Chapter 440: Natalia
"The infidels have so many firearms that the little ones don't dare to get too close." The commander explained, adding, "But the wall has been repaired, and there are stones underneath. Even if the infidels had the intention to hollow out the foundations of the city, it would not be possible to do it for a while. ”。
"No! Let me find out again! The infidels are scheming, and it is certainly not as simple as hollowing out the foundations of the city. Egnaqi walked to the corner. Looking at the cathars who were busy digging the foundation of the city, he said with a calm face.
It is also this section of the wall that is at a right angle of 90 degrees. And among the four sections of the city wall, it is the lowest position. When the city was not greatly expanded, it was a swamp near a river. Today, water has been pumped and landfilled, and a solid foundation has been built. Later, however, a moat was diverted, and the foundations of the city were constantly washed away by the river.
Now the water of the moat has been drained, so the foundations of the city at the bottom of the river are completely exposed. And because of the erosion underneath, the further down you go, the more serious the hollowing out of the city foundation becomes. Therefore, the entire city base presents an inverted three-character corner.
The cathars were hiding underneath and digging, and the defenders at the head of the city really couldn't do anything about them. However, the defenders were confident in the fortification of the foundations, and therefore did not feel that the cathars could easily hollow out the foundations and collapse the walls.
So after the siege began, the fighting here was the calmest. Had it not been for the arrival of Egnazi, the defenders would not have even the most basic resistance.
"But the infidel firearms are so powerful, how many we go, how many will we have to die!" , the commander said with a sad face. He had led the defenders to investigate, but before he could get closer, he was forced back by the firearms battalion of the cathars.
The fireworks that exploded with a bang were like arrows from Lixuan, making it impossible for people to dodge. And because white phosphorus powder is added to the fireworks, the fireworks are more flammable. the more lethal it causes, the greater the damage. The commander saw several soldiers set fire to death with their whole bodies burned. That terrifying scene makes him feel chilled when he thinks about it now.
But Egnazi clearly would not accept such a reason. Immediately kicked the Commander! The force hit the chest again. Suddenly, the commander couldn't breathe in his breath.
"Useless stuff! If the city is broken, the Governor will surely cut you. ", Egnaqi said with a fierce face.
"Yes, yes, yes! The villain is guilty! The commander knew what was wrong, and he didn't dare to argue, so he quickly pleaded guilty.
"Get out of town yet!" , Egnaqi looked at it coldly and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes! This is out of town! This is out of town! With that, he slipped out of the city.
Egnazi didn't stay long, and hurried to inspect the other city walls.
While there were many battles outside the city, the city was unusually quiet. However, after the siege of the cathar army began, in order to avoid chaos in the rear, a curfew was implemented in the city as soon as possible. Some businessmen who are still trading have also had to close their doors. Those ordinary people who came out to buy vegetables and eat also returned home at a very fast pace.
Therefore, in the streets and alleys of the city, except for the defenders who are constantly patrolling, there are no ordinary people walking at will.
But at this moment, a luxurious carriage was gurgling down the Sindh Street in the city of Rahuo'er. This is the main road of the city of Rahuoer, starting from the Governor's Palace, connecting to the Gate of Communication. Although it is not as neat and straight as Malu City, the width is no worse than that of Malu.
In the end, it is the old capital of the Ge Jianing Dynasty, so in terms of infrastructure, it still has the style of the capital of a country. Due to the fine weather in recent days, the ground of the loess is somewhat dry. The car drove by, and immediately brought up a cloud of dust.
When the patrolling defenders saw the carriage, they wanted to step forward to stop it. But after seeing the flag with a green background and a white heart on the Governor's Mansion hanging on it, he cautiously retreated. So in the curfew-free city of Rakhu'er, this carriage is extremely eye-catching.
Inside the carriage at the moment, Hu Meima lifted half of the curtain and couldn't help but sigh: "This pagan attack is so terrifying, it is really terrifying. ”。
Ekava sat on the sidelines, and said worriedly: "This heretic has been attacking the city since Khorasan and is invincible. This Huo'er City is also precarious! ”。
"Huh?! I heard that the rules of this pagan are very strange. We believers are not allowed to believe in the true God, but to convert to their fallacies of Naraushzi. If you don't comply, you will be worried about your life. If the city of Rakhu'er is really not safe, then ma'am, what should we do? The more Hu Meima spoke, the more panicked and frightened his face became. Apparently frightened by himself.
It is also the rumor that there has never been less about the cathar army in the city. It's just that Egnaqi's strict blockade has made a lot of news hearsay. The information that Hu Meima heard from others was not comprehensive. Therefore, I don't know that the sect of the cathars actually believes in the true God.
Ekava came out of the Ministry of Affairs, and naturally knew much more about Puritanism than ordinary people. After all, many times, the spies in the Department of Affairs are part-time missionaries.
He lifted the curtain of the car nearby, looked at the Natalia leather store not far from the city wall, and said loudly: "The heretics do not allow us to believe in the true God, but they do not allow us to believe in the current sect. In addition, the pagans have a name, called Puritanism. ”。
"Ahh How did Madame know this? Hu Meima lowered the curtain and asked in surprise.
Ekava looked relieved and explained, "The Natalia Leather Goods Store has most of the goods in Khorasan. I go shopping a lot, and I've heard a few of them. It's just more reliable than your hearsay. ”。
When Hu Meima heard this, he knew it. Because Natalia is the most famous and largest trading house in the Sultan of Delhi. Not only is there a complete range of goods, but you can also get a lot of novelty goods that can only be made in Khorasan. Like soap full of fragrance, incense to repel mosquitoes, relieve heat and pain, and cure all insect bites.
What's more, Natalia, the founder of Natalia Leather Goods Store, is still a good friend of the Sultan. Although he did not enter the palace to serve the Sultan like other concubines. But Natalia had the convenience of entering the palace at any time, so that she could easily meet the Sultan.
So in the territory of Delhi Sultan, no one has yet dared to have a hard time with Natalia. Even the Rajputs, who were hostile to the Sultan, did not dare to disadvantage them because of the scarce goods of the Natalia leather merchants.
Originally, Egnaqi forbade the appearance of Khorasan goods in the land of faith! However, the special presence of the Natalia leather goods store made the goods of Khorasan still popular. Egnaqi did not dare to do anything against him, so he let it go. This makes Natalia Leather Stores a special existence in the Land of Faith! In many trades, they occupy a monopoly position.
To some extent, it can be regarded as a variant of the Li family trading house in the land of Khorasan. Throughout the Indian subcontinent, there is a trade presence of Natalia leather merchants.
However, Hu Meima frowned and said loudly: "That lady came to Natalia Leather Goods Store at this time, but there is something important?" ”。
After all, it is now a critical moment for the survival of the city! Ikeva came to Natalia at this time, and the purpose was definitely not simple. As Ikava's henchman, Hu Meima can still figure it out.
"Hmmm! An old friend is waiting at the Natalia leather store. Ekava didn't say much. Hu Meima knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he didn't answer.
So in front of the door of the leather goods store, Hu Meima stepped forward and slammed the door first. When the waiter inside saw that it was Ikava, he immediately greeted him respectfully.
