"Night fights? Your Highness, where do we aim at night? ”

Before there were no night vision devices in the old world, night combat has always been a project with a high degree of difficulty, and although there is magic in the new world, it is better to wash and sleep early if it is said to be popularized to every soldier. Hearing this question, Luo Zhengdao smiled very mysteriously, shook his finger and said:

"No, we don't need to aim, we send reconnaissance planes to map and demarcate the firing area during the day, and at night the fleet arrives close to the coast to shell, and after firing the platoon of guns, we retreat."

The artillery of the new world has not yet developed to the stage of indirect aiming, and this situation is not accidental, and it is not that no one thought of this method, first of all, the hardware facilities do not cooperate. The breech-loaded gun fires stone shells, and there must be a certain gap between the barrel wall and the barrel wall, otherwise once the barrel inner wall is jammed, it will cause a serious explosion accident, and the consequences are unknown.

Due to the storage of the gap between the barrels, the gas leaked out of the deflagration of the stone pine powder, and the kinetic energy lost was needless to say, and the shells would also collide with the barrels during the firing process to produce irregular movements, and the flight trajectory after the discharge of the guns could not conform to the theoretical parabolic calculation conclusions, so people were generally accustomed to putting the enemy close and firing the cannons. In addition, everyone tends to shoot the cannonballs as accurately as possible, and aimlessly fire cannons in the hope that the gods will hit, which of course does not meet the psychological expectations of normal people!

Luo Zhengdao is good at using the cold knowledge of the old world to bully the natives of the new world who are less knowledgeable, what is this labor expedition for? Of course, it won't be to defeat Dongning, at least so far he doesn't have such a good appetite, and he can't digest the results of the battle and can't digest it, but it has become a burden, as long as this battle can make a big noise to offset the negative publicity of the goblins.

It is better to achieve a goal in one action, and the more you ask, the more difficult it is to implement, and it will often drag down the specific executor.

Knowing this, why does Luo Zhengdao care about the accuracy of the shelling, as long as the projection density of the shells is large enough and the coverage is relatively limited, there will always be a probability of hitting the target, anyway, he has this kind of method at hand without cost, why bother to rush up against the rain of bullets from the goblins?

The hazy night is the best protection for the weaker side. Umbrellas and allies, when the surrounding scenery is covered in night, the defenders who are suddenly attacked have no way of judging how many enemies are nearby and where they are killing from. The deep darkness in the field of vision will continue to amplify the fear of the unknown, which is the easiest way to shake the defender's psychological defenses.

"Day by day, day by day, day by day......"

"Tom! Tong! Tong! Tom ......"

Before the arrival of industrial civilization, there will be no luxury in the city to light street lamps to provide lighting public services, whether it is animal fat or vegetable oil is a scarce resource, when most of the members of the whole society are not easy to even see a little oil star in the meal, you actually take the oil to light the lamp, such a luxurious and wasteful act of death, are you not afraid of being caught by the rampaging masses to light the sky lantern? At this time, the originally pitch-black city of Dongning was ignited in an instant by falling rockets and blasting shells with a piercing scream and a low rumbling shell.

Expensive stone can be used to build walls, it is too difficult to build a roof with stone, usually the buildings of the New World use stone dome structure, this kind of complex technology content is only applied to large public facilities such as temples, such architectural skills are too high-end for ordinary people's lives, ordinary houses tend to take a more trouble-free way. For example, by using timber to make brackets and cover them with tiles, families with more financial constraints simply resorted to thatched roofs and adobe walls to solve their building problems.

The main continent fell to the boots of the goblin army, the flowery city of Dongning was brutally cleaned up by the conquerors, and the aborigines of the human race were driven out of their homes and reduced to slavery.

Although there is no trace of human beings in Dongning City, the houses are still left by them, and considering the fact that there are always more poor people than rich people at any time, the number of thatched houses in Dongning City is more than people think.

The goblin garrison and the families who migrated to Dongning with the army were about 500,000, which was much worse than the huge size of the city, which was once crowded with a permanent population of more than 2 million, and the foreign conquerors had neither the need nor the extra energy to renovate all the houses according to the goblin habits, which left a heavy fire hazard, and the vacant and dilapidated thatched huts were now burning under the barrage of bombardment that fell and exploded like a meteor shower. The raging fires spread inland as the sea breeze blows, and the burning ashes that have been blown up by the wind fall on the city that has not yet caught fire, and if it comes into contact with flammable materials, it will ignite new fires, and the fire will exhaust the goblin army trying to extinguish it.

The speed and scale of this urban fire was far beyond the imagination of both the attackers and the defenders, and the pirates on the battleships on the sea couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and their eyes were stunned as they stared blankly at the huge fire field that reflected the night sky as a red color, this scene was a terrifying purgatory that they could never have imagined.

"The ironclad ships continue to bombard Dongning, and the other warships turn to attack Canal City."

