Valley Emperor - v2 Chapter 2166
After the battle with the Portuguese, the Datang people began to play steam and steel battleships, and naturally it was even more impossible to fight sailing naval battles with countries such as Portugal or Spain.
Aside from the Tang Empire, no other country has actually fought such a large-scale professional naval battle.
Since the Datang Empire entered Europe, the situation in Europe has been under the control of the Datang Empire, and neither the Spaniards, the Portuguese, nor the English, nor the Dutch have been able to fight.
As for the Tatars, they were blocked by the Tang Dynasty in the early days, and the sea power was scattered and weak, mainly relying on the army to push.
Moreover, the early navies of various countries failed to establish a large-scale professional sailing battleship fleet.
Before the Tang Empire entered Europe, there were actually very few professional warships in the navies of various countries, and most of them were armed merchant ships as the main force in maritime warfare.
Later, Spain, Portugal, England, Tatars, and Ottoman talents followed the early professional sailing warships of the Tang Empire and built their own professional sailing warships.
In the end, they slowly accumulated and perfected their tactics, and finally the naval battle of the Prince Islands Group broke out.
The two sides added up more than 30 professional battleships, of which six battleships were sailing battleships of more than 1,000 tons, and the other battleships were all professional sailing battleships of more than 500 tons.
This kind of maritime power was unimaginable in Europe ten years ago.
Even in the current European waters, there are not many people with this kind of sea power, and in a naval battle, the number of times that so many warships can fight is only once.
Therefore, the naval battle of the Princes Island Group this time has a certain value for the history of maritime warfare in this world. Although it has long been outdated, it can be regarded as a complement to the development law of the world’s naval warfare to some extent.
This made the datang admirals who were watching the battle deeply satisfied.
Although the naval battle between the Tatars and the Ottomans seemed like a child’s play to the officers and soldiers of the frigate Wuding, considering the technical level of their ships and artillery, they were able to fight such a high standard of line. It is not easy to fight in a row, and to a certain extent, it is also valuable for reference.
For example, in the future, if someone describes the era of sailing, at least there will be a historical naval battle for them to refer to, so as to describe the romance of naval warfare in the sailing era.
If the film technology matures in the future, if you want to make a movie about sailing and naval warfare, you can also have reference materials. Otherwise, you can only rely on the screenwriters to develop their own brains.
The officers and soldiers on the frigate Wuding left satisfied after watching an epic naval battle. They had no interest in the subsequent landing of the Tartars and land warfare.
The ground war in Europe, the Empire knows a lot more, this fight is nothing more than the set of line operations that the Empire played decades ago.
Moreover, this time the Tatars were fully prepared, the landing troops had sufficient troops, and the support firepower was also sufficient. Many Tatar ships were directly close to the coastline to provide close fire support for the landing troops.
The defending Ottomans could not stop the attack of the Tatars at all.
It doesn’t make sense to continue watching.
The Wuding frigate returned, and some of the other Tang people’s ships continued to watch the show while acting as supervisors. One of the two sides was dizzy and tried to break into the Datang military restricted area, especially the strait. .
But at this time, whether it is the Tatars or the Ottomans, they are already Datang people who can’t take care of watching the show.
In the early days of the landing, the fighting between the two sides was fierce. The Ottomans fought desperately to try to drive the Tatars, who had insufficient troops at the initial stage of the landing, into the sea. Provide conditions for the landing of three batches and other subsequent landing troops.
But after the fierce battle, the Ottomans were still unable to hold on to it. The 26th Infantry Division of the Tatars, led by Kanerba, took the lead in breaking through the Ottomans’ interception and went directly into the rear of the Ottomans.
In less than three days, the 26th Infantry Division led by Kanerba advanced more than 20 kilometers. In the process, it also surrounded and annihilated more than 5,000 Ottomans, laying the foundation for this Tartar landing operation. Good start.
In the following two weeks, the Tatars and the Ottomans continued to fight, and the Ottomans continued to lose their battles, which further aggravated their internal conflicts.
At the beginning, several great pashas entrenched in the peninsula of Asia Minor were still partially loyal to the generals of the royal family, and they could also unite to resist the Tartars.
But when the Tatars fought and won consecutive victories, their internal contradictions became more intense. After all, the Tatars could not achieve a balanced battle against the troops of every Ottoman force.
It must be that some Pasha’s troops were badly damaged by the Tatars, and some Pasha’s troops were not patronized by the Tatars.
It would be fine if everyone was unlucky together, but I was the only one who was unlucky. In this case, conflicts between these Pashas and other generals broke out.
In the end, all the Ottoman generals surrendered directly to the Tatars in front of the battle, some ran away with their troops, and of course some foolishly stayed where they were.
In just half a month, the Tatars have successfully established themselves in the peninsula of Asia Minor.
And as more and more troops and weapons and ammunition are sent over, the battle is getting smoother and smoother.
What, you say there is no food in the late supply of the Tatars?
Others Tatars will also eat the enemy!
With such a large Asia Minor peninsula, it is easy to feed their mere 100,000 troops.
Tatars and Ottomans fought to death on the Asia Minor peninsula, but strangely, Istanbul is still calm. Relying on the indirect protection of the Tang Dynasty military restricted area, the city has not suffered any wars.
But the people in the city, especially the high-level officials of the Ottoman Kingdom, were in a state of urgency.
Especially the royal family tried to find help from the Datang people every three days, but the Datang people naturally ignored them.
The Tang people have always maintained the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of the natives, and this principle will not be broken because of the Ottomans, nor will it be broken because of the Tatars.
After finding no result in the Tang Dynasty, the Ottoman royal family had to start looking for a way out.
Now the Tatars’ offensive in Asia Minor is very fierce, and they are almost occupying half of the Asia Minor peninsula. If they continue to fight like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before they can take down the entire Asia Minor peninsula, and then enter the Caucasus and other areas. .
This means that the Ottoman Kingdom can actually be declared over!
After Asia Minor and other regions were taken down by the Tatars, if they turned back to attack Istanbul, they would still be unable to stop them.
Even the Tatars don’t need to take the initiative to attack the city~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Lord needs to block the sea passage, which is enough to starve the hundreds of thousands of people in the city that have skyrocketed due to the war!
Under the pessimistic outlook, the Ottoman royal family naturally needs to start looking for a way out.
They soon found Datang people!
They want to use the only things they hold in their hands to find the Tang Dynasty to exchange for a piece of African territory while the Ottoman Kingdom still exists and the Tatars have not yet reached Istanbul.
They want to imitate the Kingdom of Denmark and the Twelve Kingdoms of Central Africa and move to Africa!
To this end, they are going to take out the entire Ottoman kingdom to exchange it with the Tang Dynasty!
Although it is said that most of the Ottoman kingdom has actually fallen into the hands of the Tatars, the rest are after the other Pashas, and have nothing to do with the Ottoman royal family.
But this does not prevent them from making a deal with the Tang Dynasty with the territory of the entire Ottoman Kingdom!
