Chapter 4: Out of the Indian Ocean (19)

Although Ding Yi is perfect at cowboy spear drawing, he is holding the reins with one hand and swinging his knife with the other hand to block, and he has to look at whether there is a road in front of him from time to time, and he is still riding backwards on the back of a bumpy horse. If in this case, what else can he use to draw a spear, it is really a matter of nonsense. He can hold it temporarily because he is not wearing armor, has a light weight, and has a speed advantage.

From Ding Yi jumped on his horse, killed the knight and grabbed the horse, and then rode forward to kill the two knights in front of him, until he was wounded, and then hurriedly blocked seven or eight scimitars, this period is a long story, in fact, it is only five or six seconds, and at this time the gunfire rang out, "Horn, horn, horn!" "With six shots in a row, the soldiers of the communication squad led by Li Le aimed at the war horse very safely, and there was basically no possibility of a mistake with such a big target as the war horse.

And at this time, Guo Jin led the five soldiers to rush out of the alley, this time he didn't dare to do it, they were all aimed at the horses, and immediately knocked down five or six horses, the lead bullet of the conical warhead is not a spherical lead bullet, once hit, the stopping effect on the unarmored target is still very good, the cavity formed after rolling is very terrifying, and the horse can't get up if he wants to go crazy after eating pain.

Ding Yi hurriedly made a half Marseille maneuver on his horse to adjust his body, and at this time there were gunshots behind him, and the blockage in front and back was enough to make the cavalry panic, and some of the horses that had not heard the gunshots stood neighing, and the hooves of the horses kicked their companions directly; Some of them collided indiscriminately and directly crashed the walls of the houses on the side.

By the time Ding Yile turned his horse's head, the scene had already degenerated into a massacre. The cavalry, having lost their speed, had no power to parry in the face of the pistol squad with two revolvers drawn in their hands. Even if there are three or two good players, they will jump away immediately when the war horse is hit, but when they reach a distance of less than ten meters, it is basically impossible for the soldiers who can enter the gun squad to miss the shot, and at this distance, their chain armor cannot bring any sense of security.

Collection. Li Le led the team. Ding Yi gave such an order as soon as he saw that all the knights who had fallen to the ground had mended their knives and carried the opponent's scimitar on their shoulders. Grenadiers to Guo Jin. "Obviously, in terms of battlefield command, Li Le is more reliable than Guo Jin. If Li Le allowed his subordinates to shoot freely, then maybe Ding Yi would have added a few more wounds even if he didn't die just now.

So Ding Yi did this very decisively, and handed over all ten soldiers to Li Le to lead. And let Guo Jin play his strengths. In terms of the use of grenadiers, Guo Jin, a veteran who has passed the test with him, still has actual combat experience that is better than others.

Emperor Jing and Morena collected cartridge casings and empty magazines from the soldiers, and handed them the loaded magazines. People can grow, at least Emperor Jing is now very qualified as a military doctor, although he seems to be out of breath because of the shortcomings in his body. But he no longer trembled, and he no longer seemed panicked.

The place where the lord of the castle lived. It is a pocket-sized Arabian castle, when Ding Yi and they approached, the soldiers in the city began to release arrows, but the range of rifled guns is much farther than bows and arrows, and it is much less labor-saving, in the continuous gunfire, soon the bows and arrows on the castle became sparse, and Ding Yi said to Guo Jin: "See if you can blast the door open, there is not much ammunition, only twenty rounds, three, three rounds You have to smash open the city gate, or sweep those defenders." ”

Guo Jin nodded and tightened the belt of the grenadier in his hand.

The result was beyond Ding Yi and Guo Jin's expectations, only one shot was used, and the grenadier was fired only once, and the door was smashed open.

Because this grenade fired from a grenadier fell at a very tricky angle into a place similar to the city gate tower, because of the rain of covered arrows fired many times, because the bow was weak and the enemy did not enter the firing range, so the thirty or so unsuspecting archers who were resting with the bow became the result of the rapid explosion of prefabricated fragments after the grenade of yellow*colored explosives* exploded, and almost all of them were spared.

The defenders, who had been prepared to deal with the onslaught of Ding Yi's side, for they did not know how many attackers they would have to face, could no longer stay on the walls, and they did not want to follow in the footsteps of the archers, so they bravely rushed out, and after absorbing the lessons of the cavalry, they came on foot with their shields and armor.

After Guo Jin calmly reloaded, he fired two more grenades.

The chain armor could not save these soldiers from death, and in the orange firelight, the flower of death bloomed again, taking life without mercy, and when they threw down their shields in panic, Li Le ordered ten soldiers to use a salvo, although there were only ten guns, but this was a magazine rifle, all the soldiers had to do was pull the bolt, load, and fire.

