Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

but.

In Wang Baobao's eyes, Pedro's trick is not enough.

He will not kill people, he can rely on the cannon to continue the attack.

Boom boom boom!
As bursts of artillery sounded, the Mongols raised the artillery by half an inch and aimed directly at the second main city wall of Kafa.

I have to say that the quality of the second city wall is really good, it can be regarded as the ceiling level of the city wall defense.

The terrible Mongolian artillery bombarded it, but only left a few white spots and knocked down a pile of small gravel.

but.

The defenders of Kafa City were still terrified.

Because the Mongols' artillery was so accurate that they were able to hit accurately through the half of the city wall in front of them.

"Oh, God!"

"Kaffa City is really dangerous!"

Pedro secretly screamed in his heart, no matter how strong the city wall is, it can't withstand the continuous artillery bombardment!

Now, Pedro and his men can only pray that the Mongols' gunpowder reserves should not be too much, and hope that they will be exhausted before the walls of Kaffa are destroyed!

Three hours later.

It was already dark, and the Mongolian camp outside Kafa City was already silent.

After three hours of bombardment, Kafa City was already dilapidated. Although it did not completely collapse, it could not last long.

"Grand Master, why don't you continue the bombardment while the night is dark, one night is enough to destroy the city wall, and you can break into the city tomorrow morning!"

Meng Yuan general Hao Hai persuaded him in the tent.

Not long ago, Hao Hai led the Oirat cavalry to defeat the Kingdom of Poland and killed King Kami III of Poland. He surpassed Tuyin Timur and became the number one general under Wang Baobao.

It has to be said that Haohai's strategy and courage are really far superior to Tuoyin Timur.

Wang Baobao was not in a hurry to launch a surprise attack at night, but continued to attack the Kaffa city wall with artillery from the next day.

Your army has already grasped the initiative on the battlefield, so naturally Wang Baobao will not take too many risks.

After two days of artillery bombardment of the walls of Kaffa, two huge gaps appeared.

Wang Baobao immediately ordered Hao Hai to be the vanguard and lead the troops into the city.

The Mongolian Yuan army led by Hao Hai invaded through the gap in the city wall and started a fierce street battle with the Genoese army inside the city.

Pedro, the commander of the Genoese army, personally led his men to use the street cover to resist the attack of the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers.

"Damn Mongols, God bless us!" Pedro, wearing a red turban and armor, threw his spear and stabbed several Mongolian Yuan soldiers who rushed to the front, cursing loudly, his His face turned red with anger, and his eyes became bloody like a beast.

"General, we can no longer stop the enemy, the gate of the city has been smashed by the Mongolian soldiers!" The adjutant standing next to him looked at the enemy who was getting closer, and replied nervously: "In addition, the enemy has a large number of people." ..."

"Bastard!" Pedro yelled angrily, raised the knight sword in his hand, and slashed at the Mongolian Slav soldiers who rushed towards him. Blood spattered, and with a scream, a corpse fell to the ground.

He raised his blood-stained arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks, then turned around and asked the adjutant behind him, "Can you hold on, brothers?"

"General, I think it's over, we have to retreat!" The adjutant took a few breaths and said intermittently: "If this continues, everyone will die!"

"Okay, then retreat." Pedro nodded, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Prepare the crossbow, hit me hard, and wipe out all the enemies who charge up!"

Seeing that the Genoese army began to retreat, the Mongolian people took advantage of the victory and pursued them. They frantically chased and killed the fleeing Genoese soldiers, and soon occupied the entire square, driving the Genoese army to the corner.

"Damn!"

Wearing a red turban, wearing silver-gray armor, and holding a short bow in his left hand, Pedro was very conspicuous in the crowd, and a large number of Genoese soldiers gathered towards him.

Pedro saw the enemy army rushing up from a distance, and knew that if the opponent was allowed to complete the encirclement, no one would be able to survive today.

"Brothers, kill me!"

Pedro raised his long sword and yelled at the surrounding Genoese soldiers.

Now that the entire Kaffa city has been breached by the Mongols, if the Genoese like Pedro want to escape, they must rush to the port in the south of the city, where there are ships to escape.

Pedro led the remnants of Genoese soldiers to fight, and ran desperately towards the street south of Kaffa City.

