Adana is located on the main connecting road connecting the eastern and western provinces of the Ottoman Empire, so it is naturally prosperous. With a population of more than 700,000, it is considered a large city in the Ottoman Empire.

When the soldiers rushed into Adana, they saw an apocalyptic scene. The place that could barely be called a road was filled with broken bricks and tiles and various human remains.

The surrounding buildings were dark, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke. Not to mention pedestrians, not even anything moving could be seen.

The biggest threat to the commandos is none other than the garbage on the road. Because those things can cause sprains and stings if stepped on crookedly.

In a place like this, crows are unwilling to come down. They neigh and circle in the sky, making death cries.

The combat process was more like a march, and the Aka rifle had no chance to fire.

After the bombardment ended, Adana's defenders collapsed. They threw away their weapons, armor, and even their food bags.

They didn't want to think about anything but to stay away from Adana, the place of death. During the first bombardment, many people were still confused. During the second bombardment, the tragic casualties seriously stimulated their nerves.

.

The Turks are also a brave and fighting nation, but they have never fought such a war. Those things falling from the sky will cause huge explosions when they hit the ground. The orange flames will engulf everything, and people dozens of meters away will be shaken alive.

die.

Blood rained down from the sky, dripping on people's faces, hands, and clothes. From time to time, hands, heads, arms, thighs, and butts fell from the sky. People running on the street would be hanged.

Hit.

They saw women running like crazy on the street without any clothes on. If this were normal times, these women would be stoned to death, but no one cares about them now.

There was a leader in the escaping team, but he didn't say anything, so others naturally didn't care.

The Marine Corps commando team occupied the entire city of Adana with almost no effort. Standing on the remaining city wall, you can see black spots on the land in the distance, fleeing towards Ankara.

Of course, there were also people who fled towards Antioch. They were families with relatives in the Eastern Province!

Did the commandos just watch blankly? Relying on two legs to chase people who had been running for two or three hours? This is more difficult. It is more practical to occupy this city.

As for those who escaped? Someone will take care of them.

Sultan Tiep never dreamed that one day he would ride a huge ship and come to fight in the distant Turkic lands. But how powerful is this big ship? He could fit his three thousand men and horses in two ships.

After landing at the port, he set off immediately.

The enemy has been fleeing for a long time? There is a lot of road to cover. Now Tipu Sultan is very rich? The general has collected enough horses for him in India. Now he has three thousand cavalry, each of whom has two horses, and one horse carries a load.

There are people and a horse carries equipment.

Too rich? Not only dry food, but also water are ready? There are also cans called lunches. They taste good. Each person has an Indian-made rifle. There are 200 bullets per person, and there are also hand grenades.

.

During the training in Egypt, they were very generous and could shoot bullets at will. The cavalrymen, who had never used firearms, soon fell in love with this weapon that could shoot at long distances.

Compared to bows and arrows? Guns are much stronger.

With rifles and sabers hung on the horses, Tipu Sultan waved his three thousand cavalry and chased them in the direction of Ankara. Among the orders he received was to kill everyone in sight.

But if the opponent is an old man or a child? A woman or a deserter? Anyone who can move? They will be turned into immovable corpses.

Although this would tarnish the reputation of the warriors? Sultan Tepu had no doubts. Because he knew? If they did not respect Li Xiao's orders, they would become corpses.

If you want to survive, you must prove that you are useful. Being able to use the Li family's sword is also a sign of usefulness.

It's not that they don't have support, their support is in the sky. In other words, there are always eyes in the sky watching them. If they don't do well, those people will tell them with crazy shooting that this is wrong.

No one had a chance to correct, because no one could survive such a crazy shooting.

On the other side, Li Xiao began to attack Constantinople.

"Let's see the power of the giant cannon. It's two hundred silver coins per blast. That's just throwing money away." Master Ao held the binoculars and stood on the airship waiting to watch the most expensive fireworks show. Four hundred and sixty millimeters.

It was also the first time for Mr. Ao to see artillery fire.

"Boom!" A cannon shot shook the sky and the earth. Ao Ye felt that the airship was shaking. The hand holding the telescope shook unconsciously, but Ao Ye quickly stood firm and aimed at the gray-white color of Constantinople.

of huge stone walls.

"Boom!" A huge column of smoke rose into the sky from the city wall. Ao Ye could clearly see that a stone the same size as himself flew as high as himself.

Now they feel that it is a wise move to look from a distance. Otherwise, they will definitely be hit by those flying rocks.

After waiting for a while, the smoke dissipated. Everyone was shocked. There was a huge gap in the huge stone wall. Constantinople stood there like a child changing its teeth.

As for the soldiers who were still guarding the city wall just now, no one thought they could survive. Perhaps they were vaporized as soon as the shell exploded.

"Boom" Another cannonball hit the city wall. In front of the 460mm cannon, the thousand-year-old stone wall of Constantinople was a joke.

When the smoke rising into the sky dissipated, it was not only the walls of Constantinople that were shattered, but also His Majesty the Sultan's determination to persevere.

It's over! I originally thought that we could defend ourselves by relying on the huge stone wall. But now it seems that it was a wishful thinking. Standing on the tower, Suleiman II watched the collapse of the huge stone wall, and felt bitter in his heart. Why in the first place?

