The 'ultimatum' of "Wang's Current Affairs" did not wake up Qin Yuan of the sunset leader, he always thought that this was just the bluff of the mascot, and it was their last pseudo-toughness, wanting to 'deceive' himself.

The king of Great Xia also believed that it was impossible for Jixiang to raise a group for a few merchants, although he had lost a lot of property, but compared to Jixiang's deep family background, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, the great battle a few months ago had depleted a lot of auspicious vitality, and it was time to recuperate, so it was time to recuperate, and it was time to raise troops again.

On September 10, heavy rain poured.

The auspicious river fleet sailed north, undisguised its whereabouts, attracting passing ships.

"Does Jixiang really have the strength to fight again?" Youzaku saw this scene and thought in his heart.

"Jixiang is really not cowardly. ”

The businessmen are all well-informed people, and there have been incidents of light or heavy targeting of the mascot in all domains, and everyone is waiting for the auspicious reaction, but they didn't expect it to be so naked and direct.

"yes, it's really changed. "Sun looked at the more than ten warships advancing in a 'zigzag' shape, and the joy and sorrow were incomprehensible.

The land sale between Xishan and Jixiang has been completed, and the aborigines have also been relocated to the Xihe area, just waiting for Jixiang to start development.

In addition, an artificial river was dug at the border and boundary markers were erected.

The mascot has not yet developed this enclave, but the price of land along the river in Xishan has risen gradually, and the buyers are not only Xishan people, but also Mascots, and some businessmen under his leadership.

The business acumen of the mascot has been recognized by the people of Daxia, so the land along the river that they bought has not been built, and they are waiting for the actions of the mascot to refer to and emulate.

Sun's visit to Kyrgyzstan this time is to implement the construction plan of Xihe Pedestrian Street.

Because of the importance of the matter, Zou Qiao, the chief housekeeper, was also brought over.

"Unbelievable, simply unbelievable!" Zou Qiao walked all the way and sighed all the way.

"It's not like the world. ”

This is Sun's heartfelt words, not like the world.

"Has the Lord ever talked to the auspicious Ministry of Commerce about the four-wheeled carriage?" asked Zou Qiao.

"Well, no. ”

Sun was a little embarrassed, his previous energy was focused on restoring a relationship with Jixiang, and he really didn't take this into account.

"However, with our relationship with Jixiang, it shouldn't be difficult to get permission. ”

The two have gradually shifted the topic to the new four-wheeled carriage, which is also the most concerned thing except for the sunset collar incident.

On September 14, at the entrance of the North Star Yao River, a huge fleet of thirteen warships with huge paddle wheels appeared.

The most important thing is that there is a five-star tricolor flag and a white dragon flag on a blue background hanging on it.

Da Gaoqiang left three supply ships in the north of Xingyao Lake, and led thirteen warships himself, heading straight for the sunset.

How long has it been since people on both sides of the river have seen this kind of big battle?

At the checkpoint set up at the mouth of the river, Wang Du took the initiative to back down after seeing the five-star tricolor flag and watched the fleet sail by on the shore.

"Jixiang doesn't want to lose face, and the sunset is in trouble. ”

The level boss stared at the huge battleship in front of him, the two rows of swarthy barrels above and below gave him tremendous pressure, as if there was a demon from hell hidden inside, ready to fly out and devour everything.

"Boss, those two rows are artillery?"

Some soldiers were curious and asked a special question.

After the Battle of Xingyao Lake, the auspicious cannon has become widely known, but there are still very few people who have actually seen its power.

"According to rumors, there is no doubt that it should be artillery, but the ship is called a naval gun, and it is said that it is much more powerful than the army artillery. ”

The leader inadvertently showed off, but he was also a little complacent.

"But, let's just back down, how can we explain to the above?" someone asked, pointing to the top of his head.

Hand over?

There is no explanation.

"Send someone to report the information to the royal capital quickly, and say that we are not able to defeat the ferocity of the opponent's artillery, and we have no choice but to retreat to the shore, preparing to cut off the back road of the mascot. In addition, let's talk about our losses greater, and then ask some death row prisoners from nearby territories to support a personal field, anyway, it will be the same for any death, and we will pay them back afterwards. ”

After the boss finished speaking, the herald hurried away, this is a matter of life and death, although they have done it more than once.

The North Star Yao River is not too wide, and as soon as the auspicious river fleet comes in, it looks crowded.

Some of the ships heading south, seeing that they were auspicious warships, knew how powerful they were, and they all docked to take refuge, or urgently returned to the sea, looking for a harbor to anchor.

