Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 303 Successive Victories
It wasn't until this time that Li Mu remembered about the explosion.

The craftsmanship of the cannons cast in ancient times is not up to standard. These cannons are used almost every day these days, and the metal has long been tired.

It seems that this time, a cannon exploded, and then caused a martyrdom explosion, and it happened that these heavy cannons gathered together again, almost letting them take care of themselves.

Thinking about it, the Ottoman Sultan might be so angry that he wanted to jump.

Without hesitation, Li Mu ordered the soldiers to repair the collapsed city wall, filled it with a large number of stones and wood, and quickly restored this section of the city wall.

Ottoman's attack was also put on hold because of this explosion, and the sergeants in Constantinople all poked their heads out to watch the panic scene on Ottoman's side.

At this moment, everyone is quite happy.

At least that was the end of a vicious battle.

Li Mu also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. This time the cannon was damaged, and Osman would have to spend a lot of effort if he wanted to organize a new attack.

After all, these days, their tunneling and ladders have failed under the defense of Constantinople. It is obviously not an easy task to break through this wide city wall.

But before Li Mu had a rest, another soldier came to report that five ships appeared in the Bosporus Strait, four Genoese ships and one Byzantine ship.

Loaded with supplies from Constantinople, they were now preparing to attack the Ottoman navy.

But now there are nearly [-] Ottoman warships of different sizes in the Bosporus Strait. Whether the five ships can pass through the opponent's blockade and enter the Golden Horn is a bit too disparate.

Li Mu was also heading towards the city wall of the Golden Horn Bay. Along the way, the soldiers gradually became aware of the situation on the sea in the distance, but their expressions seemed to be a little more stable.

After all, the Byzantine warships played with Ottoman's warships on the sea before. The Ottoman warships were just a group of landlubbers, and they never even had the power to fight on the sea.

When Li Mu arrived at the watchtower in the Golden Horn Bay, there were sailboats all over the sea in the distance, and there were white sails everywhere, densely crowded the waters.

A group of soldiers from Constantinople also stretched their heads and looked out. When they saw Li Mu's arrival, they quickly averted their eyes.

"What's going on now?" Li Mu asked, and one of the officers stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, those five ships have already begun to attack the Ottoman fleet. Those Ottoman ships are numerous and mixed, and they may not be able to attack our ships."

"I just hope they won't block the channel, and our ship won't be able to get in by then."

Li Mu heard and nodded, and immediately looked towards the distant sea.

I could only see a few sailboats heading towards Constantinople on the sea in the distance.

Their positions are very conspicuous because when they passed through the strait, the Ottoman warships that rushed up were pushed away before they were connected to the board, and five sailboats were driving straight in.

After traveling for a certain distance, those Ottoman warships seemed to be really anxious, and immediately launched an impact on the five sailing ships from all directions regardless of their care.

But in this way, the entire sea area seemed to be churning, and many small boats capsized on the sea.

On the surface of the sea, the five sailboats were gradually threatened by Ottoman. Although Li Mu couldn't see clearly, he could still see the crowds on the sailboats, and the boarding battle had obviously begun.

The Ottoman army wanted to block the five ships deeply with their powerful navy.

Seeing that the ship full of cargo was already moving slowly, and looked quite dangerous at the moment, Li Mu turned his head and said to the officer next to him.

"Let our warships dispatch, and then put down the chains, and help them come in with all our strength."

"Your Majesty, put down the chain so early, if those Ottoman warships see it, then..." the officer next to him heard Li Mu say this, and said with a panicked expression.

Li Mu waved his hand.

"Didn't you see that the Ottoman warships basically turned their backs to us? Even if they saw them, they had to turn around. Such a narrow strait would only make them mess up themselves."

Hearing what Li Mu said, the officer no longer struggled, and immediately ordered the remaining warships in the fort to sail to help in the battle.

And the iron chains at the narrow part of the strait also began to be lowered slowly, and at this moment, the five ships stood and broke forward little by little.

The city was already full of soldiers, they were all looking at the situation outside, and they were cursing Ottoman's fleet loudly at the moment.

Li Mu stared intently at the distance, only to see that the slenderest sailboat among the five sailboats was the first to break through the siege of the Ottoman fleet, but it did not immediately head towards the Golden Horn Bay.

Instead it made a sharp turn and then relied on the huge ram angle.Pushing away the nearby Ottoman warships opened the way for the four Genoese sailing ships.

At the same time, several Constantinople battleships heading for reinforcements had also arrived on the battlefield. They were only cruising at the very edge, harassing these Ottoman warships, while helping several sailboats out of trouble.

After a chaotic battle, at some point a raging fire broke out on the Ottoman warship, and several sailing ships also took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of each other's entanglements, and were now heading towards the Golden Horn at full speed.

The soldiers watching all this on the city wall cheered, and the people in the whole city also cheered.

It can be said that Constantinople let out a sigh of relief today. First, the Ottoman cannon exploded to block the attack, and now five sailboats fought against [-] sailboats and entered the port smoothly. Such an elated scene, Constantinople The soldiers and civilians in Dingbao can be said to be very relieved.

Only the Ottomans jumped anxiously.

Li Mu could even see from a distance on the coast on one side of the Bosphorus, several elegant and noble people riding horses and rushing into the water, and they were furious and impotent at the moment.

Seeing such a scene, the surrounding soldiers' opinion of Li Mu has also improved. At least they saw that under the leadership of Li Mu, Constantinople won another victory.

This greatly enhanced the self-confidence of the military and civilians.

At this moment they are very confident that they can hold Constantinople.

On this day, Ottoman completely died down, planning to fight again, while Constantinople fell into carnival, and everyone was celebrating such a rare victory.

Li Mu was also having a banquet with guests in the main hall, but after three drinks, Li Mu came to the city wall to inspect.

The soldiers finally had a good night's sleep today, but Li Mu felt a little uneasy.

Because in their own memory, the Ottoman Sultans would not let Constantinople go so easily. On the contrary, they hated Constantinople because of such things.

In this way, the two sides must be in an endless situation.

It is not a simple slogan for Li Mu to defend Constantinople. It is a difficult task and a goal that requires a thousand times of effort to achieve.

Now that Constantinople is only slightly better, what else does Li Mu have to do to win this battle?

Li Mu himself didn't know.

Although the Ottoman cannons suffered heavy losses, this does not mean that the Ottomans broke their weapons.

Their sultan was a bloodthirsty beast, an ambitious monarch.
