Chapter 1057

When the expedition fleet entered the Arabian Sea and reached the sea area of trakutaka, Huanwen still had to arrive at the shore for replenishment.

The huge fleet is heading west. The route is not too far from the land. It is almost under the attention of all countries. It is not the first time for all countries to see such a huge fleet. The last time Wang Meng returned from Europa, the fleet was actually larger.

Terakutaka is a country separated from the hundred times Dynasty. There are records of facing the Han people in their history. After contacting the Han people, they specially consulted those few records and chose to show obedience to the Han people at the first time.

This time, the Romans and Persians took the lead in establishing the anti Han axis. Trakutaka was not not contacted, but they arrested the Persians who came to contact at the first time and handed them over to the Han Empire in a concession of their own country.

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

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

Trakutaka also learned the popular metal smelting technology because it was once the territory of the Peacock Dynasty. After the collapse of the Peacock Dynasty, they immediately became self-governing and founded the country. More than 200 years later, they were destroyed by the Baicheng Dynasty.

Before the Bactrian Dynasty was replaced by vagadoga, the rulers of this land were the abiros, and terakutaka was established only after the rule of the abiros was overthrown.

The apiro people are actually a tribe of Cypriots and Indians. They once rose violently and occupied the northwest of the three continents. The latter tribes split into six countries by themselves.

The headquarters still uses the country name of apiro and currently occupies a large territory in the northwest of mainland A3.

Trakutaka overthrew the rule of the apiro people in this area, while another part of the apiro people established two satraps with other Serb branches.

After more than 100 years of evolution, the races of the two satraps have gradually become a new Cypriot tribe. They have long been in an alliance with their headquarters, apiro, to jointly resist the southward expansion of Persian Sasan.

Before the Han people appeared on the stage of the A3 continent, they were actually the vassals of the two satraps. Only because of the emergence of the Han people did they change a thick thigh.

The current situation is that trakutaka is in the camp of the Han Empire, and then is sandwiched by two satraps and vargadoga from the two sides of the oblique angle, and in the south is the rawindra Junda who sits on the wall.

"So we need to do something anyway." The last time yuan Qiao landed, he was treated like a state guest. He had a conversation with the king of trakutaka and his ministers: "in terms of attitude and practical action, they chose to firmly stand on the side of the big man. We can't help but express."

Huan Wen was still very satisfied with king trakutaka's obedience. For example, he sent ten boxes of golden bars, two boxes of gemstones of various colors, and no less than 30 exotic beauties. With the understanding of the king, then there is the firm position of trakutaka, who supplies the whole expedition fleet with fresh water, food and related or irrelevant materials free of charge. Yu Gongyu Huanwen can't help but express it.

"The fleet had plans to land in that bay (kage Bay)." Huan Wen spread out the map and looked at it. He pointed to the southeast of the peninsula protrusion: "they are fighting here now...". He also pointed to the peninsula protrusion: "we will land here according to the original plan."

The expeditionary fleet has received the news of Ran min's return by boat. It's no longer necessary to avoid suspicion... Or to avoid participating in any shit downfall. The previous battle plan can be carried out again.

Huan Wen still hopes to have many landing operations before arriving in Europa. Is it a kind of experience?

The season of the year has entered summer. On the side of trakutka, there is an extremely muggy climate. Only a small part of the crew of the expedition fleet landed. These people were ordered to return to the ship again. One day later, they went north with the welcome of the monarchs and officials of trakutka.

"The land is red and the vegetation looks yellow." Liu Ming has been ashore. He has seen the difference between foreign lands thousands of miles away: "it will be like this in less than autumn. Can you imagine how high the temperature is?"

Apart from the East and south, the central, North and west of the A3 continent are like melting pots in summer because of latitude.

Han people have learned that every spring there are floods everywhere because of the rainy season, but in summer many people die because of the heat. It doesn't look like a good environment.

The people of the expedition fleet more or less got some benefits from trakutaka. The top of the fleet at least received a box of gold bars, and ordinary soldiers had more fruits than they had seen in food.

A box of twenty gold bars melts into about 90 gold coins. In terms of local purchasing power, it is no problem for a middle-class family to maintain the cost of living for three years.

In terms of financial resources, the middle-class families in the Han Empire had total assets of about 300 gold coins, but most of the middle-class families were real estate, so it was difficult to maintain 30 gold coins.

Liu Ming obtained ten boxes of gold bars and five boxes of precious stones as what long he was, but there were no foreign beauties. He knew what was the reason for this. When the expedition fleet revealed its existence, he was reminded by the smart bodyguard that it was to reassure the monarchs and ministers of trakutaka.

As the first known power in the world, when a prince goes to war with the army, the Han people will be proud when they know it, and the foreigners will be stunned and shocked when they know it.

Such a powerful country, even if it is only a prince who can no longer be valued, has the most noble blood. If such people are sent to the battlefield and the Han Empire is not at the end of its tether, it will be considered that such a country is not strong and unreasonable.

The expedition fleet was not too far away from the two satraps in the sea area where they rested in trakutaka. Their arrival was immediately known by the two satraps' spies in trakutaka.

