May 19, Rabat, the royal city of Morocco. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The meandering river Blai Greg originates in the Central Atlas Mountains in north-central Morocco, flows south of Rabat, passes through the calm seaport of Rabat, and finally empties into the vast Atlantic Ocean.

To the south of the port of Rabat there is a narrow strip of land that plunges straight into the Atlantic Ocean like a cape. On the promontory is a military fortress, the famous Udaya Castle.

The towering walls, the tall gates and the high raised watchtowers form the first ring of fortifications of the castle. The castle is filled with a magnificent main hall and various palaces, and in the middle is a garden with many exotic flowers and plants. Gasba, near the castle, is the place where the castle is located.

The majestic Udaya Citadel, which formed the outpost of the maritime defense of the royal city of Rabat. Any enemy army that wants to attack Rabat from the sea must first pass through the castle of Udaya.

The current king of Morocco, Mohammed VI, stationed 50,000 Janissaries in the castle.

Beyond the castle of Udaya, adjacent to the south bank of the Brig Greig River, is the main part of the royal city of Rabat. In this way, there are natural barriers to the north and west of the royal city, which can be described as a strategic location.

To the east of Rabat is a newly refreshed satellite city, guarded by one of Morocco's largest guilds, with the only entrance to the Underworld.

At this time, the satellite city is more lively than the main city, attracting more than half of the adventurers. Therefore, at the moment, the people who really live in the royal city are mainly life players and casual players.

In Arabic, "Rabat" means "bondage", and at first glance it sounds astonishing, why does the royal city of a country have such an ominously-sounding name?

Legend has it that long ago, Rabat was just a small village on the shores of the Atlantic, and the king tied up arrested prisoners and captured prisoners of war with ropes and ordered soldiers to take them to do heavy labor. As more and more people were sent, the village gradually expanded to the point that it became a city, giving it the strange name of Rabat.

The city of Rabat in the game is a typical Arab city, with red walls, many ancient Arabic buildings and mosques in the city, a thriving market, trees lining the streets, and gardens in the middle of the street.

Whether it is the solemn royal palace of Rabat or the solemn Hassan Mosque, they are typical Islamic style buildings. Compared with the steep and majestic Western Gothic architecture, or the overly religious Indian architecture, Islamic architecture is whimsical, solemn and varied, majestic and elegant.

It's like the dome of the Hassan Mosque, which seems rough but full of charm.

The streets and alleys of the city are full of various handicraft workshops, and the life and production methods of the residents still retain a strong medieval style.

In the early morning, a red sun slowly rises from the sea outside the city, heralding the arrival of a new day.

The sun shines on the dome of the mosque, bathing the entire temple in golden light, making it appear more and more sacred. The city of Rabat, which had slept all night, gradually woke up with the rising sun on the sea.

The workshop, which had just been closed for the night, resounded with the familiar sound of hard work.

In the streets and alleys, early risers walk out of the exquisite houses in the Arab national style, and gradually gather together to eat, work, or go to school, and start their new day.

For the people of the city, it was just an ordinary day.

The whole city is filled with a warm atmosphere of Arabian style, which makes people intoxicated.

The port outside the city is just as lively.

There is the fishing boat that gets up early in the dark, and it is now fully loaded. Summer is the most active season for tuna, and boxes of tuna are randomly placed on both sides of the wet road of the pier for buyers in the city to choose from.

In addition to tuna, there is also a variety of seafood.

Under the sun, the faces of the fishermen, who looked happy because of the harvest, became warmer and warmer.

The castle of Udaya, which guards the cape, is also bathed in golden light, and the soldiers who patrol the city walls at night are once again on duty. The soldiers, who had been on guard all night, yawned and dragged their tired bodies down the walls.

The energetic new soldiers took over the sentry posts, faced the rising sun, and began their routine patrols.

The soldiers did not look nervous, and for a country like Morocco, located on a corner of the African continent and bordered by the sea, war seemed far away.

Especially for the people of the royal city, they don't know what war is.

The only three remaining lords in Morocco are also at peace at present, each holding a stall, and no one can annex anyone, so naturally they have no strength to attack the royal city.

Compared with the war-torn and war-torn China region, this place is really a paradise.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, a tall sail suddenly appeared on the distant horizon. In the blink of an eye, the sails are getting higher and higher, and the number is increasing.

"What's that?"

The soldiers on the lookout tower of Udaya Castle were the first to notice the anomaly on the surface of the sea.

A soldier took out his binoculars and finally saw clearly the Mediterranean fleet, which had crossed the horizon, and muttered: "That's a battleship, not a merchant ship." ”

"Battleship? Can you see which country's warship it is? ”

"It's the Mediterranean fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty."

