Chapter 1073: The Battle of Constantinople (3)

Seeing the thousands of coalition soldiers being defeated from afar, and learning about the battle situation on the front line, the senior leaders of the coalition army, led by the Duke of Salmonburg, were very shocked and angry.

"The guns of the Ming battleships are too powerful, and they can't stop the Ming army from crossing the strait to board the 6, or even prevent the Ming army from attacking the city of Constantinople!" The commander of the Holy Roman Army, who commanded the army of the Holy Roman Empire, said angrily.

The range of the naval guns of the Ming battleships was too far, not only the beachhead along the coast, but also most of the city of Constantinople was shrouded, through the large-scale rout and damage of the beachhead, the top level of the coalition forces had to admit that as long as it was under the threat of the Ming naval guns, with the powerful power of the Ming naval guns, the coalition forces wanted to stop the Ming army, and the price paid was not at all what the coalition forces could bear.

The high-ranking members of the coalition forces present were very frustrated, and if they wanted to resist the Ming army and defeat the Ming army, they had to deploy separately.

"Constantinople is no longer the best place to resist the Ming army, the coalition forces must all withdraw to the rear of Constantinople, as long as they are free from the threat of the Ming naval artillery, the absolute superiority of the coalition forces can be wielded!" Salmonburg, the nominal supreme commander of the coalition forces, said.

Because of the threat of the guns of the 100 battleships of the Ming Dynasty, the coalition forces suffered heavy losses and had to abandon the plan to prevent the Ming army from boarding 6 on the beachhead, but instead fought a decisive battle with the Ming army in the rear of Constantinople outside the range of the naval guns of the Ming battleships.

Immediately, under the order of the commander of the coalition forces, Salmonburg, the remaining 900,000 troops of the coalition army all withdrew from Constantinople, ceded Constantinople to the Ming army of Deng 6, and transferred to the rear of Constantinople to deploy defensive positions on a large scale.

Knowing that the European anti-Ming coalition army retreated beyond the range of battleship guns and 'ceded' Constantinople to the Ming army of Deng 6, Ji Feng, the commander of the Ming army, was not surprised at all.

"European countries still know how to make trade-offs!" Ji Feng sneered.

Constantinople is indeed very important, but it is too unwise for Constantinople to compete with the Ming army under the powerful guns of the Ming battleships, and there is no other way for European countries to choose otherwise.

After the European anti-Ming coalition army withdrew from Constantinople, without the hindrance of the soldiers of the anti-Ming coalition army, the Ming army accelerated the degree of ascending 6, which was originally able to climb 64,000 people every half an hour, but now it has been increased to the scale of 65,000 people per half hour, which is 10,000 in an hour. In two days and two nights at most, the 430,000 Ming troops will be able to complete the boarding, and then they will attack the remaining 900,000 or so European anti-Ming coalition troops.

The Ming army was in Garden 6, and the European anti-Ming coalition forces were also building and strengthening defensive lines as much as possible.

After two days and two nights, all the 430,000 troops of the Ming army had boarded the 6 and entered the city of Constantinople to confront the European anti-Ming coalition forces that retreated to the western suburbs of Constantinople.

On the other hand, the European coalition forces have also strengthened and added more defenses on the basis of the original defenses.

"The European coalition forces are really better at using firearms than the Qing army, and their experience in using the army is much stronger than that of the Qing army!" Ji Feng, the commander of the Ming army, said after observing the positions of the European anti-Ming coalition forces in front of him with a telescope.

European countries have more than 100 years of experience in large-scale use of muskets and artillery in warfare, and over the years, they have accumulated a great deal of experience in warfare, which is not comparable to the Manchu people who have lived on horseback since childhood.

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty also formed its first dragon breaking army musket team more than 30 years ago, it was later redressed into a flint team. However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not use the firearms army as the main means of warfare, and still used cold weapons such as the Manchu Eight Banners to fight, until a few years before the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the new gunpowder and primer technology at the same time, the rifle was imitated, and it really began to replace thermal weapons on a large scale, and even the Manchu Eight Banners began to use imitation rifles.

However, a few years of time is simply not enough to make the Manchurian Eight Banners from an army that has always been dominated by cold-weapon cavalry charges into an army with rich experience in weapon combat, otherwise it would not have attacked the Ming army with cavalry charges in the face of the powerful firepower of the Ming army when fighting with the Ming army.

The habit of charging at the Manchu Eight Banners affected the Manchu people at the same time, but also affected the Qing army that respected the Manchu people.

You must know that the Qing army had a total of 520,000 rifle troops and more than 100,000 flint spear troops, even if the guns were much more backward than the Ming army, but it would not be until the two million army was wiped out, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was completely wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, but it did not kill or wound a total of more than 30,000 Ming troops, and the casualty ratio was as large as being slaughtered by the Ming army, which was the evil result of the lack of long-term large-scale thermal weapons operations.

And the countries of the European anti-Ming coalition army, more than 100 years, plus the battle of the Americas 6, the Ming army's expedition to France, etc., have allowed them to gain a lot of lessons and experience.

The defensive positions of the European anti-Ming coalition army were much more sophisticated than those built by the Qing army.

Of course, even if the European countries are more adept at using thermal weapons to fight and deploy defenses according to the various characteristics of thermal weapons, the Ming army still has full confidence in defeating them, after all, experience is one thing, and the real comprehensive combat effectiveness of the army is another.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of 10,000 Ming troops is definitely not less than the combat effectiveness of 50,000 European anti-Ming coalition armies equipped with rifles, and as for those European flintlock armies, the combat effectiveness of 100,000 is not as high as that of 5,000 Ming troops.

At that time, the Ming army pushed out a 90-millimeter caliber field cannon and aimed it at the defensive positions of the European anti-Ming coalition forces in front.

The Ming artillery jerked the ramming rope.

"Boom, boom, boom----" The position of the anti-Ming alliance army in front of it suddenly exploded into countless flames.

"Attack!" Tens of thousands of Ming troops attacked the positions of the European anti-Ming coalition forces in front.

On the side of the European anti-Ming coalition forces, they relied on trenches and bunkers to shoot at the attacking Ming army.

"Papapa---" bullets fly.

The performance of the rifles produced by Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Portugal, Holy Rome, Austria and other seven countries is not lower than the performance of the first generation of rifles imitated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even slightly higher.

Relying on the killing distance of hundreds of meters from the rifle, even if the firepower of the European anti-Ming coalition army is far inferior to that of the Ming army, it can also kill and injure the Ming soldiers who have been attacked.

"Poof! Burst! Poof--- "Some of the attacking Ming soldiers were hit by bullets and fell to the ground.

Ming soldiers urgently set up light and heavy machine guns and fired at the anti-Ming coalition forces in Europe.

---The fire of the machine guns was very strong, and a large number of soldiers of the European anti-Ming coalition army were swept away.

"Boom! Boom! The "Dong ---" mortar also bombarded the positions of the European anti-Ming coalition forces, and the curved trajectory of the projectiles could directly hit the shells into the trenches of the European anti-Ming coalition forces.

"Ah---h

----Under the cover of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, the Ming infantry carried rifles and attacked quickly while firing their guns.
