() Although it is not a real navy, Jevic's briefing is still called the nautical diary by Ladislaus.welcome to read

"Thank you very much for your willingness to come here after a hard day."

"It's my pleasure."

"Have you encountered two battles today?" Ladislaus, in addition to reading the report by himself, also asked Jevich to send outstanding officers as envoys every day to help him understand the situation.

Ladislaus always summoned the officer after reading the report. During the time he was reading the report, the officer as the messenger could take a break and regain his spirit.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there were two battles at noon and afternoon today!" The officer who spoke was very young, and he was very excited to be able to brief his monarch, and he was not tired at all.

This was of course one of Ladislaus's secondary purposes, to strengthen his relationship with the officer corps.

He often invited these officers to dinner with the Hungarian nobles who were about to leave, which was also a means of national integration, although the effect was very, very limited.

"Second Lieutenant Raeder, is that right?" Ladislaus first tried out the military rank system in the small-scale inland fleet. This system, which was later proved to be able to greatly improve the organization of the army, also needs to prove itself in a small area now. .

"Yes, Your Majesty, Erich Raeder!" The young officer's mental state is also very good, he is not from aristocratic background, as the son of a middle school teacher, it takes a lot of talent and unremitting efforts to become an officer.

"How long have you been in the Inland Fleet?"

"Eighteen months, Your Majesty."

This is already very senior in the Inland Fleet.

"Very good. Being able to become an officer in such a short period of time shows that your ability must be outstanding."

"Thank you. Thank you, Sire, thank you."

Raeder talked excitedly. He had imagined the scene of meeting the monarch several times along the way, and this was really the best situation he could imagine.

"In my memory, although the resistance of the Ottomans became more and more intense as we went south, this should be the first time that the enemy attacked us twice in one day?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Over the past two months since we set off from Vienna, the enemy has never attacked twice in one day, but we have successfully repelled the enemy without losing a single ship!" Raeder He was the deputy captain of the "Rudolph the Great", and he commanded his subordinates to drain the water bravely when the captain died in battle, and played the role of the mainstay, so he got the honor of giving a briefing to Ladislaus today.

He did have reason to be proud: "Among our captives today are several members of the Barbary pirates. There are also old officers from the heathen Black Sea Fleet, but they were all defeated by us."

Although Suleiman rejected the idea of ​​letting Hayreddin go to the Danube to fight, it is inevitable to recruit elite soldiers from various fleets.

It's just that the counterattack fleet temporarily built with a transport fleet was still defeated by the Austrians time and time again.

"At noon, the enemy's first attack was hardly successful, was it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. General Jevich ordered us to stand ready and easily destroyed the enemy's attack."

Jevich mentioned many times in his past reports that the Ottomans like to try to attack while the Austrian army is eating. Of course, the Austrians are prepared for these tricks after coming down several times.

The night battle surpassed the abilities of the Ottomans. This is a situation where the test of organizational ability is not good for the weak side.So it is on the water.

"But the enemy's attack in the afternoon was a little bit beyond your expectations, wasn't it?"

"It is really abnormal for the enemy to come again. However, the main reason for our losses is the large scale of the enemy's second attack. The enemy has organized a total of more than [-] medium-sized and larger sailing ships."

The number in Jevich's report is 22 ships, and the total tonnage may exceed that of the Austrian River Fleet.

But the difference between armed forces and transportation forces is all-round, and this is true for technical arms such as the navy.

Although many experienced sailors participated in the formation of this fleet, capable officers also found barely usable ships in a short time, and collected catapults and giant crossbows from many forts.

However, the Ottoman method found that integrating weapons and ships into warships in a few weeks allowed officers and soldiers to understand each other. The process of forming combat power from the warship sewer is a professional activity.

And we must follow the steps. Sometimes great pressure will stimulate people's potential to create miracles, and sometimes it will bring disasters.

Although the number of Austrian warships was only one-third of the opponent's, the upstream Austrian fleet was the first to discover the opponent. Jevich quickly ordered the fleet to attack, and firmly grasped the initiative from the beginning.

Although the Ottoman commander had previously demonstrated his prowess in organizing formation voyages, he could only go so far.

The Ottoman fleet, which had only conducted formation sailing training once, fell into chaos soon after discovering the Austrian fleet that came from the upper reaches.

Although no captain turned around and ran away according to the Ottoman military law, there was no cooperation at all in the individual battles in front, and the ships behind could not use their strength, so they could only watch the comrades in front get beaten.

Although the "Rudolf the Great" was hit by a giant crossbow in the first round and opened a big mouth near the waterline, the Ottomans did not have the ability to focus fire effectively, and the flagship of the Austrian fleet was finally rescued by the hard work of Lieutenant Raeder.

Jevich himself has quickly accumulated a lot of experience in the battles in the past few months, and the damage to his flagship has not reduced his command ability. Concentrate on attacking the more active and protruding enemy ships, and finally achieved a big victory, sinking four enemy ships and capturing one enemy ship.

When the sun went down, the Austrian fleet stopped pursuing and returned to the scheduled camp, and sent daily messengers to Ladislaus.

"Whether it is the scale or the intensity of the resistance, it has never been seen after entering Hungary. Your Majesty, although the enemy still has more than fifteen warships that have escaped, we have wiped out the most daring warships. The enemy is in a short time. I can't recover!" Raeder's vision was different from Jevich's, but they both mentioned the tenacity of the enemy this time.

Ladislaus nodded and said to Raeder: "It's an impressive victory. Both the Austrian people and I thank you for your hard work, but I can't have dinner with you today."

"Give this Second Lieutenant Raeder a piece of bread and a cup of milk, let him set off with my military commander, let Jevic immediately anchor, and continue to go south to approach the enemy's camp to attack the camera."

"Those Hungarian nobles told them not to leave, so that Frenzberg immediately mobilized the army and marched towards the enemy's camp."

The cavalry of the Ottoman army has become more and more aggressive after approaching the Drava River. Ladislaus and his staff think based on the map that the opponent should still be one to two days away from the mouth of the river.

But the performance of the enemy fleet and cavalry showed that this was not the case.

Ladislaus realized that the Ottomans were trying to get rid of him, and the abnormal counterattack was a sign.To be continued. , Welcome to the starting point (qidian. Vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. m.qidian. Read.),
