The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1100: The joy and suffering of Siege 8

Today is September 8th. The sun is shining and it is a rare day. The Ottomans did not come to attack. They suffered heavy losses in the battle yesterday. The corpses were piled up in the city. Therefore, they agreed with the Chinese today that the two sides will not fight, and they will collect their own dead bodies.

Right now some unarmed people are busy in the city, lifting the bodies and putting them in the car, while the Southeast Army at the top of the city is on guard.

The corpses were densely packed, soaked in blood water, and died strangely, fully revealing the cruelty of war.

The officers and soldiers of the Southeast Army on the city wall sniffed the pungent blood, but their mood was joyful---it was not that everyone was abnormal, but the commander Li Laiheng praised the meritorious soldiers on the city wall!

The rewards given include the proposed medals, titles, military ranks, and honours. These things cannot be determined by Li Laiheng. The gifts are granted by the court's decision. It is Li Laiheng's contribution and preliminary suggestions that the court decides to give.

Generally, as long as it is not excessive, the court will not refute the general's request.

There is no need to worry about the generals giving or receiving things privately. The department in the army responsible for judging military merits belongs to political officers. Li Laiheng can command them, but he has no jurisdiction over personnel matters.

In the army, there are two types of officers in their own systems. One type is intelligence officers, who are under the dual leadership of the superior intelligence department and the head of the unit. The other type of political officers is the same, representing the court's control of the army.

Regarding intelligence officers and political officers, Li Laiheng cannot interfere too much, or even avoid suspicion.

The management of the Southeast Army is both centralized and decentralized. During the battle, the chief has the highest decision-making power, but things outside the battle are restricted. Leader Yan Changwu will never allow the army he built to fall into the hands of careerists.

There are also awards, bonuses, position promotion, and smaller material rewards that Li Laiheng can do. Therefore, everyone is very happy to hear about the future rewards and the rewards that are available now.

Basically everyone has a share, and the worst is also rewarded with a certificate. It is good to be able to fight in a besieged city.

With the battalion as the smallest combat unit, all representatives were sent to listen to the commander of the army reading aloud the commendation order:

"The commander of the 163rd regiment, Colonel Chen Jingan, in the battle on September 6, the enemy broke through the 103rd section of our army's wall. Colonel Chen commanded calmly, led the troops to countercharge and regained the wall, showing great fighting courage. And command ability, it is planned to be awarded the second-class melee assault medal and the third-class military merit..."

"Zhang Lei, deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 78th Regiment, commanded the battalion to inflict major damage to the enemy during the battle on September 7. He plans to grant a second-class military medal...

"Lieutenant Chen Yaxi of the 2nd Battalion of the 43rd Regiment, in the battle on September 5, commanded the platoon to kill a senior enemy officer, and planned to award a third-class military medal..."

...

The list of meritorious deeds is very long, and the soldiers are overjoyed, calculating their merits and how many meritorious fields they can exchange for!

Every time he makes a meritorious service, he converts it into a merit point. When accumulated, he can exchange it with the court. In the southeast, the land is owned by the leader. He distributes the land to the peasants. He is very generous to the soldiers, according to the merit points of the soldiers. , Free distribution of Xun Tian to the soldiers, others can not be envied.

A considerable part of the meritorious servicemen are Indian Sanguo soldiers!

"Xin Bo, commander of the Sikh battalion, has repeatedly directed the battalion to inflict fierce bombardment on the enemy. He has outstanding meritorious service and plans to award the first-class military medal!..."

Xin Bo was overjoyed. During this period of battle, he was struggling to fight on the front line. Their Sikhs were stronger, and they were armor-throwing troops. They dropped bombs at the enemy and blasted the enemy to the wall. He heard The sound of their explosions was frightening.

Unexpectedly, he was given a first-class military medal, even higher than that of a Chinese chief!

The Chinese are extremely fair, and they are rewarded based on merit regardless of who they are.

He is one of the Indians with the highest credit, and the other is the battalion commander Kunal of the Marathi camp. He is a great young man, not like an Indian, but like a Chinese. He is willing to use his brain in wars, inflict heavy losses on the enemy, and has outstanding merits. .

