In order to defend Constantinople, the Ottoman army desperately stopped the Qing army and fought fiercely with the Qing army. Vertex updates are the fastest

"Humph! Dying! Aobai landed from the shallows with some soldiers of the Eight Banners and joined the battle with the Ottoman army.

Although Ao Bai is already sixty years old, but as the first warrior of the famous Qing Dynasty, Ao Bai's courage has not decreased much, and when fighting, he still dares to take the lead and fight with the Ottoman army in person.

"Poof! Burst! "Ao Bai slashed with a steel knife, and actually slashed two Ottoman soldiers with one sword.

Of course, Ao Bai and the Manchu Eight Banners around him did not go deep into the Ottoman army, they were mainly as war supervisors, supervising the landing of the Persian and Indian flags to engage the Ottoman army.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, even if many of the Ottoman army were improvised patchwork troops, and their combat effectiveness was not high, but behind them was Constantinople, the imperial capital of the Ottoman Empire, whether it was the Ottoman nobles or the Ottoman emperor, they did not want the Qing army to invade Constantinople, and many nobles personally came to the battlefield to supervise the battle, barely maintaining the resistance of the Ottoman army.

As the number of casualties on both sides increased, the entire shallows were piled with corpses, and bright red blood flowed into the sea, staining large areas of sea water red, and the smell of blood permeated the entire battlefield.

The Qing army had a large number of people, but the Qing army needed to cross the strait to land, and only a few thousand people could land at a time, and it was unrealistic to quickly defeat the more than 90,000 Ottoman troops.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Several Qing gunboats on the surface also shelled non-stop, killing and wounding the Ottoman army.

After three hours of fierce fighting, more than 16,000 corpses of the Qing army were floated, and more than 25,000 casualties were suffered on the part of the Ottoman army, nearly twice the casualty ratio of the Qing army. This is also because most of the Persian flags and Indian flags that landed before were the Persian flags, and there were only a few Manchu Eight flags. And that's it, the casualty ratio between the Ottoman army and the Qing army still reached the point of 1.5 to 1, and it is conceivable that the Ottoman army has long since lost the elite of the Ottoman Empire in its heyday, and it is similar to the third-rate army.

If it weren't for the large number of nobles and generals who supervised the battle behind, perhaps such casualties would have collapsed this Ottoman army.

However, it is only a matter of time before the Ottoman army collapses, after all, there are as many as 400,000 Qing troops attacking on the other side, and they are landing in a steady stream, and the Ottoman army cannot afford to consume it at all, not to mention that the number of Ottoman troops is at an absolute disadvantage, and the number of casualties is far more than that of the Qing army.

Another hour later, the Qing army suffered another 5,000 casualties, with more than 20,000 casualties, while the Ottoman army suffered nearly 40,000 casualties.

Seeing that the Qing army was still landing, the remaining Ottoman army began to feel powerless and hopeless, and it was impossible for them to resist the Qing army's attack.

Some Ottoman soldiers, in desperation, began to retreat.

"Don't quit! Kill all those who retreat! Seeing that the remaining Ottoman army showed signs of rout again, a large number of Ottoman nobles and generals who supervised the battle behind were shocked, roared angrily, and killed dozens of retreating Ottoman soldiers in a row, forcing the remaining Ottoman soldiers to continue to block the landing Qing army and fight with the Qing army.

Once again, the Ottoman army stopped the momentum of the collapse.

However, it was just a dying struggle, the Qing army had an absolute advantage, and even formed a defensive control belt on the beachhead, so that the follow-up Qing army could land more smoothly, and the number of Qing troops who landed was increasing, and the victory was seriously biased to the side of the Qing army, which was no longer something that could be changed by the dying struggle of the Ottoman nobles and generals.

----Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and more than a dozen Ottoman soldiers were killed by bullets.

The Qing troops who landed in this wave turned out to be all Qing rifle teams armed with rifles and elite Manchu Eight Banners.

"Kill, ----" thousands of elites full of eight banners, as soon as they landed, they launched a fierce attack on the remnants of more than 50,000 Ottoman troops, and more than 1,000 Qing rifle teams armed with rifles, like two sharp knives, were unstoppably inserted into the Ottoman army.

After more than ten years of research and development, after the development of primer, the Qing army has been able to imitate the bullets and rifles of the Ming Dynasty, although because of the use of black powder, the Qing army imitated the rifle of the Ming Dynasty, the effective range is less than 200 meters, but the speed of loading and firing has been greatly accelerated, and the combat effectiveness is at least three times that of the original flintlock pistol.

After the rifle was fully reequipped, the Qing Army's musket team had been renamed the Rifle Team, and together with the Manchu Eight Banners, it became the two most important elite forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Persian flag and the Indian flag have been at the cost of more than 20,000 casualties, the morale of the Ottoman army has been greatly reduced, although there are a large number of nobles and generals behind to supervise the war, and they are still barely holding on, but the will to fight is also on the verge of complete collapse, once that time, even if a large number of Ottoman nobles have been generals in the back, no matter how bloody the battle, it is impossible to recover.

This wave of Qing rifle teams and Manchu Eight Banners that landed was the last straw that completely pressed the Ottoman army.

After entering the Ottoman army, the Qing army's rifle team and the Manchu Eight Banners were unstoppable. In the face of these Ottoman armies, more than half of which were improvised patchwork, like a tiger entering a flock, one after another Ottoman soldiers were killed, on the other hand, in the face of the Eight Banners, few people fell.

On the side of the Qing army's rifles, with long-range rifles in hand, intensive shooting, it was like a unilateral massacre, slaughtering the Ottoman soldiers in front.

"Nope! Devil! The devil is here again! There were some Ottoman soldiers, looking at the more than 1,000 Qing army rifle teams in front of them in fear, and kept routing and fleeing. More than two months ago, most of these Ottoman armies had passed through the battle of Constantinople by the Ming expeditionary fleet. The 5,000 Ming infantry, as if slaughtering, slaughtered their Ottoman army in large numbers and forcibly routed them.

In the eyes of the Ottoman soldiers who went through that war, the Ming army was invincible, and the fear of the Ming army almost penetrated into their bone marrow. Yes, looking at these Qing army rifle teams who also used rifles to slaughter them, even if the performance of the Qing army rifles was far inferior to the rifles of the Ming army, they also successfully aroused the trembling and fear in their hearts.

In the face of 4,000 full and eight banners, although the Ottoman army could not stop the rout, but in the face of more than 1,000 Qing rifle teams, the Ottoman army was like a collapsed sand wall, out of control.
