Chapter 385
Peng San hurriedly brought this man back to Zhang Mao, accompanied by Han Liang, a civil servant.

"Turkic people? Wasn't it destroyed during the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhang Mao was a little dazed. Although he didn't like reading books, let alone reading history books, he had heard about the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties from Mr. Shu since he was a child, and he had heard about the Turkic people.

Han Liang replied: "According to historical records, after the Turkic people were exterminated, some of their people merged into the Uighurs, some into the Central Plains, and some went to the Western Regions. Today's Ottomans have a deep relationship with the original Turkic people. "

Zhang Mao nodded with a vague understanding, and asked, "Why did the Ottomans suddenly appear here?"

"The student asked, the Eastern Romans who are now fighting with our army were defeated by the Ottomans, and only one navy escaped. In the past two years, the Ottomans spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a navy in order to completely annihilate them !"

"what do you mean……"

Zhang Mao looked a little unbelievable, and said, "Last night...did you call the wrong person?"

"Students think that it is too early to talk about right and wrong at this time."

Han Liang shook his head and continued: "Whether it's the Eastern Romans or the Ottomans, to my Ming Dynasty, they are all enemies and not friends. Last night was at most a mistake. Besides, in that environment, if we don't If you seize the upper hand, the opponent will also attack."

"Makes sense!"

Zhang Mao nodded heavily. Now that the Daming Navy is deep behind enemy lines, fighting in a completely unfamiliar environment, any force that encounters it may break out into battle.

That being the case, then...be the first to act!

As for the Eastern Romans, the Ottomans... whoever cares, just do it!

"Oh, damn it!"

Zhang Mao suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead, and said depressedly: "These Ottomans came at a really bad time, and they delayed the business that the emperor told us!"

Han Liang hurriedly said: "According to this person's account, the Ottomans and the Eastern Romans fought fiercely in Calamba Port for half a night, and they were really unable to attack, so they hurriedly withdrew."

"So..." Zhang Mao grinned and laughed, "These Ottomans did our work?"

"Exactly!"

"Damn it, you can ask him again, what kind of port is that, and what is its fighting power like?"

Han Liang leaned over to talk to the captives on the ground, then raised his head and said, "The Eastern Romans built a large number of fortifications in Calamba Port, so that the Ottomans thought that their actions had leaked the news in advance, so they were caught by the Eastern Romans." The Romans targeted."

"That is to say, the Eastern Romans built fortifications in the port to deal with our ironclad ships. At this time, the Ottomans sneaked over. Get caught by us, haha, haha..."

Zhang Mao smiled happily, the task was not delayed, and he even caught a chicken thief, wonderful!
Laughing and laughing, suddenly...

"Since the two groups of people fought fiercely for half a night, and the Ottomans retreated in embarrassment, the Eastern Romans will not be much better, right?"

Hearing Zhang Mao's words, Han Liang's heart was shocked.

Although he is in charge of logistics, as a scholar, he must have some strategies in his mind.

"Congratulations, General, it seems that this battle achievement is within your reach!"

Zhang Mao smiled from ear to ear, and waved his hand: "The order is to attack Calamba Port immediately, not a feint attack, but an all-out attack!"

The fleet set sail again, and this time, they were going to do something big.

The manpower and material resources deployed by the Eastern Romans in the port of Calamba have been almost consumed by the Ottomans. What can they use to resist the attack of the ironclad ships?

Such a good opportunity, what a feint! ——
At the same time as the encounter at sea started, the battle for Condor Eagle City had already begun.

Queen Dosia and the nobles in the city were still discussing the battle at the port, when suddenly there was loud cannon fire outside the city.

Countless shells fell into the city like meteors, and then exploded.

The huge shock wave destroyed all living forces, the houses were blown up, the military horses were blown away, and the crowd who were cheering for repelling the incoming enemies just now fell into endless fear.

"The devil, it's the devil!"

"God, please bless us, bless your pious people!"

Amidst the wailing, some prayers were mixed. In their understanding, only the devil possessed such terrifying power.

However, God did not hear their call.

In a round of shelling, the entire Condor Eagle City has been reduced to hell on earth.

