Chapter 798: The Battle of Annihilating the City


The reason why the Turkish Sultan is so tough is that he now has a powerful ally behind him.The Turkish ambassador to New China sends the latest news back to Turkey almost every week.Either New China has researched this, or New China has researched that, and the Turkish Sultan is completely dumbfounded.He didn't dare to imagine how powerful New China really was, and these things had not even been invented in Europe.Before Russia sent troops to the Crimean Peninsula, they were preparing to launch an attack on Russia, stationing more than 500,000 troops on the border.And most importantly, since they established diplomatic relations with New China, the first big gift from New China was 100,000 breech rifles.The Turkish Sultan was so excited that he was about to go crazy, and it felt like pie in the sky.He had just assembled these weapons for his elite troops, but he hadn't had a chance to use them yet.I didn't expect it to be sent to the door so soon.Fifteen years after the war on the Crimean Peninsula was extinguished, the last Crimean War triggered Britain, France, Austria, and others to declare war on Russia.The war lasted three years, from 1853 to 1856.After the war, the tsar's control over Russia weakened, and serfdom reforms had to be carried out to alleviate domestic tensions.Moreover, Russia's strength was greatly reduced, which directly led to the later restoration of Poland.This war is a continuation of the last one, and there has been friction between the two sides on the border, and Russia has long wanted to find an opportunity to retake the Crimean peninsula.With the rise of the Huaxing Army, the current world has shared the hostility of Europe against Russia on the side, and has turned to support Russia against the Huaxing Army.Therefore, the Tsar concluded from all the sources that the European countries would certainly not intervene as aggressively as they did last time.As he expected, as soon as the Crimean War began, the entire European continent shook.The Russian Foreign Ministry receives daily notes from ministers from Britain, France, and the newly emerging Germany, which have made it clear that they condemn this aggression.But condemnation is condemnation, and at this time, no country has publicly expressed its willingness to take the initiative to send troops against Russia.The Tsar's heart was almost excited, and he secretly admired himself for making a wise decision.But without rejoicing for a few days, an urgent military situation was soon received from the city of Moscow.When all eyes of Russia were focused on the Crimean battlefield, Xu Yao had already brought 100,000 iron cavalry to the city of Moscow.When you meet major cities along the way, you can hide and forgive, and if you can't bypass, you can directly annihilate the defenders, and then continue to march towards Moscow non-stop.By the time the Russian army reacted, the cavalry of the Huaxing Army had already broken through the outer defense line of Moscow and began to launch a fierce assault on the city.Because Russia is in the belly of Russia, the tsar did not deploy many troops here, but deployed all his troops in the border area.Now that they are concentrating their forces on the Crimean Peninsula with Turkey, Moscow's defenses are even more lax, allowing the Huaxing army to take advantage of the loopholes.Xu Yao carried light weapons this time, and in addition to guns and ammunition, the most carried were mortars and explosives bags.His main strategic purpose this time is to raze Moscow to rubble, create a false impression of Russia's collapse in neighboring countries, and incite them to take the initiative to attack Russia.This method of warfare can also be called "blitzkrieg", which is a combination of surprise attacks and quick attacks, which will hit the enemy like lightning and make the enemy lose morale under the sudden threat, so that the whole thing will collapse under the first huge blow, and the snake will be hit seven inches, and Moscow is where Russia's seven inches are.As the former capital of Russia, in a sense, its status is more important than the new capital St.

Petersburg, and it is the capital of the Russian heart.The capital is dead, and the rest of the world will naturally fall apart and fight for itself.Of course, at this time, it is necessary to cooperate with neighboring countries.Otherwise, they will soon mobilize their forces and fully support Moscow.As soon as Xu Yao arrived at the city of Moscow, he sent a large army to blow up the various strongholds outside Moscow to slag.Russia's weapons are backward, and although Britain supports breech-loading rifles, the artillery is considered to be old guns and artillery, and there is no way to aim at all.The Huaxing Army was almost equipped with 50,000 mortars this time, and all the mortars of the Northeast Military Region and the Mongolian Military Region were concentrated, using one for every two soldiers.Where could the Russian stronghold withstand so much mortar bombardment, and within two days, all the defensive fronts on the periphery would be overcome.Because of the urgency of time, fighting in the belly of Russia, the eyes are full of enemies, and there is no distinction between civilians and soldiers.When the Huaxing army attacked the city, it directly adopted the method of intensive bombardment, and all the buildings that could be seen were blown up.Fifty thousand mortars were fired at the same time, and it was like locusts attacking, and the sky was densely packed with black shells.The shells grew larger and larger until they landed on the building, and in an instant they rose into the sky.Russia, the century-old capital, collapsed like the end of the world in an instant.The old Maozi in the city wailed all over the field, screamed again and again, and rushed out of the smoke one after another.But the Huaxing army had already guarded the intersections, and after they rushed out, the gunfire was raging, and they were soon swept to the ground by bullets.After three days and three nights of bombardment, almost half a million mortar shells exploded in the city, and each mortar fired ten shells.The bombing encountered only a slight problem in Moscow's Klimt Palace, whose walls were 16 meters high, 2,235 meters long and 6 meters thick.There are also 18 towers on the wall, which are scattered on the triangular palace wall.Xu Yao first had people destroy the forts on the city wall, and then after annihilating all the soldiers guarding the city, a ten-kilogram yellow explosive bag was placed every twenty meters.This amount of yellow explosives is enough to blow up a house.After all the explosives packs were placed, the fuses were lit.The soldiers immediately retreated to safety, and everyone and Xu Yao watched excitedly at the destruction of this final target, and the visual stimulation was no less than the impact of a meteor hitting the earth."

Boom, boom, boom" Boom, boom, boom,I couldn't hear anything but the roar.The tall city walls and bell towers collapsed like tofu, leaving no intact place at all.Later, mortar shells bombarded the buildings in the palace, and the Tsar's hometown was completely reduced to ruins.The billowing smoke obscured the sky and completely enveloped Moscow.The fire caused by the explosion burned in the city for three days, and the fire continued to spread in the city until the Huaxing army withdrew.The battle lasted only a dozen days from start to finish, but by the time the Tsar received a report from Moscow, the city had disappeared from the map of Russia
