The Sancha River Mouth in the twilight was dyed with blood, and the big boat on the river looked like a creeping giant beast.
The Tulip is a typical Western-style ship, with a statue of the Virgin Mary on the towering poop, and dried South Sea spices hung between the sprits and rigging. Although the sailors carefully maintained it, the mottled marks left by years of sailing are still clearly visible.
Speaking of which, this ship is very conspicuous on the pier.
After all, most of the San Cha River docks are filled with tankers, salt ships, and merchant ships from the north and south. Even if there are foreign ships, they will not be too big.
But this Tulip is a little different.
At first, we followed the Nanyang Countries tribute group and passed through Dagukou and entered the Jinmen pier from Haihe River.
As soon as it arrived, it attracted a lot of people to watch. After all, the style of the ship was different from that of Divine Land. There were even big and small Buddhas in Jinmen. I heard that the spoons in Red Haired Foreigners were made of gold and silver. They sneaked into the ship at night to get some oil and water.
But those who went there, without exception, had their hands and feet broken and thrown into the San Cha River.
If a foreigner dares to be so arrogant, all the foxes and rats in Jinmen will take action to make things worse.
But no one expected that Marines would suddenly appear and give a stern warning.
Not long after, Jinghai Gang also announced in a high-profile manner that whoever wanted to take this ship was looking for trouble for them.
Since then, the ship has stabilized, no one disturbs it anymore, and the people have gradually gotten used to it.
It has even become a scene at the pier, with scholars and merchants admiring it from a distance.
But now, this seemingly docile giant has finally revealed its fangs.
The windows that were originally closed were opened one by one, and they were all disguised gun ports.
Twenty-four dark gun barrels slowly poked out from the portholes.
"Spread out!"
Li Yan noticed something was wrong from a distance and immediately asked his companions to disperse and move forward.
However, there are far more than them on the Sancha River Mouth dock.
The sun was half-set at this time, and there was only a blush spreading on the water. It was time to eat.
On the dock, the aroma of fried fruits wafted from the shed.
The porters carrying big bags squatted on the stone steps, chatting while gnawing on steamed buns with fermented bean curd.
Suddenly, someone pointed at the river, widened his eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Jie... what do you want to do?"
"Bolas de cadena (chain bullets)!"
In the cabin of the Tulip, the fat gunner with a red beard roared.
The shirtless black slave sailors immediately began to fill up.
The cannonballs they used were two solid iron balls connected by an iron chain.
This thing was originally used to destroy the masts or sails of enemy ships.
But now facing the dock, it is obvious that we are pursuing lethality.
Seeing that a black slave was acting awkwardly, the red-bearded gunner directly kicked him, and then took a sip of rum. The liquid flowed along the thick beard, and his eyes were bloodshot and turned red, full of ferocious madness.
"Fuego (fire)!"
As he barked orders, the sound of cannons continued to sound.
Smoke billowed out, and the bullets wrapped in iron chains roared out of the barrel.
The several Cao Gang canoe boats ahead were the first to be unlucky.
The flying tiger's "cao" flag fell instantly, the mast was broken and the sail was broken, and sawdust was scattered all over the sky.
"Boom--!"
Chain bullets swept through the teahouse on the pier, the thick wooden table, and the four or five porters who were eating, and were stopped at the waist.
"Mom! Red Haired Foreigners is having sex!"
The canal worker Sun Erzi hurriedly lay down on the ground, but his bun was cut off by the blown water transport notice board.
The wooden door of the dock warehouse exploded, the wooden boxes of suede silk piled into a hill burst open, and the severed fingers wrapped in lake blue satin flew around in the sky.
Several laborers who were gambling dice behind the cargo pile were suddenly buried by the collapsed roof.
Aunt Cui, who was selling fried river shrimps on the shore, was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground when the hot oil pan exploded, and the yellow mud stove below instantly ignited a large flame. Several waterworkers who were not hasty to dodge instantly became flaming people and jumped into the river screaming.