Luo Zhengdao thought that Dongning was an iron walnut that couldn't be smashed with a sledgehammer, but he really understood that as long as the method was correct, the so-called Jiancheng was just an eggshell that could be broken with a pinch.

In addition to being deeply happy, Luo Zhengdao also gave birth to a different kind of vigilance, success comes too easily and often leads to paralysis and carelessness, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and it is never uncommon for unlucky ghosts to fall in front of the finish line

"Bastard, who did that? Yaling? Genie? Or a pirate? ”

Looking at the scorched black ruins with smoke and the scorched rubble still hot under his feet, Modo Heishui, who rushed to the rescue after receiving the warning from the training base in the upper reaches of the river, couldn't believe his eyes, was this still Dongning City, which was known as a fortress that never fell.

The Grand Canal City on the other side of the river was in even worse condition than the ruined Dongning, where a large number of stockpiles and weapons and ammunition were looted by unidentified enemies, and the rest was set on fire by the attackers. The most unacceptable thing for the big goblin commander was that the dazed goblin defenders were stunned to figure out who had given them a blow to the head last night, only knowing that the enemy had attacked from the sea at night and retreated before the light of day, leaving no trace of recourse.

None of the elite soldiers who had seen the enemy's true face could come back alive to report the situation, and the soldiers who survived were also confused, and they couldn't tell who they had fought with, and they didn't know who had done this big case after a long time, isn't this ridiculous?

Accepting the internal punishment decision issued by the military department, and running to train new recruits in disgrace, Modo Heishui, who was already guilty, naturally did not need to be responsible for the tragedy that happened in Dongning Fortress. In fact, it is willing to be responsible and does not have the qualifications to take responsibility, but the sense of honor of the military makes the big goblin commander feel disgraced. The important military port that is heavily guarded by their own family is used as a mat, people come when they want to, and leave when they want, leaving only a mess behind them.

After calming down his excitement a little, Modo Blackwater turned to the goblin officer who was temporarily in charge of the reception and asked:

"What about the loss of the garrison fleet in the town guard mansion?"

The subject of the question, who was originally a wing commander of the Dongning garrison and belonged to the Goblin Army, was not familiar with the situation in the navy, and replied:

"I don't know, after the port caught fire, His Excellency Marshal Green Lake ordered to disperse and break through, we don't know where the fleet is!"

The Great Goblin Commander was so annoyed by the result of his ignorance that he looked at each other in embarrassment, then stroked his forehead in frustration, shook his head, and said:

"Oh, damn it, I knew it was going to be like this."

At this point, sighing and sighing can't change the defeat, after thinking for a while, Modo Blackwater spoke:

"Who is the supreme governor of Dongning now?"

The whereabouts of his boss, Todd Green Lake, are unknown, and the Goblin Captain is honest:

"By rank, it should be you, Your Excellency Commander."

I didn't expect the trouble of cleaning up the mess to end up on my turn, and although I didn't like this hot potato, the big goblin commander took the mess very responsibly, and after looking around, he sighed and said:

“…… All right! Ordered to rectify order in the city, tear down the houses and establish a separation zone, and remove all fire hazards. ”

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in Modo Blackwater's mind, and then it shook its head. The hairy monkeys are competing in the Sheen River Delta, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the distant Dongning!

When the goblins were busy dealing with the aftermath, Luo Zhengdao, who had retreated to a desert island to anchor and repair, and his subordinates were preparing for the second wave of attacks, it was right to do good deeds without leaving a name, but they were here to do bad things, and they wanted to be famous very much, although the battle last night was too clean and neat, but it failed to achieve the strategic goal, so it was not good to go up and make up for it again.

"Your Highness, the goblins will definitely be on guard tonight, and if they attack according to the original plan, is it too risky?"

Brando Scarlet's worries can't be said to be groundless, Luo Zhengdao also has his own arguments, shaking his head to show that he doesn't agree with this statement, he smiled playfully, and said:

"You know as well as I do how arrogant and conceited those greenskins are, and after last night's attack, they must have strengthened the defenses of Dongning, and they will not think that the enemy will come back to invade and provoke at this time. I think they're sending scout ships around searching for traces left by our retreat last night, and if you can't even think of attacking Dongning the next night, how can the goblins think of it? ”

When the night fell again, and the dark coastline once again became the target of the pirate fleet, Luo Zhengdao determined through the monoculars that the lights in Dongning Port were the goblin garrison fleet that had escaped last night, he put down the guy in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Send a signal to launch a full-scale attack, this time with the ironclad as the main force of the assault, we want to destroy the goblin fleet stationed in Dongning."

"Woo-woo! Boom ......"

The heavy fire projected by the 110-pounder guns of the ironclad ship. The incendiary bomb played the role of pointing out the direction of the calibration, and then the entire fleet was aimed at the coastline and bombarded indiscriminately, and on the earth-shattering scale of the war, even the dead in the grave should be woken up.
