Ball after ball of fire exploded on the surface of the sea, and these were all Ottoman ships that had been hit. Vertex updates are the fastest

"Boom!" An Ottoman gunboat was hit by a 250 mm shell, which instantly produced a huge explosion, and the blazing waves carried the shattered wood chips, and the cannon that had lost its support fell into the sea, smashing out columns of water.

The Ottoman warships were so much worse than the warships of the European countries that a single 250-millimeter shell exploded and almost half of the hull was shattered, and the hull tilted and seemed to be about to sink.

This was a massacre, even though the number of Ottoman ships in the Gulf of Marmara was dozens of times that of the Ming battleships, but it was impossible to resist the only thirty Ming battleships.

To a certain extent, even some Ming battleships rushed directly into the dense Ottoman ships, and even if they hit, they also sank many Ottoman ships.

"Boom!" Another small Ottoman ship was broken by the Ming battleship, and all the Ottomans on board were shaken into the sea, and the broken hull quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Thirty huge Ming battleships formed a line and swept directly across the Gulf of Marmara, and hundreds of Ottoman merchant ships, warships, fishing boats and other ships were sunk.

It was so tragic that it seemed that the entire sea in the Gulf of Marmara was covered with broken planks or Ottoman corpses.

The Ottoman Empire's maritime power suffered a devastating blow.

This is not over, the Ming expeditionary fleet pounced on Constantinople by the sea again.

When the Ottoman Emperor learned of the news of the killing of the Ming expeditionary fleet, the Ming expeditionary fleet was also approaching the waters of Constantinople, and it would soon be able to dump shells into Constantinople.

"How is that possible! How could the warships of the Ming Dynasty appear in the waters of our Ottoman Empire, and also destroy the sea power of our Ottoman Empire! The Ottoman Emperor was so confused that he didn't believe it was true.

If it weren't for the constant reports of the war, which forced him to believe it, he would have thought that someone was playing tricks on him.

The Ottoman emperor couldn't figure it out, he sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, and for ten months now, he did not receive a reply from the Ming Dynasty, but ushered in the Ming fleet to attack his Ottoman Empire, and he didn't know what was happening.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty sent troops from the American continent in less than two months, and the Ottoman soldiers were deported from the Central Plains to the Ottoman Empire, and now they have not even crossed the Indian Ocean, and it will take at least five or six months to send the news back to the Ottoman Empire.

Regardless of whether the Ottoman Emperor knew why this was or not, it was an indisputable fact that the Ming fleet was killed.

The Ottoman emperor and the Ottoman ministers were full of powerlessness, the Ming was their only hope, they thought that the Ming could help them defeat the Manchus, recover the territory occupied by the Manchus, and restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire, but the reality was not as they expected, they did not usher in the help of the Ming, but ushered in the destruction of the Ming fleet.

After many reports of war, the Ottoman Emperor and his courtiers had learned that all their sea forces in the Gulf of Marmara were being completely destroyed by the Ming fleet.

Originally, without the help of the Ming Dynasty, although they would not be able to resist the attack of the Manchus, but relying on the sea power that was much more powerful than the Manchu Dynasty, it would be no problem to survive for another five or six years, but now the Ming Dynasty has destroyed their sea power, without the support of the sea power, without the support of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely not be able to escape the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Ottoman Emperor hated!

"Damn it! It's all a bunch of devils, and the true gods will punish you-----" The Ottoman Emperor scolded, the only thing he could do in despair and powerlessness.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Before the Ottoman Emperor finished scolding, the entire palace shook violently, and it could be clearly felt that Constantinople was being bombed, and the sound of the cannonballs exploded just now.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Cannonball after shell slashed through the sky and poured into Constantinople, where it was bombed and building after building destroyed.

Ottoman civilians killed by shells, as well as some Ottoman soldiers.

The entire city of Constantinople was in chaos, fear and despair spread in the city, which was the ancient capital of the previous year, which was once the imperial capital of the glorious Byzantine Empire, accompanied by the glory of the Byzantine Empire for thousands of years, and also accompanied by the glory of the Ottoman Empire for more than 300 years, it is such an imperial capital, but now it is suffering unprecedented destruction.

"It's over! O God! Where are you-------" The Ottoman Emperor was inside the palace, looking at all this in despair, the Ottoman Empire's sea power was really destroyed by the arriving Ming fleet, and Constantinople, the core of the empire, was being destroyed.

In such a situation, the Ottoman emperor did not know what to do, except for despair, he could not fight back against the Ming fleet, which was attacking Constantinople.

At this moment, the Ottoman Emperor's resentment towards the Ming reached an unprecedented level.

At this moment, he thought angrily that their ancestors were forced by the Tang Dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty to move westward, and now they suffered the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and the glory of their two generations of people was defeated at the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty in the East.

Because of the strong resentment towards the Ming at this moment, the Ottoman Emperor even blamed the decline of the Ottoman Empire on the Ming Dynasty, rather than the Manchu Qing who relied on the ten-year war to bring down their national strength.

No matter what the Ottoman emperor and the Ottomans thought, the ending was already doomed and could not be changed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "On the sea, all thirty Ming battleships sailed to less than two hundred meters from the coast of Constantinople to bombard Constantinople, because of the ultra-long range of the guns on the Ming battleships, even if Constantinople was the largest city in the Ottoman Empire, almost the entire city was within the range of the guns of the Ming battleships.

"What a beautiful flame, the so-called Ottoman Empire dared to provoke the Ming Dynasty, this is what happened to them!" Huang Haitao, commander of the expeditionary fleet, looked at Constantinople shrouded in flames through the telescope and said with a smile.

Before sending troops from the American continent, Huang Haitao had already received a radio secretly from Zhu Cijiao, knowing what the ultimate purpose of this attack on the Ottoman Empire was, to destroy the Ottoman Empire's maritime power, accelerate the demise of the Ottoman Empire, and by the way, scrape another layer of oil and water from the Ottoman Empire, which was about to perish.

"Order five thousand infantry, prepare to land, attack Constantinople!" Huang Haitao ordered. In addition to thirty battleships, the Ming also sent 5,000 infantry to continue the attack on Constantinople after bombarding it.
