According to the date agreed with Li Xiao, thirty arsenal ships sailed to the waters near Adana at dawn. Before that, the ironclad ships had cleared out almost all the ships in Adana. Now, there are only a few dilapidated fishing boats in Adana Port.

The water is floating.

The reason why there are still these boats floating is because... Li Xiu felt that it would be a bit disadvantageous to use cannonballs of dozens of silver coins each to blow up a broken fishing boat worth only one or two silver coins.

The arsenal ship has been rarely used since the Western Expedition. The main purpose is to launch the arsenal ship once, which consumes a huge amount of ammunition. It puts a lot of pressure on logistics, and it is not cost-effective to transport a shipload of dangerous rockets over long distances.

More importantly, the Ming Dynasty now has many iron-clad ships. These iron-clad ships have naval guns. These naval guns are powerful and their shooting accuracy is much higher than that of rockets.

Many times, what requires intensive rocket strikes can be accomplished with only one or two rounds of naval guns. Whether economically or efficiently, arsenal ships are destined to be eliminated.

However, the arsenal ship will not be abandoned. When the arsenal ship was built, it had to store a large number of rockets, so it had a large cargo hold. It cannot be used as an arsenal ship. After the rocket launchers are removed, it can be used as a cargo ship.

The dismantled rocket launcher can also be used by the army, which can be said to be put to full use.

The reason why the arsenal ship that has not been used for a long time is used today is to give the Adana defenders enough shock. The explosion will split their livers and gallbladders, and achieve the effect of defeating the enemy in one battle.

That's right, it means defeating the enemy. This battle does not require the complete annihilation of the enemy, but the enemy must be defeated. With the enemy fleeing like crazy, there is no room for tactical coordination or command.

At this time, letting Sultan Tiep's cavalry chase behind them would cause huge damage to the Ottoman army.

If Man Ye was not far away in the Ming Dynasty, his First Cavalry Division would be the best to do this, but the war situation no longer allowed the First Cavalry Division to be transferred all the way over.

The 1st Cavalry Division lost its last chance to continue the glory of the cavalry!

Of course, there are certain risks in the cavalry pursuit. But it is much more comfortable for the Indians to bear this risk. Li Xiao's usual style is to be a bitch and build a memorial arch. He not only takes advantage of others, but also takes advantage of others.

Bleed as little as possible.

If it were not for worries, fighting such battles all year round would reduce the combat capabilities of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, and eventually suffer backlash from surrounding subordinate countries. Li Xiao will definitely carry out the mercenary policy to the end!

The sky was still bright, and the arsenal ships were lined up in a row. When the sky was already bright and the sun had not yet come out, the arsenal ships were ready for launch, and a red firework exploded in the sky.

Countless fire snakes sprang out from the hull of the arsenal ship, dragging their long tail flames towards Adana.

The defenders of Adana watched in horror as something like a meteor hit them. They didn’t know what it was or what it meant.

But this does not delay them from feeling fear? That deep fear of death.

Li Xiu held up the telescope. This kind of scene of large-scale rocket launchers may be hard to see in the future. He only saw the first wave of rocket explosions and gorgeous orange flowers blooming one after another.

You can even see? At the moment of the explosion, rocks? Or maybe people were blown up.

After that, Adana was shrouded in smoke. Occasionally, orange flames could be seen steaming up, but most of the time, the explosion flames were obscured by the smoke, and nothing could be seen clearly.

The characteristic of rocket launchers is that a large number of rockets will be launched in a very short period of time. It only takes about five minutes? The first wave of launches has been completed, and the arsenal ship has begun to turn.

Twenty minutes later, only half of the sun showed its head. In the golden sunshine, the arsenal ship completed its turn, and the rocket launcher once again sounded "woo" and "woo".

A bunch of rockets? They hit Adana, where the smoke had not yet cleared.

This time, the destruction of the rockets was actually more deadly. How many citizens of Adana? And the Ottoman army was in panic. Some troops were preparing to enter the position, and some troops were helping to rescue refugees on the streets. There were even more unknown people.

Confused in the streets? Like zombies wandering around.

Rockets fell directly from the sky without warning. A huge explosion? People around the explosion point were directly vaporized. People on the street? All people exposed to the Rising Sun Valley were swallowed up by the flames falling from the sky? Corpses and bones

No existence.

