Chapter 189: The Knife Test (Part II)

Lingyue Island and Lingyue Mountain are the two places where the Lingyue people rely on for survival, not far away, only dozens of kilometers away, but Lingyue Island is on the sea, and Lingyue Mountain is on land. In fact, Lingyue Island and Lingyue Mountain are the closest to Xiyuan City, but Zhao Meng of Xiyuan City is a marine army, so this attack on Lingyue Island is still five hundred warships sent from the Seven Princesses of Southeast County.

I was still far away and saw the smoke rising in the distance, no need to ask, there must have been a lot of warships already on fire, and the higher up the smoke became, it became a mixture, and the whole sky was gray.

"Stop! Stop! Stop first! Tong Wuxin immediately waved his hand and shouted, causing Wu Lijia and the others to stop shaking, and the colorful boat slowly stopped.

"What's wrong? What to stop for? It's still a long way off! You can't even see a single ship! Wu Yue asked in surprise.

"Well, I know, but generally speaking, there are some small clippers cruising back and forth around those large warships to prevent enemy ships from sneaking closer, so we need to be cautious!" After all, Tong Wuxin is the daughter of the pirate Tong Jiao, and she knows a lot about naval battles, and she has participated in many naval battles, so she immediately entered a state of alert.

"Oh! So that's what happened, it doesn't matter, I still have a baby! Zhu Xiaobao suddenly realized, but he was not worried at all, and immediately took out the telescope from the old apprentice. This time, the telescope has improved a lot from the last test piece, the workmanship is more fine, and the size has become smaller, only half a foot long, and it is only less than a foot when it is opened, but it can already achieve six times the effect!

"Huh? What is this? What's the use, what are you looking at? Tong Wuxin couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Humph! He said it was called a telescope and it could see far away! Wu Yue said a little proudly, but she was also a little dissatisfied, Zhu Xiaobao had promised to give it to her a long time ago, but she hadn't fulfilled it until now, she didn't expect it to be so exquisite!

"Wow! So many warships? It's spectacular! Tsk, more than a dozen warships were burned! Haha, there are really a lot of clippers around these big ships, but they don't seem to be very fast? Zhu Xiaobao exclaimed at this time, he had never seen so many warships gathered together!

"I'll see!" Wu Yue couldn't help it anymore, she snatched the telescope from Zhu Xiaobao's hand, and also observed it excitedly, she had never seen this kind of naval battle scene, and she was amazed when she saw it.

The old apprentice could only shake his head and sigh on the side, that is, Wu Yue could bully Zhu Xiaobao so arrogantly, and he couldn't change him. However, the old apprentice also had a telescope, which was the earliest test item, and now he was holding it in his hand and looking at it with relish, and the Great Venerable had never seen a naval battle.

However, Wu Yue knew each other very well, and after looking at it for a while, he handed over the telescope in his hand to Tong Wuxin, after all, Tong Wuxin is the only one who knows how to fight naval warfare here.

"Yikes! Can you really see that far? Even the people on the boat can see it! This thing is simply prepared for naval battles! Tong Wuxin followed Wu Yue's example, and also raised the monocular, and couldn't help but exclaim after looking at it. With this thing, doesn't that mean that you can detect enemy ships in advance, outflank them, and immediately grasp the initiative?

"Who said that we can also be of great use when we fight on land!" Wu Yue said a little unconvinced.

"Humph! Look at your careful eyes, I didn't fight with you! But now we can go a little further, we're still far away! Tong Wuxin glanced at Wu Yue, and said a little jealously, no way, it seems that this telescope must be Wu Yue's! I would also like to have a clairvoyant like this.

"Nope! I'm just talking about things! Wu Yue said a little embarrassed, and then turned her head and said to Zhu Xiaobao fiercely: "I don't care, anyway, I have a fight with Sister Wuxin, you can get it for me when you go back!" ”

"Alas! I knew it was the result. Sister Wuxin's no problem, shouldn't you give me some benefits? Zhu Xiaobao leaned into Wu Yue's ear and whispered, with a green light in his eyes.

"I hate it, I'll talk about it when I go back at night!" Wu Yue's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and said in a very low voice, her voice was even smaller than Zhu Xiaobao.

"Master, should I go back to live tonight?" Unexpectedly, the Venerable Wine and Meat asked very incomprehensibly, he didn't miss what he said just now, he listened to it all, the Great Venerable's ear power is quite strong!

"Humph! You're working overtime tonight, didn't you hear what you just said, and you have to rush to make two telescopes, so you can work hard and work overtime with Duane! Zhu Xiaobao said angrily, even if you hear it, don't squeak, what are you doing? Isn't it just that martial arts are better!

"Oh! Got it! The old apprentice nodded and said seriously.

At this time, Wu Lijia and the others also opened their eyes, they all looked at the telescope, and some of them returned to the back, shaking the transmission rod with all their might, and the colorful boat suddenly drove forward at a rapid speed!

