The city of Abadan is located on the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (known as the Shatt al-Arab) because of the confluence of the two great rivers, where the water surface is vast and the area of the riverside docks is large. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the war began, a large number of sea-going ships could sail to China were moored here, and it was an extremely important shipping hub for the Great Food Country.

The ships returning from China arrived at Aladan, took the goods under their belt, transferred them to river boats, and traveled up the river to the Kusaiba area in the middle of the Euphrates River, from where they were transported to Damascus.

Due to the war, the dock area has been completely abandoned, and the large sea ships that were originally stationed at the sea are gone, and even small boats are not easy to find.

Naturally, they were not sunk by the Tang army, but docked on the west coast of the Persian Gulf to watch the wind, and even some large ships loaded with goods continued to trade with China, and they often arrived in the "Guangzhou" region of China, and China still welcomed the arrival of the big food and maritime merchants!

It has to be said that it is a great irony that two countries are fighting for life and death on land, but it does not hinder the connection of the maritime Silk Road between the two countries.

……

Bursts of cheers erupted from the walls of Abadan, which had been lifeless due to the siege, as they condescended to see the sails on the river in the distance, galloping towards the city of Abadan!

Look at the flag of the ship, it is the great cannibal sailor!

Their ships were smooth sails, and their sails were more visible than the ships themselves on the wide expanse of the river.

The Great Eater Army, which had hung its sails and ate in the wind, was very imposing, and hundreds of boats covered the river, like a shot in the arm to the defenders of Abbadam, making them cry out feverishly, and the originally low mood was in vain.

Our ship!

The royal court has not abandoned us!

The arrival of many ships gave great encouragement to the defenders of Abadan and strengthened their confidence.

In fact, it is not practical for the cannibal army to come here because the river is a certain distance from the city of Abbadam, and the arrival of the water army cannot relieve the siege of the besieged city, but according to the commander of this naval army, Zahivi does not think so.

In Damascus, there was a debate about whether to give the city of Abadan, and finally sent a naval army to support, they also knew that they could not directly relieve the siege, but they could increase the confidence of the defenders of the city of Abadan, so that they could fight desperately, and achieve the important purpose of depleting the living force of the Tang army.

There are more Tang people dead here, and there are fewer Tang people attacking elsewhere!

In addition, although the naval army could not go ashore, the light cavalry and infantry carried on it could find the weak points and opportunities of the Tang people's defense, and cut the Tang people at a convenient time, and at the same time contain the Tang army, so that they could reduce the pressure on the city of Abadan.

Zahivi is one of the few generals of the Great Food Army, his family was originally a fisherman, he has trained a good water character since he was a child, he participated in the Great Food Army when he was a teenager, and he improved step by step, so he dared to fight than the average big cannibal, and now the Tang Army and the Ma Bu Army are powerful, and the Ma Bu Army of the Big Food does not dare to act rashly, but Za Xiwei led the water army to cheer up the defenders of Abadan City to see if there is anything cheap to make.

In the same way, it is not easy for the Datang people to deal with his water army, so they will come down to fight us!

Long before the arrival of the Tang people, Zahivi and his colleagues cleaned the river like a sieve, took all the big boats, and drove them all upstream to collect them, without boats, how could the Tang people deal with him!

Thousands of miles away, how could the Tang people transport a ship as big as the Great Water Army.

As for the Tang people wanting to build new ships, it was not an overnight thing.

Zahivi didn't think that there was any difficulty in his trip, not even a danger, but simply a leisurely cruise.

Really?

Just as the Great Eater Army rushed to the water opposite the Abadan City River/Harbor, they dared to stab the sails and drop anchor, so they stopped on the water and laughed loudly at the Tang Army.

Tang rode back and forth, and naturally they couldn't help it.

Seeing Tang Qi's movements, the laughter of the big cannibal became louder

The 13-man costume was thundered, and the Great Water Eater heard a roar in the distance.

The sound could be heard far away through the water, but there was no shadow for half a day.

The sound became louder and louder, and finally appeared, and on the way of the Great Eater appeared a large number of small boats, about fifty boats, these boats were similar to the ancient Greek oar-scratching boats, the boats were not very large, only three points of the big eating boats, and the bow of the ship was tilted inward from the soaking place instead of the bow of ordinary ships, so that the resistance was not small.

It seems a little weird, but the clear-eyed general of the Great Water Eating Army sees the color of the sharp corners at the bow of the ship, and then looks at the speed of the other ship, his face is solemn.

There was a small bridge on the bow, and there were two sharp hooks on the outside of the bridge, I don't know what it was for, and besides, these boats had no oars and no sails, only two huge water turbines at the back of the boat, and by the way, there was a black thing on the ship, which kept spitting black smoke, and the front of the ship was two huge guards.

All in all, it's a strange ship!

I didn't use oars and sails, and I ran very fast suddenly!

The ship of the Don!

Whatever they were, the Great Eclipse ship got nervous and hurried to raise its sails and anchor, and the long-range forces of ballistas, small trebuchets, bows and crossbows were ready to be put on torches...... It's not the age of heat/weapons, but there is black smoke rising from every warship, and that's the torches and incendiary stuff that are ready.

The ships were all made of wood, and both sides were very focused on fire attacks, and catapults and arrows were all prepared to shoot fire oil.

It seems that the Tang people have been prepared for a long time!

Zahivi secretly thought that the other party had obviously hidden the boat in the upper tributaries of the Shatt al-Arab, and waited until the Great Water Eater had passed, and then drove out against them, so that they would not have the advantage of smooth sailing.

Cunning Don!

However, the ships on the other side are large, what use can these small boats of the other side come in?

For example, Zahivi's handsome ship is converted from a sea ship, and it is three stories high, how can the other party shake it!

He discovered the military order, and as soon as the drum sounded, about twenty medium-sized oar-scratching boats were the first to rush towards the Tang Army's naval division, and ten more large ships slowly turned and went upstream.

Dashi is located on the east-west traffic artery, learning from the east and west, the Greek-style oar-scratching boat is also made for them, the oar-scratching boat rides the wind when there is wind, and scratches the oars when there is no wind, and is flexible and flexible.

Although the galleon is said to be against the wind, the cannibal with good maneuvering skills is not a problem to sail in a crosswind zigzag unless it is head-on.

At this time, the sun was shining, and the distance between the ships of the two sides was constantly approaching, and the Great Food Army was waving their weapons and shouting constantly.

The Don ships were much quieter, but they caused panic to Zahivi.

Finally, the big cannibal first threw stone projectiles, and then scattered bursts of arrows, which fell towards the Tang ship.
