Chapter 200: Melee Battle, Battle, Battle! (a)
Giustiniani appeared on board.
Since the Battle of Constantinople, this famous ****** has become a wealthy man on the island of Gokche, growing some crops, and then often going to the port of Sofia to buy goods, and occasionally chatting with Wang Chang.
Conrado and Giustiniani don't have a very good relationship, but he volunteered that Conrado was not qualified to stop him.
Ten ships were far away on the north side of Brindisi, and more than two hundred warships filled the coast of Brindisi.
The mercenary officers stationed in Brindisi and the city council were dumbfounded. These huge crusaders (not yet claimed) were the messengers of righteousness, the whip of God, the shroud of Jesus, of course, for nothing! Otherwise, what kind of messenger of justice will you make? How dare you *** stand in the way of the sacred cause?
Within a few days, Brindisi's business was gone. Everyone packed up their belongings and prepared to go to the farm in the countryside to hide for a while. And without anyone to do business, there is no food, no cloth, no salt. After a few days, the messengers of justice found out that they had run out of food.......
The messengers of justice, who thought they were fighting on their own soil, did not think about food at all.
"Why do they have food to eat?" The commander-in-chief, Cardinal Leader Alfonso pointed to the ****** fleet in the distance and angrily denounced the purchase!
The purchaser said aggrievedly: "That's ..... It was a boat sent to Otranto in the south to find the grain that the Han people bought........"
Alfonso and Francisco sat down immediately....... At this node, I am afraid that I am not thinking that my brain is broken.
"****** people! Really...... What a disgrace to the Catholic world! What else could Francisco say?
"We ....... Why don't you buy food from them? Alfonso couldn't just sit on wax, he asked in a low voice. Take the path of ****** people, and the price is a little higher. We vouch in the name of the church that the money will be paid back. ”
"This ......" procurement is confused, and there is still this kind of operation?
He had to go. Conrador warmly introduced him to a businessman surnamed Pan. It's just that this businessman's face is a little vicious, which is difficult to let go.
"Grain? Of course it's easy to sell. We have excellent Ruthenian wheat. It's just that........ Can you afford it? Pan Daoquan asked with a pretended doubt.
With more than 40,000 lives on his back, the purchaser had no choice but to ask Conrado: "We are willing to use the name of the church as a guarantee to buy 50,000 shefers (about a tenth of a stone, just about that)!" ”
"Poof!" Conrador squirted on the spot! You take the name of the church, how many times have the **** of the church defaulted on the loan and not repaid, and there is a fart in the name!
Seeing Conrad's unhappiness, the purchaser hurriedly said, "This time it must be!" This time it's for sure! ”
Conrador stared at him suspiciously, then took out a paperwork, wrote and drew it, and handed it to him.
"Let's have Alfonso sign on this first! Let's talk about food again! Conrado smiled charmingly.
Alfonso and Francisco, you look at me, I look at you, or pinch your nose. This document is also very simple, if it is returned on time, the money of 50,000 Schaefer military rations will only be paid with 10% interest, and if it is not repaid, then we will break up and take the ****** church and church real estate as collateral.
There is an emergency to deal with in an emergency. In the past, the Church would never have agreed to such a stupid thing, but Alfonso could not disagree.
The procurement urgently went to bring food, which escaped the outbreak of the mutiny. The soldiers, who hadn't eaten for a day, were a little overdone.
Conrado and Pan Daoquan high-fived and celebrated.
"Happy working together!"
"Happy working together!"
.......
On the Strait of Otranto, the breath of the Great War has begun.
Chen Jia's warships were the strongest and the most massive, with complete artillery, and under the propulsion of oars and wind and waves, this column of warships had begun to seize the upper hand! Chen Jia was already on board, how could Li Anshi and Wang Chang's huge ships not be on board? There were also a large number of merchant ships that had served in the front of the army with artillery.
Directly opposite were the ships of the Venetians, while on their left flank were countries such as Urbino, and on the right flank were countries such as Siena and Florence.
"Humph! Ear of the chicken! Herald! Wave the flag and shout, and move forward bravely! The Chinese army broke through the opposing front to the right! The left army outflanked to the left, and the right army intercepted! We...... Eat a big dumpling! ”
Chen Jia had great trust in his ship. The Karak galleon was already the last glory of the galleys. Historically, after the Battle of Lepanto (Venice vs. Ottoman), the gown warship lost its status and the sail warship became the mainstream.
And that's more than one hundred and twenty years later!
Chen Jia has an advantage of 100 years!
Artillery!
The roaring artillery made the ship suddenly pan several meters at sea! The sea is shaking, the ships are shaking!
These little cuties smashing into the Venetian's main station ship with a terrible speed!
Break!
The mast is broken, the deck is broken! The Venetian ships were blown up!
"Fight back! And what about our artillery?! Fuck it! The commander shouted rudely, but the old cannons in the bow and stern of the ship were already thankful for Xie Yanan. As for shooting? You're still looking forward to what kind of bravery is played in the broadside battle.
The thunderous sound of artillery on the staggered battlefield is endless! Cracked wood mixed with human corpses floated around the sea!
Yang Yuting personally took the Berbers to start the broadside battle! Charge the same big ship and kill it! The small boat directly overturned, and the big boat collided with the boat gang!
When two ships meet! Yang Yuting watched the boat full of Berbers jump up like dumplings!
Slaughter!
This is the first time Yang Yuting has witnessed the killing! Mass killing!
The Berbers, who have no knowledge and no concept of wealth, are poor! So they will bear witness to their bravery! If they are brave enough, then they can earn a place at the foot of this new empire!
"Kill!" Brains smeared on the ground!
"Kill!" Musket roar!
Lee's Spartan wing and Greek auxiliaries also began to rush into the enemy's ships in the melee!
There are too many ships at sea! Except for Chen Jia's brigade of warships, there are almost no ships that can get out freely in such a melee where you hit me and I hit you!
And Chen Jia, because he rushed too fast, killed among the ships of Urbino, the Papal States and others!
Alfonso saw with his own eyes that the warship, which was larger than his own ship, went straight to the slaughter!
"Are they going to crash into each other? Is that so? Alfonso was so frightened that he burst into tears~
And when Chen Jia's warship didn't choose to pass by, the whole ship took a breath.
The rows of people on the opposite side, all holding in their hands, weren't they muskets?
