Chapter 958 Before the trapped landing, the ship and artillery deterred the enemy
Liu Xing, the number one pit god in the world, happily made a decision, what would happen to Yao Zheng after the order was passed to Penghu Island?
As soon as he received the order to give both grace and power and trap the remnants of King Kang's army, Yao Zheng was first depressed in his heart. Why is he so depressed? Because if according to his original plan, a few thousand remnants of King Kang were defeated and retreated to Nantian Island, he only needed to give an order and pour a few rounds of bullets at Nantian Island to kill all those guys.
But Liu Xing had the heart to love talents, and had the heart of the guy who used the ancient method to attract the ghost mother and created a tragedy for hundreds of thousands of people on the island.
Liu Xing's thought made Yao Zheng's entire plan overthrown, and the war that he had imagined would end in a few hours at most become likely to drag on for a long time, so he was extremely depressed.
However, Yao Zheng was an old subordinate who followed Yue Fei to Liu Xing, and he knew very well that everything Liu Xing did must have a deep meaning.
He also knew that although ancient spells had long been rare in the human world, just because the caster was able to sneak into Xiaoyu Mountain without being eaten by the ghost mother, and he could escape from under the nose of the ghost mother again, it all showed that the person who could cast the ancient spell was indeed a talent.
Since Liu Xing loves talents and has a heart to appease, Yao Zheng, who has followed Liu Xing since Wutai Mountain, can only choose to firmly carry out Shangguan's instructions......
After some psychological entanglement, Yao Zheng pondered for a moment and then turned to look at the several messengers standing beside him, and pointed to Nantian Island, which was already three miles away, and he issued an order to fight.
As soon as Yao Zheng's order came out, the guns on the fifteen ironclad battleships poured several rounds of bullets into the open area in the southwest corner of Nantian Island.
The remnants of the Southern Dynasty on the island had already seen the power of the Royal Marine's artillery, and they were even more afraid of the appearance of poison-carrying shells like in Penghu Island. As soon as the cannon rang out here, the remnants of King Kang's soldiers fled towards the mountain in the northeast corner with strange screams.
By the end of the three rounds of artillery fire from the fifteen warships, there was no trace of half of King Kang's remnants in the open flat land from the south to the southwest.
"Quickly release the boats, select the front team to land and dig trenches, and the battalions of the land war are ready for landing." Seeing that those Southern Korean soldiers fled to the mountain in the northeast corner like rabbits when they saw the artillery fire, Yao Zheng decisively issued a second order.
After receiving the order, the pipe bands on the fifteen ironclad battleships quickly put the "landing boats" carried by each ship and designed and sketched by Liu Xing into the sea.
After the 15 th team of soldiers who selected the vanguard were best prepared for the launching of the "landing boat," everyone walked down the gangway and boarded the "landing boat" with their heads held high. Immediately, 1,500 men swept across the sea like a flock of eagles speeding on the vast sea, and in the blink of an eye, they easily landed on the southwest corner of Nantian Island, and then rushed to the place near the foot of the small hill and began to dig trenches......
On the hill, seeing that the "landing boats" of the Northern Dynasty Navy Division were traveling at a speed like the wind, Zhang Qi looked back at a veteran who had fought with the Northern Dynasty in Huang Tiandang behind him in shock.
"Kong Ermao, what is the bottom ship in the Northern Dynasty? How can it carry so many people, and the speed is still so fast? In astonishment, Zhang Qi asked the veteran.
Hearing this, the veteran stared at the soldiers at the foot of the mountain who were digging into a trench, and said in a daze: "I have seen several such boats in the battle of Huang Tiandang, and those boats are not propelled by brawn oars, but by six or twelve people on each boat with pedal oars. ”
Halfway through his words, the veteran Kong Ermao turned his head to look at Zhang Qi and continued: "That ship is so exquisite, it is really ingenious! The oars were like a row of water pouring into the water, and when they wanted to accelerate, the oarsman would guide the mechanism on the boat, and the oars on the two wings of the boat would join in the paddling propulsion. Carrying hundreds of people and shooting directly at Huang Tiandang from Jiangbei in a moment, our army was unable to parry and suffered a crushing defeat......"
"The soldiers are very fast, no wonder the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty are like a violent wind, and in such a short period of time, our dynasty has been defeated so much." After listening to Kong Ermao's recollections, Zhang Qi's eyes were still staring at the clipper ship that was returning to the distance and going to the Royal Naval Fleet to meet the next batch of landing soldiers.
Then he retracted his mind and said to Kong Ermao: "I saw that the speed of the big ship in the north is also extremely fast, and the hull is covered with iron armor. Among those ironclad ships, are they also driven by the treadwheels that have been improved by drawing water from this farmland? ”
Shaking his head, Kong Ermao said, "No. According to the accounts of several Tabaiying brothers who had spied on and watched the ships of the Northern Dynasty sailors up close, those big ships of the Northern Dynasty were driven by something called a roller. The grinding wheel is driven by animal power, just like a folk donkey pulls and grinds grain. ”
Stopping again, Kong Ermao's face showed a little helplessness, and he continued: "But I don't know how Liu Thief thought of it, and he actually turned the crushing force into a driving force with many axles, so that those ironclad warships of the Northern Dynasties sailed day and night and could go more than 300 miles or even 400 miles a day. It is precisely because of the speed of its voyage and the sharpness of its firearms that our sailor will be defeated in an instant. ”
"Three hundred miles a day!" Hearing Kong Ermao talk about this, Zhang Qi's eyes widened in shock again: "You, you said that those ironclad ships can travel three or four hundred miles a day?" In other words, if there are follow-up warships in the rear of the Northern Dynasty, even if they come here from Fuzhou, it will not take three days to arrive? ”
Nodding heavily, Kong Ermao said helplessly after hearing his words: "Yes! Not to mention starting from Fuzhou, that is, from the mouth of the river north of Lin'an, those Northern Dynasty warships will arrive near this deserted island in three or four days! ”
Hearing these words, Zhang Qi stopped speaking, his eyes stared at the distant sea, and he secretly thought in his heart: With such a strong ship and so many capable people to help, it is no wonder that the Outer Flying Immortals were able to sweep away the Western Xia, pacify the Jurchens, attack and kill Tibet, and set up troops in the grassland without defeat in such a short period of time.
The wisdom of that flying immortal outside the sky seems to be really unparalleled in the world, and when he encounters such an opponent, let alone King Kang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to match Taizu in his second life.
The master asked me to help King Kang and help my Lingbao faction to become orthodox in Taoism. But now that there are only more than 2,000 wounded troops left around me, how can I fight against the warships that are as fast as the wind, the cannons that are powerful and immortal, and the army of the Northern Dynasty that everyone has firearms in their hands?
King Kang, King Kang, it seems that it is really like the oracle bone hexagram, you were originally the lord of the world, but you have become a foil because of outsiders. Under such circumstances, it seems that my long-cherished wish to make my spiritual treasure the first gate in the world cannot be counted on you...... (To be continued.) )
