- The overwhelming army built camps one after another outside Istanbul.
They were not in a hurry to attack at this time.
"Just looking from the top of the city, seeing the company camp dozens of miles away, still makes people fearful.
Under the command of the emperor and officers, the soldiers and civilians in the city began to prepare for a decisive victory against this giant city.
The whole of Istanbul is divided into two parts by the strait.
This means they have the strait as a natural moat.
And the high wall built by this huge stone, even with the powerful artillery, will never collapse easily.
At least at this time, the Ottomans have stabilized their position.
Although there was panic, Istanbul had already become indestructible under the management of successive Ottoman monarchs.
This towering and solid city wall, towers, and countless forbidden troops are, at this moment ready for a deadly battle.
A few days later, the siege began.
Countless artillery roared, causing this fortified city to fall into a sea of ??fire.
It¡¯s just that its city wall is several feet thick, mostly made of granite!
Although the power of the artillery is full, and its destructive power against the forbidden troops in the city is even more astonishing, at this time, it cannot easily conquer this huge city.
According to the calculations of the engineering battalion, it would take at least more than half a month to bombard the city with artillery.
At that time, once the city is broken into, if the forbidden troops in the city resist resolutely, the losses will be considerable.
What's more this city is built with its back to the sea, and behind it is the Ottoman hinterland in Europe. This means that the Ottomans can rely on this to continuously obtain supplies. Even if they send ships to blockade the city at sea, it will not be easy. .
Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan stared at the map in a daze.
It was so smooth before that it suddenly encountered some difficulties and was a bit troublesome.
"The attack can be captured, but the losses will be huge." Zhu Zaimo sighed.
Fang Jifan blinked: "I have a plan."
Zhu Zaimo raised his head and looked at Fang Jifan: "I wonder what your teacher has to say?"
Fang Jifan said: "We will launch an attack tomorrow morning. We can't do what we did before. If we want to fight, we must fight hard. We must use all our strength. In the early morning, the Flying Ball Battalion will attack. Then take out all our artillery. No need to Be stingy with gunpowder, all the infantry under the city, be prepared to attack the city. Are there any ships nearby? Order ships to appear on the sea"
Zhu Zaimo frowned.
Is this method feasible?
You must know After all, the supply line of the New Army is too long, so all ammunition is precious.
It¡¯s not that the army doesn¡¯t have enough gunpowder.
But according to the teacher¡¯s wishes, no cost will be spared.
¡°Suppose all the ammunition is used up tomorrow and I want to replenish it, but I don¡¯t know how long it will take.
Seeing his mentor's complacent look, he nodded immediately: "Then let's give it a try."
¡¡
So at dawn the next morning.
After testing the wind speed and direction, Flying Ball Battalion Chief Officer Shen Ao and Deputy Chief Officer Yang Biao led the team to take off.
Every time the flying ball soared into the sky, Yang Biao felt like he was flying in the clouds.
It¡¯s just that the climate here is obviously different from that of the Ming Dynasty. Once you get into the air, you will not only see a huge city under your feet, but also the vast ocean behind the huge city.
The weather here is unknown and somewhat dangerous. Once there is a cross wind, the flying ball is very likely to fall into the sea.
Subconsciously, Yang Biao took out the dried meat to calm his shock.
¡¡¡¡
A swarm of flying balls began to fill the sky towards Istanbul.
Immediately afterwards, the roar of artillery began.
The Ming army showed their special skills, with countless artillery guns roaring continuously.
Countless cannonballs, like fireballs, fell into the huge city, and then exploded filled with smoke.
The place where the bullet hit was like a hell on earth, with screams everywhere. The Ottomans in the city tried to fight back with artillery, but their artillery was like a joke
Immediately afterwardscountless flying balls began to arrive in the sky.
Countless kerosene bombs and bombs began to be thrown.
Since early in the morningthis one-sided killinghas never stopped.
At noon we just stopped.
When the Flying Ball Battalion dispersed, the artillery straightened up and fired.