He wanted to kill the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and anger the crazy commander of the Ming Dynasty.

God knows how they have such powerful weapons. These are not human weapons, they are the weapons of gods. Could it be said that all the people of Ming Dynasty are gods?

Standing on the tower in confusion, he thought that if the Ming army attacked, he would see the fall of his empire, just like when his ancestors occupied this city many years ago.

There is no other way. The best way is to jump off this tower. The body will be eaten by crows or eaten by wild dogs. It doesn't matter anymore. The thousand-year empire left by the ancestors was destroyed in his hands.

inside.

Living with no shame! Living with humiliation!

From dawn to dusk, the Ming army did not attack. They only shelled the city wall once, as if to demonstrate against Suleiman II.

"Your Majesty the Sultan! The Ming army did not launch an attack, and they did not even have the slightest intention to attack." Prime Minister Ahmed stood behind His Majesty the Sultan and did not move a step for the whole afternoon.

"Will they attack tomorrow?" Under the setting sun, Suleiman II looked at the huge stone city wall that looked like an old lady. The last barrier was originally thought to be the strongest barrier. Unexpectedly, it would be exposed in front of other people's weapons.

, just a scumbag.

"Maybe, maybe not, only the great true God will know." Ahmed murmured to himself, as if talking to the air.

The monarch and his ministers just sat on their chairs, watching the sun set and then the moon rise. They watched like this for a whole night. No one spoke or moved.

Even, they didn't eat or drink.

Li Xiao was on the airship, watching the moonlight shining on the ancient Constantinople. Many, many years ago, the Turks were also attacking this city.

The strong stone walls protected the surviving Byzantine Empire. But in the end, they failed because they forgot to close a door.

The Ottomans would not make such a mistake. They closed the door tightly. But the city wall had been reduced to rubble by giant cannons!

The capital they were proud of was gone, and so was their ambition to persevere. Presumably the aloof Turkic king would recall his elite frontier troops in the western provinces.

Under the moonlight, Li Xiao drank wine and looked at the Turkic capital like a prey. Now he is the winner and the conqueror.

Li Xiao never thought about capturing this Turkic capital. As long as he surrounded the city, the Turks would continue to come from afar to save their king.

They will also be eaten by Li Xiao one after another, until this flesh and blood mill grinds all the elites of the Ottoman Empire here.

If this were not the case, Li Xiao would have sent people all over the world to hunt down these damn Turks.

They are locals and have lived in this land for thousands of years. If they are really determined to fight guerrilla warfare with themselves, it will really take a lot of effort.

With so little trouble, the Ottoman army would be like moths, coming to put out the fire in Constantinople.

Gunfire rang out in the distance, and tracer bullets flew randomly in the air.

This is the army shooting people who are trying to escape from Constantinople. It seems that they are trying to escape at this time. It seems a little late. Li Xiao is not worried that the news will not spread. As a thousand-year empire, even this means

None, the country would have been destroyed long ago.

Fireworks continued to explode in the sky, and the flashes of light continued to illuminate silhouettes of people. The soldiers squatting in the trenches kept aiming and shooting with guns in their hands.

Everything seemed like a shooting training, and the targets were Ottoman soldiers, old people, children, women, men. As long as they were humanoid, they were all included in the shooting.

Bullets were flying freely through the crowd, and the people who were shot could be heard screaming loudly. The screams once covered up the sound of gunfire.

At dawn, the escape operation reached its peak. Many people poured out of the gap in the city wall and threw themselves into the Golden Horn Bay, trying to swim to the other side.

People who are in good health and good at swimming help their family members who are not good at swimming, and some people prepare driftwood in advance to help those who cannot swim.

Countless people were flopping on the sea, but the Ottoman army did not care about these things. They did not join the fleeing army, and they were considered loyal and patriotic.

When the Ottomans finally climbed up the northern shore of the Golden Horn with great difficulty, the machine gun rang out, and the sound of the general machine gun tearing linen cloth rang out.

Many people fell on the beach covered in blood. The north shore had been occupied by the Ming army. Anyone who landed on the beach would be shot mercilessly. The order they received was to shoot anyone who tried to escape from Constantinople.

people.

The sound of gunshots around Constantinople lasted for a whole night. It is unknown how many people were shot and killed on this night. This night was also called the Bloody Night in the history of the Turks.

At daybreak, the escape stopped. Because no one wanted to go out to die anymore, and it was impossible to escape under the cover of darkness, let alone the dazzling sun in the sky.

This is not escaping for one's life, but committing suicide.

"Have they not attacked yet?" Suleiman II asked Ahmed in a hoarse voice with bloodshot eyes.

"No, everyone who tried to escape is dead. The person who went out to deliver the message is also dead. The only way to communicate with the outside world is the carrier pigeon." Ahmed's voice was also hoarse. Last night he and Suleiman

The same as before, sitting in the tower watching the tragic escape.

"Let them go out and order the people from Kopurulu and Sophia to come back. This is the battle of the rise and fall of the Turks. This is the battle of the rise and fall of the Ottoman Empire. We must concentrate all our forces to defeat the Ming army and defend the Turks.

Glory." Suleiman II stood up.
