The Ottoman fleet, which had been burning for an hour, finally sank to the bottom of the sea, but the Russian Empire's bombardment of Sinop port did not stop.

Under the fierce firepower of the Russian Empire, anyone who dared to go to the battery to counterattack the ships was blown to shreds, and the morale of the Ottoman Empire also showed a visible drop in the shelling one after another.

Two hours after the start of the battle, the area around the fort was already full of severed arms and stumps, and the excrement in the large intestine was mixed with the amount of brains and blood, emitting a foul smell.

At this time, the Sinop Port Fort was like a purgatory on earth, and no Ottoman soldier dared to march towards the fort again.

Trepidation was written on each soldier's face, and fear forced the group to run towards the residential area.

The garrison commander in charge of guarding Sinop Harbor could only watch his soldiers run like headless flies, and now he had no way to command any team.

Even the Warlords who belonged to him now ran with the majority of the chaos.

Fortunately, the shelling ended after a quarter of an hour, and under the watchful eye of the remnants of the Ottoman sailors, speedboats were lowered from the ships to the surface.

Each speedboat carried five sailors with rifles on their backs and one person in charge of the boat.

More than 200 dinghys approached the pier of Sinop Harbor, and the sailors around the pier knew the intention of the Imperial Russian Navy, but none of them dared to shoot.

The previous two hours and fifteen minutes of non-stop shelling had frightened the Ottomans, who were like lambs waiting for the judgment of the Russian Empire.

When the first batch of speedboats arrived at the docks of Sinop, a Russian officer appeared in front of the Ottoman rout, and he skillfully used Turkic to ask the emboldened Ottoman soldiers: "My name is Andrei. Borkunsky, Major of the Russian Empire! Which of you is the commander here! ”

The Ottoman soldiers present looked at each other, and no one responded to Andrei. Borconsky.

Seeing that the Ottoman soldiers did not respond, Andrei. Borconsky could only ask again, and this time his tone was not as polite as the first time, and he directly threatened: "I ask again, which of you is the commander here!" You don't have to answer my question, and when we find him, you'll have to bear the consequences! ”

Andre. Borconsky's threats apparently worked, and the Ottoman soldiers, fearing reprisals from the Russian Empire, whispered to Andrei. Borconsky said that just after the commander of the garrison stationed at the port of Sinop absconded into the residential area of the port of Sinop.

"Absconding?" Andre. The corner of Borconsky's mouth sneered, he believed that this group of people would not be hiding for long.

The warships in Sinop have been completely wiped out by them, and the morale of the entire port has completely fallen to the bottom, and all the military forces of the Ottoman Empire are concentrated in the Danube region and the Caucasus.

Now they're more than capable of dealing with this bunch of guys.

Thinking of this, Andrey. Borconsky immediately gave an order to the soldiers around him: "Take it down and keep a good watch!" ”

Five Imperial Russian soldiers armed with rifles took more than 20 Ottoman soldiers into custody, and these 20 or so Ottoman soldiers did not resist the whole time.

In a situation of extreme fear, people lose all courage to resist.

Especially when the aggressor did not massacre wantonly in the first place.

Andrei who watched the Ottoman soldiers leave. Borconsky called another bannerman, "Tell Governor Menshikov that the target has fled!" ”

The Bannerman nodded, trotted to the dock and waved the flag in his hand.

Menshikov, who was standing on the sail battleship, saw the message of the flag soldier through the lookout glass, turned to Vice Admiral Kornilov behind him and said: "Get off the ship!" I'd like to see if they can run and get it. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, you still don't have to!" Kornilov frowned slightly and proposed to Prince Menshikov: "There are still routs in the port, and I am afraid it will be dangerous to rush there!" ”

"What are you afraid of!" Menshikov waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Since I joined the army, I have participated in hundreds of large and small wars, and no matter how dangerous the situation, I have encountered it, are you still afraid of this small scene?" ”

Seeing that he could not be dissuaded, Kornilov could only agree to Menshikov's request to disembark, and a speedboat carrying Menshikov and Kornilov was lowered to the sea, and the speedboat boarded the dock of Sinop Harbor along with the surrounding dinghy.

By the time Menshikov and Kornilov arrived at the docks, more than 2,000 sailors had completely landed in Sinop Harbor, where they took control of the docks and harbor batteries.

Then, on the orders of Menshikov, an advance towards the port residential area began.

