Chapter 20: Forced Surrender [Tomorrow to Return to Normal Update]
"Where's the spear! Spear up! Rush! Rush! Rush!! ”
Although Blacksmith Li Dong is still trying to make a good gun head, there are also a lot of semi-finished products that are not so perfect. These 20 or so are either too hard, or the center of gravity is unstable, or there are bubble defects inside, in short, most of them are technical mistakes that can be compensated. The cavalry lance used as a cavalry was also improvised, but it seemed to work well.
Chishu's harbor area is actually made up of a number of decaying docks, a large semicircular ring-shaped square, and a few streets behind it. It can be seen that this square was once also a place where commerce flourished. The square is the size of several "Square Dance Exclusive Squares for the Elderly in the Youth Palace" in later generations. Several sunken or protruding mounds or mud pits suggest that it was once a trading warehouse, or simply a temporary open-air shop.
But now it's all gone. Since the beginning of the Great Migration of Peoples, Crimea has never been quiet. Crimea was brought by nomads. The area, including the lower Dnieper estuary, was called Tauriga by the Greeks, and Kerch was the birthplace of the Bosphorus.
More than a dozen of the bravest and strongest Qin clansmen rushed towards the Genoese mercenaries who were still on the harbor with them, holding spears hastily made from the poor quality of the trees near Chizhou. At the forefront are the scattered Sicilian riders! These strange-looking (Han people's point of view) people are still leisurely drinking horses at the moment!
In fact, horses also have to drink water. But you can't fill it with seawater, right? So the green, smelly water in the cabin became the only source of water for the horses. But this is not enough. Sicilian riders lost all their horses, and a large part of them was also due to the lack of water.
The water tanks and buckets had not yet been removed after the Han people had left, and there were two huge water pits for horses, cattle and sheep to drink.
And it happened to be the carelessness of the Sicilians who were on alert, so that hundreds of Han cavalry actually drove into the harbor area so quickly!
You must know that if a hundred Swiss mercenaries who were supervising the Greeks to carry goods could set up temporary fortifications at several street corners, and then the Spanish musketeers helped, the Sicilian started to respond, and the weak Greeks helped carry the supplies, then it would be extremely difficult for Qin Cang to take back the harbor area. Unless Qin Cang's cavalry bypassed the harbor area and rushed into the harbor area from the coastal edges of the northern and southern districts. The losses are just as significant.
Or maybe Qin Cang was willing to risk his precious lives to fill the gunpowder of the Spanish musketeers, as well as the spears and halberds of the Swiss mercenaries.
The spears of the cavalry who rushed into the harbor area unsurprisingly took the lives of the large group of unruly Sicilian riders, and then the hundreds of cavalry rushed in like a swarm, and they undoubtedly became the machines that harvested life!
After decades of fighting on the grassland, these Qin clansmen have long been indistinguishable from the Tatars in terms of combat skills! Their bows and arrows plunged into the naked bodies of the Swiss mercenaries, taking their lives and souls. The Swiss mud-legged generally can't afford armor, so they only have the first row when fighting, and the first few rows of the wealthier ones are eligible to wear armor, and the others can only resist spears. And this situation has undoubtedly exacerbated the carnage!
"Quick! Reel in the anchor! Let's go! Let's go! ”
Seeing the more than 200 guards in the square being harvested like leeks by the barbaric "Tatars", André Conte, who was still resting on the single deck and watching, immediately urged the sailors of the four ships to set sail quickly!
"But the anchor has gone down! And all four ships were damaged to varying degrees, and most of the two ships were broken! We simply can't run away! The sailor replied desperately to Andre Conte.
It was at this moment that Andre Conte had a feeling that the sky was falling!
If the goods are gone, they can be re-entered and sold, and when the mercenaries are gone, they can be hired and found again, but the ships are gone...... Then don't think about it anymore! What's more, these four-oar-sailing merchant ships were chartered by Andre Conte for thousands of ducats. Once the boat is lost, think of the high compensation, André Conte now has the heart to jump into the sea and die!
In fact, when Andre Conte was about to do so, he was already held down by the people who boarded the boat.
"Hey! Uncle Four! What meat! ”
It was the last voice André Conte heard. In a fit of rage, he finally fainted on the deck.
Qin Cang looked at the four big ships tens of meters long, and he couldn't help himself with excitement!
It's a fortune boy! Qin Cang looked at the rich Genoese man in front of him.
These four ships were decked galleys and sailing ships, and each of them had two hundred Italians who served as masters to row their oars.
In other words, by the time the Han people wielded knives and guns to force people out, more than 700 Italian prisoners had already come out of the ship.
"Childe, there is a gang of thieves who just don't surrender ......"
"Huh?"
Qin Cang rode over on horseback, he attacked so suddenly, there were still troops that could be organized?
After arriving, Qin Cang's scalp was numb.
Dozens of Swiss mercenary groups get together! They gathered together, and with their dense spears they were like hedgehogs. Bows and arrows kept coming through, and the Swiss were constantly wounded. But the sharpness of the arrows was so worrying that some could not even penetrate the Swiss clothes.
"Swiss!"
Qin Cang shook his head. He saw the Sicilian riders, the arrogant mad dogs cut down and left behind a pile of corpses; The Spanish musketeers, none of whom ran, crouched in the corner with their heads in their hands; The Greek peasants simply did not resist, and took the old goods to ask them for credit for what they saw as "Tatars".
Only these honest Swiss are not bad, and there are dozens of people who can gather together to form a resistance formation.
"Surrender!" Qin Cang made people shout.
The result, of course, was unresponsive. The Swiss don't know Chinese, and Qin Cang doesn't know German either.
What's more, the German language of the Swiss is not very well understood even by the Germans.
"Ask the Greeks, how do the Swiss usually communicate with people?" Qin Cang scratched his head and said.
The soft-boned Greeks immediately leaked out. Among the Swiss, the leader Ham knew Italian.
So Qin Cang pulled the Greek, who could speak Italian, and asked him to rush inside and shout: "Surrender!" Otherwise, the wounded soldiers will be killed!! ”
Ham, who was standing in the crowd, immediately left beads of sweat the size of beans.......
