The city of Erzinjan.
¡°Dong dong~dong dong!¡±
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of shelling, the entire city of Erzinjan was trembling continuously, as if it was being punished by the gods. Countless shells fell like rain into this small city.
Loud noises resounded in every corner of the city. There were ruins everywhere, corpses strewn everywhere, blood stained every inch of the land here, and limbs blown away by bombs filled every place here.
"Hell on earth~"
Ibrahim stood up from the ruins, shook off the dust and some broken limbs from his body, and stared at the unfamiliar world in front of him with wide eyes.
This was the first time that explosive bombs showed their terrifying power. They almost razed the entire city to the ground. There was no longer a decent building. Everything you could see were ruins, and everything you heard was ruins. Pain, miserable wails, and cannonballs still roaring in the sky.
"What kind of shell is this?"
Ibrahim¡¯s head was buzzing.
He has seen all kinds of artillery. He even saw the Urban Cannon of the Ottoman Empire. This super cannon is 17 feet long, weighs 17 tons, has a caliber of 30 inches, and can Fires granite projectiles weighing up to 1,500 pounds (approximately 680 kilograms).
The Ottoman Empire once relied on this terrifying cannon to blast away the fortified castles in Europe, but even the Urban cannon could never have such terrifying power.
What a terrible thing it is to destroy a city into ruins.
What is even more frightening is that this kind of bomb will explode when it falls on the ground, causing unprecedented damage to the defenders of the entire city.
Two hundred thousand troops gathered in this city and defended it to the death. Every place in the city of Erzinjan was full of people. It was originally planned to use people to form a steel city wall to block the advance of the Ming army.
But now, looking up, whether on the city wall or inside the city, there are corpses everywhere. Too many people have died.
On the hillside outside the city.
"Haha, with these explosive bombs, at least we will save tens of thousands of people."
Yang Yun is naturally very satisfied with the effect of the blooming bomb.
It can be clearly seen through the telescope that the city of Erzinjan has been reduced to ruins. The densely packed defenders on the original city wall have been blasted away. There are corpses under the city wall. of.
As for the city, it was now in ruins, and nothing decent could be seen.
"Can we launch an attack?"
Liao Yuan licked his lips slightly and said.
"Well, that's almost it."
"There are not a lot of explosive bombs sent this time, so we should use them sparingly. There are still 500,000 Ottoman troops waiting behind us, and they have to attack other cities in the Ottoman Empire."
"Attack!"
Yang Yun thought for a while and nodded slightly.
"Yes~"
When Liao Yuan and Huo Ying heard this, they immediately saluted respectfully, then mounted their horses and quickly commanded the army to attack the city of Erzinjan like a tide.
The rumbling sound of shelling finally stopped, and the world seemed to be quiet. But for the survivors of Erzinjan City, their heads were always buzzing with the shock caused by the explosion of countless shells.
Before they could recover, there were shouts of killing outside the city. Those who survived on the city wall saw that the Ming army had begun to attack the city.
"Defense~"
"Defense~"
Ibrahim shouted hysterically. Many people who heard the sound stood up from the ruins, looked at everything in front of them in confusion, and then walked numbly towards the city wall.
However, there were so many people who died in the city wall that even the road was blocked, so you could only walk up by stepping on the corpses.
¡°Pah~pah~¡±
However, just as they arrived at the city wall, the Ming army outside the city had already stood up in rows, aiming their muskets at the people on the city wall. As long as anyone showed his head, he would immediately be attacked intensively.
"Boom~"
Soon, there was a terrible loud noise at the city gate, the city wall trembled, the city gate was blown open by the Ming army's gunpowder packets, and countless Ming troops rushed in immediately.
There was almost no suspense in the rest of the battle. They encountered fierce shelling and suffered heavy casualties. The defenders of Erzinjan City were no match for the Ming army at all.
&Due to his outstanding achievements, he was eventually made the Duke of Australia.
This is a very typical example of following the right person, so he was able to rise all the way up, and now he is a famous Duke of the country in the Ming army. He has become a new wealthy nobleman of the Ming Dynasty.
And the path that Yang Yun has taken along the way is exactly the path that Ming Dynasty has continued to expand externally over the years.
Attack the Tatars in the northern grasslands, the Japanese pirates in the east, the Jurchens in Liaodong in the north, and sweep across the Southeast Asian countries, and then conquer the Western Regions and Hezhong.
??The Ming Dynasty used troops abroad every year, and every time it was able to achieve a complete victory. It not only showed its power in the world and conquered all directions, but also continuously incorporated a large amount of land into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
??The grassland province, Liaodong Province, Nanyang provinces, Shijian County on the Japanese side, the Western Regions, Hezhong The territory of the Ming Dynasty is getting wider and wider, and the descendants of Yan and Huang are beginning to spread to every corner of the world.
Massive amounts of wealth continuously flowed into the Ming Dynasty, allowing every ordinary citizen in the Ming Dynasty, including the emperor, relatives of the emperor, noble ministers, and down to the common people, to benefit from it and enjoy the dividends of the Ming Dynasty's continued external expansion.
And the core of all this starts from Liu Jin's side. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
