Chapter 217: A Big Mouth
Chapter 217 There is a big mouth
"Attack me... I'm going to kill all those bastards and rebels!"
The loud shouts were filled with grief and anger. I believe that anyone who is brave will react like this when he sees his uncle's head falling from the sky.
The nephew of Governor Ashlever did not accept the advice of senior officials from the Aden province to lead the army to surrender. Instead, he brought four thousand riders to the gate of the fortress, and shouted loudly in front of the lattice gate, waving a scimitar, asking his soldiers to launch an attack.
In his intuition, this was another nobleman in the province who overturned the behavior of the provincial governor. At present, except for Egypt, it was still in the crusade war, the entire Arab Empire was gradually falling into a state of fragmentation.
The provinces in various places are gathering their own strength to try to organize their troops to establish their own country. The ambitions of the princes from all over the country have reduced the cohesion of the entire Arab Empire. Otherwise, how could the Mongolian cavalry easily destroy this huge country?
In order to enhance the armed strength of the Arab Empire, Saladin implemented a military feudal system that began to reveal its sharpest fangs. It was obvious that this was a system similar to the military governor in the Tang Dynasty in China.
When the Jiedushi was appointed as a commander, he was given a double flag and a double ceremonial battle, and he was able to kill military officials. When he was in charge, he built a ceremonial battle. The Jiedushi gathered the army, civilians, and wealth, and often used one person to govern two to three towns. The most were four towns, and the authority was higher than the governor of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and he was called Jiedushi at that time. Therefore, the outside was more important than the inside and the inside was less powerful, and the Anshi Rebellion was caused by the end of Tianbao.
When the military feudal system was able to implement totalitarian rule, it would inevitably lead to this "outside and light inside" situation, which was precisely the reason for strengthening centralization since the Song Dynasty.
From the overall perspective of a country, such problems often arise, but from the perspective of a military governor or the nephew of the Governor of Aden, this is a typical means of a civil servant seizing power.
At this time, the Arab Empire often had to obtain a letter of certification from a caliph Mustasin, who had no real power in the distant Baghdad, and there was no real power. This would become a successful power seizure.
"How come I didn't see their conspiracy earlier? Maybe they were in collusion with those from the sea, so I had to conquer the fortress first and then..."
The result of capturing the fortress would certainly not be to restore the rule of the dead uncle. Becoming the governor of the province of Aden is also a good choice for the governor and young nephew. Based on this idea, he waved his scimitar and decided not to cooperate with the traitors in the castle.
"Attack...kill the rebels..."
At this time, the defenders in the castle were bewitched by someone in the castle.
"It's over. That guy thinks we are all rebels and can't let him in, otherwise everyone will not survive!"
The talkative Abdul Zhemal, wearing the armor of the Mamluk cavalry, appeared in front of the Mamluk cavalry with the officers under the Governor Ashleff. He shook the bow and arrow in his hand and shouted loudly, just as the Mamluk cavalry in front of him were all his brothers.
"Hey, this is a guy who is very tempting!"
Gong Zi was standing in a passage full of blood at this moment, and some Mamluk cavalry were ordered to clean up these cruel dead bodies. Especially those who were bombed by the sky thunder, blood still flowed down from the broken armor, and a strong smell of blood filled the entire passage.
"These so-called hot weapons are really amazing. As long as the old Martin is there, it seems that the world will be the world that is so narrow-minded and staring at the little bastard!"
As for Zhao Fubo, Gong Zi Laiyan, he lacks the so-called "fighting man". But first of all, he has the blood of the Zhao family, and secondly, the support of the unfathomable Martin. Even if everyone is not happy, he has to beat the thunder in his hands, and he has to run over the Qinhuang-class warship at sea.
"Especially that was a bloodthirsty bastard. Who in the world can stop their teachers and students? But that little bastard who was staring is also good for his own people!"
Gong Zi thought a lot in her mind as she smelled the bloody smell that made her sick. However, she did not stay in the corridor for a long time, but quickly went to the hall to face the high-ranking officials of the Aden province. That was her job. Although she was a beautiful snake, she was also very scared when she looked at the bloodyness in the corridor.
"We can't let them in. When the pursuers behind them arrive, they will be finished... shoot them with arrows, don't let them in!"
