Chapter 1491, Attacking the Arak Colony

In the colony of Accra, Spain, in the Neining Bay of West Africa, the governor of Arak, Perez, is patrolling the city of Arak. Since being ransacked by pirates last year, Accra, which suffered heavy losses, has had to strengthen its defenses in all aspects.

On the port side, fortresses were added, which were numerous and powerful enough to easily cover the entry and exit areas of the port. At the same time, the walls of Arak were reinforced and heightened, and two thousand more soldiers were stationed in Accra.

As the governor here, Perez has also developed the habit of patrolling here every day. He doesn't want to be captured as a slave and sold to the Ming Empire as soon as he wakes up.

He had already heard some rumors, rumors that what those raging pirates like to do most now is to treat people as slaves to the Ming people. After all, the price of a white slave in the Ming Empire is as high as dozens of taels of silver.

"Damn pirates, sooner or later you will all be guillotined!"

While patrolling, Perez couldn't help cursing.

Because pirates are rampant on the Gold Coast, and even pirates on the Mediterranean Sea have become rampant, the governors of their overseas colonies are also facing tremendous pressure.

The colonies were attacked and looted by pirates, and the treasure ship was robbed. They all had huge responsibilities. The Spanish king had deposed several overseas governors one after another, which added tremendous pressure to Perez.

Overseas, the income is really good.

As the governor of an important colony, Perez can make a lot of wealth every year. The gold, silver, ivory, gemstones, and slave trade here on the Gold Coast can also get a lot of benefits casually. He can get a lot of money every year. Get a huge wealth of more than one hundred thousand taels of silver from here.

This is also the reason why he has always insisted on being here. Money is the most powerful motivation.

"Perhaps we can consider beating Chief Songhai. Anyway, the boys are idle here and they are idle. It is time to give full play to their role and value."

Looking at the soldiers who were lazily basking in the sun, Perez thought so in his mind.

The Accra colonial stronghold is located in Neining Bay, and it is backed by the only relatively powerful country in West Africa-the Songhai Empire. Of course, the Songhai Empire, although it is called an empire.

But in fact, their strength is very weak, and they are also very primitive. Perez did not pay attention to them at all. He said that the emperor of the Songhai Empire was the Chief Songhai in his words, which shows his respect for the natives here despised.

Looking at the sea area outside the port with a telescope, it is very calm, with blue sky and clear water, sea and sky connected, seabirds flying in the sky, very peaceful.

"What a day!"

Perez praised.

He was about to get up and return to his Governor's Mansion, ready to take a good night's sleep.

Everything is good here in Arak, except that the weather is too hot, and it is already winter at this moment, but the temperature here is still very high, without the slightest chill, and taking a nice nap is a habit he has developed all along.

"Clang~clang~"

However, at this moment, the alarm above the watchtower sounded, and the clanging sound echoed over the colonial stronghold.

"What happened?"

Peres immediately fell asleep, picked up the binoculars and looked at the sea again, but there was nothing on the sea.

"On land, on land~"

On the watchtower, the watchman pointed to the land and shouted.

"On land?"

When Perez heard this, he looked over quickly, and saw the shadows of pennants flying in the open field. There were a lot of them, not one side and two sides, and the key is to see these flags and know that they are definitely not something that native Africans can do. from.

Because no matter whether it is the fabric of the flag, the color dyed on it, or the pattern on the flag, none of them indicate that this army is from the civilized world.

"This is impossible!"

Perez held a telescope and looked at the mighty army marching towards the colonial stronghold on the ground, showing an expression of disbelief.

The flying lion and the sun, as well as the green background picture, there is no doubt that this is the army of the Persian Empire.

"Could it be that they crossed a distance of tens of thousands of miles and came directly from land to West Africa?"

Perez frowned.

Of course, he knew about the Persian Empire. The Spaniards robbed the Persian Empire of Darius Island and the Cambyses colonial stronghold, which was tantamount to fighting the Persians.

The Persians have already released harsh words, which will definitely make the Spaniards pay a heavy price.

But Spain didn't care about this, because the Persian Empire didn't have its own navy, nor did it have large ships that could navigate the ocean, so there was nothing to do with Spain.

No matter how powerful the army of the Persian Empire is, can it still fly to West Africa?

But the army that appeared in front of them was huge, with tens of thousands of people. If you look closely at their equipment, they are very sophisticated, almost armed to the teeth.