When the explosion started, Kuopulu had just ran into his headquarters. The Ming army had never carried out such a violent bombardment these days, which meant that the Ming army was about to launch an attack.

Before the General could issue the first order, a huge explosion sounded in the street. Kuopulu was dragged by his attendants and ran into the basement.

The ground seemed to be hit by the heavy hammer of the true God, one after another. Everyone felt that their chests were tight, and wisps of dust were constantly being shaken off. A rocket was falling in the courtyard of the headquarters.

The attendant who was leaning against the wall was shocked and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Kuopulu was sprayed with blood all over his face: "Don't lean your back against the wall!"

Kuopulu shouted anxiously. At this time, his heart was really cold. He had never heard of such violent artillery fire, not to mention that he had never seen it before.

How did the Ming Dynasty fight? Could it be that this is how they fought with the Indians?

The person was hiding in the basement and was still so shocked that he vomited blood. What would happen to the people outside and what would happen to the dense crowd on the street? Kuopulu couldn't even think about it.

The Ottoman Empire's army had never suffered such artillery fire, and of course they had no experience in avoiding artillery fire. Many people were so frightened that they lay on the ground, thinking that they could avoid the flying shrapnel.

It's a pity that few such people are alive. The rocket hit the ground, and the huge tremor directly shattered their internal organs. Some even had all their ribs broken, and a good person was turned into a human-shaped ball of flesh.

Rockets attack everywhere indiscriminately. In fact, rockets are not very accurate. After being launched, the launcher himself does not know where the exact landing point will be.

Anyway, the heavy-duty rocket weighs two hundred kilograms and is powerful enough. Even if it doesn't kill you, kid, it will definitely not be a problem to shock you to death.

After the rapid launch, the arsenal ship turned again.

The street returned to calm, in fact, it was as quiet as death. Everyone's eardrums were deafened, and no one could hear the sound. Even their own wails could not be heard. The rising sun shone on this silent world.

Scattered people, broken bricks, and all kinds of things kept falling from the sky. When Kuopulu walked out of the basement, he saw a few remaining ribs and half a set of dentures connected to the tongue.

There was no one on the street anymore, and occasionally there was a dark, human-like thing crawling on the ground.

There are fires everywhere, dark things everywhere, dilapidated houses everywhere, and traces of destruction everywhere.

Oh my God! This is simply the scene of the end of the world. The smoke has blocked the sun, and Kuopulu is standing in the ruins. He feels that this is the end of the world!

Could it be said that the Ming people are true gods?

Wandering in this apocalyptic place, Kopurulu felt that his soul had been separated from his body. His body was stiff and he could not speak a word.

"Stop shooting at the arsenal ship and save some shells." Li Xiu put down his telescope. The pitifully crude positions on the beach had been completely destroyed.

Li Xiu didn't even see a moving soldier in his telescope. An army that didn't dig bombproof holes would have no chance of surviving under such bombardment.

"The landing begins!" Following Li Xiu's command, two red fireworks exploded in the sky.

Dozens of small boats carrying Marine commandos began to attack the Adana beachhead.

The commandos got off the boat and boarded the beach. They were nervous at first. But after a few minutes, they were no longer nervous.

Looking around, there was no living person in sight. There were even birds and mice that were shocked to death on the ground. I searched for a while with my Aka rifle. Then I marched towards Adana Port!

The Port of Adana is the only place that has not been bombarded. The port is still useful and cannot be bombed.

As the Marines approached the port, they began to see alive Ottoman soldiers.

These people are riding horses and holding bows and arrows in their hands. Some are wearing chain mail, and some are wearing chain mail. People wearing chain mail usually have bows and arrows in their hands, and those wearing chain mail have spears and hammers in their hands.

.

They galloped, howled, and rushed towards the Ming army infantry wearing steel helmets and camouflage uniforms.

If they were defeated by these people, the Marines might as well commit suicide.

Kneeling down with the Aka rifle in hand and shooting, the accuracy of the Aka rifle is astonishing at a distance of 100 meters.

One by one, with precise shots, the guys on horseback fell off their horses. Soon, the sound of tearing linen cloth was heard.

