Chapter 832
On the first day of the attack, Wu Sangui planned to use saturated artillery bombardment to defeat the Zhangxi people. He knew that time was not on his side. The Ming army was landing on the east coast, but he could not stop it. All his forces were now in Zhangxi City
Down.
Queen Zhang Xi saw the power of the anti-aircraft guns and was overjoyed to see the huge airships shot down by the anti-aircraft guns. But before she could be happy for a long time, overwhelming artillery shells hit her.
The firepower of direct artillery can still be withstood, after all, generations of people have built huge stone walls. But those heavy rockets are simply a nightmare.
Every time a heavy rocket landed in the city, Queen Zhang Xi felt the earth being pounded. As the smoke flew into the air, there were not only broken limbs and broken arms, but also large living people with teeth and claws.
Just one artillery shell can destroy a two-story building. People hiding in the building have absolutely no chance of survival. The most terrifying thing is the shock wave after the bomb explodes. After the heavy rocket explodes, it can even kill hundreds of meters away.
people outside.
The densely populated Zhangxi City suddenly fell into hell. Looking down from the high-rise building where Queen Zhangxi was, people poured into the streets, running and shouting desperately. After the violent explosion, a group of people disappeared. They couldn't get through.
After a while, the sky began to crackle and smash human hands, feet, heads and other corpse fragments downwards.
The Zhangxi people believed too much in the volcanic rock city wall that had been successfully built by generations, and did not organize the civilians to flee in advance. They even closed the city gates for several days in order to investigate the spies.
Many innocent Zhangxi people were hanged on the city wall by their own people. The crows on the corpses flew away, scared away by the sound of the cannonballs. The intact corpses were hit by the cannonballs and turned directly into pieces. The crows were very
I like it, after all, the pieces are easier to eat.
Queen Zhangxi closed her eyes in pain. It was too late to open the city gate now. Besides, the city gate could not be opened. As long as the city gate was opened, Indians would pour in like a tide. The consequences would be much more terrible than the shelling now.
.It is estimated that few people in Zhangxi will survive!
The only thing we can count on now is the legendary reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty. But the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty are not even available.
Queen Zhangxi knew in her heart that unless the people of Zhangxi shed their last drop of blood, they would not appear. After all, among the Indian states today, apart from Bombay, only Zhangxi has the most powerful power.
The people of Ming Dynasty planned from the beginning to let them fight and lose both sides. Unfortunately, those idiots actually helped Ming Dynasty to put pressure on themselves. For what little benefit? They even risked their lives.
Did you see it yourself? But you were forced to give in under pressure. Poor Zhang Xi, poor India? After this tragic massacre? I’m afraid they will never return to the glory of their ancestors.
Wu Sangui, who almost bled from the corners of his eyes, held up his binoculars and looked at the orange flames blooming on the city wall. Is the black volcanic rock really indestructible? The cannon fired directly, but it could only make a small crater.
What made Wu Sangui even more annoyed was that those city walls looked uneven. In fact, they had many edges. If a cannonball hit them, they would ricochet in most cases.
Seeing the cannonballs constantly bouncing into the air and exploding, Wu Sangui became even more angry.
The airship has been destroyed, and artillery fire will not do anything. What can we hope for now? The only thing we can do is to plant explosives.
Three elite Gurkha soldiers rushed forward with explosives in their arms. They were so good at rolling in and leaping forward at one moment. They rushed to the city wall with cross cover. Just when they were about to rush to the bottom of the city wall, they were thrown down from the top of the city wall.
A dozen grenades.
Then... there is no more.
Three Gurkha soldiers, covered with shrapnel, lay twitching in a pool of blood.
Next is the second echelon? Or three people. Their skills are even more agile than the three people just now, and they are leaping and jumping? They are constantly dodging the shots on the city wall. These guys who survived the battlefield have a good understanding of firearms.
General perception.
Super perception? It can even allow them to dodge bullets.
It's a pity that they couldn't reach the city gate. When the three of them were only more than thirty meters away from the city gate, one of them stepped on a landmine? It was a serial mine. A landmine exploded?
A dozen landmines exploded nearby.
Shrapnel was flying in the air, and their flesh and blood bodies were thrown into the air. When they fell, their bodies hit other landmines nearby. The bodies turned into many small pieces, and the small pieces of bodies hit the mines and exploded, and were blown up.
into smaller pieces.
