422 Capture of Budapest
"The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will win, and the attack will !!"
After the blasting was completed, the ears of the Ottoman Turkish defenders who had not been affected at the head of the city were still buzzing, and the Taiping soldiers under the city were already rushing forward with Hanyang-made rifles.
The Taiping army completely suppressed the firepower of the city head with its powerful firepower, and then buried a large number of black powder under the city wall to blast the city wall, which has become the standard siege mode of the Taiping army lacking artillery.
Although the process is rigid and boring, the effect has always been very good, because in this world, there is no army with firepower comparable to the Taiping army, even if hundreds of cannons are placed at the head of the city, they will be slaughtered by the Taiping army's riflemen in a short time!
The Taiping army did not need to destroy the enemy artillery, as long as it was enough to ensure that no artillery remained there......
This was not difficult for the Taiping army, which had Hanyang-made rifles.
This is the advantage brought by the generation gap in science and technology, compared with the backward artillery of this era, the generation difference is not just one generation, but a gap of two or three generations, and the current artillery is far from even the artillery level of the Napoleonic era!
After suppressing the firepower of the city head, the obstacle of planting explosives to blast the city wall was naturally cleared, so the success rate of the Taiping army in blasting the city wall was extremely high!
After the city wall was blown up, the Taiping soldiers quickly climbed the rubble slope and rushed up, the city was strong, and the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Army, which had been prepared for a long time, was naturally not to be outdone, and a large number of regular troops armed with smoothbore guns lined up in a neat queue to block up.
After climbing to the highest point of the slope, the Taiping soldiers immediately saw the regular Ottoman Turkish army lined up behind the city wall ready to fire a salvo, and the Ottomans would also play and line up to shoot!
After all, when attacking the European continent, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was already equipped with muskets, and they were no strangers to the tactical application of muskets.
After all, there is nothing difficult about the rigid tactics of lining up to shoot, the main thing is discipline and courage, discipline can be built little by little by long training and strict military law, and courage can be fooled by Allah...... Oh no, I mean faith to increase courage!
Dead but there are 18 virgins, how can Allah's warriors be afraid of death?
Therefore, in the early stage of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, all kinds of hanging and beating Europeans were carried out, and their brains were virginized...... No, being filled by Allah is inseparable.
In Europe and Central Asia, in addition to having enough to eat, the most important thing to encourage soldiers is religious belief, without religion, the indigenous people of the European continent and the fanatics of the Middle East will not even fight......
Religion is their foundation, which is why there are so many religious wars!
It was not until the Renaissance and the rise of various nationalisms that the European whites gradually got rid of their ignorant religious and spiritual brainwashing.
However, even in the 21st century, the influence of religion is also very huge, and the three major religions in the world are the existence that no country dares to provoke.
Don't you see, in the 21st century, the Middle East has been pressed to the ground by Europe and the United States and other countries, and is it not still messed up by all kinds of jihadist warriors and other terrorism?
Therefore, without the strength of US imperialism, don't poke the hornet's nest of the greens, this is natural political correctness!
However, the big hanger with a total war system does not care about Hong Tiancheng, as long as Allah does not really dedicate himself to crushing Hong Tiancheng with one finger, Hong Tiancheng is fearless!
After the Taiping soldiers who rushed up the slope saw the Ottoman Turkish smoothbore gunners lined up on the opposite side and ready to fire a salvo, they did not rush forward with bayonets directly, even if they won the battle, they would have killed and wounded a large number of their own troops.
The fact that the soldiers of the Taiping Army were not afraid of death did not mean that they were blindly sent to death.
The soldiers of the Taiping Army who rushed up the slope immediately found the nearest shooting position and lay down, and shot at the dense column of regular Ottoman Turkish troops standing upright opposite!
The Taiping soldiers who rushed up the slope could not fire a salvo, but the free fire of the Hanyang-made rifle was enough to inflict a large number of casualties on the enemy in a short period of time.
Naturally, the regular army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire would not just be beaten without fighting back, and the Taiping army that rushed up the slope was less than 100 meters away from them, and was completely within the effective range of the smoothbore guns.
So, when the regular army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire on the opposite side was attacked, it fired a volley in rows, the first row of fire followed by the second row, using the standard three-row round fire!
It's a pity that all the Taiping soldiers who shot were lying on the ground, and the casualties were extremely limited, even if it was within 100 meters, the hit rate of the smoothbore gun would not exceed 30 percent!
It's still a standing enemy!
The hit rate of the smoothbore gun is increasing in a curve, the closer the distance, the more amazing the increase in the hit rate, at a distance of fifty or sixty meters, the hit rate of the smoothbore gun is more than half, that is, the best shooting distance in the era of the European queue to shoot.
If you continue to advance, the hit rate will naturally increase geometrically, just like the British army in history, advancing to 20 meters to fire, basically can ensure a hit rate of more than 95 percent, the only thing that affects the lethality is that most of the bullets will be blocked by the enemy's first row of soldiers......
However, Hanyang-made rifles do not have this concern!
At a distance of less than 100 meters, Hanyang made almost a dozen accurate, and it was not ordinary soldiers who used Hanyang to make it, but Taiping soldiers with excellent marksmanship!
The production of the system must be a high-quality product, and all the rifles made in Hanyang are recruited according to the standards of the most elite troops in the history of the earth.
As a result, the Taiping side climbed to the top of the slope in fewer numbers than the Ottoman Turkish defenders on the opposite side, but they had a firm advantage.
The Taiping army had to crush the Ottoman Turkish defenders who had intercepted them before they could continue the attack, because the gap in the slope opened by the explosion was so wide that the number of Taiping soldiers who could come up was fixed.
However, the Ottoman Turkish defenders were far less heroic than their jihadist slogans, and after more than 20 percent of their soldiers were killed, the 'warriors' of the well-organized defenders naturally collapsed!
At this point, no one can stop the Taiping army from attacking the city of Budapest!
Soon, the Taiping army, which was chasing behind the rout, swarmed into Budapest, first swept the defenders at the head of the city, opened the city gate, and let the main force of the Taiping army in, and then the street fighting broke out on a large scale.
In the end, the commander of the Ottoman defenders, who realized that he was powerless, ordered the burning of grain and grass, but was extinguished in time by the Taiping army that attacked later, and only about 10% of the grain and grass were burned, mainly because the city was broken, and the Ottoman defenders were panicked and their morale collapsed......
