Chapter 320: Bombardment of Shenlong Island
Gao Xianda pondered for a moment and said, "Master, where is it so complicated at this time?" If you want them to surrender, just send them a letter of surrender. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOf course, for the sake of safety, we have to give them a round of shelling first, to show our sincerity. ”
So Gao Xianda ordered someone to bring pen and paper, wrote a large number of letters of persuasion, and then wrapped them around the bow and arrow.
Then Gao Xianda asked Mei Haidao: "Master, you said, at this moment, where are there fewer people?" Let's not really hit it right and hurt too many people by mistake. What do you say? ”
Mei Haidao hurriedly said: "No, this is the time for them to have a morning meeting, and the five dragon envoys and their subordinates will gather in the hall for a meeting." Since the adults wanted to find Hong Antong and Meng Yan's bad luck, they naturally wanted to shoot at the place where they were retreating and cultivating! ”
As he spoke, he pointed in another direction.
Gao Xianda nodded, and said in his heart: "This time you still said that you have nothing to do with the Divine Dragon Sect?" Even the timing of their meetings is so clear. ”
But he still said, "In that case, then it's up to you." ”
Saying that, Gao Xianda gave the order to go down, and all the cannons aimed at the direction of the back mountain to bombard.
Gao Xianda gave an order, and Zhao Liangdong asked people to go down and wave the flag to give the order. Then came the sound of a rumbling cannon fire.
Although the flagship where Gao Xianda is located has a large draft, the five cannons on the same side are fired together, and there is also a lot of anti-shock power, which makes the whole ship sway.
Except for the seasoned sailors, these skilled contractors all shook with each other, and their bodies obviously showed a state of discomfort.
However, Gao Xianda has learned the skill of "born from the sea", so in this shaking, there is no problem, and he still talks and laughs with everyone.
This was the first round of shelling, and in an era when ballistics was not so developed, the range and landing point of the cannon depended entirely on experience.
Although these gunners have been trained, their accuracy is difficult to guarantee. The shells did not fall in the same place, but scattered a large area, forty shells, forming a large net of iron balls, which fell from the sky. Not only the back mountain, but even the nearby houses within a radius of several miles have been affected.
The Divine Dragon Cult is only a religious group living on the island, and has not been baptized by siege warfare. So they built palaces, not castles. Most of their houses are made of wood.
Where can they withstand the bombardment of these iron ball shells?
Even the thick wooden girders broke immediately after being shot. As soon as the girder was broken, the whole house could not withstand it, and there were not a few who collapsed violently.
Moreover, the fires fired by GOHLSTON are not all engineering-based iron-cast solid shells, many of which are scattered shells that he carefully developed before. It was filled with a large amount of gunpowder and miscellaneous bits and pieces, and after hitting the ground, it exploded violently and radiated the contents of the inside.
Under the bombardment, there were hardly a few intact houses.
However, the soldiers below were indeed more obedient, Gao Xianda asked them not to bombard the hall, they really didn't aim at the hall, and none of them smashed on the hall.
At this time, as Meihai Dao said, there was a meeting in the main hall, and most of the sect members were concentrated in the main hall. When they heard the sound of the cannons, they ran out to watch.
Where have they seen the power of cannons, for a while, they were all stunned on the spot.
There is a part of the smart gang that knows that there is an invasion of foreign enemies, and the enemy is very strong. So they began to look for cover and dodge.
There are also some people who are not so smart, but they are very bold. They could also see Gao Xianda's fleet, so they rushed towards Gao Xianda with primitive weapons such as single-bladed swords.
Gao Xianda's fleet did not go ashore, but was anchored and fixed on the sea. If they want to attack Gao Xianda, they must swim in the sea for a while.
But this distance is enough to suppress them.
Seeing that they had rushed to the shore and were about to go into the water, he ordered his men to release their arrows.
So a rain of arrows came and shot down many stunned young people who had already rushed into the sea.
However, this time they were throwing shots, not aiming at the enemy for free point shooting, so most of the Divine Dragon Sect members still had nothing to do.
At this time, someone noticed that the arrow had a note tied to it, so they opened it and read it. But it's a pity that those who generally rush to the front belong to the stunned blue type, and such people are generally not highly educated. To put it another way, they are illiterate.
So they couldn't understand what was written on the note, and they were still stunned.
It wasn't until the literate people rushed over, and they hadn't been shot yet, that the meaning of the note was understood by the congregation.
It turned out to be: "We are very strong, you shoot and don't kill." ".
Some people refused to admit defeat and wanted to rush over to give it a try, but they were shot at a place near the sea, and they were either shot to death, or they understood more deeply the strength of the enemy.
And when they were close to the sea, they were only faced with bows and arrows, and it was the cannons that bombarded the houses.
The muzzle of the black hole was pointed at him, and he inevitably felt empty in his heart.
"Fortunately, I didn't get killed......," they thought to themselves, and it was inevitable that some people who did not have such a deep faith or were afraid of death would choose to give up.
Human beings have a herd mentality, and when the first person chooses to surrender, the people behind him have no such deep reason to mention the sect master.
Hong Antong has practiced martial arts, and he hasn't appeared for a long time. And the black dragon envoy Meng Yan is the same.
Since they wanted martial arts and didn't want benevolence, they still didn't stand up to save the team when the enemy entered the house. The hearts of the congregational are easily dispersed.
As a result, more and more people chose to surrender.
Gao Xianda had to send a small boat to row over and take them in.
Gao Xianda believes that these people are most likely just ordinary congregants. People who really have status will not surrender so easily, people like Rootless Daoren, Lu Gaoxuan, and Fat Toutuo have very high martial arts, and the more they come to this time, the more stable they must be. Never leave the main hall easily.
It's as if Gao Xianda led everyone to open fire, but he himself hid in the largest ship.
Therefore, Gao Xianda deliberately pulled out his "Twenty-Eight Forces" bow, took an arrow with a letter of persuasion, pulled the bow full, and shot it towards the main hall of the Divine Dragon Sect.
Even the people in the house should know that there is an ultimatum.
And Gao Xianda has written the situation very clearly. If there is no reply at the last moment, then Gao Xianda can only order the cannon again. (To be continued.) )
