Trying to kill a bear with a rabbit trap at any time and place is an unrealistic idiotic idea. However, the goblin, who has always been shrewd and capable, chose to do so, and it is really difficult to figure out what the rationality is, and if the outcome of the incident is a tragedy, it can only be said that it is not expected.

With the help of the efficient aerial reconnaissance capabilities provided by the pirate fighters, the deployment of the goblin army and the possible strategic intentions were preliminarily judged, but Luo Zhengdao became more and more unclear about the enemy's strategic layout, so could it be that these green skins were deliberately releasing water to make him laugh?

If something is abnormal, it is a demon! The goblins' behavior is really demonic, and the demons are extraordinary, and even Luo Zhengdao can't guess their calculations. Since he couldn't see the intention of the opponent's strange and inexplicable layout techniques, he immediately raised his already not low vigilance again, and was ready to deal with the unforeseen situation. Luo Zhengdao did not choose to squat in place and wait for the goblin to make a move, the control of the Chishui River was still in the hands of the pirates, and once the offensive operation was blocked, he would immediately order a retreat. The Goblin Chishui Garrison Fleet, which had not been seen since the beginning of the battle, was determined to be unable to stop the shallow gunboats of the Restoration Army from going down the river, and in any case, it was true that Shuye specialized in it.

At the same time, the shallow gunboats with shallow draft and heavy firepower characteristics were originally specially designed special warships to better adapt to internal water operations, and naval warships with stronger comprehensive performance could hardly bargain when encountering shallow gunboats in the inland water environment, and if they did not do well, they would trap themselves in the shallow shoals and be unable to move.

"Report, Goblin ...... Found"

The crystal communicator in the command tower flickered with the voice of the pilot of the reconnaissance plane, and then the communication suddenly stopped, and after repeated tests to determine that it was not an instrument failure, the signal soldier in front of the seat turned back to Brando Scarlet and said:

"Your Excellency Commander, the contact of the No. 6 reconnaissance aircraft has been interrupted, probably by enemy fire."

Hearing this, he looked at Luo Zhengdao, who didn't say anything special, and Brando Scarlet Yan nodded in response:

"Send a nearby reconnaissance plane to take over its mission and inform the fleet to prepare for the return voyage."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

Luo Zhengdao smacked the taste, and vaguely felt in his heart that this was not a good sign, and he said to Brando:

"Send a signal! Tell Zola's marines to shrink to the vicinity of the river bank, and send a dinghy to meet them as far as they can. ”

After a while, the signal for retreat was seen from the signal flag waved quickly by the surface ship, and the boatswain, who had just opened the situation, was stunned for a moment, then threw off his hat in anger and said with a curse:

"It's really seeing the undead, we're about to win, and now you want me to retreat?"

The offensive was abruptly halted, and Zola Hegel, who had failed to complain, obeyed the order, and retreated with his men to the banks of the Chishui River, where they waited for landing craft and sampans to transport them back to the ship, which was impossible to moor on the alluvial bank of the sediment-based river.

The so-called good attackers move above the nine heavens, the strategic mobility of the air force is the strongest, the army without mechanized equipment to travel dozens of kilometers in one breath has to rest, one of the strongest arms in the old world cold weapon era, the Mongolian cavalry, which is known for its long-distance marching, has also reached its physiological limit of forcibly marching 200 li in a day and night. For the air cavalry of the New World, without considering the logistics and supply, the distance of thousands of miles in a strategic maneuver is within the scope of ability, but after a long distance movement, the extremely hungry flying monsters must be replenished with a large amount of fresh meat, otherwise they will not have the body to fight again.

"Report, fast-moving target found in the port side twenty degrees!"

Pacing back and forth anxiously, Luo Zhengdao snatched the large artillery mirror when he heard the sound, he brought the eyepiece in front of him, and soon a high-speed moving black dot appeared in the field of vision. Luo Zhengdao's fingers trembled slightly and rotated to adjust the focal length, and the image in the telescope became clearer and clearer, and he muttered:

"Goblin Sky Cavalry? No wonder the reconnaissance aircraft disappeared. ”

Back in a fantasy world. Under the scene, the name of the strongest air cavalry is none other than the dragon knight, not to mention that the dragon clan in the new world was originally in a state of seclusion, and they did not come out to move their muscles and bones for hundreds of years in their spare time, which was a standard house creature. These big reptiles that have the ability to slaughter cities by themselves when they grow to adulthood are not beasts that can be domesticated by casual capture, if you want to ride on the proud dragon to show off your might, it is better to touch your own head first!

Although the dragon knight is purely a product of YY's fantasy, there are some opportunities to make the dragoons, the dragon clan was injured by the degeneration curse of the derogation of the gods, and even the fecundity of the pure-blood dragon clan is speechless, and this excess desire is vented to the alien race.

Perhaps to confirm the accuracy of the old proverb "dragons are inherently promiscuous", there are hardly any species in the New World that have not interbred with dragons, and even among humans there are so-called dragons. The myriad of wurms is a great wonder of the New World biological world, and the dragons provide a wealth of research material for the tireless naturalists! Among these renovated wurms, there are more than 20 types of wurms with flying ability, most of which are similar to pseudo-dragons and are not suitable for riding, among which there are about three or four mounts that can be domesticated, and these flying wurms with dragon blood are undoubtedly the most top-notch air cavalry mounts.

