Chapter 1309 Prelude to the General Attack

"Your team captures the street on the right, and prepares to stop the pirates who escaped from the port. The rest will follow me to seize the palace!" Sun Chuanting led the army over the city wall. They were like heavenly soldiers, and the pirate defenders on the earthen wall were easily defeated. .

The pirates fled to the city, and the raid team was in full swing in the city!
When the vicious pirates saw the professional soldiers with muskets, they hid in the mud houses one after another, while the pirates on the street would be driven or shot to death by the soldiers.

When they saw a group of musketeers dressed as Arabs coming in, they felt strange. When did they offend the Arabs?

There were only a dozen pirate guards left in Pasha's palace, and there were Pasha's women inside. Most of the troops had been transferred to defend the port.

Sun Chuanting's surprise attack team failed to capture Pasha Murat in the palace, and Murat was at the coastal defense fort with his guards.

"You can't even see a piece of gold or silver in the palace. It stands to reason that a big pirate like Murat should have countless gold and silver treasures. They are all women who have been spoiled by Murat." Pirate Jansson said. People copied the pasha's palace, but did not find the astonishing wealth.

"If I were Pasha, if the city might be captured, I would definitely put all the gold and silver treasures in the safest place in advance, which is the strongest Penon Fortress here." Merchant Luit pointed out A fortress with artillery was erected on the top of the mountain.

"You are such a shrewd guy." Sun Chuanting found several pasha's women from the pasha's palace, and the only valuable thing was their jewelry.

"I'm just thinking about it according to the way of normal people." Luyter copied the palace of the legendary great pirate chief, looking a little excited.

"We haven't been able to take down Fort Penion yet, it's time to ambush the returning pirates!" Sun Chuanting left the captured palace with a group of soldiers dressed as the Arab Empire army.

"Hey, don't you want these girls and jewelry?!" Pirate Jansson saw that Sun Chuanting and others captured the palace and began to move towards the fort by the sea. A beautiful woman that pirates raided from various countries.

"Later, let them give me these women as trophies." Yang Song swallowed, and followed Sun Chuanting to leave the palace.

In order to cause panic among the pirates in Algiers, the army led by Sun Chuanting also set fire to several houses, so that the pirates in the port could see the black smoke in the city.

"Someone, someone attacked the city!"

The pirates stationed on the coast originally planned to fight the United Fleet head-on, but when they found that their rear was on fire, their hearts fluttered!

The city has their property, food, and women. If the city is captured, the pirates in the port will be out of food.

"How could an indigenous tribe dare to attack us in Algiers? Aren't they afraid of our revenge?!" Murat was furious when he saw his lair being attacked from behind. He thought it was the nearby Arabs or Berbers The tribes attacked them.

"Could it be that the Europeans and the Chinese came from the land?" Amur said.

"Impossible! There is no other beach suitable for landing except our Algiers. Even if they land, they will not be able to find their way and supply!" Murat couldn't imagine where the army that was attacking the city at the moment came from. of!
"Lord Pasha, I will lead a troop to rescue the defenders in the city!" Seeing the critical situation, Amur planned to divide his troops and go back to the Fangcheng District.

boom!A shell fell near them, killing the two pirates on the spot!
Murat, Amur and the others, who were urgently discussing countermeasures, were frightened by the sudden drop of solid bullets.

They hurriedly looked in the direction of the sea. At this time, the United Fleet had already launched a general offensive, and the battleships and frigates were firing shells towards the fort!

Although it is difficult to destroy the cannon on the fort with the accuracy of a smoothbore gun on the undulating waves, the dense shells are a huge threat to the pirate gunners and soldiers on the fort, and pirates are constantly being killed by shells , which seriously affected their reloading of artillery to fight back.

"The enemy's ships are approaching us, and the enemy has begun a full-scale attack!"

The pirates on the fort were completely mad, the cannons roared on the sea ahead, and a dozen ships full of soldiers took advantage of the waves and quickly approached the coast!The mountain city in the rear was full of wars, and the logistics were cut off. The pirates began to hesitate whether to stick to the fort or return to the mountain city.

"My house and property!" Some pirates who settled in Algiers were anxious about their private property. They had no intention of defending the fort and retreated to the city without authorization.

"Everyone is not allowed to retreat without permission! It is only a small group of enemies who attacked the mountain city. I will lead my troops to encircle them. If the fort loses our fate will be even worse!" Murat was anxious. If he gave up holding on to the fort, he would be killed. In the arms of the enemy!

The enemy's large army is not in the rear, but in the sea in front of us!

Murat asked the guards to keep the pirates tightly in the port, but the number of pirates temporarily hired to defend the port was several times that of the guards, and the soldiers of the guards could not stop the pirates who were constantly fleeing.

Amur was assigned 1500 troops by Pasha to return to the mountain city of Algiers for reinforcements.

Some pirates fled and returned to the city to help the city, and the troops on the fort seemed a little powerless.

"Take down the fort and save our knights!"

Castella, the grand master of the Knights of Malta, led the members of the Knights to brave the muskets and cannons on the fort, and they attacked the fort under the guidance of the standard bearer's octagonal cross flag.

In recent years, the Knights of Malta have been captured by Barbary pirates as captives and slaves.

The members of the fanatical knights rushed to the front, and attracted many pirates' muskets, and some members of the knights fell down from time to time.

The marines of the Fourth Fleet and the infantry of the Far West Dispatch Army were even more skilled in combat. They were equipped with breech-loading muskets.Their muskets are more accurate than those used by the Knights of Malta, and after rigorous training, pirates are constantly being killed by muskets!

In contrast, the performance of the militia temporarily recruited by the Royal Navy Fleet was much worse. They lacked officers who were good at fighting, and the performance of the militia was timid. A strong attack, unlike the Huaxia army, which relies on firepower and marksmanship to suppress the defenders, can only hide under the fort and shoot symbolically, and the hit rate is impressive.

"The Chinese are regular professional soldiers. The Knights of Malta compete with the Ottoman Empire and Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean all year round... Our British militia is really hard to describe..." Sir Pennington and the Earl of Stratford observed through binoculars The performance of his soldiers shrinking on the beach made the old face blush.
