Dolgon escaped because Ao Ye was in trouble.

For the Ottomans, the Ming were an invading army, and what was even worse was that these people were still infidels. The invading army plus the infidels, who were wreaking havoc on their own land, the Ottomans would not agree.

So Ao Ye fell into the vast sea of the people's war!

A squad of fighters entered the village to investigate, but disappeared. Half an hour later, when the large army was reinforced, the village seemed to be normal, speaking fluent Turkic to the officers and soldiers. Of course, no one understood what they said.

Finally, the missing warriors were found in the dung pit, naked and without a trace of clothing. Seeing that the body had been found, the village chief pulled out an Aka rifle from under the pyre with a hideous face, and prepared to pull the trigger on the soldiers. His gun didn't go off because the second cargo wouldn't have opened the safe.

The angry fighters began to kill, and the officers, naturally, did not stop. They also hated the Ottomans, who died yesterday when they were stirring horses in a pot, and today they are cold corpses.

Constantinople was a large city connecting Europe and Asia, and millions of peasants lived around the city. These people don't have advanced weapons, and many of them are knives or dung forks.

But it's annoying, and these people always rely on familiarity with the terrain. It's not a bad thing to do things like a whistle at night and a trap during the day.

The traps dug by the Ottomans were very immoral, about a foot deep, and they were very cleverly camouflaged. At the bottom of the trap, a wooden board with several large nails was placed.

As soon as the fighters stepped into it, the soles of their feet would be pierced through.

In just two days, the troops controlled a large area, but there were more than 500 wounded soldiers. The vast majority are victims of such traps.

So much so that when the soldiers marched, many of them tied a piece of wood to the soles of their feet.

Soon more vicious tricks were used, and the two children walked past the soldier with baskets on their shoulders. Taking advantage of the soldiers' inattention, they actually lit the homemade bomb inside the basket. Fortunately, the improvised bombs were not very powerful, and the soldiers dodged in time. Only a few people were slightly injured, and the rest were taken aback.

The child was thrown into the pyre by the angry warriors and burned, and the father of the child, who came out with an axe and desperately stood, was beaten into a sieve by bullets. I don't know what to think, could it be that when I let my child do such a dangerous thing, I didn't think that others would retaliate?

The well was thrown into the carcasses of rotting cows, sheep and sheep, and even the dead. Legends about the bloody brutality of the Ming army quickly dispersed among the Ottomans.

A large number of refugees began to flock to Constantinople, which was overcrowded for a time, and housing prices skyrocketed.

The Sultan army was wise not to meet Ao Ye's first division. Constantinople was now very empty, with a little more than 20,000 defenders. This, of course, is the number of regular troops.

As for the irregular army, the Sultan claimed to have a million armor. Of course, the ghosts know that this is a claimed number of people.

Every step is a killing, and the footsteps of a division's attack are known as one bloody footprint at a time.

It was not until the seventh day that Nie Dahu's two regiments bypassed the Golden Horn and occupied the high ground on the north side of the Golden Horn. The siege of Constantinople is officially complete!

In the camp for wounded soldiers, Li Xiao walked among the wounded soldiers. Many people were wounded by traps, and in the face of the invaders, the people of the Ottoman Empire used their ingenuity to the fullest. They took up all the weapons they could to fight the aggressor, and their courage was very commendable.

Li Xiao even found that someone had an arrow wound!

The annoying thing is that these bolts are coated with some feces and the like before they are fired. The Ottomans hoped that this would cause infection, but what they didn't expect was that with the joint efforts of John Tang and Li Zhongzi, Daming developed a drug called penicillin.

"Will he be able to keep his feet?" The warrior in front of him was more miserable, he was caught in the calf by the trap of the beast. It looks like the calf bones are broken.

"Thankfully, it was the calf that was caught and there was a lot of hope for recovery. If you get caught in the ankle, it is estimated that this foot will not be saved. "The military doctor is a student of John Tang and has a lot of research in orthopedics.

"Keep these legs, he's still young, and he still has a long way to go in this life." Li Xiao looked at this immature face, only eighteen or nineteen years old. The beard on the side of the lips is faint, still a layer of fluff.

This is a half-grown child, but he has been drafted to the battlefield thousands of miles away.

