Chapter 1728: Victory
During this expedition, the biggest variable was to break through the Strait of Gibraltar.
Although there is roughly the data on this sea area, whether the hydrological data is accurate is still unknown. Once you encounter a rocket, it will be bad.
What's more, in order to ensure that it is not noticed, it must be passed at night, and the view at night is even more unclear, which increases the danger.
Zhu Houzhao was very interested in this.
Sometimes Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao and didn't know what this guy was thinking.
The Creator is so great that he can actually design such a slut.
...
Cyprus seas.
When a fast ship of the Invincible Fleet discovered the Ottoman Navy moving forward in the sea, it pulled up its sails and retreated quickly.
On the flagship of the Ottoman Navy, the general squinted his eyes, took his telescope, and kept looking in the direction of the Spanish express.
He took a deep breath and immediately issued an order: "Prepare for combat. This express ship belongs to the Spanish Wang family Navy. Their main fleet must be nearby and they are coming."
"Prepare for the fight..."
Hundreds of ships immediately began to rush.
The Ottoman Navy was once extremely powerful.
However, it was later surpassed by the Spanish. More than ten years ago, even the Portuguese Navy defeated the Ottoman Navy in the Mediterranean.
Since then, Ottoman learned from his mistakes and created a more powerful fleet.
And now... it's finally time for a new round of confrontation.
To the south here is Alexandria, Sinai, and the Matru area. These areas are important nodes for the Ottoman control of North Africa. What's more, the Ottoman Imperial Guards have begun to enter Hungary. Their servants, Wallachia and Moldavia, also sent a large number of knights, and even the Tatars from Crimea, also sent cavalry.
In Zata and other places, that is, West Africa, the vast Spanish army crossed the straits, attacked cities and villages, and no grass grew wherever they passed.
Emperor Suleiman, who personally supervised the battle in Alexandria, greatly boosted his morale.
For this Ottoman Admiral with rich experience, his goal is to lead the Ottoman fleet to fight the Spanish Invincible Fleet here. It is never allowed to make the Ottoman lose its control of the sea. Otherwise, the entire Mediterranean will become the inner lake of Spain.
The personal soldiers on the side stepped forward carefully and whispered: "General, whether to discuss the battle with Yushi Liu before the battle..."
The general raised his head with a disdainful look on his face: "A group of scholars from the East do not know how to fight in the navy? He has been seasick for half a month, and has vomited and diarrhea all day long..."
But the personal soldiers seemed worried. The imperial envoy who came with the ship was appointed by the emperor to supervise the fleet. Although it was seasick, the imperial envoy was prone to furious for any behavior that disrespects him.
But the general had pulled out the scimitar from his waist and made a decisive battle. The personal soldier still retreated obediently and did not dare to continue talking.
At this time...numerous ships bulged their sails.
Countless sailors and sailors shouted trumpets, and a small number of artillery and crossbows on the ship were placed on the deck at this moment.
Two hours later, ship shadows began to appear on the sea level.
The Clippers are still there, they are coming to break through the waves unrestrainedly, as if observing the every move of the Ottoman fleet.
Immediately afterwards...their majestic figures slowly emerged from the sea level.
"King of Carlos is King of Carlos..."
Someone shouted.
The Ottoman Navy is no stranger to this ship.
This was once the most powerful fleet of the Invincible Armada and the main force of the Invincible Armada.
It is like a beast in the sea, and it is said... it has never suffered a defeat.
Once the Carlos King appears, it means that the main force of the Invincible Fleet appears.
The lookout hand holding the telescope immediately shouted: "The Portuguese are the Portuguese..."
The Portuguese are here too...
The general's hand trembled a little. He closed his eyes and squeezed into the character "Sichuan", but then he opened his tiger's eyes and gritted his teeth: "Line!"
The Ottoman Navy did not retreat.
In fact, even if you retreat now, it is too late.
Because Ottoman ships have never been fast enough for the Invincible Fleet. Once they retreat, they will be chased by the other side sooner or later, and eventually they will hit the bottom of the sea one by one.
On the sea, more than 300 huge warships lined up, covering the sky and the sun.
At this moment, the vast ocean was at the bottom of the boat, and it seemed to become awe.
This is almost the largest navy along the entire Mediterranean coast, the invincible fleet mixed with Portugal, and the number of artillery equipped with as many as 3,000 guns, and the number of soldiers is tens of thousands.
In addition to nearly 200 warships, there are also hundreds of other various clutch ships, auxiliary ships and light small ships.
The huge warship took the lead, like mountains, crushing towards the Ottoman navy.
The Ottoman Navy followed.
The two sides approached, and then thousands of cannons were fired together.
The Ottomans only hoped to quickly approach the opponent's warships, because they knew very well that Spain's ships had extremely strong combat capabilities and their artillery was sharper than the Ottomans. If they wanted to win, they would try their best to get close to the enemy ships and rely on close combat.
Countless people were wailing, and then the sails began to roll and flames began to roll.
Once the two ships collided with each other, the soldiers immediately leaned against the hook and locked, and then climbed overwhelmingly to the enemy ship like an ants, fighting each other.
The sound of cannons, gunshots, and countless arrows were like rain in this small sea area.
The Invincible Armada easily broke through the left wing of the Ottoman Navy and then launched rounds of artillery fire.
Countless people fell into the water, and no one could tell where they came from, and what traces had been found in this world.
"Censor Liu fell into the sea, Censor Liu fell into the sea. No, Censor Liu fled in a small boat, fled..."
The Ottoman general, at this moment... had no time to take care of it.
His flagship has become the Spanish target.
At this moment... he realized that the current Spanish and Portuguese, their latest warships, were more powerful than before. He raised his head and saw the overturned Ottoman ships around him, and there was no place to care about the censor and the imperial envoy. His heart... was bleeding. This was the last little property of the Ottoman, and now...
The fierce battle lasted for four hours, from noon to evening.
Under the sunset, the sea was filled with floating corpses, broken boat boards, and half-burned sails.
The sound of shouting and killing became weaker and weaker.
More... just a groan of hurt.
And at this time, King Carlos was on the throne.
Duke Derek, born in Spain's oldest and most prominent Alba family, slowly put down his telescope.
He welcomed the evening breeze, showed a relaxed and pleasant expression, and murmured: "The Ottoman Navy... is indeed vulnerable. From then on, the sea will belong to Spain, from today to forever."
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he was still satisfied with this unsurprising naval battle.
"From then on, the Ottoman that controls North Africa will no longer exist!"
"Now, send the Clippers and return to Spain immediately to inform His Highness of the King of this news."
Chapter completed!
