The information that the Chinese army entered and destroyed the Qaza Dynasty was quickly sent to various countries in the Western Continent.
They started to panic completely this time. If the western part of Central Continent is taken by China, then the next step is very likely to attack Xizhou. The current situation of their army is that they may not be able to withstand China's warships and cannons.
The "Anti-Stone Alliance" headed by the United Kingdom and the Gallic Kingdom began to further expand, and they began to discuss the next step on the second floor of the Louvre Richelieu Hall in the Gallic Kingdom.
The richness and splendor of the paintings and carvings in this living room exude luxury.
There are actually 10 countries gathered here. They have been fighting each other for so many years. They have always been intrigues and intrigues. It is a miracle that they can sit together this time.
"If the tiger and wolf army of China occupies the western part of Central Continent, the next step will definitely be to attack our homeland. We must unite and resist the enemy together, and we must not let him take over the Ottoman Empire."
As the boss of this group of people, Miguo Guojun sat in seat C and spoke first.
The emperor of the Ottoman Empire lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. He had been bullied by the great powers before. If he was not annexed by China this time, he would eventually be annexed by these great powers.
"We must unite together and join forces to attack the Chinese army on Ottoman territory. Once the Chinese army takes over the western part of Central Continent, when the war reaches our homeland, we will all suffer heavy losses."
The king of Gaul followed.
"China's artillery shells and warships are more advanced than ours, and its territory is so large now. If China is allowed to develop for another 10 years, it will definitely crush us. We must let countries around the world join the "Anti-Stone Alliance" and jointly resist China.”
The monarch of the Bullfighting Kingdom spoke. He seemed to be avoiding the question of the Gaulish monarch. This is also human nature. Now he is sending an army to fight. What if he is destroyed and his neighbors attack him.
"Let's just say it's a matter of sending troops. We must form an "anti-Stone" army. We must bring down China's Shi Dakai."
The ruler of the Mi Kingdom spoke emphatically.
However, the monarchs here all know that China has beaten Mi Ziguo very badly in recent years. Mizi Country is China's biggest enemy. If it really goes to war with Huaxia, it will definitely not get any benefits, and it will be resented by Huaxia. , the Mao Xiong Kingdom was deeply impressed by the fact that a city was almost turned into a battle to defend the capital. The reason why he joined the "Anti-Stone Alliance" was because he wanted to be a wallflower, to have a good relationship with the Mi Zi Country, but not to offend secretly. China.
"I suggest that we each send 50,000 troops to form a 500,000-strong army to defend the Ottomans. The Gaul and Mi countries can send 100,000 troops."
The King of Gaul immediately agreed. If China hadn't beaten these two countries, their relationship would never have been so good. These two families had been at war for hundreds of years.
"I agree!"
The king of the Bullfighting Kingdom still resented China for taking away his territory in the southeastern part of Central Continent.
The other wallflowers all nodded.
This brings us to a problem, which is whose army is in front and whose army is behind. Those who are in front will obviously suffer more.
Their final location was Bagh City, South Gate.
Except for the Mizi Kingdom and the Gallic Kingdom, which were more active, the armies of other countries focused on marching slowly.
Blue Star In September 1868, the 30th Army and the 31st Army divided into two groups, attacking Kuwai City (the territory of the Ottoman Empire) and Leicheng (the territory of the Arab Empire).
The Arab Empire was almost all desert. The Ottoman Empire thought it was too barren, so it never occupied it. Compared with the Chinese soldiers, the soldiers here were far behind.
Arab soldiers mainly used scimitars, spears, and a small number of old-style muskets.
The Chinese field artillery blasted the city a few times, and Li City was liberated. This area has a very small population and is currently of almost no value. The advantage is that it can build a line of defense for Kuwai City in the northeast.
Kuwait City is the direction of this main attack.
Blue Star On September 20, 1868, the 31st Army arrived at the outskirts of Kuwait City.
The monarchs of the Ottoman Empire have carried out a series of reforms in recent years to save this declining empire, but the results have been minimal. The army here also has a certain degree of combat effectiveness, and there are still sufficient muskets and cannons. After all, they have been fighting with European countries for so many years. .