Promotion and wealth are now the main theme. Everyone clapped their hands desperately and felt that this time it was really worthwhile!

Relying on Jiancheng to gain credit, the key is that there are few dead in the war. So far, only 10,000 people have been killed and 30,000 wounded. Among them, more than 20,000 are slightly injured. After all, this is a defense of the city rather than a field battle. Need too much maneuver, the wounded can still come in handy.

Li Laiheng summed up: "...We have held the city of Cairo with great courage, like a copper wall and an iron wall. Although the enemy has exhausted his mind and dispatched a heavy army, we still defeated them. We have made a major battle for the country, and the court will definitely Rich rewards will be given. We must guard against arrogance and rashness, work hard to fight the battle in the future, and hold fast to Cairo City..."

The risks are small and the benefits are large. This is an important reason why men in the southeast countries like to fight.

In the past, good men did not serve as soldiers, but now the atmosphere has changed. The whole society is saying: "Take advantage of the founding prince now, a generation of British lord is alive, we must follow him, and leave a wealth of wealth to future generations!"

The senior officials thought about the rising sun and the moon, and put their seals on them.

The little people think about Xuntian, Xuntian!

So everyone worked hard, defending the city alone with great courage, and repelled the enemy's attack.

In addition to rewards, the whole army also had a dinner that day, and the live poultry still kept in the city were slaughtered, so that the soldiers who made meritorious service had a full meal!

The city is very lively, like a festival.

In the Ottoman barracks, inside the Chinese army tent, the commander Farhad Pasha sat in trouble, unable to do anything.

He tried his best to support the attack with firepower and then charge like a death squad, but the opponent's city still stood tall.

Since the battle, more than 100,000 people have died in the war. Farhad Pasha has also set a record in the history of the Ottoman army. With so many deaths, he feels like the sky is falling. .

There were not so many people killed in the battle, but the Chinese lead bombs, the rusty iron bullets and nails in the bombs, and the fire attack caused many Ottoman wounded soldiers to die tragically after a high fever and howling.

The medical treatment of the two warring parties is not on the same level. Most of the wounded soldiers of the Southeast Army can return to the team and continue to participate in the war, while the wounded Ottoman soldiers die.

A majestic man walked in without notice. The man was dressed luxuriously with frowning brows. It was Vizier Humamu Pasha sent by Istanbul to supervise the war. He came in and asked, "There is no other way. Conquered the new city of Cairo?"

"Unless we have as much firepower as we did before!" Farhad Pasha responded with a strong spirit.

"That's impossible!" Humamu Pasha shook his head and said, "In order to support your battle, Istanbul's gunpowder stocks have all been used up!"

"Give me the gunpowder of the navy!" Fahad Pasha suggested.

The navy and the army are at odds, and Farhad Pasha’s proposal is really a rush.

Humamu Pasha shook his head again, and he sullenly said: "Before I came, the commander-in-chief of the Navy Charari Pasha was ordered to retire!"

The news that Farhad Pasha hadn’t heard of ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ surprised him. Hearing Humamu Pasha said: "There are a lot of problems with the Navy, and the gunpowder inventory is not as good as it should be. One third of the inventory..."

Farhad Pasha was speechless. He knew that Istanbul was fully appropriating gunpowder for the navy, and he did not dare to take it lightly. The stock of gunpowder still did not reach one-third of the due stock. Someone must take it. The gunpowder from the Navy went out to sell, maybe it was sold to Hong Mao Fan!

Sell ​​your own gunpowder to your enemies!

Reselling military assets, this kind of thing, he also did Farhad Pasha, not as outrageous as the navy guys!

He sighed, "Then, continue to attack!"

Continue the offensive, chanting religious slogans to attack without the cover of firepower, hope that the spirit will defeat the material, and must attack. Maybe the defenders in the city ran out of gunpowder, then the Ottomans will see the dawn of victory!

It's just that he didn't expect that the offense would be a catastrophe, and an even greater disaster would come!
