The small fishing boat of Agadir suddenly developed due to the thriving trade, and at the same time had excellent farming conditions, which could support a large population. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe mountains to the south block the terrible hot and dry air currents of the desert, so the climate here is also very comfortable, so it is now prosperous.

Such a city of more than 10,000 people is large enough to be called a metropolis in this part of Africa. Even by European standards, it is a very prosperous medium-sized and large city. It's a pity that it was changed to the Celestial Empire in later generations, that is, a larger township, with only a few streets in the countryside.

More than 5,000 kobolds came in the dark, and the locals barely reacted!

And when the kobold climbed over the city wall, he thought in a daze that it was the courtyard wall of a rich landlord's house. In short, the city was open to invaders as if it were undefended, and the speed of the attack was almost overwhelming.

Armed with cold weapons and a handful of muskets, the natives ran into the streets in a daze, and were knocked to the ground by thousands of kobold gunmen in the night, never knowing what was going on.

As the 'City Guards', the 'Guards of the Great Families and the Great Merchants', and the 'Civilians with Weapons Carried Out' walked up the dark streets one after another, and then lay flat on the streets without returning, the natives slowly stopped. It wasn't long before the city fell silent, except for the sporadic sound of gunfire.

Although they only controlled all the streets, and there was a castle in the distance that was not taken, the city was almost kobold. It was the first time that everyone had occupied a city so smoothly, and they were a little confused. Shouldn't the enemy resist with all his might and then get down on his knees and beg for mercy? Well, that's not bad either.

Next, it's time to attack the castle calmly.

The Portuguese are still very discerning and willing to spend money. They built a castle on the top of a hill in the north of the city, which could control the harbor to the west and overlook the whole city to the south, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, for this gentle hill, Gao Min's kobold is not under much pressure. Titanic divided five of the ten eighteen-pounder guns at the bottom of the mountain and scattered them, and one of them fired without a single shot, interfering with the judgment of the castle defenders.

Then, another team carried five cannons up the mountain from the dimensional cave, and without much effort, set up an artillery position on a hill opposite.

The small castle was only two stories tall due to its limited conditions, and it was not long enough to eat a few quick and accurate kobold shells. The commander-in-chief of the garrison, Captain Perez, was so anxious that he almost used all the power of the wilderness to pull all the artillery to the position.

Two Kofilin - this thing can also be called a snake cannon, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was called a red-coated cannon.

Four breech guns -- the Ming and Qing Dynasty tubes are called Furlong cannons.

A dozen large turtledoves - very similar to the 'dog's arquebus', only larger.

The most powerful is a stone cannon, although the barrel is only more than two meters long, but the caliber is as high as more than 300 mm, which is about to catch up with the early dreadnoughts, but the flat range of this thing is not even a kilometer, and it is completely incomparable with the cannons of hundreds of years later.

For this stone shooter, Perez had to command dozens of infantry, aiming the bulky and short gun, with the muzzle in the direction of the enemy. As for whether it will accidentally injure the houses near the enemy, then I don't care.

The kobolds shot randomly at the foot of the mountain, and the effect was mediocre. Although the artillery carriage designed by Liu Jingtian himself could adjust a large firing angle, the kinetic energy of the cannonballs became very limited, and he barely made a few small gaps in the fortifications, but they were quickly filled by the brave Portuguese soldiers.

And the Portuguese snake cannon, that is, the original version of the 'red-coated cannon', is even more powerful than the kobold's eighteen-pounder cannon. Although the caliber of these two snake cannons is slightly smaller, the length and thickness of the barrel are far greater than that of the kobold's cannon, so the accuracy and chamber pressure are far superior to the kobold. The only thing that lags behind is that they are too slow to reload and the gun carriages are very primitive.

The other 'Furlong breech guns', which are less than six pounds, are less powerful, but they can use the altitude difference to increase the firing range, so they do not fall behind in the middle of the shot.

As soon as the artillery on the fortress fired, the kobold Alexander, Frankie 'rained down like bullets', and the red-coated cannon 'fired a hundred shots', looking at the closer and closer shells around him, the kobold immediately turned into the wind, several eighteen-pound guns were extinguished one after another, and everyone ran away with the gun cart under the cover of night.

The castle on the top of the hill was now brightly lit, and the soldiers and gunners began to cheer: "The Ottomans have run away!"

Governor Francisco and the captain of the Perez guard were worried: the enemy's artillery positions were so scattered, how could they all be hit so easily?

The two looked at the dark sky, and there was nothing they could do.

At this moment, on another hill not far away, all kinds of noisy business came from the wind—a series of 'wang' sounds mixed with a series of jingling sounds.

The two were stunned for a moment, and exchanged a look: "Could it be ......?"

A few cannons rang out, and five fires broke out on the other side of the mountain, and in just an instant, a few shells landed near the 'red-coated cannon', knocking over the two poor soldiers, leaving a long blood-colored bullet mark!

"Oh no! They climbed the mountain! Damn, five cannons, how did you do that!?"

Amid the screams of the Portuguese, the five eighteen-pounder guns on the hill fired with all their might at the most dangerous enemy, the slender cannons.

On this side of the mountain, the large catapult cannon was installed on the top of the castle, and the breech gun was in the castle, and the snake cannon with an extremely long barrel had to be placed on the flat ground on the edge of the castle, otherwise it would be too difficult to load.

And this artillery position, which is next to the castle, is simply brightly lit. The kobold, who was squatting on the top of the hill a kilometer away, comfortably adjusted the direction of the cannon, and fired solid iron balls one after another, smashing the rammed earth artillery position. When the iron balls hit the ground, they jumped and screamed dangerously on the ground like stones in water, screaming and crashing into the two poor cannons, as well as the gunners beside him.

When Liu Jingtian flew up with the five cannons under the mountain, all the enemies retreated into the castle. The only two snake cannons that could threaten the kobold had been deformed. The huge catapult above the fortress is still creaking and changing direction, and I don't know when it will be able to adjust the direction.

It's a pity that the kobold won't let go of this second most threatening guy, and when the tenth cannon also joins the firing ranks, the giant cannon is also sent flying, jumping a few times on the castle, and then rolling down the hill with a roar, smashing countless flowers and plants, plus a few innocent people passing by to beat soy sauce.

In the end, the Portuguese, who were left with only a few breech guns, were unable to fire at the kobolds, so they could only huddle in the castle and tremble.

When the kobold infantry began to charge with rifles on their shoulders, the Portuguese suddenly lit several powder kegs and turned and fled to the sea......
