, that is, not greedy, only taking the Hungarian territory, not far from Austria, and fleeing fast, otherwise, even if it is Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli’s genius, The loss of troops will be more than 50,000. It is still unknown how many 200,000 troops can return.
Sure enough, the sharpened, renewed Crimean archers rushed to the wall and were stopped, and they had no choice but to face Jiancheng!
They then retreated, beating the drum of victory, and greeted the 300,000 army coming from behind.
At this time, Zhang Jiayu led one hundred thousand South China Army, one hundred thousand European Imperial Union Army, one hundred thousand Asian Imperial Union Army and one hundred thousand civil servants to march forward with great momentum. The army was in the front and the civil servants were behind. They were busy building roads and bridges, and Building the city is too busy.
Zhang Jiayu received the chief general of the Crimean archers, Alvaro Odriosola Pasha, and warmly congratulated him on their victory!
Then, based on the Crimean’s record---killed forty thousand Austrians, one head was worth ten silver dollars, and a reward worth four hundred thousand silver dollars was paid to them.
The reason why it is said that the value of 400,000 silver dollars is half of the paper money of the South China Empire. The Crimeans can use the paper money to buy Chinese materials, and the other 200,000 dollars are the silver dollars.
With sufficient reserves of gold and silver, the paper currency of the empire is very strong and recognized by all countries. In addition to the Chinese economic circle, even white-skinned traders also hold Nanhua paper currency, which has a tendency to become the world's currency.
Alvaro Odriosola Pasha, who received the approval note, smiled and thanked him.
Or some people say that the South China Army relies on silver dollars to drive officers and soldiers and foreigners to fight.
Giving silver dollars to those who have done meritorious service is a clear reward and punishment, and the meritorious service must be rewarded. How can it be inferior?
What power is there in the world that is strong enough for silver dollars?
No!
Money can make ghosts grind and issue silver dollars, and the effect will be immediate.
Yan Changwu not only relied on silver dollars to reward military merits, but also various systems such as official positions, titles, medals, honorable fields, and welfare, etc. The methods were far more abundant than the use of silver dollars.
Not to mention anything else, the food in the army is super good, and it has bought the soldiers' stomachs, even if you drive them away, they don't want to leave!
The cultural and propaganda department of the South China Army once conducted a survey and believed that the South China soldiers were the most meat-eating soldiers in Chinese history.
Why did the South China Empire own a meat storehouse---Turkey and Australia. The cattle, sheep, and donkeys produced there provide a large amount of meat. With the benefit of the Shanghai boat, the South China soldiers can eat a lot of meat.
Even if it was to create history and obtain the northern Mongolian meat storehouse, Daming could not eat meat like the South China soldiers.
Without it, transportation is inconvenient!
The two Chinese armies are not entirely driven by money, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money.
The Crimean Cavalry is an independent formed foreign army, and the Empire’s methods are relatively limited. Many systems are not useful, but the money is real.
In addition to money, Alvaro Odrio Zolapasha and a group of military officers received the Medal of Meritorious Service from Zhang Jiayu to the South China Empire. They gladly accepted it. After all, for high-ranking military officers, fame and fortune are more important than benefits. Famous, but soldiers don't want so much, just talk about money.
Alvaro Odriosola Pasha told Zhang Jiayu that the fortifications of the Austrians were very strong, so please be careful.
Zhang Jiayu said with a smile, don't worry, no matter what kind of strong city, we Chinese will take care of it.
He asked Pasha to rest and watch the excitement next to him.
In addition to Pasha's saying that the Austrian city is strong, the South China Army's staff of the previous reconnaissance also said that the enemy's city defense is strong. When Zhang Jiayu first saw the opponent's city through a telescope, he really admired him when he had direct feelings.
He is now in the city of Totobanillo. The city has a circumference of about three miles. The defense system is a double-layer inner and outer wall. The outer wall is 8 meters high, and the inner wall is 12 meters wide. There is a tall bastion fifty meters apart, and there are covers on many places on the city wall. This forms a fortress and increases the defense.
Cannons and muskets were placed on the bastion, and the field of vision was so wide that it was not easy for the attackers to make strange things under the city.
Although not as exaggerated as Xiping (Istanbul), it is also quite impressive!
And there are many such cities on the road to Vienna, and the Austrians are also painful. They spent a lot of manpower and material resources plus money to build such a defense system. It is no wonder that the Ottoman Empire has never been disadvantaged. The offensive edge also stagnated here.
Zhang Jiayu sneered: "Looking at the strong tortoise shells of the Austrians, you can imagine how badly they were beaten by the Ottomans!"
He dared to laugh, no one else could laugh, except for the Chinese, all of them looked solemn.
Wanting to lay down this fortified city, in fact, did not have much influence on the Ottomans. Alvaro Odriosola Pasha of the Crimean Archers told Zhang Jiayu that the Ottomans were attacking such a fortified city~www. wuxiaspot.com~ They will drive the servants of various races to attack the city, and they will come to the city at the last minute to give a fatal blow!
Zhang Jiayu laughed and said: "We Chinese would not do this, every human life is precious, so where we can send bullets, we won't be easy to get to others!"
He gave the power to organize the offense to Zeng Ying of the Seventh Army, who was responsible for the offensive.
In accordance with the regulations, Zeng Ying meticulously built a long fence to surround the enemy city. First, the enemy troops on the wall were attacked, then the enemy was close, and then he built artillery positions, using artillery to blast the walls, launch bombs, and throw bombs.
Then there are piles of dirt hills, and a larger area of land!
Their rapid movements made the defenders in the city feel more pressure!
In a bastion, Totobanillo’s defender General Diaz Mariano and his lieutenant General James Rodríguez watched from the telescope the Chinese hills are getting higher and higher and leveling. When the land is getting bigger and bigger, they all frown and worry!
