Chapter 258: Storming the Governor's Palace
After a few circles around the city of Macao, the defenders of Macao, who had followed the city wall, were either wiped out by the warriors with high martial arts, or they were thrown off and lost the trace of this team.
Leading this team into Macau City was also Li Xian's helpless move.
If he still has 500 guards in his hand, Li Xian will also fight steadily, and after taking the fort, he will rely on the warriors to occupy a certain city gate, and attract the defenders of Macao to attack the city gate and destroy it little by little.
It's a pity that Li Xian is very short of troops at hand now, and he can't play this kind of way.
According to the current situation, after the battle drags on until the morning, the Macau Parliament may be forced to send peace talks due to the situation, but it will not allow Li Xian's troops to occupy it, which is somewhat inconsistent with Li Xian's purpose.
Therefore, if he wanted to truly occupy Macao, rather than simply forcing people to confess and pay the ransom, Li Xian had to take some strange risks and take some extraordinary measures.
Now, the team led by Li Xian is hurrying through the city wearing the clothes of the Macao defenders, and some people feel that something is wrong with them, but they have not yet been able to react; a few clever people can see some clues, but they don't know who to report to or how to deal with them for a while.
Taking advantage of the stunned efforts of the people in the city, Li Xian led nearly eighty warriors all the way to the Governor's Palace, which is the place where the Governor of Macao and the members of the parliament work.
In the Governor's Palace, the Governor of Biandu and dozens of councillors gathered to discuss how to resist foreign enemies.
"What the hell is going on, who is attacking us, and for what, does anyone know?" said Governor Biandu, excitedly questioning the councillors.
"Unfortunately, we don't know who the enemy is, maybe pirates, maybe Chinese, maybe British. An elderly councillor sighed.
"It's just so unusual, we were beaten for a long time, and we didn't even know who the other party was.
By the way, what about the three batteries outside the city, how can they turn their guns around and hit us?"
"Naturally, it was occupied by the enemy. I've long said that Garcia is lazy and unfit to master the army, so this has come true. "This appears to be a councillor who is at odds with Captain Garcia, who is in charge of the Macau garrison.
At this time, many people were silent, and Garcia was indeed to blame for this attack, but it didn't seem appropriate to mention the rectification struggle at this time.
"I think it was the Chinese who attacked Macau, to be exact, the Chinese navy that fought against the British Navy a few days ago, that is, the army from Leizhou. Said a woman in a tight black combat suit.
If Li Xian is here, he will be surprised, because this lady Li Xian has met twice, that is, the Western superhero who fought against Li Xian's team with Rogers and others, that is, Natalia Scarlett, nicknamed Black Widow.
"You mean that Li Xian's troops?" Mr. Governor had a flash of inspiration, and felt that the words of the beautiful woman in black were very enlightening.
"It's just that we have no grievances with this Li Xian, how could he come to attack us?" asked a middle-aged man who didn't understand.
"How can there be no revenge, when the fake news led him into the trap, Macau has made efforts, not to mention that he arrested many of his subordinates afterwards. Natalia reminded the forgetful parliamentarians.
Black widow Natalia will be in Macao today, purely because the British side has lost two warships and its strength has been greatly damaged, for fear that the Chinese will have follow-up actions or the Macao side has other ideas, and was sent to confirm that the Macao authorities will continue to cooperate with the British government.
Although Natalia is a daughter, she has a great talent for diplomacy and often performs such diplomatic missions.
In fact, she herself was not sure if the enemy outside the city was Li Xian's troops, but she felt that it was always right to splash dirty water on Li Xian.
"I knew it was a bit rash to arrest someone in the first place. Governor Biandu muttered.
"Now is not the time to regret it, let's get through the difficulties in front of us first. I propose that all adult men should be called together to take up arms against this unknown enemy.
At the same time, you should also ask those special guests to see if they can help. The old councillor said hurriedly.
Mr. Governor shuddered, for it was proper to call in the militia, but the thought of the pale faces of those special guests, and their extraordinary recipes, made the Governor not want to deal with them.
Dealing with those people, I'm afraid it's better to compromise with the group outside the city and pay more ransom fees.
The Governor and the legislators did not yet know that Li Xian's aim was to occupy the city of Macau, not just to demonstrate.
"It's all right to call in the militia, but the gentlemen—" said Mr. Governor, who suddenly stopped and looked out in surprise, "how could there be sudden gunshots and explosions at the outer gates, and could it be that the enemy had already invaded the city?"
After a short period of observation, he felt that there were only fifty or sixty Macao garrisons guarding the Governor's Palace, and the degree of defense was even lower than he thought, so he hurriedly ordered an attack.
In fact, from the perspective of the defenders of Macao, the enemy is still outside the city, so the focus of defense should be arranged on the four city gates and city walls, and should not be placed on the governor's palace deep inside the city.
Seeing seventy or eighty of their own defenders rushing over and trying to enter the Governor's Palace, the guards of the Governor's Palace thought they were deserters, and they didn't want to shoot, they just wanted to stop people.
Unexpectedly, after these people approached, they took out all kinds of weapons, killing people to chop melons and vegetables, and no one could stop them.
With the cooperation of grenades and pistols, it only took Li Xian and the others a few minutes to defeat the counterattack of the guards and enter the governor's palace.
As soon as Li Xian retreated from the door of the Governor's Mansion Chamber, he felt a black shadow fly out of it and hit him with a punch in the chest.
Fortunately, Li Xian has been concentrating on the enemy, punching the enemy with his left hand, and slashing it again, but he didn't expect that the opponent's martial arts were not weak, so he floated out with his fist and avoided the knife.
"Oh, aren't you someone on that boat last time, why are you here?" Li Xian couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise.
However, Li Xian was just a little surprised, Natalia just felt a monstrous wave, she just habitually poured dirty water on Li Xian's head just now, but she didn't expect that it was really Li Xian who led the troops to attack Macau, and she also touched the side of the Macau Council.
Natalia's mind turned in an instant, and she understood that the current situation was extremely dangerous, unless she could suddenly subdue Li Xian and make his subordinates have some concerns, otherwise all the members of the Macau Council and herself would have to explain here today.
Natalia has seen Li Xian fight against Rogers, and she has also made a move against someone just now, and understands that Li Xian's martial arts are only above herself, and by no means below her, but at this time, she can only take risks to attack Li Xian, hoping to grasp that glimmer of life.
