The advent of airships and heavy rockets, or as the Ming army customarily called them, completely destroyed the courage of the Persians. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The same destroyed their faith.

After all, what supports them to persist in fighting, that is, the hope for Lao Mu, purely in terms of interests, to be obedient to the Ming and to the lords as farmers, in fact, it will not be worse there, and even relatively speaking, life is better, this has been proven by many examples, such as those in Yemen who are obedient to the Ming Dynasty, now they are planting cotton and picking pearls, and there is no longer a fight for land between tribal chiefs, and the days are becoming more and more comfortable, and the Acehnese and Bruneians who have surrendered to Yang Feng earlier, Not to mention that day.

The Persians also knew this.

The reason why they are still fighting is to defend their faith, believing that their piety can move Lao Mu, maybe Lord Zhen will send a thunderbolt to kill the Eastern Demon King and then they will become apologetic warriors.

But now, their gods are silent, and the Ming army is becoming more and more ferocious.

And all kinds of means are becoming more and more incredible, now even the huge monsters that can fly into the sky, the super cannon as terrifying as magic, the poisonous mist that is unstoppable like a plague and kills like mowing grass, these weapons that are completely beyond the scope of human beings have actually poured out, killing them is like killing dogs, demolishing their temples is like smashing a vase, and burning their scriptures is even more smokeless.

If their gods really exist, then why not punish these demons?

If their gods really exist, why should these demons be allowed to blaspheme?

If their God really exists, why can't they protect their people?

They struggled under the fire of the invaders, their homes were destroyed, their women were plundered, they believed in the gods but were not protected by the gods, and the demons of the East lived in the most beautiful buildings, dressed in silk and satin, drank wine and ate meat, and hugged the most beautiful women, and enjoyed the best life, if the happiness described in the scriptures is nothing more than that, then why can the blasphemers live to enjoy all this, while the devout believers in the gods have to endure bullying and can only enjoy happiness after death?

How unjust!

What's more, does everything really have to be there after death?

Faith collapsed like that.

The city of Ahvaz surrendered, the defenders themselves held white flags and opened the city gates, when the Ming army entered the city that had been razed for most of the time, there was no one to resist, even the elders hurriedly fled the temple and hid among the civilians, and the Ming army did not resist when they collected the scriptures, and then when those airships cruised around, the surrounding villages and towns also gave up resistance.

Of course, it was mainly those who had the courage to resist who died in the last battle, and the remaining group of old and weak women and children were not able to resist.

And just as the Ming army conquered Ahvaz, the Marines also landed and occupied Bandar Abbas, unlike the city of Ahvaz that surrendered because of a breakdown of courage, Bandar Abbas was purely because the warriors of the Zhen Lord had already died. The Ming fleet poured more than 10,000 five-inch shells and 30,000 four-inch shells on this small city, an average of three shells per house, and the power of the shells filled with wet cotton gunpowder was actually not much worse than that of modern shells, 10,000 150-level shells and 30,000 120-level shells hit such a small city with a population of tens of thousands......

Well, that's crazy indeed.

At this point, the strategic layout of the Ming army in Persia was completed, and all that remained was to march along the coast in the east and west, and finally join forces at Bushehr, cutting off the entire coastal area of the Persian Gulf.

As for the rest......

Just watch the excitement.

The Persian plateau is not so easy to fight, even if this country is forcibly captured, it will not be worth the loss, it is better to provoke them and the Ottomans to continue to fight, let them drain each other's blood first, anyway, no matter who wins or loses, in the end it will be Yang Feng who wins, as for his main target in the Middle East in the short term, Egypt or his canal. By this time, Egypt was well on its way, with the construction of the road from the port of Sefaj to Kina, where a large number of slaves and hired Egyptian laborers were toiling, and the construction of a cement plant near Aswan was expected to be operational in six months at most, and the port of Sefaj was expanded.

If you don't expand, you won't be able to.

Because a large apatite mine was found in this vicinity, and this thing is very scarce in Daming, whether it is white phosphorus for arms or phosphate fertilizer on the rise, it is based on this kind of thing as raw material, although there are also such minerals in China, but most of them are in the mountainous areas, and the transportation is somewhat inconvenient, but this apatite mine is next to the port.

Of course, this was a surprise, but the real purpose of the port was the dam, and once the road was repaired, a large number of machines and supplies would land in the port and send them to Keener, where a shipyard had already begun to build wooden river boats. Even the new internal combustion engine equipped with these wooden ships has been built in Daming, in fact, it is a diesel engine, with a gasoline engine, of course, there must be a diesel engine, and it is too high-end to make others, but the single-cylinder diesel engine used in the tractor is still not too much of a problem.

