Chapter 531: Chaos in Annan's Territory Emerges
The precept-breaking monk Wang Hu was all over Qiongya Island, killing the barbarians and garrisoning Liwei, whether it was the local gentry or the Li Zhai in the mountains, they were all shocked by his unparalleled force alone.
Of course, the pair of dark flame gilt machine arms have also attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people, but unfortunately, despite the increasingly vigorous development of the shipbuilding industry in Fangchenggang on Qiongya Island, the mechanism technique is only limited to Lingao City.
Specifically, the birthplace is still the Iron Heart Temple of the High Mountains and Mountains outside the city, which comes from the hands of the Immortal Zhen Fuyouzi (Lu Bin), even the simplest mechanism arm, there are more than 300 parts, and it is controlled by the outer disciples who are deeply trusted by the immortals, and no one can see the whole picture.
The mechanism is rumored to come from the relics of the Mo family of the Fourth Dynasty Immortal Qin, and the core power is the spell of the impeachment of ghosts and gods, and only the huge power of ghosts and gods can make ordinary people wearing machine armor and weighing more than 500 catties run on the ground like flying.
After the end of the White Crane Tower Alliance, Lu Bin returned to Qiongya Island, and in line with the development strategy of both shipbuilding and mechanism skills, he instructed his disciples to create an advanced form of the machine arm, the machine battle armor.
The burly head of the ring-breaking monk Wang Hu, with two machine arms, is still not strange, as for the semi-enclosed mechanism battle armor, even if the trial is Wang Hu, compared to this huge exoskeleton battle armor, it still looks a little weird.
Lu Bin was ready to compress the size as much as possible to fit the user on the premise of retaining the original function, but the difficulty of building the shrunken parts also skyrocketed, so Lu Bin immediately understood, eliminating the redundant functions of the mechanism armor, and only retaining the characteristics of multiple times the output and the outward extension of the attack range.
Secondly, as a war weapon that can carry arquebuses and lead bullets on the battlefield, the machine armor not only has to be strengthened and improved in defense, but also has to face the test of heavy artillery.
The hardness of wrought iron strengthened by true qi will be temporarily increased, but over time, it will return to its original material sooner or later, so carburized steel, which is harder, is on the agenda.
The East India Company of the Britain Kingdom has never stopped its tentative attacks on the South China Sea, even if it maintains respect for the whip of the South China Sea, Simon Blowing Feather, but their penetration and control of the South Asian subcontinent have never stopped.
Of course, in order to share the wrath of the pirate king of the South China Sea, the top management of the East India Company invited and even connived at the Francis kingdom to enter the South Asian subcontinent, and successfully gained a foothold in Annam, a vassal state adjacent to the Middle-earth Empire, by supporting the restoration of the descendants of the former Nguyen dynasty.
The forces of the Kingdom of Francis began to infiltrate and control Annam step by step, establishing a treaty port in the south and dividing a concession for the Francis to live in.
As a feudal kingdom in the traditional sense of Middle-earth, Nguyen Thi Annam was unable to repay the huge military expenses due to the use of the force of the Kingdom of Francis when it was restored, and it was inevitably affected by infiltration, and was gradually transforming into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial kingdom.
For the erosion of the vassal states of the Middle-earth Empire, the countries of the Old World have maintained a relatively tacit understanding, and the high-level of the Britaen Kingdom is happy to see someone charging forward to test and provoke, not only to support the world, but also to acquiesce to all kinds of strange people and strange people on the mysterious side.
The missionaries with a gun in their left hand and a sutra in their right hand are considered orthodox routines, and the undead masters of the Francis Hermitage Order, the alchemists who move forward in the forbidden realm, and the ancient god priests who are keen on blood sacrifices, after getting rid of the clamps of the church, can be said to be like a fish in water in the vast territory of Annam.
Their evil tentacles stretched out to the neighboring kingdoms of Vientiane and Chenla, and were stubbornly resisted by the local gods and magicians, but as time passed, the mage group of the Francis Kingdom became more ruthless due to their fighting style, dealing a heavy blow to the resistance forces of the two countries.
The South Asian subcontinent was radiated by the civilization of the Middle-earth Empire, and the vassal states that were subordinate to the barbarian dynasty had to turn to their suzerains for help. It is a pity that since the founding of the barbarian dynasty, it has experienced the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Junggar rebellion and the battle of the Rakshasa country, and the national strength is exhausted, and it is really impossible to spare a hand to support the vassal states, and it is still the hot and humid Annam countries.