In less than twenty seconds, they had fired no less than ten volleys, and more than a hundred bullets were mercilessly eroding the defenders who had survived the grenade explosion. The unarmored defenders who were hit in the face were lucky, as they died instantly; And those who were hit in the body, and the chain armor that was not pierced, fell to the ground as if they were hit hard; It was very miserable if it was penetrated through the chain armor, and the deformed lead bullet rolled wildly out of a huge cavity in the body......

"Ceasefire." Ding Yi made a tactical gesture to Li Le, because he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the copper whistle that sounded quickly, which was the rhythm of the charge horn, and it was Bulgari's cavalry, although there were only six horsemen, they became the last straw that broke the will of the defenders, and when the cavalry entered the defenders, they directly knocked a few poor insects away, and the other defenders were scattered.

After entering the city lord's residence, Ding Yi took Guo Jin, Bulgari, and Morena with him, and the others cleared the remaining enemies and guarded the gate......

"I know about you and Mahmoud." The lord of the city was in his bedroom, with several guards forming the last line of defense, and he didn't seem to be as calm as the tax collector, perhaps because he still had an entourage, unlike Mahmud, who was in charge of Ding's hand, and had no way to retreat, so he didn't have to think about it so much.

There were still a few corpses on the ground, they were the guards who attacked blatantly when Ding Yi and them arrived, and under the guns of Ding Yi and Guo Jin, they didn't even tear apart Bulgari's pulley bow, and these guards lost their precious lives. And this also made the city lord recognize the shape in front of him and tried to negotiate with Ding Yi.

The city lord was organizing the wording, and it seemed that he still did not give up: "The Great Ming of the Far East...... Only Mahmud's fool would provoke you, I have seen your huge fleet, no, please believe me, no one despises you, your commander, Zheng, he is also a devout believer, he can talk to me...... Wise people are reasonable, and it is wrong for you to do this...... But I won't blame you for this, it's Mahmoud who is at fault first, don't worry, I will punish him......"

Reason? Ding Yi laughed when he heard this, before he attacked, before sunset, why didn't anyone come to Ding Yi and say that he wanted to be reasonable? However, Ding Yi didn't argue with the city lord about these things, and he didn't come to petition: "You're right, Da Ming is reasonable." His words made the city lord breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard Ding Yi say again, "I hope this kind of thing will not happen again in the future, do you agree with me?" ”

"Of course, of course!" The city lord was overjoyed, and nodded again and again, "I promise ......"

"I don't need your assurance." Ding Yi took out the map and said to the city lord, "I believe you have a more detailed map here, please take it out." I ask to lease this side street, including the buildings on both sides of this street, as the concession of the Ming Dynasty, I do not intend to encroach on the land bound by the wooden bones, as long as the lease is fifty years. Within the boundaries of this street, the laws of the Ming Dynasty will be used, and the soldiers and officials who are bound by the wooden bones must apply to us if they need to enter, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war......"

The city lord didn't hesitate for too long, he just nodded and agreed after thinking about it, and ordered his cronies around him to draft documents, this side street is not big, only less than 100 meters, for the city lord, even if he really leases this side street to Ding Yi, it is not a big deal, for this city that is larger than Guangzhou Mansion.

Moreover, no matter how much commitment there is, it also requires strength to maintain, a declaration of war?

What a ridiculous threat! The city lord felt that as long as this night passed, tomorrow he would arrest Ding Yi and his gang and impose the most cruel punishment! His subordinates quickly drafted the documents for the concession and used the seal, and Morena read it and nodded to Ding.

After signaling Guo Jin to put away the concession paperwork, Ding Yi said to Morena: "You have to do that thing, only you can do that thing here." The latter nodded, and before it got dark, she had been involved in the development of the plan, and she knew exactly what she was going to do. Ding Yi said to the city lord, "You have to give a token, otherwise, the army in the city will not believe my words, I know very well that there are not many literate people in your army, and even fewer people can read this document, right?" You have to give me the token. ”

After getting the city lord's scimitar as a token, Ding Yi handed it to Morena, who rushed out quickly under the escort of Bulgari, and Ding Yi politely said to the city lord in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty: "In this way, the student takes his leave and stays." Then he walked out of the door, Guo Jin followed behind Ding Yi, threw out two grenades emitting green smoke, and quickly closed the door.

"Sir, what's next?" Amid the explosion of grenades in the room, amid the screams, Guo Jin asked Ding Yi.

"Learn Arabic well, take a few people, blend in with the city guards, whether it is throwing money or showing personal ability, and do your best to master your own power...... Then, learn how people run a huge city. This is our first step out of the Indian Ocean. (To be continued......)