In this way, the body continued to break into pieces. Finally, it reached the point where it could no longer be used to detonate landmines!
Wu Sangui looked at everything in front of him and lamented in his heart. People are too insignificant in the war. In the past, things that could change the situation of the war through personal bravery were gone forever.
"Order all the cannons to attack the city gates. I don't believe that their city gates are also made of volcanic rock." Wu Sangui pointed at the gate of Zhangxi City with red eyes.
The cannon immediately changed its target, no longer attacking the useless city wall, but the city gate.
A city gate made of wood cannot be as strong as volcanic rock. After only a dozen shots were fired, the city gate was blown to pieces. Seeing the city gate open, the Indians let out deafening cheers.
The horn sounded, and three thousand Indian soldiers began to rush towards the city gate. As long as they rushed through the city gate, not only would there be officials to do it, but they would also be rewarded with ten silver coins. Ten silver coins are enough for an ordinary family to live for a year.
of.
When they rushed to the rifle shooting distance, the rifles on the top of the city began to fire. The Indians set up their heavy machine guns and started shooting at the top of the city to suppress them. The bullets hit the volcanic rock wall and scattered debris. Let alone stand up and shoot.
If you even look around, you'll be hit in the head by a bullet.
Soon the mortars followed. The curved trajectory was the advantage of the mortars. The gunners began to accurately bombard the top of the city wall. The rate of fire of the mortars was very terrifying, and the shells almost came down in groups one after another.
This time, even if you don't show your head, you will be smashed into pieces by the mortar shrapnel.
The people on the city wall were completely suppressed, and the Indian soldiers charged unscrupulously. Everything showed that Zhangxi City was about to be breached.
The first Indian soldier kicked away the remaining fragments of the city gate, and then ran in with long strides. This guy was very happy, after all, Wu Sangui had promised. The first person to enter the city was promoted to the third level, and he also
There is a reward of one hundred silver coins.
One hundred silver coins, now he's made a fortune. This Indian soldier couldn't help but be proud of his super running ability.
The pride only lasted for less than a minute, and he passed through the dark city gate with black smoke. He had arrived at Zhangxi City, and then...then he saw the black muzzle of the gun.
Momojiro's eyes were full of murderous intent. Even the most amiable person would become full of murderous intent on the battlefield. If you don't have murderous intent, you will either die or live on the battlefield.
"Shoot!" Momojiro Gaosheng ordered. The only two Maxim heavy machine guns that were withdrawn yesterday immediately spit out fiery snakes.
A company of Indian soldiers who had just rushed in were unable to hide or escape in the city gate hole. They were all beaten to pieces. The Zhangxi soldiers who were ambushing on both sides of the city gate hole pulled grenades and rushed towards them.
Throw it inside. Those Indian soldiers who tried to lie down were disemboweled by the grenade.
Continuous shooting caused corpses to pile up in the city gate cave. Finally, the corpses formed a new city gate. Under the command of Wang Dalong, the Zhangxi people also threw several layers of barbed wire on the corpse mountain.
Now, the corpses of Indian soldiers have become a bunker. It is not difficult for outsiders to climb in.
The continuous attacks failed, and in less than an hour, more than half of the three thousand Indians were lost. The remaining people ran back desperately, and these people were frightened crazy by the bloody and terrifying scene.
They couldn't speak, so they just waved their hands and ran back. They turned a deaf ear to the shouts coming from the Indian army's position. All they could think about was running, as far away from this hell-like place as possible.
"Sudden", "sudden", "sudden", "sudden", "sudden", "sudden"...!
Ten heavy machine guns were lined up in a row, and bullets were poured on these broken soldiers like water. Since they have already suffered a mental breakdown, it is impossible to expect them to fight. Then let's use the last remaining heat and act like a baby to let everyone
Let's see what the consequences are of escaping.
Ten heavy machine guns fired for more than ten minutes, and there was no one left standing in front of the position.
"The enemy is here, those who advance will live, those who retreat will die! Whoever breaks through Zhangxicheng will be promoted to the third level and will be rewarded with a thousand silver coins." Wu Sangui gave the order with a livid face. It is possible to do something that only sends people to death without benefiting them.
