Chapter 875 Battle of the Black Sea Strait (Part )

Graal watched helplessly as the big man's steam warship passed by his own warship, and the waves even made their warship rock back and forth.

"What's going on? Han's steam battleship is ignoring us?"

The general next to him looked at the Han warship getting further and further away, and couldn't help but said to himself in surprise.

"Oops, I understand, their target is the main force in the port, not us trash fish!"

Graal suddenly woke up and shouted.

The Han's steam battleship was fast and could arrive at the port before they reported the news, catching them off guard, so they didn't waste time on them.

"This is how to do?"

The generals under his command also panicked when they heard this, and immediately asked Graer.

"Return as quickly as possible and fire warning shots as you go, trying to be heard by people at the port. Then they may be able to make some preparations in advance."

Graer was also very decisive and ordered immediately.

These patrol fleets are originally for warning purposes. They are not too far from Canakkale Port. If they fire now, people at the port may be able to hear it.

"But the Han's steam warships have already headed towards the port. If we go back, aren't we seeking death?"

The general under his command asked again in confusion.

"Idiot, I only said return, not the port. Let's send a warning while sailing east as fast as possible, trying to escape from here and enter the Sea of ​​Marmara. There are other navies there. If we can notify them in advance They also did a great job!"

Graal immediately cursed, and then ordered his ships to move forward at full speed. He wanted to take advantage of the Han's warships to attack the port and escape to the Sea of ​​Marmara. After all, since the last defeat, Graal and his men had become dissatisfied with the Han's navy. Because of the psychological shadow, he never thought about fighting the opponent head-on.

Gral's method was still very effective. After all, no matter how fast the Han's steam battleship was, it could not be faster than the sound. With the loud sound of the artillery on their ship, it finally attracted the attention of the main force of the Ottoman navy in Canakkale Port.

But it was still too late. When the main force of the Ottoman navy in the port was just beginning to prepare to meet the enemy, the steam warships of the Han Dynasty entered the port and fired a salvo at the chaotic Ottoman navy.

The main force of the Ottoman navy was blocked in the port, and there was no place to hide. In the blink of an eye, several warships were sunk by gunfire. Some of the sunken warships even blocked the important waterways of the port, causing other warships to also Trapped in place.

It can be said that in the face of the raid by the Han navy, the Ottoman navy in Canakkale Port had no resistance at all, and soon suffered heavy losses. Some Ottomans even simply abandoned the ship and fled to the shore. After all, it was better than staying on the ship and waiting to die. .

After almost all the Ottoman warships in the port were lost, the Venetian navy finally arrived. They took over the Han's steam warships and launched another fierce attack on the port. It seemed that they were going to sink all the remaining Ottoman warships.

However, the steam warship left the battlefield at this time and quickly headed east after leaving the port. It was obvious that they wanted to enter the Sea of ​​Marmara and wipe out all the remaining Ottoman navy.

Zhang Zhong stood on the Qingzhou, not even looking at the Canakkale Port that was already in a sea of ​​fire behind him. The Venetians would finish there, and his next target was Shkodra, another important Ottoman port. inside.

In the last naval battle, Zhang Zhong discovered that the most powerful thing about the steam battleship was not the cannon on the ship, but the speed of the steam battleship itself. Compared with the slow sail battleships, the steam battleship was not only faster, but also more flexible. It was like a young man with strong physical skills beating an old man with handicapped hands and feet. Therefore, this time Zhang Zhong took advantage of the steam warships to conduct a blitzkrieg at the Ottoman port in the Black Sea Strait. He mainly used the speed of the steam warships to catch them off guard after the Ottoman navy reacted, and tried to eliminate them all at the port. among.

The current battle situation at Canakkale Port also confirms that there is no problem with Zhang Zhong's plan, and everything is implemented very smoothly. As long as the Shkodar Port is captured, the Ottomans will lose their last stronghold in the Black Sea Strait.

After occupying the entire Black Sea Strait, the second step of the plan can be implemented, which is to support Mufas and the others to land on the south coast of the Sea of ​​Marmara and kill Bursa as quickly as possible. As long as they occupy that place, it is equivalent to Captured Ottoman Asia.

Just as Zhang Zhong's steam battleship was heading towards Shkoderi, Gral, who had escaped before, was also running ahead at full speed. He wanted to arrive in Shkodar early to report the news, so that not only would he not have to bear the charge of escaping from the battlefield, but he would also great merit.

So after escaping from Canakkale Port, Gral ordered his men to move forward at full speed. He himself stood at the stern of the ship and looked behind, for fear that the big man's steam battleship would catch up.

As a result, Graal stared for a long time and saw no trace of the steam battleship. This made him finally feel relieved. After another half day, Shkodra was finally in sight in the distance.

"We are finally here. Hurry, hurry up. As long as we enter the port, we will be safe, and we can also accomplish a great feat!"

Graal walked from the stern to the bow, looking at the port in the distance and said excitedly.

When Grall's crew members saw the port, they all became energetic. Each one of them seemed to have endless strength, and they didn't need anyone to urge them to work.

Seeing that the port was getting closer and closer, and the smiles on Graer's and others' faces were getting more and more, they didn't expect that they suddenly heard the lookout above their heads shouting in horror: "The general is not good! The big man's steam battleship is catching up. Got it!"

"what!"

When Grall heard this, his whole body trembled with fright, and he immediately turned his head and looked back.

On the sea surface behind them, they saw several iconic large chimneys moving rapidly towards them. Soon the steam battleship was revealed, and its speed seemed to be getting faster and faster.

"General, Han's steam battleship is too fast. At the current speed, they will definitely rush into the port ahead of us!"

The general next to him reported to Graer with a panicked look on his face.

"Set off the cannon! Warning!"

Graer hesitated for a moment, and then gave the order very decisively.

"Boom boom boom~"

Following Graal's order, his warships also opened fire one after another, and the thunderous sound of cannons suddenly alerted the port. Some people even spotted the rapidly approaching steam warships.

"The Han navy is coming, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Seeing the steam battleship rushing over with murderous intent, the port also hurriedly responded. The navy stationed at the port was not much stronger than the previous Canakkale Port. Because of the speed of the steam battleship, they did not give them much time to react. Already entered the port.
