Chapter 572
573、Bombing Constantinople
The four emperors came to the barracks in person to encourage their troops.
“fighting!”
“This is a battle that cannot be lost! 35
“Damn it! These eastern devils of Damn it want to kill my relatives, then step over my corpse first!
Under their lies, the Han army was portrayed as a heinous demon, and the Han emperor was even described as the god who offended them – an evil spirit.
Under such circumstances, the Western coalition soldiers-soldiers went completely crazy.
In order to resist the fierce artillery of the Han army, the Western coalition forces almost demolished all the houses in the city, and then used them to reinforce the city wall.
It is very different from the Central Plains. The buildings here rarely use wood, and almost all of them are made of stone. This is one of the lucky ones.
Of course.
The Western coalition did not sit still in the city.
This time, John II personally led an army of 300,000 to ambushed not far from the northern coast of the Golden Horn.
It will be a day later when the Western coalition forces reinforce the city wall and prepare for defense.
At this time, Liu Zhao led the huge Han army fleet in their sight.
“coming!”
“The fleet of the Han army is here!”
“Must hold the port of Marmara Bay!””
Western coalition soldiers immediately became serious.
Constantinople is a seaport city.
The whole city is in the shape of an inverted boot.
To the north is the Golden Horn, to the south is the Bos Orus Strait, to the south is the Gulf of Marmara, and to the west it borders the land, so it can be said to be surrounded by the sea on three sides.
Of course, although it is said to be surrounded by the sea on three sides, except for the port near the Sea of Marmara, the other two sides are protected by solid city walls, and there is no way for ships to land, so their defense focus is the port.
Many people are powerful.
After mobilizing 100,000 soldiers, after a night of time, they finally built a city wall temporarily at the port, but the wall is definitely not as solid as the other three.
At this time, a full 500,000 troops were responsible for the defense of this area.
“It seems that they still want to fight to the end!
Liu Zhao sighed.
He didn’t want to kill.
To be precise, he has regarded the people here as his own people.
However, in the current situation, it is impossible not to attack the city.
“let’s start!”
Liu Zhao waved his hand gently.
…for flowers ·
And now Liu Zhao has also fulfilled his promise to Long Meiren, who stands beside Liu Zhao in uniform.
“Your Majesty has a purpose, the former army bombards the southern city wall!””
Long Meiren immediately conveyed Liu Zhao’s order.
Following the order, more than a thousand battleships lined up in front of the fleet, with the southern city wall of Constantinople on the side.
Soon.
0..
A door of dark gun barrels are exposed on both sides of the hull.
“Bang~~”
‘bang~~’
With two loud bangs, the bombardment of Constantinople officially kicked off.
A warship has thirty guns on one side.
A thousand warships, is a full 30,000 artillery pieces.
Thirty thousand artillery pieces fired at the same time, and the scene was magnificent.
In just ten minutes, the southern city wall of Constantinople was in jeopardy.
“Quick! Quickly strengthen the city wall!
“Coward, don’t hide under the city wall, hurry up and move the stones to strengthen the city wall!
“When the city wall is broken and the Han army comes in, you will all die, and so will your relatives!”
The middle and low-level generals of the Western coalition forces desperately command.
At this time, these soldiers in the southern city wall were already frightened and stupid.
