Chapter 849(1/2)

Dorgon escaped successfully because Ao Ye encountered a problem.

For the Ottomans, the Ming people were an invading army, and what was even worse was that these people were pagans. The invading army plus the pagans, these people were wreaking havoc on their own land, and the Ottomans would not allow it.

So Mr. Ao fell into the vast sea of ​​people's war!

A squad of soldiers entered the village for investigation, but disappeared unexpectedly. Half an hour later, when the reinforcements arrived, there seemed to be no one in the village. They spoke fluent Turkic to the officers and soldiers. Of course, there was no one to speak to them.

Understand.

Finally, the missing soldiers were found in the cesspit, all naked without any clothes. Seeing that the bodies were found, the village chief pulled out an Aka rifle from under the firewood pile with a ferocious look on his face, and pointed it at the soldiers, preparing to pull the trigger.

His gun didn't go off because the bastard couldn't open the safety.

The angry soldiers began to kill people, and the officers naturally would not stop them. They also hated these Ottomans. Those who died were brothers who were stirring the pot in the same pot yesterday, and today they became cold corpses.

Constantinople is a big city connecting Europe and Asia, and there are millions of farmers around the city. These people do not have advanced weapons, and many of them only have hatchets or dung forks.

But it's very annoying. These people always rely on their familiarity with the terrain. They often do things like looking for sentries at night and digging traps during the day.

The trap dug by the Ottomans was very wicked. It was about a foot deep and was very cleverly disguised. At the bottom of the trap was a wooden board with several large nails nailed on it.

As long as the soldiers stepped in, the soles of their feet would be pierced.

In just two days, the troops controlled a large area, but there were already more than 500 wounded soldiers. Most of them were victims of this trap.

So much so that when soldiers marched, many of them tied a piece of wood to the soles of their feet.

Soon more vicious tricks were used. Two children walked past the soldiers carrying baskets. When the soldiers were not paying attention, they actually ignited the homemade bombs in the baskets. Fortunately, the homemade bombs were not very powerful, and the soldiers dodged.

In time. Only a few people were slightly injured, and the rest were shocked.

The child was thrown into the firewood pile by the angry soldiers and burned. The child's father, who came out with an ax and fought hard, was beaten to pieces by bullets. I don't know what to think. Could it be that when a child is allowed to do such a dangerous thing,

Never thought that others would take revenge?

The corpses of rotten cattle and sheep were thrown into the well, and some even threw dead people. Legends about the bloody and brutal Ming army spread quickly among the Ottomans.

A large number of refugees began to flock to Constantinople? Constantinople was overcrowded and housing prices skyrocketed.

The Sudanese army was very wise and did not face Ao Ye's division. Constantinople is very empty now? The defensive force is only a little more than 20,000. Of course? This is the number of regular troops.

As for the irregular army, the Sultan claimed to have a million men in armor. Of course? Everyone knows that this is a so-called number of people.

Every step of the way kills people, and the steps of a division's attack are said to be bloody every step.

It wasn't until the seventh day that Nie Dahu's two regiments bypassed the Golden Horn and occupied the high ground on the north side of the Golden Horn. The siege of Constantinople was officially completed!

In the wounded barracks, Li Xiao walked among the wounded soldiers. Many people were injured by traps. Facing the invaders? The people of the Ottoman Empire gave full play to their ingenuity. They picked up all the weapons they could pick up? Fighting

Invaders, their courage is very commendable.

Li Xiao even found someone with an arrow wound!

What's annoying is that these crossbow arrows will be coated with some feces and the like before being fired. The Ottomans hoped that this would cause infection, but what they didn't expect? With the joint efforts of Tang Ruowang and Li Zhongzi, the Ming Dynasty developed a method called

The drug penicillin.

"Can his foot be saved?" The soldier in front of me is in a worse situation? He was caught in the calf by a trap. It seems that the bones of the calf are broken.

"Fortunately, it was the calf that was pinched? There is a lot of hope for recovery. If the ankle was pinched, the foot may not be saved." The military doctor is one of Tang Ruowang's students and has great research in orthopedics.

"Save these legs? He's still young? He still has a long way to go in this life." Li Xiao looked at this childish face, which looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. The beard around his lips was light and still one layer.

Fluff.

This is a half-grown child, but he was drafted to a battlefield thousands of miles away.

Li Xiao patted the little guy's head: "Does it hurt?"

The little guy saw that Li Xiao was very nervous, nodded, and then quickly shook his head.

"Haha! Don't be nervous. Where are you from?"

“Shandong Zibo!”

"Zibo! Zibo is a great place, an ancient city! Zhoucun, Zhangdian!"

"My home belongs to Zhangdian, has the Marshal ever been to my home?"

"I've been there before and eaten your Zhoucun's sesame cakes." Li Xiao replied with a smile.

"Zhoucun's sesame cakes are nothing. There is an old man named Zhangtou in our store, and the meat cakes are so delicious. The boss didn't go to our store, it's a loss!" The young man looked regretful.

"Okay, next time I have a chance to go to Zibo, I must go to Lao Zhangtou's meat pie shop for a meal. Call you and I'll treat you!"

"Really?" The young man's eyes were bright, and his dark eyes were full of joy.

"Really?" Li Xiao nodded.

"Then how can I allow the commander to treat guests? I am from Zibo, so I should entertain guests. I treat guests!" The young man slapped his chest.

"Okay! You treat me, and I'll wait to eat the meat pie you invited." Still a hospitable foodie, Li Xiao looked at him and recalled when he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Commander! I have something to ask you." Xiaobing asked timidly, perhaps because he was familiar with Li Xiao.