Originally, in 1915, a small Chinese workshop owner was able to imitate something in his own workshop by secretly going to a foreign merchant ship to disassemble and map it, and there was no reason why His Majesty the Ming Emperor could not make it with the national power at this time.

Because of the propaganda offensive of the Ming army, and the construction of dams became more and more clear, the Egyptians' will to resist was crumbling, and no matter how desperately the elders in Cairo preached the slogan of the sheng war, they could not stop those cities from surrendering to the Ming army one by one. Those evil spaceships, demon weapons refined by demons with living souls, continue to fly in the holy sky of Lord Zhen, bewitching those cowards who are not firm in their beliefs with magic sounds, inducing them to turn their backs on the teachings of the gods, and willingly fall to the feet of demons, they will not end well, Lord Zhen will soon be punished, Lord Zhen will ......

Well, the punishment of the Zhen lord did not fall, but the punishment of the Ming army fell.

The Ming Air Force that bombed Ahvaz......

Well, in addition to the navy and army, the Ming Dynasty officially established the air force, and Emperor Yang personally served as the generalissimo of the army, navy and air force, but the newly established Ming Air Force currently has only twenty airships, these twenty airships after bombing Ahvaz, and then transferred to the Red Sea under the tow of the Navy cruiser, their current performance is not very safe, and it is not safe to cross the Arabian Peninsula, in case it falls into the desert on the way, it will be a tragedy.

The airship team moved to the port of Suez, then took off loaded with bombs and arrived at its destination just an hour later.

Cairo.

"Pyramid!"

Fang Qi, a soldier of the First Air Force of the Ming Air Force, shouted excitedly in the cockpit of the airship.

In the direction of his finger, huge pyramids stood in the desert, and the equally huge sphinxes lay in the yellow sand, showing the prosperity of this land together with the ancient city of Cairo beside them, but the boundless desert in the distance seemed to laugh at its decline, and only the silently flowing Nile River stubbornly held the last line of defense with the green on both sides of it.

"What's there to see in a pile of broken stones?"

The captain's face sank and he reprimanded.

Fang Qi quickly shut up.

"Pay attention to your faith, as a people of the Holy Spirit, to be critical of these heretical things, isn't that just a lot of stones? The ancient Egyptian emperors forced the people to cultivate such meaningless things for the sake of their own ignorant thoughts, how many people had to die of exhaustion, don't you see this? ”

The captain continued to train him.

"Please forgive your subordinates for their ignorance, and your subordinates will definitely go to the shrine to repent of their sacrifices when they go back."

Fang Qi said ashamedly.

"Don't get to work yet!"

The captain nodded and shouted.

Fang Qi hurriedly opened the fixed lock on the bulkhead, and a bomb that had just been fitted with a fuse immediately fell into his arms, and then he picked it up and put it on the chute, and then grabbed the tail of the bomb with both hands and waited, while the captain quickly lowered the engine throttle to the minimum, and at the same time turned the steering wheel next to him, and the rudder behind the airship immediately rotated under the pull of the rope, and the entire airship immediately changed direction, and after more than ten seconds, the captain suddenly shouted: "Release!" ”

Fang Qi hurriedly let go and pushed forward.

The fifty-pound bomb was immediately pushed out of the chute and fell with a whistle.

This kind of bombing, of course, has little precision.

But if the airship is only at a height equivalent to that of a dive bomber dropping a bomb from the target, and the speed is almost zero, it is completely different.

This bomb hit the target accurately.

Suddenly, a terrifying ball of fire exploded in the temple below, and under the force of the explosion, those exquisite buildings were like sand castles before the Nile flood, and the violent ring of dust was pushed outward, and countless fragments of buildings were thrown into the sky, as were the temple elders and believers who were in a daze, they were torn apart in an instant like toys.

And at this moment, bombs were dropped on the remaining nineteen airships.

One by one, they were dropped.

Twenty airships slowly skimmed the Cairo sky like twenty monsters, terrifying bombs kept falling, and exploding fires continued to rise in the city.

And in the streets of Cairo, where all the Egyptians scattered in frenzy and panic, crowded with each other, trampled each other, cries, screams, and even desperate pleadings rang out in confusion, and the city instantly seemed as if the end of the world had come. Flames erupted everywhere, and the loud explosions and the black smoke that rose from them intensified the panic, and the will of everyone, whether it was the defenders, the common people, or even the temple elders, collapsed in front of the enemy they could not understand. Everyone was scrambling to flee their homes, and at this time, all the beliefs and the lords were left behind, and at this time there was only fear in their hearts.

Faith collapsed. (To be continued.) )
