Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1893, Precision Strike

The night in the Aegean Sea is very quiet, the bright moonlight shines on the sea, and the ship full of stars and dreams is nothing more than that.

Five steam warships and a dozen small warships sailed quietly on the sea, heading towards a remote harbor without making a sound.

For safety reasons, all the lights on the boat have been extinguished.

No one would have thought that a few Ming warships would sneak up on such a night.

In fact, the Ottoman navy in the port of Mattia never thought that the Ming people would attack them. First, they felt that they were hidden enough that the Ming people would not be able to find them.

The second reason is that the Ming people are extremely powerful and extremely proud, and they will not use tactics such as sneak attacks.

But they were wrong.

Ming's intelligence system has already spread all over the world, and the Ottoman Empire is under strict monitoring. The Mediterranean Fleet's intelligence system and Jinyiwei have a large number of people infiltrated into the Ottoman Empire.

He has already figured out the deployment and branch area of ​​the Ottoman Empire Navy, and even approached quietly with the help of the night, preparing to wipe out all the Ottoman Empire Navy here in one fell swoop.

As for sneak attacking those who are honorable or dishonorable, this is not a question worth considering at all. The principle that the Ming army has always believed in is to obtain the greatest victory with the least cost.

This is the most basic point. The sneak attack method has been used countless times in history. As long as you can sneak attack, you will not fight head-on.

In the port of Mattia, more than 20 main warships of the Ottoman Navy were moored quietly. The pirates were already drunk and fell asleep with their arms around their women.

For these Ottoman pirates, nesting in this small port was not what they wanted at all. Their favorite thing was to take the initiative to rob.

Robbing the other party's goods and money, then ravaging their wives and daughters in front of the other men's faces, and finally selling them as slaves to all over the world, the pirates returned with a full load of victories.

This is the life they yearn for and like.

Instead of hiding in this small fishing port like now, the drinks here are not good, and the women are ugly and old, it really feels like years.

In the port, the people responsible for responding to the Ming Navy were also constantly on the move. They lit a lamp on one of the station ships of the Ottoman Empire Navy, and hung a few lamps where the pirates gathered, and then quickly evacuated.

These lights are the guidance given, guiding the cannons of the Ming Navy to attack.

A quiet night hides murderous intentions.

Accompanied by the misty moonlight, several Great Ming warships and a dozen small warships finally arrived here. After confirming with the internal response in the port through the lights, several Great Ming warships started to attack after a while.

"Three rapid fires, ready!"

"Get ready, fire!"

The warship swung sideways, and the cannons showed their ferocious faces. With the command of the commander, the cannons began to spray billowing thick smoke.

"Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the deafening sound, shells whizzed through the sky one after another, and then slammed heavily into the Ottoman warships in the port.

"boom!"

The moment the flower bomb touched the object, it exploded again. The deafening sound was accompanied by the flames soaring into the sky, and huge water columns rose continuously.

Some unlucky warships were directly hit, and the terrifying explosive force directly tore the wooden warships apart, and at the same time, billowing fires began to burn.

"what happened?"

The sleeping pirates were awakened by the loud noise. When they heard the loud noise, they immediately rushed outside without even caring about their clothes.

When they saw the rising water column in the port, the burning ships and the Ming warship in the sea not far away, these pirates couldn't help being scared to death.

"Are Daming people undead?"

"Can they find this place?"

Some people seemed unbelievable that the people of Daming could find such a remote place, and still launched an attack in the middle of the night, it was simply inconceivable.

Yet no one answered them.

"Turn up 12 degrees, fire!"

On the Ming warship, after emitting rapid fire, it quickly began to adjust the design parameters, and soon a new round of shelling followed with deafening noise.

"Boom~"

This time, the warships parked in the port were not so lucky.

This kind of shooting in a fixed state of both sides is not at all difficult for the well-trained Ming Dynasty Navy. Adjusting the parameters after rapid shooting can almost hit a hundred shots.

"boom!"

With the whistling of shells, these shells soon bloomed on the ships of the Ottoman Empire Navy Station. Horrific explosions continued to sound, and the sky-high flames illuminated everything. The quiet port suddenly became There was a sea of ​​fire.

