Putting aside the situation in peacetime, Dongning has always been an unfortunate place with many disasters and difficulties in a state of war, and there is an old Chinese saying that the husband is innocent and guilty, and Dongning fully meets the criteria of this innocent lying gun.

Relying on the convenient water transportation conditions of the river and the coast and the surrounding grain producing areas, such a unique geographical advantage makes the city of Dongning have huge development potential and strategic value, not to mention the new Grand Canal City on the other side of the river, which is a strategic hub, so the river delta has become the first unlucky ghost under the guns of the main continent of human counter-attack.

In recent years, it has been repeatedly damaged by wars and repeatedly attacked by pirate groups led by Luo Zhengdao, but the rich resources of the Great River Basin are still enough to support the post-war reconstruction of Dongning, especially since the goblins began to focus on promoting the Xingchen Sea Migration Plan, Dongning has become one of the most important entrepot ports in the eastern part of the main continent. The number of goblin civilians and troops who temporarily inhabited here alone added up to no less than two million, more than the inhabitants of almost all other cities in the east.

Luo Zhengdao led the army to make a comeback this time, and when he saw the city scene from the artillery mirror, it was still prosperous, and he couldn't find the slightest trace of the destruction that had been baptized by the war.

has lived in the new world for a long time, and Luo Zhengdao, who has gradually identified with this world, can't help but sigh in his heart, this is the rhythm of Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flying into the homes of ordinary people in the old days!

"Say hi to our old friends and tell them that the humans are back, and it's up to you, Brando."

"Please wait for my good news, Your Majesty."

When any organization grows to a certain scale, it is unrealistic to do everything personally, and it has to be trade-off. For example, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era of the old world monopolized power, personally mastered all affairs, regardless of the details, and finally exhausted his body, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Baba was afraid that the imperial power would fall, so he simply abolished the position of prime minister, and dealt with official affairs until late at night every day. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty set the emperor in the air, and Emperor Chongzhen said that he was not a dead country. Zhijun, this can't be regarded as a quibble, the Ming Dynasty is completely controlled by the civil system, what the emperor says doesn't count, no matter how good the scriptures he writes meet a group of crooked monks, the ending will not be better.

Luo Zhengdao only gave a general direction, and the rest of the details were left to Brando Scarlet Flame's free play, so that the ruling order within the organization was straightened out. Do you sit in a row and eat fruit and applaud together?

"Attention the whole fleet! Attention the whole fleet! I am the Scarlet Commander, and now I order to begin the fire preparation before the landing, and report back when the ships are ready to take position. ”

It didn't take long for the Titan's communication station to be lively, and the communication soldiers got up one after another to report:

"Report, fire support ship formation attack formation has been deployed, request instructions."

"Report, the ironclad detachment has completed preparations for the shelling, request instructions."

After listening to the report, Brando Scarlet turned his head to look at Luo Zhengdao, who waved his hand at him, which means that you have done it well, so Commander Scarlet Yan looked ahead and said:

"Order the signalmen to fire three red flares, and the whole fleet to fire one base ammunition at a rapid pace."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

The capital ship sequence of the Bright Kingdom Navy has completely eliminated the wooden sail battleship, which is unique in the new world, no matter how awesome the high-level battleships of the Yaling Royal Navy and the Elven Federation Navy are, from ironclad ships to all-steel keel armored warships is the right direction for the future development of the navy. With this model, you can continue to innovate and build larger and more powerful warships, no longer limited by the limits of the wood. Although the New World enchantment and alchemy techniques can enhance the structural strength and other properties of the hull, in terms of cost performance, the cost of enchantment far exceeds that of an all-metal battleship, and the larger the ship, the more significant the price advantage.

The cost of building a single ship of the first class battleship of the Yaling Empire is about one-third higher than that of the Titan, and the actual combat effectiveness is comparable, which clarifies a truth, and the same amount of military expenditure can obtain one-third more troops than the opponent.

Needless to say, in the standard battle line battle line of capital ships, one-third of the numerical advantage is too great to ignore Cheng Dù, if it were not for Luo Zhengdao's strict restrictions on the outflow of relevant information from the Titan, it is estimated that the navies of the great powers would have followed suit and started to build steel-armored warships equipped with full heavy guns.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

"Fight back! We have to fight back! ”

With the roar and vibration of the shell explosion, dust continued to fall from the cracks of the bunker overhead, and the scene of dust flying in the room was as if someone was constantly throwing sand down. Marshal Todd Greenlake's shouts sounded like a lot of lust and inwardness to the subordinates around him, and you said to fight back, just fight back? It's so light-hearted, what to fight back? By the mouth of the cannon?

After several defensive strengthenings, the firepower of the batteries around Dongning was still inevitably dumbfounded by the first round of long-range firepower, which was also a matter of no choice, and the two sides were not a heavyweight opponent at all.