Li Xiao patted the little guy's head: "Does it hurt?" ”

The little guy saw that Li Xiao was very nervous, nodded, and then shook his head quickly.

"Huh! Don't be nervous, where is your hometown? ”

"Zibo, Shandong!"

"Zibo! Zibo is a good place, an ancient city! Zhoucun, Zhangdian! ”

"My family is Zhangdian's, has the handsome been to my house?"

"I've been there before, and I've eaten your Zhoucun's baked cakes." Li Xiao replied with a smile.

"What is the baked cake in Zhou Village, we have an old Zhang head in our shop, and the meat cake is called delicious. Dashuai didn't go to our store, it's a loss! The young man looked sorry.

"Okay, next time I have the opportunity to go to Zibo, I must go to Lao Zhangtou's meatloaf shop for a meal, call you, I'll treat you!"

"Really?" The young man's eyes were shining, and his dark eyes were full of joy.

"Really?" Li Xiao nodded.

"Then how can I let the handsome treat me, I am from Zibo, and I should entertain guests. I'm in for a treat! The boy beat his chest.

"Good! You're in for a treat, and I'm waiting to eat the meatloaf you invited. "Still a hospitable snacker, Li Xiao looked at him and thought back to when he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Handsome! I have something to ask you. Maybe he was familiar with Li Xiao, Xiao Bing asked tremblingly.

"Say!" Li Xiao is very interested, what does a little soldier want to ask himself?

"I want to ask you why we have come so far to fight. Good guys, it's been a boat ride for months. The boy was seriously confused.

"This one! You don't know, the Ottomans had something called oil beneath the ground. This is a good thing, let's get it here to ensure that our children and grandchildren have something to eat.

I sent someone to ask the Ottoman emperor, but not only did they not give it, but they also cut off the heads of our envoys and sent them back to me. You say, can we bear this breath? ”

"Dog's day! I can't bear it, I want to cut off the head of their emperor and send it to you, the handsome. What we want, your blessing on the day of the dog. ”

Oh, my God! The handsome man has been wronged! The young man was filled with righteous indignation, and he wanted to pounce on it immediately and bite the emperor of the Ottoman Empire to death.

"That's it! That's why I brought you here to ask them when the emperor's head would be cut off and sent over. We ask them for things because we can afford them. ”

"That's right! Dashuai, what you want, even if it is the king of heaven, you have to give it to us obediently. Dashuai, you are in a hurry, and when my leg is healed, I will go to their emperor. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Xiao smiled and patted the young man's shoulder.

Walking out of the tent, Li Xiao turned to Ao Ye and said, "Morale is very important, we have some things that we haven't done well." Give the officers a lecture now, and tell them why we have come so far to fight.

Warriors! Yuya! Anger first, then courage! We must tell the whole army about the killing of our envoys, so that all the officers and men will be angry. Got it? Li Xiao felt that he had regressed, and Crete had a lot of time, but he did not engage in pre-war mobilization.

I have been an official for a long time, and I have forgotten the fine traditions of rabbits. Damn it! Damn it!

Faced with blood and death all day long, and having seen merciless killing, everyone has a war-weary feeling in their hearts. This is where faith becomes extremely important. During this period of time, the battle did not go well, and it was also related to the fact that the soldiers had been fighting outside for a long time and their morale was somewhat sluggish.

Out of the wounded barracks, Li Xiao took an airship to take a look at the legendary city that had stood for thousands of years. The megalithic walls are grayish-white and even a little dazzling in the sun. Ottoman soldiers were constantly passing through the city, pointing at the airships and even shooting arrows upwards.

Of course, the bow and arrow can't shoot a two-thousand-meter-high airship, and the range is Li Xiao, who is holding a telescope, as if he is watching a monkey show. Look at the horrified horde of Ottoman soldiers shouting!

Li Xiao noticed that the Ottoman soldiers on the city walls were all wearing armor. He also wears a waist knife on his waist! It's clear that these guys are out of touch with the times.

War is a contest of human supreme technology, strength, and will, and it is undeniable that the Ottoman soldiers may be strong-willed. However, in terms of technology and strength, they are not Da Ming's opponents at all.

For Da Ming, they are just piles of meat on the battlefield.

"Drive over and shoot twice." Li Xiao put down the binoculars and ordered.

