Chapter 643 The big cannibal that comes to your door
After Zhang Daan drew the chart, the galley left the Mandab Strait and headed east quickly.
"What's wrong? Just saying something to you makes you unhappy?"
"The commander-in-chief talks about you because he wants you to be a fleet commander."
"But it's actually good for you to be in the Marine Corps. The Navy can't always float in the sea. The Marine Corps is still very important."
Yuchi Baolin ignored the Marine Corps and asked Zhang Daan:
"Do you think the surprise attack on Medina that the commander mentioned is feasible?"
Zhang Daan said: "Of course it is possible. You have also seen that the Great Eater has few troops on the coast of the Red Sea. There is no problem for the fleet to enter the Red Sea."
"The rest is up to you Marines!"
Yuchi Baolin said a little depressed: "As you can see clearly, the west coast of the Red Sea is full of mountains and hills, and that Medina is still hundreds of miles away from the coast!"
"Our Marine Corps came by boat and we don't have a single horse. How can we transport siege equipment?"
Zhang Daan smiled and said: "You have to ask the commander-in-chief or Commander Liu about this, they will not be unprepared!"
When Yuchi Baolin heard this, he simply stopped thinking about it. It was not his turn to worry about it anyway!
The two of them headed towards Socotra Island at full speed. It would not be a good thing to leave the commander alone outside.
We have to go back quickly to notify the fleet to enter the Red Sea.
…
Here, Su Chen took the fleet to the port called Atqua and inquired about some situations with the locals.
I learned that the cannibal's rule in North Africa was not very strong,
I heard that the Berbers in the west of Egypt are resisting the rule of the Cannibals. Most of the Cannibals' troops stationed in Egypt have gone to the west to put down the rebellion.
It is impossible to obtain detailed information about the specific situation of the war and how many Berbers there are.
But it was enough for Su Chen.
Su Chen only needs to know that the cannibals have weak defenses along the Red Sea coast!
After staying in Atequi for two days, Su Chen decided to return.
The southern part of the Sinai Peninsula is also largely deserted, and Su Chen has no intention of going up there to take a look.
On the return trip, Su Chen asked the fleet to return along the west coast of the Dashi Peninsula.
Su Chen decided to record in detail the topography, port cities, population distribution and other details of the Dashi Peninsula on the Red Sea to prepare for the next attack.
The fleet slowly moved south along the coastline, constantly trading with locals along the way.
Su Chen asked the accompanying naval officers to record in detail the ports they passed along the way and the size of the local population.
Arriving at a small seaport called Yanbul, Su Chen ordered to rest here.
While trading with the locals, Su Chen asked the Persian guide to ask the locals if there was a nearby road that went deep into the interior and reached a big city.
Because according to Su Chen's calculations, this place is at about the same latitude as Medina!
On the same day, Su Chen and the navy officers also disembarked and landed. It was uncomfortable to float on the sea for a long time.
Su Chen decided to stay here for two days!
On the morning of the third day, before dawn, Su Chen was woken up by Xue Rengui.
"Commander! There are people fighting in the southwest of the fishing port. It seems like there is internal strife among the cannibals!"
Su Chen rubbed his eyes: "Keep staring and don't provoke us. It's time for us to leave today. Let the soldiers prepare and set sail after breakfast."
As soon as the order was conveyed, someone else ran in and said, "Commander, the two groups of people fighting each other are coming towards the port, and they are going very fast!"
Su Chen frowned: "Let's go, get on the boat first!"
When you are deep in the enemy's country, you should try to keep a low profile. It is better to do less than to do more.
When Su Chen came to the ship, the two groups of giant cannibals fighting each other had already arrived at the port.
It looked like a group of more than ten people at the back were chasing the people in front.
The big cannibal who was running for his life in front ran to the port. When he saw a ship at the pier, he rushed over!
Su Chen stood on the deck, watching the big eater running towards his ship, and cursed secretly:
Depend on!
The incident happened suddenly, and those big cannibals who were scattered around the harbor to gather information rushed back to the ship after receiving Su Chen's order.
At this time, there were still several crew members not on board, so Su Chen could not directly order the ship to sail!
Before the two navy officers on the pier could intercept them, the first two giant cannibals had already run to the gangplank, jumped onto Su Chen's ship.
Of course, this is also related to Su Chen not ordering the interception.
Su Chen saw that the two groups of giant cannibals were small in number and posed no threat to him, so he thought of simply asking about the situation.
Anyway, two groups of cannibals have discovered themselves.
When the first group of cannibals saw that the first two had jumped onto the boat, the following groups turned around and started fighting again with the other group of cannibals that had caught up.
Su Chen frowned: "Loyal servants and dead men, it seems that the two big cannibals who jumped on the boat are of high status!"
The two big cannibals jumped on board, yelled loudly, and threw out a few pieces of gold.
Even if you don’t understand the language of the big eaters, you can guess that the two big cannibals are telling the sailors to sail the ship quickly!
But without Su Chen's order, no one paid any attention to the two big cannibals.
Besides, there are still some of my friends on the shore!
Two teams of giant cannibals ran to the dock and started chopping each other up, white knives going in and red knives coming out.
But the two big cannibals who came back at the end were separated.
Seeing how ferocious the pier was, they hid on the shore and did not dare to come over!
Seeing that the sailors were indifferent, the two giant cannibals drew out their knives and prepared to chop people. It might also be a threat!
However, Xue Rengui from behind struck him in the back of the head and knocked each of them down with a knife.
Seeing the two men turning around to stop the pursuers, Su Chen asked Xue Rengui to bring them over.
Xue Rengui chose the most brutal method, knocking the two of them down and disarming them, and then lifted them to Su Chen like two chickens.
"Dasu, there is a girl!"
Su Chen ignored Xue Rengui, why did he care about whether he was a man or a woman at this time?
"Shout to the big cannibals and tell them that we are just merchant ships and do not want to participate in the fight between them!"
The Persians beside him hurriedly shouted in the language of the cannibal to the cannibal on the dock.
At this time, the two big cannibals on the boat also woke up and hurriedly yelled at Su Chen.
The two cannibals look very young, and one of them has a clear voice. She is really a young cannibal woman!
"Commander, they said that as long as you take them away, they can give you a lot of gold."
Su Chen smiled: "They don't seem to have as much gold as me, right?"
Su Chen and the Persian were speaking Chinese. The young Da Shi woman was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Lapu Pasu next to Su Chen.
He hurriedly changed to another language and continued chattering,
Although Su Chen didn't know what she was talking about, he could tell that she was speaking Persian this time.
Rapupasu frowned and said to Su Chen: "Commander, she said that if you sail the boat again, those big cannibals will kill us all!"
When Su Chen heard this, he frowned and glanced at the young woman in Dashi,
Seeing Su Chen looking at her, the woman took off her scarf and veil and chirped again at Su Chen.
