Two days after yelishei and others returned to akman, at the beginning, the army led by LAN gley Khan finally arrived at the foot of akman''s city. At the first sight of Ackerman''s city defense, the Khan, his Pasha, bey and ah''er were stunned by Ackerman''s city defense.
At this time, the city of Ackerman had been driven by Christina to transform the residents of Ackerman beyond recognition. The northern wall section of Ackerman facing the land has built many projections forming an included angle, which is a typical configuration of Western bastions; The original low wall of Ackerman has also been thickened and built with inclined walls, which can effectively resist shelling; The dense shooting holes on the city wall and the reasonable urban defense gun platform multiply its defense.
Although at the beginning LAN gley did not study western military science and architecture, at the beginning LAN gley instinctively felt that Ackerman city was a hard bone.
Thinking of the western style cavalry and the spring wheel musket uzzenbey encountered, at the beginning, LAN gley had determined that there must be a western power secretly supporting his brother to regain the Khan position.
At the beginning, LAN gley called a Polish named kolboski. He was once an officer of the Republic of Poland in Ukraine and was abducted by the Tatars during the hmelinitsky uprising. At the beginning, LAN gley bought him, made him convert to * * * religion and became his own consultant.
"Kolpotsky, take a closer look at the city of Ackerman. Can you see which country''s architectural method this is? The Republic of Poland or czar Russia?"
Dressed in the traditional clothes of Crimean Tatars, kolpotsky looked carefully. He turned and crawled on the ground and said to Yishi LAN gley, "master, this is not the architectural technique of the Republic of Poland and Czarist Russia, but a bit like the architectural style of the Swedes."
"Swedes?"
At the beginning, LAN gley never thought it was such an answer. He also couldn''t understand how Carl x, the smart and capable kingdom of Sweden, would support his failed brother.
"Has the northern European lion solved the problem of killing the poles and drinking the Russians and began to covet the Crimean Peninsula?" Lan gley speculated at the beginning.
Soon, at the beginning, LAN gley shook his head. He stopped worrying about this problem, but explored several other walls of Ackerman.
It''s still important to deal with the matter at hand.
The East and south of akman city are close to the sea, and the space for expansion is extremely narrow, which is not suitable for the large forces of the Khanate. Although the walls in the West have also been reconstructed in a bastion style, they have more dead corners than those in the north, and the terrain in the west is more open than those in the East and south, which is suitable for LAN gley to give full play to his military advantages at the beginning.
"We''ll attack Ackerman from here," Lan gley said to the officers around him.
Khan''s officers were about to nod when a loud noise came from the head of Ackerman. Then a shell landed in front of Elaine gley''s Mount, stirring up a piece of soil.
The Khan''s horse was frightened and raised its front hoof. Finally, at the beginning, LAN gley calmed the frightened horse.
Although this shot did not kill anyone, it frightened everyone, including LAN gley, at the beginning. They were totally unaware that there were artillery in Ackerman and that there were technicians who could operate artillery. At the beginning, LAN gley quickly withdrew outside the range of the artillery under the escort of officers.
In the west of Ackerman, Muhammad gley looked at his fleeing brother and said to Christina and Carlson, who operated artillery, "what a pity."
"There''s no way, Khan. We only have such antiques. It''s good that Carlson can shoot near the enemy." Christina patted the "antiques" on the back and said to Muhammad gley.
And Carlson, squatting in front of a Fran machine gun called an antique by Christina, took a sub gun out of the mother gun.
The Fran machine gun is an early post filled smooth bore cannon. It consists of a mother gun and a son gun. The main gun barrel is slender and has a small caliber. The gun barrel is equipped with a collimation and a light gate, which can aim and shoot long-range targets. There are gun ears on both sides of the gun body, which can place the gun on the support and pitch to adjust the firing angle. The rear part of the gun body of the Fran machine gun is thick, with long holes and slots to fill the sub gun. Each mother gun is equipped with multiple sub guns, which can be loaded with ammunition in advance for standby. During combat, it can be loaded into the mother gun in turn for firing, so the firing speed can be improved. But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The Fran machine gun not only improves the firing speed, but also has less power and range than the forebore long tube cannon due to the problems of air tightness. In western countries, Fran machine gun has long been rarely used. Bayezid Khan bought these Fran machine guns from Portuguese merchant ships at a high price.
"If that shot killed my damn brother just now, I can immediately gather the troops he brought." Muhammad gley was still regretting.
At this time, neither Christina nor Carlson spoke, and Muhammad gley kept delusional there.
Frightened by an artillery attack and aware of the enemy''s artillery, LAN gley dared not attack the city rashly at the beginning, but drove his subordinates to dig a zigzag trench slowly. It was clear that at the beginning, LAN gley was instructed by Westerners or Arabs employed by him.
Many people are easy to do things. Tens of thousands of Crimean tribal cavalry and slave soldiers dug trenches under Ackerman''s city in only one day. During this period, Ackerman''s defenders did not go out of the city to attack, but continued to strengthen Ackerman''s urban defense.
The next day, at the beginning, LAN gley gathered all the troops outside the city. The troops of 60000 Khanate were arranged into more than ten huge square arrays and swaggered under the city of akman. Countless praises of Juan Keba resounded through the earth.
At the beginning, LAN gley wore a tartar helmet with silver inlay and a long metal plate chain armor. The composite armor on the front of the plate chain armor was engraved with the scriptures of the Koran by means of gold inlay.
Crimean Khan guards are lined around Khan. Khan guards are made up of the strongest and warlike soldiers in the Khanate. After LAN gley usurped the Khan position, LAN gley immediately cleaned the guards loyal to Muhammad gley and added his own people.
At the beginning, LAN gley hoped to destroy the courage of the Ackerman Garrison and force the garrison to surrender by showing force. However, Ackerman''s garrison remained unmoved and sent a 300 man force out of the city to respond to the challenge.