The fire spread rapidly, igniting surrounding sheds and wooden houses.
Jinmen San Cha River The wharf has developed too fast in recent years. Countless people have come here and various sheds have been built haphazardly.
The dock yamen could not control it, but now it became a disaster, causing the fire to spread rapidly.
"Beep--!"
On the pier, of course, there were Marines soldiers on duty. As the warning horn sounded, they ran out with guns in hand.
However, the Tulip has now completely revealed its ferocious appearance.
Under the gilt tulip pattern on the bow of the ship, six more Frankish fast cannons were launched from the secret door.
The sound of cannon fire was continuous.
On the dock, earth and rocks suddenly flew everywhere, and many soldiers and civilians were directly beaten into powder.
The pier Marines is built with a balcony overlooking the river.
A fat man with a beard was slumped in the watchtower, puffing away smoke.
His armor was casually open, and one of the two women was feeding him wine, while the other was stuffing grapes.
Even the pipe used to smoke Fushou Paste is inlaid with jade.
It is Jinmen Marines Water Transport General Zhou Kang.
He was very satisfied with his official position and lived a happy life like a god.
Whenever I have free time, I like to smoke Fushou Paste on the watchtower while watching the scenery.
Looking at the San Cha River dock in a state of ecstasy, I always have a wonderful feeling of being a local emperor.
Boom!
The sound of artillery knocked the jade-encrusted pipe out of his hand.
The water transportation commander Zhou Kang was stunned for a while. It took him a long time to react and crawled to the watchtower to watch.
When he saw the scene at the dock, his face suddenly turned pale and he trembled. "It's over..."
According to the rules, the firearms of the Chamber of Commerce fleet must be reported. When entering the important dock of Divine Land, they must be blocked directly with wooden plugs, the gunpowder must be handed over, and it will be distributed when leaving.
What's more, these Foreign Lands alien ships have even stricter rules.
When entering Dagukou, all firearms must be dismantled, and there will be patrols by the Marine Corps on the Haihe River.
When he arrived at the Sancha River Mouth pier, he also inspected it several times as usual.
However, later on, when the Red Haired Foreigners businessman kept making offerings, he gradually became slacker and ordered people not to come near and cause nuisance.
Why did artillery suddenly appear above?
It must have been smuggled onto the ship under the cover of his order.
"Sir, Red Haired Foreigners is crazy!"
His adjutant burst into the door directly, his face full of panic.
"Sir, what should we do? Give the order quickly!"
This adjutant was also full of evil ideas and knew that Marines had made a big mistake and the consequences would be disastrous.
But if Gong Huo lets Zhou Kang give the order, a lot of blame can be placed on Shangguan.
However, at this moment, Zhou Kang has no master.
In addition, after having smoked Fushou Paste, my expression was even more dazed. As soon as my buttocks relaxed, my feces and urine immediately flowed out.
Boom!
There was another loud noise, and the nearby official warehouse for storing salt was also blown to pieces.
Salt grains were flying all over the sky, like snow falling.
Canal Transport Yamen's "Tianyu Zhenggong" plaque swirled into the river...
"Mother!"
Li Yan cursed fiercely and quickened his pace.
He didn't know why there were so many artillery pieces on this gang's ship.
Jinmen Marines is simply rotten to the core.
Of course, there is no time to think too much at this moment.
Gunfire roared in my ears, mud and gravel were flying everywhere, and broken limbs were flying around.
The opponent's twenty-four artillery pieces fired indiscriminately, continuously, and six Franji Cannon guns were interspersed, like hedgehogs on fire. Both the cannons on the river and the Sancha River Mouth dock were now in a mess, like a battlefield.
Li Yan No matter how high your kung fu is, you are still a mortal body and can be finished with just one shot.
In the previous battle in Chengdu, he had extinguished a soul fire and only had two lives left.
The repaired Heavenly Spiritual Treasure has not been found yet. If it fails here, it will be in big trouble.
Click!
