June 6, 1684 AD.
On the Danube River, outside Vienna.
The artillery and rocket launchers slowly shook their heads and pointed their muzzles at the Vienna Castle in the distance. The gunners were all in place, and the ammunition handlers were either carrying explosive shells with artillery tail fins installed, nervously waiting for the order to load and fire. Or fill the barrel of a six-unit rocket launcher one by one!
On a huge arc-shaped semicircular position built along the north, west and south sides of the city of Vienna, three siege artillery groups were ready, waiting for the flying Majesty the Sultan who had just arrived at the front line to issue the general attack on the city of Vienna. Ordered.
Unlike the armies of Western Catholic and Christian countries that like to use light field artillery, the Ottoman Empire still retains the habit of using heavy artillery. Because they like to use heavy artillery, the Ottoman Empire does not have many artillery in its army. The 250,000-strong army attacking Vienna this time had less than 170 artillery pieces of various types, including about 150 large-caliber siege artillery pieces and 18 imitation rocket launchers. In the Vienna Castle they besieged, although there were less than 20,000 defenders, there were once more than 300 artillery pieces of all kinds, almost twice as many as the Sudanese army.
Because the city of Vienna is close to the Danube River on one side, the enemy can only launch a strong attack from the north, west, and south. The defenders can concentrate hundreds of artillery pieces in every direction!
Such strong firepower coupled with the tall and solid walls of Vienna made it a fortress that was difficult to conquer. Historically, it was indeed a huge mistake for the Ottoman army to rely on their numerical superiority to forcefully break through Vienna.
The Ottoman Empire's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Vienna in 1683 also caused it to lose its last chance to cause serious damage to the real core foundation of modern European civilization-the home base of the Franks and Anglo-Saxons.
Don't look at the fact that the Ottoman Empire has caused great harm to the Romans, Greeks and Slavs in the past few hundred years, destroying the brilliant civilization of the Eastern Romans, leaving the Greek civilization half-dead, and also destroying the Slavs on the Balkan Peninsula. The people and the Slavs in the southern part of the Rakshasa Steppe suffered greatly. . But as long as they do not threaten the basic base of the Franks and Anglo-Saxons, they will not pose a real blow to the modern civilization of Europeans. The Franks and Anglo-Saxons living in Western Europe did not have to pay attention to the sufferings of the Slavs, Romans, and Greeks in Eastern Europe. They just took advantage of the sea breeze of the great geographical discovery to engage in zero-dollar purchases and grab colonies all over the world for the benefit of the world. their descendants.
However, once the Ottoman Empire captured Vienna and turned the Germanic subjects of His Majesty the Divine Emperor in the minds of Western Europeans into slaves of the Caliphate, bullying them wantonly, the Anglo-Saxons on the islands might still be able to sit still, but on the Western European continent The Franks are sure to jump.
Since ancient times, only the Franks have been able to buy other people's goods for zero dollars. How can there be a Frank who has been rushed to his hometown to buy for zero dollars? If we don't get the situation back, wouldn't the Franks' golden brand in the zero-yuan shopping market be ruined?
This is just like the Franks and Anglo-Saxons in later generations who sanctioned others all over the world. Anyone who dares to punish them severely and even hurt them will be punished until death!
Therefore, the Ottoman Empire's victory over Vienna was only a temporary pleasure, and it would be followed by a crazy counterattack by the Franks.
Once the Franks and the Ottomans fought to death, they would have no spare time to take care of the New World. Although the largest colony in the New World belonged to Spain, Spain was actually ruled by a group of Franks. This country was actually conquered by a group of Western European knights with the help of Spanish feudal lords. Later, the Habsburg family took over Spain through marriage and luck. Therefore, in the upper class of Spain, the proportion of Franks is quite high.
If the Franks have no spare time to take care of the New World, then Zhu Heji's American "Little Ming Kingdom" and the American Great Khanate will be opened...