Abdul Zhemal is really a guy who can bewitch people's hearts, but this guy is not inconsistent, so that no one can find his characteristics. On the contrary, only Zhao Fubo appointed him a job of purchasing slaves, which is really a way to play his strengths.
The Mamluk cavalry, who were bewitched by him, then they used bows and arrows to shoot from the walls of the fortress, or from the iron lattice gate to the outside of the fortress.
"Let's find a piece of wood, we will knock the door open. As long as we attack in, everyone will have a great reward!"
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Soon the archers outside the city began to shoot at the walls and doorways of the fortress. There were also many cavalrymen who went to get a thick wooden stake, which looked like they were planning to break the city gate below.
"Hey, you guys, just send a few people to stare at me. The rest of the people, shoot me all the loudest people under the city to death! Also, ask the defenders to throw tinder oil into the door hole... Look at you, many of you guys in armor, are you not sure that I can't tell them these things!"
Gong Zi, wearing palace makeup, appeared in the hall. Her beauty and charm made the people here lit up. They had never seen a woman more presumptuous than Gong Zi in the Arab Empire. And the soldiers in black clothes and black armor in front of them actually listened to her very much.
Yes, at this time Muke and Amina were setting up defense affairs, and there were no more people in the hall except for a few soldiers. In this way, Pu Jinshu, the person who was still shaking the fan, became a thorn in her eyes.
"Hey, boy, you are talking about you. Don't shake your big fan. Take a bow and look at these people. Whoever talks or moves will shoot him to death! The others went to the window and as I said, shooting down all the loudest outsiders!"
At this moment, Gong Zi, who had never been to the battlefield, became nervous. This was different from the trick she usually played with. Now she was facing four or five thousand people screaming outside the city. Gong Zi was just looking forward to Zhao Fubo coming here quickly, and perhaps even having time to save their lives.
Here outside the city, the nephew of Governor Ashlever commanded the battle to seize the city outside the range of the ordinary bow. He knew very well that as soon as the people who were fighting in the city were stubborn, almost all the soldiers would surrender immediately once they entered the city gate.
At that time, with the high walls and thick barriers of the fortress, you may be able to reach reinforcements from other places. If you get there, you will no longer have to worry about the two thousand black armored cavalry on the shore.
"Crash the door...Crash the door... As long as we attack, each person will receive five Dinars!"
At this time, a group of soldiers put the giant wood on a large cart, even the simplest attacking ram. The people who were pushing the giant wood on both sides covered the shields in their hands and rushed towards the gate of the iron grid fortress.
The Mamluk cavalry in the lattice gate, made of iron bars, also opened their bows and shot messy arrows outwards. It can be seen from the degree of dispersion of the arrows that they were just resisting spontaneously and without good command at all.
This made Governor Ashleff's nephew think that this was a good time to regain the family's property. His eagerness prompted him to wave his scimitar and shout desperately to boost morale. But what he did not expect was that the Amin brothers who were attracted by Gong Zi were planning to shout out to the outside of the city to attack the most fierce person.
The Lambo folding bow was opened to the extreme in the hands of the Emin brothers. The range of this pulley bow was also something that was unknown to the nephew of Governor Ashleff, who was shouting below the city. In this kind of siege, a strong bow means safety.
"Swoosh..."
The two branches were obviously thicker than other people's arrows, and the long feathers flew down from the city. The special arrow feathers made the arrows spin in the air, forming a stable and straight trajectory.
Seeing his subordinates rushing towards the fortress gate, Governor Ashleffer's nephew who was waving a scimitar, he never thought that there would be such a strong bow on the top of the city. He would never have thought that he would be accurately attacked at such a distance.
In this regard, the people of the Arab Empire were not as good as those of the Eastern nations. At least when the Mongolian army invaded, the war had just begun, and many officers of the Arab Empire fell under the arrow of the Mongolian sharpshooter.
Of course, when they shoot at a long range, they often use light arrows with weak lethality. At this point, the so-called Mongolian sharpshooters are far worse than the Amin brothers who use sniper bows. As a natural "giant", Brothers Amin, with the cooperation of the sniper bow, launched an attack at a distance of 150 meters.
The two long arrows with not very fast speed were not conspicuous in the rain of arrows coming and going from the city to the city. When Governor Ashleff's nephew discovered that two long arrows from somewhere were coming towards him, the scimitar in his hand swung out towards the flying arrow branches.
“Du…”
