The so-called "knowing the wind to know the victory and defeat, sniffing the soil to determine the military situation", Farhad Pasha fought a lot and has rich experience. Others were happy to see that the moat was filled, and believed that a problem in the march was solved. Harder Pasha saw a lot of things from it, and felt bad!

The intensive sound of Chinese guns and the explosion of bombs indicate that they have a large number of firearms and that they did not hesitate to fire. It seems that there is plenty of ammunition.

A bullet hit it, causing the rushers to fall to the ground. Obviously, the Chinese soldiers were well-trained and the marksmanship was accurate.

Even from Huabing's cry, Farhad Pasha could know that the opponent was full of gas, and that the food in the city was definitely good and the morale was high.

This battle is not easy to fight!

What frightened Farhad Pasha even more was that there were so many soldiers in the city, far better than the red hair fan!

He has been soaking in Europe for a long time, and he has had a lot of red hairpin's liver. In his opinion, the red hairpin's firearms are sharp, but there are not many soldiers.

Due to the underdeveloped economy, backward agricultural technology and low level of medical care, Europe has a small population. For example, Britain, a maritime power, had a population of 10 million until the beginning of the 18th century. It is already a big country.

Other rambling countries are not much better. France has a population of 22 million.

The Ottoman Empire has fewer than 10 million people on the population register, wait a minute! They did not count the conquered tribes in the population statistics, but they recruited them during the war. Therefore, the total population may be as much as 30 million. This number has never been counted, because the arrogant Turks do not think that those who have been conquered The conquered nation is human!

It is not a problem to deal with the red hair fan. It is often the red hair fan defending and the Turks attacking and occupying strategic initiative.

Now that the Chinese are defending, there are tens of thousands of professional soldiers in a city.

Fahad Pasha’s commander has 30,000 professional soldiers who eat royal food. The rest of the army consists of about 20,000 beneficiary noble cavalry and 20,000 nomadic light cavalry, plus a large number of cannon fodder militias and a certain number of artillery and engineers. composition.

Even so, he continued to recruit troops from the rear and wrote to the Sudan to show that the Chinese were strong. He received a large number of troops. A total of 220,000 troops surrounded the New City of Cairo, and another 100,000 troops served as a reserve team. Under the leadership of another general, Camille Pasha, he blocked the front of Suez City to prevent aid to Cairo New City.

Farhad Pasha has no interest in attacking Suez City, because the Chinese occupy the dominance of the sea. Even if the Suez City is captured today, the Chinese will land somewhere on the seashore, and if they go to fight again, if they are exhausted, it is better to let the Chinese stay in Suez City. Now, the two sides are in peace.

As a veteran, Farhad Pasha was very calm, and did not launch a large-scale attack before the troops and materials were all available, but first launched an artillery attack!

The day of the attack was sunny and the city was shining brightly in the sun. Fahad Pasha sighed slightly in his heart, but he looked calm and calm on the surface.

In private, he and Chief of Staff Gazi didn’t know how much he sighed. After all, he had studied military history and knew how the Ottoman Empire could lay Constantinople. At present, the New City of Cairo is better than that, and encountered it. It's really bad luck for myself!

The mighty cannons are concentrated in the east of the city, lined up, and the black hole muzzle makes the soldiers excited. These are heavy guns over 24 pounds!

Farhad Pasha brought one hundred and twenty-five 24-pounders and seventy-five 32-pounders, which was almost the largest assembly of the Turks.

The artillery was busy, and the officer estimated the position of the landing point and ordered to adjust the posture of the artillery body, which seemed very professional.

The Ottoman Empire attached great importance to artillery, and they established an arsenal to manufacture artillery, which was not inferior to the red-haired fan in the art of casting artillery.

It has spent a lot of money and put a lot of effort into training artillery. This unit carries out sufficient live ammunition every year and has sufficient experience to become an elite unit of the Imperial Army.

There are still some white-skinned people in the artillery force. Most of them are officers and gunners. They are the red hairs of the Ottoman Empire for money. They don't talk about countries and nations for money. They are simply shameless.

It seems that there are such white skins in the Southeast, and they are even sold more thoroughly. They abandoned their original religion and simply naturalized the Southeast. What do you say? !

"put!"

"put!"

...

The officers on the side of each artillery yelled, and as the command flag was swung down, a violent flash suddenly flashed from the gunner’s position. Two hundred artillery fired together, and the earth trembled fiercely, as well as thunderous. rolling!

With such a fierce shelling, the soldiers who were approaching pressed their ears tightly, but the rumbling of the shells made their hearts beat along with them!

The roar from the artillery group!

The stream of fire from the two hundred cannons was like a small sun, making the city's defenders shrink their eyes for it, and hurriedly lowered their figure, but didn't want to let them carry others' cannonballs.

The cannonball screamed and fell, hitting the city wall hard, and the city wall trembled.

The excited cheers of the Ottomans fell back because they saw that the wall seemed to be motionless, leaving only a mark in many places.

Xiongcheng resisted the power of shelling!

"Keep fighting for me!" Farhad Pasha sternly ~lightnovelpub.net~ Chief of Staff Gazi explained to everyone: "If the shelling continues, they can smash their walls, sooner or later!"

So everyone was methodical and kept firing at the new city of Cairo!

"Their city defenses are really strong!" Fahad Pasha returned to the Chinese Army's tent and said grimly.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the opponent's city wall to be built, and it would be easy to break when it was not dry, but now it seems that the sun over Cairo has dried the city wall.

"We need to increase the ammunition delivery force in the rear!" Jia Qi said solemnly.

"Not bad!" Farhad Pasha understood what he meant and agreed.

The ammunition used by the Ottomans was transported by camels. At present, they have accumulated a lot. When the battle started, there were not enough shells.

Gazi sighed: "The speed of the camel is still too slow!"

The two looked at each other, thinking of the trouble in case there were not enough shells.

"I heard that the Chinese have a kind of railroad track, you can use horse-drawn vehicles to walk on the railroad track, very fast!" Farhad Pasha said slowly.

Gazi said with a dumbfounded expression on his face: "We haven't mastered this kind of technology. Even if we master this kind of technology, when can they fix the railroad from Cairo to Damascus?"

Thinking of the efficiency of those people, the two were speechless together!

It takes ten days to dig a trench, and the distance between the two cities is about 600 kilometers. Does it take 600 days or two years?

If this plan is not for sale, Farhad Pasha thought again: "Let the navy bring the shells along the Nile?"

What a great idea, but thinking of the ties between the army and the navy, Farhad Pasha shuddered and dispelled this tempting idea!
