Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

"It was the first time that the enemy climbed the city wall on a large scale. If you hadn't arrived in time, it would have been a bit tricky. But now that the lesson has been learned, the enemy will not be so easy to succeed." Ma Hao said.

"The believers of the evil god of corruption seem to be crazy and depraved, but they are actually very cunning. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into the trap. You must learn a lesson." Princess Yongfu nodded and asked, "Are there any tricky points in terms of fighting? ?”

"Not really." Niu Zhuo said carelessly, "The firearms provided by the duke are very sharp. If the lead pellets fired by those muskets are aimed at crowded places, even one shot can penetrate two or three people!"

The muskets provided by Ma Youfu to the Ming army have technical parameters very close to those of the later Spanish musket muskets, and they are heavy muskets.The caliber of this musket has reached [-] mm, and the lead bullet used weighs [-] grams, and its kinetic energy is amazing when fired.

Because the gun is so heavy, it is also equipped with a fork base to support the gun while aiming.

Even in the face of plate armor, this kind of heavy arquebus can easily penetrate as long as the distance is right, let alone shoot those unarmored corrupt believers.

One wears two, one wears three, etc. It is indeed not Niu Zhuo's exaggeration, but something that often happens under the castle.

In fact, not only these muskets, but also the various bows and arrows used by the original Mulholland defenders of the castle can also effectively kill the unprotected cultists.

Only those relatively strong corrupted servants can rush to the bottom of the city wall after being hit by two or three arrows, and use their hands and feet together to climb up.

After the god-chosen soldier who had ascended to the devil twice was killed by Princess Yongfu, the attack of the corrupt army slowed down.The defenders of the castle also have the opportunity to take care of other things in order to prepare for the long-term defense.

Bearing the brunt of the problem is logistics.

In order to defend the Crusaders from attacking the city of Tunisia from the sea, the castle stored a lot of food, arrows, wood and other materials.And there is a well in the castle too.After several ulamas purified the well with divine magic, the problem of drinking water was also solved.

In addition, a considerable amount of gunpowder was originally stored in the castle in order to provide supplies for the Mulholland fleet that was calling at the port at any time.

However, gunpowder alone cannot provide ammunition supplies for the Great Ming Musketeers.But as it happens, there are also a large number of lead blocks stored in the castle.

These materials were originally purchased by the former Tunisian Sultan Aziz II at the beginning of the jihad, and were planned to be used to make bronze to cast new cannons.

The French artillery is so sharp that it made the English unable to lift their heads during the Hundred Years War. It is not top-secret information. Anyone who is willing to develop artillery can get some references.

It's just that as the situation developed later, Aziz II completely lay down and completely forgot about the casting of the cannon.

The melting point of lead is very low, and it is not very complicated to process lead blocks into lead bullets.Using the simple tools in the castle, you can continue to make bullets.

The only thing that cannot be produced are the grenades used by the grenadiers.

After learning about the situation in the castle, Princess Yongfu made a decision: since the evil god of corruption is very interested in her, she will use herself as a bait to stay in the castle and attract the followers of the evil god in Tunisia to attack.

She wants to use the firepower of the castle and the support of naval guns not far away to eliminate as many followers of the evil god as possible, so that the city will suffer less.

Although the evil god of corruption is sitting on his throne in the Garden of Elysium, observing this tragedy in the mortal world with great interest, he can't interfere too much.

It is not an easy task for one's own power to penetrate the space barrier and reach the main material world, even if it is a corrupt evil god.

The divine power he used to raise demons for outstanding believers before was actually produced by the corrupt believers in Tunisia when they performed various crazy and depraved behaviors.

This is called the wool coming out of the sheep.

It can be said that the evil god of corruption did not pay anything. Today, I enjoyed a big play directed by the faithful believer Maher, and had enough fun.

Therefore, Princess Yongfu is also very clear that as long as she kills as many corrupt believers as possible, she can cut off the source of corrupted divine power and bring this disaster to an early end.

"The commander-in-chief of the corrupt army has been beheaded. If the evil god of corruption does not want to waste any more power to raise demons, it can only order Mahir to command the army to attack the castle. At that time, as long as we kill the alchemist who is the culprit If you die, you're done."

…………

Maher, who was missed by Princess Yongfu, was currently under the New Carthage Fortress outside Tunisia.

He is leading thousands of heretics to besiege this fortress.

In addition to obtaining the prism magic cannon in the fort, he also had another purpose, which was to capture the new Tunisian Sultan Ziyad who was hiding in the fort at this time, as well as his nephew and heir Arum.

Let these two Tunisian nobles with noble royal blood lose their minds under their own drugs, and finally be completely controlled and reduced to slaves of desire. It must be able to greatly please the evil god of corruption.