The land route was faster than the water route, and when the river fleet passed through the Watch Territory, the Sunset Territory got the news.

This frightened Qin Yuan.

The mascot doesn't play his cards according to the routine, and he actually drove the fleet into the territory of Great Xia with such a swagger, is this declaring war on Great Xia?

In a hurry, I am afraid, but Qin Yuan is not chaotic.

"Hu Yi, immediately set off for the day to receive it, and ask my eldest brother to send troops to support. In addition, arrange the back route of the retreat, and if necessary, we will withdraw to the daily rear. ”

Hu Yi responded very happily and set off with a guard.

It's just that the journey is extremely slow, and he hopes that when he returns, he will have a result.

Sunset and Sunset, to the north is Sunset Canyon, and there is no road connecting other realms.

To the south, closer to the mascot, it's too late to hide, how can you rush to get up?

Therefore, Qin Yuan's final choice is still his own brother.

Although Hu Yi asked for help, Qin Yuan still had to arrange what he should have arranged, which was also his advantage, and he was careful.

He knew more or less that the Mascot was powerful in naval artillery, so he began to set up forts along the river, and built a defensive wall mainly with stones and mixed with earth.

In addition, behind the defensive wall and the fortress, many catapults were arranged, equipped with stone bullets and fire oil.

In this way, Qin Yuan felt a slight sense of security.

But at the same time, he fantasized about what a beautiful situation he would have if he really defeated the auspicious river fleet, and how would the royal capital reward him?

On the 16th, the scorching sun was in the sky.

The defensive wall of the Sunset Collar has appeared in the telescope of Dagaoqiang.

The herald watched the commander's every move, and when he saw Commander Da raise his right hand, he quickly passed the order.

"Lowering the sails, cleaning the breeches, and conducting an emergency inspection before the war. ”

Homemade loudspeakers spread to every corner of the battleship, and even the galleys knew that the war was about to begin.

The original naval guns had already been dismantled and carefully 'dressed', and were planned to be sold in the royal capital at the end of the year.

Today's naval guns on battleships are new, twenty four-inch and twenty-inch five-inch naval guns.

There were three Type II battleships in the fleet, one hundred and twenty meters long and forty meters wide, absolute behemoths.

Some merchants who had a good relationship with Jixiang, when the merchant ships passed by the new Type II warships, the strong sense of oppression made it difficult for them to breathe and they could not breathe.

The muzzles of the black holes are man-eating beasts, and once they roar, they are endlessly killing.

Artillery, has become a myth.

"In a one-word battle formation, the port side is ready to engage in battle, the starboard side is on alert, and the No. 1 and No. 2 ships cut off the river. ”

After the order was delivered, the two battleships left the ranks and anchored a kilometer to the north, with the right guns aimed at the river to the north.

The remaining eleven ships were lined up.

The artillery has all been rolled out of the cabin, the ammunition has been filled, and the solid bullet has been loaded into the chamber, waiting to be fired.

"The goal, to defend the walls and fortresses along the river, to fight for half an hour to settle the battle. ”

At this time, the fleet approached the east bank of the North Star Yao River, and the naval guns on the left side aimed at the target nearly three hundred meters to the west, so that the distance was also to prevent the opponent's counterattack from causing damage to the fleet.

Although the distance of 300 meters is not enough to ensure the absolute safety of people and ships, there are not many means for the Sunset Collar to hurt the fleet.

The guns on the starboard side of the fleet were on guard in the direction of the east coast to prevent a surprise attack on the ship.

"Fire!"

Under an order, an earth-shattering roar sounded, and those melon-eating masses who only heard the rumors and did not see the momentum were full of happiness this time, and they will have the capital to brag about in the future.

Those defenders who watched the sunset behind the fortress and defensive walls were suddenly stunned by the loud noise, and it was not until the screams sounded one after another that they realized that the war had begun, and the cruelty of the war was far beyond their imagination.

The defenders thought that the mascot would not attack them, but they just put on an attacking posture and forced the territory to give in.

I never thought that people didn't bother to say hello at all, and shelled directly.

After the first round of shelling, the defensive walls and half-height fortresses were suddenly covered by smoke and dust.

Although these are built with stones, the strength varies greatly without the fusion of cement.

Some of the stones were directly shattered by the solid iron eggs, some of the walls were pierced, revealing a mouth-like hollow, and some entire walls were crushed and collapsed.

The distance of 300 meters is just right for artillery power.

