Ten minutes ago, in the west wall of Sea Lock Fortress, Arafat Sheikh Pasha concentrated on the Baotou men to prepare for the challenge.

When they see the posture of the Southeast Army outside, how can they not make preparations!

Arafat Sheikh Pasha said to the Baotou men: "The heretics stormed our city, and the life and death is critical. If you lay down your weapons, you are a coward. A coward cannot ascend to heaven. Suffering! Are you willing to be cowards?"

All the Baotou guys shook their heads firmly!

He raised his arm and summoned, "Go to Tian-tang!"

The people inside the city wall were silent at first, and then burst into bursts of shouts: "Go to Tian-tang, to Tian-tang!"

The sentiment was raging, and the originally low morale was suddenly aroused by him. Any enemy encountering them would be a hard bone to chew.

Khalid Oliver Pasha looked at him and secretly praised him. He was born in a family of generals. He was promoted all the way and went smoothly. He encountered no obstacles, but he was separated from ordinary soldiers, unlike Arafat Sheikh. Pasha was born in the grassroots class. He was promoted from a small soldier to Pasha. It was not easy to come by and won the hearts of the army. When he issued a call, he responded with a hundred responses.

Khalid Olive Pasha is full of sorrow. Such a good Pasha, such a good soldier, regard death as home, but their ending may not be very good.

Once they died in battle, the poor and weak Ottoman Empire couldn't even pay out pensions!

With the advancement of the Southeast Army, the economy of the Ottoman Empire was on the verge of collapse, and there was no money to distribute to the soldiers.

If it weren’t for the lack of food, I’m afraid the enemy would spend more hands and feet. With Arafat Sheikh Pasha’s ability, he wouldn’t take a step back if he didn’t light up the soldiers. They made dumplings and wasted such a good location for nothing!

If there is sufficient food, Khalid Olive Pasha even has the confidence to drive the enemy into the sea!

The ready two armies are gearing up, just waiting to fight.

I have to say that the generals (Pasha) on both sides are fighting old battles, and their intuition is very clear about the upcoming battle.

One of the three Yicheng cannons has a raised caliber, and the landing points of the other two cannons form a triangle. This is a predetermined combat plan.

The artillery officers were sweating profusely. They calculated the trajectory of the landing point, filled the barrel with sealed gunpowder by experienced veteran gunners, and then stuffed the shells into the barrel.

"Let's launch when you're ready!" A general who carried a star on his shoulders commanded. He was the artillery brigadier general Yan idiom, and he personally came to supervise the artillery operations.

Amid the bang, the cannonball came out and landed on the city wall, just right, just as the Southeast Army artillery expected, it happened to be a triangular drop point.

The city wall that was hit collapsed suddenly, masonry debris flew straight into the sky, and smoke billowed.

On the giant artillery position, the two barrels were out of position and slanted to one side. It would take a lot of effort to make corrections.

When the dust settled for a while, everyone took a closer look, and the fortress wall was half lowered, forming two slopes that pass through inside and outside, perfect three cannons!

This method of shelling was first seen in the Urban Cannon, the predecessor of the Yicheng Cannon. When the Baotou used the Urban Cannon to bomb Constantinople, it hit the bottom of the city wall. The foundation was too thick to penetrate. Above the middle wall, even if it can penetrate, the Constantinople garrison’s ability to damage the tube is superb, making up for it as it breaks, and the urban cannon takes a few hours before it can be fired again, and the landing point is not in the previous position. , Poor efficiency, slow results, so Baotou once doubted life, thought the Urban Cannon was big and useless, and a little bit didn't want to use them.

However, early in the siege, a Hungarian delegation came to meet the Sudan. A Hungarian enthusiastically observed the work of the Turkish artillery and offered his advice: Don’t try to attack the same place on the city wall all the time. After the first shell hits the city wall, the impact point of the projectile is about 10 meters, and a second gap is made. Then a third shell is shot between the two bullet holes, so that the impact point forms a triangle-so that the opposite city wall The damage increased to the maximum. The Turkish artillery changed tactics. The artillery group first used small-caliber artillery to make the first two bullet holes in the city wall, and then used heavy artillery to make a fatal blow. The destruction of the walls of Constantinople by the new tactics is almost devastating!

The shelling continued uninterrupted for six days. Despite the difficulties in aiming and loading, the Ottoman artillery managed to ensure that about 120 shells were fired every day. The artillery fire was particularly concentrated in the middle section of the city wall, which eventually collapsed.

The Hungarians are white-skinned, and the Constantinople defenders are also white-skinned. White-skin harms the white-skinned. Why is it too anxious!

Even if the wall collapsed, the Byzantine soldiers who had recovered from the initial shock began to efficiently repair the damaged wall. They invented a unique but efficient method. When a section of the outer city wall was damaged, they immediately repaired it with all the materials they could find at their hands, such as stones, wood, shrubs and even a lot of soil. They also placed a large number of mud-filled wooden barrels as a shelter ~lightnovelpub.net~ in order to resist Ottoman's arrows and bullets. When night comes, the men and women in the city come to the damaged wall to make repairs overnight, so that the effect of the last shelling is often wiped out at dawn the next day. The advantages of the Ottoman artillery were suppressed to a certain extent.

The problem is that no matter how good the damage management technique is, the Constantinople defenders are in turmoil and are under a lot of mental pressure. I don't know when Baotou guys will produce a monster moth, so the city is hard to escape.

Now that the Southeast Army is still ruling its body by its own way, these three cannons are like divine assistance.

Not to mention that Baotou was stupid, and the Southeast Army was shocked. They hadn't seen the effect of artillery firing, but they had never heard of such a glorious achievement in the first three artillery.

In the past, artillery attacks often required test firing first, and then continuous bombardment, or there was a chance to destroy the enemy's city wall.

Shocking three cannons!

Even Li Laiheng, who was sitting on a pony stick with a cigarette in it, was stunned. He couldn't help standing up, his mouth wide open, and he didn't know that the cigarette fell on the ground.

After a long while, he continued to say: "The artillery brothers played well, they played well, please give them credit!"

He excitedly said to the officers and soldiers around him: "Do you understand the scene of the idiom'destructively'?"

"Understand, understand!" The officers and soldiers nodded vigorously.

"what!"

Under the leadership of Hao Yaoqi, the already prepared assault troops of the Southeast Army issued a rough and powerful roar from their throats, and rushed forward bravely towards the shelling gap.

Over their heads, a dense cluster of bows and arrows, artillery shells and bombs were thrown towards the fortress, and the sky and the earth were attacked together. For a time, a dark cloud appeared to destroy the city!
