June 6, 1684 AD.

On the Danube River, outside Vienna.

One by one, the artillery and rocket launchers slowly shook their heads and pointed their muzzles at the Vienna Castle in the distance. The gunners were all in place, and the ammunition handlers were either carrying the shells with the tail fins installed, nervously waiting for the order to load and launch.

.Or fill the barrel of a six-unit rocket launcher one by one!

On a huge arc-shaped semicircular position built along the north, west and south sides of the city of Vienna, three siege artillery groups were ready, waiting for the flying Majesty the Sultan who had just visited the front line to issue the general attack on the city of Vienna.

Ordered.

Unlike the armies of Western Catholic and Christian countries that like to use light field artillery, the Ottoman Empire still retains the habit of using heavy artillery. Because it likes to use heavy artillery, the Ottoman Empire’s army does not have many artillery. This time it attacked Vienna

The 250,000-strong army only possessed less than 170 artillery pieces of various types, including about 150 large-caliber siege artillery pieces and 18 imitation rocket launchers. And the Vienna Castle they besieged

, although the garrison had less than 20,000 people, there were once more than 300 artillery pieces of various types, almost twice as many as the Sudanese army.

Because the city of Vienna is close to the Danube River on one side, the enemy can only launch a strong attack from the north, west, and south. The defenders can concentrate hundreds of artillery pieces in each direction!

Such strong firepower coupled with the tall and solid walls of Vienna made it a fortress that was difficult to conquer. Historically, it was indeed a huge mistake for the Ottoman army to rely on their numerical superiority to forcefully break through Vienna.

The Ottoman Empire's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Vienna in 1683 also caused it to lose its last chance to cause serious harm to the true core foundation of modern European civilization - the home base of the Franks and Anglo-Saxons.

Don't look at the fact that the Ottoman Empire has caused great harm to the Romans, Greeks and Slavs in the past few hundred years, destroying the brilliant civilization of Eastern Rome, leaving the Greek civilization half dead, and also destroying the Slavs in the Balkan Peninsula.

The people and the Slavs in the southern part of the Rakshasa Steppe suffered a lot. But as long as they did not threaten the basic base of the Franks and Anglo-Saxons, they would not pose a real blow to the modern civilization of Europeans. Living in Western Europe

The Franks and Anglo-Saxons did not have to pay attention to the sufferings of the Slavs, Romans, and Greeks in Eastern Europe. They just took advantage of the sea breeze of geographical discovery to engage in zero-dollar purchases and grab colonies all over the world to benefit their descendants.

Descendants.

But once the Ottoman Empire captured Vienna and turned the Germanic subjects of His Majesty the Divine Emperor in the minds of Western Europeans into slaves of the Caliphate, bullying them wantonly, the Anglo-Saxons on the islands might still be able to sit still, but on the Western European continent

The Franks are sure to jump.

Since ancient times, only the Franks have been able to buy other people's goods for zero dollars. Where are the Franks who have been rushed to their hometowns to do zero-dollar purchases? If we don't get the situation back, the Franks will be golden in the zero-dollar purchase market.

Isn’t the signboard smashed?

This is just like the Franks and Anglo-Saxons in later generations who punish others all over the world. Whoever dares to backhand and punish them severely and even hurt them will be punished until death!

Therefore, the Ottoman Empire's victory over Vienna was only a temporary relief, and it would be followed by a crazy counterattack by the Franks.

Once the Franks and the Ottomans fought to death, they would have no spare time to take care of the New World. Although the largest colony in the New World belonged to Spain, Spain was actually ruled by a group of Franks. This country was actually composed of a group of Western European knights.

They were conquered by the feudal lords in Spain, and later the Habsburg family took over Spain through marriage and luck. Therefore, the proportion of Franks in the upper class of Spain is quite high.

If the Franks have no spare time to take care of the New World, then Zhu Heji's American "Little Ming Kingdom" and the American Great Khanate will be opened...

However, Sultan Muhammad IV himself, who strode into a shelter built with earth and wood at this time, did not know that he had been used as a gunman to poke a hornet's nest. But even if he knew, this hornet's nest must be poked.

If you don’t poke it, the decline of the empire is inevitable!

Poke... maybe there will be a turning point!

Didn’t the Ming Empire in the East send hundreds of thousands of kilograms of military sugar to the Ottoman Empire? It also gave rocket launchers, samples of rockets, and military advisors?

This shelter was built by Ming army officers brought by Huang Zhisheng under the guidance of the Ottoman Empire's Sudanese Guards - the Sudanese Guards' construction capabilities are quite good, their marksmanship is also very good, and they can even use matchlock guns to fight flint.

Fire the gun! In addition, the Sudanese Guards are also good at throwing bombs. With the blessing of sweet gunpowder, the power of the Guards' grenades is greatly increased.

Many important ministers and generals of the Sultan were already waiting inside the shelter, including Grand Viktor Mustafa and Khan Murad Glei of the Crimean Khanate.

Before the Sultan arrived, they had commanded the Ottoman Empire's 250,000 troops to besiege the city of Vienna for more than 20 days!

Moreover, they achieved great success, otherwise the Sultan would not have stopped hunting near Belgrade and came down to the city of Vienna to pick the fruits of victory.

As long as you use a telescope to look at the city wall of Vienna in the distance, which is riddled with cannonballs, you will know that the capital of the Holy Roman Empire cannot be defended!

The destructive power of sugar gunpowder is by no means comparable to that of black gunpowder. It can not only be used to fill explosive bombs, but also can be used to blast city walls - Kara Mustafa using heavy artillery, rocket launchers, and observers on hot air balloons

Under the command, while accurately bombarding the city walls and targets inside the city, they also sent death squads to touch the roots of the city wall and repeatedly blasted the city wall with sugar-charged bombs assembled by the Ming Dynasty's military advisers.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And although the city wall of Vienna is strong, it is not a bastion with a particularly large area. Once the root of the city wall is blasted to create a relatively large gap, it will easily collapse.

The Sultan raised a telescope and observed the west wall of Vienna. He found that huge gaps had been opened one after another in the long city wall, and outside each gap there were slopes formed by the collapse of city bricks.

, were also blocked with horse-repelling guns. There were piles of corpses up and down the slope. Looking at the clothes these corpses were wearing, you can find that the number of lives lost by both warring parties in these gaps was similar. Maybe the Ottoman Empire's

There were more dead people, but their troops were almost ten times the opponent's.

They won't lose money in a one-to-one exchange!

The city of Vienna has also been hit by a lot of cannonballs and rockets these days. Near the three walls of the west, south and north, there are buildings everywhere that have been blown into ruins...

In the past seven or eight days, the Ottoman troops attacking the city have broken into the city of Vienna through those gaps many times! Although they were driven out by the Vienna defenders every time, they also consumed the strength of the Vienna defenders.

Since the day before yesterday, desperate defenders have been crawling out of the gaps and surrendering to the Ottoman army. According to the intelligence they provided, the defenders in Vienna are now on the verge of collapse.

On the one hand, the firepower of the Ottoman army was beyond their expectations. They were unable to lift their heads and suffered heavy losses!

On the other hand, several green balloons floating in the sky also caused great psychological pressure on the defenders and citizens in the city... The Sudan can fly! But no one on the Catholic side can fly!

What does this mean? Is Tianfang Sect right?

"Your Majesty," the Grand Vizier approached the Sultan, with a smile on his old face, "Please give the order! You will soon become the conqueror of Vienna... The whole of Central Europe will be conquered by the Sultan.

Your feet are shaking!"

Muhammad IV also looked proud, nodded and said: "Okay! Let's start!"
