Everyone raised their heads, Xun Sheng looked eastward.
"Drought thunder?" Li Gonggong muttered.
"No, it's artillery..." Mo Yun murmured, "This is the sound of artillery. I
have heard it many times in the Ministry of Engineering!"
"Your Majesty, there is a new report coming back." A guard walked into the
hall at this time and said, "The reconnaissance team saw an unprecedented
giant sea ship on the north wall. The head and tail are likely to exceed two
hundred. There are a lot of barrels hidden on both sides!"
"Two hundred feet? Are you sure?" He Guicai said in surprise, "The entire Daqi
can't find such a big boat."
"My lord, this is indeed what the courier said!"
Xia Fan was a little surprised.
What is the concept of two hundred feet? It is almost half the length of a
football field. He has been in Jinxia for so long, and the largest merchant
ship he has ever seen is only fifty or sixty feet.
"This is the trump card they dare to play Jinxia City's idea..." Ning Wanjun's
expression became solemn, "If we let the enemy seize the city wall first, we
might be in big trouble."
...
After a round of shelling, the North Wall was in a mess.
This is the first time that Wang Qingzhi has seen such a battle.
When the majestic ship opened fire, the flames seemed to ignite half of the
ship's side! Sparks and dense smoke spurted out from top to bottom, like a
fire-breathing dragon.
And the target it faced-the stone thrower and the powerful crossbow on the
city wall, was instantly torn apart. The soldiers who were manipulating them
didn't get much better. Most of them fell into pieces with these city defense
equipment. Even if they survived, they all broke their hands and feet, and
fell into a pool of blood and wailed.
With just one bombardment, the defensive line organized on the northern wall
ceased to exist.
The rest of the guards who had escaped by chance dropped their weapons and ran
towards the tunnel inside the wall-apparently they had been scared and had no
courage to contend with this terrible ship.
"Hahahaha-what do you think of Brother Wang? I chose this scenic spot well?"
The masked man stood at the top of a watchtower in the city, opened his arms
and laughed loudly, "That's the Victory, the trump card of the Dongsheng
National Navy. In order to purchase this sea giant, the imperial court went on
a diet and spent a full half a year of government income!"
There was no joy in Wang Qingzhi's heart.
He only felt cold on his back, and his feet seemed to be a bottomless cliff.
"This is not the same as what we... said yes."
He said every word with great difficulty, as if he was caught in his throat by
something.
The moment the ship appeared, things completely deviated from his expected
orbit.
"Different?" The masked man chuckled, "What's the difference? Isn't all this
planned by you and me?"
"I didn't ask you to make such a big battle!" Wang Qingzhi couldn't help but
yelled, "You are pirates, you are the robbers who came to Jinxia to make a
fortune, and the culprit who killed the princess in the chaos! What is it...
Can a pirate have such a ship?"
This is no longer a problem.
He planned very well. The government was the party most responsible for
Jinxia's suffering. When the prefect waited for the death of the chief
officer, this matter would be brought to the head of the Zhou Mu and the
garrison. His royal family is no more than one of the hundreds of merchants in
the city. He was also a victim of looting, and he also undertook the task of
making salt this year. It is impossible for him to be charged with a pirate
attack.
He had even arranged the manpower, and when the Donghai Gang arrived, he would
set fire to his house. Although some of the antiques and authentic works in
the house are heartbroken, as long as the Wang family is still there, these
extraneous things will be able to earn back sooner or later.
But what he was waiting for was a massive attack. The attackers were from the
Dongsheng National Navy.
The court is not a fool.
Just ask someone on the street casually, and you will know that a giant
gunboat approached the north of Jinxia City along the inland river estuary
that day, blasting the guards on the city wall to the ground.
Hearing these testimonies, would anyone believe that it was just a group of
pirates who robbed Jinxia City?
All the excuses he had prepared, all the plans he had planned, were all in
vain at this moment.
"Oh? You didn't tell me about the scale." The man shrugged, "I still remember
what you said, no matter what we do, you will not interfere. You only need the
princess to die. I don't think Dongsheng It violates this agreement."
"Trouble use your brain!" Wang Qingzhi said angrily. "You are going to leave
after all. What should the Wang family do this time? Do you still want salt?"
The man in the mask didn't say a word, but moved his fingers—the cold golden
tip of the fingertips made Wang Qingzhi suddenly recover.
At this time, it is not the Wang family who is in charge of the life and death
of Jinxia City, but the man in front of him, or the power he represents.
If the other party wants to do it, absolutely no one can protect himself.
Thinking of this, he instantly calmed down.
"No... I didn't mean that. It's just an anxiety in my heart that made this
gaffe. Please don't take it off."
"Brother Wang, why should I blame you? Without the support of the Wang family,
Dongsheng Kingdom would not be able to unite many forces in a short period of
time to overwhelm the decaying evil horse dynasty." The masked man's voice
couldn't hear any fluctuations. , "I also understand your difficulties, but
who said we will go?"
"What?" Wang Qingzhi was stunned.
"A long time ago, my family lived on this land, but now it's just returning to
their homeland." The other side looked to the vast plain to the west, "There
is only a narrow mountainous land beyond the sea, and the resources are
scarce. Except for silver and copper, it can be said that everything is
lacking. It is better to say that you are trapped on the island than living on
the island. Without getting rid of this bondage, there is no future
~www.mtlnovel.com~especially This world is about to usher in major changes,
and we must return to the mainland before we can have the capital to fight the
changes."
What is he talking about... the world? Change? Wang Qingzhi could not
understand what this person was talking about, but he understood one thing,
"Shenzhou Army is not far from Jinxia City. The Privy Council can delay it for
a day or two, but not a month or two. That is tens of thousands. An army of
people! You don’t even need to prepare for battles in the jurisdiction, and
you can arrive the next day after the start of the day. Why did you stop
them?"
Although the walls of Jinxia City are tall and thick, if the number of people
is too large, the fall will only happen sooner or later.
He can never drive the Victory to the wall, right?
"You don't think that I let the Privy Council delay an extra day to allow
myself to retreat?" The masked man laughed, "On the contrary, that is the time
we need to prepare for the war."
Wang Qingzhi was stunned. Is the other party planning to use one or two
thousand people to fight against the Shenzhou army that is more than ten times
his own?
"You just need to look at it, don't worry about anything." He patted Wang
Qingzhi on the shoulder, "When Dongsheng Kingdom enters Shenzhou, you still
need to continue to make salt for us. Not three times the previous, but
...All."
