Chapter 1072: The Battle of Constantinople (2)
"Repel the Ming army and drive them back to the sea!" A European anti-Ming coalition general shouted and ordered his soldiers to attack the Ming army that began to ascend 6.
Due to the limited location of the beachhead, the Ming army was able to climb up to 64,000 people every half hour. On the other hand, on the side of the European anti-Ming coalition army, there are millions of troops, which can continuously dispatch many times more than the Ming army of Deng 6, or even more than ten times the soldiers of Deng 6, to besiege the Ming army of Deng 6, and the Ming army of Deng 6 is exhausted.
Generally speaking, relying on a more favorable defensive location and a large number of superior soldiers, the European anti-Ming coalition army should have a great deal of confidence in resisting the Ming army to ascend 6, and besieging and killing round after round of Ming troops who could only ascend 6 in limited numbers.
However, the Ming army was supported by the huge naval guns of 100 battleships, even if the Ming army was only a few thousand people in each round of 6, but with the support of naval guns, the European anti-Ming alliance army wanted to rely on the absolute superiority of the number to besiege the Ming army on the beachhead, but there was no possibility.
"Boom, boom, boom---- 2,000 naval guns bombarded every inch of land within 7,000 meters of the northern shore of the Strait of Constantine, and even most of the city of Constantinople was within this range.
Most of the million-strong army of the European Anti-Ming Alliance gathered in the rear of the city of Constantinople, and they continuously sent troops through Constantinople to kill the beachhead of the Ming army's 6, intending to prevent the Ming army from ascending6.
It is a pity that under the bombardment of the guns of the battleships of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the European Anti-Ming Alliance had just rushed into the range of the artillery bombardment of the battleships of the Ming Dynasty, and their eyes were already full of fear.
Some of the less willed armies had not yet passed through Constantinople to the beachhead of the Ming army to ascend 6, and they had already been blown up and routed halfway.
Even if there are alliance troops with strong wills to kill the beachhead, there is basically no concealment in the beachhead area, and it is completely exposed to the guns of the Ming battleships.
This is an army of a small city gang, about 3,000 people, they are relatively determined, even if more than 300 people were killed in the middle of the bombing, there are still more than 2,000 people killed on the beachhead to besiege and kill the Ming army of Deng 6.
"Attack! Drive the damned Ming army back to the sea! The commander of the army of this small city-state roared, and led his more than 2,000 city-state soldiers to kill the Ming army, which had already ascended to the 6th.
However, they had just rushed into the beachhead, which had hardly any concealment, and before they could rush in front of the Ming troops who had boarded the 6th, they were first bombarded by the naval guns of the Ming battleships cruising on the sea surface of the strait.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The powerful naval artillery shells exploded in the city-state's army, and in an instant flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the stumps and arms were broken all over the ground.
A 305 mm caliber naval artillery shell has a killing range of nearly 100 meters.
"Boom!" More than two dozen soldiers of the city-state's army were blown into the air, and nearly forty others were swept to the ground by the blazing waves, injured to varying degrees.
Even if the caliber of the secondary gun is much smaller than that of the main gun, the killing range of a single shell is about 30 meters, and it can kill and injure more than 20 people on this beachhead, where there is no concealment.
In just half a minute, hundreds of naval artillery shells bombarded intensively, and the city-state army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties!
Combined with the casualties at the distance through Constantinople, the city-state army had not yet rushed in front of the Ming army on the 6th, and it was believed that under the increasingly fierce naval artillery bombardment, more than half of the casualties would soon be killed.
The commander of this city-state army was also swept to the ground by the blazing waves just now, and after getting up in embarrassment, he looked at the miserable situation around him, his body was cold, his legs trembled, and his face was pale! The voice trembled: "This is not war!" It's a massacre! ”
"They are all devils! Withdraw, withdraw! The commander was completely demoralized, and desperately retreated with the rest of his soldiers, away from the battlefield.
Although they were an army of city-states, they had fought against the great powers of Europe, but they had never seen such a terrible war, let alone born in them, they were able to support the beachhead, which was already stronger than many of the Union armies that were defeated halfway.
After the city-state army reached the beachhead, it was routed by naval artillery in front of the Ming army that did not reach Deng6.
Of course, there are also alliance troops who are more heroic than them, such as this 5,000-strong French elite, who bravely withstood the fierce bombardment of naval artillery without collapsing, and killed them in front of the Ming army on the 6th.
It's just that what awaits them is the light and heavy machine guns of the Ming army, which have already formed a defense.
"Da -----" dozens of light and heavy machine guns formed a dense firepower network, sweeping and killing this group of 'heroic' French elites.
In an instant, dozens, hundreds of French soldiers were swept away, and many more were swept and killed in the future.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Coupled with the continuous bombardment of naval artillery, this 5,000-strong French elite also suffered more than half of the casualties in just three minutes.
Another minute passed, and again there were French soldiers killed and wounded.
Tragic! In less than ten minutes, most of the 5,000 elites were killed and wounded, and they were still advancing towards the annihilation of the entire army at an extremely fast pace.
At this moment, the elite commander of France was also cold and full of despair.
The reason why he was able to take the elite under his command and kill the Ming army in front of the Ming army in front of the bombardment of the naval guns with great courage was because they had experienced the humiliation of the Ming army's expedition to France, and the whole of France was defeated by 30,000 Ming troops. For more than a decade, the King of France has been preaching this shame in the French army, telling every French soldier that he will be bloodied in the future.
Even if the propaganda of the King of France is not useful to all French armies, there are always a few more 'angry youths', from which they gain strong willpower and support their more 'heroic'.
But it was useless, under the huge casualties, even the killed and wounded Ming soldiers were less than twenty, and the strong will also collapsed.
"Withdraw! Fall back! The commander of the French army shouted in fear and rage, and if they did not retreat, their army would be completely annihilated, which was a terrible result.
Although the commander of the French army wanted to kill a large number of Ming troops and avenge the shame of France back then, he could not continue in the face of the consequences of the annihilation of the entire army and the impossibility of killing and wounding many Ming troops.
In fact, before the commander of the French army gave his order, the remnants of the French soldiers had already collapsed first, after all, as ordinary soldiers, their will was not as strong as that of this commander.
Five thousand French elites, less than a thousand when they retreated in defeat! It's so miserable!
But this was not the end, and before they withdrew from the beachhead, they were still completely exposed to the guns of the Ming battleships on the surface of the strait, and were heavily bombarded by the naval guns.
"Boom! Rumble! The "bombardment---- was intense, and a large number of French soldiers who were fleeing were blown away.
The commander of the French army was not as fortunate as the commander of the city-state's army, and escaped safely from the distance of the beachhead, which was directly exposed to the ship's guns, and when he was halfway through his escape, he was exploded by a 305-mm main artillery shell.
"Ah---" The body of the commander of the French army was completely blown apart, and his bones were gone, and more than a dozen French soldiers who were also beside him were also blown away and buried with him.
By the time the French army had fled the beachhead, there were less than 200 remaining in the elite contingent of 5,000 men.
This French army and the city-state army were only two of the alliance armies that had reached the beachhead, and many more armies from other countries had also reached the beachhead, and they were also bombarded by the guns of the Ming battleships on the strait, as if they had been slaughtered in blood.
In just one hour, there were more than 30,000 corpses floating on this beachhead, and there were also as many Union soldiers killed and wounded in Constantinople and other areas where they were also bombarded by naval artillery, and in such a short period of time, the Union army lost no less than 70,000 soldiers! Terror!
