Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1036, successive blows

In the Sea of ​​Marmara south of Istanbul, the arrival of the Ming and Spanish fleets made everyone in the city panic. Although everyone knew that they would arrive in the next few days and made relevant preparations, war always It fills people with fear.

"Dong dong!"

Along with the billowing white smoke rising from the warships, the Miyun cannons let out a deafening roar, and the shells formed a dense rain of bullets roaring in the sky, and then fell heavily on the streets of Istanbul. in the alley.

Immediately, the sound of houses collapsing was accompanied by billowing dust. The streets and alleys were full of people fleeing in panic. They screamed and filled the sky, watching the heavy bombardment in the sky, turning into a mess.

"Fire~fire!"

The Ottoman Empire's already arranged artillery fire counterattacked symbolically, but the range was too short to reach Ming's warships at all, and they were quickly taken care of, and the fire was completely stopped in the blink of an eye.

"Whoo~"

Cannonballs roared and fell heavily on the famous and magnificent buildings in Istanbul, temples, palaces, churches, etc. All the tall buildings that could be seen were taken care of.

After just a few waves of attacks, these buildings became riddled with holes and ruins. Standing tall buildings fell heavily, and the exquisite art was ruthlessly shone.

"Haha~ Fire! Fire!"

Korster seemed very happy and excited, and kept giving instructions to his subordinates.

The conflict between the Ottoman Empire and Spain has a long history.

Once Spain was conquered and ruled by the Arab Empire. After the Arab Empire fell apart, the Spaniards gradually regained their independence after centuries of resistance wars.

Because of many reasons such as religion, belief, race, etc., the conflict between the Spaniards and the Ottoman Empire was very deep. The Ottoman Empire not only supported the separatist forces in Spain, but also the pirates of the Ottoman Empire often robbed Spanish ships and the Mediterranean Sea. coastal areas.

The Spanish side rejected and expelled the Jews, while the Ottoman Empire accepted the Jews, which meant that it was against Spain.

So for the Ottoman Empire, the Spaniards do not have the slightest favor.

Now that they finally have the opportunity to settle accounts, the Spaniard will naturally not let this opportunity pass.

After the Ming Fleet destroyed Istanbul's shore defense artillery, Korster directly ordered the Spanish ships to sail into the harbor and continuously bombarded the ancient city at close range.

Seeing the houses falling under the artillery fire, the Spaniards seemed very excited, cheering and shouting constantly, and then continued to bombard.

"It's a pity that there is no explosive bomb. If there is an explosive bomb, it will be no problem to raze the city to the ground."

"Although solid bullets look bluffing, their power is still limited."

Tian Erniu was also looking at everything in front of him, and said with a little regret.

The Ottoman Empire is unwilling to sign a peace agreement. Naturally, it is necessary to let them have a taste of the power of Ming Dynasty. The warships will sail directly to your door and bombard your capital. It depends on how long your Ottoman Empire can last.

"Our purpose is to get the Ottoman Empire to sign an alliance under the city. Bombarding here is just a means, not an end."

Jiang Liang smiled and said, he looks like a qualified diplomat now.

"No, no~"

"You are a qualified diplomatic envoy, but you feel that you are not a qualified soldier, and you lack a little long-term vision."

"If you want someone to remember you firmly, it's definitely not giving him favors, because people are forgetful, especially for their benefactors."

"If you want people to remember you firmly, then you have to slap him hard, so that you will always be remembered."

"It's the same when it comes to the country. If you want the Ottomans to remember us, Ming, you must give them a hard lesson. Otherwise, why do you think the Duke of Australia and the Marquis of Hezhong wanted to kill them all the way?"

Tian Erniu smiled and shook his head and said.

"Perhaps, you are right~"

Jiang Liang pondered for a while, then nodded after thinking about it.

……

On an open grassland on the Iranian plateau, two armies are fighting desperately. The Persian army wearing a red hat is extremely brave, but under the attack of the Ottoman army, there is a faint tendency to collapse.

At this time, Huo Ying, who had been waiting impatiently, led fifty thousand cavalry to kill from the two wings of the Red Hat Legion. The rolling torrent of steel was like a flood breaking a bank, like a tiger descending a mountain, like an extremely sharp knife , Inserted fiercely into the heart of the Ottoman army.

"kill!"

Huo Ying kept waving the saber in his hand, and wherever he passed, figures kept falling off his horse.

