Chapter 13 Nogai Storm (8) Odessa (3) Red Ship Fleet
On the sea, two people were standing on the bow of the big ship that was walking in the front.
One of them is Qitad!
With such a huge fleet, he obviously did not come to visit Aladdin, nor did he come to trade, it was not his turn.
After learning about the incident of the Nogai people, he finally made up his mind.
"Since the Ottomans and the Russians are testing it repeatedly, why don't they test it too?"
The Truchens' temptations are not like the Ottomans who follow the steps, and the Russians, who are thunderous as soon as they test!
His decision was amazing, that is, to completely take over the lands of the two Noga peoples of the Black Sea, which originally belonged to the Crimean Khanate, Yedishan on the west coast of the Azov Sea, and Yedikule!
In this way, he would 100% directly offend the Ottomans and indirectly offend the Russians.
But he has to do this, not to mention that it is a test anyway, so it would be better to play a big one.
He decided to take Odessa first!
The main forces of the Ottomans are concentrated in Odessa, Nikolayev and Kafa, but Odessa is the westernmost part. As long as Odessa is controlled, it can attract the Ottomans to continuously go from land and sea to land.
Come to rescue, and there will be a good show at that time.
The man next to him was Dai Qing, who originally belonged to Sarekamesh's tribe, and is now the commander-in-chief of the Black Sea Fleet.
This time, Qitad brought three squadrons, and thirty ships, each capable of carrying a cavalry battalion!
In other words, he brought three regular voyages at once!
Since he also appeared on this big ship, he brought his guard division!
When there was about one mile away from the Port of Odessa, a squadron came out and took the lead in killing!
In recent years, in order to implement his Black Sea strategy well, he has arranged two squadrons in Yesk, one Mariupol, one Khlsson, and one Sevastopo. Now Yesk
The two squadrons of Sevastopol all drove here!
The Sevastopol squadron emerged from the formation.
Deng Quan, the youngest son of Sangham Yang, the second priest of the Turgut tribe, is twenty-five years old this year, eight years younger than Qitade. He has been admitted to the school at the age of ten, and entered the provincial capital middle school at the age of three thirteen.
At the age of five, he entered the Lagan Naval School and trained aristocratic children with Persian sailors on the first Caspian fleet of the Khanate.
He originally had a Mongolian name, but after seeing Chu Huer's younger brother change it to Deng Ce, he also asked Qitade to change his Chinese name. Since Deng Ce was there, he could only be Deng Quan.
.
Deng Quan is the best graduate of Lagan Naval School. If you want to study in this school, it is more difficult than entering Elista Military Academy. After all, the Navy is a technical branch, and it is obviously not good to rely on physical fitness, riding and shooting.
.
You must have some attainments in mathematics, astronomy, and mechanics.
Deng Quan is one of them. Although he is only twenty-five years old now, his actual ability has long surpassed Dai Qing and Rahman.
Deng Quan's mother was also a Nogai person, which made him not look like a typical Mongolian person, but more like a Han person. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Qitade valued him.
Deng Quan is now standing on his flagship, the forty-meter-long ship. According to the arrangement of the squadron, the flagship is usually centered when going out. The other four main ships are distributed around, each with one in front and one behind.
Clippers.
The bell of the watchtower had already awakened Zhivkov. Although he was Odessajenicheri and the commander-in-chief of the navy, he still lived in the city at night. After hearing the bell that called the police, he quickly thought about it.
Opened.
"On this sea, there is no way for an enemy to come to the south... No, the last time they fought with the Russians, their fleet came from the Mediterranean and blocked the Bosphorus, causing our country's great power.
If they fail, do they have to use the same trick again?"
While thinking, he quickly ran towards the city wall.
There is also a special military port on the dock, about two hundred meters long, where twelve large ships of various types were moored by his command, half of which were new European warships, and half were large sailboats paddling with slaves.
.
The so-called "new style" is obviously not the latest battleship, but they still have small Garen warships.
It is midsummer now, and the west wind is prevalent. Not to mention anything else, the slaves who have been on the boat can make the large galleons move first.
Although Zhivkov lived in the city, he was a pirate after all, and he left half of the sailors on the ship just in case.
Now he wanted to get on the ship to command the battle himself, obviously it was too late. He could only hope that the pirates he brought from the Kingdom of Barbary could withstand the first attack from the enemy.
Soon, he arrived at the watchtower.
After seeing the flags flying on the enemy ships in the distance from the telescope, he immediately understood.
