453 Razing Istanbul
"Allah is above, what is that?"
"Mom, it's dark......"
"Please forgive me for my sins......"
…………
When the shadow fell over Istanbul, nearly half of the city's residents trembled and couldn't help but kneel down on the spot, praying in their own ways or simply going crazy and muttering words they didn't know.
Even those soldiers of the New Army with tenacity of willpower forgot their work one by one, and looked up at a group of behemoths in the sky in a daze, and at this moment, it was as if the world had become still.
The Ottoman Sultan's mouth was large enough to fit a large goose egg, and he could not close for a long time, and even the absurd idea of 'Allah is going to send divine punishment appeared in his mind.
Even the Ottoman Sultan behaved so badly, let alone others!
It can be said that at the moment when the Kirov airship bombing group appeared, half of the defending forces of the entire Istanbul army were defeated, most of the armed citizens were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and the soldiers of the new army were no better.
Of course, Hong Tiancheng will not spoil his soldiers so much, he does not need the population and wealth of Istanbul, he just wants the traditional bridgehead of Istanbul, as an advance base for the Asian continent!
The officers and men wearing red police uniforms in the Kirov airship carried out a series of operational instructions with expressionless faces, and then one after another, large bombs comparable to the power of cloudburst bombs in the 21st century fell from the sky like dumplings!
Coincidentally, the first bomb landed in the royal palace in Istanbul!
When the Ottoman Sultan's body was torn apart by the scorching flames, there was only one thought in his mind - this was Allah's punishment for his past crimes!
After the bombs fell on the city of Istanbul, the frightened armed citizens and soldiers of the New Army were immediately blown up to their senses, and they ran in all directions frantically, doing everything possible to avoid the catastrophe that fell from the sky for the sake of their lives, and many people were simply broken down by the bombing, standing in the open streets, giggling, scolding or convulsing.
All kinds of things in the world were staged in Istanbul, but unfortunately, a large number of bombs did not allow them to perform for long, and they were all razed to the ground!
Buildings were destroyed, lives were consumed, flames were burning, and the vast Istanbul city defense system and its residential areas and royal palace fortresses were all drowned in a rain of bombs.
Even Hong Tiancheng, who was standing on the high ground in the distance, could feel the heat wave and the earth-shattering loud noise, as if the thunder was whipping the world!
"If it goes on like this, let alone an hour, even if it takes half an hour, I'm afraid all the people in Istanbul will lose their combat effectiveness."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, who razed Istanbul with a thunderous victory, and with such a great victory, he could not help but annihilate the best troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and also succeeded in deterring Xiaoxiao, paving the way for the later advance into the Asian part of the Ottoman Turkish trench."
The subordinates of the surrounding system, who did not forget the opportunity, sang the praises of Hong Tiancheng's great achievements, they came from the system, and naturally they would not be surprised by the super era weapon of the Kirov airship.
In the system characters, everything that comes from the system of total war, is taken for granted.
Hong Tiancheng's pupils reflected the reflection of the firelight, and he knew that an hour of bombardment by the Kirov airship group was enough to wipe the city's millions of people off the map, and this was a weapon comparable to a cloud burst bomb, or a pile of thrown down!
The Kirov airship, a red alert weapon, does not exist in reality, it is completely a fantasy weapon in the game in Hong Tiancheng's previous life, deliberately amplifying the bombing ability and bomb load, but sacrificing mobility, and it is not practical at all on the real battlefield of the 21st century, because all kinds of fighters can completely use the Kirov airship as a target and blow it into pieces.
Unless the Kirov airship conjures up a protective shield!
In the 21st century, a flying object is a living coffin with insufficient power.
This is also the reason why fighters of the 21st century have always sought speed breakthroughs.
However, the Kirov airship, a weapon destined to be beaten by fighter jets in the 21st century, is no different from the thunder of the gods in the 17th century world......
An hour later, the Kirov airship in the sky disappeared en masse, and all traces were erased as if they had never appeared, except that the city of Istanbul below the Kirov airship had been completely engulfed in billowing smoke, and even the edge of the city wall could not be seen clearly.
In this case, let alone attack, the Taiping army will not be smoked to death if they go in!
Therefore, instead of rushing into the city of Istanbul, which was burning violently with thick smoke, the Taiping army camped on the outskirts and waited quietly for the flames of Istanbul to be extinguished.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the combustible buildings in the city of Istanbul were basically in ruins, after all, the main body of the buildings of this era were all wooden.
It is no exaggeration to say that the huge city of Istanbul has been burned to the ground!
However, after the fire was extinguished, the Taiping army was still unable to enter the city, and the smoke was too choking......
The Taiping army waited until a week had passed before sending a small force to slowly approach the city of Istanbul.
Although Istanbul's tall walls and stone buildings have crumbled, the moats outside the walls are largely intact and the moats have not been steamed......
A squad of the Taiping Army, who was in charge of armed reconnaissance, came to the trench outside the city wall and saw that it was full of 'coke' in different postures.
Although the trenches were intact, there was a serious fire here because several bombs accidentally fell into the area......
The Kirov airship bombed not stationary, although the speed was slow, but the Kirov airship still carried out the bombing extension, trying to pat the entire Istanbul defense system, and to be honest, the Kirov airship group did this......
As a result, the trenches as a whole are fairly well preserved, but the soldiers inside have been burned to carbohydrates......
The Taiping Army reconnaissance team walked around the trenches, and did not see a single living person, even if they were lucky enough not to catch fire, they would eventually choke to death by thick smoke, and many people died of suffocation due to lack of oxygen in the process of rushing out of the trenches.
The fire was so great that it was difficult to escape with two human legs.
What's more, the trench space is already narrow and dense, and it is even more difficult to escape.
The Taiping reconnaissance team crossed the moat on a homemade raft and climbed over the rubble of the bombed city wall into the city destined to go down in history.
