Chapter (Second update, please subscribe)

Those who have never fought with the Chinese will never know how powerful the Chinese are. Perhaps the Cossacks in the hinterland of Eastern Europe do not know how powerful the Chinese are, but for the Turks, they know how powerful the Chinese are.

Before Zheng Sen led his troops to attack Constantinople, the Egyptian Governor sent troops to harass him many times. The Ming army tried to interfere with the logistics of the Ming army in the Sinai Peninsula. Faced with such harassment, Zhu Heyu directly ordered Huya Town and Yingyang Town to attack Cairo.

The two towns of troops conquered the cities and plundered the land, but in just half a month, they arrived in Cairo. A few days later, they blasted the Cairo walls and entered Cairo. As a result, Türkiye's rule in the Egyptian province was destroyed.

Cairo, Alexander...

A series of dazzling battle results blinded the eyes of European countries and also made the Ottoman Pashas in all parts of North Africa feel anxious all day long. They are worried that the Chinese will come to call at any time.

In fact, if the Egyptian province did not threaten the Sinai Peninsula and the rear of the army, Zhu Heyu had no intention of dividing troops at all. After all, for him who was in a foreign land, it was clear that behind the seemingly siege of cities and land was the weakening of his own troops. As the occupied area expanded, he needed to send a guard. Every division of troops meant that his troops would become more and more limited.

Dividing troops is definitely not a good thing.

Seek a chance to fight!

In fact, the attack on Jerusalem was to seek a decisive battle, and to allow the Turks to dispatch troops and generals to recover the loss.

When Muhammad really led his army south as he wished, Zhu Heyu knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come. Just as he was about to deal with heavy damage to the Turks in Damascus, the Jews there sent Zheng Sen's letter to him.

Zheng Sen attacked the Maramar Sea, attacked Constantinople and had occupied it.

This news was too amazing, and even Zhu Heyu once doubted its authenticity, if it were not for the fact that the letter was written in a password. The subsequent news that the Turks retreated further confirmed the accuracy of the news.

But what should I do next?

"Dardanell!"

Faced with the reality that the fleet might be trapped in the Strait of Marama, after pondering for a long time, Zhu Heyu chose to attack Dardanell.

...

On June 27, 1667, the Dardanelles were as calm as before, with several iron chains blocking the strait across the strait. At this time, the strait prohibited anyone from entering and exiting. However, for the Turkish gunners on the fort at the entrance of the strait, they were not guarding against the fleet coming from outside the strait, but preventing the Chinese fleet that broke into the Malamar Sea from leaving here.

"Hey, I don't know when Istanbul will be recovered from the Chinese!"

On the fort at the entrance of the strait, several Turkish soldiers were talking in whispering there. However, unlike in the past, even when they were talking, their eyes did not dare to leave the sea. The reason for this was that just a few days ago, the military judge came to the fort and cut off the heads of dozens of people in succession because they put the Chinese fleet into the strait.

Not to mention the officers, even the soldiers on duty that day were chopped off their heads. At their feet, although the blood had dried up, there seemed to be a strong smell of blood in the air, and no one dared to act rashly.

Suddenly, a Turkish man pointed at the sea and screamed.

"There are fleets!"

As he shouted, a centurion hurriedly stood on the fortress with a telescope. When he found a small fleet heading towards this side, he immediately ordered the alarm bell to ring.

As the crisp bell rang on the turret, the sailboats of different sizes spread out, they approached the entrance of the turret in a half-moon shape, and then they stopped several miles away from the turret.

Most of the tonnage of these slurry sailboats from Venice and Genoa are only hundreds of tons. Unlike in the past, a huge siege cannon was installed on their bow. Its base was also laid with a large number of cables and canvas to buffer, and thick beams were used under the buffer cushion to ensure that the huge recoil during launch would not tear the ship apart.

It is not a new operation to load siege cannons on board. But for those Venetian sailors, they all looked at the huge siege cannons with a certain awe.

"Prepare to load!"

With the cannon leader's roar, the 200-pound conical shell was hung up and then stuffed into the chamber from the muzzle. This steel-cast front-loaded rifled cannon has always been a powerful weapon for the Ming army to siege, and even the strongest fortress could not stop its shelling.

Over the past years, countless city walls and fortresses were bombarded by it into piles of rubble. Now, its muzzle pointed directly at the sky and pointed to the Turkish fort at the entrance of the Dardanelles.

While these siege gunships were preparing, the Turks on the fort also started to work on the fort.

While putting down the telescope, Umir shouted loudly.

"Prepare the incendiary bomb!"

With a command, they immediately set fire to the hot bullet stove and kept stoking the wind for the stove. The iron bullets in the furnace were quickly burned red.

The lessons of fighting against the Chinese navy are extremely profound. Those Chinese warships are as if they were wearing a layer of iron armor and are difficult to penetrate. It is precisely because of this that Turks now use "incendiary bombs", that is, solid iron bombs burned red. In the fortresses on the coast, "hot bullet furnaces" will often be built for defenders to heat shells on a large scale, which is miraculous for the burning of enemy ships.

Even if the Chinese warships cannot be penetrated, these shells can cause fires when they land on their decks!

But despite this, Umir's heart was very clear that the distance between them was too far, and at such a long distance, the shells had no accuracy at all.

"Fortunately, their shells are not accurate either!"

While Umir was talking to himself, suddenly, there were violent cannon sounds coming from the sea. Even if they were several miles apart, they could still feel the deafening cannon sounds. Even on the cannon, they could see that the closed sails suddenly bulged up while the cannon sounded, and then a huge white smoke enveloped the bow.

"What's this?"

Umir and the defenders on the fort looked at the sea with astonishment. At the same time, dozens of heavy shells flew towards the shells. In the shocking whistling sound, the shells falling from the sky accurately "smashed" the solid stone fortress of the fort. With a violent impact, at the moment the stone chips collapsed, some people even saw that the cannon drill drill was entering the stone wall. Before they could react, the violent explosion exploded from the stone wall.
