Chapter 1073 Bring Equality to Ottoman

Death and blood!

In the violent explosion, accompanied by the rise of thick smoke, there were a piece of broken limbs and broken arms around it. People struggling in the pool of blood were screaming and crying in despair. Soon, their lives slowly disappeared in the pool of blood...

Similar scenes are staged with many corners of the city. Although the whistling shells, although there is no accurate point due to the range, the impact on the people in the city is even far more than that of ordinary shells. After all, ordinary shells have accurate and targeted points. Now, these shells flying in the air are like scattered flowers of heaven. No one knows where it will fall and where it will fall.

Whether it is an imperial palace, a large temple, or a messy house, it may become its target. Whether it is a noble or a civilian, it will be swallowed by the smoke of gunpowder, and it may be torn to pieces by flying fragments and bones. Sometimes the blown bones will roar around and turn into sharp bayonets and stab others into the bodies of others.

In the face of death, these ruling classes, who were called reaya by the Ottoman Empire, were not born and not human, and at this time, they were finally equal. Even in the official Ottoman texts, they always called them "cattle and sheep" without any concealment in their speeches. Now, in the face of death, these cattle and sheep are finally equal to the men.

Whether he is a tax officer who usually sings a red face and a white face, or a man who usually leads dogs and takes a few white-skinned Slav slaves to patrol his farm, hunts horses and hunts, smokes and drinks coffee, he is like those "cattle and sheep", and is torn to pieces in the violent explosion.

It is unknown whether the prophet brought fairness to the Ottomans, but the shelling must have brought fairness to the Ottomans!

Of course, for the Ming fleet on the sea, they definitely don’t know how great they are. They actually gave "fairness" to the people of the Ottoman Empire. They just tried their best to lift the heavy shells, put them into the cannon chamber, and fire...

"put!"

Amid the deafening roar, the gunners once again pulled the flintlock igniter, and the bombardment gun's muzzle immediately spit out a ball of cannon flame, and the shells roared into the distance.

As the fleet lined up and continued to bombard the city of Istanbul, the Ottoman's turret on the shore also tried his best to attack the Chinese fleet that suddenly came over. They shouted and pushed the bronze cannons weighing more than ten tons. This heavy artillery cast under the guidance of European cannons can be called the king of the artillery of this era, at least the king of Europe. It can fire shells with a diameter of more than 28 cm, and shells weighing sixty or seventy kilograms are absolutely deadly for warships at sea. In the face of the attack of the Venetian Navy, it played an extremely important role, and even sank the Venetian sailboat with several guns.

Now, the Turks believed that they could use it to sink the Chinese warships, but... the Ming army's fleet was really... too far away from them.

"Dad Seyed, Chinese, Chinese warships seem to be far away from us..."

Faced with the reports from the gunners, Ali, who wore a green turban to show his identity as a saint, said loudly.

"So what if you're farther? Add more gunpowder, hurry up, sink them, and sink them no matter what."

Even if it's sunk a warship!

Ali was muttering this in his heart, why was he so nervous?

Because Turkey's military laws are strict, he will definitely lose his head if he loses a battle. Sometimes if he wins, he will lose his head if he has less spoils. As for now, so many shells are falling in the city, he wants to save his head, and there is only one way to deal with the Chinese people severely!

Finally, heavy artillery on the Turkish artillery roared, and those heavy artillery weighing more than 17 tons launched artillery bombardment towards the fleet at sea. In the scorching flames, dozens of artillery shells roared towards the Ming army.

"Battery bombardment!"

Almost as the turret fired, the masttop's looking hand shouted loudly, reminding the comrades on the deck.

But to his reminder, the busy gunners were deaf, and they continued to operate the cannons, load shells, and fired towards Istanbul, bringing valuable fairness to the people there.

How can such a great cause be stopped by others' interference?

"The Turks are not slow!"

Holding a telescope in his hand, Zheng Sen stared at the fort and murmured to himself.

“Is the distance sufficient?”

"The distance is enough, and their heavy artillery will definitely not be able to penetrate..."

The next moment, the dull sound of impact interrupted Li Qingwu's words. Amid the sound of impact, the people on the boat even heard the sound of oak breaking when they felt the shock of the hull, but the shells were still bounced to the distance, splashing a huge column of water on the sea.

The solid oak hull still withstood the shelling of Turkish heavy artillery. Of course, this is due to the distance. If it is hundreds of meters apart, they will definitely be able to be beaten to the opposite end.

But at present, a long enough distance weakens the power of the heavy artillery attack, and even that shot was full of luck. Most of the shells fell near the ship, hitting water columns at sea. The Turks' artillery attacks were huge, but... the effect was not worth mentioning! Even if they hit Chinese ships under the prophet, they often flew to the sea. There were only a few shells that penetrated the thin bulwarks and brought certain damage to the sailors on the deck against the wooden chips. But the damage caused by solid bullets was like this...

Looking at the casualties on the deck, Li Qingwu asked.

"Military Gate, do you want to fight back?"

After glanced at the shell rolling in the corner of the deck, Zheng Sen said expressionlessly,

"No, continue to shell Istanbul. We are not going to fight against the Turks. Record their gun positions. It will be useful next time we come!"

After thinking about it, Zheng Sen said again.

"Get a little closer, give them a chance to use the artillery fire and record the locations of those Turkish turrets!"

In fact, this was also a firepower test that exposed the Turks' artillery position. When they came back again in the future, they would naturally razed the cannons to the ground.
