Peng San hurriedly brought this man back to Zhang Mao. Along with him was Han Liang, a civil servant.

"Turks? Weren't they destroyed during the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhang Mao was a little confused. Although he didn't like reading, let alone history books, he had heard that Mr. Shu talked about the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties since he was a child, and he had heard about the Turks.

Han Liang replied: "According to historical records, after the Turks were annihilated, some of their people merged into the Uighurs, some integrated into the Central Plains, and some went to the Western Regions. Today's Ottomans have deep connections with the original Turks.

"

Zhang Mao nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "Why did the Ottomans suddenly appear here?"

"Students have asked that the Eastern Romans who are currently at war with our army were defeated by the Ottomans, and only a navy escaped. In the past two years, the Ottomans have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a navy in order to completely annihilate them.

!”

"you mean……"

Zhang Mao looked a little incredulous and said: "Last night...you hit the wrong person?"

"Students think it is too early to talk about right and wrong at this time."

Han Liang shook his head and continued: "Whether they are the Eastern Romans or the Ottomans, for our Ming Dynasty, they are all enemies rather than friends. Last night was at best an accidental collision. Moreover, in that environment, if we don't

If you seize the initiative, the other party will also take action."

"That makes sense!"

Zhang Mao nodded heavily. Now the Ming Dynasty navy is deep behind enemy lines and fighting in a completely unfamiliar environment. A battle may break out when encountering any force.

In this case, then... strike first to gain the upper hand!

As for the Eastern Romans, the Ottomans...who cares, just do it!

"Oh, damn it!"

Zhang Mao suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead, and said depressedly: "These Ottomans came at the wrong time, delaying the emperor's official duties!"

Han Liang hurriedly said: "According to this person's account, the Ottomans and the Eastern Romans fought fiercely at Calamba Port for half a night. They couldn't capture it, so they hurriedly evacuated."

"So..." Zhang Mao opened his mouth and laughed, "These Ottomans did our work?"

"Exactly!"

"Damn it, ask him again, what kind of port is that, and what is its combat strength?"

Han Liang leaned over and chatted with the prisoners on the ground for a few words, then raised his head and said: "The Eastern Romans built a large number of fortifications at the Port of Calamba, so much so that the Ottomans thought that their actions had leaked the news in advance, and thus they were attacked by the Eastern Romans.

The Romans targeted.”

"In other words, the Eastern Romans built fortifications at the port, originally to prepare for our armored ships. At this time, the Ottomans sneaked over. This is called... yes, stealing chickens is not losing rice, but this chicken thief ended up again

We were caught, haha, haha..."

Zhang Mao smiled happily. The mission was not delayed, and he even caught a chicken thief. How wonderful!

Smiling and laughing, suddenly...

"Since these two groups of people fought fiercely for half the night, and the Ottomans retreated in disgrace, the Eastern Romans would not be much better off if they came, right?"

Hearing Zhang Mao's words, Han Liang was shocked.

Although he is responsible for logistics, as a scholar, he must have some strategies in his mind.

"Congratulations, general, it seems that this military exploit is within your reach!"

Zhang Mao smiled from ear to ear and waved his hand: "Send the order to attack Calamba Port immediately. This is not a feint attack, but an all-out attack!"

The fleet set sail again, and this time, they wanted to do something big.

The manpower and material resources deployed by the Eastern Romans in Calamba Port have been almost exhausted by the Ottomans. What can they do to resist the attack of the ironclads?

What a waste of a feint at such a good opportunity!——

At the same time as the sea encounter began, the battle for Condor City had already begun.

Queen Dosia and the nobles in the city were still discussing the battle at the port. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of cannon outside the city.

Countless cannonballs fell into the city like meteors and then exploded.

The huge shock wave destroyed all living forces, houses were blown up, and military horses were thrown away. The crowd who had just cheered for repelling the enemy immediately fell into endless fear.

"The devil, it's the devil!"

"O God, please bless us and bless your devout people!"

There were wailings mixed with some prayers. In their understanding, only the devil has such terrifying power.

However, God did not hear their call.

After rounds of shelling, the entire condor city has been reduced to a hell on earth.

The Eastern Romans in the city didn't even see what the devil looked like or even knew where he was, so they went to see God.

Outside the city, the Shenji Battalion set up a formation and poured out all the ammunition they carried.

Three thousand battalions stood in front of the formation, ready to meet the enemy who jumped over the wall in a hurry, but they were disappointed.

Because no one goes out to fight at all!

They could not understand how desperate the Eastern Romans felt now.

When Constantinople was captured, at least the navy escaped.

They were exiled overseas, but they did not lose their faith, but continued to accumulate strength and prepare for a comeback.

But, this night...

Most people don't even have time to feel desperate before they go to see God.

It is conceivable that when God asks, how did you get here, these people probably don't know how to answer.

After a good nap at night, you are here when you open your eyes?

The artillery bombardment lasted for more than an hour, until the Shenji Battalion ran out of ammunition and the barrels of the cannons were red.

At this time, most of the buildings in the city were reduced to ashes.

Queen Dosia was lucky enough to survive, but she was shocked to find that there were almost no living people left in Condor City.

There are ruins everywhere and human remains everywhere...

Boom!

The city wall built of huge stones collapsed, leaving a gap.

Immediately afterwards, the whistle sounded, followed by the heavily armed Ming army.

These people are like demons, rushing in all the way.

All the Eastern Roman troops were defending the port, and there were not many combat troops left in the city. Coupled with the bombing just now, there was no resistance at all.

When Li Zhen led the people into the city, she even felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness.

This battle was... really boring!

Because there was no decent resistance at all.

What are you doing?

Resist!

If you don't resist, how can you use the combat skills we have learned through training?

How to set up the formation, how to divide the troops after entering the city, who will occupy the city wall, who will clear the obstacles on the street... These tactics have been practiced many times in advance, and the various little skills are very well mastered, but it is a pity that they are not used at all!

After charging for a while, but still not encountering any decent resistance, Li Zhen felt bored, so she handed over the command to the front line and went to the Governor's Mansion.

"Who are you? Stop!"

Finally, a few guards were found in the Governor's Mansion, which were considered to be the few fighting forces in Condor City.

As soon as Li Zhen waved her hand, someone immediately raised a musket.

Bang!

Bang!

After the gunfire passed, there were no more obstacles.

Li Zhen didn't want to talk nonsense with them, and she didn't understand them anyway.

In the room, Dorsia turned pale when she saw this scene, and said to the guard captain James next to her: "Go and tell them that I want to negotiate!"

James refused to move because he didn't want to die.

"Don't worry, I am the Queen of the Eastern Roman Holy Empire. They will definitely not dare to do anything to you."

As Dorsia spoke, she reached out and touched James's face.

James nodded. As the knight who protects the princess, it's time for him to appear!

So, he strode out and said loudly: "You..."
