Chapter 528: Weeping Marlin Needs You
Niu Yaowu didn't think it was necessary to mobilize all the seven or five mountain guns brought by the fleet. It's just an appetizer for landing in Europa, and now it's like a great enemy, and there's no need.
To put it arrogantly, does Europa have an army that can withstand the bombardment of mountain artillery? Perhaps, then we have to watch.
Five 75 mountain cannons lined up and aimed at the city of Altiga, which was built at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. Chang Yuchen looked coldly at the stone building on the opposite side, and waved the small red flag in his hand: "The arrow towers on both sides of the target city gate, one delayed fuse and three high-explosive shells are fired rapidly, and the cannon is fired!" "Woohoo!
First two high-explosive rounds, followed by a delayed fuse, followed by a high-explosive round. Chang Yuchen didn't let the gunner test fire and calibrate the trajectory, anyway, it wasn't much worse, and he didn't need to shoot accurately, and it was effective if he fell in the range.
The strength of the 75 Mountain Artillery lies in the rate of fire, which is conducive to field warfare, rather than accurate shooting. But again, compared to the artillery of this era, he is already equivalent to having the accuracy of a sniper rifle.
Not to mention the mortars that Hua Houwei made with all his conscience, he even came up with the 75 rapid-fire guns that were far ahead of the times, which was simply hitting an elephant with a nuclear bomb!
Altiga's turret was hit by two high-explosive shells, and while it was not paying attention, the high-explosive projectile with a delayed fuse that followed it plunged headlong into the tower's body.
The simple timer clicked through the body of the projectile, and after half a minute, boom, exploded! Unfortunately, like the tragic Enlix, Paulus was killed by his own combat experience.
He always thought that the arrow tower was the safest place, which could not only show his bravery as a pioneer, but also actually ensure the safety of his life.
It's a pity that the unreasonable Ming Empire directly collapsed the arrow tower with weapons far ahead of the times, and buried Paulus alive on the spot!
The first round of shelling blew up the arrow tower, Chang Yuchen didn't intend to stop, and continued to order: "Five rapid-fire, the same target, all high-explosive shells!" "Woohoo!
Boom Boom! The explosions continued, and the Merck Knights completely collapsed! Oh, it's not accurate to describe it as a crash, it should be that the Knights have completely disappeared from this world!
Whether or not there are members of the Order alive, no one will admit that he is a member of the Order! The fall of Aldiga was a round of shelling, and if the news reached Europe, everyone would think that he was a troubadour who spoke the Arabian Nights.
Weapons that span hundreds of years are not something that can be described by generational differences. Salvador came out of the dungeon unharmed, and when he learned of Paulus's tragedy, he was very emotional.
The sky-high flames attracted the attention of people on the Atlas Mountain dozens of miles away.
"Abdul, go see what's going on in Aldiga?"
"Yes, Dear Sharif Mohammed." Sharif looked at Aldiga in the distance with thick smoke billowing from his mind, and countless thoughts flashed through his heart, but they were dispelled one by one.
This is Marin, and no one has this strength, except for Spain and Portugal, to take Altiga.
Could it be the infighting between Spain and Portugal? It's also unlikely. In the midst of his thoughts, his followers looked for the civilians who had escaped from Aldiga, and after asking about the situation, they came back and reported: "Sharif, Aldiga has been attacked by strangely dressed foreigners, they have a weapon of the gods that can release huge fireballs, and the city of Aldiga was destroyed by this weapon!" Sharif was stunned and subconsciously said, "This is impossible!" That's the Knights of the Counts of Merck of Portugal! How could it have failed so badly? After calling the escaped civilian, and questioning him in detail for a long time, Sharif finally ascertained the fact that there were powerful foreigners in Aldiga.
That's good! The Sultan of the Marin dynasty, Bourtukali, was incompetent, and the Spanish and Portuguese were aggressively encroaching on Marin's territory, and Muslin had to unite in order to defend his territory.
Sharif immediately decided: "Go!" Go and find those powerful foreigners, who are not necessarily more greedy than the Portuguese! Hua Houwei took his two little cheetahs and walked Dada into the Aldiga Governor's Palace.
Although it is a little shabby, it is also better than the more shabby houses outside. After a while, Niu Yaowu walked in happily: "Lord Wang, this place is good, there is a lot of gold, and three thousand taels have been recorded!" Hua Houwei sighed, and then lowered his head and fiddled with the little cheetah under his feet.
