The sea ships of the Song people! It's not one yet! That's so interesting. Hong Tao somewhat agreed with the two fishermen's statements, the port of Malacca has a very complete defense system, if it is not attacked from the inside, just to deal with the stone fortress of the port and the grenade launchers on it, it is enough to land the ship. As long as it can be delayed for a while, the army of the king of Malacca will rush to the docks, and without the large and well-trained army of the Great Cannibals of the Red Sea, no one will be able to take the port of Malacca, let alone occupy it, and slaughter the king.

"It's kind of interesting, it seems that some people can't help it! Lao Wen, this time I warn you, if you dare to say half a word more to kill people, I will throw you to the Cape of Good Hope to sing with Lao Mai to the sea. Yaya, inform the fleet, get ready, let's go early tomorrow morning to see who dares to eat inside and outside and help foreigners to harm us! "If you want to know the reason inside, you have to go over and see it yourself, and then use a grenade and a steel knife to ask clearly. In order to prevent Wen Nan from chirping crookedly with himself again, Hong Tao gave the nature of this matter in advance, it was a traitor colluding with an external ghost, and there was no forgiveness for killing! It's useless for anyone to say.

The port of Malacca is much more difficult to defend than the port of Kabalan, its port area is next to a river, and there is a reef island on the south side of the port, which, like a large screen, also compresses the deep-water channel of the port area to 300 meters wide. Although it is a bit difficult to attack from the front, it is still okay to send small ships to land from both sides, unless you can gain sea supremacy, otherwise you can't defend it by land alone.

It's a pity that these people who occupied the port of Malacca didn't think so, they should have known that Hong Tao's fleet was coming, so they had already shrunk the defensive circle, hid all the ships in the port area, put on a stubborn posture, and almost shouted at Hong Tao: You have the ability to rush in and bite me!

Hong Tao really didn't dare to rush. The passage in the port area is too narrow, unless the Jinhe is equipped with a steam engine, it cannot maneuver after entering, and once the sail is lit, it will really become a turtle in an urn. However, Hong Tao has a way to deal with this situation, thanks to those big cannibals. There were 150 Mamluk cavalrymen and more than 50 Mamluk axemen in the cabin of his ship, and their horses and equipment were also there. Whether these cavalry and axemen are really as invincible as the Arabs say, it will be clear if you try them ashore, and it is useless to just talk about it.

"Tell them that I will give them a chance to regain their dignity, and if I take this city, I will let them guard it for generations, and they will not listen to anyone except to be loyal to me. And here they will rule. I can provide them with weapons and food, and there are many places around that can be conquered, as long as they can be defeated, even if it is their territory, you ask them if they are happy or not. "If you want these cavalrymen and axemen to go ashore and fight hard, you must give them conditions, otherwise it is a matter of whether these professional soldiers can come back after they go ashore. Hong Tao didn't want to lose them prematurely, but Jinhe Bay was indeed not suitable for them to live in. Just right, let's put it in the port of Malacca. There is no replenishment by sea. These soldiers, who can only fight and do not build, are not threatened, and they themselves should understand these truths.

"They said that they would accept your terms, that they would be loyal to your lord for generations, and that they would write down an agreement and erect a monument here......" The ship's interpreter told the Mamluk leaders what Hong Tao meant, and they only briefly discussed it. I accepted it unconditionally. It is estimated that in their opinion, the conditions given by Hong Tao are very generous, which is equivalent to letting them occupy the mountain as kings, except for being subject to Hong Tao's control, they are completely free people. It's better than their original treatment, and it's a fool not to agree.

"Alright, go and get them ready, and I'll send a boat to bring them ashore, along with the horses and weapons. I can help them blow up the gates, and they'll have to do the rest. Langya, after they all land, you take people to follow, and if you can't break the city, blow it up! Hong Tao didn't have much hope for these Mamluk soldiers, judging by the number of ships outside the port, there were at least 500 people on the other side, maybe more.

"Hey, by the way, Langya, go with the interpreter, if you see a Song person, it's best to catch a few." Speaking of breaking the city, Hong Tao remembered one more thing, there are indeed Song people's ships docked here, who they are, it is best to find out, otherwise there are always people secretly calculating themselves, it is very uncomfortable.

For Hong Tao to dare to send people to land from the mouth of the river, the defenders in Malacca City were obviously a little surprised, and they didn't react for a long time, probably because they were afraid that Hong Tao would play some tricks, so the two sides were so consumed. The ships in the harbor did not dare to rush out to prevent the landing, and the people of the city did not come out to approach the shore, as if they were hiding from something.