Even if these two satrapu spies knew, 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, you don't have to wait for the news to be sent back. The expedition fleet swaggered off the coast of two satraps. The first area found was a burst of chicken flying and dog jumping immediately.

There was no attempt by any of the two satraps to intercept. On the contrary, the two satraps that were originally at sea landed in fear.

"Is there any target worth attacking on this coastline?"

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

"Then play a round first."

"Promise!"

The gunships in the fleet broke away from the large formation and began to approach the coast. They slowly became a battle line, and then the bronze guns on board began to sound.

Surat is a city with a population of about 50000 or 60000. Previously, it was one of the main trading cities with the Gupta Empire, with a well-equipped port.

The port was the first to be shelled. Before it was shelled, there was chaos here. I don't know how many people died of crowding and trampling before the attack was launched.

In the roar of shelling, the shelled port burned up at a very fast speed.

Liu Ming is not surprised to watch the burning port. Most of the buildings there are easy to burn wood structures. In addition, there are too many kinds of cloth. Even if it is not especially suitable for incendiary bombs, it is only some solid bombs. Destroying buildings and smashing all kinds of gadgets will inevitably lead to fire.

After two rounds of shelling on the port, gunships began to attack the city.

Surat is a city with full A-San characteristics. It has four corner earth yellow walls. Some of the highest places look at the depth of manors and temples. One area looks beautiful, and more areas are messy.

The first thing gunships attack is not the urban area where dignitaries live, but the chaotic area.

Eleven gunships, 66 large caliber bronze guns, with a maximum caliber of 320 mm, and the rest will not be less than 220 mm. Medium caliber bronze guns, which are composed of 150 mm and 180 mm, have a total of 330 guns, but only 15 guns on each side of the gunship.

Gunships do not have bronze guns with the a calibre of the less than 150 mm.

The expeditionary fleet was naturally happy to see their own gunships venting their vitality. The personnel who were not on duty talked about how powerful their own gunships were and guessed how miserable the enemy was.

"Yes." Huan Wen put down his telescope and said with great satisfaction, "the three rounds of shelling have completely disrupted a city. If he sends troops to land again, it will not be difficult to capture the city."

Only three rounds of shelling fired 693 pieces of ammunition.

In fact, this number is not much, especially for a city, but its role is unparalleled.

Not many people die directly from shells. Most shells hit buildings. Many people died in this shelling, but most of them died in the collapse of buildings and the subsequent fire, followed by their own pushing and trampling, or killing each other in order to fight for a way to escape.

Yuan Qiao was still holding a telescope to watch: "where did they have the courage to fight against the big man?"

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

"Ah?" Yuan Qiao did not know some of the stems of the core dignitaries and asked curiously, "who?"

Huan Wen smiled demurely. There are some things that need a certain degree of identity and status, such as the contact time with the emperor and how casual the emperor will be when contacting himself.

At the end of the three rounds of shelling, all gunships were ordered to return to construction. The Han Army had no intention of landing at all. The fleet set sail again in a swagger against the background of fire on the land.

When the expeditionary fleet sailed to the protruding part of the peninsula and passed through the areas with cities on the coastline, Huanwen would let more or less gunships go for shelling.

Huan Wen meant nothing else. He used this behavior to announce the arrival of the expedition fleet and give the two satraps the greatest terror.

"We have plenty of shells and gunpowder." Yuan Qiao was very much in favor of shelling the two satrapu cities along the route: "they don't know where we really attack, which is conducive to the next landing operations."

They are going on an expedition to Europa. They may only bring a little gunpowder and shells. They must carry enough, but they can't master the manufacturing method. They will get a batch of supplies every few months.

The expedition fleet arrived at a cape area and faced an original environment.

"We are going to land here?" Liu Ming saw that there was still a red land, and he couldn't see too many other colors: "it's so desolate!"

The Cape is called duvalka by local people. There are no cities within dozens of miles, but some villages are scattered. It is not more than 200 nautical miles from bossasan in terms of sea area, but it takes nearly 700 miles on land.

"The documents for the Tianzhu shogunate should have arrived." Huan Wen touched his chin and asked, "it should take another half a year to send the official documents to the West shogunate?"

The position of the expedition fleet is very special. It can not only cooperate with the Tianzhu shogunate to attack the two satraps, but also coordinate the military action of the West shogunate against Persian Sasan.

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

The so-called unlimited right to war means that Huan Wen does not need to be confirmed by the center if he wants to attack anyone along the way. At the same time, he can freely carry out military actions he deems necessary.

"Control the ocean..." Huan Wen was extremely happy: "it's equal to controlling the initiative."

During the 14th year of Yuanshuo, Huan Wen knew the importance of the sea. He found that as long as those countries had coastlines, they were within the scope of attack. The difficulty was whether the navy of the Han Empire could find routes.

For those Member States of the anti Han axis, it is unfortunate that the Han Empire has mastered the route from the sea to their coastline. It is not that the navy of the Han Empire has not arrived, but that the Han Empire feels the need to launch an attack from the sea.

Landing and controlling the Cape had no difficulty for the expedition fleet. They landed and occupied it very easily, and there was still room to explore the inland and coastline.

On the seventh day after their landing, the peripheral Han army sent someone to report to Huan Wen. The two satraps sent envoys to discuss the surrende
