Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1894, Erzincan City Shelling
"Report, the 1st team successfully raided the port of Mattia and destroyed a total of 23 main warships of the Ottoman Empire in the port!"

"Report, the third team successfully attacked and destroyed all the Ottoman warships in the port of Berot, a total of 3 warships!"

"Report, the 5th team successfully attacked and destroyed all the Ottoman warships in the No. 8 target port, a total of 21 warships!"

With the rapid transmission of telegrams, the information of each action team was quickly transmitted to the hands of the naval commander Deng Cheng.

While listening, Deng Cheng kept finding places on the map, and then drew an X on them.

This time the navy's operations were carried out almost at the same time, and the Ottoman navy was not given any chance to carry out extremely precise sneak attacks on all the targets it had grasped.

The operation was very successful, without exception, almost all of them were successful, completely destroying the Ottoman Empire's navy in one fell swoop.

"it is good!"

"After killing these warships of the Ottoman Empire, we will have no worries. We can go straight to Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire in the Sea of ​​Marmara."

"We are much faster than the army, and we will bombard the capital of the Ottoman Empire first!"

Looking at the map in Deng Cheng, the navy of the Ottoman Empire was almost completely destroyed, and a few remaining warships were in the Sea of ​​Marmara, protecting the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

Killing these Ottoman pirates in the Aegean Sea opened the way to attack the capital of the Ottoman Empire. All the ports of the Ottoman Empire along the way are no longer threatened and can be blocked and attacked at will.

"Report!"

"The commander of the Spanish Mediterranean Fleet, Duke Almeida, sent a message saying that they are very happy to help our Ming Empire and are willing to help us destroy the hateful pirates."

At this time, a communications soldier hurried over to report.

"The pirates have been wiped out by us, what do you want them to do?"

"These Spanish matadors can't do anything else. They are very capable of making troubles. They just want to follow our Ming Dynasty to make a fortune from the Ottoman Empire."

When Deng Cheng heard this, he immediately laughed.

The Spaniards hated pirates very much. In the past, they were often attacked and harassed by pirates of the Ottoman Empire, and later they fought hard with English pirates, French pirates, and Vikings.

Pirates can be said to be the red cloth in the eyes of Spanish matadors, and they can't wait to tear all the pirates to pieces before giving up.

"Reply to them, we have already repaired the pirates, so don't bother them."

After thinking about it, Deng Cheng replied.

I have already let myself finish the work, what do I need them to do, follow me to reap the benefits?

If I had said earlier, I could have arranged for them to raid several places.

Of course, it is also possible that the Spaniards did not expect that the Ming Navy's actions were so fast. It only took a long time to find the Ottoman Empire's navy and directly solve all of them.

On the other side, here in the city of Erzincan on the Eastern Front.

The 10 Ming army has arrived under the city of Erzincan, and this steep fortress built on the basis of the terrain is like a screen blocking the way of the [-] Ming army.

In the fortress, the Ottoman Empire dispatched 20 troops from various places in the east and placed them here, preparing for a decisive battle with the Ming army here.

The memory of the First World War more than ten years ago is still fresh in the Ottoman Empire, and the wounds are still aching. When hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here in the city of Erzincan, they were completely killed by the Ming army.

So this time, the commander of the Ottoman Empire lost his memory and did not dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight with the Ming army. Instead, he built a solid fortification and relied on the dangerous terrain to play a defensive battle with the Ming army.

The field battle is definitely not the opponent of the Ming people.

Because on the road to Erzincan, the most elite Sipasi cavalry regiment of the Ottoman Empire fought with the vanguard of the Ming army.

Facing the Ming army full of rifles and riding horses, the ancient cavalry almost smashed their eggs on the stone, and were almost wiped out. They couldn't even escape, because the vanguard of the Ming people was equipped with two horses. At the same time, he is well-trained and is the best rider. He can shoot a gun while riding a horse.

How is this fight going?
Could it be that the muskets purchased from the Daming people in his hand can win the Ming people?
Daming used rifles, and the muskets they sold to everyone were obsolete and obsolete. Although muskets can be used to bully the Persians and Egyptians, compared with the rifles of the Ming people, they not only have a shorter range, slower rate of fire, and higher accuracy. Poor, and the power is also very different, there is no comparison.

Therefore, whether it is the traditional cavalry or the new musketeers, the Ottoman army is not an opponent of the Ming army, and there is no comparison at all on the frontal battlefield.