"They're dodging grenades, and it seems that someone has studied us and knows that as long as we don't get close to the battleship, we'll be fine. But this time they miscalculated, I don't know if these professional soldiers can surprise me. Hong Tao has already figured out this question of Weng Ya, and he feels that this time Malacca was attacked by someone, and it is very likely that it is not because the Port of Malacca is being targeted, but because he or the Strait Company is being targeted, which is a very, very big conspiracy.

The Mamluk soldiers landed in an orderly manner, and the first to go ashore were the dozens of axemen, these axemen were all double-layer chain mail, and the important parts were protected by iron plates, and the helmets on the spires were face-covering, revealing only a pair of eyes, and with the big axe in their hands that was more than two meters long, it was very terrifying. Before they went ashore, they had put on all their armor neatly, and only the weapons were issued after they went ashore, and Hong Tao was also afraid that these professional soldiers would rebel on the ship, so not only did they separate the people and weapons, but also landed one cabin after another, and absolutely did not let there be too many Mamluks on the deck.

The axemen were followed by the cavalry, and in the same way, men, horses, and weapons were all ashore separately. These cavalrymen were much more powerful than axemen, and they were not only covered with armor all over their bodies, but even the front part of their horses was covered with armor, and after a brief familiarization, they soon formed three rows on the shore, and then several leaders beat the iron armor on their chests with their scimitars, and made a clattering demonstration.

"Let them stop attacking the city first, advance to a distance of about a hundred meters from the city wall and stop, the cavalry siege is a waste, I'll see if I can help them drive the people out of the city." The people of the city did not come out, but the people on the docks began to retreat to the city, and it seems that they wanted to fight a war of attrition against the besieging side by relying on the walls made of wood and earth. Although Hong Tao doesn't feel very sorry for these Mamluks, they are his own minions at this time, and there is no need to consume them in vain, even if they die, they must die worthwhile.

Soon, the Mamluks who had landed were divided into five detachments, separated themselves from each other, and slowly pressed towards the city gates. They marched in great order, and the tall Arabian horses were as long as they were themselves, and there was no sound in the procession except the sound of horses' hooves. And the more than 50 axe men followed the five teams of cavalry, apparently guarding against a sudden sneak attack, a bit like a coordination between armored vehicles and infantry. Relying on this alone, Hong Tao felt that these professional soldiers were indeed extraordinary, and it could be seen in every detail that they were professional.

The defenders of the city were not very professional, and the distance between the two sides was more than 100 meters, and many arrows were shot. Although they could also attack these cavalrymen and axemen by hanging shots, their armor didn't care at all, and even if the arrows flew over them, they were immediately bounced off. About a hundred meters from the city gate, the cavalry stopped their advance, and a group of sailors came after them with wheelbarrows, each with two sailors holding large planks as shields.

When the first wave of grenades slashes a parabola, flies high and falls into the city walls, the protagonists of the battle become the sailors who operate the wheelbarrows. If the first two or three grenades are still thrown a little messily, then the firing speed in the back is getting faster and more neat. More than twenty wheelbarrows, each with ten grenades, had just been halfway fired when the gates opened. The defenders in the city understood at this time, and instead of being bombed behind the city walls, it was better to come out and fight.

As soon as the gates opened, the sailors responsible for firing the grenades threw the Mamluks behind the Mamluks and retreated to the river with wheelbarrows. This is also what Hong Tao told them in advance, the task of the grenade launcher is only to drive the people out of the city, and it is not responsible for fighting. Not only them, but even Langya and his marines began to retreat, completely surrendering the battlefield to these more than 200 Mamluks.

"That's a lot, it's more than five hundred!" At this time, Hong Tao, who was holding a telescope on the flagship, was a little worried again, and the soldiers who poured out of the city with strips of cloth wrapped in their heads came out more and more. They can't be regarded as a rabble, they are very disciplined, they are lined up in a square line, there are already four squares, and they are still pouring out. The costumes are all about the same, the weapons are similar, and they look like the standard.

"Move, move, our cavalry move!" Weng Ya also held a telescope, as if she was watching an acting, and she was explaining while watching. For this kind of scene, let alone her little girl, Hong Tao has never seen it, hundreds of people against hundreds of people, for him, it is already a big war.

The Mamluk cavalry did not take advantage of the instability of the opponent's formation to launch a surprise attack, but just stood there and watched the opponent line up all six phalanxes, and when the infantry began to move forward, they began to drive their horses and rush towards the phalanx of infantry several times outnumbered them.