The Chinese field artillery has been lined up and aimed at the city wall. The commander on the wall has a serious face. After all, this is their first time to compete with China. I heard that Western countries will come to support this time. I can hold on for 10 days. Yes, the problem is not big, and the number of Chinese troops is only less than twice that of the defenders.
Nie Shicheng personally went to the front line to command. This battle cannot be taken carelessly. The Ottoman Empire can be said to be the current overlord of western Central Asia.
Nie Shicheng looked at the fortifications on the city wall. They were relatively complete and full of cannon holes. Fortunately, the power and range of Chinese field artillery overwhelmed cannons produced by other countries.
Obviously, the defense of the south gate is significantly weaker, and other gates may also face attacks from sea warships, so they are stronger than the south gate.
When it was established, they might not have imagined that an army would be able to reach Kuwait City so soon.
"Signal Corps, notify the 30th Army and the 31st Army to concentrate artillery fire on the south gate!"
When Nie Shicheng issued the order to attack, the Chinese field artillery released shocking artillery fire.
The shells hit the west wall of Kuwait City. Sure enough, the defenses here were quickly shattered, and the sound of explosions and smoke filled the sky over the city.
The Ottoman defenders rose up to resist. They fought back with artillery and rifles, trying to contain the Chinese army's attack. However, they found that their artillery could not hit the Chinese camp and could only be beaten passively.
"Everyone, leave the city wall immediately and find bunkers in the city to hide from the shells."
As soon as the Ottoman commander gave the order, all the soldiers immediately withdrew from the city wall.
"Report to the commander that the enemy troops are beginning to leave the city wall."
"Order, aim at the city gate, blow it open and the soldiers begin to charge. We must capture Kuwait City as soon as possible."
Nie Shicheng looked at the battlefield in the distance and issued instructions.
With advanced rifles and machine guns, and taking advantage of the numerical advantage, it is not difficult to win this battle.
The streets instantly turned into battlefields, with Chinese soldiers and Ottoman troops engaged in fierce street fighting.
Explosions and gunfire echoed through the narrow alleyways as soldiers fought for every inch of ground with grenades and rifles.
As time passed and the gunshots came closer to the city center, the Ottoman troops began to retreat, leaving behind destroyed buildings.
In order to consolidate the city of Kuwait in the next step, the 30th Army and the 31st Army continued to go north to pursue the enemy. There were various small towns along the way, and there were not many defenders.
When the Chinese army pursued them to a location two hundred kilometers away from Bagh City, a magical scene happened.
The Ottoman garrison had crossed the Euphrates River, and on the other side of the river, hundreds of thousands of troops from various Western European countries appeared.
Oh my god, reinforcements are here.
Across the river about 150 meters apart, the two armies faced each other. The enemy's number was more than three times that of ours.
However, no one dared to shoot at this time. The soldiers on both sides raised their guns and aimed at the enemy on the opposite side.
Nie Shicheng was shocked when he heard the news from the communications corps. It seemed that Western countries had joined forces.
In this case, the enemy will be outnumbered and unable to fight, but it is not good to retreat directly, which seems more timid.
The generals in the West did not dare to shoot. No one wanted to fight head-on. They just wanted China to retreat and stop fighting north. It would be embarrassing if their hundreds of thousands of troops turned around.
So, the general's representative went to the shore and started shouting.
"Brothers across the way, our army has as many as 500,000 troops. As long as you return, we will return the same way. It's great that everyone is in peace!"
"Okay, then you go back first. When you retreat, we will retreat."
"You guys retreat first!"
…
It was obvious that there was no agreement.
As a result, the stalemate lasted from afternoon to evening. The soldiers in the front row were so numb when raising their guns that they were replaced by those in the back row, taking turns. No one wanted to lose face.
The Western generals didn't want to stay up all night, so they sent troops to spread the word.
"Brothers on the opposite side, can you do this? Let's wave the flag together on the shore. After three waves, we will retreat at the same time."
Western soldiers shouted to the other side.
Nie Shicheng had just finished yawning.
"Can!"
The Chinese soldiers shouted!
The next day, the news in Xizhou was full of reports: Our army scared off millions of Chinese troops and protected the peace of Xizhou.
