Chapter 245: Death of Keane, Capture of North Coast Port
Although they were somewhat disappointed with the attack of Keane and others, which seemed too weak to break even the instinctive defense of the military formation.
However, Li Shu and Li Yu quickly issued the order to attack.
"Shoot!"
"Pah pah pah"
"Da da da"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of gunfire, the bullets blessed by the power of the military formation formed a firepower network, instantly covering Keane and others.
"Puff puff puff"
Not to mention that these modern firearms are not so easy to resist and dodge.
Not to mention that there is also the blessing of the power of the military formation.
Except for Keane and a few others whose strength far exceeds that of others, most of them were hit instantly, and were directly pierced by bullets in their vital parts, fell into the sea, and soon lost their breath of life, turning into corpses floating on the sea.
In just a moment, there were at least hundreds of thousands of Spaniards who had risen into the air and rushed towards the Jiaolong and Jiaolong II, but only a few dozen people were left.
Seeing this scene, Baron Keane and the rest of the people couldn't help but change their faces, and they felt extremely regretful in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the witchcraft and magic attacks that they were proud of did not play any role.
Instead, the attacks of those Celestials caused them to suffer heavy losses in an instant, and the wizard warriors with powerful magic were almost completely lost.
If they had known this earlier, they should have been checked or left directly.
But at this time, it was too late to regret, and they could only bite the bullet and go all the way.
"The power of the leader, the knight's sword that breaks everything!"
Keane suddenly raised the knight's sword in his hand and shouted.
The voice rumbled and spread, and the remaining merchant ships immediately spread out red and yellow light, gathered in the direction of Keane, and merged into his body.
In an instant, he was enveloped by red and yellow light, and his aura rose rapidly.
However, at the same time, this huge force also brought great pressure to his body.
In just a moment, his body expanded, veins bulged, and his white skin turned red, as if it could drip blood.
Under great pressure, it naturally brought great power. The knight's sword raised high burst out with a brilliant light that tore everything apart, and even the air around was violently distorted.
Keane's figure became hazy, and under a lens effect, his body seemed to have become several times larger, like a god descending to the earth.
Seeing this scene, the remaining people on the merchant ship and the remaining dozens of people on the sea finally couldn't help but smile again.
Baron Keane finally used this knight skill to break everything.
Back then, Baron Keane used this knight skill to directly split a large ship.
Even if the steel warships of the Celestial Empire were bigger, wrapped in iron sheets, and protected by supernatural powers, they would not be able to completely resist this knight's skill, right?
It is even possible that most of the hulls would be damaged.
At that time, even if they seized the two warships, they would probably have to repair them before they could drive them back to Spain.
For a moment, they even prayed in their hearts, hoping that Baron Keane would be more careful and not damage the warships in front too badly.
"Cut!"
"Swish!"
With a loud shout from Keane, the knight's sword in his hand chopped down hard, and a dazzling sword light that seemed to be able to cut through everything instantly chopped towards the Jiaolong.
"Swish~!"
With the sharp sound of the sword light cutting through the air, a straight sword mark extended out, and the sea below was severely sunken, and a deep crack that could not be healed for a long time was directly cut out.
"Boom~!"
The sword light fell on the green light barrier sprinkled by the Azure Dragon, and a loud rumble broke out instantly.
In an instant, the green light barrier began to vibrate violently, and ripples spread out.
Finally, a crack was torn on the green light barrier by the sharp sword light. The sword energy, which had weakened several times but still looked sharp, rushed into the army formation in an instant.
Looking at the oncoming sword energy, Li Shu nodded solemnly.
"It's quite interesting. It can actually break the instinctive defense of the army formation.
It's a pity that it's a little short after all."
While speaking, Li Shu had already put his fingers together like swords and slowly slashed towards the incoming sword energy.
The movement seemed slow and elegant, but it was actually as fast as lightning.
In just a moment, a brilliant green sword light shot out.