But because the city had fallen and the streets were already blocked, they couldn't run fast at all. Instead, they were intercepted by the rushing enemy. After costing more than a dozen lives, Pedro finally broke through the enemy's defense line and led his Genoese soldiers towards the city. port.

At this time, ten sailboats were docked on the plain outside the port.

Pedro boarded the top deck of one of the sailboats and shouted down: "Quick, get on board, we're leaving the city!"

"As ordered!"

More than 300 remaining soldiers in Genoa jumped onto the deck one after another, climbed up the cabin along the rope ladder, and under the command of Pedro, quickly raised the sailboat and sailed towards the south.

"Haha, we escaped successfully!" Pedro excitedly clenched his fists and cheered to the soldiers around him.

Just when everyone was cheering and rejoicing that they had escaped, suddenly a fleet of more than 20 warships appeared on the sea ahead.

This team that popped up all of a sudden was flying a white black-edged golden cross flag, which was obviously the Mongol navy.

"God, how is this possible, do the Mongols still have such a powerful navy?" Pedro was taken aback by the warship that suddenly appeared.

Of course, what shocked him even more was that the fleet on the opposite side launched an offensive on its own initiative.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A burst of dense shells hit the sailboat where Pedro and the others were, and the shock wave generated by the sea knocked them to the ground.

"General, dodge quickly, be careful!" The adjutant beside him desperately dragged Pedro to the other side of the deck.

As soon as Pedro lay down, he heard a continuous roar coming from his ears, and then countless pieces of wood and iron flew towards him, hitting his body, causing unbearable pain.

Under such circumstances, even the elite soldiers did not dare to stay on the sailboat, so they could only jump to the shore one after another and flee in all directions.

While the Mongolian warships were attacking, a 50-man Mongolian cavalry ran out from the city in the east and galloped quickly along the road.

"enemy!"

"Protect the General!"

The Genoese soldiers roared in panic, but they were no match for the Mongolian cavalry at all. They threw down their weapons and ran away with their heads in their arms.

"Caught alive!"

The Mongolian cavalry raised their sabers and rushed over screaming, chopping melons and vegetables, beheading the Genoese soldiers to death.

Pedro was also surrounded by Mongolian cavalry regiments. Faced with a mortal situation, Pedro had no intention of continuing to resist and dropped his weapons and surrendered.

The Mongolian cavalry tied up Pedro.

At this time, Kafa City has been completely occupied by the Mongolian Yuan team, and the ships in the port cannot escape at all.

Pedro was escorted to the Mongolian Yuan commander Wang Baobao.

It has to be said that Pedro is worthy of being a well-known brave man among the runners-up in Genoa. After seeing Wang Baobao, he didn't have much fear.

"Are you John Timur?" Pedro stared at the young Mongolian general and asked gnashing his teeth.

"I am, I heard that you were very brave in the battle." Wang Baobao, the Mongolian commander, nodded: "In the previous battle, you declared that you would capture me, but now I am standing in front of you, what are you going to do? "

"Hmph! I will never surrender to you!" Pedro puffed his chest out and stared at the Mongolian commander without showing any sign of weakness: "If you want me to bow to you, unless you step over my corpse!"

"I really admire your courage, but I don't think this kind of thing needs to come to the point of meeting life and death." Wang Baobao said with a smile: "You are not my opponent, I advise you not to be stubborn, you don't If you are willing to surrender, I can give you two choices, one is that I will kill you and then slaughter all your subordinates; the other is that you surrender to me and help me persuade the navy in the pier to surrender!"

Although the Mongolian navy blocked the port going out to sea, it only symbolically destroyed a warship with artillery.

The rest of the Genoese navy is still in the port, they can neither break out, nor are they willing to go ashore.

"Bah!" Pedro spat and cursed, "Mongol, don't you want me to betray my hometown and surrender to you villains."

"Okay, if that's the case, then you die."

Wang Baobao looked at Pedro coldly and said, "Send this guy who dares to insult me ​​to be hanged!"

Wang Baobao knew that for these European barbarians, only the nobles could enjoy the treatment of beheading, and the painful hanging was more suitable for them.

Several Mongolian soldiers rushed over and dragged Pedro to a nearby gallows.

Pedro struggled, cursing the Mongols, but there was nothing he could do to prevent this tragedy from happening.

Pedro was frightened at last when the dreadful rope was around his neck.