"Truchen!"
He would not naively think that ships of this size are just for trade, they must be for war!
Just as I was thinking, I saw the roaring Truchen warships lined up, and all the sails and flags on the ship were lowered, and only a real Truchen dragon flag was retained on the highest mast!
/p>
At this time, three large galleys had already sailed out of the port and rushed towards the enemy ship with the blessing of the oars and sails.
According to Zhivkov's previous combat experience, the enemy ship came from the east sea. Because the west wind is strong, if the enemy ship wants to attack its own ship, it must first turn around not far from the harbor, and then use the side.
The wind goes south along the coastline and finally forms a parallel queue with your fleet.
But at present, these five Truchen ships obviously ignored the existence of the wind. They continued to sail against the west wind, and were about to collide with their three large galleys!
But people are obviously not so stupid. Since you are a sailboat, in order to effectively paddle, the distance between the ships will inevitably be very wide, otherwise the powerful surge will make their paddle useless.
After arriving here, Deng Quan had already seen the situation at the port in his telescope. The other three galleys were following behind the three galleys in front of him!
Behind, three small Garen ships are also sailing away from the dock!
The distance between the galleys was about fifty meters, and he issued an order in an instant.
I saw two main battleships suddenly burst into the gap between the three sailboats!
At this time, the distance between the Truqin battleship and the galley was about twenty-five meters!
The faces of sailors on both sides are clearly visible!
"Boom..."
The artillery on both sides' warships have fired!
As a sailboat, since the main space was left to the paddlers, the only place for combat was the first deck, where the Ottomans could not use large cannons, all of which were short-barrel cannons.
/p>
Since the sails of the Truqin battleship were all lowered, their decks seemed empty, and when the shells fired by the Ottoman cannons were fired, most of them did not fall on the solid walls of the Truqin battleship.
, it is to fly over the sky.
As for the Truqin battleship, as mentioned earlier, each of their artillery has twenty parts of ammunition near, including ten parts of solid bullets, five parts of grenades, and five parts of grenade shotgun.
The galley is fifty meters long and is about the same height as the Truqin battleship. Faced with such a behemoth, it is obviously the most suitable to use a grenade shotgun.
Sure enough, when the cannons on both ships fired, the ones on the sailboat were obviously sparse, while the Truqin battleship was a volley!
Six grenade shots aimed at the two galleys on the outside, and twelve shots on the middle. When the Truchens invented and produced copper shell bullets on a large scale, they produced grenades for artillery.
It's natural to play.
The explosion principle of Truchendou shotgun is obviously different from that of European countries. European countries still use delayed fuses, but Truchens with sufficient experience in firing pin detonation are much more convenient.
A twelve kilogram shot warhead is still solid, but there will be a pause when it hits an obstacle. The real pause will cause the real trough shot behind to hit the solid bomb in front due to inertia, and then cause an explosion.
.
At a distance of twenty-five meters, the gun position of the Truqin battleship was almost flush with the paddle position on the sailboat, which allowed the Truqin gunner to make a volley without aiming!
After the volley, the two main battleships quickly passed the three galleys!
In the previous round of bombing, the Truchen ship suffered a slight loss, but twenty of the twenty-four grenade shots hit the sailboat completely, and a violent explosion occurred on the belly of the ship where the large number of slave paddlers hid!
p>
After losing the blessing of paddling, due to the strong west wind, they could not change the direction by adjusting the sail position in a moment, so they could only continue to rush forward!
After the ship rushed out of the galleon array, the Truqin gunner had completed a new round of artillery loading!
The three galleys continued to rush forward and met the two Truchen main battleships behind them. The two warships naturally followed suit and continued to pass through their gaps. However, this time they loaded the grenade shotgun.
But grenade!
The muzzle was also slightly raised.
"Boom..."
It is obviously not as good as flat shooting when bombarding with an upward inclination, but twenty-four grenades still caused a lot of damage to the Ottoman sailors and masts and sails on the first deck!
After these two main battleships passed through the middle, the deck of the three large galleys had been broken. Due to the bombardment of grenades, the sails on the three masts on the ship were no longer complete, and half of the masts were just now.
The shotgun storm was broken and the paragraph was broken.
The sails with unbroken masts are also devastated. Some sails are broken because of the broken sail cables, which instantly turn into flags.
Also in this splash storm, some grenades blasted into the trunk of the boat again, killing the slave paddlers and sailors there again!
Chapter completed!