"No, absolutely not." Ao Ye immediately stopped it, and Sun Xing next to him also persuaded him.

"You are related to the future of all our Liao army, you want to see the scenery and let the escort airship go to strafe, let's just watch it here, you can't go over anyway." Ao Ye pulled Li Xiao, and Li Hu was already warning the pilot that he was not allowed to act according to Li Xiao's orders.

That's the end of it, blocked by the people of the all-airship. The pilots did not dare to brave the world's condemnation and drive to the huge stone walls to bomb.

"Alright! Let the escort airship go up and strafe it, and let them know that the sky also needs to be defended. Li Xiao saw that the Ottoman people were debugging the cannon, and it was actually pre-loaded in the breech.

Li Xiao is very curious, can he still have a good head when he hits two kilometers? Besides, this thing can't shoot angles, I haven't heard that this thing can be used as an anti-aircraft gun.

The gunners laboriously loaded the shells, and the rest laboriously adjusted the angle of fire. Li Xiao felt that if this thing was fired, the cannon would fly out directly.

It's a pity that the gunners worked in vain. Before they could light the fuse, the twin two-five rapid-fire cannon on the escort airship was already roaring. Strings of cannonballs, whipped on the city walls.

The Ottoman soldiers wearing armor were hit by double two or five cannonballs, and their bodies immediately turned into a cloud of blood mist. With the naked eye, human body fragments can be seen scattered and scattered. Although it was far away, it was as if you could smell blood in your nose.

Armor, the armor worn on the body of these years, is really no different from cloth clothes.

In fact, Li Xiao felt that this kind of double-two-five rapid-fire gun was the most cruel artillery. Although the large-caliber artillery was far more lethal than it, those shells exploded into a cloud of smoke when they hit it.

You can't see anything clearly under the smoke of gunpowder, and the Double 25 rapid-fire gun is the smallest caliber artillery. Although it is the smallest caliber artillery, it is definitely not something that the human body can bear.

When a cannonball hits the body, the person is instantly turned into a mass of minced meat.

The huge body of the airship swayed above the city walls, reaping human lives like a god of death. Soon the airship turned at an angle and fired at another row of two-two-five rapid-fire guns on top of the airship.

The Ottoman soldiers on the city walls howled and fled, they had never seen such a weapon and had never experienced such a battle.

The armoured soldiers quickly collapsed, threw away their blades, and ran frantically under the walls. If Li Xiao wants to attack the city at this time, he will definitely win.

"What's the point of his grandmother's fight, send a few airships and it's over." Ao Ye looked at the results of the battle, and he was the most surprised. He was resistant to everything that was not part of the army, and he always believed that combat should be upright and upright, and that he should not engage in intrigues and tricks like Li Xiao.

However, he also admitted that it was easy to fight with Li Xiao. Li Xiao always puts the enemy in the most unfavorable situation before attacking. The Liao army summed up up that Li Xiao's tactics were like wolves. He will always show up when you least want to fight.

Ao Ye's tactics are more like a tiger, knocking the opponent to the ground with absolute strength.

Li Xiao is more cunning, and Ao Ye is even more ferocious. It also seems to have something to do with the individual's personality!

"It's not for you to think about the things in the city, and to fight like this today is to make them no longer dare to come out. All you have to do now is take out the reinforcements from the west. In this war, we must completely defeat the Ottoman Empire's capital to dominate the Middle East.

In the future, we will build oil fields, ports, and ensure the safety of the Suez Canal Zone. It is not enough to have an Ottoman Empire with sufficient human resources! ”

"Got it, don't leave it alive. I think there are more than a million people in this city. Do you mean, you also kill the city? ”

"Why do you think you want to drive all the peasants around you into the city?"

"You're really going to kill the people of this city, there are millions of them."

"With the peasants pouring into the city, the population has long since exceeded one million. It is estimated that there will be two million people, as long as you don't let them out, you still have to deal with reinforcements from the west if you have extra experience. ”

Li Xiao's words couldn't be clearer, he really had the intention of killing everyone in Constantinople. I just don't know what Li Xiao is going to do. That's more than a million people!

"We don't need to kill, hunger is the best weapon. Cities of nearly two million people need a lot of food every day. trapped them for half a year, and it is estimated that there will be no one inside. ”
