Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

At this moment, Wales knew that his identity had been completely exposed by the Chinese man in front of him who was full of hatred. It was probably a pipe dream for him to escape this disaster.

In despair, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Dear sir, please allow me to convey the message that the bishop asked me to bring to your general."

"This is the Catholic Holy City in the East. According to the rules set by His Holiness the Pope, no army of any country is allowed to enter this holy city without permission. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect to God and will be severely punished!"

After Xiang Zhixia translated this to Captain Zhang, Zhang San sneered and said loudly: "Humph! The old emperor of the Qing Dynasty couldn't do anything to our Tiandi Army, and now a pope has appeared from nowhere? He really thinks he is an important person!

Go tell that ignorant fellow that I don’t believe in his god, I only believe in the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and the God of Wealth who brings a lot of money!”

At this time, Wales on the side quickly advised: "General, please do not underestimate the power of the Pope! You know, the Pope has a large number of well-equipped Crusaders and the terrifying Knights Templar!"

"Moreover, among the high-ranking officials of the Catholic Church, there are many monks with supernatural powers. The mysterious power they possess is not something that any country can easily contend with!"

However, Zhang Sancai was not moved at all. He just waved his hand nonchalantly and laughed disdainfully: "Hahahaha... stop scaring people here! No matter how powerful they are, they are nothing but passing clouds in front of our brave and fearless Tiandi Army! Stop talking nonsense and tell me how many armed forces there are in this city!"

Hearing this, Wales did not dare to neglect it and quickly replied: "General, as far as I know, there are a total of 2,800 armed soldiers in this city. Among them, there are 500 Crusaders, 2,000 local natives as auxiliary troops, and 300 of my guards."

"Someone, come and take this governor away! After we return to Manila, we will hand him over to the brigade commander for punishment." Zhang Sancai shouted loudly with a gloomy face.

Upon hearing the order, two burly soldiers stepped forward quickly. They pulled out a thick rope from their waists and skillfully and quickly tied up the governor named Charles.

Seeing this, Qi Ershi's face turned pale and he was terrified. He shouted at the top of his voice: "General, when two countries are at war, they don't even kill envoys. How can you treat me like this? This is against the rules!" However, his shouting received no response.

Xiang Zhixia, who was standing aside, had an indifferent expression on his face. He turned a deaf ear to Qi Ershi's pleas for mercy and was even too lazy to translate for him. Xiang Zhixia walked up to Qi Ershi, stared at him fiercely with a sharp gaze, and said with gritted teeth: "Humph! Even if you are the envoy, in our eyes, you are an executioner with blood on your hands! You have brought this upon yourself!"

After saying that, Xiang Zhixia turned around and ignored Wales. At this time, the two soldiers were dragging the struggling Wales towards the back without mercy.

After Wales was forcibly taken away by the soldiers, Zhang San raised his head slightly and glanced at the pocket watch in his hand. At this moment, the pointer had pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon. If he didn't speed up, he might not be able to reach Laoag City before dark. Thinking of this, Zhang San did not dare to delay any longer. He decisively issued an order: "Pass my order, order the artillery battalion to open fire immediately, and notify all the soldiers of the first, second and third battalions to prepare for the siege! No mistakes!"

As Zhang Sancai gave the order, a deafening roar was heard throughout the sky.

It turned out that 36 75mm infantry guns roared in unison, and the shells poured towards the city wall in front like raindrops.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos...

On the city wall, the Crusaders and Allied soldiers, who were originally on high alert with solemn expressions, did not even have time to react at that moment. They only heard deafening noises suddenly, followed by countless shells pouring down from the sky like raindrops.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire city wall seemed to be plunged into a doomsday scene.

With each violent explosion, countless broken limbs and flesh fragments flew everywhere. The scarlet blood drew shocking arcs in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.

The miserable scene was unbearable to watch, as if one was in a terrible hell on earth.

"Boom boom boom..." The shells kept coming, as if they would never stop, bombarding the city walls madly.

At this moment, Zhang Sancai, who was standing in the back watching the battle, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I have always heard that artillery shells can be used to attack the city, but I have never witnessed such a shocking scene with my own eyes.

Now it seems that this power is indeed extraordinary! He deeply understands that if he can minimize the casualties of his own soldiers while killing the enemy, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the combat efficiency.

And this large-scale bombardment is obviously an excellent way to achieve this goal.

Since the Tiandi Army has extremely strict requirements on casualty rates - there must be zero casualties, using artillery to bombard enemy strongholds like this has become one of the key means to ensure that this indicator is achieved.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about twenty minutes, the intensive bombardment finally stopped.

Looking at the city wall at the city gate at this time, a huge gap had been blown out, bricks and rubble were piled up like a mountain, and dust was flying all over the sky.

Seeing this, Zhang Sancai gave the order without hesitation: "Order the first battalion to attack immediately!"

After receiving the order, the battalion commander Wang Erbiao quickly responded: "Yes!"

Then, he turned around and shouted to the 500 soldiers in the first battalion who were already ready to go, "Brothers, follow me!"

After saying that, he took the lead and took a big step forward, holding a brand new Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, and led his soldiers to search carefully towards the city gate.

It is worth mentioning that when the Nanyang Fleet set out, the 2,000 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles that had just been produced were all equipped to the first brigade and the first regiment first.

Because of this, the regiment led by Zhang Sancai can be said to be the most well-equipped and most powerful regiment in the entire army.
