On the port, there was a series of gunshots and bursts of fire, and everything was chaotic. The ships moored in the harbor scrambled for engines, and for a moment there was the roar of steam engines everywhere, mixed with the shouts of sailors. The two giant ships competed to set sail first, swaying side by side in the waves, and finally collided with each other at a narrow corner. There was a loud noise like falling rocks, and a dazzling fireball rose into the air. More ships, some had no time to untie the cables, some went in the wrong direction, and some did not light up the lights, collided, exploded, and sank. The harbor suddenly became a hell for sailors and ships. The sea dog stared at this scene with wide eyes and trembled all over. In the past years, he believed that he had seen countless chaotic scenes when he was wandering at sea, including shelling, gun battles, bloody gang fights... But those scenes were not as chaotic, terrifying, and full of destruction as they are today. Thick smoke, raging fire, endless wails, and panicked shouts are all stirring up the sea dog's tortured nerves. "Hey!" There was a sudden shout in his ears, and the sea dog was startled. He turned around and found that it was Liu Banxian.
"What now?" Sea Dog asked. "How to do?" Liu Banxian scratched his head, "We should ask you this. You are the captain. Brother Yin said that you were fit when we were on the ship!" "He always says this!" The sea dog sighed and had to start thinking about the countermeasures at hand. The fighting between the White Lotus Sect and the official army seemed to be concentrated at the entrance and exit of the port, and their current location was on the periphery of the port, which was further away from the door. Those who fired the cannons and guns were all officers and soldiers, which to a certain extent meant that they, who were actually on the periphery of the port, were actually at less risk of encountering stray bullets. Moreover, if they venture out to sail or launch a ship at this moment, the tonnage of the ships here is different. If their small ship is lightly touched by those 10,000-ton ships, it will fall apart in an instant. Perhaps it would be the best choice to stay put at this moment and prepare for sailing while repairing the ship. But he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he looked at the most powerful person on the ship with some expectations. Ren Qi noticed his pleading look, and just said coldly: "I don't understand boats, and I can't swim. It's useless for you to ask me." Seeing this, the seal couldn't help but sigh. But then, Ren Qi said: "Yin Xiu said that when he and Ma Xiaoyu come back, we will just wait." "But……" "Nothing, the most important thing right now is to repair the ship, the sooner the better. Do you think the war will only last one night? Tomorrow, it will be even more intense. Not only this port, but the entire Wenling will be involved in the flames of war. When the imperial warships and reinforcements from various places arrive, the place will only become more chaotic. " "Then what if someone comes over now? And those cannonballs?" Sea Dog's face was full of worry. Ren Qi glanced at him, "When the enemy comes, I will hack them to death. If the artillery shells come, huh, I know the level of the army very well. Even if I stand there and take aim at them, they can't hit them, let alone right now." The battle situation has become tense, and it is not certain whether those people can load the artillery shells. If by chance a stray bullet hits the boat, let's just pretend we're on the low side. "
Liu Banxian was quite confident, "Don't worry, as long as Brother Yin is not on the ship, our fortune will not be low." "That's true." The sea dog touched his chin and thought thoughtfully, "I have been running on the sea for so many years, but I have never heard of any red master or black master. However, the emperor happened to meet him as soon as he returned. There is no guarantee that this is not because of his low fortune. A manifestation.” "It's not impossible to guarantee, it's true!" While he was talking, Liu Banxian suddenly felt a whistling sound of wind above his head, as if something was flapping its wings. Looking up, he was stunned on the spot. Above their heads, they saw three huge airships floating in the air. The canopies of these large balloon-like airships are painted green, but the suspended cabins underneath are yellow, making them particularly conspicuous at night. In fact, the main reason why it is conspicuous is because the airship is lit up with lights all around, and huge searchlights are like eyes, sweeping over the port. "It's [Denglong]..." Ren Qi's eyes were full of bright fire. "Denglong? What is that?" Liu Banxian asked. "The imperial court's new technology was designed and manufactured by the foreign engineer Krupp. It is a flying weapon specially used to deal with rebellions in various places. The main usage is..." Before Ren Qi finished speaking, the three Denglong floating in