Chapter 2212: Capture Maputo
Cape Town is located on the west coast of South Africa. It is an important port city. The port has wide water depth and can park a large number of large ships. It has complete facilities for loading and unloading. There is also a shipyard to repair ships.
The ships crossing the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean pass the Cape of Good Hope after being supplied and inspected here, while the ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean from the Indian Ocean rest here after experiencing the Cape of Good Hope wind and waves. The importance of Cape Town can be imagined.
When the Chinese took control of Cape Town, it was tantamount to cutting off the white skin's direct route across the Indian Ocean.
Admiral Cabot set up his combat headquarters in Cape Town, and supply ships continued to arrive, building fortresses, expanding cities, and collecting supplies there.
Marine Lieutenant General Yan Le left Cape Town, crossed the Cape of Good Hope again, and reached the east coast of Africa.
As a result, he suffered from the storm. Although he is a veteran, he was amazed by the storm at the Cape of Good Hope.
He described in his logbook: "Dark clouds are dense and continuous. The blue sky and stars are rarely seen during the voyage. The westerly wind blows strongly all day long. The swirling clouds are flying eastward, and the sea is like a boiling pot. In general, the roaring waves collide with the ship’s side from time to time, and the roaring roars shock everyone's soul, and I don't know when to be safe."
He also saw the appearance of "killing waves". The front part of this wave is like a cliff, and the back part is like a gentle hillside. The wave height is generally 15-20 meters!
Sometimes the ship is between two "killing waves", both sides are pressed like a wall, and people are frightened to see it.
Yan Le then said to the left and right: "Your Majesty, wise and martial artist, if he orders the invasion of South Africa early, the loss of our navy and crew will be incalculable!"
It was said that they had passed the Cape of Good Hope and made sufficient preparations. As a result, two ships sank, and the rest of the ships had to rest on shore after they passed by!
At this time, there are still several white-skinned strongholds on the east coast, and the South China Fleet will remove them one by one.
Yan Le commanded the Marine Corps to conduct a series of landing battles, including port cities such as Mozambique, Mogadishu, and Madagascar. With artillery and muskets, the Chinese did not lose much when they seized the colonies, and the white-skinned overseas infrastructure was not enough. !
In fact, the white-skinned fortifications are difficult for blacks. They build wooden walls and trenches, use guns to resist foreign enemies, and blacks with contradictory cards and bows can hardly break their camps.
But it’s not a problem for the Chinese, the Chinese have sacks!
burlap sacks filled with soil, directly carried by the back, or carried, and transported with a chicken bus, and then dumped in the trench, or directly shoveled with a shovel (this is easy to cause the defenders to attack).
seems to be a simple method, but for Uncle Black it is simply an alien method, because black people don’t have sacks!
Don't underestimate the production of sacks. The Chinese produce 80% of the sacks in the world, and only some civilized countries and regions have sacks.
There are also chicken buses, not even black people!
Not to mention that their productivity is extremely backward, even the means of production and means of production are extremely scarce, they don't even have a shovel for shoveling soil, even if they have a broken axe, it is not good, just like the Chinese have everything they need.
When Zhang Jiayu found out that Indians were selling things when he was in India, he said: "They don't use scales!"
Indians don’t use scales at all when selling things. They sell things by piles, by individual, and by bowl by cup!
Later, when the Chinese arrived in Africa, they found that the same was true for blacks.
Why the Chinese have such a strong computing power? Because of the scales, children know that the weight multiplied by the unit price equals the price, so the Chinese are so smart.
White skins can bully black people, but the Chinese teach them how to behave every minute and beat them to understand why the flowers are so popular!
For the Chinese who were able to break through the thousand-year-old city of Istanbul, the defenses of Baipi’s port cities were too inferior. They didn’t even need to use catapults to break them, and the ladders and well fences were rarely used, so they defeated the enemy camp. .
The South China Fleet arrived in Maputo Bay. Yan Le said to Major General Liu Guoxuan on the battleship deck: "This is really a good harbor."
Liu Guoxuan agreed: "This bay is wide and deep, with a large area, and it can accommodate a large fleet!"
Liu Guoxuan, a native of Changting, Zhangzhou, is majestic and majestic. He immigrated to the sea early and joined the navy. He was promoted quickly. He was born in 1629 and became a major general before the age of forty. Of course, he has the friendship of fellow villagers today. But it is also an outstanding performance of his personal ability. He is now Lieutenant Cabot, leading twelve battleships to attack the enemy.
Four of the twelve battleships were confessional white skins. They were the spoils of the South China Fleet's capture of Cape Town. White skins surrendered quickly, and the ships were used by me.
There is Maputo City on the edge of Maputo Bay, and the city defenses are a little bit difficult: a six-meter-high stone wall has been built, and there are deep trenches.
In some places, smoky and purple-black spots were found, which were traces of being besieged.
Here is the export port of South African gold!
The city was founded in 1544 and was originally occupied by the Portuguese. When the Dutch discovered gold mines in the interior of South Africa, they looked around and took the city of Maputo, seizing the city and becoming a gold export port.
When the black tribe knew about it, they attacked the city and all returned home.
But the good times didn't last long, the Chinese came.
Seeing that the city of Maputo is six meters high, the Chinese laughed.
Although the city is not high, the Chinese are meticulous in doing things. They build long walls first, that is, dig trenches around the city, and the mud that is dug out is flattened as a wall, which can block the movement of the enemy.
Don’t think this trick is simple, it’s not easy to get rid of it, because there is no sacks!
Use sack to fill the soil, prepare it in advance, and drop it together at the side of the ditch, and immediately pass it.
But without sacks, shoveling and transporting mud on site will easily lead to an attack by the blockade.
The Baipi on the city saw that the Chinese had dug a trench to block them in less than three days. The cavalry patrolled along the side of the ditch, and all their faces changed color.
Then they were sniped by a rifled rifle, and the people who stood sniped at it. Seeing the colleague who had been shot down, Baipi quickly bowed his head in fright.
The Chinese lined up outside the city, with a majestic army lined up, a densely packed army, at least twelve thousand people!
Yan Le received reinforcements, four thousand Chinese, four thousand Indian soldiers and four thousand Japanese.
will be facing three thousand white skins in the city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Some Chinese officers think that white skins in the city are delicious dishes and want to attack them impatiently.
The offensive was orderly, shelling the city, firing solid rounds and flying thunder cannons, the shells violently shook the city wall, and the flying thunder cannons screamed the uncovered white skins.
What followed was the Chinese hand throwing bombs and a thousand arrows!
Bombs are hard enough. The Chinese still play bows and arrows. More than a thousand archers pull their bows and shoot upwards. The arrows are like rain, and the sky is dark.
There are iron arrows that shoot into the city, as long as they hit it, it's hard to get them out.
because there are barbs on the arrow!
There are also rockets. The city is on fire everywhere, and there is no need to attack, and it is in chaos.
At this time, Yan Le sent two captive white skins from Cape Town to see the defenders in the city and relayed the news on their behalf: "As long as the city is dedicated and the wealth in the city is handed over, the Chinese can organize ships to transport them away. The Europeans in the city, send them back to the land of Christ, no one will die. It is guaranteed in the name of the empire!"
"Otherwise, everyone in the city will be killed, not one left!" This is the Chinese ultimatum
A few hours later, the two white skins came back and sent back a message: "The people in the city have agreed!"
