Chapter 1630, The bloody revenge of the Persians

Fernando Island (Sao Tome Island) in the Gulf of Guinea on the golden coastline of West Africa is here.

"kill!"

"Great Persian warriors, kill me, kill every Spaniard on the island!"

Korbanda was standing on top of a warship, and he let out a roar.

I have endured humiliation for more than a year in West Africa, and finally ushered in the time to fight back.

The warships purchased by the Persian Empire from the Ming Empire finally arrived in West Africa, and the Spaniards are now busy fighting the Pirate Alliance in Europe.

Naturally, the Persians would not let go of such a great opportunity, and launched a counterattack with the North Koreans.

The island of Fernando in front of me, formerly the Portuguese island of Sao Tome, is the most important island on the entire golden coastline. It has a large area, a humid climate, fertile land on the island, and a large amount of fertile land. It can not only grow sugar cane but also grow food.

Coupled with excellent natural harbors and solid colonial strongholds built by the Japanese, Portuguese, and Spaniards, this is definitely one of the best colonial strongholds on the Gold Coast.

As long as this island can be taken, plus Darius Island, which originally belonged to the Persians in the north, Persia can radiate the entire Gulf of Guinea.

So this time, the Persians didn't even call out to the Koreans, and they planned to eat alone. The Persians were coveting this island, and wanted it too much.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, this island is the most important colony of the Spaniards on the Golden Coast, and the capture of this island can have a huge impact on the colonial rule of the Spaniards in West Africa.

At this moment, more than [-] Persian warships surrounded the port of Fernando Island.

The powerful Miyun artillery from the Ming Empire poured artillery fire on the island continuously, and the shells roared in the sky, but they hit the port and the castle on the island heavily.

While the artillery fire was attacking, small boats full of Persian warriors quickly began to land, preparing to take the island in one fell swoop and pull out the Spanish colonial stronghold here.

"Fire! Fire!"

Naturally, the Spaniards on the island will not sit still.

Everywhere on the fort, the Spanish defenders fought back desperately with artillery fire.

They knew very well that once the Persians captured it, every Spaniard on the island counted as one, and they would definitely die.

The conflict between the Persians and the Spaniards has taken over the deep hatred since Darius Island and the city of Cambyses.

Back then, the Spaniards kept almost none of the Persians in these two colonies. They either killed them or sold them to the Ming people as slaves. So far, they don't know where they are in the corner of Daming.

Out of revenge, when Corbanda led a large army to West Africa, he also carried out a bloody massacre of the Spaniards in the colonial stronghold, and the grievances between the two parties were very deep.

"Dong Dong~"

The artillery fire raged, the gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the shells came and went, causing bursts of wailing.

However, the Spaniards on the island quickly realized that they could not beat the Persians without any advantage in military strength.

As more and more Persians landed on the island, they continued to attack the port, fort, and castle. The Spanish defenders, who had less than 2000 people left, had to retreat back to the castle step by step.

Prepare to rely on the strong defense of the castle to fight a protracted war with the Persians.

The castle on the island is built according to the mountain.

It was first established by the Portuguese, and later the Japanese snatched it from the Portuguese and used a lot of cement for reinforcement. In the hands of the Spaniards, they used a large amount of reinforced concrete for reinforcement and heightening, and built a large number of defensive bunkers. and forts.

And as the most important colonial stronghold of the Spaniards on the Gold Coast of West Africa, the Spaniards also considered many other factors in advance.

There is a large amount of food stored in the castle, there are underground wells, and powerful forts are set up. It is entirely possible to rely on this castle to hold on for more than a year.

Even if there are tens of thousands of enemies attacking this castle, it is impossible to attack it in a short time.

Corbanda disembarked and landed on the island again.

The last time I came here, I still came to sneak attack on this island, but in the end I suffered a disastrous defeat and suffered heavy losses.

This time, it was a massive attack, a frontal attack, and the island was bound to be taken.

"This castle is not easy to fight!"

After finding a hillside, he carefully looked at the castle in front of him with a telescope. Corbanda couldn't help but frown.

