Chapter Seventy-Five: The Night Attack of the Protoss (Grand Chapter)
Southeast Asia is a strange place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info on the one hand, it does have a fairly long (albeit confusing) history; On the other hand, it was completely colonized by the European powers earlier.
Therefore, whether it is a city or an economy, culture will present a variety of different styles.
For example, the capital city of Banda Aceh, like modern cities, is not walled. However, the city of Malacca retains very thick walls - many of which were built by Ming soldiers when Zheng He went to the West.
Steel and heavy artillery were lined up at the head of the city, and archers and musketeers were prepared on the battlements of the city walls of different heights, so that the attackers could retreat......
At least during the day, it would be difficult for such a city to be captured by sixty or seventy people - not even the Huaxia Protoss!
Therefore, when this group of Protoss warriors pursued Williams and other remnants of the British army here, they could only stop helplessly.
The leading Huaxia Protoss warrior was called Zhong Lu, who was originally a director of the technical department of the Ministry of Defense of the Huaxia Protoss. By chance, Zhao Wushuang discovered that his divine soul and physique were enough to enter the "Transformation Pool" to undergo the test of immersion and evolution, and he was born as a Protoss......
Most of the Protoss, after being successfully born from the "Transformation God Pool", that is, their physical fitness and willpower are about ten times stronger than ordinary people. But there are a very small number of Protoss who will naturally gain a special ability. In private, everyone calls this ability "natural supernatural powers"!
In fact, by mixing Zhao Wushuang's essence blood, the power of the Two-Headed Evil Jiao, and the juice of the Dragon Soul Grass, he was able to change the physical bodies of mortals and allow them to evolve! This kind of "natural supernatural power" that appears with evolution is called in many science fiction novels or movies that Zao Wushuang has seen in his later life--Ability!
It's just that, of course, this kind of ability is relatively weak, and there is only one kind of ability, which is far inferior to the various supernatural powers possessed by cultivators who have entered the hall. But in this era of the end of the law dominated by ordinary people, such an existence is already strong enough!
And the "divine power" that this Jongro has is the "water control technique".
Not only can he create a "big bubble" with a diameter of up to three meters in the water to imprison or protect people, but he can also condense the water vapor in the air and attack. The climate in Southeast Asia is very humid, so even on land, Jongro can easily condense "water arrows".
For example, just now, they saw the huge city gate two thousand meters away in front of them slowly closing, and their running speed was really unable to catch up. Anxious, Zhong Lu roared, using his "natural supernatural power" to the extreme to condense the water vapor in the surrounding air, and shook the void in his right hand. A transparent water arrow more than a foot long appeared!
"Shoot me!!"
Zhong Lu used all his strength to shoot the water arrow in his hand forward, and seeing that there was still the last gap left in the gate, Zhong Lu condensed and shot the water arrow into the gate. As if it had shot a British officer, a scream could be faintly heard, and then the door slammed shut.
The other Protoss warriors next to him opened their mouths and asked, "Boss, are we still chasing?" Why don't you force your way into the city? "This is a very young Protoss, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with his hands on his chest and a little hanging.
Zhong Lu glared at him fiercely: "Duan Yu, you give me honesty!" Don't think that becoming a Protoss is self-aggrandizing. The city of Malacca was heavily guarded and heavily guarded. Can we sixty or seventy people storm in broad daylight? I really don't know whether to live or die. ”
Duan Yu muttered with some dissatisfaction: "But we are the Protoss......" but he didn't dare to talk back after all. And he just talked about it, and deep down he knew that he definitely couldn't break in so rashly. Otherwise, if you are hit head-on by several heavy artillery pieces or besieged by dozens of muskets, the Protoss may also suffer a big loss......
"Let's withdraw and join the main army. Wait for the command above and then do the calculation. Although we have gained control of the sea, it will probably take a lot of effort to take Malacca City completely......" Zhong Lu said, looking at the high walls and swarthy cannons.
