Colonel Chen talked about the gains and losses of the two sides: "In this battle, we first used 36 battleships, then 30 cruise ships and 70 eighth-class ships participated in the battle. Our side won a great victory and achieved the sinking of seven enemy battleships and 20 battleships. The results of five cruise ships and 81 small battleships of various types are estimated to have wiped out more than 18,000 enemies. They captured two cruise ships and three Grand Calais paddle boats, and captured more than 100 people. The captive confessed that there was a Pasha on the flagship, and we killed him!"

"As for our losses, we have two battleships that have lost their combat capabilities..." Colonel Chen looked at his words and made a downplay of authenticity, and would never open a pot without lifting a pot.

I didn’t see the main general Yan Donglai grimacing there, the western admiral who caused the trouble was acting as a fool, and the lieutenant general Xiao was stupid, strong and weak, at a glance, Colonel Chen could not offend the western admiral, the western admiral and Yan What was the matter with the general? They were fighting with gods. How could his little colonel be able to participate?

Of course, Admiral Yan is the main general. If he is strong, Colonel Chen will naturally do what he wants. But now that Admiral Yan is all wilted, Colonel Chen dare not put a fart. He continued: "The rest of the battleships are different. There was battle damage, but except for the three more difficult to repair, all the warships are under repair, and there is no problem going into battle again!"

The strength of the Southeast Fleet is fully demonstrated. There are skilled repair craftsmen and sufficient spare parts information to repair damaged warships as soon as possible, which is very beneficial to future battles.

"We killed one hundred and six people in the battle and injured less than a thousand. The highest rank of sacrifice was a captain!" Colonel Chen then talked about the handling of the wounded, the use of arms and supplies, and the various The military service statistics of the ship and so on.

During the naval battle, the Southeast Army killed fewer people. The main reason was that the guns were weak at that time. The firepower of the Baotou Man was far less than that of the Southeast Army. The artillery of the Southeast Army fired one shell per minute, and the gun speed of the Baotou Man was three to four minutes. Fire a cannonball, although there are white mercenaries

They were able to shoot one shell in two to three minutes, but they were quickly suppressed and they were completely defeated in the artillery battle.

It's not so easy to play if it is replaced by another old brand of white-skin fleet.

In addition, the Southeast Army's armor is strong, universal, and medical strength is excellent, so it has an astonishing rate of death and injury with the enemy.

In particular, the role of medical and nursing forces is huge. In ancient times, due to the underdevelopment of medicine, it goes without saying that the defeated party would even have more people who died after being injured than those who died directly in battle. Such things are not uncommon!

The other armies lacked everything, lacked medicines and medicines. When it comes to fleets of various countries, in the sailing era, everyone got on the ship with a shroud, and the proportion of deaths from illness was higher than that from war.

Only the two Chinese armies attach great importance to the role of battlefield hospitals, and even expressly stipulate that the priority of the retreat is the wounded, medical staff, and staff officers. The medical staff are highly respected, and at the same time they have a large amount of medicines and pay attention to hygiene. Saved the lives of a large number of wounded.

After Colonel Chen finished speaking, Yan Donglai smiled, clapped his hands to congratulate, and concluded: "My side will win!"

Siresma and Xiao Changrong were equally happy. The three happily celebrated with tea instead of wine.

Then Yan Donglai asked the two for their opinions: "For the five damaged battleships, my opinion is to send eight cruisers and **** them back to Egypt for repairs. They don't have to go into battle. What do you think?"

Xiao Changrong didn't say anything for the time being, and Siresma said straightforwardly: "Yes, don't rush for a while, it will be more advantageous for future battles. I will be in charge of the returning fleet!"

"Oh, Admiral West, aren't you going to fight Cyprus?" Yan Donglai asked in surprise.

Siresma said: "The battle is endless. The battleship I command is damaged. I have to go back and plead with you!"

Don’t look at him wrangling with Yan Donglai, but he also knows that the second-tier battleships are not trivial. They are defined as the “heavy weapon of the country” today. There are only twelve ships, and each one is precious. He must go back and plead for sin. Put on the attitude you deserve.

He knows how to do so, Yan Donglai and Xiao Changrong are happy to see it. The three, Colonel Chen and three staff members, worked together to produce a victory report, which was brought back by Siresma. As for Yan Xiao, Then led the army to attack everywhere in Cyprus.

If this key island can be captured, the Anatolian peninsula or Asia Minor peninsula that can attack Baotou’s Longxing is near, and the far away will enter the Bosphorus Strait and take the Ottoman capital, Istanbul. !

Achieve the supreme cause!

So Siresma gave up the attack on Cyprus by himself.

...

The vicissitudes of the old city of Fatagusta ushered in new conquerors, it depends on how the war between the conquerors and the defender is fought, in front of the predecessors, can not be too ugly!

Famagusta is an important coastal city in Cyprus and the outpost at the easternmost point of Venice. Famagusta is a city built on sand with soft soil.

Before the arrival of the Ottomans, it was occupied by the Venetians. Since the Middle Ages, there have been some European countries and powers that are not prestigious in later generations. For example, Dabo-Bo is the hegemony of Eastern Europe, while Sweden is a small country. It is a Nordic hegemon, not to mention the Ottoman Empire, the whip of God. As for Venice, it is one of the hegemons of the Mediterranean.

The Venetians controlled the island of Cyprus and occupied the important town of Famagusta. There were 8,000 defenders in the city, and a large number of fortifications were built here. The outer circumference of the city wall is 2 miles long and has a diamond-shaped structure.

The city of Famagusta has 5 gates, 15 bastions, and deep trenches. The walls are more than 15 meters high and 5 meters thick.

At the end of September 1570, the Ottoman Empire General Lala Mustafa led an army of 80,000 troops to attack the city of Famagusta. Later, the troops increased to 100,000. They shelled Famagusta and consumed 150,000 rounds of the Empire. Ottoman soldiers suffered as many as 60,000 casualties, and this took the city of Famagusta.

The defense of Famagusta is now better than that of the Venetians. The city walls are more than 15 meters high and 8 meters thick.

The original city defense was very strong, but it was further strengthened later.

On the wall of this strong city, the former captain of the Ottoman navy "Imperial Wall" battleship Dia Aydin ~lightnovelpub.net~ now the supreme commander of the city defense of Famagusta, Dia Aydin from Observing enemy battleships in the open sea through the telescope, he couldn't help but feel the impermanence of life!

The battleship "Imperial City Wall" had to withdraw from the formation due to wind and waves damage and returned to Famagusta for repairs.

At that time, he was self-satisfied and hated why this battleship was so different and bad. One day later, he had to thank his dear battleship for saving his life.

If he participates in the war, he will definitely die, because according to the news coming back one after another, the Chinese have killed all the battleships of the Ottomans and burned them, leaving no residue.

Famagusta City’s original defense will have a higher status than Diaedin. He did not expect that he and several high-ranking generals would sail with the fleet and would not be able to return. .

Diaedin suddenly became the highest-ranking officer in Famagusta, and he was in charge of the defense of Famagusta.

He secretly made up his mind: "Come on, you heretics, the Venetians can keep it for 68 days, I keep it for three months, so that you will never return!"
