Sweep the World

As the expeditionary fleet entered the Arabian Sea and arrived in the waters of Trakutaka, Huanwen still had to arrive ashore for replenishment. novel.

The huge fleet goes all the way to the west, and the route is not too far from the land. It is almost under the attention of all countries all the way. It is not the first time that countries have seen such a huge fleet. The last time Wang Meng returned from Europa, the fleet was actually larger.

Trakutaka is a country that split from the Baichen dynasty. There are records of facing Han people in their history. After they came into contact with the Han people, they specially checked those few records. After reading them, The first time he chose to show respect to the Han people.

This time the Romans and Persians took the lead to form an anti-Han axis. Trakutaka was not untouched, but they arrested the Persians who had come to contact as soon as possible, and handed them over to the Han Empire in their own country. Within a concession.

"This is a rich and poor country." Yuan Qiao has already learned about Trakutaka: "They are not short of precious metals, but they are extremely lack of ordinary metals."

This statement is not contradictory. Minerals in some places are the same thing. Maybe the country is full of gold and silver mines, but there is no iron or copper mine.

Trakutaka also learned popular metal smelting technology because it was once the territory of the Maurya Dynasty. After the collapse of the Maurya Dynasty, they immediately established their own country and were destroyed by the Baichen Dynasty more than two hundred years later.

Before the Hyakchen dynasty was replaced by Vagatraga, the ruler of this land was the Abiro, and Trakutaka waited for the rule of the Abiro to be overthrown to be established.

The Abiros are actually a tribe of the Serb race and the Indian race. They rose up arrogantly, occupying the northwestern part of the Asan continent, and the following tribes split into six countries on their own.

The headquarters still uses the country name of Abiro, and currently it still occupies a large part of the northwestern part of the Asan continent.

Trakutaka overthrew the rule of the Abiros in this area, and the other part of the Abiros established two satraps with other Serbian branches.

After more than one hundred years of evolution, the races of the two Satraps have gradually become a new tribe of Serbs. They have been in an alliance with the headquarters of Abiro for a long time, and together they have resisted the southward expansion of the Persian Sassanids.

Before the Hans appeared on the stage of the three continents, Trakutaka was actually a vassal of the two Satraps, and it was only because of the appearance of the Hans that they changed a thick thigh.

The current situation is that Trakutaka is in the camp of the Han Empire, and then is sandwiched by two satrapus and Vagadaka from the two oblique breads, and to the south is the walled Ravandhara Shida.

"So no matter what, we need to do something." Yuan Qiao's previous landing was received like a state guest. He talked with the king of Trakutaka and his ministers: "From the attitude and actual behavior On the one hand, they chose to stand firmly on the side of the big man, and we can’t help but express."

Huanwen was still very satisfied with King Trakutaka's obedience. For example, he sent ten boxes of golden bars, two boxes of gems of various colors, and no less than 30 exotic beauties. With the king's sensibility, then Trakutaka's stand firm is to supply fresh water, food, and related or unrelated materials for the entire expedition fleet free of charge. It is indeed impossible to express it in public and private.

"The fleet had planned to land in that bay (Kachi Bay)." Huan Wen rolled out the map and looked at it, and clicked the southeast direction of the peninsula's protrusion: "They are fighting here now...", he clicked the peninsula again Protruding part: "We log in here according to the original plan."

The expeditionary fleet has received news that Ran Min returned to the country by boat, to avoid suspicion... or it is no longer necessary to avoid participating in any **** and trouble, and the previously formulated combat plan can be carried out again.

Huan Wen still hopes that he can have multiple landing operations before arriving in Europa. Is it a kind of experience?

The season of the year has entered the summer. Trakotka’s side is extremely sweltering, and only a small part of the crew of the expeditionary fleet has come ashore. These people were once again ordered to return to the ship. The rulers of Trakutaka sent off and headed north.