Therefore, the barbarian dynasty adopted a delaying strategy, and was not ready to send troops to rescue, for the sake of the dignity of the suzerain, at most it supported a batch of ordnance, and the silver and other military expenses of the ship, in the hands of the officials who withheld the layers, also magically disappeared.
At this time, Lu Bin, who was full of a sense of crisis, sent a newly completed gunboat fleet to Annan in the name of the business alliance, as well as a mecha regiment equipped with machine armor.
Nguyen Thi Annam is now a pitiful person drowning after asking for help from the suzerainty to no avail, and even the rumored immortals are regarded as lifesavers and can't wait to reach out and hold on.
The gunboats of Qiongya Island, which are equivalent to the third-class ships of the Briteng Kingdom, have a total of fifty, more than 300 auxiliary ships of various kinds, and a total of 80 heavy guns are loaded on the three decks on both sides of the gunboat, with a maximum speed of 20 knots and a tonnage of more than 1,800, which not only crushes the sailing ships of the Kingdom of Annam, but also surpasses the fleet of the Kingdom of Francis.
The total number of the Organ Battle Armor Regiment is five hundred, the leader is the precept-breaking monk Wang Hu, and the rest of the members are all "prayers" summoned by Lu Bin from the place of bones, there is no superfluous emotions of mortals, all of them are cold killing machines.
In order to build the prestige of the business alliance and save Annan and other countries from the quagmire of semi-feudal and semi-colonial countries, Lu Bin can be said to have made a bloody investment to ensure that the war can get off to a good start.
In fact, Lin Shenhe, the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, which was based on Liangguang, had already led the elite of Qingyunmen to Langshan, and as long as the battle started, they could wave their army south at any time.
At the same time, the undead ship of Ximen Fuyu, the whip of the South China Sea, is also eyeing the merchant ships of the Francis Kingdom, and a huge number of undead legions, mainly powerful soul-bound corpses, are ready to attack the undead masters from the Old World.
Even Lu Bin himself secretly arrived at the battlefield, ready to observe the collision of the two worlds and the armed groups of different power systems at close range, and was ready to go down at any time and summon the Wild War Beast Legion to turn the tables.
However, the gunboats of Ngar Nga suddenly attacked the three treaty and trading ports of Da Nang, Bala and Quang An, and the ships of the Kingdom of Francis in the port were blown up by the roaring artillery.
Immediately after, the ship's Battleframe Regiment landed ashore and marched through the ruins near the port to the port authority and the garrison of the French army, which was responsible for managing the commercial port.
The leading precept-breaking monk Wang Hu, holding a heavy horse chopping knife with a length of more than twelve meters, rushed ahead in one step. When he approached the army station, the officer, who had already reacted to the gunboat attack, immediately rang the bell for the army to assemble.
More than 2,000 arquebusiers immediately regrouped and lined up, ready to deal with an enemy who appeared out of nowhere, according to the standard tactics of the drill.
Pierno, the supreme commander of the Francis garrison, held the telescope and saw the distant port in flames, and his heart suddenly sank, and he immediately understood that the enemy was definitely not the "allies" of the Old Continent, otherwise the devastating attack would not have been launched with the purpose of destroying the port, and it was very likely that it would come from the magical Middle-earth Empire.
"Annam, as a vassal state, the barrier of the Great Unification Empire, after asking for help from their suzerain, there is a 70% probability that the Middle-earth Empire will send a regular army. ”
Pierno remembered the speculation of the staff officers, and was a little unimpressed, after all, the information collected in the recent period was that the dynasty established by the Tunguska barbarians, in order to quell the rebellion of all parties, was now in a period of internal and external troubles, and it was impossible to send a large number of troops.
However, the continuous rumbling of cannons in the distant harbor brought Pierno's fantasy back to reality, and he really couldn't imagine how many gunboats were attacking the harbor at this time, and the number of heavy guns would certainly not be less.
At this moment, there was a faint vibration on the ground, arriving from far and near, Pierno couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and the surface of the fragrant tea on the table was vibrating regularly, setting off layers of ripples.
He immediately opened his mouth to the adjutant beside him: "I'm sure it's definitely not artillery, but some kind of heavy ...... God, what is this?"
