Chapter 1082 The Turks' Hope

The wind blew away the smoke, and the result of the first volley of the guns was clear at a glance.

On the sea, there are floating fragments of shipboard, wreckage of masts and rigging. There are also corpses that are floating with the waves, and those floating bodies hit the hull with the waves.

At this moment, a series of shells hit the water, throwing the dead and the struggling fallen into the air.

Blood splattered, the broken corpse was held in the air by the water column, and then it fell everywhere. A Turkish warship that was trying to approach the warship was shot in the head. With a "boom", a ball of flames rose from the bow, and the flames swayed up in the thick smoke, illuminating everyone's eyes.

The second round of volleys began!

Another violent explosion sound when the volley of the strait guns was fired, as if it was a collision between heaven and earth. The moment it hit the Turkish warship, it caused a series of explosions.

The artillery shells fired by the Ming army were not just instant fuses, but also some used timed fuses. After those shells penetrated the shore, they would cause a bloody storm on the gun deck. The smoke-filled shells rolled quickly on the deck. The spherical shells weighing hundreds of pounds could smash the gunner's bones by their weight alone. Before the people on the deck screamed, the shells exploded and smashed the gunners who could not dodge. The explosion shock wave instantly swallowed the entire gun deck...

The scene in front of him made Mustafa's eyes shatter. He couldn't even believe his eyes. Accompanied by the Ming army's shelling, Turkish warships were torn to pieces like toys.

This is no longer a simple naval battle.

But a one-sided massacre!

Although the Turkish gunners bombed the Ming army with grape bombs and shotguns, and although their 68-pound guns could also penetrate the Ming army's warship gangways at close range, the damage caused by solid bombs was limited. However, on the surface, the Ming army's fleet was extremely tragic. The masts of many ships were broken, even the main masts of Zheng Sen's flagship were the same. A solid bullet hit the main mast without bias, directly hitting the thick mast in two parts up and down. The masts hung a few meters above the main deck and soon fell into the sea from the right rear side. The main sail truss was shot down together with the main sail above. The wreckage of the mast and rigging hung in a mess on both sides of the ship's side, and the waves hit the hull.

In the fierce Turkish artillery fire, some warships have become brigged sailboats and will soon become sloops.

After the main mast of the flagship was broken, a Ming Dynasty sun and moon flag was also shot down. A sailor immediately picked up the flag, climbed onto the rigging, and fixed it again to the mast. In the rolling smoke, the sun and moon flag was flying.

On the seemingly riddled Ming army warship, although the mast was broken, the boats hanging upside down on the light deck were also smashed into pieces. However, the heavy wooden boards and oak structure of the hull protected the sailors on the ship well. With the amazing thickness of the shipboard and excellent manufacturing technology, the shells fired by the Turks were constantly bounced into the sea, causing no fundamental damage to the hull.

"The Chinese hull is iron!"

In the Turkish fleet, every Turkey, including Mustafa, looked like she was crying and she was desperately bombarding the Ming army's warships, but all this was futile. In contrast, the Ming army's artillery fire was devastating.

The Ming army continuously adjusted its positions forward and backward, so that the left and right sides of the cannons could be aimed at the enemy ships. They launched fierce volleys of the cannons again and again. Each time, they would send a large number of Turkish warships to the bottom of the sea. In front of the heavy bombardment guns, the wooden warships were simply vulnerable.

This sea is boiling!

As the warships were blown up one after another by the Chinese, seeing that they were in desperate situation, Mustafa realized that his last hope was to send infantry jumping onto the Chinese warships, fight hand-to-hand with their crews, and seize the Chinese warships.

"Cover Apudula to carry out a jump gang battle!"

With the order of Muss, the Turks raised their whips in the twenty remaining slough sailboats. With the sound of the whip, the Slavic paddlers in the bottom cabin rowed the oars desperately. The bow of the copper-covered boat immediately split the water surface, shaking red waves.

On the deck, the Turkish jumping infantry wearing steel breastplate stood on the deck with swords and guns in hand. Under the setting sun, the armor on their bodies was flashing with dazzling cold light. Once upon a time, in the time of time, these elite jumping infantry helped the Turks win naval battles many times, and now they are also the last chance for the Turks!

The rapid paddling and the wind-snatching driving made the Turks very fast. Although the Ming army's artillery fire was very fierce, and even sank several sank boats were directly sunk on their side, several sank boats were still successful. Although their bows could not bring a fatal impact to the Ming army's warship, the bows of the bows still crossed the stern railing of the warship and entangled with the rear mast side rope.

During the collision, several warships twisted into a ball on the sea, spinning counterclockwise, and dancing deadly dances. At the same time, the fully armed soldiers on both ships rushed towards the junction of the two ships. At this time, both sides could see the whites of each other's eyes and count how many teeth the enemy had. As soon as the Turks stepped over the stern railing with a scimitar, the officers on the ship raised their hand and shot them in the face. The bullet hit his head, and before the man stood firm, he fell on the deck.

Faced with hundreds of Turkish infantry jumping up, the Ming army's Marines did not give them the chance to jumping up, but instead picked up the rifle and fired it.

"Machine gun, machine gun..."

Amid the roar of the first mate Wang Anping, the sailors on the watchtower in the middle of the main mast had already operated the mobile mechanism and fired machine guns at the Turks' deck. This was an extremely advantageous position. The firepower from the mast could cover all the enemy ships from beginning to end.

Accompanied by a burst of rapid gunfire, the Turks on the deck that were swarming like a pile of lamb, knocked down on the deck in a bunch of bullets.

However, in just a moment, dozens of Turks on the deck fell down, and the more deadly one was to keep throwing grenades, and the grenades exploded one after another, and even directly bombed some Turkish infantry jumping into the sea. The Turks who originally wanted to implement jumping grenades did not seize the Ming army's warships, but were killed by Ming Marines on their ships.

In the face of huge casualties, the so-called honor and courage are thinner than the dead leaves in the autumn wind. Facing the strong wind caused by machine guns and grenades, courage is nothing more than the autumn wind that swept the fallen leaves and was blown away without a trace.
