Although the two Chinas are far apart, Clippers convey messages.

Every month, Fergate-style Clippers travel between China and China, and even travel.

This is the world's first-class ocean-going clutch. If it runs, it can pass through the sea like a light seagull.

As a modern young hero, Yan Changwu is very clear about the role of "information", so he spares no expense to maintain such a communication path.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's affairs were also spread to the stage, and they selected meaningful things to convey to the officers and soldiers. Of course, there was the Ming army's recapture of the Western Regions. General Guo Xin's glorious deeds that had lasted for 50 years on his own against Tubo were naturally worthy of the special tree, and Xu Yong knew about it.

The Southeast Army's attack on the Ottoman Empire was actually an unjust war.

That old Ottoman officer was the Ottoman version of General Guo Xin.

Although it is hostile, it is worthy of admiration.

Alas, Xu Yong shook his head and felt sentimental!

No matter what, the war has been fought until now, no matter what!

Xu Yong calmed down his feelings and shouted: "Continue to move forward!"

The sound of gunfire roared and the battle continued.

The Fourth Army had an offensive tide, and all four bosses went to the front line to supervise the battle and commanded the battle.

This is the new tradition of the two Chinese armies, which comes from Yan Changwu.

The former Ming official army was the highest commander in the safest place, while the Southeast Army and the New Ming Army were commanding with the commanders. Wherever the dangerous and difficult places were the most, the commanders would appear.

Because when Yan Changwu was fighting against the enemy in a fleet artillery battle, he stood on the front line to command the battle and faced the enemy's most violent artillery fire.

With this boss, who dares not fight?

The two Chinese officers are indifferent to life and death, and are an example of daring to fight, good at fighting, and winning battles. They lead the troops to defeat everything and win invincible!

Yan Changwu threw out a piece of pork and declared that he would be crowned emperor in Istanbul.

The officer below shouted: "When you fight Istanbul, everyone will be promoted and rich, and their descendants will benefit you!"

Under the leadership of the bosses, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army launched a fierce attack on the Baotou Lao. In six days, they broke the enemy's three defense lines and killed 60,000 enemy troops. The army had already died in battle and was injured by only 3,000.

The killing was like a river of blood. No matter how hard the Baotou man fought, he could not escape.

Now the Southeast Army is attacking the last line of defense of the enemy in front of us. Its core position is a city. Under the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, the city is broken down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

...

On the city wall that was beaten to pieces, Baotou leader Nicholas John Pasha looked at the Southeast Army in the distance and sighed.

The opponent's attack on Lingli would have defeated the Southeast Army if it weren't for the city height.

However, they are building fortifications and installing "Yicheng Cannons"!

Pasha was depressed when he thought of the damn Yicheng cannon.

He knew that the cannon was installed and it would be a hard battle. He calmed down and ordered his personal soldiers to prepare pens, ink and paper for him, and he wanted to write to his family.

Amid the constant gunfire of the enemy outside the city, Pasha leaned against the sandbag and wrote letters to his family with concentration.

He described the heroic defense of the Ottomans, the breaking of each defense line, and the frustration he felt that he had no ammunition or arrows could be fired.

"...The young men, without armor and not even a shield, just charged with a knife, and we had no ammunition and arrows to cover them. We watched them die in vain and fall under the infidel bullets and arrows of the pagans, and could not become warriors!" Pasha wrote in pain.

"I will fulfill my personal responsibilities. I will never tarnish my honor. I hope you all will take good care of yourself. Goodbye. I will end this letter of no way and wait for the coming of death!"

...

After writing this letter, Pasha selected a young soldier and asked him to take the letter away and send it back to Istanbul without having to return to the army.

Pasha had good intentions, but what he never expected was that the personal soldiers who sent the letter were hiding back to Istanbul and were killed by the special forces infiltrated the rear of the Southeast Army. The letter also fell into the hands of the Southeast Army.

Several years later, the letter was exhibited in the Military Museum in Rising Sun City. It was a family letter with a double-pinched ponytail, which was of great historical significance.

...

The giant cannon was fired, and the sound of the cannon was deafening. It hit the city wall like the sky collapsed and the earth was cracked, and bricks, stones, and soil flew all over the sky.

The city wall was knocked down and a gap appeared!

The destructive power of Yicheng cannons is unparalleled. Only a small number of strong cities can resist their invasion, but this city wall cannot.

Before the dust had settled, and when the smoke was still filled, a cavalry of the Fourth Army took the lead and rode his horse to the low slope of the collapsed city wall.

His figure disappeared into the city.

How could other Southeast troops be able to hold back? They immediately rose up and rushed towards the gap.

The Baotou guy in the city rushed to the gap with the will of death.

As a result, the battle between the two sides in the gap turned into hand-to-hand combat. The gap was narrow, and everyone put in their troops and fought fiercely face to face, and the soldiers were already tangled together.

The Baotou officers rushed towards the gap without hesitation, and fought with the Southeast Army at the gap. The two sides cut each other against each other, and the people were crowded with each other. The casualties of the Baotou man were severe, and the casualties of the Southeast Army were not light. Blood flowed along the slow slope of the gap like a river, and the corpses rolled under the city, piles of them. The city was filled with dead bodies, and the wounded were unable to transport them in time.

The firepower of the Southeast Army extended into the city, aiming at the enemy's 100-meter-long line to carry out blocking and shooting, isolating Baotou Lao's follow-up troops, making it impossible for Baotou Lao's second echelon to reinforce.

The shells and bombs were projected out like raindrops. This is a good tactic for the Southeast Army to fight for a long battle. It must be used by local tyrants.

Facts have proved that this tactic played a key role in the victory of the battle. In the face of several "fire walls" formed by densely blocking artillery fire, the Baotou man continued to charge at a rare level of thousands of people, continuing to do so, regardless of casualties.

The Baotou guy who could pass the "firewall" immediately entered the hand-to-hand combat, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.

Later, Cartel Utherly Pasha, the former head general of Tekilda, led the team to rush up. He ran away before, but this time he did not run.

He ate a bomb, and his face was covered in blood, but he did not retreat, rushed to the gap and died in the gap.

The main general of Baotou, Nicholas John Pasha, died in the streets of the city. No senior officer of this Baotou army surrendered. Although their soldiers were inferior and poorly equipped, they showed momentum!

"No matter what, we won!" Li Laiheng said tiredly.

Yes, the road ahead to Istanbul has been opened, and the Fourth Army continued to advance, and the scouts cavalry arrived outside Istanbul and saw the majestic walls!
Chapter completed!