The Eastern Romans in the city didn't even see what the devil looked like, and didn't even know where it was, so they went to see God.

Outside the city, the Shenji Battalion set up a formation and poured out all the ammunition they were carrying.

The [-] Battalion stood in front of the formation, ready to meet the enemies who were eager to jump over the wall at any time, but they were disappointed.

Because there is no one out of town to fight!
They can't understand how desperate the Eastern Romans are now.

At the beginning, when Constantinople was captured, at least the navy got out.

They lived overseas, but they did not lose their faith, but continued to accumulate strength and prepare for a comeback.

However, this night...

Most people go to God before they even feel hopeless.

It is conceivable that when God asks how you came here, these people probably don't know how to answer.

After sleeping at night, you are here when you open your eyes?

The artillery bombardment lasted for more than an hour, until the Shenji Battalion ran out of ammunition and the barrels of the artillery were all red.

At this time, most of the buildings in the city were reduced to ashes.

Queen Dosia survived by luck, but she was shocked to find that there were hardly many living people in Condor Eagle City.

There are ruins everywhere, human remains everywhere...

Boom!

The city wall built of huge stones collapsed, and a gap appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the whistle sounded, followed by the heavily armed Ming army.

These people are like devils, rushing in all the way.

The entire force of the Eastern Romans was defending the port, and there were not many remaining combat troops in the city. In addition to the bombing just now, there was no resistance at all.

When Li Zhen led people into the city, she even felt a little emptiness and loneliness.

This battle... is really boring!

Because, there was no decent resistance at all.

What are you doing?
Resist!
If you don't resist, how can we use the combat skills we have mastered in training?

How to set up the formation, how to divide the troops after entering the city, who will occupy the city wall, and who will clear the obstacles on the street... These tactics have been practiced many times in advance, and all kinds of small skills are in place, but unfortunately they are useless at all!

After rushing for a while, but still did not encounter any decent resistance, Li Zhen suddenly felt bored, so he handed over the command to the front line, and went to the Governor's Mansion instead.

"Who are you, stop!"

Finally, a few guards were found in the Governor's Mansion, and they were considered to be one of the few combatants in Condor Eagle City.

As soon as Li Zhen waved her hand, someone immediately raised a musket.

boom!
boom!
After the gunshots, there were no more obstacles.

Li Zhen didn't want to talk nonsense with them, since she couldn't understand them anyway.

In the room, Dosia turned pale when she saw this scene, and said to James, the captain of the guard beside her, "Go and tell them, I want to negotiate!"

But James was hesitant to move because he didn't want to die.

"Don't worry, I'm the Queen and Countess of the Holy Empire of Eastern Rome, and they certainly wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

Dosia was talking, and reached out to touch James' face.

James nodded, as the knight protecting the princess, it's time for him to play!

So, he strode out and said loudly, "You..."

boom!
There was a crisp gunshot, and then there was no sound.

James fell in a pool of blood, his eyes full of disbelief.

Dosia obviously didn't expect that the other party would kill them as soon as they met, leaving no room for mediation.

From her point of view, she was the Queen and Countess of the Eastern Roman Empire after all, so at least she had to negotiate face to face.

Even if I can't beat you, it's okay to pay the ransom, right?

However, the other party didn't seem to know his identity, and he didn't want to know at all.

Zhang Jin followed the team closely, pointed at Docia and said, "That is the Queen of the Eastern Roman Empire!"
-
In Calamba Port, Bane looked at the fleet going away, with the joy of victory on his face.

Finally won!
However, this battle was almost exhausted. If those Easterners persisted for a while, the final outcome would be hard to say.

It's over, you can sleep well...

Boom!

Boom!

Bain ran out of the barracks and asked, "What's going on? Where is the sound coming from?"

"Your Excellency, it is Condor Eagle City!"

"Condor Eagle City?"

Bain looked to the east, and sure enough, clusters of flames appeared faintly in the night sky.

Sure enough, the Divine Eagle City was attacked!
His tactical sense is very keen, and he immediately thought that his hard work in the port to block the opponent's fleet seemed to be a trap!
"Oops, this is a feint, we were fooled!"

"General, what should I do?"

"Cunning oriental, it's disgusting!"