As time passed, one after another Ottoman soldiers who were hiding in residential areas were arrested, and some of the soldiers who had regained their morale tried to resist, causing some damage to the Russian Imperial Army, but the vast majority of soldiers did not resist and surrendered on the spot.

After searching the residential area for nearly four hours, the Russian Imperial Army finally found the commander of the Sinop garrison in a civilian house.

The commander of the garrison curled up and looked at the Russian soldiers in horror, and he shouted loudly in Russian that he was the commander of the garrison and should be treated as a noble prisoner of war.

The two Russian soldiers laughed when they saw the commander of the garrison look so embarrassed.

In this way, the commander of the garrison of Sinop was caught in front of Menshikov.

"You're the defender here? It doesn't look good, does it? Menshikov looked up and down at the trembling commander of the garrison in front of him, and said contemptuously.

"Yes, yes, yes! We are not at all a match for the great Russian Empire! I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to surrender! Seeing this, the commander of the garrison hurriedly begged Menshikov in Russian for mercy.

Menshikov looked contemptuously at the cowardly garrison commander in front of him, and scolded the face of the Ottoman ancestors, all of which he lost.

In the face of Menshikov's scolding, the garrison commander shamelessly claimed that the defeat of the Ottoman Empire by the Russian Empire was God's will, and he had to obey God's will.

"Get out!" Menshikov waved his hand in disgust and ordered the soldiers to take the garrison commander down.

Two Russians stood behind the commander of the garrison, one on the left and one on the right, and the commander of the garrison left without resistance.

When the garrison commander was about to leave, Menshikov's voice appeared in the ears of the garrison commander: "Wait! ”

The commander of the garrison hurriedly stopped, smiled flatteringly, and asked Menshikov what else he needed to do.

Menshikov asked the garrison commander where the commander of the fleet was now, and the garrison commander shook his head and responded to Menshikov that he had lost the shadow of Osman Pasha since an hour ago.

"Phew! Another coward! Menshikov spat and rubbed his leather boots twice on the ground to show his displeasure.

"Your Excellency, can I go!" The repulsive voice of the garrison commander was heard again.

"Get out! ! Menshikov stretched out his hand and ordered the commander of the garrison to leave.

Time passed, and soon it was evening, and nearly 2,000 Ottoman soldiers were captured under the non-stop capture of more than 3,000 Russian Imperial Navy.

Speedboats loaded with prisoners of war began to move in the direction of the fleet, and they were to send all these prisoners of war to Odessa, where the prisoners of war were to be exhibited to show the might of the Russian Empire, and it was also an effective demoralizer on the Ottoman side.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, when the last prisoners of war had been transported onto the ship, Menshikov gave the order to completely destroy the battery.

The batteries scattered in the port of Sinop were blown up by Russian soldiers, and the sound of explosions resounded throughout Sinop.

When all the batteries had been destroyed, Menshikov nodded in satisfaction and gave the order to all the soldiers to board the ship.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, under the stars, the last soldiers boarded the Russian Imperial Fleet.

Menshikov, standing at the bow of the sail battleship, gave the order to the ships to leave, and a mighty fleet left from the port of Sinop.

At this point, the naval battle that took place in the port of Sinop ended completely.

During the entire battle, Menshikov's double-deck warship annihilated ninety percent of the Ottoman navy.

In total, nearly 2,000 Ottoman sailors were annihilated and more than 2,000 imperial soldiers were captured.

For the Russian Empire, the results of this battle were quite fruitful.

Every sailor on board cast a look of great adoration at Menshikov.

And Kornilov, who was standing next to Menshikov, also said to Menshikov deferentially: "Your Excellency, the current Ottoman Navy is no longer capable of competing with us!" You have fulfilled your promise to Your Majesty! ”

"yes!" Looking at the dark night scene in the distance, Menshikov took a long breath and showed a relieved smile: "We can finally relax a little!" ”

Then Menshikov sighed again and said: "It's a pity that I didn't capture the commander of this fleet!" ”

Seeing this, Kornilov hurriedly comforted Menshikov and asked him not to take such a small problem to heart.

Not long after Menshikov and the others left Sinop, Osman Pasha, who was missed by Menshikov, appeared in Sinop Harbor.

Looking at the empty harbor in front of him, which was as empty as a ghost prison, Osman Pasha's eyes widened, and he was once again paralyzed on the ground, and his mouth did not listen: "I am sorry Your Majesty! Sorry Generalissimo Mahmood! ”

After a while, with a dull flintlock pistol sound, Osman Pasha fell heavily to the ground.
