Chapter 552: Preparing to Go to Sea
The state will not be stingy in the aspect of external defense, so weapons are developing rapidly, as long as people can come up with them, someone will make them, only the unthinkable, nothing can be done. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, puppets that can be manipulated by humans, small ones are called puppets, and large ones are called puppets.
Cold weapons include repeating crossbows that can be fired continuously, large crossbow beds, crossbow machines, artillery, and small ones that are used as hidden weapons, called rainstorm pear flower needles.
The invention of the naval warship played a very important role in coastal defense and land defense, and the naval army was precisely what the Liao State and Tubo did not have, so the Great Song Dynasty attached great importance to the development of the naval army, and the Song Dynasty produced a large number of skilled craftsmen, the naval warship was huge, relying on wind or manpower to drive, and the battleship was equipped with crossbow machines and artillery.
There is only one battleship moored on the Songjiang Military Wharf, which is the one that Zong Baokai went to sea last time, but the repair has just been completed, there are more than 20 medium-sized gunboats, countless small boats used for transportation or first aid, and large and small ships are inspected by naval generals in the port.
With the development of maritime transportation, piracy also became rampant, but these pirates fled when they encountered naval warships.
Ji Zhentao personally took Zong Baokai and Wen Ruzhu to board the largest main ship, and Wen Ruzhu secretly left a large amount of fluorite powder on the top of the cabin, which was treated to shine in the dark.
In the sky, the dulcimer rode a cloud eagle and looked down on the ships below, noting the location of the ships, the watchtowers and the patrol boats.
That night, Zong Baokai invited Ji Zhentao to Suzhou for a banquet, but he refused, Zong Baokai said: "Then I will have a banquet for the marshal in the restaurant in Songjiang County, which can be regarded as my heart with Miss Wen!" ”
Ji Zhentao had no choice but to agree, and he also led several important naval generals to go with him.
When he was approaching, Dong Jihong led the Tianshan Sect and the disciples of the Beggar Gang to sneak into the military dock and began to steal the warship.
Xiuzhen Dao Chang, Xu Jie, and Lou Siwei led the men of this operation to a hidden dock outside Songjiang County, transported food, rattan balls, and wooden people to a commercial sailboat, and then quietly went out to sea on a sailboat, and then anchored on Yuhai Island, that is, the small island where they caught up with Lien.
The sailors in the port were quickly put down by the disciples of the Tianshan Mountains and the Beggar Gang, Dong Jihong led Zhu Zi, Wenping, Jizong and others to board the ship, put away the iron anchor, raised the sails, adjusted the direction, and quietly sailed out of the dock.
They stole a main ship, two medium-sized warships and several small boats, and had entered the East China Sea after dawn, and rushed to meet Xu Jie and others outside Yuhai Island.
The naval warship raised its sails, ate enough of the wind, and sailed towards Xuanwu Island at full speed.
Everyone on the battleship was nervous, and the cultivator gathered everyone and began to elaborate on the plan of action.
They deliberately lowered the iron anchor outside Xuanwu Island, lowered the sails, and waited until after dark, Zong Baokai and Zhao Jiulong, Jiang Shiyuan stayed on the battleship to respond, Xu Jie and Xiuzhen Dao led a pair of men and horses to take two gunboats to Xuanwu Island and quietly approached.
The island was silent, Dong Jihong took Xu Jie, the cultivator of the Dao to perform a high-level retreat, quietly landed on the island, the first two were responsible for protecting him, the cultivator immediately cast a spell, and used the Yuan Shen out of the body to search for Xuanwu Island.
The animals on Xuanwu Island have recovered after more than a month, but these naughty monkeys are hiding in the trees and dare not mess around.
The fanged giant bat perched on the bate-infested cliff, this guy did not sleep, but wandered around, the Yuan Shen of the Cultivator Dao was busy dodging far away, and followed the road to the crocodile-infested beach, and the long-toothed crocodile was lying in the waterhole to perch.