Li Yan dodged the chain bullet and tore apart the wooden pillars of the tea shed, and looked forward.
At this moment, he was still a hundred meters away from the river, and the Tulip was docked a hundred meters away from the river.
If you use Divine Travel Technique, you can board the ship in a few breaths.
But even this short distance is like a natural chasm.
Six Franji Cannons were covering it, and a large number of muskets were firing indiscriminately.
Even if you use the escape technique, it's difficult to get close.
At this moment, Li Yan turned around and caught a glimpse of Wu Ba.
This man is squatting behind the dragon stone pier, quickly loading Tiger Crouching Cannon.
When he left Jin Prefecture Guild Hall, he carried this object on his shoulders.
"Wu Ba, cover me!"
Li Yan roared, and at the same time made a secret gesture, Chuling Paper Figure flew out from the waist.
And Wu Ba didn't talk nonsense. The knotted muscles were lifted up in the smoke of gunpowder Tiger Crouching Cannon.
This thing has been transformed into a hand cannon.
But only Wu Ba's amazing strength and physique can be used.
After lighting the fuse, Wu Ba suddenly turned around, left the stone pier, and aimed at the Tulip.
"Boom!"
A huge roar sounded, even covering up the sound of the Tulip cannon.
Although these Red Haired Foreigners have powerful firepower, they are ordinary gunpowder.
And Wu Ba's Tiger Crouching Cannon is obviously more powerful.
The sound of the cannon sounded, and air waves flew everywhere. Wu Ba was pushed out more than ten meters by the terrible recoil. His feet made deep marks, and he almost fell into the fire. He had no time to clean up, so he rolled quickly to avoid the flying shells.
Although it was embarrassing, the Tulip was even worse.
The center of the hull is sunken inward, with a hole the size of a round table appearing.
The inside was bloody and bloody, and you could even see the other side of the ship.
But it was the Wu Ba shot that directly penetrated the opponent's warship.
Inside the cabin, there was sudden chaos.
The crew members inside also revealed their true identities.
Although they were neatly dressed, their bodies with thick hair and gnarled muscles were covered with various scars and knife marks.
Black skull and crossbones flags were scattered from the broken boxes.
It turned out to be a group of experienced pirates.
The tragic situation in front of them not only did not scare them, but instead aroused their ferocity.
Some shouted and fired indiscriminately.
Some cooperated with the black slaves to quickly reload ammunition.
But in this short gap, Li Yan jumped out.
He used Profound Water Escape, not caring about pursuing concealment, but used it with all his strength, turning it into a black mist, and arrived at the river in the blink of an eye.
Bang bang bang!
Intense gunfire sounded, but the black mist transformed by Li Yan was submerged in the water.
Profound Water Escape is even more powerful in water, not to mention Li Yan and Dragon Snake Plate.
The turbid river water seemed like nothing to him.
Even faster than on land.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the bottom of the Tulip.
Li Yan's plan is simple.
The other party was acting so randomly, and it was obvious that he had no intention of leaving.
After all, if you want to go to sea, you have to pass through Haihe River and Dagukou.
There are not only several naval camps along the way, but also fort checkpoints built on the shore.
If you can't even reach the beach, you will be sunk.
Although it is unclear why these people suddenly went crazy, the artillery was so dense that they must have accumulated a large amount of gunpowder.
You can easily win by breaking through the bottom of the ship and lighting the gunpowder warehouse directly.
However, just when Li Yan picked up Severing Dust Blade, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He turned around suddenly and saw that a round hole had been opened at some point on the side of the hull behind him.
Figures jumped out one after another and fell into the water with a splash.
These figures were moving very fast in the water, and they were carrying various sharp knives and forks in their hands.
When I got closer, I saw a group of strange-looking monsters.
They have humanoid outlines and all four limbs, but their bodies are covered in scales, their mouths are full of fangs, their eyes are bloodshot, and they look like they are bloodthirsty and crazy.
Evil Serpent Immortality Art!
Li Yan took a look and guessed the origins of these things.