More than half an hour later, fifteen miles away from the tall outer walls of Malacca City, a large force of the Divine Kingdom Expeditionary Force arrived here!
Because of the particularity of the Huaxia Protoss, the sixty or seventy people led by Zhong Lu were an independent army formation. Although there are few people, everyone's rank is not low. As the leader, Zhong Lu is a major general, reporting and responsible directly to Zheng Lang. In addition, no one in this expedition to the Strait of Malacca could command his Protoss legion.
So when the army arrived, Zhong Lu settled the rest of the Protoss brothers and immediately went to Zheng Lang to discuss the follow-up plan. The city of Malacca must be taken! It is the core of the core that controls the Strait of Malacca, and only by mastering the city of Malacca can it truly hold the throat of the Strait.
On this point, Zao Wou-shuang stressed countless times to the middle and senior officers of this part of the expedition in the Strait of Malacca -- first to gain temporary control of the sea area, and then to occupy the city of Malacca. Then, with this as the center, it spread to both sides, so as to occupy different cities along the coast of Malaysia, and finally control the whole of Malaysia in one fell swoop.
Now, with the help of mysterious forces, the Divine Kingdom Expeditionary Force led by Zheng Lang almost wiped out the British Malacca fleet with an incredible zero casualties! The next step is to attack the city of Malacca......
"General Zhong, our army has gone through a day of fighting, and it is a little tired after all. It will take some time for the soldiers to get used to it, so I want to launch a large-scale siege in three days. Until then, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you fellow Protoss to attack tentatively at the right time. Zheng Lang said it more politely, although Zhong Lu is nominally his subordinate, but he is a member of the Huaxia God Clan, and he belongs to the group of people who are at the forefront of evolution in the Huaxia Clan. In any case, it is necessary to maintain basic respect.
Since his bosses are so face-saving, Zhong Lu naturally will not refuse, patting his chest and promising that he will select the most elite twenty Protoss warriors to conduct a tentative attack on the city tonight, to see if the sneak attack can be successful, and enter the city without knowing it.
Zheng Lang readily agreed, and also expressed great gratitude. Zhong Lu was satisfied and went back to the place where the Protoss rested to select the elite......
At the same time, almost at the same time. A distraught Williams had already led his senior officers to the mansion of Lester, the lord of Malacca, who was also the president of the Malaysian branch of the East India Company.
The Navy soldiers who had survived the strange naval battle had been sent to the army barracks to seek refuge first, while Williams took a few henchmen and high-ranking officers directly to the City Lord's Mansion to meet Leicester.
The British Royal Navy fleet stationed at the military port outside Malacca and the army under the command of the local East India Company were already a little at odds, and the bosses of the two sides were not very happy with each other, and the people below naturally knew about it. I met on weekdays on the surface to be polite, but in fact, I don't know if I have greeted each other's ancestors for eighteen generations......
But in the face of the enemies of Britain, both on the part of the British government and on the side of the East India Company, they were very united.
Leicester had already received the news that in the great battle on the sea outside the Malacca military port, the British Navy had lost badly, and it could be said that the whole army was annihilated. Only a few escaped......
He had already expected that the first thing Williams would do after returning to the city was to come to the city lord's mansion to ask him for help!
Lester is a middle-aged man in his fifties with a big belly. There is also some baldness. The hooked nose and his sharp eyes always give people a very big sense of oppression.
Now, he was in the spacious hall of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for his former rival to come and beg him......
The door opened, and a somewhat embarrassed Williams strode in.
Before Lester could speak, Williams spoke first: "Lester, this time, I have lost face. Whether it's in front of you, or about the glory of the British Empire. We've been fighting openly and secretly for so long, but it doesn't really make sense. I'm going to fail so badly, and if I have a chance or return to England, I'm sure I'll end up court-martialed. I hope that if I have already lost, I will be able to work with me to defend Malacca City, regardless of my previous suspicions! Otherwise, maybe the whole of Malaysia and the Strait of Malacca will fall into the hands of the Chinese! Because, the enemy we have to face this time is probably not only the Huaxia Divine Kingdom on the surface......"
