The sound of the conch whined and landed in Yiyun's ears, feeling a burst of irritability.

On the shore in front of them, the golden sand waves beat the coast, flying out one after another pieces of sand and dust, the Yiwu soldiers heard the sound of the enemy's conch, and also knew that the Japanese were about to attack, and everyone was so nervous that they sweated.

Usually a similar strange noise is heard on the battlefield, which is a prelude to the enemy's general attack. For example, before the general attack, the Yunnan-Guizhou rebels liked to beat drums, and it was a very strange leather drum, which is said to be made of human skin. The Mongol and Manchurian soldiers in the north liked to blow trumpets before the attack, which were made of sheep's horns or ox horns, which sounded very annoying. The Guangxi wolf soldiers, on the other hand, liked to blow a whistle before attacking, which was a whistle made of bamboo joints, with a soft, high, sharp and unpleasant sound.

The current sound of conch should be the prelude to the general attack of the Japanese invaders, everyone thought so in their hearts. The soldiers tightened their grips on the firearms in their hands, and their eyes were fixed on the eight Japanese ships on the sea.

Yi Yun turned to look at a bronze cannon erected not far away, he planned to turn into an artillery at any time and use the cannon to bombard the Japanese in the landing operation.

This cannon is not a thousand-pound Buddha cannon, but a red-coated cannon dismantled from the head of Nanjing, also known as the Hongyi cannon, weighing more than 5,400 catties and covered with red cloth. The difference between this cannon and the thousand-pound Franc cannon is not only the tonnage and caliber, but also its status in the Great Meng Country is extremely lofty.

Thousands of catties of Franc cannons are not named, a cannon is a cannon, but each red-clothed cannon must take a separate name, such as "majestic general cannon", "Yangwei general cannon" and so on, for example, the name of this cannon around Yi Yun is called "Zhenhai General Cannon", before each use, the artillerymen will also burn incense in front of it and pay tribute......

Yi Yun believed that with his powerful red-coated cannon, he would definitely be able to suppress at least three or four artillery soldiers on the other side. Because battleships are usually equipped with thousand-pound franc cannons, they will not be equipped with such heavy red-coated cannons.

Now that the cannons are ready, and the soldiers are all in ambush in the woods, the bullets are loaded, just waiting for Wang Zhi's landing force to come up and eat the bullets, why are the eight battleships still hovering at sea, not moving at all?

"Did you find anything wrong!" Soft Muxing leaned closer to Yi Yun and said in a low voice, "Obviously blowing the conch." It should be the signal of the general attack, why didn't any of the eight battleships move?"

"Something really isn't right!" said Evan, frowning.

"Look, the waves are getting bigger!" cried the stupid assassin Lu Xi.

All the attention of the group was on the enemy ships, but no one paid attention to the surface of the sea. Only the stupid assassin dozed off and was distracted, and he saw the change in the surface of the sea, and saw that on the surface of the sand and waves, one wave was higher than the other, as if there was a huge wave about to strike, and the sand waves rolled, lapping against the shore rocks and sand, making a raging sound.

"What's going on? Is the tide of the Qiantang River coming?"

"Look, something is coming out of the sea!" many Yiwu soldiers shouted at the same time.

Yi Yun hurriedly looked intently. I saw a black thing suddenly emerge from the sea a few miles away, too far away to see clearly, only a little bulge could be seen, very much like a reef. He took out his binoculars and magnified it, but what he saw was still a black thing, which could not be seen in the rolling sand waves.

"It's floating! it's getting higher and higher!" the Yiwu soldiers exclaimed.

Iyun also looked through the binoculars. Little by little, watching the black reef get higher and higher, and slowly, the part that protruded from the sea became conspicuous, and Yi Yun realized that it was not a reef, but a carapace...... It is a very large carapace with dark brown veins on it, and some sea creatures such as shells are attached to it. ...,

"This thing. It's kind of like the back shell of a turtle!" Iyun said earnestly.

Soft Muxing, who was holding a telescope next to him, also nodded and said, "That's right, I also feel like a turtle's back shell, but ...... The turtle isn't that big, is it? ”

The turtle shells on the sea continued to rise, taller and bigger, and the expressions of Yi Yun and Yiwu Bing began to become more and more ugly. After a long time, a floating hill actually rose on the sea, hundreds of meters high, and a radius of several hundred meters...... The huge hill is covered with turtle shell patterns......

"I'm rubbing, it's a huge turtle!" exclaimed Iyun, "a turtle as big as a mountain." ”

The Yiwu soldiers also shouted in unison: "Oh my God, what a big turtle! This turtle has not completely surfaced in the sea......

In the exclamation of everyone, the head and four legs of the giant turtle finally floated up, it was really the size of a mountain, just a little head stretched out, it was dozens of meters long, and the four huge feet paddled the water, and a huge wave surged. The terrifying momentum could be felt clearly from miles away.

Yi Yun finally understood why Wang Zhi chose to land fifty miles away from the oasis, because Wusong Wharf was already considered the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the water there was relatively shallow, and it would be very inconvenient for such a big turtle to move in that kind of shallow water. Only by landing here can the turtle move more easily.

