How could cannonballs turn on their own? (Thanks to the Heaven-Exploding Gang's Divine Artifact Spirit for the bonus-update flowers
The soldiers on the deck of this large navy ship could even see the grinning grins of the Canal Transport Gang warriors on the fast ship, as well as the ferocious looks on their faces.
At this moment, they were extremely worried about their fate.
Seeing this scene, Pang Wanchun on the five-masted warship finally showed a proud smile and laughed proudly.
"How about it? I've said before that the artillery fire of the navy is useless. It has to be our Canal Transport Gang's trump card. The navy is no match for them at all. Wait until the brothers board the warship and capture Miao Tianqi and that Imperial Guard alive. Then we can find those court officials to work with us. From now on, we Canal Transport Gang will be on board Grand Canal. It will be heaven."
Canal Transport Gang members cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.
Miao Tianqi looked at the Clippers getting closer and closer, with sweat on his forehead and an anxious look on his face.
"What should we do? What should we do? If we continue like this, these warriors will board our navy ship."
"Admiral Miao Don't panic, look at me."
Su Fei, who was standing aside, was observing the situation and suddenly spoke in a calm but calm tone.
He took a step forward, walked to the side of the warship, slowly pushed out his palms, and all the True Essence in his body exploded. It was the martial arts he had practiced to the Perfection Realm.
Dragon Catching Skill.
Invisible energy enveloped the lake like a big hand, and those shells that had just been fired from the naval warship's gun port did not hit the Canal Transport Gang clipper.
Suddenly being pulled by a force to change their trajectory, the originally scattered cannonballs turned around like controlled arrows and flew towards the small speedboat Canal Transport Gang.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The first shell, with a sound of breaking through the air, accurately hit the Canal Transport Gang speedboat at the front.
There was a loud bang, and the clipper ship was instantly exploded, with sawdust and flesh and blood flying everywhere. The Canal Transport Gang warrior on board didn't even have time to scream, before he was blown to pieces.
When the naval officers and soldiers on a large ship at the front of the battle formation saw this scene, they cheered one after another.
Their fate was changed.
They shouted in unison unconsciously.
"Mighty! Mighty!"
Immediately afterwards, the second and third shells hit other clippers one after another.
Canal Transport Gang Clippers are fragile, without any defense, and cannot withstand a shell bombardment. The clippers disintegrated in the sound of explosions, and the lake surface was filled with flames and thick smoke.
In just thirty breaths of time, all the dozens of Canal Transport Gang speedboats that were originally so aggressive were blown up.
All that was left on the lake were black smoking wreckage, floating fragments of planks and struggling sailors.
There wasn't even a complete clipper left.
Miao Tianqi stood on the deck, dumbfounded. It took him a long time to react, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
"Ah!"
"Thousand Households Commander Su What a good trick you have. It's a really good trick. This is simply amazing."
He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle today when these gang members boarded the navy ship, but he did not expect that Su Fei could defeat Canal Transport Gang's trump card by himself.
As for Pang Wanchun on the five-masted warship, the smile on his face froze instantly, and his face turned as pale as paper. He took two steps back and held on to the side of the ship before he could barely stand still.
He stared at the wreckage of the wooden boat on the lake with wide eyes.
He was completely lost.
"Impossible, this is impossible, how can the naval artillery shells turn on their own, this is absolutely impossible!"
The trump card that he was so proud of was so easily cracked by the opponent, leaving him no room for resistance.
At this moment, Pang Wanchun only had endless panic in his heart.
Su Fei took back True Essence and said calmly to Miao Tianqi.
"Admiral Miao, Canal Transport Gang's cards have been destroyed, now it's our turn to attack."
Miao Tianqi only recovered from the surprise at this time, pulled out his long knife and pointed it at the Canal Transport Gang warship.
"Thousand Households Commander Su destroyed the Canal Transport Gang clipper for us."
"Now all navy officers and soldiers listen to the order, attack with the whole army, capture the Canal Transport Gang flagship, and capture Pang Wanchun alive. The time has come to make great achievements."
"Kill!"
Sky-shaking shouts came from the naval warships, and dozens of warships accelerated at the same time, rushing towards the Canal Transport Gang battle formation.
The morale is like a rainbow.
The cannon roared again, and shells rained down on the Canal Transport Gang warship.
On the other hand, looking at Canal Transport Gang, morale is low.
The Canal Transport Gang defense line, which was already loose, was instantly opened.
The naval warships broke through the Canal Transport Gang defense line like tigers descending the mountain. Amidst the roar of artillery, one by one the Canal Transport Gang large ships were destroyed. Some ignited fires, and some were directly hit by cannonballs, broke into two pieces and sank into the lake.
Canal Transport Gang's gang members who had escaped by diving were surrounded by navy boats as soon as they surfaced. They were either subdued on the spot or killed for resisting. As more and more prisoners floated on the lake, Canal Transport Gang's resistance became weaker and weaker.
Three hours later, most of the warships outside Canal Transport Gang were wiped out, leaving only the five-masted flagship where Pang Wanchun was still struggling to hold on.
The navy warships surrounded it in a fan shape, with their guns aimed at the flagship. As long as Miao Tianqi gave the order, the last support of Canal Transport Gang would be instantly reduced to pieces.
Miao Tianqi stood on the deck of the admiral's ship, looking at the Canal Transport Gang flagship surrounded by water. He was in a good mood, turned to Su Fei and smiled.
"Thousand Households Commander Su, this battle was so smooth because you defused Canal Transport Gang's trump card."
"This Pang Wanchun's identity is unusual. He is Canal Transport Gang waterway manager, Grandmaster Realm Fourth Layer cultivation base, and Canal Transport Gang leader Pang Feilong's cousin is considered a high-ranking official of Canal Transport Gang. Why don't we meet him and see if we can persuade him to surrender? If we can capture him alive, we might be able to get information about Canal Transport Gang from him."
Su Fei nodded.
"Okay, let's try to persuade him to surrender first. If he doesn't listen, it won't be too late to take action again."
Miao Tianqi immediately ordered the guards to throw out ropes to secure the naval ship and the Canal Transport Gang flagship together.
Later, he took dozens of personal guards and set foot on the deck of Canal Transport Gang's flagship together with Su Fei.
At this time, only Pang Wanchun and dozens of loyal Canal Transport Gang warriors were left on the flagship deck. The others either died in battle or jumped into the water to escape. There were blood stains everywhere on the deck and it was a mess.
Pang Wanchun was standing in the middle of the deck holding Executioner's saber, his face so gloomy that it could drip water. When he saw Miao Tianqi and Su Fei boarding the ship, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but he did not take action immediately.
Miao Tianqi stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Pang Wanchun, now you are a turtle in the urn. Canal Transport Gang is in danger. If you are willing to surrender and give out the information about Canal Transport Gang, I can spare your life and report to the court to intercede for you and give you a lighter sentence."
Pang Wanchun sneered, his eyes swept over Miao Tianqi, and finally landed on Su Fei, with a bit of unwillingness in his tone.
"Surrender? I, Pang Wanchun, have only known Canal Transport Gang in my life and have never known the word "surrender". However, Admiral Miao, I have something unclear. Could you please explain to me why those dozens of clippers just now were accurately hit by your cannonballs. Those cannonballs were obviously about to fall into the water, so why did they suddenly turn around."
