Chapter 132
. "I don't think we need to attack the city. Just use the crossbows to set a few shots in the city every day. They will open the city and surrender in a few days!"
Zhao Fubo was in great enthusiasm in the early morning. He came to the city wall of the Fortress, about 00 meters away from the city, and looked at the city of Motril from here. The latest chapter of Song Qi Persian Gulf can be seen from the city's head, how panicked the people in the city were. But judging from the density of the soldiers on the wall and the defensive weapons and equipment, they did not intend to surrender.
"Aren't we siege?"
The question that Louis IX is interested in Zhao Fubo, because in the previous battle situation, the 10,000 troops led by Zhao Fubo had an absolute advantage. If it were him, he would definitely order the city of Motrill to be captured and serve as a forward base and be prepared for further attacks.
But Zhao Fubo did not think so. Motrill City is a good foothold, but it is inconsistent with Zhao Fubo's goal of conquering the entire Kingdom of Granada in a short period of time. What he was also considering was the battle between the Holy Roman army and the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in Turin near the Alps. If the battle cannot be completed as soon as possible, the situation in Turin will be greatly affected.
"Yes, my majesty, I don't think we have to attack rashly at the possibility of huge casualties, and I have a better way!"
Zhao Fubo said but did not really explain these things. Sometimes it is better to keep more mysterious on the battlefield. The ranking of urban rebirth novels was just as the two were talking, with 7,500 musketeers and 75 "reincarnation cannons" that cooperated with them. This was a very spectacular scene, which made the people of Motril City exclaim. Because those soldiers wearing the Yulin Armor series were musketeers. After they came down from the ship, they lined up in neat teams and drove towards the battlefield with their 10 reincarnation cannons.
This was not the most spectacular scene. The slaves who had to rest and have a nap for a while were carrying sandbags again and rushing to carriages that strengthened wooden stakes and rope nets. They rolled around about 300 meters below the city like a tide. The people at the top of the city wanted to stop them with stone throwers and giant crossbows.
But the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" of the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty immediately showed a different attitude. When the stone thrower, giant crossbow and other weapons on the city were named and criticized by the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" and turned into ashes, the restless defenders on the city quieted down. The complete works of Song Qi Persian Gulf, they watched helplessly. The slaves who were still brothers yesterday were now under the surveillance of musketeers, quickly established a forward base for siege.
This is different from the base on the beach, which is a camp that opens backwards. Apart from the city walls, they seem to have no more defense preparations. Instead, when up to 75 reincarnation cannons began to fire a salvo into the city, they used a tough attitude to show that they would not be afraid of anyone's attack. When they were arranged 300 meters outside Motrill, they certainly showed a tough attitude. In addition, when 75 crossbows were erected in a long line on the hem of the city, the people in Motrill had already begun to worry.
The defenders of Motril City, they looked at the neat camp of musketeers on the walls. They felt the opponent's toughness and no dream of attacking. At this moment, they only hoped for reinforcements from the capital, Granada City. Their hope was that perhaps with the help of reinforcements, they still had hope for a battle, because those are the elite troops of the capital!
What is confusing is that at this time, the 2,000 soldiers of the Song Yulin Army in the base outside the city were ordered to sleep again. Even the horses were comforted and started to rest. This incident shows that Zhao Fubo and his Song Yulin Army had more important tasks to be completed. Louis IX observed all this and wanted to feel the way of fighting these guys in front of him.
The Arabs and Europeans had different skills in fighting, and the Song Yulin Army in front of them was different from both the Arabs and Europeans. In theory, Zhao Fubo, who had an absolute advantage in the current battle situation, should take over Motrill City, then rectify the army, start to go deep into the mountain road and advance towards the capital of the Kingdom of Granada. The 50-kilometer straight line is not far, and you can arrive in up to three days.
At this time, Zhao Fubo was explaining the defense issues of Motrill Port to Muke and Zhang Qing. Obviously, he planned to lead the army to act again, and this time he did not even carry the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" that belonged to the Song Dynasty Yulin Army.
"Julianna, we have to bring grenade launchers and mines, but we don't bring crossbows. We will take advantage of the darkness tonight. Muke, Zhang Qing, when I am not around, Muke is responsible for the siege of the musketeers, and Zhang Qing is responsible for the safety of the entire forward base. Matt Harbor belongs to you, and everything must be prepared! Muke and Matt are the highest-ranking people, so you must be responsible for the whole process. If you have any questions, you two will discuss!"
Zhao Fubo could completely rest assured about the defense work of the forward base. After all, the defenders in Motril did not have the ability to attack from the city. Zhao Fubo's actions at this moment were to completely solve the entire Kingdom of Granada. According to his judgment, the Kingdom of Granada would send reinforcements to the City of Motril. After all, this is one of the centers of the sea trade of the Kingdom of Granada.
Moreover, if the threat here is not lifted, the Castile Kingdom can take the opportunity to launch an attack. Although their offensive ability is much worse than that of the "Emperor Aladdin" army that appeared here, if it attacks on both sides, it is definitely a dangerous thing. For these reasons, Zhao Fubo judged that the Kingdom of Granada would definitely send troops to rescue Motril.
And the important point is that such rescue will make them do their best to mobilize the royal defenders in the city of Granada. And if they are destroyed or defeated on the road, then it is almost certain that the problem of the Kingdom of Granada will be completely solved in a very short time. At that time, Zhao Fubo will also obtain the title of a great monarch who expels Muslims from Europe as expected.
"We don't attack the city, so how much ammunition is required to kill as many people. Sometimes there are simple means to use, so we don't have to worry about it!"
Zhao Fubo talked to Juliana who was standing side by side, but he couldn't help but Juliana was in a bad mood and ignored him.
"Okay, I'm not interested in this topic, so Juliana, can you tell me the reason? What makes you ignore me. If..."