Williams's words made Lester's original desire to humiliate him dispelled, and his heart became solemn.
His eagle-sharp eyes stared at Williams' face, and he said word by word, "What the hell is going on?" Tell me about the battle at sea. Let's put aside our old suspicions and work together this time. The Chinese outside the city must not be allowed to succeed! ”
The two British, who were fighting openly and secretly on weekdays, actually abandoned their previous suspicions under the pressure brought by the expeditionary fleet of the Chinese Divine Kingdom. The two hands were still clasped together...... A long talk!
And on the other hand, that night, twelve o'clock.
The entire sprawling city of Malacca has fallen into darkness and silence, and the vast majority of the people in the city have fallen asleep. If you look down from the dark sky, Malacca is like a giant beast sleeping in the darkness, lurking quietly......
Only on the high and continuous city walls, the top layer of the city wall is still burning with torches at every other battlement. In the lower floors, kerosene lamps are hung on each floor, and British soldiers and Malay natives alternately watch night shifts.
They had already heard of the tragic battle that took place in the sea outside the military port during the day - the Malacca fleet of the Royal Navy, the most powerful of the Great Sun Never Setting Empire, was actually wiped out in the battle against the Chinese Divine Kingdom!!
It sounded almost a fantasy to the ears of the soldiers. But by all indications, this is absolutely true, for during the day almost half of the soldiers on the walls saw hundreds of men in Royal Navy uniforms stumbling into the city. There are some people who look very powerful in the back......
The president of the East India Company, who was in charge of the city of Malacca and controlled the British Army here, had given the order to impose martial law on the whole city and face the war. Therefore, in the past, the outer walls of the city were not very strictly guarded, but tonight it is like a great enemy!
These Brits are indeed not wrong in guessing, because the people of the Huaxia Protoss will indeed come with a sneak attack tonight!
At this moment, it is the dead of night. But among the weeds outside the walls of Malacca, there were ten people dressed in black, as if completely integrated into the night, sneakily passing in the direction of the city walls......
Their steps were as light as those of tigers and leopards, and they walked in the grass without even making a sound. Only the grass taller than a man parted silently and then advanced.
Near the city walls, about two or three kilometers in a straight line, it was cleaned very clean. It's a flat ground with an unobstructed view, and if you go towards the castle wall normally, I'm afraid you'll be spotted in the end.
But it's the Chinese Protoss who came with the Divine Kingdom fleet on an expedition to Malacca this time! And it's the elite of the Protoss warriors. How can you be stumped by such a small thing?
So when they were about to come out of the barren grass, a Protoss warrior named Liu Tong began to perform his "natural supernatural powers" on the people who participated in tonight's operation one by one!
I saw him walk up to a Protoss warrior, but instead of looking at the other party, his eyes were staring at the green grass next to him. In a few moments, his own eyes turned grass green, and he reached out and pressed his hand on the forehead of the Protoss warrior.
In less than a breath or two, the Protoss warrior changed. From the place where his forehead touched Liu Tong's hand, it quickly turned green! It spreads from the head to the neck and chest to the rest of the body. In the blink of an eye, this Protoss warrior seemed to be integrated with the surrounding wild grass, and it was very difficult to distinguish it from the naked eye at a very close distance!
That's right, this Liu Tong's "talent supernatural power" is actually similar to the chameleon's ability. Not only can he turn people grass green, but he also changes the color of his whole body according to his environment......
So whatever the situation, just do it. It is indeed not difficult for the ten elites of the Protoss here to approach the city wall.
After Ren Liu Tong made a move, the ten Protoss soldiers walked out of the verdant and lush grass. The next moment, I came to a clearing with reddish-brown dirt exposed. As a result, their bodies quickly turned reddish-brown!
All the Protoss warriors were cautious, but very decisive and fast, approaching the city of Malacca in the deep night...... (To be continued.) )