In addition to a cloud of smoke and dust, only screams remained.

After three rounds of shelling, the solid shells turned into flowering shells.

The touch fuse did not come out, and the traditional fuse index explosion was still used, so there was an error.

Some shells may explode in the middle of the flight, while others will only detonate after a few breaths on the ground.

But the effect is not bad.

Collapsed walls and scattered rocks all increased the power of the flowering bullets.

After three more rounds of shelling, the river flotilla began to advance northward.

As if it were a targeted prune, the river fleet gradually advanced northward, destroying the improvised defensive line that Sunset had painstakingly built up over two days.

On the 17th, the entire defense line along the river of the Sunset Collar had been destroyed, and the river fleet began shelling the port of Sunset.

At this time, Qin Yuan was planning an escape route.

At noon, Sunset Harbor was filled with fire and thick smoke.

Crowds were scattered everywhere, there were no more boats floating in the harbor, and people in the distance were staring blankly at what was happening here.

Their feeling is the same as when Zou Qiao first came to Jixiang, it is so unreal, so shocking, especially in a dream.

The sharp artillery bombardment crushed the sunset man's last luck.

Catapults, bed crossbows are ineffective, and people are unscrupulously shelling outside your range, but even if your own attack hits, it is just an itch in your boots, how can you fight this battle?

After witnessing this subversive moment with their own eyes as many people witnessed the bombardment of the Sunset Territory by the Jixiang River Fleet, they began to sympathize with the previous Combined Fleet.

At the beginning, people thought that the excuse for the failure of the Combined Fleet was too bizarre, and they did not believe that such weapons existed in the world, but now they are really happening under their noses, and they have fulfilled them one by one, and this face hurts.

The people watching the battle had their own thoughts, and the only common understanding was that the sunset was over, and the auspicious situation in Great Xia had been reversed compared to before the war.

Great Xia is strong, and Jixiang will be on the defensive.

Now that Jixiang is fighting back strongly, Daxia should be on the defensive.

All this is brought about by the effect of naval artillery shelling, this is the truth, always within the range of one's own artillery.

The marines began to land, and the Great White Shark had already arrived near the Sunset Lord's Mansion, using makeup to monitor Qin Yuan's every move.

Their goal is to capture the Sunset Lord alive.

When the news of Sunset Harbor's disappearance into the sea of fire reached the Lord's Mansion, Qin Yuan regretted it.

At this time, he remembered the words of his eldest brother's warning, but it was too late to regret everything.

Some things, some people don't want to believe in the end result, they haven't experienced it themselves, and they often choose to try. Most people subconsciously think that they may be the lucky one who succeeds, and they are a little confused with confidence.

But the reality is that once you try, most of the results are negative, and it is an extravagant hope to start all over again.

As a result, people will pass on the lessons to future generations, and later generations, like their predecessors, will not listen to the advice and repeat the mistakes of the past, hitting the southern wall before they will regret it.

It's sad and hateful.

Only when you do it can you know what is right or wrong, but when you are wrong, you can't get it back.

This is gambling, buying and leaving, this is life, there is never regression.

This forbidden fruit effect, which originates from rebellious psychology, has harmed too many people.

Unfortunately, this psychological phenomenon is not controlled by drugs.

Sunset's army did not resist.

They just waited silently for the mascot to come and disarm and then be herded into the barracks so they would be safe.

An army without soul and spirit, more well-behaved than a child.

Therefore, the mascot did not arrange for the army to guard it at all.

As soon as the Sunset Collar incident began, the outcome was doomed.

When the river fleet evacuated with Qin Yuan and the nearly one million gold coins captured, the diplomatic envoys of Great Xia hurried to Jixiang, only asking that the incident be stopped, as for Qin Yuan, it was his own fault.

At this point, the atmosphere of the various leaders of Daxia towards mascots has changed suddenly, and the style of painting has changed suddenly.

At this time, no one wants to step on the auspicious position.

Wang Xuan looked at the topographic map, and after listening to the report, he said such a sentence casually, and it was actually rumored.

"I knew it was the result, well done!"

"A territory dares to provoke auspiciousness, and the United Fleet is unjustly killed. "This is an outsider who is begging for a life in auspiciousness.

"From then on, Jixiang will sit on an equal footing with the other three countries, and no one will dare to provoke again. "This is a native of the royal capital.

Subsequently, major newspapers and periodicals reported on Jixiang's military operation on a full page with the title of "Is there anyone still trying to provoke?"

It can be summed up in three words, which is "fast, accurate, and ruthless".
