Chapter 339: Battle of the Inca Capital
"Your Majesty, fortunately we have mortars, otherwise it would be too difficult to capture a city like this."
Outside the city, Li Ji stood on the top of the city wall on horseback, looking at the city of Cusco from afar, his face solemn.
"Hahaha, General Li is right, but don't we have mortars with us?"
"Alright, order the army to rest and prepare for the attack tomorrow."
Ning Quan said with a smile.
"According to the order!"
........
The next morning, the sky was just getting light.
The Inca defenders were on high alert, waiting for the enemy to attack
However, the expected army charge did not come.
What awaited them was a barrage of whistling artillery shells.
An artillery unit consisting of five mortars and an armored vehicle launched an artillery bombardment towards Cusco.
Rumbling--
Dense artillery shells fell into the city of Cusco.
In an instant, screams resounded through the sky!
The defenders of Cusco were caught off guard and taken completely by surprise.
When the shells exploded, a large number of soldiers were knocked over, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Of course, the city walls were not spared and were the focus of attention.
This time, Ning Quan used the same method to attack the city as he did to capture the capital of Daqian.
Destroy the city walls, undermine morale, and then take Cusco in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the main target of the bombardment was still the city wall.
But the walls of Cusco are very thick, and it would take time to open a gap.
But Ning Quan was not in a hurry. He would be able to win sooner or later anyway, and he had plenty of time.
Dense artillery shells continued to fall, leaving corpses everywhere on the walls of Cusco and wailing sounds everywhere.
"Hide quickly, hide quickly!"
A soldier shouted in horror.
"Asshole, where can you hide?"
Another soldier cursed.
The soldier was right; there was no place for them to hide on the city wall.
The sky was filled with artillery shells, covering almost every inch of space where they were.
Unless they leave the city walls, but that is impossible.
Puff!
A shell fell and hit a group of soldiers hard.
Immediately, a violent collision wave erupted and swept across.
ah... ah... ah...
The screams continued.
In an instant, all the soldiers in the surrounding area were either killed or injured.
"Damn, this is Daqian's artillery?"
On the city wall, the Inca emperor's eyes were wide open and his face was full of shock.
Although he had anticipated the power of the Daqian firearms, he was still shocked when he actually saw it.
He couldn't believe his eyes.
How could Daqian have such a terrible weapon?
"Your Majesty, is this the Daqian firearm?"
On the side, O'Neill Gallant said solemnly.
"This artillery is terrible!"
"We must find a way to deal with the artillery and not let them wreak havoc."
Hearing this, the Inca emperor said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I am willing to lead the army out of the city and destroy the enemy artillery."
At this time, the commander of the Fourth Legion, Caraciano, asked for a fight.
"Yes, I'm sure."
"However, you must be careful. Daqian firearms are extremely powerful and should not be underestimated."
"Please remember this, general!"
Caraciano responded.
Then Caraciano turned and left the city wall.
A moment later, the city gate opened and thousands of soldiers rushed out and rushed towards the artillery position.
"Machine gunner, shoot!"
Ning Quan's face was cold as he gave the order without hesitation.
Ning Quan had long anticipated that the enemy might leave the city, so he made full preparations.
"Da da da!"
Upon hearing Ning Quan's order, the heavy machine guns that had been prepared long ago began to crazily fire at the rushing Inca army.
At the same time, another heavy machine gun on the armored vehicle also opened fire
bang bang bang~
Dense bullets poured down like raindrops, instantly taking the lives of the Inca army.
Although there were only two machine guns, a huge killing field was formed with blood flowing.
In just two minutes, most of the Inca soldiers who rushed out were killed or wounded.
"Assholes, retreat, retreat quickly!"
Seeing this, Caraciano gritted his teeth.
He left the city with full confidence, but he did not expect this result.
Daqian not only has artillery, but also other terrible weapons.
As soon as they left the city, they suffered a devastating blow and suffered heavy losses.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
“Why is it so powerful?”
The Inca emperor who was watching the battle on the city wall was horrified.
Such weapons are truly terrifying, far beyond imagination.
He has never seen it before!
"Your Majesty, this should also be Daqian's secret weapon!"
O'Neill Gallot said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the Daqian people are too insidious. I didn't encounter these weapons last time."
On the side, O'Neill Gallot said with a grim expression.
"Your Majesty, I have never encountered this before."
Thor echoed.
"What should we do? If this continues, the city walls will surely be lost and the capital will fall sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, the Inca emperor's brow was filled with worry.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that Daqian was too terrifying!
How could they possess so many terrible weapons?
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will defend Cusco to the death."
"The same goes for the final general."
Seeing this, O'Neill, Gallot and Thor expressed their opinions.
At this moment, they all realized the seriousness of the situation. If Cusco fell, it would be a disaster for them.
But although O'Neill, Gallant and others have ambitions, the reality is cruel.
They simply had no way to deal with it.
Unable to get out, he could only passively take the beating.
Ning Quan did not give them a chance to breathe and the bombardment continued.
The fight lasted for three hours before it stopped.
The smoke is everywhere and the blood is flowing!
The entire city of Cusco was in ruins.
The originally strong city became dilapidated, like a Shura slaughterhouse.
"Your Majesty, Daqian's artillery is too powerful. Otherwise, you should withdraw first and leave the defense of the city to us!"
O'Neill Gallot said anxiously.
"That's right, Your Majesty. You should retreat first, retreat to Campas City, and then gather more reinforcements to fight a decisive battle!"
Caraciano also advised.
"Retreat first?"
"But can we retreat? The enemy has surrounded us on all sides."
"And you've seen the power of the artillery. Once we leave the city, we'll become sitting ducks."
The Inca emperor decisively refused.
He also wanted to escape, but there was no way he could escape given the current situation.
Once you leave the city and are targeted by enemy artillery, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.
"Your Majesty, why don't we go negotiate with Daqian again?"
"Whatever Daqian's conditions are, we will just agree to them."
"As long as Daqian doesn't attack, what does it matter if we give up Cusco or even half of our territory?"
"At least we can save our lives and the Inca Empire!"
O'Neill Gallot suggested.
"That's impossible. Daqian won't negotiate with us, otherwise they would have agreed last time."
Upon hearing this, Fernando Barov immediately stood up and spoke.
"What should I do?"
O'Neill Gallot said with a sad face.
