But as soon as Alhan Russell finished speaking, Li Baofei swiftly drew his knife and slashed down.
Alhan Russell froze, a line appeared around his neck, and his head fell off.
His body fell to the ground, and a pool of blood flowed from the cut on his neck.
My head started spinning a few times.
"Hang up these heads to boost our military morale!"
The sound of Song army bugles rang out from the ship.
The warships braved the wind and waves, approaching Guangzhou Port.
Merchant ships anchored in Guangzhou Port all witnessed this scene, and the merchants all showed expressions of shock.
At the port of Guangzhou, patrols of foreign merchants were inspecting daily security when they were stunned to see warships approaching from the sea.
"Go and report this immediately!"
The officers of the barbarian army roared.
The cannons at Guangzhou Port were originally built to defend against pirates, but after Guangzhou fell to the Japanese, the area was taken over by foreigners.
Each fort had three men, who were held up by the barbarian army.
However, this is the third generation of cannons of the Song Dynasty.
The navy is now equipped with fifth-generation artillery, which has a range more than twice that of the third generation.
These barbarians were naturally unaware of this. The officer in charge of the barbarians was named Sara, who shouted loudly, "Ready!"
The barbarians began clumsily adding cannons.
The Song Dynasty civilians who were carrying goods all moved aside, watching this scene with a mixture of excitement and fear.
As the Song army's warships drew closer and were soon within firing range, Sarah smiled triumphantly. She knew that if those warships dared to get close, she would blast them to smithereens.
The idea only flashed through my mind once, and then the sound of cannon fire rang out at sea.
Boom boom boom...
A series of muffled sounds emanated from the Song army's warships, shattering the void beneath them.
Bang bang bang...
Shells rained down on the harbor, smashing the fortifications to pieces and exploding, turning the barbarian soldiers behind them into bloody messes.
Sarah was unaware of what was happening when the second wave of artillery fire came crashing down, blowing some of the gun emplacements away and sending stone fragments flying.
Li Bao remained calm and composed, gazing intently at the port of Guangzhou.
Boom boom boom...
The sound of Song army cannons shook the heavens and the earth, the echoes making people's eardrums hurt.
Countless shells pounded the gun emplacements in Guangzhou Port, shattering them into pieces.
The barbarians were blasted to pieces, and those who were not dead scrambled to their deaths.
Sarah crawled on the ground, frantically crawling.
The Song army's thunderous attack shocked everyone.
The people who had been hiding couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw this.
"Your Majesty, is that His Majesty?"
"No, those are soldiers sent by His Majesty to rescue us!" After a pause, she added, "You can also interpret it as His Majesty the Emperor himself coming!"
"Yay! Great, we're saved!" The little girl was wearing tattered clothes and her face was covered in dirt, but her smile was incredibly pure and endearing.
The barbarians began to retreat, fleeing in disarray.
Li Bao's army landed on the shore shortly afterward.
One cannon after another was pushed off the ship, and squads of naval soldiers in dark blue uniforms walked down the warship in neat rows.
The expressions on each of their faces were solemn.
The laborers who had been carrying goods earlier all appeared on the roadside and began to call out.
After landing, Li Bao did not linger at the port. He led his 20,000-strong army directly toward Guangzhou.
At this time, both Aliben and Chen Zhaohong had already learned that the Song army had attacked.
The city gates of Guangzhou immediately went into the most stringent state of alert.
The people of Guangzhou all knew that the Song army had arrived, and they spread the news with great joy.
Some people were moved to tears.
The imperial court has not forgotten us!
The Emperor has not forgotten us!
Suddenly, Guangzhou, which had been in a state of decline, was filled with boundless vitality.
Everyone saw hope.
All the foreign troops in Guangzhou were mobilized.
Chen Zhaohong anxiously approached Aliben, much like a middle school student who had done something wrong and knew he was about to be ambushed on his way home from school: "What should we do now? The imperial army has already attacked!"
Aliben laughed and said, "Don't be impatient, we have an army of 200,000! Even if each of us spits, we can drown those Song soldiers!"
Given this situation, this number does indeed sound very alarming.
The entire city of Guangzhou was bustling with activity, and ordinary people were forced to begin moving grain.
The doctors in the city were all arrested, ready to treat the wounded at any time.
Aliben laughed and said to Chen Zhaohong, "The Song army is nothing to worry about. From today onwards, you will be the emperor of the Nanyue Kingdom!"
Chen Zhaohong, who was originally very anxious, suddenly became very energetic as soon as he heard the word "emperor," and his eyes even lit up.
"It's all thanks to your efforts. After I ascend the throne, you will be my prime minister!"
The group burst into laughter.
Ali said, "Let's go, just in case, let's go to the city wall and check on the defenses!"
So the group took a carriage and went to inspect the city wall. They saw that the soldiers on the city wall were all fully armed and ready to fight.
The cannons on the city walls are ready, and the muskets are plentiful.
Chen Zhaohong smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, a young man rushed out from below the city wall, shouting loudly, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Great Song Dynasty! The traitor Chen Zhaohong shall die a horrible death! These barbarian scoundrels have invaded our China, and we will slaughter them all without leaving a single one alive!"
