Facts have proved that the log wall is not an opponent of solid shells, and the 155 cannon is a hole more than half a meter big when it hits about 200 meters, and the shells still do not slow down, and can also penetrate the buildings and ships behind the wall several more layers. The 135 gun was actually the same, the penetration was not much smaller than that of the 155 caliber. When the five ships took turns shelling a round, the 100-meter-wide wall of the water village had become a broken sieve, and it was half smaller. Behind the wall, there were originally officers and soldiers of the naval division, ready to use crossbow arrows and bows to attack the attackers.

An iron ball flew over, and there was a big hole in the wall, and the sawdust that was broken by the cannonball became natural shrapnel, which instantly expanded the lethality of the cannonball several times, as long as the people standing within a few meters around did not run, and they had to be pierced into a blood gourd if they did not die. As soon as the wall fell, it was even more troublesome, and all the boats inside could not get out, and they were huddled together, and a single shell could often penetrate several ships, and then they could jump to the shore and wreak havoc again. At this time, the people who were alive or could still run were running to the shore, and they didn't go back to the dock after leaving the back door of the water village, but drilled into the mountains. The instinct of the creatures tells them that the water's edge is the most dangerous, stay away!

It took less than half an hour for the Mongolian sailors at Shishikou to be completely gone, and when the Jinhe with the four warships behind it began to shell the dock, the three cargo ships outside the port also received orders and began to enter the port. When it's time for them to show their skills, it's not them, but the mercenaries they have in their bellies.

The first to go ashore were the armoured axemen, compared to the Mamluk axe men that Hong Tao had seen first. These axes are much inferior. It's not a lot shorter. Even the armor is no longer tightly wrapped. Instead, it became two iron barrels and four iron cylinders. The large iron bucket is attached to the torso, the small iron bucket is fastened to the head, and the remaining four long iron barrels are placed on the limbs. This is Hong Tao's newly designed armor for the axemen, there is no other benefit, it is cheap and easy to manufacture, use the water conservancy hammer of Jinhewan to chisel out the iron plate, and then connect it with rivets. When you wear it, put on a soft whale skin and fix it on your body with a belt, so as long as it doesn't fall off, it's OK anyway.

There's no way around it. If hundreds of people are equipped with the fine iron armor of the Mamluks, not to mention the cost and construction period, it is a question whether the stature of these Southeast Asian slaves can resist movement. Now this kind of iron armor doesn't look good, but it is much lighter, and the weight is only half of the original, and it can still defend against the slashing of ordinary swords and bow and arrow shots. It doesn't matter if it's good-looking or not, practicality is the last word.

When the axemen cleared the dock of danger, the horses were led ashore from the hold. It's strange to say, people are seasick, but horses don't get seasick. After a few days of familiarization at sea, they will be able to adapt to the rocking of the boat. It is time to eat, to sleep, and it is not affected. And they don't get sick after going ashore, can it be said that they have the genes of seahorses in their bodies?

Rather than saying that the quality of a unit depends on the commander, these Javanese have been trained by the Mamluks for a year, and they have been reborn without the feeling of scattered and chaotic things that they used to have. Except for the clashing of weapons and armor, no one shouted and shouted, and they did not need to rely on shouting to command, and when they came ashore, they lined up in a small phalanx under the leadership of the officers, blocking the main entrance to the dock, making room for the cavalry.

"Stand by and wait!" When the marines at Langya sent a flag from the shore to ask for instructions for their next move, Hong Tao gave the answer that the whole army was on standby, what was he waiting for?

It didn't take long for everyone to know what the manager was waiting for. Shishikou is a military port, it is impossible to only have a naval division to garrison, there must be a garrison on land, Hong Tao is waiting for the local garrison to arrive. Whether it was the marines or the Mamluks in his own hands, the number was too small and the cavalry was even less, so it was not safe to rush into the interior. Don't look at Hong Tao fighting this and beating that on the sea all day long, this is because he understands navigation technology and has advanced weapons such as naval guns. Once on land, he is a mallet, he doesn't know any tactics and tactics, and it is estimated that Swandu is a hundred times stronger than him. So he is very reluctant to fight the enemy face-to-face on land, and use his own shortcomings to fight with the strengths of others, that is not a fool.

Hong Tao has an advantage, that is, he has a clear understanding of his own ability. He understands what he can and can't do, and he automatically gives a twenty-percent discount, always thinking about difficulties, he will never do things that are too dangerous, and no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do. It is under the domination of this kind of thinking that he can win every battle. Nonsense, he doesn't do anything that he is 99% sure of, but he doesn't have a high winning rate, and the remaining 1% is handed over to those in the sky to be in charge.