Niu Yaowu suddenly said: "Lord Wang, we have confiscated the family property of the gangsters who dare to resist the righteous army, and we will distribute it to other ordinary people in a while!" Hua Houwei laughed twice: "Yaowu, that's right!" But one thing to note, the real thing here is real estate! Well, it's all the land, the shops, the minerals, well, in short, we have to divide the valuable things, and we can't let the people of Aldiga suffer! Oh, of course, these jobs always cost a drop, so some less important things, like the golden dinar or something, can be used as our office costs. You see, how generous and benevolent the Ming is, remember, in the future, such a policy will be implemented in Europa, so that the vast number of European people can benefit! The righteousness was awe-inspiring, and the words were solemn and happy, and someone came in to report: "Lord, there is a guy who claims to be Sharif or something, and he wants to see the prince." Hua Houwei sneered: "No! I have to see any cat and dog, I will be tired to death! When the soldier turned to leave, Hua Houwei suddenly stopped him again: "Wait! Jia San, let's call in, I know that I will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and I am still very cautious. "Sharif walked into the former governor's palace and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth, fiddling with two young cheetahs.
He bowed respectfully towards Hua Houwei: "Respected foreigner, I am the Mousselin Sharif Mohammed of Marin. Hua Houwei sighed, raised his eyelids and looked at the Arab who couldn't see his age: "Okay, explain your intention." Well, for your boldness, Salvador, tell him who I am! Salvador said proudly: "Sharif, you are facing a great empire in the far east that is powerful enough to destroy the entire Europe, the only brother of the emperor of the Ming Empire, His Royal Highness King Wu, the prince of the Ming Dynasty!" Hua Houwei waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated, Sharif, I'm afraid that the Ming Empire is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, and it took me four months to sail here." Saying so much, it means that Da Ming is not interested in Marin, but Da Ming is not afraid of any provocation! Sharif happily bowed to Hua Hou Wei again: "The great Prince of the Ming Empire, Sharif just wants to do something for the people of Marin" Hua Hou Wei interrupted him unceremoniously: "For example? Sharif calmly said: "For example, drive out the despicable invaders, such as Portugal and Spain!" Hua Houwei nodded: "Okay, then what do you want to do?" Sharif finally said his thoughts: "Please give the Ming Empire support to the people of Marin!" Hua Houwei blinked, and suddenly laughed: "Sharif, I made it very clear just now that Da Ming has no interests here. In that case, why do I have to help you, help Marlin? Sharif said word by word: "The Ming Empire will reap Marin's friendship." Hua Houwei shook his head: "Impossible!" Sharif, this is war, not a playhouse. There will be bloodshed, and countless people will die! Although the Ming Empire is powerful, it is impossible to help others for no reason. We've never fought for ourselves! Sharif gritted his teeth and took out a map: "Dear Prince of the Ming Empire, if, I mean if, if the Ming Dynasty helps Marin drive out Portugal and Spain, then here, Septe Ceuta, can be ceded to the Ming Empire as a bridgehead into the Mediterranean!" Hua Houwei took the map and looked at it carefully and laughed.
Isn't this just across the Strait of Gibraltar? This map is worth a lot of money, well, I'll have to fight Spain once anyway, so promise him.
"Sharif, I can grant your request. However, the standard of implementation is not for you to have the final say! Well, Septai Ceuta Daming accepted it, I don't need you Marin to give it, we'll get it ourselves! Hehe, don't worry, Spain and Portugal will be held back by me, as for whether Marin can take the opportunity to recover the seized land, it's up to you! Shah Ismaili of Safavid once said to me that pearls will not help the people who will only wait. I'm giving you this phrase! Sharif was stunned, Hua Houwei's words made him feel like he was struck by lightning.
"Won't pearls help the people who will only wait? Pearls will not help, wait, yes! Thank you, Your Excellency the Prince of the Ming Empire! You're right, the Ming Empire has helped us contain the energy of Spain and Portugal, which is already a great blessing! Thank you! You will be the most honored guest in the whole of Marin! Sharif's departing back seemed to be more determined and lighter than when he came.
Hua Houwei looked at Sharif's back and smiled meaningfully.
"Master, I'm here!" Reading the book, Hou Wei looked back and jumped up happily: "Shanqing? Damn, where did it come from? Zhu Shanqing also enjoyed Hua Houwei's concern, and laughed twice: "Master, in fact, godfather, uh, in fact, I have been shooting the Japanese army since I set off, and I have finally dropped all the nails these days, and there is nothing abnormal, don't I report to the master?" Hua Houwei's heart was moved, and Wang Zhi put a lot of thought into it for his own safety.
Needless to ask, Wang Zhi must have planted and developed a lot of eyeliner in the shooting of the Japanese army, and also made himself capable of dealing with anyone's rebellion at a critical time.
However, this kind of thing can only be done and cannot be said, so I have to pat Zhu Shanqing's back: "Shanqing, hard work!" Well, did you get a tip from Europa? ”