"No, I promise to surrender!" Pedro hurriedly begged for mercy.

"What did you say? You said you wanted to surrender?!"

"Yes, I say I surrender!" Pedro hastily added: "I can persuade the navy of the mouth, let you deal with it, please give me a chance, let me do my crime!"

"Oh, well, I can give you a chance." Wang Baobao showed an expression of successful plot, and a smile appeared on his face.

Pedro breathed a sigh of relief, and finally recovered his life.

Wang Baobao offered an extremely generous purchase fee to the Genoa Navy.

And his request is not too much.

Wang Baobao only asked the Genoese navy to hand over the ships and slave sailors in their hands. If other soldiers did not want to serve the Mongols, they could leave with the money given to them instead of fighting their own country on the battlefield.

Pedro succeeded in persuading the Genoese naval men on the battleships to abandon their ships and surrender to the Mongols.

After Wang Baobao got these warships of the Genoa Navy, his strength immediately increased greatly. Now the Mongolian Navy has forty warships of all sizes.

Wang Wubao immediately ordered these warships to be refitted, and many new types of artillery unique to Meng Yuan were added to the upper deck.

After conquering the city of Kaffa and forcing Pedro and other Genoese troops to surrender.

Wang Bao retained thousands of Slavs to guard Kafacheng, and then led the fleet to Constantinople to kill it mightily.

About tens of miles away from Constantinople, Wang Baobao gave the order to move slowly.

The Patriarch Alexios of the Eastern Roman Empire originally said that there would be a ship to pick up Wang Baobao.

But now there are no Orthodox people on the sea, Wang Baobao immediately became cautious.

With the order issued, the fleet slowly approached Constantinople.

When the fleet was about ten miles away from Constantinople, dozens of warships suddenly rushed out of a hidden port ahead.

"Everyone is ready to fight!"

"Report, there are many shadows of sails on the sea, and the flag of Genoa is flying."

"Report, there is a ship moving at sea, it is the Venetian!"

The watchmen of the Mongolian Navy issued various alarms one after another.

The fleet that came to intercept was the combined fleet composed of Venice, Genoa and Pisa.

Venice, Genoa and Pisa have huge fleets as maritime trading powers.

Sailing on the Mediterranean Sea can be said to be unimpeded.

The Emperor John V of the Eastern Roman Empire has arrived outside Constantinople under the escort of the United Fleet.

It's just that the Orthodox Patriarch Alexios and the Roman citizens in the city refused John V to enter the city because they had declared John V a traitor.

The armies of France, Savoy, Venice, Genoa, Pisa, and the Papal States, who were now escorting John V, had surrounded Constantinople.

After their joint fleet detected the approach of the Mongolian navy, they made preparations for this ambush.

On a huge battleship, Wang Baobao stood on the splint, watching the United Fleet appearing ahead, with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"A country of barbarians, with only a few warships, how dare you claim to be invincible at sea?"

The combined fleet of these three maritime powers has more than 100 warships.

The vast majority were galleys rowed by slaves, with a few fast fireboats using jib sails.

The Mongolian navy under Wang Baobao has undergone some improvements.

The Mongolian Navy moved many artillery pieces to battleships.

These cannons made of precious brass can sink any warship that dares to approach at a distance of nearly a hundred steps.

The United Fleet on the opposite side did not know this situation.

"Raise the battle flag, I want to show these barbaric orientals what a real navy is!"

In the combined fleet opposite, a warship flying the flag of St. John raised the battle flag.

This battleship is the "Honor" of the Venetian Navy. The commander of the battleship, Verratti, is the soul of the Venetian Navy. He once led the Venetian fleet in the Mediterranean and defeated the warships of the Egyptian Mamluk Dynasty many times with the weak and the strong. .

After the two sides approached, Verratti quickly recognized several warships of the Mongolian Navy, all of which were Genoese warships.

Obviously, the Mongols must have captured the city of Kaffa before capturing these Genoese warships.

"Get ready to fight now and avenge our Catholic brothers!"

Verratti gave the order immediately.

The Catholic Navy of the Combined Fleet formed a very large semicircle.

They will use their numerical superiority to encircle the Mongolian navy from three directions, and then engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

But as the distance between the two sides got closer to less than a hundred steps, the battleship of the Mongolian Navy suddenly made a gesture, which surprised everyone.
