Chapter 126 Quick, ask Jesus for help!

The team of more than a thousand people was running less than a hundred steps away from the outer city of St. Paul's Battery, and was busy building fortifications and arranging artillery. Of course, this movement would not be small!

So they were soon discovered by several black sentries in black clothes arranged by Rotoni outside the city. Although these black sentries are really suitable for lurking and acting at night, their math is not very good.

"Governor General, they have many people!"

Rotoni frowned, what is the "many, many"?

Another wise-looking black sentry said: "They have as many people as the stars in the sky, and they can't count them!"

Luo Dongni hurriedly looked up at the sky at night, and was startled by the stars in the sky!

Ten thousand pieces will definitely be more than one!

The Ming army really came so many times? Can those ten ships carry so many people?

"Governor," De Figo came up at this time, "The enemy will likely use the night to launch a sneak attack! I suggest strengthening the defense immediately and mobilizing the reserves to the city walls west of the outer city to prevent the enemy from sneak attacking."

Rotoni nodded. He didn't have the courage to send troops out of the city to fight his opponent at night just now, he had already seen the fire on the waters of the Inner Harbor of Haojiang!

With the fire, he also knew that the fire was his own galley!

I don’t know what they hit these sailboats, so why did they burn like that at once? Do the Chinese not only have black magic, but also Greek fire?

Rothony studied and studied history. He knew that the power of Greek fire can not only burn ships, but also used in field battles. He burned wherever he threw a bottle containing Greek fire, and burned a large piece of it.

Moreover, this Greek fire is likely to have used some kind of magic. It is said that it is not necessary to light it, and it is directly put in a bottle and throw it out. The bottle can be burned as soon as it is broken, and it will burn whatever it touches and it will be burned down after burning!

So don’t leave the city at night. Anyway, the outer city of St. Paul’s Fortress is quite solid and not so easy to be broken. Even if you want to go out of the city to fight, you should wait for dawn before talking!

"Okay! Just pass the order to the reserve team, and let them all carry muskets and swords, and climb the west wall of the outer city." Rothony thought for a while, and then ordered, "All the adult men in the castle who did not serve God and did not join the army gathered outside St. Paul's Cathedral, and I will give them a speech!"

The adult men in the city of Concentrated City also had to give speeches to mobilize them to take up weapons to defend the colony.

There were as many enemies outside the city as the stars in the sky, so of course Rotoni had to summon some more people.

However, before delivering his speech, he wanted to go to St. Paul's Cathedral to see what the prayer of Father Santos was.

So after giving the order, Governor Rotoni, who had been standing on the city wall for most of the day and had sore legs, took his adjutant De Figo down the city wall.

Inside the west wall of the outer city of St. Paul's Basilica is St. Paul's Cathedral and St. Paul's Theological College. The cathedral is located in the northwest corner of the outer city, backed by the wall. The front of the cathedral is a rather spacious square. The square is now filled with Portuguese people who are all seeking refuge in the city. The mixed-race Portuguese and their most loyal slaves are densely packed, and the number is probably less than 20,000!

There are many people, but Rotoni doesn't feel much fighting spirit. Most of them are dejected, and many women and children are still crying.

Hearing these cryings, Rotoni was really a little desperate. The Macau colony had not been invaded by a powerful enemy for forty-six or seven years!

Most of the colonial residents who once took up weapons to resist the Dutch were no longer alive. Now the people who live here are colonial masters who have not really experienced war!

Rothony himself was also very depressed, so he was not in the mood to encourage these colonial masters, but walked straight into the brightly lit Cathedral of St. Paul.

The church was filled with wealthy and noble Macau Portuguese and clergy who led everyone to pray together.

As soon as he walked into the church, Rotoni heard a reassuring tenor.

This is the singing of Bishop Santos, who is leading the singing of Hallelujah.

"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we come together to praise the Lord. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, we worship him alone. What honor, how majesty, how holy"

Mr. Sang sang very emotionally. With the candlelight, Luo Dongni saw the old man's tears.

Rothony said in his heart: "Everyone sang and cried, God must have known our suffering, and He will definitely come to save us! Now the only one who can count on in Macau is God."

Thinking of this, Rotoni felt a sense of peace of mind that he had never been before. However, his peace of mind was maintained for less than an hour, and he was interrupted by a sudden explosion.

Although there were nine 12-pound cannons on St. Paul's turret at this time, Rotoni could still hear that the roar was completely different from the 12-pound cannon.

Rotoni thought about it and felt something was wrong. He quickly looked up at the "Tenor Archbishop" who was still singing, and found that the archbishop was not affected by the explosion at all, and was still "Hallelujah" there.

Rotoni had just breathed a sigh of relief, but after about ten minutes, another very disharmonious explosion came from his ears!

"Governor, this explosion sounded wrong." De Figo also heard that it was wrong and hurried to Rotoni's ear, "Did the enemy secretly climb over the moat and climb up the city wall?"

Of course, De Figo knew the existence of the grenade, but he didn't think that the thing could be thrown from two moats to St. Paul's turret, so he thought it was the enemy who launched a sneak attack.

After Rotoni was told this, he was not in the mood to pray. He quickly left the church with De Figo and arrived in the square.

At this time, the sky in the east was already white, and it was already early in the morning.

Rotoni and Figo found the square silent, and everyone turned their heads and looked west!

Something must have happened!

The two of them hurriedly looked west. After looking for about seven or eight minutes, they heard a dull roar, and then a ball of fire rose from outside the city wall, and the explosion of the earth shaking mountains came.

Is this a flowering bullet fired by the artillery?

Rotoni and De Figo immediately understood what was going on.

Zhu San Taisun’s men made their divine thunder into flowering bullets and put them into cannons and shot them out!

"Governor, they made that divine thunder into a flowering splash!" De Figo's voice trembled a little.

If this Zhuge Divine Thunder is made into a flowering bullet and hit with a cannon, it would be terrible!

Rothony said: "Hurry up, let's go up and take a look."

It was very good, but these two people were just standing outside St. Paul's Cathedral, just not moving. Maybe they were thinking about whether they should take the first step or take the left foot first?

Just as the two were thinking about it, another low roar was heard, and then a ball of fire suddenly rose.

However, this time the fireball did not rise outside the city, but rose inside the city, followed by a loud noise from the earth and the mountains!

The flowering bullet hit the city!

How great is this now?
