Outside Ivory Town, tens of thousands of natives attacked Ivory Town with drums and shouts. The spears, axes, and bows and arrows in their hands were all very primitive. The shields they used looked more like symbolic shields.
It has no real effect.
Almost all of them were naked, barefoot, and completely black. They didn't have any plan when attacking. They all rushed toward Ivory Town in a swarm.
"A bunch of rabble!"
"Although there are many people, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Liu Da took a telescope and looked carefully. After seeing the primitive weapons and lack of order in these people's hands, he felt relieved.
I originally thought that there were tens of thousands of people on the other side, but there were only more than 1,000 soldiers on my side who could fight. The difference in strength was huge, so it would be difficult to fight. However, these African natives were really too backward and primitive.
"Sir, these native Africans are not afraid. What we are really afraid of is the various diseases here. This African interior is simply a plague continent. There are too many various diseases, and many of them...
We still don't know how these diseases are spread, how they can be prevented, and how they can be treated."
"The lives of these Kunlun slaves are very primitive and backward, but they are not afraid of various diseases. This should be because they have lived here for generations and have already adapted to everything here."
Zhang Mo beside him also nodded and said.
He has been fighting in this area all year round and is very aware of the fighting capabilities of these African natives. Under the Ming Dynasty's muskets and cannons, these people are nothing to worry about.
The reason why the South African colony was able to expand to such a huge territory was that it relied on an army of less than 20,000 people to continuously sweep across the four directions and drive out and kill the local indigenous people.
It often doesn't take many people. A team of several hundred people can sweep across a large tribe. Facing the South African colonial army armed to the teeth, these indigenous people in the primitive tribal stage are no match at all.
"I will send a telegram to the governor later and ask him to send people from the South African Medical College to conduct in-depth research. If we Ming people want to conquer the interior of Africa, we must face these diseases."
Liu Da nodded. While the two were talking, the besieging natives were getting closer and closer.
"fire!"
Soon, the artillery opened fire, and with an order, the artillery began to spit out billowing smoke. When the strong wind blew, the smoke dispersed, and the artillery shells bombarded the enemy in the distance.
"boom!"
The shells exploded one after another when they hit the ground, and countless shrapnel mixed with terrifying shock waves spread in all directions, directly knocking down a large area of the surrounding indigenous people and causing heavy casualties.
Countless natives showed timid expressions. The Ming people's artillery was really terrifying and could kill them from a long distance, but their spears and bows and arrows were very difficult to hit the Ming people.
"Dongdong!"
However, the drumbeat of the attack never stopped, and even though he was timid, he still continued to attack.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Fierce artillery attacks bloomed on the ground, bringing down patches of blood and turning areas into places of death.
Soon, the attack speed of the natives was not slow, and they were all very good at running. They quickly rushed to the vicinity of Ivory Town.
"Free Fire!"
Zhang Mo gave an order, and suddenly the low city wall rang out with the sound of gunfire like fried beans.
"Peng!"
Countless bullets were fired at the indigenous army, causing countless bloody flowers.
The weapons used by the South African colonial army were weapons produced by the South African colonies themselves, and their performance was no worse than the weapons used by the Ming Dynasty army.
All are new-style rifles with fast firing rates, high accuracy, long range, all-copper-cased bullets, bolt loading, and extremely superior performance. They are named Hongzhi Thirty Rifles, which were developed during the 30th year of Hongzhi's reign.
Equipped with the South African colonial army.
This rifle and the Miyun Type 29 rifle are known as the most advanced rifles today, and the Miyun Type 29 rifle is the main rifle currently installed in the Ming Dynasty army.
Only the Ming Empire and the South African colony can manufacture such rifles. Other than that, no one in the world can manufacture such advanced rifles.
On the top of the city of Ivory Town, one can only hear the intensive sound of gunfire like fried beans and the skillful sound of soldiers pulling bolts. It is extremely clear and clear, which shows that the military industry of the South African colony and the level of machinery manufacturing are definitely among the best in the world.
Of course, speaking of itself, the arsenal of the South African colony was also branched off from the Miyun arsenal. The two are actually of the same origin.
