Chapter 465 Simon Crisis
Open artillery ~ "The coalition forces are approaching, and the heavy artillery is also immediately bombarded with face.
Boom~ The three heavy guns only blew up a few twelve-pounder guns, and the artillery scattered after the shelling also continued to accelerate forward.
It has been bombarded for several rounds, but the results are not great. It is also difficult for heavy artillery to accurately hit moving targets.
"Mountain artillery preparation, all free fire!" Grand and the main general also wanted to keep the three heavy guns, but he didn't have much confidence either.
Twenty twelve-pounder guns rushed straight to three kilometers without stopping, and their target seemed to be under the city gates.
The slower Maozi field artillery also began to rush to a distance of four kilometers, and they also began to withstand heavy artillery bombardment.
"Kill them first!" There was no way, Grande and could only take out these advancing Ottoman artillerymen first.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to shoot at the advancing Ottoman artillery.
Boom ~ Boom ~ A burst of cannon fire shook again.
Even though the Ottoman artillery was scattered, nearly a hundred guns bombarded them in just two rounds.
"Hey!" Bursa Dong Shuai Shuai smiled helplessly, they all seemed to be accompanying the role of cannon fodder in the Ottoman Empire.
"Good! Hasten! Hasten! "Witnessing the Ottoman artillery flying, the Maozi artillery laughed and accelerated.
After two rounds of artillery fire, the remaining two dozen field guns also began to counterattack. Their target was not those mountain guns, but exposed barrels.
"Hurry up~ hurry up and reload!" While the heavy gunners were busy, they did not yet know that more than two dozen shells had flown over.
Boom ~ Boom ~ The explosion was louder and louder, and the shells of the eight heavy guns were also detonated, and the battery completely collapsed.
Bump~ The stone flew down next to the barrel, and the gunner breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quick! Reload and fire! ”
Then Maozi's artillery death squad was completely finished, and they were already dead by concentrated fire.
"Good!" The heavy artillery is finally dead! Grand Duke Gonov nodded in satisfaction.
Bursa is also speechless! This kind of victory is not a good thing!
"Dongshuai can't wait! We have more than two hundred artillery pieces left, and immediately start advancing and bombarding! "Let Osman take the lead, that's why Gornov is happy.
Bursa also did not object to immediately nodding: "Good! We will each give out a hundred guns! Be sure to clear the Simon's small turrets! ”
"Uh-huh!" Seeing that Bursa did not send all the artillery, Gonov was also a little depressed.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the artillery battle stopped.
Today's walls are torn in all directions, and even the reinforced concrete has a limit to what it can withstand.
"Great Khan, it's a pity that all our forts have been destroyed! There is not much artillery left in Beimao, but there are still a lot of artillery in the Ottoman army! Grande said disappointedly! The technology of the Beimao artillery is much stronger than theirs, otherwise they would not have been destroyed so quickly with the protection of the battery.
There are still a lot of artillery pieces on the southern wall, but they have all been fixed and blocked! Even if it can be pulled over, the movement of transporting it to the city will not be small!
"Hey! Grand and you guys have done their best! In this battle, our army also destroyed most of the enemy's artillery! In particular, the Beimao artillery suffered heavy casualties. "There is not a hint of blame for the long-range suppression of Erdan's new rifle.
……
"Don't worry, our army still has more than eighty six-pounder guns, and they can bombard the city wall tomorrow." The artillery of Beimao is finished, and the laughter of Bursa has not stopped. Although his own family also suffered heavy losses, it was a headache for the sixth generation.
Grand Duke Gonov could only say lightly: "So good! Tomorrow, rely on your army to attack first! ”
"This!" There was no way, Bursa could only smile and nod bitterly.
Sent away the annoying Dongshuai, and Gonov immediately sent a letter to the rear asking for help.
The second group of people from the Northern ** country also began to assemble, ready to join the big war behind! It is not difficult to destroy Simon, but the anger of the empire must be stopped by the army.
"Hey! I didn't expect the Simons to prepare so many artillery pieces as well! "Grand Duke Gonov didn't expect that the Simons would have so many new artillery!
After a bombardment on the morning of the second day, the coalition forces also began to launch an infantry sea charge.
Now the walls have been flattened, and the outer layer is full of cracks!
"Oh a pity!" Grand and the Lord sighed: the three hundred small cannons that were originally prepared are now only nearly a hundred!
After the siege began, the soldiers of Simon also began to lose a lot of money! Although nearly 100 tiger squatting cannons have also exhausted the first batch of shells of the Ottoman army, the range suppression of the new rifle is not something that the firearm can counterattack!
Fortunately, there are city walls and caves, otherwise Simon's soldiers will collapse quickly.
"Hey! I hope the Empire's reinforcements will be sooner! "Batch after batch of corpses were carried down, and Gerdan didn't know how long they could hold out! Fortunately, the artillery fire of the coalition forces also began to mute, otherwise the big wooden escape on the city wall would not be able to block some of the rifle bullets.
During the fierce battle in the city of Simon, the 200,000 cavalry of General Ramatai also began to attack the border between the Northern ** Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire.
Ramattei's actions also made it temporarily impossible for the coalition rear to deliver supplies. However, a new batch of armies from both countries was also being assembled, and Ramatai's cavalry could not hold out for long.
Twelve days later, 100,000 cavalry of the coalition army also arrived at King Simon with a large number of supplies and artillery. Ramathai, who suffered heavy losses, took more than 100,000 defeated soldiers, and temporarily retreated to the east as soon as he retreated!
"Haha good! Let the artillery receive artillery tomorrow! Grand Duke Gonov laughed with joy: these days, the Simon Kingdom has also brought in dozens of artillery pieces one after another, and as a result, it has exhausted the cannonballs transported by the Ottoman sailors!
Bursa was also very happy, although the coalition army only suffered tens of thousands of casualties, they were never able to climb the city walls! "Good! With these twenty heavy cannons, the wall of the obstruction will be finished! ”
The coalition forces did not suffer many casualties, but the Simon army had already suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the morale of some of the tribal soldiers had fallen to the bottom.
"Great Khan! This time, Beimao brought twenty heavy artillery pieces and fifty field guns! I'm afraid the walls won't last for a few days! "Grande doesn't have much confidence now!
Geldan nodded bitterly: "Ten days at the latest, the Third Legion of the Empire will be able to arrive!" Pity! But we may not be able to keep it for another ten days! ”
"Great Khan! Hold on for a few more days, and if it doesn't work, we'll go into the bunker! Hopefully, in a month, the Empire will regain the royal city! "The elder of the big clan also thought of the final plan!
The bunker can only hold up to 20,000 people, and the food and water inside will only last for a month! But once some secret vents are discovered, then they can only be suffocated!
"The bunker is going to be entered! But hold on to the palace! Only in this way can we ensure the smooth flow of the main air outlet! "To be honest, Gerdan doesn't want to hide in a rat hole, this is not Simon's brave style!
The silent elder of the two clans was also very calm at this time, and now he also said: "If the Great Khan can't hold on to the city wall, you can take Zhan Peng and leave!" ”
Now Simon King City also has four battle pengs, which is enough to take a small number of people!