Maher originally wanted to do this at the celebration dinner, but what he didn't expect was that his long-planned plan ended up being broken by a young man named Jafar.

When Maher passed the castle water clock and was about to let the guests in the entire hall be manipulated by drugs, and then further eroded by corrupt divine power, it was Jafar who noticed something was wrong before those imams with profound theological attainments place.

At that time, Jafar stood up suddenly and shouted a word in Siris.

Among the people present, only the princes who were closest to Jafar understood. What Jafar shouted was the three characters "Si Wuxie" from "The Analects of Confucius".

What is unexpected is that this sentence of Siris, which has nothing to do with Mulhollanism, actually allowed Jafar to build a bridge to communicate with the true god Ankabal, gain divine power, and perform high-level magic "Aura of exorcising evil spirits".

Several guests, including the Sultan and his nephew and heir, who were more resistant to the power of corruption, woke up from the illusion with the help of magic.

It's just that the illusion carefully created by Maher is extremely effective. If he can't leave the hall quickly while he is awake, he will sink again.These people have no time to help other guests.

Jafar originally wanted to wake up Princess Yongfu, but as soon as he took a step, he felt that the scene in front of him began to turbulent like water ripples, and endless mental pressure surged.

The prince stopped his plan to take further action and told Princess Jafar to make her own arrangements.

Helpless, Jafar could only give up, and then fled the palace with the Sultan and others.

At this time, the entire Tunisian city had fallen into complete chaos. While repelling the crazy cultists, a group of people gathered the citizens who were still sober—no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they have hands and feet, they are a precious weapon against evil gods. strength.

In the end, about 1000 people fled the Tunisian city.

Under Jafar's suggestion, the group finally decided to go to the New Carthage Fort first.

After Princess Yongfu's Ming army withdrew, there were still many refugees who had escaped from Jazhail living there.Princess Yongfu even kept many old and worn-out weapons in her original arsenal.

Occupy the fortress of New Carthage and quickly organize manpower for defense, only then can there be a chance of survival.Otherwise, relying on two legs to run in the desert like this, there will be no way out.

Then, amidst the chaos, Maher arrived with the cultists.

Chapter 530: Fight or Surrender

After all, Maher is a senior senior corrupt servant and the chief planner of this incident, so he is naturally much more prepared.When attacking the fortress of New Carthage, he had already prepared various simple siege equipment, including ladders, battering rams, and even a torsion trebuchet.

Moreover, the cultists whom he corrupted with drugs and then controlled were better equipped. At least everyone had a shield, and some elites were also equipped with leather armor or simple lath armor or chain mail.

In contrast, in the fortress of New Carthage, there were only about a hundred Tunisian soldiers who had undergone basic military training.Moreover, these soldiers were still old, weak, sick and disabled after the main force was buried in the second Zama Battle.

Other civilians can only issue a symbolic weapon and stand on the city wall to fill up the number of people.

What's more terrible is that Sultan Ziad and his dear heir nephew are still free to fight for power and profit at this time, and they often issue some contradictory orders, which confuses the subordinates and causes all kinds of chaos.

In this case, Maher immediately ordered his subordinates to attack.

The most elite cultists first took out the alchemy potion that Maher had distributed in advance from their belts, and drank it all in one gulp.

This alchemical potion allows warriors to fight without fear of death and pain.

A total of [-] heretics who drank the alchemy potion took the lead in charging with ladders, climbed up to the city wall of the fortress in one fell swoop, and killed a group of citizens who had just picked up their weapons less than an hour ago.

Seeing that the first wave of the enemy's attack was about to capture the fortress, Sultan Ziad led his guards to go into battle in person to stop the cult vanguard.Although this fourth uncle has a big belly and is no longer as brave as he used to be, he still has to participate in the hunting activities in autumn every year, and Wude has not been completely abandoned.

When his nephew Arum saw that his uncle was on the scene, he was not to be outdone, and followed closely behind with his guards, fighting with the cultists.

Coupled with the continuous use of divine magic by the Ulema, in the end, all the cultists were beheaded on the city wall, blocking the first wave of attacks and stabilizing the situation.

Seeing this, Maher under the city was not in a hurry.

He has a lot of cannon fodder under his command, and he has sufficient reserves of various alchemy potions, so he can create a fearless army at any time.

Just when the time came to the "sacred moment" of 12:[-]:[-] in the middle of the night, Maher launched a second attack.

This time, the attacking cultists became more fierce under the blessing of the alchemy potion, and the defenders were effectively organized after getting through the initial chaos.

The battle was more intense than before.