If the Aka rifle can be considered a point-kill weapon, this thing is an area-kill weapon. The high rate of fire brings high lethality, and the flame at the muzzle sprays out bullets like raindrops in an instant.

Some of these bullets hit people, and some hit horses. The 7.92mm machine gun bullets can cause huge damage to both people and horses.

The scorching hot bullets tore apart muscles, broke bones, and rolled continuously inside the human body. Finally, they drilled out of the back with a large pile of muscle and bone fragments. There was really a hole in the front and a crater in the back.

The muscles of a running war horse are as hard as stones. However, this is ineffective against bullets. The bullets can still easily cut through the muscles, and the naked eye can see blood flying in the air.

The war horse will run a few steps with the help of inertia, and the body will quickly enter a state of exhaustion. The war horse with sore hooves fell to the ground and whined, and the knight on the horse was violently thrown out. Even if he did not die, he would still be seriously injured.

The two hundred cavalrymen did not last more than three minutes before they turned into corpses on the ground. No one was spared, and no horses were spared. They all turned into a pile of meat lying on the ground, waiting for crows, foxes, wolves, and mice.

, even ants come to eat it.

The commandos moved forward quickly with guns in hand, and shot at anyone who was moving on the road. No one thought it was cruel, and most people felt that they were doing a good thing. Rather than letting them die in pain, it was better to give them a happy death.

They had just rushed out 100 meters, and were still more than 200 meters away from the port. Suddenly bullets were fired from the port, and several commandos were hit and fell to the ground screaming in pain.

The commandos quickly fell down, and the general-purpose machine gun began to fire. The captain loudly shouted to the mortar squad behind to follow them!

Under the continuous bursts of machine gun fire, the other side dared not show its head at all. Tracer bullets kept indicating the position of the gunners. The soldiers of the mortar squad set up the mortars panting. After the gunners took aim, a mortar shell was thrown into the barrel.

in!

"Boom!" The voice was not loud, and a puff of smoke came out of the muzzle.

The gunner stared nervously at the explosion point with his telescope, and then a plume of smoke rose into the sky and fell on the gunman. Through the telescope, he could see that half of the gunman's body was blown away.

Under the cover of machine guns and mortars, the infantrymen crawled forward. They formed a group of three and jumped forward each other. One person advanced, and the two people behind fired to cover.

The Aka rifle with a thirty-round magazine provided very good continuity of firepower. Those guys on the opposite side who were still using muzzle-loading guns were so heavy with bullets that they couldn't even lift their heads.

Even if someone risked his life to shoot, facing the commandos jumping forward one after another, he didn't know which one to shoot. After a moment's hesitation, the man was already lying on the ground. Another man jumped up behind him, and as soon as the gun was aimed, that man

He fell down again. This time the person who jumped up and ran forward was another person a few meters away!

After hesitating twice, he realized that he had been exposed for too long.

A machine gun bullet hit his head accurately, the skull was blown away, and the red and white brains spilled several meters away.

Anyone hiding behind a bunker is not safe either. As long as he fires a shot, he will be stared at by a machine gun. Then the roaring mortar shells will hit him. After an explosion, countless small shrapnel will scatter in all directions.

Even though the shrapnel is small, it is really painful when it hits your body. If you are hit by more than a dozen shrapnel, you are out of luck. Even if you don't die on the spot, you will bleed to death.

The commandos covered each other and advanced to a distance of about thirty meters. They took out grenades and threw them with all their strength using the force of their forward thrust.

Although the explosive power is not as powerful as a mortar, it is enough to deal with infantry. The Ottoman Guards Musketeers are protected by armor. But the armor cannot protect their heads, and some unlucky guys have shrapnel shot into their eyes.

The guy was so hurt that he lost his mind and screamed loudly. As soon as he ran up, he was hit by more than a dozen bullets.

The infantry took turns covering the advance, and it took less than half an hour to clear away the remaining Ottoman soldiers in the port.

Two green fireworks exploded into the air, and a two-thousand-ton small cargo ship immediately came over. Behind it was the Superyuan ironclad. The black muzzle pointed at the shore. As long as a suspicious target was found, shells would be fired immediately.

destroy.