the air had already demonstrated their special uses. From the pod, four portals were opened on each side, and four tandem machine guns protruded from the left and right sides. The muzzles of each machine gun were composed of four barrels, like four eyes. "Could it be?" Before Liu Banxian could finish his question, he was drowned out by a sound like a rolling torrent. The sky, which had been illuminated red by artillery fire, was now completely lit up, as if there were four suns shining brightly. The flaming projectiles poured down like a violent storm, falling from above directly onto the street in front of the port's main entrance. Right below the Climbing Dragon, everyone's temples and hearts were beating wildly, their blood vessels were bulging, and their eyes were red because of the roaring machine gun. The street in the distance was quickly covered in bright firelight, as if a fire was spreading, burning, and devouring everything around it. That place should be the front line guarded by the army, and in front of this front line is the White Lotus Sect, which is rushing towards them like a wave. Because they were unprepared, all the previous outposts and guards had been captured and destroyed in the first wave of attacks. Almost half of the city defense troops were destroyed immediately. Only at this time, the sky fire falling from the sky had completely choked the wave, so that the ferocious attack was finally completely subdued, and the streets turned into a burning hell. Denglong, one of the new weapons of the imperial court. Each airship has a crew of fifty, and is equipped with a total of eight rotating machine guns on the left and right, with hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition. Not only can you shoot with a machine gun, but you can also drop dozens of bombs at once through the hatch at the bottom, turning everything in sight into a scorched earth zone. When the fuel is sufficient, this behemoth can float at an altitude of more than 500 meters, making it impossible for any individual weapon to reach it. Only heavy artillery could pose a threat to it.
But the White Lotus Sect only has explosives, spears, scimitars, and talisman bows and arrows. The only thing they don't have is heavy artillery. These three Denlongs usually stay on the mountain facing the port. When they are not inflated, they only have a shriveled skeleton, which is not so conspicuous, so people cannot notice it. And at this moment, after it rises into the night sky, the eyes of the whole city are focused here! "Is this why you think the White Lotus Church failed?" During the pause in Denglong's firing, Liu Banxian still felt his ears were wet. "I had no idea they parked this thing here." Ren Qi's eyes were also a little dull, "Seven years ago, when I was working in the imperial court, I saw this thing and it scared me at the time. But at that time, it was not as dangerous and bloodthirsty as it is now." "Dangerous?" Liu Banxian wiped the sweat from his head, "It's simply evil. The person who invented this thing should fall into the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated." "He's a foreigner, and the Eighteenth Level of Hell can't control him." "Those who drive airships, and those who drive this thing, have to go down too!" …… Lian Gu was hiding behind a wall, surrounded by the White Lotus cultists whose faces were full of smoke. "Auntie! As soon as those three strange things rose into the sky, the sky changed color. Before our people knew where the projectiles came from, they were all swept down in rows. It was like cutting rice, and they were covered with bloody holes. !” "Mother Gan Lin!" Lian Gu slapped her palm on the wall. She had never received any information about these weapons before. I originally thought that such a strange thing, a big killer, should only be in the Imperial Capital, not in the city in the south of the empire. But it was obvious that the three airships were not transferred from elsewhere, but were originally stationed somewhere. This was an intelligence error. The behemoth of the imperial court was indeed beyond their imagination. But at this moment, whether it was annoyance or regret, it was of no use and was a bit of a drag. Biting her lips, Lian Gu looked to the left and right, scanning the crowd. "Senior Brother Feng! Senior Brother Yun!" "we are at!" The two men walked out side by side, with fearless expressions on their faces. “It’s time for the Iron Horse to take the stage!” "But aunt, shouldn't the Iron Horse be used to break through the opponent's line from the rear at the most critical moment? This is what the Holy Son said." "Now is the most critical moment!" Lian Gu looked at the fire in front of her and the corpses scattered everywhere under the fire. Before a cup of tea, these people were still alive and kicking, but now they were bleeding dry on the street. "Water has no constant shape, and soldiers have no constant momentum. Now is the time for the Iron Horse to take the stage. There is no hesitation!"
