Chapter 699: "naval battle"

"What it is?"

Joe is just frowning. A few days ago, this sea area was still empty, but now

such a thing has appeared, indicating that it is a movable object. But it took

an hour and a half on the road, and the thing was still floating far away, and

its speed was probably not as fast as windsurfing.

"Master Hui," the staff officer on the side handed his hands. "The information

sent back from Jinxia shows that there is a group of long-eared monsters

living on a floating island made of trees. The locals call them tree boats,

but they are actually more It's like a small sea reef. I suspect that this

thing is something sent by the Jinxia people."

"The enemy from Jinxia..." Qiao Zhenggang showed a contemplative look. He was

a bloodthirsty and a bloodthirsty, but he was not a foolish man, otherwise it

would be impossible to climb all the way to the guard position. The people of

the country did not have the ability to resist, so naturally they could rub it

any way, but Jin Xia was different-it defeated the powerful enemy of the

Shangyuan Privy Council. "If I understand correctly, it is actually a huge

troop carrier?"

"It is not mentioned in the intelligence that it is armed." The staff shook

his head. "But the tree boat can transport troops and can naturally transport

weapons. Generally, artillery is the most taboo against unstable bottom plate.

If it can stand on this surprisingly large floating island, I am afraid that

the power and accuracy can be maintained at a very high level."

Cannon...

It is indeed mentioned in the intelligence that Jin Xia has studied firearms

deeply, and the source is that traitors have emerged in the mechanization

bureau, which has made the level of organ skills of this group of conspirators

advanced by leaps and bounds. In the battle with the Shangyuan Privy Council,

the artillery support provided by the inland river fleet put considerable

pressure on the alchemists, not to mention the bipedal beasts that can carry

cannons over the mountains.

"In this way, we should wait for work at ease and wait for them to get close

to the dock before pinching it." Qiao Zhenggang muttered. If you think that

Qixing has not learned a lesson from intelligence, it is undoubtedly a big

mistake. In the final analysis, Xu Guo also has a family of mechanics no less

than the Mohist school, and it was predicted that Jin Xia would not allow the

Seven Stars to enter Qi Guo. The camp in front of him stretched out for ten

miles and was set up to meet the enemy.

It is not only a landing site, but also a barrier carefully constructed by the

Seven Star Privy Council.

"My lord is wise. Our ships are weak and the firearms carried are only a

handful. Avoiding the edge is the most correct choice." The staff concurred.

"Send the order to raise the tent," Qiao Zhenggang ordered, "Let the generals

take my tent and take orders, and the whole army is ready to receive the

enemy!"

...

At this time, Noah's canoe is also slowly approaching the harbor coast.

Since the blockade plan was approved by Mo Yun, Jinxia City immediately took

action, prepared for half a month, and set off for half a month. Until the end

of August, the tree boat that restarted its voyage finally crossed Gyeongju

and arrived at the planned battlefield all the way north.

This plan is based on World Island Elves, supplemented by alchemists such as

Qian and Yan Qing. The primary purpose is to cut off the transportation line

of the Seven Stars so that the opponent cannot gather troops so smoothly, and

at the same time, eliminate the ships on the sea as much as possible and

weaken the opponent's supply capacity. .

With the blessing of the new batch of binoculars, Jinxia and her team can

clearly observe the movement of the shore.

The High Priest of Sania loves this thing very much-the change from single

tube to double tube not only significantly expands the field of view, but also

can flexibly adjust the distance of the gaze through a knob, and its clarity

has also been improved to an unprecedented level. Even if it was a few miles

away, it was possible to catch the small piece of mast rising from the surface

of the sea.

This is of great significance to the elves who deal with the sea all year

round.

If it were not for the limited production of the new batch of lookout glasses,

the exchange price was set quite high, she really wanted to equip each of her

colleagues with one.

"They found us." Yan Qing slowly moved his eyes.

The overseer is using a whip to drive the laborers to carry the materials

stacked on the side of the pier, and the soldiers are also moving backward in

an orderly manner. Those ships docked on the shore hurriedly lifted their

sails and left the port, heading northward, meaning to give up shore defense

and give up the wharf.

is not unexpectedly discovered by the enemy in advance.

The tree boat is basically the same as a hill. Its towering outline makes it

not concealed at all. In addition, the speed of navigation is limited, and the

bureau has no intention of raiding the enemy from the beginning.

"It seems that they want to lead the emperor into the urn." Kong Xuanzi

agreed, "Look at the foot of the cliff in the north."

Everyone looked at it, and saw a huge man-made object half hidden in the

woods. At first glance, it looked a bit like a lying cow made of wood, but its

head was made of metal, which was obviously not for its beautiful appearance.

make.

Soon, a few more lying cows were found.

They are all about a hundred feet long, and they are as tall as two or three

adults. It is almost impossible to move them to every corner of the camp by

human transport alone.

"I'm afraid these are all organ beasts." Yan Qing judged.

"Eight or nine out of ten." Gan nodded, "If this thing collides with Xuanwu,

let alone what means it uses to attack, the iron head alone is enough to block

Xuanwu's shelling."

After staying in Jinxia for a while, Yui has a new understanding of the city's

strength.

He never thought that complex metal parts could be produced continuously in a

blink of an eye and assembled on a continuously sliding conveyor belt. It was

not until he confirmed it with his own eyes that he realized how amazing it is

to knead metal at will and press it into various required shapes.

Relying on these new weapons, even ordinary people who have just joined the

army can pose a threat to high-level alchemists. UU reading www. Even if

uukanshu.com mastered a lot of defensive skills, it would be difficult to

parry in the face of an overwhelming number of people and firepower.

The failure of the Privy Council is not entirely to blame for Ning Qianshi and

Feinian.

It is not an accidental coincidence.

Even if you play against each other ten times a hundred times, the ending will

not change much.

This makes Qian gradually get into the habit of Jinxia. When fighting an

enemy, the first thing he thinks of is no longer how to approach the opponent

and use his ability and experience to defeat the opponent, but first rely on

the range and firepower to take advantage of it. Try not to endure as much as

possible, and it is best to win with "soldiers without blood".

For example, the organ beast in front of him, he subconsciously considers

whether the artillery can break the defense.

"There is also a situation in the northern waters." Sainia reminded, "They

seem to be preparing an assault boat."

Not only that, everyone also noticed that the boat was full of various bottles

and cans.

There is no doubt that the contents must be flammable, either sulfur saltpeter

or grease.

After all, fire attack has always been an effective method against large

ships.

And the tree boat is indeed afraid of starting a fire.

"They probably wanted to wait until the tree boat docked and hit us at Bandu."

Yan Qing put down the observation mirror and shook his head regretfully,

"Unfortunately we have no plans to fight on land. Your High Priest, next. It's

up to you."

Sainia beckoned, and motioned to Ai Li and others in the distance to take off

the rain-proof cannon jackets, "I also want to give it a try. How does the new

weapon of the IAAC perform in actual combat."
