1092 The first advance of the siege battle

After the sound of the slap, a roar from the inner city wall to the outer city wall!

The sentry on the inner city wall fired a pound of cannons on the outer city wall, and fired a shotgun, which immediately caused several screams: "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The one-pound cannon widely used by the Southeast Army is flintlock type, installed on universal joints--don't underestimate the universal joints, or made under the guidance of the great leader. It can easily point to any direction. The flintlock type fire device will hit as soon as you want, which is very convenient.

The Chinese put it on ships, placed it on carriages and city walls, and used it very widely. Because of the Chinese's talent, once things are used, they will be cheap. Therefore, the military has a large amount of equipment and set it up everywhere, which is like asking, "How many tubes do each squad of the army have?" The answer was: "There are as many tubes as many tubes as there are" which can be called a magical tool.

The silence of the night was completely broken, and the invading clans of the Kaber tribe in the mountains of Asia Minor were good at climbing and attacked Cairo New City at night under the instructions of Fahad Pasha.

They were not wearing armor or clothes, just a pair of trousers and painted on their bodies, which was consistent with the color of the land. In this way, it was difficult to find under the hazy lights of the city. They did not bring any heavy weapons, and at most they bit a dagger in their mouths when they were on the wall.

They sneaked quietly and tiptoed to the edge of the city. Their steps were so light that even the dog could not hear it, and the geese did not respond.

The Southeast Army used biological defense, and dogs and geese were veterans, but they also lost their wind.

Their feet are very thick, and the Chinese throw iron fern nails on the edge of the city, with a sharp side facing up. Even if they step on it, they will not nail them into their feet.

Moreover, their movements were quite gentle, and the Chinese even placed warning bells under the city, but they were not touched and they easily covered the city.

This tribe is very powerful. They first stabbed the city with a dagger. They thought that they could step on the dagger, but found that they could not penetrate it. The Chinese city was really strong!

So they stacked the arhats, climbing up one by one with one shoulder, as fast as a monkey!

They were allowed to break through five sections of the outer city wall, and even let them climb up one section of the inner city wall!

Only Liu Dazhuang warned him. The sentry on the inner city wall above him was still very powerful. He fired the cannon immediately and shot the Kaboer people, and it was useless to cover it up. They screamed in pain and immediately let the Chinese explode the camp!

The Southeast Army jumped out of the various hidden holes, and the Kaberites were completely trapped in tragedy!

They were good at sneak attacks, but they were vulnerable in front of the Southeast Army!

When the Southeast Army saw the enemy fire, the Kaboer people jumped straight down the eight-meter-high city wall. Some were lucky and capable, jumped down as if nothing had happened and ran away quickly. Some people broke their legs. Then, after dawn, they found it out to the Chinese, and the Chinese flew out their spears and stabbed them to death on the ground!

Amid the sound of gunfire, the city was in chaos, and someone suddenly said, "Look, look!"

In the distance, the Ottoman military camp was brightly lit, and then fireballs rose from above the military camp and came toward the middle of Cairo's new city.

Someone immediately woke up and said, "Fire bomb attack!"

But the Ottomans used a catapult to fire bombs!

The fire bomb cut through the night with the fire and shot straight into the city!

When the fire bomb hits the ground and explodes, the tincture oil splashes and falls on a person like a splash of rain, and immediately catches fire.

The man screamed heart-wrenchingly, struggling violently in the flames!

Others can't help him, they can only watch him burn to death without help.

The man was really unlucky. Although the fire bomb attack ignited and lit in the city, not many people were burning, because each of the Southeast Army had undergone professional training - walking by the wall and looking for cover!

The training of the troops was effective, and no one was burned into torches.

