Rise of the Empire Total War
four hundred and four
"Mauricio, hurry up and help me, damn it, if you dare to be lazy, I will break your leg!"
Sharp shouts resounded in the pier, followed by a burst of chicken and egg beatings. A naked boy strode through the crowd, and almost bumped into the coolies carrying heavy loads several times, causing the rude coolies to cry out. Unpleasant expletives.
The scolded boy didn't care. He turned his head and made faces at the coolies while running. Those people were so angry that their teeth were itchy, but they still didn't dare to put down their heavy objects and chase after him to beat him. Babies know each other.
Before he ran far, this young man named Mauricio was caught by a tall middle-aged man. He had bushy beards, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked quite vicious. It was a middle-aged man who lived in him, and the young man didn't dare to be skinny anymore. He immediately collapsed, dejected, and waited for the middle-aged man's scolding and lessons.
However, the imaginary lesson like a storm did not come, he couldn't help mustering up the courage to look up at the middle-aged man strangely, but saw that his attention was not on himself, but on the people on the street. At the other end, he followed the trend and saw that it was his mother who was holding a wooden stick. His mother was so vicious that she wanted to swallow him alive.
"Damn guy, where have you been running all day long?" As soon as she walked in front of Mauricio, the mother yelled, and raised the wooden stick in her hand to hit him, but was caught by the middle-aged man. He stopped him and persuaded him: "Don't do anything yet, if you want to beat him, you have to wait for him to finish his work before you beat him."
Hearing this, Mauricio, who was still secretly happy because his father spoke for him, darkened, knowing that this beating would not escape him. He had been looking for a chance to escape from this poor home, to join the army or join the league. Wandering around, but after all, he is still a sixteen-year-old boy with no money on him. If he fled rashly, he might die outside, so he can only continue to succumb to the majesty of his parents and let them drive him.
This is the real situation of the free people at the bottom of the Acarnanian Alliance. They can only do the hardest and dirtiest work, and their children will be forced to work by their parents after they reach a certain age, earning low wages Subsidize the family. However, compared to all kinds of dirty work, enlisting in the army can also get some military pay. According to the laws of the Acarnanian Alliance, except for citizens who are voluntary to join the army and a few free people, the rest of the soldiers can get a small amount of military pay Subsidies are provided, and after the soldiers die in battle, their families will also receive pensions. Although they get more money for joining the army, it is not quick money, and it will be paid when the war ends.
Therefore, for most poor people in their families, joining the army is not a good choice. Unless they are really desperate, they will not let their family members join the army. Therefore, as soon as Mauricio expressed his intention to join the army, he was immediately rejected by his parents and was beaten severely with a wooden stick in order to dispel his stupid idea.
And scolded Mauricio, who was downcast like a defeated rooster,
His father finally let go of him, kicked Mauricio's butt hard, and said, "Go and forge old Moser, if you are late and your wages are deducted, you won't even think about eating at night!"
"Yes, yes, I know." Mauricio muttered aggrievedly while covering the place where he had been kicked. He hadn't taken a few steps when he heard a rush of alarm bells above his head. Subconsciously, he looked up at the place where the sound sounded. It was a lighthouse built in the port. This lighthouse usually not only guides the passing ships, but also warns when the enemy is coming.
But now, the alarm bell that hadn't sounded for a long time was actually sounded, and it was still so urgent.
Mauricio was shocked, and looked at the distant sea level with everyone around him. The next second, his pupils shrank violently, and then suddenly expanded. On the distant sea level, a large number of black background yellow The battleship with the flag of the double-headed eagle is sailing towards Patri Dava Port in a mighty manner. At first glance, it seems that the entire sea is filled with the Winsters' navy!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
clang clang clang——
Amidst the rapid ringing of the bell, the port of Patridava was in chaos. Countless civilians rushed towards the city screaming, while the heavily armed soldiers were going upstream against the dense crowd, trying to board warships to fend off the enemy. The giant crossbows on the city wall were also loaded with crossbows under the operation of the soldiers, aiming at the approaching Winster navy in the distance.
The urgent alarm was also transmitted to the large chamber near the port, and the congressmen who were in a meeting were surprised when they heard the sudden alarm. At first, they thought it was a soldier who sounded the alarm by mistake, but such a hasty voice could not be The ringing sounded by mistake, and before they sent anyone to inquire, a soldier stumbled in and rushed in, shouting at the same time: "Wen, the Winsters' navy has hit the port!"
"What!?" Everyone was shocked. Just as the chief speaker wanted to ask the specific situation, there was a thunderous roar from outside. This roar seemed to turn on a switch, followed by continuous artillery roar, countless black The shadow flew out of the sparks from the muzzle at high speed, crossed hundreds of meters of sea surface in just a few seconds, and fell into the chaotic port with a shrill scream.
The entire port suddenly felt like the end of the world. All the large and small merchant ships and warships moored in the port were bombed indiscriminately by the Winsters' artillery. Every shell could penetrate the wood on the surface of the ship and smash the hull out. A hideous hole. Those sailors and soldiers who were trying to board the ship were blown into the water one after another, or were smashed into the crowd by high-speed moving shells, plowing bloody roads, and the blood sprayed from the sailors almost covered the deck of the warship. dyed red.
The bombardment of the First Fleet not only aimed at the ships in the port, but also enveloped the entire port. A large number of solid shells smashed into the buildings in the port and the chaotic fleeing crowd. A shell pierced through the pillars of a building and then penetrated into the crowd, smashing the bodies of all human beings blocking the path to pieces. After penetrating dozens of bodies in a row, it hit hard on the gravel pavement. On the street, this is not the end, with the elastic force of hitting the ground, the shells bounced forward a few meters, breaking the legs of several civilians in front.
boom--
Under the continuous shelling, several buildings collapsed, and the civilians hiding inside were buried under the rubble. Screams and cries resounded over the port, and a large number of civilians ran on the street, but shells fell into the crowd from time to time, plowing a bloody road, and the whole street was full of blood, which can almost be described as hell on earth.