"That piece of land is all red, and the vegetation looks all yellow." Liu Mingyou crossed the shore, seeing the difference in a foreign land thousands of miles away: "It will be like this before autumn. Can you imagine how high the temperature is? "

Except for the east and south, the central, northern and western parts of the Azerbaijan Continent seem to be melting pots in summer due to their latitude.

The Han people specifically learned that every spring because of the rainy season, there will be waterlogging everywhere, but in the summer, many people will die because of the heat. It doesn't look like a good environment.

People in the expeditionary fleet have more or less benefited from Trakutaka. The senior officers of the fleet at least received a box of gold bars, while ordinary soldiers had some unseen fruits in their meals.

There are 20 gold bars in a box, and about 90 gold coins are melted into it. In terms of local purchasing power, it is not a problem for a middle-class family to maintain the living expenses for three years.

The middle-class families in the Han Empire had total assets of about 300 gold coins in terms of financial resources. However, most middle-class families were mostly real estate, and it was difficult to maintain 30 gold coins with running capital.

Liu Ming obtained ten boxes of gold bars and five boxes of gems as a very long, but there is no exotic beauty. He knew what this was because of the expedition fleet's disclosure of his existence, and he was reminded by the flexible guards that it was for the peace of mind of the monarchs of Trakutaka.

As the most powerful country in the known world, a prince will go on an expedition with the army. The Han people will feel proud after knowing it, and the foreigners will be stunned and shocked when they learn it.

Such a powerful country, even if it is just a prince who can no longer be taken seriously, is the most noble blood shed on his body. Such people were sent to the battlefield, and seeing that the Han Empire was not at all exhausted, then it would be unreasonable to think that such a country was not strong.

The sea area where the expeditionary fleet rested in Trakutaka was not too far away from the two satraps, and their arrival was immediately known by the two satraps' spies in Trakutaka.

Even if these two Satrap's spies knew it, they would not be able to send the news back in a moment. It is estimated that the war would have broken out long ago when they sent the news back.

In fact, there is no need to wait for the news to be sent back. The expeditionary fleet swaggered out in the coastal waters of Two Satrap.

None of the two Satrap ships attempted to intercept, on the contrary, the two Satrap ships that were originally on the sea docked in fear.

"Are there any targets worth attacking on this coastline?"

"This city called Surat is the largest city in this bay (Kempad Bay) in the two satraps."

"Then play a round first."

"promise!"

The gunboats in the fleet left the formation and approached the coast. They slowly turned into a battle line, and then the bronze guns on the ship began to sound.

Surat is a city with a population of about 50,000 to 60,000. It used to be one of the main trading cities with the Gupta Empire and has a well-equipped port.

The port was the first to be bombarded. Before the bombardment, there was chaos here. I don't know how many people died in the crowded stampede before the attack was launched.

Amid the roar of shelling, the bombarded port burned at a very rapid rate.

Liu Ming was not surprised when he watched the burning port. Most of the buildings over there are flammable wood structures. Besides, there are too many kinds of cloth, even if it’s not particularly suitable for incendiary bombs, but only some. Solid bullets, destroying buildings and overturning all kinds of things, will inevitably cause fires.

After two rounds of shelling at the port, the gunboats began to attack the city.

Surat is a city with full Asan characteristics. It has four-cornered earthy yellow walls. Some of the highest terrains can see manors and temples of various depths. One area is beautiful, and more areas are It's messy.

The first thing the gunboats attacked was not to look at the urban areas where high-ranking officials lived, but to attack the chaotic areas first.

Eleven gunboats, sixty-six large-caliber bronze guns, with a maximum caliber of 320 millimeters, and the rest will not be less than 220 millimeters. The medium-caliber bronze guns consisted of 150 mm and 180 mm. There were a total of 330 guns, but only fifteen guns were fired on the lateral side of the gunship.

The gunboat does not have a bronze gun with a caliber less than one hundred and fifty millimeters.