"Say!" Li Xiao was very interested. What would a soldier want to ask him?

"I want to ask you why we have to go to such a distant place to fight. My dear, we have been on the boat for several months." The young man looked seriously confused.

"This! You don't know that there is something called oil under the Ottomans' ground. This is a good thing. We can get it to ensure that our descendants of the Ming Dynasty will have food to eat.

I sent people to ask for it from the Ottoman emperor, but they not only refused to give it, but also chopped off the head of our envoy and sent it back to me. Do you think we, the Ming Dynasty, can bear this tone?"

"What a fool! I can't bear it. I'm going to chop off their emperor's head and send it to you, the commander-in-chief. What our Ming Dynasty wants is your damn good fortune."

Oh my God! The commander-in-chief was wronged! The young man was filled with righteous indignation and wished he could pounce on him immediately and bite that emperor of the Ottoman Empire to death.

"That's right! That's why I brought you here, just to ask them when they will cut off the emperor's head and send it over. We, the Ming Dynasty, ask for things from them because we think highly of them."

"That's right! Commander, what you want, even if it is the King of Heaven, I have to give it to us. Commander, don't worry, I will go find their emperor when my leg is healed."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Xiao smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder.

After walking out of the tent, Li Xiao turned around and said to Mr. Ao: "Morale is very important. We didn't do some things well. Now let's give the officers a lecture and tell them why we came to fight so far away.

Fighter! Be brave! Be angry first and then be brave! We must tell the whole army about the murder of our envoy, so that all the officers and soldiers will be angry. Do you understand?" Li Xiao felt that he had regressed. There are a lot of people in Crete.

Time, there was actually no pre-war mobilization.

After being an official for so long, I have forgotten all the fine traditions of rabbits. Damn it! Damn it!

Faced with blood and death all day long, and having witnessed merciless killings, everyone feels war-weary in their hearts. At this time, faith becomes extremely important. The battle was not going well during this period, and the soldiers were fighting outside for a long time, and morale was somewhat weakened.

It's related.

After leaving the wounded barracks, Li Xiao took an airship to take a look at this legendary city that had stood for thousands of years. The huge stone walls were gray-white, and even a little dazzling in the sun. There were Ottoman soldiers on the city top, pointing at the airship.

, there are even those who shoot arrows upward.

Of course, the bow and arrow could not hit the two-thousand-meter-high airship. Li Xiao, who was holding a telescope, felt like he was watching a monkey show. He looked at the horrified Ottoman soldiers shouting!

Li Xiao noticed that the Ottoman soldiers on the city wall were all wearing armor and wearing swords around their waists! It was obvious that these guys were out of touch with the times.

War is a contest of the highest technology, strength and will of mankind. It is undeniable that the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire may be tenacious. However, in terms of technology and strength, they are no match for the Ming Dynasty.

To Ming Dynasty, they were just piles of meat on the battlefield.

"Drive over and shoot twice." Li Xiao put down the telescope and ordered.

"No, absolutely not." Mr. Ao stopped him immediately, and Sun Xing next to him also followed suit.

"You are related to the future of our entire Liao army. If you want to see the scenery, let the escort airship go and shoot. We can just watch it here. You can't go there anyway." Ao Ye pulled Li Xiao, and Li Hu was already warning the pilot not to follow the instructions.

Li Xiao's command action.

It was over, and the whole airship was blocking it. The pilot did not dare to risk the world's disapproval, and drove to the huge stone city wall to bomb.

"Okay! Let the escort airship go up and shoot, and let them know that the sky also needs to be defended." Li Xiao saw the Ottomans debugging the cannon, and it was actually front-loaded.

Li Xiao was very curious. Can it still be accurate when it hits two kilometers? Besides, the shooting angle of this thing is not good. I haven't heard that this thing can also be used as an anti-aircraft gun.

The gunners worked hard to load the shells, and the rest were struggling to adjust the shooting angle. Li Xiao felt that if this thing was fired, the cannon would fly out directly.

Unfortunately, the gunners' hard work was in vain. Before they could light the fuse, the twin 25-inch rapid-fire cannons on the escort airship were already roaring. Strings of shells hit the city wall like whips.

The armored Ottoman soldier was hit by a double-two-five artillery shell, and his body immediately turned into a mass of blood mist. You can see with the naked eye that human body fragments are scattered in all directions. Although the distance is far away, it seems that you can smell the smell of blood in your nose.

.

Armor, the armor of this era is really no different from cloth clothes when worn on the body.

In fact, Li Xiao felt that this kind of double-25 rapid-fire cannon was the most cruel artillery. Although those large-caliber artillery were far more lethal than it, those shells exploded into a cloud of smoke when they hit it.

You can hardly see anything under the smoke. The Double 25 rapid-fire cannon is the smallest caliber artillery. Although it is the smallest caliber artillery, it is definitely not something that the human body can withstand.

If a cannon ball hits the body, the person will immediately turn into a ball of minced meat.

The huge body of the airship swayed above the city wall, as if it was reaping human lives wantonly like the God of Death. Soon the airship turned at an angle and fired with another row of double 25 rapid-fire cannons on the airship.

The Ottoman soldiers on the city wall fled howling like ghosts. They had never seen such weapons and had never experienced such a battle.

The soldiers in armor quickly collapsed. They dropped their weapons and ran madly towards the bottom of the city wall. If Li Xiao wanted to attack the city at this time, he would definitely win.

"What's the point of his grandma's fight? Just send a few airships and that's it." Mr. Ao said after seeing the results of the battle. He resisted everything that was not the army. He always believed that fighting should be dignified and not like
To be continued...