The more than 20 main warships of the Ottoman Navy that were moored here have been destroyed in sevens and eighty-eight before they could start in a hurry.

But the Ming people didn't intend to stop just like that. More than a dozen small warships quickly approached the port, and the small artillery fire on the boats continued to roar.

Although it is a small warship, the running gear on it is not inferior at all, and a series of artillery is moving towards the port with rapid movement.

He continued to attack some warships until they were all blown up, and then he was satisfied with attacking the buildings in the port.

"Dong Dong~"

"Dong Dong~"

Fierce artillery attacks came wave after wave, the attacks were very fast, and the artillery fire was very dense.

This brand-new rear-loading artillery uses standard copper shell shells. It is simple and convenient to load, and it fires very fast. On the battleship, the gunners wear earplugs to protect their ears. Some are responsible for firing and some are responsible for loading. Shells, clear division of labor, quick action.

Wave after wave of shells attacked the port.

The pirates in the port didn't even have time to react, and the fierce artillery fire fell on them, and the area where they settled was taken care of.

Fierce artillery fire rang out continuously, and the terrifying air waves mixed with countless shrapnel shot towards all directions, the houses were blown up, and the pirates groaned in pain and kept running around, looking for shelters.

However, all of this was in vain. The artillery fire was extremely precise, and it fell into the port as if it had eyes. In a blink of an eye, the entire port became a hell.

There are ruins and ruins everywhere, corpses are everywhere, blood flows into rivers, and the fire is burning. The ships in the port, whether they are warships or fishing boats, have been completely destroyed. Countless wooden boards are floating on the sea. The waves are constantly drifting.

The burning warship was slowly sinking into the sea, fragmented, but the people of Daming didn't seem to intend to stop just like that.

The cannonballs are still pouring over, as if they don't want money, and they seem to be venting endless anger, as if they want to destroy everything here before they are willing to give up.

The fire was raging, and the miserable howls resounded throughout the port. Countless figures were fleeing in all directions. Those who walked farther looked back at everything in the port in horror. Their hearts were filled with endless terror and fear. Anger, however, has nowhere to burn and vent.

In the harbor, the Daming people's station boat was brightly lit, and the whale oil lamp was extravagantly lit, and the Daming people on board could be seen clearly.

Wearing a uniform white navy uniform and a military cap, those officers and the like were carefully observing the port in front of them with binoculars in their hands, as if they were very satisfied with this sneak attack.

The results of the battle are obviously very good. With zero casualties, more than 20 Ottoman warships here were completely destroyed. By the way, the Ottoman pirates in the port were severely cleaned up. I don’t know. How many people died under the artillery fire of the Ming people.

"The cannons of the Ming people are really terrifying!"

"What kind of cannon is this? It has such a terrifying rate of fire and power?"

"This should be a bomb shell, a shell that will explode again after landing, forming a secondary explosion, relying on shock waves and iron sheets to generate lethality."

"Flower bombs? Why didn't the blooming bombs produced by our Ottoman Empire have such power?"

"How many cannons do they have, and the attack speed is too fast. It feels like thousands of cannons are attacking us."

"The artillery should not be too many, but the attack speed is too fast. It is estimated that it can make several shots in a minute."

"And the accuracy is very high, almost all of them fell on our warships and houses."

"Without warships, how should we fight the Ming people?"

"Shit, we shouldn't provoke Daming people, and I don't know if those people above are out of their minds, what are they doing to provoke Daming people?"

"My Big Beard! Without this warship, how can I survive in the future."

"It's true that you shouldn't provoke the Ming people, they are much stronger than us."

"It's just how did the Ming people know that we were hiding in this Mattia port? It's really terrifying to find us here so accurately."

"Yeah, it's really scary!"

"This shows that the people of Ming Dynasty know us very well and have almost mastered our every move. That's why they were able to launch such a precise sneak attack and destroy all our warships in one fell swoop."

"Don't count on the sea. It depends on whether the land can regain a little advantage. Otherwise, our Ottoman Empire may be really dangerous this time."

"You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't provoke Daming people!"

"Isn't the lesson from that year not enough?"

The surviving pirates were all terrified, watching everything in front of them and discussing constantly.
