Zhang Jin unfolded the map again, and then pointed out the country.

The more Zhu Qizhen listened, the more solemn his face became, and he secretly said in his heart, fortunately, he didn't stab this guy!

With his familiarity with Ceylon and his strategic thinking, he really couldn't find a second one in a short period of time.

If he is allowed to let go of his hands and feet, in less than a month, Ceylon Island can be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But......

This guy ...... You don't have any thoughts, do you?

Zhu Qizhen thought hard for a long time, and finally said: "I already know your plan, the top priority is to take the Condor City and kill the Eastern Romans. ”

Zhang Jin knelt down and bowed his head: "The students will go all out and live up to the grace of God!" ”

Zhu Qizhen beckoned, Li Zhen understood, stepped forward to take the people away, and prepared to attack Condor City at night.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Yuan Bin couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this person is a rebel, don't be gullible!" ”

"What do you think...... Strategically and tactically, how is this person? ”

Yuan Bin thought for a while and replied: "Except for the lack of practical experience, the details are almost meaningless when making plans, and I can't find any other problems. ”

"The awareness of the overall situation is very good, and the details are not handled properly, which shows that this person has not deceived, and it also shows that this person has a good sense of the overall situation, and he will definitely play a key role in taking Ceylon."

"What the emperor said is very true, but the minister thinks ...... It's better to be on the safe side, after all, after all, ......"

"After the offender, I know!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "You might as well give him a chance, if he really has any crooked thoughts, it's not too late to deal with it!" ”

-----------------

In the night, the Ming fleet went all the way south.

Since it was a night sailing, the ironclad simply turned off the steam engine and, like other ships, hung up its sails and moved forward.

During the boat, Zhang Mao was still very cautious.

Although it is a sheep attack, however, the surface work must be done sufficiently.

If the deterrent power of the ironclad ship is not reflected, the effect of the sheep attack will definitely be greatly reduced.

The route was quiet and safe, and no enemy ships were spotted along the way.

Even so, Zhang Mao was still fully prepared, vigilantly observing the grass and meters around him.

These Eastern Romans, apparently, had lost their ability to fight at sea, and on this important route, not even a single ship could be seen.

Of course, if the enemy ship is really discovered, Zhang Mao can also make sure that he will send them to God with a boat.

At midnight, the fleet finally approached the port of Calamba, followed by ......

Rumble!

Rumble!

Zhang Mao suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly ordered: "Alert, alert!" ”

I saw a sudden burst of fire in front of me, and it seemed that there was a fierce battle!

-----------------

The Eastern Romans had been prepared for a long time, and had been even more prepared since they learned of the attack on the port of Negombo.

Sure enough, the enemy came that night!

In the port of Kalamba, the artillery of the fleet and the artillery of the port were bombarding each other, and the two sides were fighting happily.

"Colonel, the enemy's attack is too fierce, and there are heavy casualties!"

"Hold on, this is the last wave of the Easterners' offensive, as long as we hold on, we will win!"

"Colonel, General Bane is here!"

Immediately afterward, Bane, with a gray beard and little hair left, dressed in bright silver armor, walked up to the officer.

"How's it going?"

"Report to the general, the enemy offensive is fierce, however, our artillery has already sunk three ships, as long as we hold on, the victory will definitely belong to the Holy Empire of Eastern Rome!"

"Good!"

Old Bane nodded and said, "Hold on, victory will always be ours!" ”

"Yes!"

The battle continued, the fleet at sea, the batteries on the shore, both sides bombarded each other, each with casualties.

Bane took the binoculars, looked at the ships on the sea, and secretly said in his heart, the Ming army is really powerful, but it is just ...... Why didn't you see the legendary ironclad?

Is there a possibility that the so-called ironclad ship is just a useless commodity?

-----------------

The adjutant of the battleship Calaissay stepped forward and reported: "General Baghdad, the firepower on the shore is too strong, if we continue to fight, I am afraid it will be bad for us!" ”

Baghdad's face was gloomy, he really didn't expect these Eastern Romans to build such powerful fortifications.

Before he went to sea, he didn't take these people seriously at all.

After all...... The old family has been destroyed, and a group of lost dogs are just a group of dogs, why fight against the Ottoman Empire, which is in full swing?

As a result, the Ottoman fleet rushed directly into the port of Kalamba, intending to annihilate the Eastern Romans in one fell swoop.

Surprisingly, these Eastern Romans seemed to have been prepared to build a large number of fortifications in the port, and in a moment, they were evenly matched.

Baghdad was taken by surprise, and in his expectation that he would take the port and land on the island of Ceylon.

But why is there such fierce resistance......

It's as if the Eastern Romans knew they were going to attack this port and gathered all their forces in advance, what a hell!

Seeing that the offensive ahead was met with fierce resistance, and it was afraid that it would not be able to be taken in a short time, Baghdad had to order to evacuate.

If you continue to fight, even if you can win, I am afraid that your own forces will be exhausted.

When the time comes, who will land on the island?

Now it's still temporarily avoiding the limelight, waiting for recuperation, and then come to the decisive battle!

The Ottoman fleet began to retreat, turning to the north.

-----------------

Seeing this, the Eastern Romans in the harbor began to cheer.

The so-called Ming Fleet is nothing more than that!

What ironclad and where is it?

It's not like we have been bombarded by our cannons!

General Bain had a smile on his face, and the defeat of Prussia, Charlemagne, and Grirut made him extremely cautious, and even prepared to die in battle.

】

However, tonight's attack rekindled the flame of hope in his heart.

The Eastern Roman Navy, invincible!

However, in the corner of the camp, Wells looked puzzled.

He's been watching this battle ever since it began.

Although the Eastern Roman Navy had been prepared for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army should not be so weak!

Even more surprising, what about ironclads?

Although it was night, the harbor was full of fire, and if the ironclad ship really came, it would be impossible not to see it.

Why didn't the other side dispatch the ironclad ships?

Could it be that he was carried away by successive victories, thinking that the Eastern Roman Empire was a lamb to be slaughtered?

Wrong...... Wrong......

Immediately afterward, Wells approached General Bane and voiced his doubts.

However, General Bain disagreed: "Wells, are you frightened by the Orientals?" Or did not see the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Roman Navy? As long as they are well prepared, the Orientals will not be able to bargain at all, just look, those ships have fled! ”