When the island was attacked in a sneak attack, many Persian warriors died on the open space in front of the castle.

The castle was extremely strong, and there was an open space in front of it. No matter how many soldiers passed by, they would all be delivering food. Unless they could blow up the gate of the castle or blow up the walls of the castle, it would be possible to enter.

Other than that, there is simply no way to take down this castle.

While Corbanda was thinking, the mighty Persian army attacked the castle, intending to take the castle in one go and kill all the Spaniards here.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling shelling, hundreds of cannons poured out their anger at the castle, and the shells hit the castle heavily, smashing many buildings inside to be riddled with holes and devastated.

However, it doesn't have much impact on the strong city wall. The city wall reinforced with reinforced concrete is beyond imagination, and it is not afraid of shell attacks.

When the Persian army rushed under the castle, dense gunfire sounded above the castle, accompanied by billowing gunpowder smoke, and countless Persian soldiers fell down one after another.

"Boom~Boom~"

Rows of Persian soldiers walked in neat steps, aiming their muskets at the Spaniards on the castle, trying to suppress the Spaniards' attack.

But it was soon discovered that the Spaniards could hide in the bunkers on the city walls.

With only rows of bunkers with small gun holes left, the Spaniards can shoot unscrupulously, but it is difficult for the Persians to cause harm to the Spaniards hiding in them.

The battle was very fierce. Countless corpses were left under the castle, and they had to retreat in the end. They could only watch helplessly as the Spanish on the castle cheered arrogantly.

"Ah~"

Corbanda couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately ordered to stop the fearless attack, the soldiers in his hands can't just be buried here in vain, he must think of a good way to attack the bunker.

Anyway, there is plenty of time, and the Spaniards have no time to take care of the colony now, so they can slowly find a way to break through the castle.

The Persians surrounded the castle tightly and sent people to quickly control other places on the island. On the one hand, they also tried various methods to break through the castle.

Night raids, sieges, dynamite packs to blow up the city gates, making tall siege ladders, etc., every day and night, various methods were staged in turn, constantly trying to break through the castle.

However, the Spaniards inside the castle were like hedgehogs, holding on to the castle firmly, making the eyes of the Persians red with anger, but there was nothing they could do.

The battle lasted for more than a month. Finally, through a slave on the island who was familiar with the internal structure of the castle, through the sewage passage here, some people sneaked in quietly at night, and then occupied a place through these people. city ​​walls.

The Spaniards even blocked the city gate with earth and rocks. They couldn't open the city gate. They could only occupy a city wall and combine ropes and ladders.

After a fierce battle, the Persians finally entered the castle.

This battle can be described as extremely tragic, and the Persians paid a heavy price to take the castle.

In order to retaliate against the Spaniards, Corbanda ordered the beheading of all the captured Spaniards, even children, in order to retaliate against the Spaniards.

After capturing Fernando Island, the Persians did not stop.

Immediately, they marched northward and recaptured the island of Darius in just one day, and recaptured the city of Cambyses in three days.

Wherever the Persian army went, as long as they saw Spaniards, almost all of them would kill without mercy. Even if they surrendered, they would never let you go.

In just a few months, on the Gold Coast of West Africa, under the strong attacks of the Koreans and Persians, a large number of Spanish colonies continued to be lost, and even here in the Gulf of Guinea, there was not a single Spanish colony left.

The joint fleet of the Koreans and the Persians was not satisfied with this, and along the coast of West Africa, it continued to sweep northward, even threatening to hit the Spanish mainland.

The situation on the Gold Coast took a turn for the worse, and the news quickly spread back to Spain, which made the whole of Spain furious. Only then did they win the English naval battle, and they were preparing to enjoy the fruits of the victors.

There is another major incident in the West African colonies. If they are left alone, all the colonies will be lost by then, and the Persians and Koreans will really kill the Spaniards.

It's really imminent, multi-line combat is already quite difficult for the Spaniards, but the Spaniards are also deeply angered by the massacres of the Koreans and Persians, like an angry bull, threatening to make the Persians and Koreans bloody compensate.