When it was more than a kilometer away from the outermost warship, the colorful ship stopped again, and Tong Wuxin's grasp of the distance was very accurate, and the other party's large warship could be seen at this distance, but the other party could not see this small colorful ship, and it was said to be a colorful ship, in fact, the hull and cabin were gray-blue, and it was not easy to be detected on the sea.

At this time, you can see the battle situation on the opposite side with a telescope, even the warships on Lingyue Island, which is the farthest away, can be seen. The warships on Lingyue Island were obviously much smaller, almost half the size of the Seven Princesses' warships. There were not many of them, but they relied on the advantage of the terrain to fight fiercely with the warships of the Seven Princesses.

Because the surroundings of Lingyue Island are shallow waters, the large warships of the Seven Princesses can't drive in, so the two sides can only rely on crossbow arrows and catapults to carry out the offensive, but there are also large catapults on Lingyue Island, condescendingly and constantly throwing stones and lit fireballs at the warships on the sea, this fireball is wrapped around the stone with hemp rope, and it is mixed with a lot of flammable materials, once it falls on the warship, the destructive power is also very amazing.

Zhu Xiaobao was amazed again and again, he couldn't imagine that this kind of naval battle without heat/weapons would be so tragic, the warships on both sides were damaged, relatively speaking, the casualties of the warships of the Seven Princesses were greater.

But the speed of extinguishing the fire of the troops of the Seven Princesses is also very fast, and it can be seen that they are quite experienced and well prepared, if a warship is not continuously hit and caught fire, it will basically not be burned, and after watching for half an hour, a warship is completely burned, and the soldiers on board also jumped into the sea and were rescued by other warships.

"That ship is the flagship of this fleet, and it still has a handsome flag on it, not the Seven Princesses'. The Seven Princesses' warship was three-tiered, larger than this one, and the crossbows and catapults on it also shot farther. The Seven Princesses of such a small naval battle would not go out in person! Tong Wuxin looked at it and explained it to Zhu Xiaobao. Zhu Xiaobao still hoped to see the Seven Princesses, but he didn't expect the Seven Princesses to come at all.

The battle situation has been a stalemate, Zhu Xiaobao is a little uninterested, he also wants to see the warships of Lingyue Island, mainly to see those female warriors on Lingyue Island, I heard that the women of the Lingyue tribe are very tall and fit, and their faces are also very beautiful, which makes Zhu Xiaobao very eager to see it!

"Then let's take a detour from the side!" Tong Wuxin hesitated for a moment before speaking. She was also afraid of being discovered, which would be very dangerous. But she was still thinking about Zhu Xiaobao's cannons, and wanted to find a place to test fire!

Just in case, the colorful ship was moving forward at the fastest speed at this time, which was beyond Tong Wuxin's prediction, and twice as fast as those so-called clippers. But Tong Wuxin just stared at the warship of the Seven Princesses, but he didn't expect that a warship of Lingyue Island suddenly drove over from the east at this time, and the two warships of the Seven Princesses were wrapping it, at this time, even Zhu Xiaobao could see that this warship of Lingyue Island was isolated and could not return to his own fleet, so he could only run desperately towards the periphery, because the two warships chasing after him on the opposite side were much larger than it, and the crossbow arrows and catapults on it were also sharper. The boat had already burned twice, and the people on board were struggling to extinguish the fire.

"Oops! Oh no, we're going to be discovered! Copper Wuxin exclaimed.

Not only did the warships of Lingyue Island discover the colorful boat, but even the two warships of the Seven Princesses also saw the colorful boat, and immediately, two clippers rushed out next to the two large warships, apparently wanting to get close to the colorful boat.

"Why don't we identify ourselves? The warships of the Seven Princesses of the province think we are enemies? Wu Yue asked a little hesitantly, she didn't expect this situation, but the other party's clipper had already rushed over. Although the speed of the colorful boat is faster than that of the clipper, but now the colorful boat is moving towards these two clippers, which makes the distance between the two sides shorten rapidly.

"No! The other party will definitely control us, and we will only believe it when we go on board to check and confirm, in that case, the guns and drives on our ship will be discovered, and it can only be worse! Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly shook his head and said, just kidding, the equipment on this ship must be kept absolutely secret, how can the seventh princess know!

"What then?" Wu Yue asked a little flustered. She was afraid of causing trouble to the nineteenth princess, and she was even more afraid that Zhu Xiaobao would be in danger. And these people have no experience in naval warfare at all.

"Let's speed up and run away!" Zhu Xiaobao was also a little nervous, and hurriedly said.

At this moment, the two clippers got closer, only about one hundred and fifty paces, and the people on the clippers could see it with the naked eye! What I didn't expect was that the two clippers didn't shout, and they had already started to shoot crossbow arrows!