The Yuan Shen of the Cultivator continued to float along the beach in the direction of the Holy Beast Mountain, and when he passed the crater, he saw the green poisonous frogs wandering back and forth in the pond water.
Qiqi chases these beasts in the saber-toothed tiger gathering area, and a black gorilla is torn apart by him.
On the stone bridge at the entrance to the Holy Beast Mountain, the flames of the whole body were lying on the bridge deck and sleeping.
The Daoist Yuan Shen flew up directly from the side, entered the Holy Beast Mountain, and saw that the gluttonous and chaotic was wandering on the hillside, chasing these newborn horses and stegosaurus from time to time.
A faint light appeared on the top of the Holy Beast Mountain, and the Daoist Yuan Shen quickly rushed to it, and saw a large golden treasure chest on the stone platform on the top of the mountain, but he had no entity, so he couldn't open the treasure chest to inspect the contents inside, and it was important to find Lien first.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the Blazing Dragon leap up from the bottom of the cliff, pounce on the treasure chest, and coil on top of it.
And in the swamp below the cliff, the Blue Flame Loach Demon raised its head and quickly burrowed into the swamp.
The mountain wind was gusting, the owls and crows were constantly crying, and an ominous premonition arose, and I wondered if Ryan was still alive?
There was no one in the cave where Rien was hiding before, and the Yuan Shen of the Cultivator Dao was wandering around the Holy Beast Mountain, and since he couldn't find anyone, he managed to enter Rien's dream territory.
However, the Yuan Shen of the Cultivator did not see Rien himself, and he could not enter the realm of the other party's dream, there are only two possibilities, one is that Rien is dead, and the other is that Rien did not sleep, but hid. If you can't find out where Rien is hiding, you can't go to war to rescue him.
The night passed quickly, and the Taoist Yuanshen hurriedly returned to the dock and returned to the main body.
Seeing that he opened his eyes, Xu Jie immediately asked, "How is it?" Have you met the Alliance Leader? ”
The cultivator shook his head and said, "Poor Dao has already found out the location of these ten fierce beasts, but he has not seen the alliance leader, and he cannot enter the dream territory of the alliance leader. ”
Xu Jie had no choice but to propose to retreat into the battleship first, otherwise he would be detected by these fierce beasts if he stayed near Xuanwu Island during the day.
After Dong Jihong woke up, he immediately hid for the two companions, and they drove their respective mounts to return to the main ship in the sea.
Ryan was actually on Xuanwu Island, but after nightfall he drove the koi into the sea to look for food, sent the food back to the cave before dawn, and then came out to entangle with these fierce beasts, so that these fierce beasts would stay on Xuanwu Island and would not go out to sea to harm others.
Back on the battleship, everyone listened to the report of the cultivator, and Zheng Lifeng asked: "Do you think that the alliance leader will not be able to support it and has already died, after all, the alliance leader has been besieged on Xuanwu Island by ten fierce beasts for almost two months!" ”
Yi Sanxi immediately said: "No, the alliance leader has experienced so many dangers and is fine, and this time it will be fine, besides, didn't the alliance leader himself say it?" These beasts can't hurt him, and he can't hurt these beasts! ”
Xiuzhen Dao said: "Don't worry, everyone, Poor Dao will continue to land on the island tonight to search for the whereabouts of the alliance leader, and we can only take action if we contact the alliance leader!" ”
Yu Yan said: "Otherwise, if we give birth to a pile of wolf smoke on the deck to send a message, the alliance leader will go to the Xuanwu Island dock to wait after seeing it." ”
Xu Jie immediately stopped: "No, this wolf smoke can not only be seen by the alliance leader, but also by the fierce beasts on the island, if these fierce beasts rush to attack us when they hear the news, we will be wiped out!" ”
You Xueliang reminded them: "We have to hurry, this warship can't stay here for a long time, and the food we carry can't last long!" (To be continued.) )