The expeditionary fleet watched its gunboat vent its vitality, naturally, it was happy to see it, and the people who were not on duty were talking about how mighty their gunboat was, and guessing how miserable the enemy was bombarded.

"Sure." Huan Wen put down the binoculars in his hand and said very satisfied: "Three rounds of shelling completely messed up a city. If you send troops to land, you will be able to conquer the city without any difficulty."

In just three rounds of shelling, as many as 693 ammunition were fired.

This number is actually not much, especially for a city, but the effect is unparalleled.

Not many people died directly from shells, most shells hit buildings. There are many people who died in this shelling, but most of them died from the collapse of the building and the subsequent fire, followed by their own pushing and trampling, or cannibalism in order to fight for a way of escape.

Yuan Qiao was still holding his binoculars to watch: "Where did they have the courage to fight against the big guy?"

"..." Huan Wen thought of something, and said not so surely: "Liang Jingru?"

"Huh?" Yuan Qiao didn't know some details of the core ministers, and asked curiously: "Who?"

Huan smiled reservedly. There are some things that require identity and status to a certain level, such as the contact time with the emperor, and how casual the emperor will be in contact with himself.

The three rounds of artillery bombardment were over, and the gunboats were ordered to start their construction. The Han army had no intention of landing at all, and the fleet swaggered to rebuild against the background of the fire on the land.

When the expeditionary fleet is sailing to the salient part of the peninsula, passing by the coastline area with cities, Huan Wen will let more or less gunboats go for shelling.

Huan Wen didn't mean anything else, but used this behavior to announce the arrival of the expeditionary fleet, giving the two Satrap the greatest horror.

"Our artillery shells and gunpowder are extremely sufficient." Yuan Qiao was still very in favor of shelling the two Satrap cities along the route: "They don't know where we are really attacking, which is conducive to the next landing operations."

They are going to expedition to Europa. Maybe they will only bring a small amount of gunpowder and shells. They must carry enough, but it is impossible to master the production method. They will receive a batch of supplies after a few months.

The expeditionary fleet arrived at a promontory area, facing a pristine environment.

"Are we going to land here?" Liu Ming glanced at it. There was still a piece of red land over there, and there were not many other colors: "It's so desolate!"

The cape is called Duvalka by the locals. There is no city within a radius of tens of miles, but a few villages are scattered. It is no more than two hundred nautical miles from the Persian Sassanids in terms of sea area, but it takes close to seven hundred miles on land.

"The document for the Tianzhu Shogunate should have arrived." Huan Wen touched his chin and asked: "The official document for the Zhengxi Shogunate should take another half a year?"

The position of the expeditionary fleet is very special. It can not only cooperate with the Tianzhu Shogunate's attack on the two satraps, but also can plan the military operations of the Western Shogunate against Persian Sassan.

Their final destination is Europa, and the time given by the center is indeed extremely loose, and they have given unlimited right to war.

The so-called unlimited right to war ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ means that Huan Wen wants to attack whoever he wants to attack along the way without the confirmation of the center, and at the same time he can freely carry out military operations that he deems necessary.

"Control the ocean..." Huan Wen was extremely happy: "It is equal to controlling the initiative."

During the 14th year of Yuanshuo, Huan Wen knew the importance of the ocean. He found that when attacking from the sea, as long as those countries had coastlines, they were within the range of being hit. The difficulty was whether the navy of the Han Empire could find a route.

Regarding the anti-Han axis member countries, unfortunately, the Han Empire has mastered the route from the sea to their coastline. It is not that the Han Empire’s navy has not arrived yet. It is because the Han Empire feels that it is necessary to go from the sea. Launch an attack.

Landing and controlling the cape poses no difficulty for the expeditionary fleet. They successfully landed and occupied it with great ease, and still had the space to explore the inland and coastline as necessary.

On the seventh day after they landed, the outlying Han army sent people to report to Huan Wen, and the two Kings of Satrap sent envoys to ask for discussion of surrender...——