However, Sultan Muhammad IV himself, who strode into a shelter built with earth and wood at this time, did not know that he had been used as a gunman to poke a hornet's nest. But even if he knew, this hornet's nest would still have to be poked.
If you don’t poke it, the decline of the empire is inevitable!
Poke... maybe there will be a turning point!
Didn’t the Ming Empire in the East send hundreds of thousands of kilograms of military sugar to the Ottoman Empire? It also gave samples of rocket launchers and rockets, and sent military advisers?
This shelter was built by Ming army officers brought by Huang Zhisheng under the guidance of the Ottoman Empire's Sudanese Guards - the Sudanese Guards' construction capabilities are quite good, their marksmanship is also very good, and they can even use matchlock guns to fight flint. Fire the gun! In addition, the Sudanese Guards are also good at throwing bombs. With the blessing of sweet gunpowder, the power of the Guards' grenades is greatly increased.
Many of the Sultan's important ministers and generals were already waiting inside the shelter, including Grand Vizierkara Mustafa and Khan Murad Glei of the Crimean Khanate.
Before the Sultan arrived, they had commanded the Ottoman Empire's 250,000 troops to besiege the city of Vienna for more than 20 days!
And they also achieved great success, otherwise the Sultan would not have stopped hunting near Belgrade and ran down to the city of Vienna to pick the fruits of victory.
As long as you use a telescope to look at the city wall of Vienna in the distance, which is riddled with cannonballs, you will know that the capital of the Holy Roman Empire cannot be defended!
The destructive power of sugar gunpowder is by no means comparable to that of black gunpowder. It can not only be used to fill explosive bombs, but also can be used to blast city walls - Kara Mustafa using heavy artillery, rocket launchers, and observers on hot air balloons Under the command, while accurately bombarding the city wall and targets inside the city, they also sent death squads to touch the roots of the city wall and repeatedly blasted the city wall with sugar bombs with charged charges personally assembled by the Ming Dynasty's military advisers.
Moreover, although the city wall of Vienna is strong, it is not a bastion with a particularly large area. Once the root of the city wall is blasted with a relatively large gap, it will easily collapse.
The Sultan raised a telescope and observed the west wall of Vienna. He found that huge gaps had been opened one after another in the long city wall. Outside each gap, there was a slope formed by the collapsed city bricks, which were also blocked with horse-repelling guns. There are piles of corpses up and down the slope. Looking at the clothes these corpses are wearing, you can find that both warring parties have lost about the same number of lives in these gaps. Maybe there were more dead people on the Ottoman side, but their military strength was almost ten times that of the other side.
They won't lose money in a one-to-one exchange!
The city of Vienna has also suffered a lot of cannonballs and rockets in recent days. Near the west, south and north city walls, there are buildings everywhere that have been blown into ruins...
In the past seven or eight days, the Ottoman troops attacking the city have broken into the city of Vienna through those gaps many times! Although they were driven out by the Vienna defenders every time, they also consumed the strength of the Vienna defenders.
Since the day before yesterday, desperate defenders have been crawling out of the gaps and surrendering to the Ottoman army. According to the intelligence they provided, the garrison in Vienna is now on the verge of collapse.
On the one hand, the firepower of the Ottoman army was beyond their expectations. They were unable to lift their heads and suffered heavy losses!
On the other hand, several green balloons floating in the sky also caused great psychological pressure on the defenders and citizens in the city... The Sudan can fly! And no one on the Catholic side can fly!
What does this mean? Is Tianfang Sect right?
"Your Majesty," the Grand Vizier approached the Sultan with a smile on his old face, "Please give the order! You will soon become the conqueror of Vienna... The whole of Central Europe will be conquered by the Sultan. Your feet are shaking!"
Muhammad IV also looked proud, nodded and said: "Okay! Let's get started!
Is the hot air balloon ready? I want to go to heaven in person...I want to pray for the soldiers in heaven, where we are closer to the true God, and the effect of prayer will be better! "
