During the hundreds of years that the Portuguese had been in charge of Goa, they paid special attention to the construction of various religious buildings. They spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build large churches over the course of decades.

Among the many churches in Goa, the Basilica of Jesus of Mercy has the highest status. Because this magnificent red brick building houses the remains of a saint - the first Catholic missionary to the East, one of the founders of the Society of Jesus, Francis. Xavier.

It was this guy who transmitted the Abrahamic god system to India and Japan, and the European colonizers were able to conquer India one after another, all of which he created. He even thought that China would also harm him, but the Ming court did not allow it and let him die on the island.

Because of the burial of the saint's body, the Church of Jesus of Mercy has always been valued by the Church of Rome, and is also the current Archbishop of Goa, Francis Brown. Xavier's place of refuge was an important brainwashing place for the Portuguese to run Goa. But such a critical place is facing destruction in an instant.

Zhou Qingfeng adhered to the principle of 'you fight yours, I hit mine', and boldly launched a night attack on Goa, successfully turning this pillar of the Portuguese Far East into a boiling soup pot with fire points everywhere.

Due to the poor quality of the ancient army, there were only a handful of generals and soldiers who could conduct field battles and dared to take the initiative to take a detour. It is obviously impossible for Goa, which has been peaceful for a hundred years, to have such an army. Therefore, the night attack led by He Zhuo, assisted by the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix, and carried out by the elite of the Guards was too unexpected by the Portuguese.

Opposite the Cathedral of Jesus the Merciful is the Church of Santa Catarina, which took the Portuguese 80 years to build and was blown up shortly after the night raid began—each soldier of the Guards carried ten kilograms of explosives, and the phoenix smashed open the dome of the main hall and threw dozens of lit explosives into it.

When the explosives pack releases its own high-temperature and high-heat energy, it is like a very large fireworks blooming in the night sky, which is spectacular, making countless people cry out and sigh.

The Portuguese in Goa were actually prepared for enemy attacks, and they arrested the so-called 'Oriental spies' during the day, executed hundreds of natives of unknown origin, and mobilized tens of thousands of Portuguese residents in the city to build barricades to help defend them. The priests of the Inquisition were constantly on patrol, ready for anything, and swore to fight any enemy that came their way.

But when the incoming enemy did come to the door, the colonists in the city found that their so-called adequate preparation was far from sufficient—the enemy was no match for magic, no more than numbers, no more than faith, and no attention to any known rules. They simply blew up with explosives, blasting a path of flesh and rubble piled up.

As she flew into the air towards Goa City, the Portuguese soldiers and residents of the outskirts of the city shouted for their lives to defend the glory of the Lord as she flew into the air. The priests who were in the formation praised God and bravely faced it, trying to prove the steadfastness of their faith in the face of the devil.

These brave men got what they wanted......

In the trembling accounts of the survivors, the devil flies out of the night and begins the slaughter in complete disregard of the majesty of God. The priests who flew out to remove the demons did not even face the devil's side, but spontaneously combusted in mid-air, and the charcoal that was burned into a ball fell down.

The Portuguese, who were hiding behind the barricades, also encountered a little demon with a childlike voice. She rushed into the pile with great speed, dropped a five-kilogram bag of explosives, turned and ran—and when she found that the bag had not ignited, she dared to run back and light a fire before slipping away. All sorts of knives, axes, and muskets failed to stop her movements. She even laughed as she ran.

When the explosives pack exploded violently, and the barricades and the garrison were all blown to ashes, the little devil was still not far away with two fingers plugging his ears and staring, clapping his hands.

In addition to the two powerful female devils who can fly, there are hundreds of devil soldiers lined up, shouting orders to kill from the darkness. They used accurate and lethal volley fire to kill the Portuguese soldiers who tried to block the defensive line, and their courage and faith were empty in front of them.

The Basilica of Santa Catarina was the first stronghold of resistance these demons encountered, with hundreds of Portuguese soldiers and armed residents manning the church. Archbishop Xavier personally encouraged the brave Catholics, watching them take up all kinds of weapons and guns with the blessing of divine magic, smash the windows of churches to form firing points, and fire on the invading devils.

Every church was a fortress of battle, and after a few setbacks, the Portuguese realized that weak barricades alone were not enough to stop the devil's onslaught, and that only a strong church could stop the enemy's advance.

A large number of armed men quickly poured into the church, and the priests in the church continued to organize them and mobilize the holy forces in the church for defense.

As a result, ......, the fire phoenix forcibly broke through the dome of the church of Santa Catarina, and threw dozens of explosives into it in one go.

It is said that gunpowder was invented by the Chinese, but it was carried forward by Westerners. However, before chemists figured out how potassium nitrate was prepared, it would be difficult for Westerners to obtain large quantities of black powder - but for the 'revolutionary army', industrialized nitrate fields were a series of inorganic chemical reaction equations recorded on paper.

For example, the way in which the explosives pack is consumed is a luxury for the Portuguese in Goa today – the church building is indeed sturdy and has survived hundreds of years of wind and rain. But I'll blow it up with explosives, so it's okay.

Two or three hundred kilograms of black powder fell from the skylight of the dome, which plunged the Portuguese into a kind of dead silence in the church, who were praying, encouraging, and resisting. No one expected that the enemy would not rush from the front and be shot, but would instead throw explosive packets from the top of their heads.

Rumble......

A flash of lightning flashed in the night, and a catastrophe took place in the church of Santa Catarina. All the beautiful stained-glass windows burst in an instant, and a large amount of flames and smoke poured out, like a hell of fire.