"Daddy, buddy has just finished fighting with a huge scorpion, is he going to fight for the big turtle again?"

The giant tortoise began to rush towards the shore, the waves of the water it paddled while swimming, and Wang Zhi's eight warships were so waved that they quickly fled a distance, not daring to approach, the huge waves rushed to the shore, splashing sand waves up to ten meters high, and when the wind blew, the sand floated everywhere, and Yi Yun almost ate a mouthful of sand.

"What the hell is this Nima?" Yi Yun grabbed the ugly maid and asked, "Do you have any information about this big turtle in Sanjiang Pavilion?"

The ugly maid rolled her eyes: "Please pay 10,000 taels of silver for the intelligence fee!"

"I'm rubbing, why is the Grim Reaper's sister leading her subordinates? Yi Yun took out a piece of silver and put it in the hand of the ugly maidservant and said: "Twenty taels, don't bargain, tell me what this thing is?" If you don't say it, these twenty taels will not be earned, I don't know what it is, and I will fight with it directly." ”

The ugly maid weighed the silver and thought: It is better to earn than not to earn, twenty taels is twenty taels.

Only then did she say seriously: "This is the famous sixth-order monster of the East China Sea, Xuanwu!"

"Shenma?" Yi Yun was shocked: "Xuanwu? ”

The ugly maid spread her hands: "I think your job transfer treasure is a myth, and this turtle is not very unusual." ”

"Come on, why would this thing listen to Wang Zhi?" said Yi Yun urgently.

"The conch that Wang Zhi is holding in his hand is called Xuanwu Fa Luo, and whoever holds that thing, Xuanwu will listen to whomever he says. ”

"And what is its weakness?"

The ugly maid said proudly: "Its weakness is that it climbs slowly, hahaha, very slowly, after all, it is a turtle." ”

"I'm dizzy, I'm asking about weaknesses that can be used to defeat him!" said Iyun.

"Cough!" The ugly maid said solemnly: "I solemnly remind you with the reputation of Sanjiang Pavilion Tongsuo, when Xuanwu retracts into the shell, there is no weakness, his back shell is harder than a stone, no matter what swords, guns, swords, halberds, even if the fire gun can't penetrate it, you better run away quickly." ”

Evan: "......"

While the two were talking, the huge Xuanwu as a hill had swam to the near sea, because the sea began to become shallow, its huge body could no longer swim fast, so it had to crawl slowly on the shallows, worthy of a turtle, its crawling speed was very slow, the stones on the shore kept colliding with its huge body, making a rumbling sound, and the ground shook endlessly with each collision, although it was worse than the seismic waves made by the sand king, but the tremor would also make people stand unsteadily. ...,

"Lord Wang, do we want to shoot this guy?" asked a soldier blankly, "I don't even know where to hit it...... It's too big to aim at all. ”

"By the way, I forgot to give the order to fire. Yi Yun quickly stood up straight, raised his hand high, and shouted, "Yiwu soldiers...... Prepare for ......"

"Yes!"

Originally, Yi Yun planned to expand the army after building the Shanghai Oasis, but it was not too late yet, so there were still only 1,200 soldiers.

"Bullet shower...... Activate ......"

"Rush to shoot...... Don't save bullets ......"

"Hit!"

Yi Yun gave an order, 1,200 gunners fired together, and the sound of "pop pop" fire suddenly resounded on the coastline, in the woods, in the grass, and the firecrackers hiding behind the stones shot desperately together, and the bullets flew towards Xuanwu who was slowly crawling towards the shore like rain.

After all, the firecrackers are not stupid, they have the experience of not being able to penetrate the Sand King's carapace last time, they did not choose to hit Xuanwu's back shell, fools know that the turtle's back shell is the hardest place, and they concentrated their fire on Xuanwu's head and the part that sticks out of the shell.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they fired, Xuanwu's head retracted into its stomach, and the difference between it and ordinary turtles is that after its head was retracted into its stomach, the carapace of its lower abdomen could actually be closed upward, and it turned out that it was still a closed-shell turtle. When the upper and lower carapaces are closed, not even a single slit can be seen.

A dense stream of bullets flew over and hit its front armor with a muffled "bumper" sound, but the result was exactly as everyone expected, all the bullets were bounced away, and it couldn't hit its thick turtle shell at all.

"I can't move in the rain of bullets...... Daddy...... Hit it in the foot!" Iyun ordered loudly.

"Bang Bang!" The sound of fire rang out again, this time the bullets were all aimed at its thick feet, everyone thought it would retract its legs, but Xuanwu didn't pay attention to these incoming bullets, its legs were wrapped in a thick and extremely thick green skin, this green skin actually had a strong defensive effect, the bullets hit it, bounced away silently, and it didn't hurt at all.

Xuanwu continued to crawl towards the shore with slow steps...... The huge body of the mountain exudes a strong sense of oppression.

What's the hell about it?
