Question: What should I do if there is a serious shortage of labor on the Enze Coast and there is a shortage of animal power?

Answer: Robbing, of course!

If you don't rob it, do you still let Yang Qi and Yang Qin take the fleet to a nearby port to trade and buy? Now it is the first thing to raise labor by all means to complete the fortifications of the Enze Coast.

Although Ling Zhen has been in the battle formation for a long time, he still has this decision, and he is not a natural virgin. After the initial stability of the Enze coast, he called Yang Mi and Yang Qin, and after some discussion, Yang Mi stayed behind, and Yang Qin led five warships and three supply ships to go on the expedition.

He will not go far away, but will wander around the east coast of the peninsula, and will not go anywhere in the Gulf of Aden.

In terms of the level of urban defense of the Tianfang people in this generation, Yang Qin felt that it was enough for him to only wait for five hundred soldiers.

Ten battleships and three supply ships, in addition to being fully loaded with supplies, carried two battalions of marines and two battalions of armored men. Now Yang Qin only mentioned that he had slipped away a battalion of armored soldiers.

Smash a few cities, grab some labor and all kinds of supplies, and the territory within this area is nominally owned by the Seljuks.

It's called eating the enemy!

Yang Qin's target was Hadramao south of the Enze coast. Its core cities are the cities of Shibam and Mukla!

Among them, Mukara is a seaside city, which at first glance looks somewhat similar to the Enze Coast, but in fact the temperature is much higher than that of the Enze Coast. Because there is no vast plateau on the back of the peninsula, it blocks the heat waves in the interior of the peninsula.

It has a typical tropical desert climate, with unbearable heat in summer and pleasant temperatures in winter.

Eight ships carrying 500 armoured soldiers was a piece of cake, and in order to speed up the march of the troops after landing, they even carried 1,200 camels and horses.

Because in the sandy Hadramo, vehicles were useless, and the army would need these large livestock even more if they were to march towards the city of Shibam after the landing.

Unlike Mukla, Shibam is an inland city, located three hundred and fifty miles from Mukala, on a small hill in the middle of the Hadramao Valley, where several seasonal rivers meet.

It is an ancient city with a history of more than 1,000 years, and it has always played an important role in the land as the center of inland trade and commerce in West Yemen.

The large population and prosperity of the city are also obvious. It is a place that Yang Qin cannot give up.

Having made up his mind, Yang Qin led his troops to board the ship and led the team to the south.

A fleet of five warships and three supply ships crushed the resistance of the natives along the way, and before reaching Mukala, they successively broke the three cities of Qaeda, Sherhat, and Seyer, leaving the empty supply ships with some extra loads.

On the third day, the fleet arrived at Mukala, a city that was noticeably larger than the smaller cities such as Al Qaeda, and even larger than Zufar, judging by its size!

But the city port is obviously not as big as Zufar, and the market is not as prosperous as Zufar, and Yang Qin, who is standing at the bow of the ship, can even make another judgment: the crop cultivation here is far more monotonous than Zufar, and it seems that only dates are there. Unlike Zufar, grains, vegetables, fruits, and animals are salty.

The news of the Chinese occupation of Zufarr has long been known here.

The city of Mukala was already on alert, and when eight large ships appeared outside the port, a bright alarm bell sounded inside the city.

The port was abandoned by them, and Yang Qin saw that a large group of Heavenly Natives were running towards the city with their homes and possessions, and the ships moored in the port were all hoisted with white flags.

In China, the white flag means surrender, a rule that has long been known to the people of Heaven.

Beyond the port is the city of Mukalla...... Well, it's a wall. The height is about two zhang or so, but looking at the texture, it is not the earth city he is familiar with, nor the stone city, but the brick city. It is made of clay-fired bricks, and it is a brick city that has just appeared in the capital of the Lu Qi Dynasty.

The strong men who walked back and forth on the wall, this is the guard of the city of Mukala.

They looked at the convoy of eight ships, each with a high degree of tension. Because the legendary Chinese army is not only well-armed with every soldier, but also has extremely powerful weapons such as cannons.

It has been 20 years since Lu Qi officially founded the country, and the name of artillery has spread to Europe, and the people of Heaven no longer regard it as a weapon of the devil, but have accepted it as a weapon from the bottom of their hearts.

Even gunpowder reached the heavens, but so what?

Only Sanjar knew how effective and how many of the artillery the Seljuks had, and the Celestial Peninsula where Mukara City was located was so desolate that the natives here had never seen artillery at all, at most they had only heard of its name.

I don't know how to defend against this weapon, how to face it.

A large number of Ding Zhuang gathered at the head of the city, and Yang Qin, who was watching, laughed, isn't this a target for nothing.

When the ships arrived at the port of Mukla, the eight ships lowered a large number of small boats and brought their troops ashore first, while also controlling the ships on the docks.

Yang Qin took out the clairvoyant mirror from his arms, stood on the high stern of the ship, and took a good time to observe the wall, and found that these Ding Zhuang were generally equipped with spears, bows and arrows, and even leather armor, which was not much stronger than the natives of Nanyang, and was not a level opponent at all. However, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and of course he will not have any thoughts of underestimating them.

When the dock area was completely controlled, hundreds of camels and horses were pulled ashore, and Yang Qin waved his hand lightly.

The city of Mukara was completely within the range of the warship artillery.

"Boom, boom!"

A series of thunderbolts exploded, and then a large puff of smoke covered the warship, but it was soon blown away by the whistling sea breeze, leaving only a faint smell of gunsmoke.

And the city of Mukara is already in chaos.

The bombardment of dozens of shells, of course, could not completely hit the target, and it can even be said that only a very small number of shells accurately hit the head of the city. Some of the shells fell into the city or fell outside the city, and some of the shells hit the city walls, creating tabletop-sized cracks in the brick walls. The cannonball that actually hit the head of the city may only be a tenth of it. There were only thirty or twenty people killed and wounded!

But this is a very deterrent and blow to Ding Zhuang at the head of the city.

They can be attacked from such a distance, and they have no means to fight back. And the dead and wounded were so miserable, their bodies were mutilated, and even torn apart......

This is completely beyond the understanding of 'war' by these people.

The city of Mukala was full of screams and weeping, and some people were mad and rushed down the city, and the crowds were crowded, and there was great chaos.

The battalion in the port area waved his hand, and the two soldiers rushed straight to the opposite city gate with the powder packets.

"Boom! Rumble! "The wooden gate burst open.

"Wei Sheng!" The battalion shouted.

Hearing the sound of "whew", a burly man in heavy armor like a black bear arrived.

This is Wei Sheng, who is excellent in martial arts, good at using a big knife, and is known as the "Wei big knife" in the army.

"Take the city for me, be careful, if you don't have to, don't do more killing!" The people here are laborers.
