A huge explosion sounded like ripples from the side of the ship.
Seen from a distance, the entire deck of the ship suddenly lit up with flames.
Flames, explosions, and black smoke instantly overwhelmed the whole ship and caused it to sink hard.
Bang bang bang bang!!
Continuous red light flashed on.
The shells hit the hull of the ship one after another. The gunpowder exploded at the point of impact, and the wooden planks exploded, causing secondary explosion damage.
The splintered splinter wood slag was like a bullet, penetrating through the surrounding Thousand Religion Alliance sailors who were caught off guard.
The two ships endured continuous bombardment time and time again.
On the hills.
Zhang Rongfang stood with his hands behind his hands, and beside him was Shangguan Lianyue who was accompanying him.
In front of them was a row of artillerymen, musketeers, crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers arranged in formation.
There are a total of twenty mobile artillery pieces on the garrison side, all of which were mobilized by Shangguan in succession.
At this time, the positive electrode takes turns to ignite and bomb in order.
Shangguan Lianyue was transferred by his superiors to cooperate with the defense of Chenxiang Palace.
At this time, Zhang Yingdaozi woke him up in the middle of the night, and then brought people over to bomb two unidentified ships.
If it were anyone else, you might have to ask why.
But since Zhang Ying bluntly said that he is responsible for all the responsibilities, what else can he say? Damn it!
Shangguan Lianyue stood on one side, looking at Zhang Rongfang from the corner of his eyes from time to time.
This was the first time he met this long-rumored Taoist Taoist priest.
The product before was just fake and looked like a straw bag at first glance, but this time it was different.
To be honest, judging from the appearance alone, it is a bit elusive.
"General Shangguan, I'm sorry to bother you, General Shangguan, to send troops late at night." Zhang Rongfang looked at the bombed ships from a distance with a calm expression.
At this time, the two ships had begun to break apart at their waists and slowly sank.
A fire broke out on the hull.
Looking from afar, people the size of ant dots were scrambling to jump off the ship to escape.
"I will cooperate with Daozi's order." Shangguan Lianyue said with a smile, "I just don't know what the details of these two ships are, so they can actually provoke Daozi to personally supervise the battle and bombardment?"
He knew very well how powerful the cannon was. Not to mention ordinary people, even masters would die if they couldn't dodge.
Only Lingwei Lingluo and other god-worshiping warriors can survive.
"They're just some clowns, doing things secretly, maybe thinking that everything is under control. Unfortunately... they forgot where this is." Zhang Rongfang smiled.
"After all, there should be experts on those two ships, and the general will have to kill them in person later."
He could see that Shangguan Lianyue had his own thoughts. But so what?
As long as this person is a general of Lingting, he must openly cooperate with him. Otherwise, he will violate the order of Lingting.
The Taoist Sect is becoming more and more powerful now. If Shangguan Lianyue, as a master of Lingting Xuehong Pavilion, fails to cooperate with the order, it will be a treason.
No one else needs to take action, just give an order from above, and all you can do is lose your reputation and die on the spot.
"Since it is Daozi's personal order, I should cooperate with you." Shangguan raised his right hand.
Immediately, the two giant men behind him, who were fully armored and carrying tower shields and swords, slowly took off their swords and entered a combat alert state.
"You two, protect my Taoist son from safety. If anything goes wrong, take your life to make up for it!"
"yes!!"
The two giant men responded roughly.
The armor they were wearing looked as thick as a finger's worth of armor alone.
This kind of armor cannot be broken through by ordinary muskets.
ah!!!!
At this moment, an angry scream suddenly came from the direction of the two bombed hulls.
On the coast, on the pier.
The fire on the half-sunken hull illuminated the shore, becoming the only light.
Ahhhh!!
Zhu Wanguo raised his head and roared.
One moment, he had everything under control, and the next moment... everything was in vain.
Lowering his head, he looked at the remaining fifty people who had escaped in a hurry.
He brought a total of more than two hundred elites, but they were bombarded by a sudden attack, and only this few people were left.
At this moment, his heart is bleeding!
"Who...who is it!!!?" He roared crazily, his eyes bloodshot and his face ferocious.
The huge gap caused him to completely collapse emotionally.
He couldn't even imagine how his master would react if he brought so many people back.
Obviously...
Everything in his plan is obviously perfect!
Why!?
Why!!!!
"Only the army has artillery!" Han Jia and Ping'er were both Lingluo. At this time, Ping'er looked solemn and kept scanning the surrounding situation.
"Sir, we must leave here immediately! I'm afraid some soldiers are targeting us!"
"What are you afraid of! Go and kill the gunners over there first! What masters can stop us from doing this!?" Han Jia said angrily.
"Yes! Master, let's kill them! Destroy those cannon heads!!!"
"A group of big-headed soldiers who don't know how to live or die! Kill them!!"
"Sir! Kill!!"
Everyone was shocked and angry at this time, and they were woken up from their deep sleep, almost dying.
The fear and horror at this time quickly turned into anger, and they urgently needed to vent this fire.
"Where is Senior Qin, the One-Eyed Swordsman!?" Zhu Wanguo suppressed his anger and suddenly glanced around.
"Senior Qin went over there as soon as he was bombed!" A member of the congregation quickly replied.
"In that case... let's go too!!" Han Jia said.
"Shut up!" Zhu Wanguo suppressed his emotions, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
"No! How did we get exposed? We don't know anything now. The enemy is in darkness and we are in the dark. Let's spread out first! Don't get bombarded again."
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and quickly dispersed.
The violent bombardment just now may have cast a shadow on them for the rest of their lives.
Not all warriors have been bombarded by artillery.
Ordinary warriors really don't have this blessing.