The muskets, helmets, military boots, clothes, and Miyun cannons pulled by horses all showed that this was a well-equipped army.

In addition, even when marching, this army is still very orderly and well-ordered. There is no doubt that this is an army that has undergone rigorous training, and it is an army trained with reference to the army of the Ming Empire.

They came straight to the Arak colonial stronghold, aggressively, definitely not coming to ask the Spaniards if they had eaten.

"Ready to fight, ready to fight!"

Perez let out his own roar, and the entire colonial stronghold was in chaos. Those who hadn't figured out the situation thought the pirates were coming again.

Soon, the head of the Arak colonial stronghold was full of soldiers of the Spanish Empire and citizens who took up arms and came to guard.

Outside the city, Korbanda rode on a tall horse and looked at the Arak settlement with a telescope.

The location of the Spanish candidate is very good. The colonial stronghold is located at the mouth of the river. It can be used as a seaport or a river port, and it can also radiate a large number of colonies along the river.

The Spaniards dug a moat on the outskirts of the colonial stronghold, directly led the water from the river, and then built a bridge that can be raised and lowered. Usually, the bridge is connected for easy access. If the enemy attacks, the bridge can be raised. Get up, when defending the city, you only need to guard this main road.

"It's okay to use it against the local Kunlun slaves, but it's pretty trivial to use it against the army from the civilized world."

Looking carefully at the Arak colonial stronghold in front of him, Korbanda smiled contemptuously.

Such a simple design, coupled with the not-so-short city walls, is obviously very useful to deal with the attacks of local tyrants here, but it is definitely not enough to block the Persian army with a long history of war.

"Pass down the order~"

"Call it down in two hours and we'll have lunch inside."

"Kill all the men, leave no one behind!"

Korbanda gave the order coldly.

At this moment, he is like an angry lion, with endless rage, he wants to burn this small colonial stronghold in front of him.

"Quick, quick~"

"Move the cannon over, move the cannon over~"

At this moment, Perez was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he kept ordering his soldiers to bring the cannons on the port fort for defense.

Because he had already seen that the Persians outside the city had already formed a formation, and all the cannons had been aimed at him.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

Soon, deafening bangs sounded from outside the city, and billowing white smoke rose wildly, followed by shells roaring towards the colonial stronghold.

"Whoo~"

"boom!"

The whistling sound pierced the sky, and then shells slammed into the colonial stronghold one after another, and immediately smashed holes in the buildings, making the Spaniards in the stronghold terrified all day long.

Round after round of shelling continued to sound, and wave after wave of shells poured towards the stronghold, many of which fell on the city wall, smashing the flesh and blood of the Spaniards defending the city, and shaking the city wall .

"kill!"

Korbanda drew out the scimitar in his hand, and with an order, the Persian soldiers marched towards the colonial stronghold with neat steps.

"Shoot~shoot~"

Perez wiped off the sweat and blood on his face with a slap, and waved the cross sword in his hand. On the top of the city, the Spanish soldiers pointed their muskets at the approaching Persian soldiers one by one.

"Bang~"

The dense gunshots like fried beans kept ringing, and the Persian soldiers at the front kept falling down, but soon, the soldiers behind immediately came up.

Soon, they came to the side of the moat staring at the huge pressure.

"Get ready~"

"Aim~"

"shooting!"

The Persian officer in charge roared, and soon groups of Persian soldiers raised their muskets and aimed at the Spaniards above the city.

"Bang~"

A burst of gunfire sounded, billowing white smoke shrouded, and the Spaniards on the top of the city suddenly let out a burst of screams. Facing such a dense salvo, as long as it was outcropping, it was almost difficult to hide, even though many The lead bullets are all placed on the top of the city.

"The second team~"

"Ready to aim~"

"shooting!"

Soon, the first team finished fighting, and the second team continued to aim at the Spanish defenders on the top of the city. These Spanish defenders were about to counterattack, but they were greeted by dense bullets.

On one side, the musketeers were suppressing the Spanish defenders on the top of the city. On the other side, a Persian soldier jumped into the moat at once, swam across the moat to the bottom of the city, and tried to cut off the ropes of the bridge with a dagger. The bridge is lowered.

"Call me, call me~"

"Oil pan, pour hot oil on me~"

Perez anxiously directed at the top of the city, the whole person was very anxious and terrified.
