Chapter Twenty-Four: The Bombardment of Chongcheng

Under normal circumstances, if someone on the battleship was controlled, he might not be able to cut such a powerful battleship in half so lightly, because there was not only a magic array on it, but also those warriors over there, but now it was obvious that the other party had given up on the ship, and they were more like a bait to lure those expeditionary forces into being fooled, rather than letting their own combat effectiveness be reflected. Seeing the warship split into two, it slowly sank, but a large number of barrels floated up, many of them were broken in half, and the barrels directly leaked out a lot of black things, which was oil!

"Damn, these unscrupulous guys, do you really want to burn us to death?" It was only then that he realized that this was all true, not because he was a saint who could cut a huge warship in half with a single sword, but because the enemy did not have a fortification on it in the first place, and even removed the magic array on it, just to make the oil burn faster.

On the top of Chongcheng, an old man is also looking at the magic monitoring mirror, he is the director of this battle Rong Shui, he and Rong Shi are two brothers, and they are also the opponents of Rong Shi in Sima Wei's mouth, but in any case, what Sima Wei didn't expect was that it was just an appearance, and the real situation was just that the two brothers wanted to get rid of those who were not loyal to them like this, and this situation also caused them to have absolute control over the rocky island, compared with Rong Shi, Rong Shui's is more focused on wisdom. When he saw Yang Feng's sword split a ship, he sighed. He knew that this strategy had obviously been exposed to the expeditionary force, and now if he wanted to be lucky. Then the ploy will fail directly.

"It's a pity, they're coming too fast, and if I give them a few more days to prepare, I'll have a reason to let them all stay, huh. Now we can only wait for reinforcements to arrive, and hopefully they will arrive sooner. But now it's up to us to buy time for their arrival. ”

"Ignite!" and with his command, the different ships that had been brought in from all over the harbor burst into flames at the same time. That is, in an instant, the entire harbor was in flames. Because Rong Shui was afraid that the expeditionary force would discover the secret in advance, he deliberately docked these warships to the shore. And they were docked together, but even those ships made up nearly a third of the harbor, and thousands of ships of different sizes were set on fire, and then used magic to rush towards the ports of the Imperial ships that rushed in. Just run into it. It was another big source of fire, and a lot of oil was constantly leaking out during the boat's journey, making the entire water surface burn. At this time, Lu Zhongyi's expression was stern when he saw this situation, although he had been warned by Kongming in advance, but when he really came, he really felt the strictness of things.

"The commander really estimated, but it seems to be a little late, but there is always some time to prepare. Since they want to burn. Then I'll let them burn enough. "Lu Zhongyi is worthy of being a veteran for many years, for this kind of fire attack. If it was on land, he had a hundred ways to make these things disappear, but fortunately, even on the water, he had many ways to make these things disappear, otherwise the entire expeditionary force might have been completely defeated in this place. Aren't they just burning, and they're oiled so that they can't be extinguished? In that case, add another fire and let them burn enough.

"Send the order down and let the magic archer shoot the fire magic through and help them burn faster. ”

"Woohoo!"

It didn't take long for the order to go down, and it shot out from every ship of the marines facing the enemy, and then everyone saw that after those magic arrows fell, rows of low-level magic such as walls of fire and fire rings continued to burn, and there was an even more exaggerated thing that a level eighth-level magic scroll - the sea of fire, so it burned a whole square kilometer of the area, which made those warships burn faster. In less than ten minutes, there was no longer a single Mars in this square kilometer. Such an event gave the greatest encouragement to all the members of the Marine Corps. Overcoming fire with fire is also a practice that anyone who has experienced it often will understand. At the same time, they kept sending out a vindictive spirit to knock back the rushing fireboats, preventing them from burning their own ships.

"It's really magnificent, only in this situation can we see such a magnificent sea of fire! Life is really splendid! A thousand ships of flames burst into the night, and they disappeared again and again for a moment, and once asked the sky who is the strongest, and the tigers on land occupy one. A man sighed beside Kongming. This is Kong Bing, the Battle of Taicheng, when Kong Ming was in a coma, he came to the empire with Kong Ming, and has been by Kong Ming's side as a clerk and other characters, of course, more often than not, he is constantly creating a variety of different poems.

