Chapter 1195 Unexpected harvest (third update, please subscribe)
Three airships!

No, it's three torches!
Three huge torches with a length of tens of meters fell from the sky like this.

The Russians on the ground were all dumbfounded. They didn't even think that everything was so fast. They didn't even realize what happened, and the three airships were ignited.

Become a torch!
Faced with this reality, no one thought of taking up weapons and shooting into the air-they—or rather—those were these Europeans, and it was the first time they encountered such a situation.

Li Zhigui, who easily completed the attack mission, stared at the three flaming airships, and couldn't help admiring.

"It's really spectacular!"

However, when the airship turned into a torch and fell, the Russians on the ground were frightened. The airship used a lot of rubber and silk, which are excellent fuels. When they burned and fell, the Russians on the ground The artillerymen all fled towards the surroundings as if fleeing one after another—because the airship was performing artillery reconnaissance missions before, it hovered over the artillery positions. Below them, there were not only cannons, but also ammunition piled up with ammunition. heap.

One of the fallen airships just burned and landed on the ammunition pile.

"Old man's artillery is dumb..."

The cheers of the soldiers in Suihuabao had not yet ended, and they witnessed a scene that was more shocking than the previous shooting down of the three airships—suddenly, a huge black smoke column rose from the rear of the Russian army, and the black smoke column When it rose to mid-air, it continuously expanded to the surroundings, and in the black smoke column mixed with dust and smoke, red flames rolled.

The next moment, there was a violent explosion sound. When the explosion sound came, the huge cloud of smoke and flames rolled bigger and bigger. At the same time, new fireworks and smoke clouds rose like thunder on the ground. The continuous explosion sounded like thunder from a distance...

"My goodness!"

Meng Guoren was stunned by the scene in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes at all, this...what's going on?

"The fallen airship must have landed on the ammunition pile!"

This must be the case. When the airship fell, it was a mass of fire. If it fell on the ammunition pile, it would definitely detonate the shells in the ammunition pile. Only in this way could it cause such a violent explosion.

The black plume of smoke hundreds of meters high and the violent explosion shocked everyone, let alone the people in the fortress, even Li Zhigui on the airship was dumbfounded.

"This, this is a coincidence..."

Li Zhigui said to himself.

This is definitely a coincidence. After the ammunition stack shells were detonated, the blown shells scattered in the air, and then fell to the surroundings. The shells turned into bombs that fell from the sky, directly blowing the nearby cannons into the sky, even Some shells fell into another ammunition pile at the rear, directly causing a more violent explosion.

But in the blink of an eye, the artillery positions of the Russian army fell into a sea of ​​flames...

And Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatiev turned into a fool, he even blinked several times in succession, he couldn't believe the scene before him at all.

How could this be?
After being stunned for a moment, Ignatiev wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said to himself.

"It's over, we're all over..."

Yes!

He is done!
He could imagine that when Constantinople knew that he had suffered such a heavy loss, he would definitely be sent to a military court. Even if he survived by chance, all his glory would be wiped out.

"God, how could this be!"

Ignatiev prayed in pain, but God certainly didn't hear his prayers, because the continuous explosions and the artillery positions in the sea of ​​fire reminded him that his artillery was over!

How can you attack a city without cannons?

Even, what is waiting for them is very likely to be failure, the airship is coming, will their reinforcements be far from here?
Soon, the sound of explosions stopped. Looking at the devastated artillery positions and the cannons that were blown up and down, all the Russian generals were dumbfounded. They never dreamed that the battle would be like this.

"General, we have lost almost all our heavy artillery!"

And the ammunition...

"General, what should we do now?"

Facing the question from his subordinates, Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatiev was silent for a moment, then said.

"Retreat! Before Shi Dakai's reinforcements arrive..."

It has to be said that Ignatiev, as a military general, is extremely competent. He did not stubbornly fight to the end. After losing most of the ammunition and artillery, he decisively chose to retreat, which also allowed him to successfully preserve At the same time, the troops led by Shi Dakai were only one day away from him.

What awaits Ignatiev?
It is no longer important, but what is certain is that when word of Suihuabao's defeat reached Constantinople, it immediately caused a sensation in the Roman Empire.

For the Russians who defeated the Turks and fulfilled their dream of revival of the Roman Empire, this news was simply a thunderbolt!
It was a loud slap at all, not to mention the slap on the face, what's more, for the Roman Empire, they needed to make a choice-peace or war.

……

"No matter what choice they make, there will be a rift in the relationship with the Ming Empire!"

At the British embassy in Constantinople, Thomas, flute in hand, pours Hank a glass of champagne.

"Hank, the moment we are looking forward to has arrived, just as Prime Minister Bismarck said - the alliance of four emperors is bound to be divided because of interests, interests!"

After taking a sip of champagne and feeling the scent of champagne, Thomas turned to the Bosporus Strait outside the window, watching the seagulls flying in the strait and the warships of the Roman Empire slowly sailing through the strait. The Royal Navy Lieutenant Colonel The corners of his lips fluttered slightly.

"Interests always come first. Now that their interests have diverged, the disintegration of the imperial alliance is doomed!"

"But France..."

Hank, holding a champagne glass, spoke in English with a German accent.

"The French have already intervened, and the Roman Foreign Minister is also a supporter of the "Alliance of Four Emperors". melted."

After a pause, Major Hank took a sip of champagne, and then said.

"Perhaps, in the end, everything will end quietly like this. You only need to find one or two scapegoats."
