Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 443 Attack on Arabian Fort
This group of tribal people is not generally backward, and they are surprised when they see an iron pot or a porcelain plate.

After eating fried dishes a few times, I was even more amazed.

For the sake of safety, no one took care of them for the first half month, just let them go to the wasteland with hoes to dig indiscriminately.

Gongsun Sheng looked at the tribal people from a distance, and asked: "Brother, what are we doing with this group of tribal people? Compared with Nanyang Shengfan, they are too weak, and they are far from being able to compare with Nanyang Shengfan."

"They cannot be compared with Nanyang Shengfan, but they are familiar with the jungle and can be used as guides. And we need allies, not enemies everywhere. This is the purpose of attracting them." Chailin said.

A few days later, the army arrived at the port, and six thousand grenadiers came down from the ship one by one with weapons.

The five hundred artillerymen led by Li Ying also arrived.

In the evening, the port camp discussed matters.

Chailin pointed to the sheepskin map and said, "This is Pujia's Arabian Fort in the northwest corner. It's only forty miles away from us. The road is flat. We'll go to Ganping here tomorrow."

Li Kui said: "After a long time of trouble, our bombing battalion was transferred here to fight a fortress of people from the Western Regions. I thought it was a big battle. It's all right, you don't need to worry about it. I will lead people to take it down directly."

Gongsun Sheng said: "This is unusual. These people from the Western Regions have recruited a large number of Nanyang natives. Their bows and arrows are highly poisonous, and injury is equal to death."

Li Kui was so angry that he didn't say a word. Whenever he was not injured in a battle, he died as soon as he was injured. This is scary enough.

"Tomorrow's arrangement is very simple. Fifty [-]-caliber artillery pieces will be mobilized from the fleet. Li Ying's [-] artillery pieces will follow closely behind. The task of the [-] grenadiers is to protect the artillery pieces. After taking down the Arabian Fort , and then charge in to wipe out the remnants of the enemy." Chailin arranged.

Everyone nodded to show their understanding.

There was nothing to say all night, and at noon the next day, Chailin led an army to the east of the Arabian Fort, and it stopped seven or eight hundred meters away.

The Arabs have giant crossbows that can shoot 600 meters, and a small number of catapults with a terrifying range.

The court of the Song Dynasty is somewhat absurd. It set up a county in Penghu, but the huge Ryukyu Island is regarded as a wild land, and it is really ridiculous that it does not come to manage it.

The Pu family is a big cannibal. They have been doing business in Quanzhou for more than [-] years. They mainly deal in spices, horses, porcelain, and silk. They have made huge profits and own a mansion in Quanzhou.

Due to the fact that they were not so free under the control of the imperial court, they had to focus on the opposite Ryukyu Island. This is how the Arabian Fort was built.

When the Marine Corps arrived here and found the Arab Fort and the tens of thousands of acres of rice fields it had reclaimed, Chailin became angry and issued an order that the Arab Fort must be captured and the enemy wiped out.

This Arabian fort is very huge, covering an area of ​​more than 150 mu, all of which are made of stone, and it took decades to complete the construction.

Through the binoculars, Chailin watched the Arabian Fort carefully. There were many swords and guns on the wall, and the huge crossbow arrows were ready.

This is a strong enemy, much stronger than the soldiers of the imperial court.

As soon as Chailin beckoned, fifty naval guns were ready.

"Get ready, light the fire."

The first round was solid bullets, and iron balls like small melons flew all over the sky.

Boom boom boom, the impact point is not bad, most of them landed in the city, but very few landed directly on the city wall.

And because of the construction of huge stones, the effect is very unsatisfactory.

The person in charge of the naval artillery was annoyed, and said: "Shout, the bastard's shell is still quite hard. Change to the shell and hit it hard."

"Yes."

The gunner cleaned the barrel with a gun brush and reloaded.

When they fought again, the power increased greatly, and more than a dozen crossbows on the city wall were overturned by the explosive bullets.

"Good fight." Chailin praised, waving his fist.

In the Arabian Fort, Pu Geng, the head of the Pu family, is cursing people there.

"Oh, hell, what kind of weapon is this? It can hit two miles. Why haven't we seen it before."

The housekeeper said: "This is the artillery of the Song Dynasty, and the Tokyo Imperial Army has it. When it hits, the world will collapse. But don't worry, our castle is very strong."

The giant crossbows and catapults on the city wall were hidden and pushed down.

Chai Lin sent an order to change the incendiary bomb.

The incendiary bomb is filled with kerosene and sugar, so it will never go out when it burns.

The castles of the Arabs are indeed strong, and the 120-caliber artillery is not enough to shake them, so they have to change the shells.

After only one round of fifty shells hit, the castle was already billowing with smoke.

Smoke is far more powerful than fire.

"Keep fighting, don't stop."

Every few minutes, dozens of shells would fly into the Arab fortress. Although the distance was far away, screams could still be heard.

Zou Run said: "It's really refreshing. These Nanyang students are too disgusting. They run faster than dogs, and their bows and arrows are poisonous. Let's see what you do."

Played a dozen rounds all the time.Almost half an hour later, the smoke from the Arabian fortress was too heavy.

The city gate opened, and about [-] people rushed out.

Dozens of cavalry led the way, followed by hundreds of camel cavalry.Behind are more than [-] Nanyang students.

In the city can only be burned to death, there is a chance of survival in the charge.

When Chai Lin saw the enemy rushing out, he immediately responded with all his strength, and the messengers sent orders frequently.

The naval artillery changed the shotguns, and Li Yingbu had one hundred honeycomb guns and one hundred Crouching Tiger guns ready.

The opposite side began to charge, first the whining trumpet sounded, and the cavalry and infantry advanced slowly.

When I reached about 500 meters, I suddenly accelerated.

Especially the Arabian horse and camel cavalry at the front ran fast.

Gongsun Sheng was well-informed and had never seen such a strange camel before. He said, "Brother, if you capture this camel, give me one."

"It's hard, I can't survive under the artillery."

The officer kept yelling: "Don't fire, hold on tight, get closer and shoot."

At 200 meters, the naval gun opened fire, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the steel ball hit it with a buzzing sound.

The leading cavalry fell to the ground like harvested wheat, and none of the dozens of cavalry remained.About half of the camel cavalry fell.

Nanyang Shengfan, who was wearing only underpants, was also partially disabled.

The naval guns retreated quickly, and a hundred honeycomb guns fired first.

The sound was continuous, quickly harvesting the enemies with bows and arrows.

These freshmen were terrified, and turned around and ran away one by one.

"Pursue."

Li Kui led [-] soldiers from the bombing battalion in quick pursuit, but unfortunately they were wearing heavy armor and ran slower, far less fast than the students who only wore underpants.

Li Kui ran sweating and said, "This is the first time I see an enemy running so fast. It's really fast. It's like a rabbit."

These strangers did not enter the castle, but went west around the castle. More than a thousand people ran forward for five or six miles, and they were about to enter the woods.

Suddenly, there was a burst of firecrackers in front of him, and the crackling sound of firecrackers, and the students were beaten to pieces.