"Peng!"
The firepower of the rifle is very powerful, far beyond what the old-fashioned muskets can compare with.
Even after equipping a rifle, you no longer need to use the three-stage shooting method, you can shoot freely.
Each bullet flew rapidly, and then quickly knocked down one enemy after another.
A few dozen meters outside Ivory Town is like an insurmountable chasm. No matter how many enemies rush over, you will never be able to break through this line and will be firmly blocked outside the line.
The ground was littered with corpses, blood flowed into rivers, and countless natives fell down one after another. Some were not dead yet, groaning and struggling in pain and powerlessness.
The whole process was a one-sided massacre.
The natives tried their best to rush over, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not rush over. They tried their best to shoot with the bows and arrows in their hands, but they could not even touch the edge of the Ming people.
Their bows and arrows are also very primitive. They are good enough for hunting, but when used in war, they are far behind. Not to mention the South African colonial army, which is armed to the teeth, even the Ming Dynasty army can be one-sided.
Kill these primitive natives.
They were so backward that they didn't even have war horses. They had to rely on their feet to walk. They didn't have shoes. They couldn't make compound bows, ladders or equipment for siege.
The South African colonial army used powerful rifles to deal with them, but it was really overkill.
The killing lasted for half an hour, and the natives finally collapsed and turned around and started running away.
There was no way to continue the fight. None of the Ming people were killed, but they had suffered heavy casualties. Thousands of them died without even touching the corners of the Ming people's clothes.
If you continue to fight, you will die, and nothing else will happen.
It's just that they want to escape, but Zhang Mo has no intention of letting them go.
"Kill out!"
Zhang Mo got on his horse, and the gate of Ivory Town slowly opened. He took the lead and took the lead and rushed out. Behind him, a group of war horses followed, fierce and murderous.
Although it is already the age of guns and cannons, war horses are still standard equipment, one for each person, for the convenience of marching, transportation, etc.
Only the Ming Army and the South African colonial army could do this, because they were both rich and willing to play like this.
Other vassal states and colonies do not have such luxury, but they are still equipped with a large number of military horses, mainly on the grasslands and pastures where many Ming people are now grazing cattle, sheep and horses. The prices are constantly falling, and it is easy to buy them.
Get a good war horse.
In addition to the war horses, there were also large trucks following closely behind. On the carriages behind the large trucks stood groups of soldiers, each holding a musket in their hands. Obviously they would not let go of those who walked on two feet.
of indigenous people.
On the ground, the two-footed natives were running desperately. Behind them, the South African colonial army, which was armed to the teeth, was already red-eyed. Rifles, sabers, pistols, etc. took turns to fight. Wherever they passed, these natives simply
Unable to resist.
The soldiers on the big truck kept firing, killing countless people wherever they passed.
Zhang Mo had already set his sights on the indigenous leader, and without caring about anything else, he led his men to kill the indigenous leader who was escaping in embarrassment, frightening the indigenous leader and fleeing for his life.
It's just that two feet can't outrun a four-legged horse after all. He watched helplessly as he was overtaken, and then his men fled in all directions like hozens, but he could only watch as the shining saber slashed at him.
After killing this indigenous leader, Zhang Mo was satisfied and did not bother to chase the others, so he rode back to Ivory Town.
The entire battle lasted for several hours, followed by the pursuit of the South African colonial army, just like a lion chasing an antelope on the grassland, except that the lion of the Ming Dynasty was also riding a horse and had a musket.
This time, all the indigenous people who attacked were killed. Only a few people managed to escape successfully, but they probably left a shadow on them for the rest of their lives.
"One-sided massacre!"
Liu Da watched this scene silently and could see it clearly through the telescope.
No wonder Zhang Mo said that he didn't pay attention to the indigenous people here at all. What everyone is really afraid of is the various invisible diseases here. For these indigenous people, it is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
"Why are there so many diseases on the African continent?"
“How to effectively prevent and treat it?”
"It is really a waste of resources for these indigenous people to occupy such a vast and fertile land. Such land should belong to our hard-working and intelligent Ming people!"