This air cavalry unit sent by the goblins, the forward force at the head is a thousand Yalong air cavalry, no matter how lonely Luo Zhengdao was earlier, now he is also the master of a party, of course he knows how difficult this kind of difficult mount is to cultivate. Looking at this posture, shouldn't the goblin military department send out half of the Wulong Air Cavalry under its command, this Nima really wants to smash the rhythm of selling iron!

"Anti-aircraft fire readiness!"

Seeing the development of the situation clearly, Commander Brando Scarlet Yan assigned air defense tasks to the fleet, and then he turned back to Luo Zhengdao and said:

"Your Majesty, please do not leave the confines of the Command Tower."

Drawing on the successful experience of the Corsair Ironclad, the defense of the shallow gunboat focuses on protecting the power plant and gun deck, and then there are key departments such as the conning tower. In response to Brando's reminder, Luo Zhengdao nodded and said that he knew that he would not run to the deck to block his subordinates when the enemy's air power was about to attack.

The pirate fighters are cheap to build and the operation is not complicated, but due to the speed constraints of the trained pilots, it is difficult to muster enough numbers to compete head-on with the goblin air cavalry for regional air supremacy. In view of this, the air defense problem faced by the pirate fleet became more and more urgent, and at the initiative of Luo Zhengdao, most of the old warships were modified with weapon systems and gun emplacement brackets on the upper deck. The new shallow water gunboats have been designed with ample room for improvement, and even if they are not specially strengthened, they have excellent anti-aircraft combat power. At this moment, as many as eight twin-mounted one-pound guns and thirty-two half-pound guns together formed an anti-aircraft fire network that intertwined over the fleet, forming a death fire net in an instant.

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

The rapid firing sound characteristic of the integrated ammunition became a loud sound, as if the entire red water was boiling, and thousands of guns were fired wildly at the goblin air cavalry that was diving. The density of the instantaneous projected fire was so dense that it was doubtful that bullets or shells would collide in the air, but even then it could not stop the bombing of the Goblin Sky Cavalry.

To be sure, the Second Goblin Empire was not as alchemical as the First Empire, and they were by no means a bunch of stubborn diehards, absorbing the advantages of pirate fighter plug-ins*, and the Goblin Air Force modified and installed similar hooks on both sides of the saddle of the air cavalry. The rider only needs to pull the rope lightly during the battle, and after detaching from the saddle of the air cavalry, the falling * will automatically ignite and detonate at the target. Although the accuracy of this simple bomb delivery method is not high, it is not a problem in the eyes of the highly skilled goblin air cavalry. *Insufficient delivery accuracy? It doesn't matter, the closer you get to the bomb, the more accurate it is, so get a little closer to the target, and a few skilled goblin air cavalry swoop down to less than a hundred yards above the water before pulling the rope and dropping it*.

Suddenly, the golden light on the surface of the Chishui River shone brightly, and the thick turbid water columns rose and fell one after another, like a wall blocking water, and the violent roar was mixed with the billowing white smoke and water vapor, and a spectacular white mist was quickly generated on the water surface.

Seeing that the goblins began to close the net, and he was afraid that he would have to stop cooking with his conventional strength alone, Luo Zhengdao finally couldn't hold it back, and he turned around and walked into the rest room attached to the back of the command tower. That's it, so what more bikes! Just get out of the way, and let's do it!

"Summon—Flame Sparrow!"

"Ultra Magic - Geometry Value-Added!"

The birds that occupied a large area of the sky in the blink of an eye frightened both the enemy and me, and Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but smile bitterly, the sequelae of using the magic card are strict, no, no! This red bird, which is only the size of a sparrow, is one of his favorite cards, and a low star level means less consumption, which can be activated with only sacrifices, and combined with all kinds of super magic skills passed down by the magic card master, it is indeed beneficial and not costly, but I don't know if excessive practice will also cause the curse of the Aragami.

"Spread out! Disperse! ”

Seeing this strange flock of red birds appear, except for the blind, they can know that the situation is not good, and these air cavalry have not suffered losses, and they hate the strange summoning technique of a certain half-hung magic card master.

Thankfully, one guy doesn't always use this technique, and only uses it to save the scene when the situation is critical, and it seems that it is because of the high cost of use, which gives the goblins the courage to launch an ambush. If someone is a little more aggressive, he can keep up with the magic card masters of the ancient era, the sky and earth change color and lightning and thunder in a snap of his fingers, and it is not a problem to challenge the gods head-on. When you meet a master who eats raw rice like this, no matter how fierce the goblin is, no matter how fierce he is and how far he is afraid of death, he has to roll as far as he can, similar to this kind of super perverted ruthless character, mere mortals really can't afford to provoke him, so it's better to forget about grievances and hide early.

"Ultra Magic—Illusion Technique!"

Luo Zhengdao was very dissatisfied with the technique he used, so he added another handful of firewood to the fire, and today he had to kill these goblin air cavalry with a breath. As Luo Zhengdao's fingers loomed, thousands of images changed like phantoms, and at this time, in the sky above Chishui, countless red birds also let out a sharp chirp and turned into a thick mist.