General Bain was furious, and said: "Assemble immediately and return to Condor Eagle City!"
-
In the morning wind, the Zheng He suddenly pierced through the fog and appeared in the port of Calamba.

Immediately afterwards, the cannons on the ship spit out flames, and the shells flew towards the fort on the shore.

Boom!

Boom!

Countless shells flew out like meteors and exploded on the shore.

Holding the binoculars, Zhang Mao exclaimed, "Has the artillery on the ship already shot so far?"

When he followed his father Zhang Fu to conquer Annan, although he had seen the artillery of the Shenji Camp, the artillery at that time was not so exaggerated.

The artillery carried on the Zheng He not only has a long range, but also has a very high accuracy.

It was clearly seen from the telescope that the forts on the shore collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, clusters of flames rose up.

The turrets on the shore were also firing back, but that poor range couldn't reach the ironclad ship at all.

The difference is too big!
Zhang Maoyue fought more and more, and after the long-range bombing, he commanded the Ming army to land and fight.

The port of Calamba has long been a mess and devastated.

The first Ming army to land carried rifles and quickly cleared the obstacles in front of them.

The few Eastern Romans were shot dead on the spot, and many of them died before they even realized it.

The tactics of the Ming army were extremely simple and rude, no matter what they encountered, as long as it was a living thing, they should fire first.

The defenders on the shore all went back to assist Shenying City, and the remaining troops were not many, and they could not stop the Ming army's attack at all.

Within half an hour, the Ming army took control of the entire port.
-
General Bane felt unlucky, really.

I fought fiercely with the enemy at the port for half a night, and finally got rid of him. As a result, my hometown was stolen.

Bring people to support, but before entering the city, I found that the city is gone.

Relying on some troops in his hand, he was ready to fight the Ming army, and then he saw what a rifle was.

This thing, a distance of a hundred steps, one shot at a time, how to fight?
Even if God came, I am afraid that there is nothing to do.

Therefore, Bain led the remaining Eastern Roman soldiers to retreat decisively after a brief exchange of fire with the Ming army.

At this moment, he knew in his heart that it was over!
The Eastern Roman Empire has completely disappeared from this world!

Looking behind him, there are roughly 500 people left. The only way out is the sea. Find a deserted island and become king. The Eastern Roman Empire is a thing of the past.

As long as you are alive, nothing else matters.

However, when he hurried back to Calamba Port...

boom!
boom!
When the familiar voice came, Baine rolled on the donkey subconsciously and fell to the ground, only to save his life.

He lay on the ground and did not dare to get up. He glanced cautiously, only to find that the port had been occupied.

By this time, Bane had collapsed.

It was hard for him to understand why he had won the battle in the first half of the night, and he just slept. As a result, Condor Eagle City fell, and Calamba Port fell...

why?
Regardless of the reason, Zhang Mao saw an enemy approaching and ordered his men to beat him violently.

The battle ended so quickly that, in fact, the Eastern Romans did not resist at all.

Half of the more than 500 people died, and the rest chose to surrender without hesitation.

As the most devout believers of God, they actually resist to see God in their hearts.

Zhang Mao curled his lips and said, "Throw them all into the sea!"

The emperor did not explain how to deal with the captives, so Zhang Mao had his own way of dealing with them.

In his view, these foreigners not only colluded with officials to smuggle, but even attempted to kill the king, killing them a hundred times would not be enough.

PS: I have been writing the outline today, and I feel that there is not much to write later.

You should have noticed that in this volume, there are very few words describing the battle, and the battle process is simplified as much as possible, directly jumping to the result.

The original idea was to finish writing this episode, and then update a few episodes, for example, Gu Xi...

There is also the Wusi Tibetan chapter, because it has designed some high-tech, it is still interesting to write about it.

In the original outline, there was a line about Wan Zhen'er, but since the outline was changed later, this line was also cut off.

That's all I can write, and I can't write any tricks, but I can still look forward to the new book.

From "Shou Ninghou" to "Daming God of War", the plot direction is all traditional historical literature, which seeks development through science and technology. I feel that I can't write new heights. Therefore, I will try a new routine in the next book, focusing on scheming. No technology.

It's just that I just have an idea, and I haven't even written an outline yet...