"Swish!"
The sword energy intersected, and the sword energy cut by Keane was instantly annihilated.
"Well, it's really good. It has reached the late stage of Qi training.
It's a pity that it encountered me who has already reached the realm of supernatural powers."
Li Shu sighed with regret.
Looking at the sword energy that annihilated Keen, it still glowed with green light and vibrated continuously.
"Go!"
As soon as Li Shu thought, the green sword energy shot out instantly.
Keen, who had just slashed out a terrifying sword and was about to break through the defense of the army formation, had just smiled when he saw a green light suddenly rushing out of the green light and shooting in front of him like teleportation.
Keen, who was shocked, instantly mobilized all his strength in his body and the power blessed by his subordinates, and instantly laid down layers of defense in front of him.
It was a pity that although the defense he had set up was powerful, he had the confidence to resist it even when facing the cannon.
However, facing the green sword light, he was like paper and was torn apart layer by layer.
The next moment, the green sword light pierced through his eyebrows, and a look of horror solidified on his face, and he lost all his vitality.
"Boom!"
Without the restraint of consciousness, the power in his body instantly rioted, and the red and yellow light bloomed. Keane's whole body was blown into powder by the violent power.
Then, the green sword light that pierced his head shook violently, and instantly split into dozens of small sword lights, rushing towards the remaining dozens of Spaniards.
"Swish, swish, swish"
In just a moment, they were also pierced through their eyebrows, died on the spot, and their bodies fell into the sea.
After seeing what happened in the blink of an eye, the Spaniards on more than 20 other ships were all stunned on the spot.
The cheering smiles on their faces were still there, but they had become stiff, and the object of their admiration and cheering had been killed by the Celestial Empire.
After being stunned for a while, everyone finally reacted.
"Fire! Fire!"
"Go! Go! Quick, turn left and go full speed."
Seeing the remaining Spaniards trying to escape, Li Shu and Li Yu immediately gave orders.
"Aim separately and fire!"
"Boom boom boom"
Accompanied by one shell after another, more than 20 merchant ships instantly exploded with flames, and countless crew members were blown away.
Even the hull decks were blown out with big holes one after another, and flames rose and spread rapidly.
For a while, all the merchant ships were filled with cries of crying.
The shells they fired fell on the Jiaolong, but they only caused ripples on the green light, and did not even touch the hull.
The same situation happened to the Jiaolong No. 2 warship on the other side.
It just changed from a blue light barrier to black.
On the other side, with just one round of bombardment, most of the Spanish ships were already crippled and could no longer sail. They could only stay where they were, waiting to be captured and contribute to the construction of the Celestial Empire.
Only a few ships escaped the bombardment by chance and were moving away quickly.
However, no matter how fast they were, could they be faster than a steam engine ship?
What's more.
Looking at the fleeing Spanish ships through a telescope, Li Shu just gave a cold order.
"Aim at those fleeing ships and cripple them for me."
"Boom boom boom"
In an instant, countless shells flew through the air and accurately hit the fleeing ships.
They were far from escaping the range of the Jiaolong.
"Boom boom boom"
Accompanied by a loud rumble, several ships instantly caught fire and began to sink slowly.
"Oh, I want you to cripple it, not sink it."
Looking at the sinking ship, Li Shu had the urge to hold his forehead.
The firepower was too strong, the enemy was incompetent, and there were so many spoils that sank to the bottom of the sea.
But it had already happened, and he had no other way, so he could only see how much spoils he could get on other ships.
The next thing was much simpler. Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like Celestial Empire soldiers, those Spaniards who had been frightened had no courage to resist at all, and most of them were taken over obediently.
Even if there were a few stubborn people who mastered magic, or wanted to fight back, or wanted to jump into the sea to escape, they were quickly killed by Celestial Empire soldiers.
The soldiers who were selected as the first batch of the navy, in addition to their extraordinary water ability, must also be the top existence in strength.