Maher spent all his time observing the changes in the battle situation, one eye was fixed on the fortress wall where the shouts of killing kept coming and going, and the other eye was empty.

He is using the soul link to bet his eyes on the meat puppet far away in the palace.

Then Maher's meat puppet saw Princess Yongfu and Valentina who came to the garden.

Satisfied, Maher, who thought everything was under control, decided to show off in front of the two of them.Believers of the evil god of corruption must not only achieve the most perfect victory, but also enjoy enough fun in the process of victory, so as to please the master they believe in to the greatest extent.

Moreover, he could delay the time by the way, waiting for Zhao Guangming to arrive.

But soon, with a gunshot in the palace garden, Maher's confidently curved lips were suddenly opened wide in surprise, and the eye linked to the meat puppet's sight regained its spirit again, but But it was instantly congested with blood, turning red and extremely ferocious.

As if he had been electrocuted, he suddenly sat paralyzed on the ground, his face turned pale, his whole body was cold, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

This is the sequelae left by the soul being severely injured after the meat puppet was eliminated.

Maher was in a terrible mood at this time, pouring all the vicious curses on Zhao Guangming's head in his heart.

He couldn't understand why this servant, who was firmly controlled by his alchemy medicine, didn't obey the order, arrived at the palace garden within the stipulated time, and then joined hands with his meat puppet to attack Princess Daming.

It took a long time for Maher to gradually recover from the severe injury.

At this time, his strength was greatly reduced, and his control over the cultists under his command was not as strong as before.

Maher ordered the attack on the New Carthaginian fortress to continue.But this time, the attack seemed a little weak, and even just climbed up the city wall, it was blocked by the enemy.

He scolded his subordinates angrily, but those cultists controlled by drugs were not as obedient as before.There were even a few strong cult members who dared to refute Maher, and began to show some malice in his eyes.

This is the nature of corrupting evil god believers. Concepts such as "sincere unity" never existed in their brains.They will only succumb to their strength and authority, and once they have the opportunity, dramas such as internal fighting and defeating the superior will continue to be staged.The evil gods of corruption also take pleasure in killing each other among their believers, and often even give generous rewards to those victors in the internal fighting.

Seeing the military gradually lose control, this is not the worst thing.

At this moment, Maher could feel that in the dark, the great existence watching him in the sky seemed to have moved his eyes to pay attention to the battle situation in other places.

He is losing the favor of the evil god, which makes Maher extremely terrified.

He knew that he had to take down the New Carthage Fortress as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

It's just that it is not easy to capture this strong fortress that has been mobilized by force alone, and it will take a lot of time.

Maher decided to try to persuade him to surrender, to see if he could make the pair of uncles and nephews succumb to him in the face of the temptation of power and the fear of death.

He walked under the fort, stood outside the range of the bow and arrow, cast a loudspeaker spell on himself, and shouted: "Sultan Ziyad, and Prince Arum, stop making unnecessary resistance. Surrender now!" !"

"God Ankabal, I will never give in to your evil minions!" Ziad shouted on the city wall.

"I am a devout believer of the true God, the guardian of Tunisia, how can I compromise with a lunatic like you who is trying to destroy this great city?" Arum was not to be outdone.

Seeing that the two were tougher than the other, Maher naturally couldn't show his timidity. He raised his hands high and said in a cadence: "Your so-called true god Ankabal is worth nothing in front of the power of our Lord! He can't save you! I have loyalty. As for the fearless army, you are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and combat power. How can you resist? Your persistence is meaningless, and it is only delaying the arrival of the moment of destruction. If you surrender now, let go of your body and mind, and accept the power of our Lord , then you will be reborn!

I promise that you can create a brand new country in Tunisia, where you can release your nature, indulge in pleasure, and experience the ultimate pleasure!Wouldn't such a day be happier than being a vulgar mortal? "

Ziad and Arum looked at each other, with hesitation in their eyes.

It's not that they are willing to degenerate themselves and become servants of corrupt evil gods.Rather, the strength contrast between the two sides is indeed too great.Just now Maher didn't know why, as if he was suddenly disconnected, he didn't command the army, which gave the fortress defenders a chance to breathe.

But if the fight continues, the New Carthage Fortress will be captured sooner or later.

At this time, Jafar who was standing behind the two suddenly said: "Your Highness, don't lose hope! We are not fighting alone, we still have reinforcements!"

"Where is the reinforcement you mentioned? Could it be Princess Siris?"

"The city of Tunisia is so chaotic, it's uncertain whether she can escape the palace smoothly..."

Seeing that the attitude of the two of them was becoming more and more hesitant to resist, Jafar quickly said: "No, I am not referring to Her Royal Highness, but the Duke of Baal!"
