The elimination of enemy fire points in the north of the city is intended to clear potential threats in the future if it is necessary to land directly on the pier of Port Holo in the event of a last resort.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that although the opponent's weapon was not enough, if it really hit someone, it would be a terrible thing.

The subsequent shelling of the palace was purely for deterrence.

According to Gu Jin's idea, it is better not to go to the point where it is necessary to send people to land and fight, so shelling the palace and hitting that place is the most effective way to achieve deterrence and finally surrender the army without a fight.

By the time the sun was setting, the Nicole had fired more than a hundred shells, and the evening shelling was even more accurate thanks to the observation guidance of the gun mirrors on the Pride lookout.

The whole day's artillery bombardment was fruitful, in addition to the first knocking out the bronze cannon position on the north wall of the city, the palace and the prime minister's mansion were shelled, and under the guidance of Xue Laixiang, the four barracks in and around the city of Holo were also bombed to a mess, the barracks were almost razed to the ground, and the school field was also bombed with potholes.

Of course, with the exception of the inaccurate shelling at the beginning of the morning, after the resumption of shelling at noon, ordinary houses were never shelled again.

This is mainly due to the topography of Huoluo City and the distribution map of houses and streets provided by Xue Laixiang, he is very familiar with Huoluo City, and he and Zhu Beiguo stayed on the lookout for an afternoon that day, and fully understood the pleasure of pointing and fighting.

Xue Laixiang was very envious of such firearms, and Zhu Beiguo told him that as long as you cooperate with us, it will not be difficult for you to obtain Australian firearms in the near future.

Zhu Beiguo's words made his heart throb, and he said that if there is such a sharp firearm, then I will not be rampant on the sea......

Over dinner, the people on both the Nicole and the Pride discussed whether or not to continue shelling the city of Hollowo during the night, but it was quickly agreed that the bombardment should continue.

Resolutely do not let the enemy sleep well! It's better to drive the nobles in the palace crazy!

So after a short period of repair, when night fell on the city of Holo, a scene that the people in the city would never forget in their lives happened-on the dark sea, three pillars of light suddenly appeared so strong that they had never seen it in their lives!

The pillar of light is brighter and more dazzling than the moon in the silent night!

Accompanied by a huge pillar of light, there was also the occasional whistle on the Nicole and Pride......

Many years later, there was still a story among the indigenous tribes on the island of Holo that the ghost ship summoned the three-eyed dragon to punish the prime minister of Sulu, Lord Suhabidatu.

The shamans of the tribe also compiled this story into a word-of-mouth song to sing to the next generation:

“…… When the dragon opens its eyes, the moon is hidden behind the dragon, and wherever the dragon sees, it will burst into flames, and the dragon roars and the earth trembles......"

At the time, however, for those who experienced the scene firsthand, the scenes depicted in the tribal songs were nothing short of what was true.

That night, in the city of Holo, everyone from the king and prime minister to the ordinary soldiers, from the commoners in the market to the servants and slaves, were stunned by these three huge pillars of light!

Because people have never seen such a strong and agile pillar of light at night.

That night, all the witnesses, whether it was the jungle tribe on the island of Hollo or the people of Hollo City, saw this wonder that they had never seen in their lives.

At that moment, everyone in the city of Holo firmly believed that these pillars of light came from the devil's ship, and that they were the eyes of the devil to look into the world, and that wherever the devil's eyes gazed, they would bring blood and fire to it, and no one thought that it was not a real miracle!

Of course, the people in Hollo didn't know that it was the high probability that the searchlights on the Nicole and the Pride were illuminating the shelling point for the ship's guns.

To the people of Holo City, this miracle was so terrifying.

Wherever those pillars of light shined, the shells would come as promised, and the sound of explosions would continue to ring in my ears, accompanied by the collapse of houses and the flying of flesh and blood......

At this time, the people had no choice but to pray that the pale pillar of light would move to another place.

In the first half of the night, the royal palace, the prime minister's palace, and the east and west barracks were attacked by more than 50 shells.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, it was the usual time for the change of shifts between the Nicole and the Pride, and Gu Jin ordered the two ships to turn off their lights and rest, and the shelling finally stopped.

At this time, the group of people on the Nicole who had had enough of tossing began to leave the gun position in twos and threes, eating supper when it was time to eat supper, taking a bath when it was time to take a bath, except for the people on duty on the night shift who were on duty at their respective posts, those who should sleep also went to sleep.

In order not to disturb everyone's sleep, Gu Jin decided not to shoot in the second half of the night, but he accepted Xu Zhi's suggestion: let the people on the night shift on the Nicole and Pride continue to illuminate the sea surface of Holo City and the nearby sea with searchlights from time to time.

As a result, a total of three high-powered searchlights on the Nicole and Pride were turned on again, the Nicole's searchlight was higher and was tasked with illuminating the city of Holo, while the Pride had a lower searchlight to illuminate the docks, city walls, and the sea.

Obviously, the people on duty thought this was very fun and relieving, especially the staff on the Nicole, who first used two searchlights to shoot directly in the direction of the palace, and then slowly swept through the Prime Minister's Mansion and the civilian area, in order to scare people, they also deliberately opened and closed, sometimes suddenly closed, and suddenly opened, sometimes separately, sometimes let the light pillars focus on each part, such as the gate of the palace.

At this time, the searchlight on the Pride was also like this, first Zhu Beiguo personally operated it, he enthusiastically swept the city wall with the searchlight, swept the dock, and from time to time to the direction of the city gate tower to check.

When the people on the two ships were playing and shining their searchlights on the city of Holo, you can imagine how frightened the people of the city were, and even though there were no cannonballs coming as promised, didn't you panic in the middle of the night when the miraculous beams of light shot into the windows of your house?

In this way, every time a pillar of light swept over a palace, the people inside would tremble, and whenever the pillar of light swept over a courtyard, there would always be some crying or commotion......

The situation has developed to this point, and the people of Hollo City can't bear it anymore, first of all, a few soldiers who are defending the city secretly open the south gate and escape from this ominous city under the leadership of a general.

Then, the panic soon spread to the east and west gates, and the soldiers there also began to slip away, and the soldiers there had long since scattered and hid in their homes because the barracks had been saturated with shells during the day and the first half of the night.

The last to get the news were ordinary citizens, who saw that the soldiers were fleeing, how could they be stupid to stay in the city?

As a result, people began to appear on the streets completely ignoring the curfew of the Prime Minister, and many people dragged their families to help the old and the young to the open city gate.

At this point, the soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion who were still patrolling the streets could not suppress their bullets, and in fact, most of them did not want to seriously suppress them, because they themselves were in a state of panic.

At this moment, I don't know who was agitating, suddenly thousands of citizens surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, and people shouted angrily, accusing them one after another, this is all the disaster that the Prime Minister has brought to the people of Holo City, and your Prime Minister must come forward to give everyone an explanation!

In the end, the situation was so serious that some people tried to storm the Prime Minister's Office.