They were not much weaker than Keane, who blessed his subordinates and then burst out all his strength, and basically reached the late stage of Qi training.
And those remaining Spaniards with magic power probably just barely touched the threshold of Qi training.
And this is just the general realm, they are already far inferior to the soldiers of the Celestial Empire.
Not to mention the true qi in the bodies of the Celestial Empire soldiers, the quality and strength are far beyond the ordinary.
Just a wisp of true qi is enough to easily suppress them.
Those Spaniards, wanting to escape under their noses, or wanting to kill them, that is simply a fantasy.
After killing some of the jumping chickens and monkeys, the remaining people became more peaceful, all of them squatted with their hands on their heads.
Looking at more than a dozen ships and thousands of Spaniards in them, Li Shu frowned slightly, not knowing how to deal with them.
They only have two warships, and there is definitely no place to hold prisoners.
If Wang Dahu was here, he would probably blow them all up and sink those Spaniards into the sea to feed the sharks.
However, Li Shu is not such a character.
He always remembers what Wang Chao said.
Enemies, except on the battlefield, do not necessarily have to be killed. Capturing them for labor is the best punishment, and it can also contribute to the infrastructure construction of the Celestial Empire.
Moreover, there are still a lot of goods and gold and silver in those cabins.
In the end, Li Shu decided to take them to Dongfanwei.
Connect them with cables, and with the power of the Jiaolong steamship, they can still be dragged.
In this way, the group continued to head southeast, and soon arrived at the northern dock of Dongfanwei.
This time, Li Shu and his men did not shout again.
After all, Keane and others had attacked them before, which was equivalent to declaring war.
What's more, this is their territory, so they just need to fight.
"Boom boom boom"
After reaching the attack range, Li Shuli immediately gave the order to attack, and the artillery fire was instantly raging.
The Spanish fleet on the other side had also discovered the Jiaolong in the distance.
However, at the beginning, they thought it was Keane's team.
"Huh~? Why are Keane and his team back? Aren't they going to Japan?"
"Did they encounter pirates?"
"What kind of pirates dare to rob Keane and his team who have more than 20 ships?"
"Who knows?"
Some people shrugged disapprovingly.
No matter what the reason is, it has nothing to do with them anyway.
Just as everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a series of roars from the fleet in the distance, and a dense black spot flew towards them at a high speed.
"What is that?"
"That's a cannonball?!"
When someone with extraordinary magic power saw the flying object clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank and he cried out in surprise.
"What?"
Just when everyone was about to ask again, the countless cannonballs had already fallen.
"Boom boom boom"
"Boom boom boom"
In an instant, balls of fire exploded around, countless ships were on fire, and screams and wails were everywhere.
However, this was not the end. Before everyone could recover from this sudden blow, they were bombarded again one after another.
"Boom boom boom"
After a quarter of an hour, the entire dock port turned into a sea of fire.
Li Yu looked at these, and then looked at the dozen ships behind him, feeling quite speechless.
He felt that there was no point in pulling these dozen ships.
Then dozens of hundreds of large ships were directly destroyed by them. Could the cargo and gold in those dozen ships be comparable to them?
On the other side, the corner of Li Shu's mouth twitched, and he obviously thought of this problem.
However, since it has already happened, it can only be done this way.
The boat slowly approached the shore, and the army was deployed instantly.
"Ang~!"
The blue dragon circled, with the Jiaolong as the head and Jiaolong No. 2 as the tail. Endless water vapor gathered and instantly turned into a thick dark cloud. Under Li Shu's control, it floated above the dock port.
"Wow!"
The heavy rain fell and quickly extinguished the fire.
Then, one by one, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire rushed out of the warship, swept through the air and walked on the water, and rushed to the still intact sea ships and the port coast.
The swords and swords were flying everywhere, and the rebels were all killed. They soon established a stable garrison on the port coast. (End of this chapter)
