Chapter 325: Joint Attack
From confrontation to cooperation, Ayev and Blackwater can be said to have walked an extremely difficult road.
As a passive cooperating party, Ayev paid for the lives of thousands of soldiers, while Blackwater paid for nothing more than some ammunition grenades.
The 500-strong Blackwater reinforcements, plus three months of war material supplies, greatly increased the strength of the United City for a month, not only let the Dutch see the price paid by Blackwater in this war, but even Dupra, who came to participate in the negotiations and was invited to dinner, was surprised by Blackwater's actions to say that this war was paid.
It was very shocking just that such a large number of supplies were constantly being delivered into the United City, and when he saw a cannon of caliber size being delivered again, Dupra could be said to be a little desperate.
How powerful these cannons are, he is not at all less than the artillery of the Black Water, because when Ayev launched an attack not long ago, the Black Water soldiers used such artillery to block the attack, and as soon as the black shell fell, a big crater appeared in the whole area in an instant, and the surrounding people were also blown up and the corpses of the five horses were bleeding all over the ground.
The terrible artillery is definitely a demon, there is no more terrible weapon than this, these black water soldiers are simply like demons, Dupra now sees those black muzzles, and there are some palpitations, if it weren't for his own life, I'm afraid he would have died under the muzzle.
So for the huge shadow of artillery, it is not Dupra alone, Ayef and all the soldiers have, but on the other hand, Ayef has more and more hope of success, and the Sultan's army will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Blackwater artillery.
Ayev finally negotiated cooperation with Oshima before the reinforcements arrived, and it can be said that he agreed to all of Blackwater's demands almost unconditionally, and there was no dignity to talk about at all.
Of course, Oshima and Zhou Yu are quite polite to Ayef and Dupra, after all, they have become partners, and there is nothing wrong with being polite to each other, plus Oshima has always been a more polite person.
The two sides agreed on cooperation, and Ayev personally went to the United City to meet with Oshima. As for whether it will be seen by the Sultan's people, it is completely unnecessary now, even if the Sultan is prepared, the officers of Blackwater said that they will crush the other side with powerful artillery fire and make them powerless.
Hearing Oshima's answer, Ayef actually showed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, although those people were not from his own tribe, but after all, they were Landaks, and they would also be his own citizens in the future, so it didn't seem too good for them.
But the Blackwater officer's words weren't entirely wrong. Those who do great things must be ruthless, and how can they become kings if they are not ruthless.
"General Ayev, our army will be fighting on the front line, the main task of your army is to ensure that our logistics and transportation will not be attacked by the enemy, I hope that your army can be divided into three groups, leaving a thousand people to cooperate with our people in the United City to defend and ensure the safety of supplies. Another 1,000 men were sent to help us deliver supplies, while the rest joined us in the fight. What do you think. ”
Zhou Yu informed Yu Ayev of the combat method discussed by Oshima Masakum, and assigned the other party's tasks, so it can be said that he has completely begun to command the opponent's army, although this makes Ayev a little uncomfortable. But I still have to agree, after all, the common interest is at stake.
It is necessary to obey Blackwater's command as a partner, and even the Dutch must obey Blackwater's command if they want to gain benefits at this time.
After all, the Sultan of Landak controlled an army of nearly 10,000 men, albeit improvised. But there is an advantage in numbers.
In response to this combat operation, the meaning given by the Blackwater Staff Headquarters is to quickly eliminate the army controlled by the Sultan of Landak. Help Ayev become the new sultan, as for the other disobedient, it will be handled by Ayef himself, I believe he also has the strength to solve this problem, after all, he also has a considerable part of the army under his hands.
After assigning the task of attacking, Blackwater officially began the battle of attacking the capital of Landak, the total number of troops invested by Blackwater in this battle reached 700 men, and the Dutch invested about 200 troops, plus Ayev's 3,000 men, a total of nearly 4,000 troops launched a siege battle against Landak's capital.
All the way down, the artillery of Heishui opened the way all the way, as long as a few cannons were placed, the infantry would directly turn against the soldiers or officials who defended the city before they could be dispatched, and became Ayef's vassals.
When the Sultan of Landak knew that Ayef was colluding with Blackwater, he was so angry that he dropped the glass imported from Australia in his hand on the spot, and immediately gathered his men to transfer back the troops sent to the north to participate in the war, and on the other hand, he also forcibly recruited troops from the major tribes to join the battle to defend the capital.
However, at this time, the patriarchs and elders of the major tribes also saw very clearly, this time there was Heishui involved in the rebellion, even if it was not successful, Ayef was sure to set himself up as king, and the biggest possibility was that Ayef defeated the Sultan and became the new Sultan, once it became a reality, what would it mean to send tribal youth to participate in the war now.
Therefore, in the face of the Sultan's conscription, the elders and patriarchs of the major tribes were not very motivated, no matter how generous the conditions proposed by the Sultan, they were not moved at all, after all, the other party was a soldier of Blackwater, a unit with a well-known combat effectiveness, and fighting with such a force was equivalent to sending their own tribal youth to death.
As long as you are not a fool, you will not do this, not to mention that the situation is very obvious now, and Aev's hope of victory is too great.
The allied forces of Heishui and the Ayef Dutch were like a victorious army that was always victorious, and almost every time they attacked the city, there was no great resistance, which surprised Zhou Yu and Heishui's staff headquarters.
Don't these people know how long it will take to resist or at least stop Blackwater's advance? But thinking like this, maybe Zhou Yu and they are too naïve, the composition of Landak is from the major tribes, and it is not so iron-clad in the first place, so naturally they can't follow the steps of the Sultan when they encounter a crisis.
There is no obstacle to the Blackwater coalition army, the advance time is getting faster and faster, and finally five days later, the three-party coalition army attacked the capital of Landak, at this time the only few thousand troops in the capital will to fight is not very obvious, if it were not for the rear with a thousand Sultan Governor team guarding the back, it is estimated that they would have surrendered a long time ago, but no matter how they supervised, this war would have been lost.
