Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 880 Ambush from all sides ([-])

In Henry Cavendish's telescope, scenes of tragedy continued to unfold.

When dozens of rounds of shotguns and grapeshot were all thrown out in almost a second or two.

It did not appear that in the previous time, after the explosive bomb was fired, dozens of thick water columns were blown up on the river surface.

Then, one after another, the speeding dragon boats were blown up and overturned.

But in the specific scene, it was even more bloody and cruel.

After each round of grapeshot and grapeshot was fiercely sprayed from the muzzle, an astonishing number of tiny cannonballs immediately spread over the entire area in this direction.

After they were intertwined, they formed a dense and terrifying barrage.

This dense barrage of terror was overwhelming towards the position ahead, and it enveloped the area.

After hitting the surface of the water, there were too many small water columns rising up on the surface of the water. Suddenly, the river water on the surface of the water started to boil, as if it had been boiled.

After hitting the dragon boat, holes the size of quail eggs appeared one after another among the splatters of sawdust on the brightly painted hull.

Subsequently, the flow of river water poured into each hole was not large, but because there were too many holes, the total flow was quite terrifying.

Not long after, there was already a considerable layer of water on the bottom of the boat, which pressed down quite a bit on the hull.

But the surviving personnel above had no time to plug these holes, or use other containers to scoop out the river water.

On the one hand, such a dense barrage blew by like a strong wind.

The members on the dragon boat immediately suffered horrific casualties.

Because compared to the lead bullets fired from muskets, the grapeshot and shotgun fired from cannons are much more lethal.

After hitting a person's body, it is completely different from a lead bullet.

For example, Mr. Snake.

In Henry Cavendish's mind, this marksman, whose archery skills were completely comparable to the legendary 'Robin Hood', didn't even have the chance to use a bow and arrow.

He was wielding drumsticks with both hands and was beating hard when his left arm was hit by a pellet. The result was not a puncture at all.

Instead, a cloud of blood mist erupted on the spot, and only about ten centimeters of the entire left arm remained.

The members on the same dragon boat as him were bleeding in bursts.

wrong!It should be that in the splash of blood mist, there were also scary wounds on the chest, abdomen, head and face.

Under such horrific wounds, they died immediately, and their lifeless bodies tilted their heads backwards and fell.

Suddenly, with dozens of oars paddling, this dragon boat seemed to be flying on the river. Because no one was rowing, the speed of the dragon boat dropped rapidly after gliding for a distance on the water.

Fortunately, soon after, this ship began to fly again.

Because Mr. Old Snake used his only remaining right hand to tear off a section of the trouser leg, bit one end of the trouser leg with his teeth, and tied the broken arm hastily.

Then he picked up a drumstick from the red water mixed with a lot of blood in the cabin at his feet.

With one arm, he once again beat the rhythmic drum beat.

And the drumbeat that sounded again seemed to have inexplicable magic power.

The next second later, one after another, survivors or wounded who were covered in blood picked up the wet and bloody oars.

He pushed the corpse next to him off the dragon boat and let the boat float again.

Once again, the oars were thrust into the water, and they rowed together, making the dragon boat fly on the water again.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the dragon head at the bow of the ship was covered with blood from Mr. Snake’s severed arm.

Henry Cavendish always felt as if that dragon head was about to come to life and open its mouth to tear the entire Yin Empire fleet to pieces.

Then, there were two more huge explosions.

Two more warships in the Yin Army fleet suffered devastating blows...****
A few seconds later, on another dragon boat more than 200 meters away from the dragon boat where Mr. Old Snake was, another member of the Xuan Ge Battalion was killed in the eyes of Henry Cavendish.

Specifically, it was Mr. Yun Qing, who was said to be a Taoist monk.

While beating the war drum, he kept bouncing in place with his legs, causing the bow of the boat to rise and fall.

It seems that this method can increase the speed of some dragon boats.

Then in a burst of intensive artillery fire, several shotgun shells hit his waist.

Immediately, this monk Yunqing, who usually didn't speak much, but every word he said was full of some mysterious truth, was beaten in half.

I have to marvel at the terrifying vitality of the knights in Xuange Camp.

Despite such shocking injuries, Brother Yunqing still did not die immediately.

But it was just that he did not die immediately, but would suffer more shocking pain; but monk Yunqing seemed to be concerned not with his own death and pain, but with his inability to beat the war drum.

With only half of his body left, he was lying on the bow of the boat. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach the drum head by straightening the arm holding the drumstick.

After seeing this scene, Henry Cavendish instinctively crossed himself on his chest and muttered:
"Brother Su! Please protect this lamb~"

What made Henry Cavendish have such a reaction was that he could not understand the true Taoism preached by Yunqing, which did not rely on the worship of believers.

Instead, they make a living by farming, treating people, telling fortunes, and reading Feng Shui.

In short, it is a bit difficult to understand the means of living without relying on incense money.

But it didn't hinder him at all from his heartfelt respect and admiration for Yun Qing and the true Taoism he spoke of.

I don’t know if it was Henry Cavendish’s prayer that had an effect; or it was the Sanqing Patriarch on the other side of Yunqing who had an effect.

Anyway, before Brother Yunqing died of rapid bleeding.

An Oriental farmer in his 40s picked up the drumstick and banged the big drum again to let the dragon boat continue to move forward.

Brother Yunqing closed his eyes with joy in the sound of drums.

Seeing this, Henry Cavendish crossed himself again.

That's because as these dragon boats continued to advance, they were about to enter the range of the fleet's muskets; Hu and others on the dragon boats also stopped beating the drums and took bows and arrows in their hands.

When the battle between the two sides was about to become more intense, he instinctively made such an action again.

It's just a prayer, a prayer. Specifically, which party he expects to have the last laugh, even he himself can't tell clearly...

Frankly speaking, the final process of the dragon boat charge was a little easier than Henry Cavendish expected.

It was at a critical moment. On the upper decks of two third-level battleships, the sailors who were about to raise their muskets and fire suddenly broke into chaos.

Those are Ms. Imperial Concubine and Mr. AT,

They didn't know what kind of means they used, but they magically appeared on the deck with a splash of wet water all over their bodies.

The long knife in his hand was waving, harvesting the lives of the sailors with astonishing speed and terrifying efficiency; so that these people could no longer care about firing at the dragon boat.

It also caused the fleet's firepower to suddenly decrease a lot.

Among them, the giant sword in Mr. AT's hand has an astonishing sharpness.

There was even a scene where he swung the machete and chopped in a circle, and a total of six sailors were cut into two pieces. Such a crazy killing method frightened the poor sailors.

Madam, the samurai sword in her hand is also quite sharp.

What concerned Henry Cavendish was not how she slashed the sailors with her sharp samurai sword.

It was the concubine who was wearing a cool bikini. The kind of style she showed in the battle not only did not make people feel any evil thoughts, but instead gave him an illusion:
That was their great Yin's former sworn enemy and the highly respected Gallic war goddess Joan of Arc. She was fighting unyieldingly in front of him.

This is also the scene that this foreign devil has the most profound memory of tonight...