Behind him, a group of great Ming soldiers, wearing fine iron armor and holding sabers, are like cold killing machines without emotion. Wherever they pass, the Ottoman army is easily torn apart like paper.

"Da Ming cavalry!"

The Ottomans widened their eyes, terrified, looking at the fluttering Minglong flag, and the iron cavalry rolling in, their snow-white sabers piercing the eyes under the sunlight.

"It's from Daming, it's from Daming!"

"Kill, kill!"

The Red Hat Persian Legion, which was about to collapse, was overjoyed and screamed, and then quickly launched a counterattack.

With the joining of the Ming army cavalry, the Ottoman army quickly collapsed completely. Under the division of the cavalry, it quickly became a piece of surrounded small pieces, and was quickly nibbled away by the Ming army and the Persian army. clean.

……

On the Asia Minor peninsula, in the marching tent of the Ottoman Sultan, the Ottoman Sultan is arranging various battles.

As the dispatched armies arrived at their respective battlefields, the situation began to stabilize. The European knights had been firmly blocked in Thrace. If this place fell, the European knights could go straight to the city of Istanbul and recover their king. Constantinople.

In the Battle of Baghdad, [-] Persian troops were killed, and by the way, they entered the Persian plateau, which greatly shocked the tribal chiefs and leaders who were about to move around in the Middle East. Many people offered their beauties and wealth to pray for their forgiveness.

The Tatars of the Crimean Khanate have also stopped attacking, and it seems that they don't want to compete with their Sipahi cavalry.

"The great Ottoman Empire cannot be bullied by everyone!"

Bayezid II looked at the territory of the Ottoman Empire and couldn't help showing a smile. The Ottoman Empire was still very powerful. If he hadn't met the Ming people, he would have nothing to worry about. These neighbors in the Quartet were nothing but The target of the Ottoman Empire's aggression.

"Report~"

At this time, someone came in a hurry.

"The Ming and Spanish fleets have arrived in the Sea of ​​Marmara and are bombarding Istanbul!"

Hearing the news, Bayezid II couldn't help frowning immediately. Although he had already estimated their speed, he was still not calm when he heard the news.

Perhaps the bombardment by the Ming and Spaniards couldn't do much damage to the Ottoman Empire. At best, it would level Istanbul. As long as people stay far away, nothing will happen.

But Istanbul is the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and even the capital was bombarded. This is tantamount to a heavy blow to the Ottoman Empire, and to the enemies from all directions, this meaningless is a stimulant, and it will inevitably be beaten. Blood generally intensifies the attack on the Ottoman Empire.

Especially the European knights, they must be greatly encouraged, and wish they could immediately march into Constantinople, recapture this long-historical minister, and restore their rule of the Christian world.

"Ming people!"

Bayezid II gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't beat him again and again, but he was crushed by the Ming army. The [-] Ming army in Erzincan City had been eyeing them all the time, and could kill them at any time. come over.

"Report~"

However, another bad news came soon.

"Great sultan, the Bursa Army was attacked by the Persian army and the Ming cavalry on the Persian plateau, and was defeated. Few of the [-] troops fled back."

"The Persians continued to march toward Baghdad, intending to recapture Baghdad."

The visitor hastily told about the fiasco on the Persian plateau.

After listening, Bayezid II and many ministers and nobles present fell silent.

Not long ago, I received news that the Bursa Legion was marching triumphantly, attacking the city, invincible, and invincible, but it was completely wiped out in a blink of an eye.

Undoubtedly, this must be because of the joining of the Ming cavalry, if only relying on the Persians, it would be impossible to do it.

Bayezid II fell silent immediately, looking at the huge map, and fell into deep thought.

"Great Sultan, what shall we do?"

The minister under him looked at Bayezid II for a long time, and then asked tremblingly.

"Send an order to Grand Vizier to agree to Daming's conditions and sign an armistice agreement."

Bayezid II slowly came back to his senses, and fixed his gaze on the South Caucasus region. This is a piece of fertile land, and it is also a piece of land that the sultans of the past have worked so hard to conquer. Hand over to the Ming people.

There are ten thousand things he is unwilling to do, and one thousand things are not reconciled to, but he knows that he must agree, otherwise the Ottoman Empire may really be over.

Under successive blows, the Ottoman Empire was almost unable to bear it.

"Sooner or later, my descendants will get back everything that belongs to us, a thousand times, ten thousand times from you!"
