After nightfall, the torches of the camp set up a lighted corridor between the
outskirts of the city and Fengyang Villa.
In the absence of siege methods on both sides, the main task of the soldiers
has become to guard against a sneak attack by the enemy sentient beings.
The princess also moved the main account under the city wall to respond to
various emergencies at any time. If Jinxia City is regarded as a battlefield,
her position is on the front line of the battlefield.
"You said you met Fang Xiandao?" After hearing what Li said, Xia Fan was
surprised, "Where is he now?"
To be honest, in the few letters that the Toluo family sent to Gyeonggi, the
one he had most hoped for was Luo Qing, and the second was Feinian—the two of
them had at least fought side by side with him in the first battle against the
devil. As for Fang Xiandao Not only did he never deal with the other party,
but he also seemed to offend him because Luo lightly blocked the well. It
could be said that he was the least hopeful one. As a result, he didn't expect
that the first person to come to Jinxia City was the Fang family monk.
"Probably somewhere in the city." Li grabbed the crushed ears on the top of
his head. "Listening to what he said, it seems that I don't intend to see you
so soon."
"Uh...what did he come here for? Isn't he looking for my revenge?"
"I don't think it is. If he has a grudge, he won't ask me to forward the
warning to you."
"That's right..." Xia Fan touched his chin, "Did he tell you anything else?"
"He said that leaving Jinxia City far away is the best policy. But if you
choose the worst-"
"Wait, is there no middle policy?"
Li poked his lips, "In his opinion, unless you stay away, everything else is
evil. If you don't leave, he will do his best to find an escape solution in
this coming storm."
"It's worthy of being a candidate in the same subject, this intention--"
"Fang Xiandao said it was not for you, but for himself." Li seemed to have
expected it, "If he can break this situation, he will surely make great
progress, and you will become his loyal admirer."
"..." Xia Fan didn't know what to pick up for a while, "the original words?"
Li nodded, "The original words. If you don't believe me, ask tengu."
Shan Hui shook his tail, "Wang. No...I mean, I can testify."
"Well, it's always here to help. If it really works, I can thank him a few
more times." Xia Fan said, "But then again, does Fang Shu have the idea of
breaking through barriers?"
"You can't say yes, but you can't say no."
"What's the solution?"
"This is a matter that varies from person to person. The belief that alchemy
arises from what you think and is confirmed by facts will in turn further
enhance the effect of the technique, which is also in line with the original
intent of free magic." Li Kankan And talking, "Sometimes the insights and
progress a warrior gains in desperate fights is far better than usual hard
training, which is similar. But this phenomenon has obvious effects on some
people, but it has little effect on others. "
It can only be said that things related to consciousness are not so easy to
figure out the rules, Xia Fan felt in his heart, after all, it is too
complicated to quantify a person's thoughts.
"Since Fang Xiandao raised the warning, we can't assume that we haven't heard
it. Let's discuss the countermeasures with the princess for tomorrow."
...
"This Fang... first, are his words credible?"
Like Xia Fan, Ning Wanjun's first reaction after hearing it was doubt.
Xia Fan wanted to stretch out three fingers, but when he thought of the
situation where the opponent was unbiased and smashed by himself in the battle
against the devil, he slowly retracted his two fingers.
"Puff......" Ning Wanjun couldn't help laughing. "It seems that you don't
believe in divination very much." After laughing, she shook her head, "If he
can give more detailed clues, then It is worthy of reference. It’s a pity that
I just withdrew my troops for ten miles based on the fact that there is a
disaster in the city. It’s a bit of a bit of a joke. Nothing I do is not
accompanied by risks. If I just want to take a stable road How can you shake
the giants in this world?"
Hearing this, Xia Fan seemed to see a heroic spirit in Princess Guangping that
was not commensurate with her age and figure.
"But this warning is not meaningless. It can at least make us act more
cautiously." Ning Wanjun stretched out her hand and pressed it on the map in
the center of the big account, and told Qiuyue, "Notify everyone to come over,
it's time to make tomorrow's battle. Plan it!"
...
Qiuyue unfolded a charcoal drawing in front of everyone, "Everyone, this is
the warship that Dongsheng Kingdom used to bombard the northern city wall."
The process of the meeting was exactly what Xia Fan had expected. After
solving the most critical "city closure crisis" and "rescue crisis", the focus
of the next battle naturally shifted to the invaders of the Dongsheng Kingdom.
The safest method of tactics is undoubtedly to fight the opponents street by
street, city by city, and destroy their vital power until they get a complete
victory. But because of the presence of warships, an area around the inland
wharf and the east city wall has become a restricted area for its own side.
Fighting with the enemy under the bombardment of artillery fire, this strategy
sounded very unwise, so finding a way to eliminate the threat of the warship
first became a plan that everyone agreed.
But when he saw the vivid charcoal drawing, Xia Fan was still taken aback,
"Isn't this... a sailing battleship?"
"Sailboat battleship?" Ning Wanjun answered immediately, "Have you seen it?"
"Uh... be it."
The princess seemed to believe immediately, "Let’s listen, can we deal with
it?"
"This kind of ship can sail across oceans. It is a large battleship specially
used to compete for ocean routes." He stared at the drawing paper and said,
but in his heart he was surprised at the thing itself-you must know that
sailing battleships are more than the pinnacle of wooden ships. , Or a sign of
the maturity of the artillery industry. For example, the three-tiered giant
ship of Dongsheng State has more than forty artillery ports on one side.
Without industry support, it would not be easy to get so many artillery pieces
together.
He originally thought that Dongsheng Kingdom had just sent a sailing ship
equipped with artillery, but he did not expect it to be such a mature thing.
Why did Princess Wu Yueyao never mention this matter?
"It’s two sides are the main firepower points~www.mtlnovel.com~ It would be a
very dangerous thing to approach this ship from the river bank. The bow and
stern of the ship are usually also equipped with artillery, but the number is
much smaller and usually accounts for A fraction of the total number of guns,
so attacking from the front and back would be a better choice."
"We have no ships available at all," Xu Sanzhong said with a solemn
expression. "There are only a handful of soldiers who know water."
"Can't mechanism beasts work?" Ning Wanjun asked.
"Unless it can accurately hit the area where ammunition is stacked inside the
ship," Xia Fan shook his head, "otherwise the damage caused is not enough to
capsize it."
If he can secretly hit hundreds of rounds, even a fist-sized solid shell can
cause fatal damage to the sail battleship. The problem is that the actual life
of the rails spliced by hand can last about three or four rounds, and the
high temperature generated by the arc will quickly weaken the integrity of the
track. In addition, even if there are enough copper tracks, he is not so angry
to use the improved streamer technique hundreds of times.
"I have an idea." Mo Yun suddenly said, "After the granary was captured today,
didn't the soldiers find two boxes of undetonated gunpowder from the scene?
Maybe I can use them to make booby mines that detonate by impact. He was
released and attacked the gunboat by surprise."