The entire city is almost in ruins.
The remaining people trembled and returned to the tower that was already in ruins. Looking down, they saw countless infantrymen sharpening their swords, and the swarming army horses seemed to be ready to start the second round of bombardment. After that, prepare to attack the city.
This is a desperate feeling.
The soldiers and civilians hid in nearby buildings and closed the heavy doors. The old people hugged their children, and the families hugged each other, silently thinking about any god they thought could be trusted
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
In the Chinese army camp outside the city, an express report was delivered to Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan finally felt relieved.
He looked at Zhu Zaimo relaxedly: "Your Highness, it's done"
That day
A city gate opens.
Before the imperial guards in the city were aware of itthis inconspicuous city gate saw countless new troops swarming in.
Immediately afterwards sporadic fighting began to occur in the city.
The resistance was not fierce.
The vast majority of the Forbidden Army were frightened after being attacked by artillery and flying ball battalions! The only thing that can give them peace of mind is the tall city wall. Once the city wall is lost, their last bit of courage will be lost.
Countless new troops poured in and began to occupy important positions in the city. Then certain outposts that resisted in the city were cleared at targeted locations, and the advancement speed was extremely fast.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan rode into the city under the guard of hundreds or thousands of people.

At the opening of the city gate made of rock, a group of officials headed by Li Zheng knelt down and worshiped on both sides.
They were still wearing the gorgeous Ottoman costumes, but their faces were ashen.
They found the best angle with ease, knelt on the ground, and welcomed the prince and regent into the city.
As soon as they saw His Highness the Crown Prince's arrival, they immediately put away their NIANG expressions, forced out smiles, cheered up, and knelt on the ground one after another, loudly saying: "The guilty minister has met His Highness the Crown Prince and the Regent. "
The city gate was actually opened by Li Zheng.
Suleiman was extremely worried about the abilities of people like Li Zheng, so he only let them guard the less important city gates.
Today¡¯s fierce attack made Li Zhengren and others immediately realize thatIstanbul will fall sooner or later.
They were all in fear in the city.
But a scholar is a scholar!
The difference between them and ordinary fearful soldiers and civilians is that they understand that people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries.
Sooner or later, the city will be destroyed. Then people like myself can still have good fruits to eat?
Rather than sit back and wait for death, why not switch sides and welcome Master Wang? Even if you are still a guilty person, you can still save your life. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Who would be at odds with his own life?
Therefore that day, everyone did not stop doing anything, and immediately secretly ordered their confidants to secretly open the city gate and lead the new army into the city.
The whole process can be said to be very smooth.
Because the defenders in the city have fallen into panic and cannot care about each other, let alone in this situation of heavy artillery fire, no one can care about an inconspicuous city gate.
"As soon as the New Army attacked, by the time everyone reacted, it was obviously too late.
Led by Li Zheng, hundreds of Confucian officials were anxiously waiting for the fate of the prince and regent.
¡°Some of them have seen this piece of shit Fang Jifan before.
Who would have thought that Fang Jifan, who drove them away in the first place, would meet again thousands of miles away ten years later.
When Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan rode up to them, Li Zheng knelt on the ground, cautiously raised his head and glanced at Zhu Zaimo and Fang Jifan, and then quickly lowered his head.
Zhu Zaimo's face was expressionless: "You know what I mean!"
This sentence is naturally very rude.
Li Zhengzhen said eloquently: "Your Highness, the heavens have changed, and the artifacts have changed more and more, and they belong to the virtuous people. This is the natural principle. The Ottomans are barbarians. How can the barbarians stay here for a long time in such a blessed land? How can the barbarians stay here for a long time?" We all have been blessed by heaven I see the prince today his majestic appearance the dragon the dragon walks and the tiger steps I am overjoyed I am overjoyed."
Zhu Zaimo was speechless and glanced at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan bared his teeth, spat, and said with great disdain: "Things like dogs!" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com)?One glance.
