Chapter 1213, Battle of Honor

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Addis Ababa is an ancient city with a long history.

    The ancient city built on the mountain has a tall city wall built of rocks, with the mountain as its back. Looking from a distance, it looks like a city in the sky standing in the clouds.

    Although it is tropical, the altitude here is more than two thousand meters, and the climate is cool and humid.

    King Chu, Mao Lun, Yang Zhen, Qin Yuan, Liu Jiang and others stood on a hillside overlooking the land in front of them. The clouds in the sky seemed very low, so low that they were almost within reach.

    The peaks in front of you reach straight into the sky, and the clouds are entangled between its peaks; the earth is green, and at a glance, you can see the undulating mountains and vast and high-quality pastures.

    "I didn't expect that a place only a few hundred miles away from Izumo Castle would be so beautiful."

    King Chu¡¯s eyes shone brightly.

    The Kingdom of Chu is located in the tropics. It is very hot and has little rainfall. It is not easy to develop. The frankincense and myrrh that were originally favored were not enough to support the ambition of the King of Chu.

    And the vast, fertile, fertile and cool-climate land in front of us is obviously more in line with the needs of the King of Chu.

    If nothing else, this vast pasture alone cannot be compared with that of a tropical desert.

    "Your Majesty, this Ethiopia has always been known as the roof of Africa. The altitude here is more than 800 feet, the climate is cool and there is abundant rainfall."

    When Liu Jiang heard this, he quickly told the information he had learned.

    "General Mao, after we capture this land, I am willing to give the general ten thousand acres of land. Every soldier who participates in this battle can get one hundred acres of land."

    King Chu rolled his eyes and said to Mao Lun beside him.

    "Your Majesty, you're welcome. We are also acting under the orders of the Emperor and we dare not take the greatest credit."

    Mao Lun was very clear in his heart.

    This idea of ??King Chu is very beautiful.

    Not to mention that the land in front of you still belongs to the Ethiopians, even if it really belongs to the King of Chu, it is not so simple and cheap to leave yourself and the more than 10,000 soldiers under you with a little land.

    Nowadays, in order to attract immigrants, various vassal states and colonies have a lot of preferential policies. A mere piece of land is not attractive to everyone at all.

    As long as you are a Ming Dynasty citizen and are willing to immigrate, you can get a lot of land wherever you go.

    "General, you are so humble. If there were no general, I don't know how many years and months it would take to avenge my shame."

    "After I capture the city in front of me, I will definitely express my gratitude to the general."

    Of course King Chu hoped to retain these Ming soldiers in front of him in this way.

    If they are willing to stay in their Chu country, they can easily have a strong army, but now it seems that it is not an easy task.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it after it¡¯s defeated.¡±

    Mao Lun said lightly.

    He is not a subordinate of the King of Chu. He is a general of the Ming Dynasty. You can completely ignore this King of Chu.

    Looking towards Addis Ababa in the distance, at this time, the city was already facing a formidable enemy. Soldiers stood on the city walls, nervously watching the Ming army rushing toward them on the ground.

    The fear in the eyes is naturally revealed, as if black clouds are pressing down on the city, making people carefully press it through the air, making breathing difficult.

    On the city wall, Naod looked at the Ming army marching on the ground.

    This is an army like a torrent of steel.

    The military formation is strict and orderly, with rows of soldiers scattered horizontally and vertically, giving people an extremely shocking visual impact.

    At the front was the cavalry unit, all five thousand cavalrymen riding tall Arab war horses, wearing armor, carrying bows and muskets, and the sabers on their waists shone with cold light.

    Following closely behind were the musketeers, also wearing armor, with scimitars on their waists and muskets on their shoulders. The bayonets on the muskets were bright and the blood grooves on them could be seen, which made people feel scared.  .

    The musketeers were arranged neatly, advancing straight on the ground like a long dragon, as if a dark cloud was pressing up towards them.

    Behind the musketeers are horses. Behind these horses are cannons. These cannons are huge and powerful. They are numerous and far beyond the capabilities of the few small Arab cannons on the top of the city.  Comparatively.

    The Ming army surrounded Addis Ababa.

    "Who is the king of Chu?The suspense of ??.

    In the face of powerful muskets, artillery and the rigorously trained Ming army, the Ethiopian army was simply vulnerable.

    Whether it was firearms or traditional cold weapon combat, they were no match for the Ming army. They fell apart. As the Ming army charged in, they began to throw away their weapons and flee quickly.

    In less than an hour, King Chu led his men into Naod's palace.

    At this moment, Naod was praying under the statue of Christ. When he saw the King of Chu and the Ming army rushing in, he was not surprised at all.

    "You can kill me, but you can never stop the light of the Lord from spreading across this land."

    "Sooner or later you heretics will be burned alive at the stake."

    Naod looked at King Chu with a ferocious expression and said the most vicious words.

    He knew that he was absolutely doomed and was too lazy to run away. Even if he escaped, he would probably be killed by the tribesmen inside in exchange for the Ming people appeasing their anger.

    What's more, without the army, he has lost control of this huge empire. A king without power might as well die gloriously.

    "Being burned alive?"

    "I can make it happen for you."

    After hearing what the translator said, King Chu could not help but sneer.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
