1054 The Little Man Who Jumps Over the Wall Part 2
At dawn, the Southeast fleet appeared in the Jubaile port opposite the sea area.
The military and civilians there did not expect that the Southeast Army would advance overnight. When they saw the masts rising in the sea, the city was in chaos!
Shortly after they received the news, the retreating and returning ship officers and soldiers had just finished talking about the situation, and the enemy was about to arrive.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the city and there were not many troops on the dock. Seeing that the situation was not good, it was not bad. There were many livestock in the city, so they fled on horses and camels, and some people also fled on boats.
The Southeast fleet drove straight into the city, and the Marines landed directly on their docks. No one fired or fired guns at them, as if they were in a no-man's land.
Soon, the Clippers reported: "Nine out of ten rooms in the city are empty, and those who have not escaped are all poor people. There is not much in the warehouse, and they can't find any money!"
Aha, the work of Ottoman officials was so effective that they had scraped all the land long ago, and the warehouse was no exception. They resold all the supplies and put them in the bag safely.
This is the legendary "drifting or not". The materials were not taken away by the officials, but by the Southeast Army!
Although Jubaile City is the home port of the Persian Gulf fleet, there is no gain in people, money and things. The Southeast Army still picks out bones from eggs. They completely destroy the ship repair yard by the sea. Where the ship repair and repair equipment can be taken away, the ship repair equipment that cannot be taken away will be destroyed, and the things that cannot be destroyed will be thrown into the sea.
It took only two hours to completely scrap the Jubaile Port City. Before the Southeast Fleet left, it burned down two unfinished gunboats on the ship platform. The flames ignited the sky. The Southeast Army clapped and said, "What a big torch!"
After leaving Jubaile Harbor City, the Southeast Fleet didn't say much nonsense and rushed to Fau's Harbor City, the pearl of the Persian Gulf!
"Start up!" Cheng Yu shouted. The captains of each ship knew that Jubaile Port was nothing, and the Fau Port City was the top priority!
The ships set sail and speeded up. They tried their best to rush to the harbor city within a few hours after the urgent Turkish ships arrived at the port city.
Everyone is sailing boats, and the Turks are not good at sailing. Although they have been ahead for a while, they have not set a distance for too long.
When the mast of the Southeast fleet rose in the sea, the alarm bell of the Fau Harbor City sounded!
Hearing that the pagan fleet arrived, the city was in panic. On the roads out of the city and going into the inland, the crowds were like kingless bees, covering the entire ground. The black crowds of people outside the city rolled and rushed forward, and carriages, ox carriages, camels, and various livestock were loaded with boxes, luggage, furniture, children and women brought from the city. People competed for the road, crowded together, and the passage was completely blocked, causing people's fear and wrath.
Especially on a bridge on the road, in order to seize the road, a terrible battle occurred on the bridge, tearing and pushing, and a cart of animals was overturned into the river and a desperate battle started.
The bridge is usually smooth, but at this time it seems that it is just a thin line, and it is not able to withstand the support and impact of so many people, horses, and vehicles. Jie has an invisible force, which squeezes tens of thousands of people and so many things in the city into this narrow path.
Some places were on fire, and some people started robbing the streets without fear of death, and the city defense force shot and suppressed them.
Sanjakbey, the city chief Max Oud, was so anxious that he regretted it!
If I had known that Fau Port City was so hot, he would not have taken this position if he had beaten to death!
He came to Fau Port City to investigate and deal with the inaugural Sanjakbey and took over as Sanjakbey, responsible for local affairs. In fact, he spent a lot of money to be able to take charge of this trading city. He was the end of the year when the Chinese "returned to their hometown for the New Year" and the trade did not start. He waited for the Chinese to return after the spring and plundered them to make a fortune.
I waited for the Chinese merchants to come back, but I waited for the Chinese fleet.
A bolt from the blue: the main fleet of the Ottoman Empire stationed in the Persian Gulf has been defeated, most of the ships were destroyed, the main general Imlampasha was killed, and Masoud couldn't help but turn black.
It was thanks to the existence of this fleet that Sanjakbey, who served as the former Falau Port City, swallowed up all the military expenditures sent by the court to Falau Port City.
Of course, it’s not true that they have completely swallowed this money. They have to share the profits and bribe the upper class. Everyone will share the accounts and establish a
The court asked them to establish a new fleet, but over the years, the fleet was still the pitiful paddle-trowning ships that were not many, and there were not even a few artillery pieces, ready to fight hand-to-hand combat;
But the Ottoman fleet, which had a large number of artillery, had been defeated!
The court asked them to build a fort to prevent the enemy at sea, but over the years, the location of the fort was still a wasteland, always leveling the land without any shadow of artillery.
In other words, Faa Harbor City's defense is useless.
As for the army, the number of city defense troops was strictly controlled by the court, and there were fewer officials there to eat empty wages and swallow military expenses. There was nominal organization of 5,000 people, but in fact there were only 2,000 people, one thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry, and the infantry was musketeers.
What can I do? According to the people who fled back, the Chinese army was fully fired, and their population was so numerous that Max Oud was very scared!
He doesn't know much about it anymore, so there are not many Chinese people. As long as three thousand musketeers rushed forward, their own army was not enough for them to shoot each of them!
Without preparations, the Chinese attack is imminent!
It was too late to cram in the face of emergency. It was unrealistic for all members to mobilize and resist together in Faao Port City. Faao Port City is a trading city. People are used to making money better than fighting desperately. Moreover, those rich guys are well-informed. Many of them have already left early and run faster than anyone else, and others have no intention of resisting.
However, the timid Mesoud dared not escape. Although the Ottoman Empire was corrupt, the system was strict: the local officials were responsible for defending their territory, and all officials who lost their territory were killed without mercy.
Unless the official is well-informed and bribed high-ranking officials from all sides, such as Egyptian Governor Katabopasha, who is powerful and rich, although he lost Egypt, he escaped his life and was only a matter of dismissal. Mazoud did not have the ability of Katabopasha, and he was so anxious that he became angry. Then the corner of his mouth tilted, his eyes slanted, his saliva flowed down, and he fell to the ground cleanly.
"Not good, sir, I'm sick!" his follower said in panic.
Lord Sanjakbey suffered a stroke and was unable to take matters. Well, the city defense matter to resist the enemy's invasion was handed over to the acting military commander of the Port City, "Bash", that is, the leader Ihasan.
"You are the supreme commander!" said the civil servant of the city lord's mansion to Ihasan.
Ihasan cursed in his heart: You have taken all the benefits, so I will leave the beheading to me!