Fire bombs kept flying over and hitting the city wall. Fireworks were everywhere on the wall, splashing some people. Medical soldiers healed their wounds. Overall, they were still comfortable. The accuracy of the fire bombs was really not good. They were all in the city or outside the city. There were not many people who went directly to the wall, and there were very few people falling into the crowd. Seeing that the enemy was not at its peak, the officer asked the soldiers to return to the Tibetan soldiers' cave to hide, leaving a few people on the city to monitor them.

On the Ottoman positions, officers and soldiers were busy loading bullets, igniting and firing the tall catapult. When the heavy hammer fell and the fire bombs were projected, the soldiers returned them to their positions as soon as possible to prepare for the next round of attack.

Two infantry commanders Charari and Mehhamud were watching the fire, and fire bombs flew over their heads one after another, illuminating the sky!

The light shone on their faces with uncertainty. Both of them were burly men, with leather armor and fists as big as fighters, and were covered with muscles, full of explosive power.

They knew that the bloody battle would take place after dawn, and no one could be safe in such a mighty city, but they had been through the battlefield for a long time and were calm.

"We used a lot of fire bombs. What would you think will be the effect?" Charari asked boredly.

McHamud did not answer first, then pointed and said, "Look!"

Following the direction of his finger, Chalari saw a fire bomb hitting a tower in the city, and immediately set fire to the entire tower, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay!"

However, as he looked, his brow frowned, as the fire became smaller and smaller and gradually faded.

He murmured to himself: "Their buildings are all stones, and tincture oil cannot spread!"

No wonder a lot of fire bombs were fired, and the city could never become popular.

As he thought, the Ottomans cast a large number of fire bombs into the city, hoping to trigger a fire in the city. If they could burn all the pagans, they could be blessed to God.

But what they didn't expect was that the flames ignited, and some people were even reading books under the fire!

In order to deal with the enemy's attack, the Southeast Army had a reasonable layout of buildings in the city and spacious streets. They were made of stone or bricks. They wanted to ignite a fire in the city without even thinking about it!

Air defense corridors have also been established in many places. The roof cover is strong and even iron covers can effectively resist stone bombs, not to mention fire bombs. The corridor is built with a low wall, and people stay inside to watch the fire across the bank.

A fire bomb was burning. The inspector Li Laiheng saw a soldier borrowing fire to read books. Whether he was pretending to be 13 or really immersed in the world in the book, he didn't notice it when the commander passed by!

The Southeast Army has great achievements, but it will not light the fire for the soldiers to read books at night. It is a good way to read books by borrowing the enemy's fire. He patted the soldiers' shoulders lightly. The soldiers were shocked and found that they were three-star lieutenant generals, so they stood attentively!

It was a young soldier, and Li Laiheng asked kindly: "What's your name? What book are you reading?"

The soldier handed the book to Li Laiheng for his reading. Well, it was a book called "Catography". The young soldier said: "Report to the commander of the army and the department of Chen Debiao. This book was borrowed from the military library. I will prepare to take the military academy!"

He said shyly: "I'm not on duty now, I can read books!"

"Very good! Very good!" Li Laiheng was very pleased!

The army pays attention to maneuver and power. The weight of equipment of officers and soldiers is limited, so they often have to leave behind their personal belongings when marching.

However, the army encouraged officers and soldiers to read more books, so they set up military libraries and special personnel to transport books. Often there were livestock to cooperate with the transportation of books and marching, and after arriving at the local area, they were borrowed by the officers and soldiers.

This young soldier Chen Debiao borrowed a book to prepare to apply for the officers’ school. The Southeast Army has unobstructed channels for the promotion. As long as you work hard and get admitted to the military academy, you can become an officer!

Even when facing fierce battles and life and death are uncertain, the soldiers are still reading and reviewing with hope. Li Laiheng encouraged him and said, "Try hard!"

"Come on!" He ordered the soldier to give him an extra piece of armor!

Chen Debiao was wearing an armor, and now he had one more piece of it. The commander's earnest affection was to increase his chances of survival. Chen Debiao was extremely excited and saluted and said, "I must work hard!"