The two men looked at each other, then nodded firmly with serious expressions. "Okay, aunt, please watch our brothers and sisters perform such a big show." "Okay! My little sister is here to wish all the brothers and sisters that you will succeed immediately and become famous in one battle!" "Okay! The Iron Horse team assembles!" The two walked to the front and threw their cloaks behind them, revealing their solid muscles and bones. The expressions on the faces of these two iron-tower-like men now looked even more resolute and fearless, and their eyes were filled with a pious and determined look. Behind them, nearly a hundred people stood at the same time. Like them, they also threw their clothes aside, revealing two sharp knives tied to their waists. Not only are there two sharp knives tied to the waist, but also the white talismans tied around the waist like a belt. Everyone has a pair, distributed on the left and right. "Brothers, get on your horses!" With a shout, everyone took off the white talisman and tied it to their feet. The two of them stood at the front, muttering words, clasping their hands together to make a handprint, raising it above their heads, and connecting dots with their other foot on the ground. At the same time, several people gathered around with burning red sandalwood. The two leaders took half of the sandalwood, stuffed it into their mouths, opened their eyes wide, chewed and swallowed like sweet potatoes, and swallowed most of the hot sandalwood in the blink of an eye, shaking their heads. When the others saw this, they immediately held a handful of sandalwood in their left and right hands and slapped them on their chests and backs, splashing sparks. At this moment, the two people seemed to sense something, and raised their hands above their heads at the same time, stepping on the ground with one foot again. "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! The old mother of Wusheng supports her disciple and possesses her with the Nine Palaces' magical skills. She goes up to the heaven and down to the earth, and there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, copper skin and iron bones. Ghosts and gods give way. There are no taboos and unobstructed traffic. Taibao is walking like a god!" "The Taibao is so powerful!" Everyone agreed. The wind roared and the heavy breathing lingered, and everyone suddenly fell into a state of confusion. At this time, an old man came out. He was wearing a white robe, with feathers tied on his head. He held a red flag in his hand and a dagger in his mouth. He staggered, jumped up and down as if he were singing an opera, and ran to the front. After waving the flag in his hand a few times, he took out the dagger from his mouth and stabbed him from the wrist all the way to his elbow, dripping with blood. But the old man seemed to feel no pain at all. He just threw the blood-stained dagger to the ground and waved the flag with all his strength. "A vacuum hometown, a birthless mother!" "A vacuum hometown, a birthless mother!" "Kill! Kill! Kill!!" "kill!!!!" Amidst the loud shouts of killing, everyone in the Iron Horse team held two swords and ran forward, bringing up smoke and dust all over the sky. The speed of these people was extremely fast, just like cavalry on war horses. They swept across the street in an instant, so fast that it was dazzling. The gunshots started again, and a series of firelights fell from the sky. They merged with the firepower of the officers and soldiers on the street, forming an almost airtight fire net that enveloped everyone.
The front of the Iron Horse team was immediately engulfed in flames, especially the two men Feng Yun, who fell to the ground almost immediately and were trampled by those who came after them. The latecomers only took one step and were knocked down by a shower of projectiles. Aunt Lian was behind, and the eyes of the other White Lotus cultists turned red, and their hearts became increasingly sad. But at this moment, several people broke into the army's lines, one or two, followed by teams after teams, and rushed into the camp. When everyone saw this, their morale was greatly boosted. At the same time, behind the White Lotus Sect, the shouts of killing began again, and flags were raised high. "The master of Beidou Fist and his disciples are here to help!" "The Invincible Divine Fist Tongxuan Sect, come to help!" "Wang Xing of the Broadsword Society is here. He is here to help the White Lotus Sect. Who dares to stop him!" There were shouts and flags, which made Lian Gu’s eyes heat up. She immediately jumped onto the wall and waved to everyone, "Go! Kill all the Tatars!" "Kill all the Tartars!" The thunderous sound started again, and the White Lotus Sect stepped forward with the weapon in their hands, crossed the defense line and the wall of fire, and rushed into the battle line. Yin Xiu stood on the roof with Ma Xiaoyu on her back, surrounded by the cold night wind, and in her ears screams and cries mixed with the sound of gunfire. The entire Wenling has been turned into a Shura hell in the flames of war. Not only the fighting officers and soldiers and the White Lotus Sect, but also the people fleeing for their lives were also involved in the flames of war. Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu looked at the fire at the port in the distance, with many thoughts and complicated eyes. (End of chapter)
