Chapter 864

Moroccan players share the same hatred, but their morale is strong.

The expeditionary army didn't care about it at all, and did what they should do, everything was orderly and orderly.

Seeing the field army rushing to the battlefield, the second formation of the Mediterranean Fleet immediately ended its violent bombing of Rabat, then withdrew from the port and gradually disappeared on the sea.

The second formation will go to the overseas material reserve base, escort the merchant ships, and transport the huge amount of materials hoarded on the deserted island to the satellite city to deliver supplies to the army.

Even with Jia Xu's "poisonous plan", it would not be possible for the expeditionary army to break through a royal city in a day or two. Therefore, it is very important to deliver the logistics materials in place.

Taking down the satellite city is a strategy that the expeditionary force has set long ago.

The first fleet of the Mediterranean Fleet returned to the river bank north of Rabat, exerting continuous pressure on the northern city with artillery fire, and at the same time exerting psychological pressure on the people in the city.

Due to the limited artillery shells carried by the fleet, the firepower was reduced to only one-fifth of its peak period.

In addition to the main warships deterring the city of Rabat on the river, small and medium-sized warships such as warships in the fleet are also busy. Their mission is to drive the merchants, coolies, fishermen and other people who are still stranded in the port wharf to stock up on the wharf. All the supplies were transported to the satellite city through the battleship.

The Mediterranean Fleet attacked suddenly, but these people who lived on the pier were unable to escape back to the city. When the war started, they were like a group of poor people, obediently staying at the pier, not daring to go anywhere.

If there is a slight change, the crossbowmen on the battleship will shoot and kill without mercy.

Facing such a group of "devils", how could the people at the dock dare to be negligent, and obediently followed the sergeant's request, and carried bags of rice, baskets of sea fish, and boxes of goods onto the warship.

When the businessmen saw it, their hearts were bleeding.

Originally, the port of Rabat was a large wharf, and these goods were prepared by merchants to sell to merchant ships. Not only the quantity is sufficient, but also the variety is rich, which can almost meet the various needs of merchant ships.

This is completely cheap for the expeditionary force.

Of course, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty was not bandits, let alone pirates. In official terms, they came to "rescue the people of Morocco from fire and water, and lead everyone to get rich together."

Therefore, the materials removed are only "borrowed", and the army also issued an IOU.

Once the war is over, the merchant can go to the future governor's office to redeem the supplies or exchange them for gold coins of the same value.

The merchants didn't believe it, but they still carefully kept the IOU.

In the future, when the Moroccan Provincial Governor's Yamen is established, the legality of these IOUs will indeed be recognized, making those businessmen who accidentally lost their IOUs regretful.

The merchants who unfortunately died during the war, of course, are another story.

As for the war of words between the provincial governor's office and the Privy Council over whether this bad debt should be included in the provincial financial expenditure or military expenditure, it is another matter.

Just one point, the instigator, Ouyang Shuo, who signed the IOU, every time he inspected the Morocco province, faced with the questioning of the governor of the province, he would always gossip about him and change the topic, making people very helpless.

A smart businessman didn't cash in the IOU, but had a whim, and kept the IOU as a collectible in a precious place. A few years later, the IOU with King Xia's autograph was sold for a sky-high price of 200,000 gold coins at an underground auction.

The Moroccan players saw the people on the dock being bullied and their supplies robbed, but they dared not leave the city.

Fighting against the field army of the Great Xia Dynasty, the players still have a little confidence, but if they fight against the Mediterranean fleet on the river, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

The fall of Udaya Castle was a bloody lesson.

Although Morocco has a long coastline, but because it is located on the African continent, it does not have a decent navy. Only in this way did the Mediterranean Fleet show off its might here, and there was nothing it could do.

In addition to gnashing their teeth, the Moroccan players could only stare blankly.

…………

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo left the flagship Sano with Shenwuwei and came to the satellite city. In just a short while, Bai Qi had already set up a frontline command post in the City Lord's Mansion to welcome the King.

Ouyang Shuo was quite satisfied with the results of the expeditionary force in the morning, with a smile on his face.

As soon as they arrived in the satellite city, Kalia sent a letter, telling them all the "big drama" that happened in the city of Atlantis in the morning.

Ouyang Shuo looked at it, and his face became more relaxed.

The enemy's reaction did not exceed the expectations of the Great Xia Dynasty before the war. The Spanish Armada dared to jump out to disrupt the situation this time, and the Mediterranean Fleet would naturally prepare them with great gifts.

Just this morning, the fourth fleet of the Mediterranean Fleet has rushed to the Strait of Gibraltar. As a result, near the strait, the Mediterranean Fleet has deployed three formations.

Calculating carelessness with intention.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to see how capable the reorganized Spanish Armada was.

As for Caesar's jumping up and down, Henry's prudent defense and Pedro's refusal, Ouyang Shuo can figure it out even if he is not in Atlantis.