It can only rely on dangerous fortresses and cities for defense, hoping to delay the pace of the Ming army, and then send a small group of cavalry to harass the rear of the Ming army and cut off the food and grass of the Ming army.

This can be regarded as a more feasible solution.

But they underestimated their own defense capabilities, they also underestimated the attack capabilities of the Ming army, and they even underestimated the current transportation capabilities of the Ming army. Do you think the large number of trucks and cars accompanying the army are for viewing?
The logistics support of the Ming army has already got rid of the previous model, but is carried out on a large scale using cars, trains, and motorcycles. The speed is fast and the transportation volume is large. The grain, grass, and ammunition transported at one time are enough for the Ming army to use for a long time.

"The navy's actions are fast enough."

"It turned out that they had succeeded in a sneak attack and destroyed the main naval force of the Ottoman Empire in one fell swoop."

Liao Yuan looked at the latest information and couldn't help but say.

Originally, I thought that the speed of my army should be faster. The navy of the Ottoman Empire was scattered, and I didn’t dare to fight the Ming army at all. I don’t know when the navy will find them. .

Who knows how long it will take this time, the navy has already finished its work and is marching towards Istanbul.

"Send the order, seize the time to attack the city, take down the city of Erzincan as soon as possible, and open the gateway to the capital of the Ottoman Empire."

"We can't fall behind any longer. The side of West Road might reach the capital of the Ottoman Empire before us."

Liao Yuan also gave the order to attack the city.

I am also a person who wants to save face. When the time comes, several armies will attack together. The navy and the west route have already killed the capital of the Ottoman Empire, but my own army from the east route is still dawdling under the city of Erzincan. It's so messed up.

You must know that the telegrams are so fast now that the emperor in the capital and the princes in the court are all paying attention to the battle situation here, this is not the past.

In the past, it was possible to lie and hide a lot of things, but now there is no way, because every move is reported to the imperial capital, and even the emperor and the princes in the imperial capital are commanding from thousands of miles away. this war.

Following Liao Yuan's order, at the artillery position outside Erzincan City, thousands of heavy artillery slowly raised their muzzles, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at Erzincan City.

Now the artillery used by the Ming army is mainly the new Miyun cannon, all of which are advanced rear-loaded copper shells. There are also two types of artillery shells, one is flowering shells, which are specially used to kill enemies and destroy buildings, and the other is armor-piercing shells. , shells specially designed for hard fortifications.

Because of the appearance of cement, the defensive capabilities of the fortifications have also soared. Ordinary shells have no effect on this kind of fortifications. The newly researched armor-piercing shells must be used to destroy these fortifications.

"Three rounds rapid fire!"

"Get ready, fire!"

On the huge position, thousands of cannons are arranged in several rows, each row has 200 cannons, several meters apart from each other.

Accompanied by the waving of the attacking flag, thousands of cannons immediately made deafening, overwhelming noises, and waves of terrifying air blew away the billowing smoke that had just risen.

"Boom boom~ boom boom!"

The violent cannons resounded through the sky, the momentum was amazing, and the sound echoed on the ground, which also awakened the Ottoman defenders in the city of Erzincan all at once.

When the general of the defending army saw the densely packed artillery positions outside the city with a telescope, he was frightened half to death, and then quickly hid in the solid fortifications.

"hu~hu~"

The shells in the sky formed a wave of bullet rain, and fell towards the city of Erzincan with a roar.

"Boom~"

The terrifying loud noise was deafening, the terrifying air waves continued to rise, and the violent explosion shook the ground. The entire city of Erzincan was like a rock hit by a huge wave, trembling and trembling constantly, as if it was about to fall down at any time. Dangerous in general.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

Wave after wave of shelling continued to fall on the city of Erzincan, deafening, and the whole city was shaking.

"Ah~"

Countless Ottoman soldiers hid in the bunkers, covering their ears in pain. Many people didn't notice this. Their ears were bleeding from the terrible sound, and they howled in pain and misery.

At the same time, he looked at the trembling houses and bunkers in horror, and was always worried that a shell would hit him, smashing himself to pieces.

Terrible!

Under the attack of thousands of heavy artillery, the ground trembled, and the vultures in the sky were frightened and fled. As for the city of Erzincan, which was under the attack center of the artillery fire, it was like a tottering bird in the wind and rain. A flat boat that looks like it will be overturned at any time.

"Dong dong!"

The attack of thousands of cannons, the scene is extremely situational, and the shells cover every corner of the entire city of Erzincan, tearing everything to pieces.