"Withdraw first!" Zhu Wanguo suddenly suppressed the anger in his heart and thought of a possibility. "Let's withdraw first!"
"But Young Master!?" One of the leaders of Baibian said anxiously.
"No but! Divide into three teams, Li Zhang, Ouyang Dao, Chen Xiaoguan, you three will lead the team! Leave in three directions! Immediately, immediately!!" Zhu Wanguo immediately took the lead and rushed towards the wilderness away from Erythora sinensis.
Han Jia and Ping'er paused, followed by about ten people, and hurriedly followed.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and quickly followed Zhu Wanguo's instructions, divided into three teams, and left in the other two directions.
He just ran away not far.
In the darkness, groups of officers and soldiers ran into each other head on.
Amidst the sound of hissing crossbows piercing the air, as soon as they met, the officers and soldiers fired a volley of military crossbows.
Before everyone from the Thousand Sect Alliance could completely disperse and rush forward, half of them fell down.
"Life and death are here, kill!!!"
The two ninth-level men drew their swords and charged forward, roaring angrily.
But before they had even taken a few steps, the two men were hit by a dense second round of musket fire, beating them into pieces.
The two fell to the ground, with silver spiritual threads emerging from wounds all over their bodies.
The spiritual thread is about to heal.
Puff.
A burly, horn-heavy armored soldier wearing heavy black armor bent down and stretched out his hand, stabbing the wounds of the two of them.
Soon, a strange sound, like something being smoked, quickly sounded.
The two ninth-grade spiritual guards of the Thousand Sect Alliance were shaking violently and twitching, and the silver spiritual threads on their bodies were constantly struggling, trying to escape.
But it was to no avail. Soon, all the spiritual threads of the two men were sucked into the arms of the horn-heavy armor.
"Hey, it's nice to come out with General Shangguan..." A hoarse voice sounded from under the dark helmet of the heavy armored soldier.
The team that dispersed and escaped on the other side was also blocked by an interception team led by a heavy-horned warrior.
The regular army and the stragglers of the Thousand Religious Alliance faced each other bravely.
The military formation and the Jianghu style of play are facing off, and both sides have masters taking the lead.
In such open spaces, martial arts masters are basically massacred.
The elite members of the Thousand Religions Alliance were like a swarm of insects, spread out their movements and tried to escape in all directions, but unfortunately they were still a step too late.
Amidst the heavy gunfire, more than half of them met each other and were shot dead on the spot.
The remaining ones were injured by scattering, their speed was greatly reduced, and then they were surrounded and killed again. Only a few of them managed to escape.

in the dark.
The one-eyed sword Qin Xianghong's body is like a snake, constantly avoiding the flying crossbows and muskets.
Holding a fire in her heart, she quickly approached the artillery camp.
The artillery fire range of several hundred meters can be reached by her in just twenty seconds.
This was because she was constantly taking detours to avoid long-range weapons, which was the reason for the delay.
Seeing the artillery formation in front of them, Qin Xianghong had murderous intent in her eyes. She stepped forward and was about to move forward to kill them.
"If Dao Zicheng doesn't deceive me, he really has a master!"
Suddenly, a fierce sword light suddenly slashed down from one side.
Wow!!
In the night, the sword light reflected a trace of distant firelight, sweeping towards Qin Xianghong with a faint dark red color, approaching Qin Xianghong's neck.
"Who dares to stop me!?!"
Qin Xianghong shouted loudly, drew his sword and slashed forward.
Dang!!!
There was a huge impact and explosion.
The two blades collided head-on.
A horse-cutting sword and a single-edged heavy sword. The two are quite different in size.
But the strange thing is that Shangguan Lianyue's sword, a heavy weapon with a length of more than three meters, was forcefully knocked away by this blow.
He held the knife in both hands and was hit hard by the huge slashing force. He took several steps back until he stepped on a bulge of stone.
"Hahaha!! Such a master! Just what I want!!" Shangguan Lianyue's eyes flickered, the handle of the knife in his hand loosened slightly, and he was about to take it off.
But in the end, he continued to hold it tightly, and then laughed,
Immediately, he unfolded his body skills, stepped forward, and swung out a crescent-like dark red upward slash.
Both are Sankong, and the opponent's strength is very important.
It's a pity...if it were another place, another time...
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were fighting in the middle of the road.
The two knives, one long and one short, broke through the air from time to time, missed from time to time, and collided with each other and exploded with sparks.
"It's a pity that I don't know much about poetry. Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice to compose a poem at this time?"
Zhang Rongfang quietly watched the brutal fight between two masters not far away.
Next to him were layers of light armored soldiers guarding the Great Spirit Sword and Shield, as well as two heavy tower shield armored soldiers with exaggerated stature.
After he obtained clues during the interrogation on the ship, he and Zhang Yunqi immediately pursued it overnight, and finally found this mobile base of the Thousand Sect Alliance.
Without any hesitation, he immediately returned to mobilize his troops. He did not tell Shangguan where he was going for a month or who he would kill.
They just transferred people over and bombed them directly.
If this were not the case, it would really be impossible to retain this group of people from the Thousand Religious Alliance.
After all, these two ships have obviously been modified. They are likely to be extremely fast and can escape at the slightest sign of trouble.
Now, bombing first will not only prevent the opponent from escaping, but also greatly reduce the damage.
Those two rounds of artillery fire can at least reduce the opponent's strength by half, right?
"What are your names?" He looked at the two giant soldiers in front of him with interest.
The two of them were taller than him, at least two and a half meters tall. Extremely exaggerated.
And he is not tall and thin, but has strong muscles all over his body, otherwise it would be impossible to afford such a heavy armor.
"Back to my lord, I'm going to serve as Xia Lian'er."
"Xiaguan Qiu is like frost."
Two rough voices sounded from inside the armored helmet.