The 120-pound main gun equipped with the new capital ship Titan has greatly improved its accuracy and power compared with the 110-pound main gun in the ironclad era, and one of the most significant features is the increase in the double diameter of the gun barrel, so the ratio of the turret and the gun barrel is much more coordinated, looking slender and slender, no longer like an iron turtle.

The Titan, whose performance is beyond imagination in all aspects, can accurately knock out local fire points beyond the maximum range of the shore-based battery, and kill those stubborn goblin artillery by name, which is completely a posture of bullying people to the death, and beating the goblins out of temper.

Most of the goblin batteries that survived the overwhelming artillery fire of the human fleet were in a concealed arrangement, hidden deep in the cracks of cliffs and rocks, and it was difficult for them to blow up the mountain to destroy these batteries even if they were fiercely fired, although their defense was much better than that of the open-air type, but the angle of fire was also small and speechless. If the human fleet does not take the initiative to approach after a while, these remaining goblin batteries will only listen to the sound of fire in vain, and there is really no other use for it except to expose their own location and waste ammunition.

The subordinates could not be brutalized by their superiors, and a goblin staff officer dissuaded:

"Your Excellency, Marshal, please consider carefully."

Todd Green Lake, who was already angry, slapped his hand on the table in anger, almost breaking his own hand, and scolded angrily:

"Bastard, do you want me to run away?"

In his heart, he was more inclined to this realistic choice, and the goblin staff officer was not short of eyes, so he would take the initiative to buckle the coward's hat on his head, and immediately bowed and said:

"Well, my subordinates don't have that idea."

At this time, the almost insane goblin marshal glared at his subordinates with wide eyes, and said sharply:

"I know, you're scared, you're scared of that nothing. Hairy Monkey, you've lost your honor as a goblin warrior and you're just thinking about escaping, aren't you? You cowards, cowards! I'm going to ......"

"Boom-"

Before Todd Greenlake could finish speaking, another heavy shell landed directly above the bunker of the headquarters, and as the explosion exploded, the ceiling above the goblins shook violently, raining down countless dust and ashes, and the goblins had to cover their mouths and noses to avoid inhaling the foreign objects. This unexpected turn of events interrupted Todd Green Lake's hysterical ranting and invective, and his subordinates breathed a sigh of relief that their own goblin marshal was getting worse and harder to serve. It's lost a lot of battles with humans, and its ability hasn't grown at all, and its temper is getting more and more irritable, and at some times it's simply unreasonable!

"Your Excellency Marshal, did we order the evacuation of civilians?"

"Well, why didn't you evacuate?"

As soon as he heard this, all the subordinates present were drunk, Your Excellency Marshal, how dare we go beyond the box if you don't give an order! The problem is that they know that this is the case, but they can't say this, so the goblins have to pinch their noses and deliberately discredit themselves and say:

"Ahh It's because we forgot about it. ”

Todd Green Lake, who seems to be always right, crossed his waist with one hand and scolded angrily:

"Evacuate civilians immediately! You fools! ”

Migration is a huge project that costs people and money, it takes years and months to mention, and the huge amount of expenses is expected, and the most important thing is that the relocation efficiency is so low that people are scared to death, and the speed is comparable to that of a turtle and snail.

Anyone who has moved knows that no matter how ordinary the family relocation is, it is also a heavy job that can exhaust people, don't look at the messy belongings in the house is inconspicuous, and you will know how much there is if you want to pack it and take it away. The situation of human beings is like this, and the goblins who are accustomed to living a hard life will only pay more attention to their property, and the goblin immigrants gathered in Dongning will become frightened birds the moment the cannon fires.

Although the organization of the goblin society is strong, each goblin tribe is established according to the military system, the problem is that after the large-scale migration began, this originally well-functioning traditional social order was broken, and at this time, driven by the herd mentality, the goblin civilians in Dongning City also fell into a state of extreme chaos.

"Woo-boom......"

The heavy artillery of the old world can blow up the land equivalent to the area of several basketball courts into craters with a single shot, and a salvo of twice as powerful and ferocious rocket artillery can leave chickens and dogs in several places the size of football fields, although these weapons in Luo Zhengdao's new world cottage are not as brutal as those in the old world, they are also not vegetarians. An explosive bomb fired by the Titan landed impartially near a military camp in Dongning City, and instead of hitting a military installation, the shell exploded the nearby family area. In an instant, a huge ball of fire rose from the ground, and a strong flame storm swept every inch of land within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Under the thick morning fog, the vision conditions were poor, the pirate fighters could not take to the air to reconnoitre, there was no long-distance correction of the observation conditions of the projectile impact point, and they could only blindly shell according to the pre-calibrated target position, such bombing could not achieve the best effect, compared with the huge attack intensity, the meaning of intimidating the Dongning goblin defenders seemed to be more.

"Open the gates and let us out!"

A large number of goblin civilians gathered near the city gates, shouting and demanding to escape from the city that had been baptized by the rain of steel and fire, but the goblin army guarding the gates refused to let go of the blockade as they wished, and a goblin officer shouted and cursed:

"Shut up, you are not allowed to open the door before dawn without an order from the town guard."