Through Kalia's handwriting, Ouyang Shuo felt as if he was in the city of Atlantis. With cold eyes, he watched the big show from high above, and saw through the minds of the performers.

For these European lords, Ouyang Shuo not only had impressions from his previous life, but in this life he has obtained more detailed information through the Black Snake Guards and has a clearer judgment.

As long as the lords in the Mediterranean Sea don't really unite, there won't be any big changes in the attack on Morocco, and Ouyang Shuo's mood will naturally improve.

Next, all it takes is patience.

…………

In the afternoon, after a short rest, the expeditionary force began to go out of the city to conduct a tentative attack on the city of Rabat.

This time it was still the Fifth Corps of the Longxiang Army, while Lu Bu led the Third Corps of the Imperial Guards to raid the periphery to prevent the Moroccan Guards from suddenly leaving the city for a surprise attack.

Shi Dakai's performance in the morning has obviously initially won the trust of Bai Qi, the commander in chief of the army.

Bai Qi asked the Fifth Army to fight, naturally he wanted to find out the defensive weakness of Rabat through continuous testing, and find out the enemy's defense mode, so as to prepare for the decisive battle in the future.

Shi Dakai understood Bai Qi's intention very well.

In the afternoon, the Fifth Army's attack could be said to be multi-pointed, with flexible tactics, not seeking meritorious deeds, only probing. In some areas, Shi Dakai just clicked to the end, just like a superficial touch; while in some areas, Shi Dakai suddenly threw in heavy troops, launching round after round of vicious attacks in a posture that was about to break the city.

No matter how many people died, Shi Dakai didn't blink his eyes.

Shi Dakai's purpose is naturally to test the endurance limit of the defending troops, so as to know what to expect. On this point, Shi Dakai can be described as rich in experience, with a sharp vision and a calm mind.

Otherwise, the task cannot be completed beautifully.

If it is a mediocre general leading the army, his vision is not vicious enough, and he cannot be keenly aware of the enemy's defensive weaknesses in a rapidly changing battlefield, but instead attacks the enemy's impregnable defense nodes as weaknesses, then even if he invests more No matter how many troops there are, no matter how great the sacrifice is, it will be in vain.

This so-called: "Famous generals get twice the result with half the effort, mediocrity gets twice the result with half the effort."

After Shi Dakai did this, the soldiers of the Fifth Army did not dare to underestimate this army leader.

"Is such a black-faced general a coward? He really blinded us." The soldiers thought so.

Beicheng District, which has been blasted open, is the key area for Shi Dakai to explore.

For the northern urban area, the Fifth Army used battalions or brigades as combat units and frequently broke into the streets of the city. The two sides surrounded the ruins of the city, and there were several small-scale confrontations. Without exception, although the Moroccan Janissaries had a convenient location, they couldn't get any cheap from the Fifth Army.

The battle losses of both sides were only 50-50.

One major weakness of the Royal Guards is the lack of actual combat. When Gaia derived the Imperial City Imperial Guard, he could give the Imperial Guard soldiers the best combat readiness, the best training, and the highest rank.

The only thing that cannot be bestowed is the murderous aura on the battlefield and the real experience of fighting against the enemy. After all, the number of the Imperial Guards around the world is so large, and without real-time drills, Gaia would not be able to reach the sky.

How can a group of soldiers who have never really killed anyone deserve the title of "Iron-Blooded Master".

Although the Fifth Army of the Longxiang Army was reorganized from the armies of the southern Fujian provinces, it was still a regular army that grew up fighting all the way, and it was stronger than the King City Imperial Guard Army.

Bai Qi's move may not have the intention of tempering the Fifth Army.

This time, along with the Fifth Army Corps, there was also the Secret Service of the Military Intelligence Department belonging to the Longxiang Army. Under the cover of the army, the secret service was collecting intelligence on the front line openly.

Facing the provocation of the expeditionary army, the Moroccan Guards could bear it, but the Moroccan players were not happy.

Since the beginning of the national war, the Moroccan players have been suffocating in their hearts. In the afternoon, they took all this anger on the military intelligence department.

The players are in groups of three or five, and they frequently move around in Beicheng District, searching and arresting carefully, and call it "hunting!"

It has to be said that adventure players are quite good at such small-scale contests. They are not good at army battles, but they have accumulated rich experience in fighting wild beasts and bandits.

This time, the military intelligence department's secret operations immediately suffered heavy losses, and suffered a small and dark loss.

Seeing this, Bai Qi frowned slightly, but he didn't intend to withdraw from the front line, but arranged for the iron eagle swordsman to step forward to help.

When the Moroccan players saw it, they cheered happily, as if they had won a big battle, and their fighting spirit was even stronger.

It's a pity that they have met their opponents.

Every iron eagle swordsman is a master of martial arts, and has experienced no fewer fights than players. The collision between the two is very meaningful.

Although the small-scale fight in the afternoon was not big enough, it was indeed extremely thrilling and exciting.