In the Atlantic, the Chinese Shenlong flag of the Mediterranean Fleet is unique and easy to distinguish. For half a year, when the Mediterranean Fleet went to the Atlantic to exterminate pirates, it occasionally went to the city of Rabat to temporarily replenish supplies.

Therefore, the soldiers of the castle of Udaya were no strangers to the Mediterranean fleet.

"Then it's no wonder. According to the general, the Mediterranean Fleet has recently exterminated pirates in the Atlantic, and not long ago they blocked the nearby waters. I guess this is the time to return from the extermination of pirates, and come to us to replenish them. ”

By this time, the soldiers were still unaware of the disaster.

When the alarm was lifted, the soldiers were aroused to talk about sex, and the conversation was naturally about the Mediterranean Fleet that appeared at the moment. A soldier said with a smile: "I heard that the Great Xia Dynasty has been unsatisfactory in the Mediterranean recently, the alliance has disintegrated, the allies have parted ways, and it has become the target of the Mediterranean. ”

"It's not, so now I can only show off my might in the Atlantic."

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the Mediterranean fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty loses the sea dominance of the Mediterranean, it is not something we can provoke. Don't forget, there is a dynasty behind them. ”

"That's right. I have heard that the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty is larger than our entire Morocco, and there are millions of ironclad heroes under its command, and it is even more rich in the world. ”

"Don't you see the Eastern merchants coming and going from the dynasty? All of them are rich and flowing. ”

……

While the soldiers were chatting, the merchants of Wangcheng, who had been doing business at the docks for many years, also discovered the Mediterranean Fleet. At this moment, the merchants' eyes immediately became bright and bright, and their eyes flashed with the light of gold coins.

"The big fish are coming!"

"Big deal, big deal!"

The merchants rubbed their hands unconsciously, unabashedly the greed in their eyes.

When the first and second formations of the Mediterranean Fleet entered the port of Rabat, and the merchants were waiting to sell the materials they had hoarded, something happened.

I saw that the first formation, which was driving at the front, did not stop at the port at all, but continued upstream along the Blai Greig River. More than 40 warships lined up one after another, and it was spectacular.

"What's going on?"

When the merchants saw this, they were a little confused.

According to the usual rules, every time the Mediterranean fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty stopped here for supplies, it needed to purchase a huge amount of grain and grass materials. It is precisely because of this that the merchants are very eager for the warships to anchor here for supplies.

It is strange that in the past, the Mediterranean fleet only stayed in the harbor and did not go upstream.

"Did they find out that we were asking for a high price?" The businessmen were a little apprehensive.

In addition to the main port wharf, the royal city of Rabat is on the south bank of the Brig Greig River, close to the main city, and there is also an inland wharf, which can also dock for supplies.

Although the two docks are less than ten miles apart, the prices of goods are different. Merchants often bully outsiders who don't understand the market and raise prices at the main pier to make huge profits.

"This is a miscalculation!"

Seeing the battleship resolutely heading for the upstream dock, the merchants were annoyed.

Of course, the merchants' frustration was superfluous after all.

Because the outbreak of war is often in an instant.

Just after eight o'clock, the Mediterranean Fleet, having taken its position, suddenly stopped. Before people could react, huge shells were fired from the guns on the battleship.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Both the Udaya Citadel on the promontory and the northern wall of Rabat were all within the range of artillery fire. The continuous artillery fire shook the entire city of Rabat.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

A lot of people don't turn the corner, and they don't know what's going on.

"It's the Mediterranean fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty, it's they who fired the cannon." Someone was terrified.

"Oh my God, what's going on, is there going to be a war?"

The people living in the era of peace could not adapt to this sudden change at all.

The first to react were the defenders of Udaya Castle.

The defender general's face turned black, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This group of vicious wolves, white-eyed wolves, shamelessly took advantage of our trust in them and openly declared war, shamelessly!! ”

"Quick, shoot back."

There are also cannons on top of the castle, but because of the shortage of funds, the entire castle is only twenty cannons, which is the only thing they rely on now.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The first round of shelling between the two sides began, and the sound of artillery fire erupted more and more fiercely.

Built on a promontory, the castle of Udaya is almost surrounded by the sea, and the walls are subjected to artillery fire on all four sides, deliberately arranged by the Mediterranean fleet.

The modified P1 gun was not vegetarian, and in the blink of an eye, the watchtower, city gate and other parts of the castle were "taken care of" by the artillery, and it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.