The characteristic of the dome building is that the top structure is light and fragile, and the entire church dome was directly lifted by the air wave in the violent explosion, and the billowing smoke erupted at once. At first glance, the scene looks like a lava eruption volcano, unstoppable. With just one effort, the cathedral, which took the Portuguese nearly a century to build, was destroyed.

The church has a beautiful square bell tower, two gilded bells with beautiful sounds, ornate God-like decorations, beautiful sculptures of figures, and a great and imposing grandeur that thrills the faithful, all of which have disappeared in such unreasonable and violent demolitions. Along with the hundreds of strong Portuguese in the church, they also disappeared.

The Portuguese of Goa witnessed this scene, and the power to destroy the withering and decaying and break the barriers was too great. Enough for them to remember for a hundred years.

Archbishop Xavier has always felt that the most powerful thing in the world is undoubtedly the faith of believers in the Lord. Now it seems that this faith is far less pleasant than throwing away ten kilograms of explosives.

Behind the Church of Santa Catarina is the Church of Jesus of the Mercy. Everyone, including Archbishop Xavier, watched as the church of Santa Catarina, about 200 meters away, was destroyed. The first thought of such a violent attack was to retreat, but there was nowhere for them to retreat—the church of Jesus of Mercy was a place for the bones of the saints.

"I will go and awaken the Holy Spirit of Xavier, and you must hold the line of defense, and sacrifice for the Lord at all times. Jehovah will take our souls into custody. Archbishop Xavier gave the order with a grim face, turned and entered the church, walking towards a silver coffin.

Outside the church, rows of guards with muskets walked past the ruins of the bleed-up church of Santa Catarina. He Zhuo, who was in charge of commanding them, rode on the back of the 'dog meat' and shouted loudly to form a gun formation.

The city is now full of fires, and the line of sight is not a problem. According to the beggar's guide, the tall church in front of you is the most important religious building in the city. Not only were there a large number of barricades around the church, thousands of Portuguese troops were stationed, and even a few light six-pounder cannons were crouched behind the defensive line.

According to Zhou Qingfeng's order, ordinary Portuguese and army soldiers could lay down their arms and surrender. Only these religious personnel who are specifically responsible for brainwashing must not be spared, and they must all be executed.

But the enemy would not rest on its laurels, and as soon as the ranks of the Guards infantry came up, several guns on the opposite side opened fire. Although the six-pounder cannon has a small projectile and a small charge, the cannon is a cannon anyway. A line of attack came and took four or five lives in an instant, and the infantry could not defend against it at all.

He Zhuo immediately ordered the team to retreat, and at the same time asked Huofeng to go up and throw the explosives bag again. But when the fire phoenix really went up, a powerful holy light radiated from the dome of the Church of the Merciful Jesus, and a soul phantom entangled both the fire phoenix and the ice phoenix.

"Hell, it's up to us." He Zhuo knew that his offensive could not be stopped, and he had to constantly inflict heavy losses on the enemy, constantly pushing the enemy back, making it impossible to organize effective resistance, and even demoralizing. "Artillery, what about our own artillery?"

Compared with the Portuguese piles of artillery that often weigh tons, the artillery of the Guards battalion is much lighter, only more than 300 kilograms, and can follow the troops. With He Zhuo's order, a 150 mm cannon barrel was hidden in position in the dark, although it was too late to build a gun position, but the power of the artillery firing was not reduced in the slightest.

As soon as the cannon fired, the shells went straight in the direction of the church.

Two defensive six-pounder guns were placed in front of the church.

This was the only artillery that the Portuguese army could maneuver relatively easily in an emergency. Both cannons were surrounded by a large number of benches and square tables that had been brought out of the church as protection. But in the face of the flying projectiles, these piles of wooden furniture are as fragile as paper, and the moment they are hit, they all fly all over the sky, and they do not play any defensive role.

The six-pounder cannon behind the barricade was also directly destroyed by the flying projectiles, and the bronze barrel was separated from the gun carriage and flew around with a spin. It was this indirect aftermath that broke the bones and tendons of the Portuguese who were defending nearby, and they vomited blood.

The artillery fire in the darkness came suddenly, and they reloaded faster than the defenders could have imagined. Even if there was no manpower to reposition the position, the two battalion guns that followed could still fire a high rate of fire of one shot a minute. In contrast, the six-pounder cannon on the opposite side was not as fast as theirs.

While the two battalion artillery shelled from the front, Ho Zhuo immediately led his soldiers around the ruins of the church of Santa Catarina, looking for a way from the side to approach the church of Jesus of Mercy. A large number of Portuguese were scattering and fleeing under the shelling, but when they found themselves in their retreat being intercepted, the oncoming platoon guns were exerting their firepower.

Bang bang bang......

Under the glow of the fire, the distance between the enemy and the enemy in the city was less than twenty meters. The muzzle flame of the flintlock pistol was frequently lit, and rows of Portuguese soldiers and city dwellers were transformed into nameless ghosts and corpses strewn everywhere under the continuous flying projectiles.

Explosives, platoon guns, artillery......

The roars and screams of humanity echoed throughout Goa City, where the Portuguese had sent troops to attack indigenous villages and cities, inflicting death and grief on others, and today they have suffered the same for the first time.

When the fire phoenix appeared with its golden body and began to burn the heavens and the earth, the holy soul of Xavier, who guarded Goa, also struggled to transform in the heat, and the whole city fell into a panic. Both the Governor of Coldino, who commanded the resistance in the city, and Lord Costa, who commanded the attack in the direction of the fortress, felt cold in their hands and feet - it was the end of the judgment.

At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng was shouting in front of the rocket platoon position in his fortress: "Give the enemy a lifelong firepower cover, let them record tonight's fear and helplessness in history, and let their descendants firmly remember today's misery and pain." ”