"It's been more than an hour since the beacon fire was lit, and the talent has just arrived, and the defense of the army here seems to be not as good as Dengzhou! The people who told us to retreat slowly, and all of them retreated to the dock of the water village on the west side. "The army landed, set up the formation, and waited for more than half an hour before the main road to the east saw the dust flying, and the enemy's army was coming. Hong Tao held the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the fart, the dust was too big.

"Sir, the terrain is too narrow, with a hillside on one side and the sea on the other, and there is no room for maneuver, is it too crowded?" Swann is no longer a cavalryman, he became the acting captain of the ship, and in order to cooperate with the landing operation, Hong Tao transferred him to his own ship as a staff officer. Hearing Hong Tao's order, Swan had his own opinion, because he was originally a cavalryman, and the first thing that appeared in his mind was the original cavalryman's thinking.

"You're a navy, not a cavalryman! This is a naval battle, not a land battle, so you step aside first, and when you get inland, I will need you! Now show me, give me the order! Hong Tao didn't know what kind of battlefield the cavalry needed to be the most suitable, but he knew very well what he wanted, and as for those cavalry and axe soldiers, he didn't think about it, because he didn't want to use them as the main force at all.

"......" Swan didn't understand Hong Tao's words, but still passed the order to the lookout and standard-bearer on the mast.

As the two small flags on the Golden River kept waving, there was a small commotion on the docks, and it was clear that Swanta's father and the Mamluk generals were also puzzled by Hong Tao's order. However, under the persuasion of those marines in Langya, they still carried out Hong Tao's order 100%, and it was more neat than Hong Tao imagined, and hundreds of people moved to the west very neatly as if they were being commanded by a brain.

"Swan, I have time to ask your father if he would like to come to live in Jinhewan, and become 100% Jinhewan people, there are no more Mamluks, everyone is the same person. They can only occupy one island in Malacca at most, and if they stay with me, I can make them rulers of a continent, more than a hundred times larger than they are now. "It's better than not knowing, and it's more frightening! Look at the Mamluk recruits who have only been trained for less than a year, and then look at the marines who have been training for two or three years at Langya, the former is an army, the latter is a peasant with weapons, there is such a big difference! Hong Tao didn't think that he could accomplish all his goals by relying on the sea alone, and if he had an army with a small number of people and good combat effectiveness when necessary, it would be perfect.

After more than a year of cooperation, the Mamluks have performed well and still know how to advance and retreat. Although they are a bit out of step with the system of Jinhewan, who said that the people of Jinhewan can only live in Jinhewan? As the expedition ships go farther and farther, and the maritime trade becomes more and more developed, there are many places where these professional soldiers can use their surplus heat and fix them in Southeast Asia, where there is not even a serious country, which is too wasteful! Hong Tao likes to make the best use of things, and people are the same, as long as you have the ability, and don't go in the opposite direction from his own, you can strengthen cooperation, and even enter the company as a director, as long as you can bring more benefits to the company.

"They don't like the sea...... "Swan was not very interested in Hong Tao's proposal, he knew very well what his father was like, and let a group of cavalry huddle on the ship all day, the short time can be improvised, but the long time will definitely not work.

"I didn't say let them be sailors! Even if they are willing, I am not willing, what if I take my ship away? I mean let them continue to be cavalrymen, and use our big ships as wings. No matter how fast a horse runs, how far can it run in a day and night? What about ten days and nights? The boat is different, it can not outrun the horse in one day, and it must be faster than the horse in ten days. Isn't it better to take your father thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles away, and we can conquer it together, than if he was in a small place? When the time comes, if possible, you Mamluks will have your own country, your own people, and you won't have to go back and forth between slaves and warriors. Hong Tao's eyes were still on the binoculars and he tried to observe the enemy coming from the road in the distance, but his mouth was not idle, and he soon baked a large cake for Swan's father, which was still fragrant.

"Own country...... Why don't I ask my father! "Siwan is not stupid at all, he has a good brain, he can understand what Hong Tao means, and he can also distinguish the difference between a city lord and a king. This temptation is too great, and Hong Tao is still a person who does what he says, so he can't believe it.

"Stop me first! Now that you are my officer, the battlefield is on my side, where to go? As soon as you hear that your father has a advantage to take advantage of, can't you wait? After the battle, I will order all ships, half of the fire bombs, half of the live ammunition, the target is the entrance of the dock, follow the flagship, with the fastest speed, five rounds of free fire! Hong Tao grabbed Swan's neck and pulled him to his side again. (To be continued.) )