Any more will cause problems.
Wu Sangui still knows the principle of giving a sweet date after a slap.
A morning passed, and apart from the death of more than 3,000 people, there was no progress in the war. Wu Sangui estimated that the Zhangxi people's casualties were much greater than his. After all, so many powerful rockets were fired into the city. In Wu Sangui's eyes
Here, there is no distinction between civilians and soldiers in war.
Everyone who stands against you is your enemy, whether they want it or not.
"Damn it!" Someone brought a roasted leg of lamb. The battle was like this, even if there was dragon meat, he couldn't eat it. Wu Sangui casually stuffed the leg of lamb to Wu Laoer, and looked at the carefully drawn map with anger.
In the west of Zhangxi City, the Zhangxi people took advantage of the truce to begin cleaning up the bombed streets and the wounded and wounded soldiers on the city wall.
The power of heavy rockets is so great that one shell can wipe out a quarter of a street. The casualties are even more difficult to count. The surviving relatives ran under the ruins and rubble, trying to dig out the things buried underneath with their bare hands.
Relatives. Although the hope of these people surviving is already slim.
There were people like ants on the street, and Queen Zhang Xi also took people to participate.
The scene on the street was miserable, but it was even worse on the city wall.
Hundreds of soldiers had their heads blown off by bullets. The headless corpses were placed in a long row on the city wall, waiting for the civilians to carry them down. These were all brave soldiers. When the city was blocked by heavy machine guns,
Sometimes, they risked their lives by sticking their heads out and taking a shot.
This shot may have hit the enemy, or it may not have hit it. But their lives will always be fixed at this moment.
Even worse were the wounded soldiers who were injured by mortar shells and lost their arms and legs. They were screaming and wailing loudly in the corner of the city wall. The sound was so cruel that it even scared the crows that flew over to try to eat something.
Ran away.
Throughout the morning, the Zhangxi people continued to suffer civilian casualties reaching 1,400. As a defensive side, this casualty figure was tragic.
In the afternoon, the Indians continued their attack. This time, they no longer attacked the city gate. Instead, they made a ladder and prepared to climb to the top of the city using the most primitive method.
The heavy machine guns were still covering the city below, and the mortars were still bombarding the city head below. The Indians carried the ladder and, forced by the heavy machine guns behind them, rushed towards the black volcanic rock wall with "ouch" and "ooh" sounds.
The ladder was set up on the city wall, and the Indian soldiers began to climb the wall. Wherever an Indian ladder was found protruding from the wall, grenades would be thrown down.
Soon there will be screams and the explosion of grenades from below. At this time, this section of the city wall will also be focused on mortars. As the shells fall, the screams will be combined with the explosion. The same
spread.
The people of Zhangxi fought tooth and nail for their city. They knew that if the city was destroyed, the people of Zhangxi would be slaughtered. Instead of being killed like dogs, it was better to fight hard and have a good time.
Standing on the high platform, Queen Zhang Xi had tears in her eyes as she watched her people resist Wu Sangui's invasion. A group of people would rush up to the city wall and throw a few grenades, and they would be killed by mortars. Then another group of people would continue.
Rushing up the city wall, human life here is only shorter than the existence of a meteor.
Wu Sangui also stood and watched the battle. The Indians learned the lesson. They only sent two people to set up the ladder. As long as the ladder was erected, the mortars would bombard the area wildly.
You can often see people who were thrown up by mortar shells, and many of them fell below the city. The Indian soldiers rushed over and stabbed those who were not dead. When the British company commander wanted to come over and stop, people
It has become like a hornet's nest.
This is how hatred is forged. Maybe the two parties have not known each other before or even met. But you represent Bombay and he represents Zhangxi, which is enough to explain everything.
The battle began to turn into a battle of wits, and at the same time, it also turned into a war of attrition. Every time, the Zhangxi people were able to kill the Indians on the ladder. Correspondingly, the Zhangxi people at the top of the city would also be bombed by the cannonballs falling from the sky.
A mess.
Human life is like a piece of grass here. The young man who was alive and well just now has turned into several disconnected chunks of his body in an instant.
"Night attack! The Zhangxi people only have a total of 28,000 troops. If we fight them off one by one, I will have to capture Zhangxi City." Wu Sangui shouted crazily.
Chapter completed!