The true form of Demon God Gui Long is the hornless Snake Dragon, which is ferocious in nature and has no human form.
This demon originally hid in the ancient Yellow River, but escaped when Attendant, Da Yu, a nearby tribe of fishermen, was trying to control the water. Later, it drank a large amount of Evil Omen Qi, became more ferocious, and turned the ancient ancestors into monsters to serve itself.
Therefore, there is Huashe evil method in <Evil Serpent Immortality Art>.
Although it is not as good as the method practiced by Lu Jinghai, it is better than being able to produce it in batches.
Li Yan can already imagine that it is really difficult to prevent these Huashe gadgets from being controlled by others and raiding enemy ships at night.
Of course, it's not enough for him.
Li Yan ignored it, lifted Severing Dust Blade, and suddenly inserted it into the bottom of the boat.
Behind him, two Soul Severing Throwing Knifes were flying up and down, killing all the "snake men" who were approaching.
Phew~
The sawdust scattered in the water, and Severing Dust Blade directly drew a semicircle.
As long as the Li Yan palm is pressed hard, it can penetrate the thick bottom of the ship.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
There were waves of fluctuations in the Tulip cabin.
The school of fish near Sancha River Mouth suddenly became crazy. In the blink of an eye, they gathered into a swarm, surged up from below and charged towards Li Yan. Several highly venomous water snakes were also mixed among them, as well as a black, hairy, baby-sized monster.
Water Monkey?
This evil spirit is not uncommon and comes from many sources.
Sometimes it is the body of a child who fell into the water and sometimes it is the ghost of an innocent person.
Li Yan is not afraid of these gadgets.
What surprised him was that the other party actually had the ability to control animals on a large scale.
Apart from Lu San, this was the first time he saw them.
"Hmm."
At the same time, Lu San on the shore also frowned slightly, and then whistled into the air.
In the dark night, Falcon Li Dong grabbed Demon Gourd and flew down from the air.
Buzz!
The densely packed Poisonous Bee Swarm suddenly roared out.
"Ah~"
The Red Haired Foreigners sailors who were firing on the deck were suddenly stung and screamed repeatedly.
Long Yan'er in the distance also waved its sleeves and released countless Gu worms the size of sesame seeds.
This thing is called Sesame Gu. Not only can it fly, it is also extremely poisonous.
The Venomous Bee cooperated with Sesame Gu, and there was chaos on the deck. The sailors rolled on the ground and lost their breath.
Sha LiFei and Wu Ba took the opportunity to rush towards the river bank.
They don't have Li Yan's escape method, but they also cooperate with each other to create opportunities.
As for the water, Li Yan was too lazy to pay attention to the fish and raised his left hand upward.
Boom!
Planks of wood splashed everywhere, and he rushed into the cabin with the river water.
This Red Haired Foreigners warship has a ballast layer underneath, filled with all kinds of sundries.
Li Yan Without saying a word, he swung his sword to destroy the ship again.
Finally, we arrived at the central cabin.
There was chaos inside, and the pirate crews were manipulating the cannons like crazy.
Li Yan With just one glance, he gave up his previous plan.
The amount of black powder they obtained was obviously limited, and after repeated bombardments by numerous artillery pieces, not much was left.
Facing the Li Yan that suddenly broke into the ship, these pirate sailors were also surprised and took out the Flintlock Firearm from their waists.
The bang, bang, bang of gunshots suddenly became a continuous sound.
Sawdust flew everywhere in the cabin, and Li Yan stepped on the chain and directly crashed into another cabin.
Inside, there were densely lit candles.
Red Haired Foreigners, the businessman Mendes he had seen before, was kneeling on the ground wearing a green wide-brimmed hat and a gray cloak.
Around him, in addition to the strange triangle circle surrounded by white paint, there were also a large number of candles, incense and burning ancient books.
Seeing Li Yan breaking in, Mendes suddenly panicked, raised his hands and kept shouting:
"Barbatos! Barbatos!"