"Kong Bing, this is a fire in the middle of the war, I only hope that he will finish it quickly, otherwise we will all feed the demonic beasts in this sea. Kong Ming couldn't cry or laugh on the side. This is the only way to say such things at such a time.

Haixing is also speechless, how can this person talk like this, but it is natural to think about his identity. On the contrary, Alexander and Zhang Yiming have only been here for a few days, and they are not very familiar with him, and they don't know his details, but they think that people who are so familiar with Kong Ming should be similar to Kong Ming's staff or something.

The fire was all burned out in half an hour, and there were not only countless oils prepared by Rong Shui, but also countless fire-based magic scrolls of the Marine Army. All that remained above the water were the wreckage of the battleships, with blackened planks floating around. But they never affected the ships of the expeditionary force, they were exposed too early, and if they were burned while the ships of the expeditionary force were close to their ships, at least the losses of the expeditionary force would be much greater, and it would not be impossible for the entire army to be destroyed.

Before the fire had stopped, the ships in the rear of the Marines began to move from both sides towards the non-burning area, where they were to land, and at the same time to get out of the way and let other ships into the harbor. Half an hour is just a short moment for the average person. It's over before it starts, but half an hour is very precious for the expeditionary force now, because every minute means more losses can be recovered. Thousands of warships kept entering the harbor under the command of the officers sent by the sea line. Now that there are half of the ships left outside, this is a critical time.

"Hemp, at last, all the ships rushed forward, docked directly to the shore! Lu Zhongyi ordered. All of a sudden, the troops of the Marine Army, who had been lining up in several rows towards Chongcheng, rushed towards the docks.

Rong Shui looked at the top of the city, and his eyes lit up, who designed the city? The city wall is ten kilometers away from the pier. Their magic crystal cannon could barely shoot half the distance, and no further than that.

"He's numb, who the hell designed this castle. Why are you so far away from the dock!" Rong Shui roared directly, at this time, as a high-level sage, his temper also came up, and the magic crystal cannon mounted on the top of the city was like a waste, and it was useless. There is no threat to the enemy at all.

"The second island master. This was designed by the owner of the big island, and at that time, he didn't want the enemy's magic crystal cannon to bombard the city directly. lest the enemy rely on the ships to control a city. A guard next to him said cautiously.

"Day. What else can Rong Shui say about such an explanation, is he going to slap his brother in the face?

No matter how reluctant Rong Shui was, there were very few cities directly connected to the port before Marina City, just as Rong Shi thought, away from the sea, away from pirates, away from some sudden disasters. Therefore, the city is usually a little farther away from the sea, so that even if there are pirates. There will also be a certain amount of time to prepare, otherwise the losses will be great. From a point of view, Kongming's approach is undoubtedly a little ahead of its time. In Sora's view, if you build a city by the sea, you can reduce many unnecessary activities in your daily life.

On the command ship, Sima Wei walked to Kong Ming's side and said.

"Commander, a large number of demonic beasts have been found in the northern sea area eighty kilometers away, and no demonic beast herds have been found in the rest of the directions, and it has been observed that they may reach the harbor within an hour and a half to two hours. ”

"How big is the scale?" Kong Ming asked, this is a key question, if you know how many Warcraft there are, some things will be very well arranged, otherwise, the number of troops sent is really a problem, if there are more, the pressure on this side will be greater, if there are less, the troops will be insufficient, and the Warcraft tide will still not be able to stop.

"There are only four words in the intelligence. Sima Wei said.

"What four words?"

"Boundless. ”

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

There was a lot of scolding in the command cabin, and of course the first one was from Kong Ming. There is no doubt about this, the enemy's main force of demonic beasts is from the north, if the previous time Kong Ming felt that it was accidental, then this time Kong Ming really felt the horror in the sea, a beast tide will not happen once in the mainland for decades, but in the sea casually there is a beast tide, who can stand it? It is no wonder that the Huayuan Empire has never had the idea of conquering the Sixteen Islands, these neighbors are really too terrifying, at this time Kong Ming has a feeling of immediate retreat.

"Let the flying team attack immediately, and leave only a small number of personnel in the rest of the direction to monitor. Kong Ming gritted his teeth and gave an order, and the flying team that had been waiting for a long time immediately took off and flew towards the north.

"Order Lu Zhongyi to occupy Chongcheng as quickly as possible, and your navy will immediately find a way to enter the harbor and set up a defense line at the entrance and exit, which is also the only line of defense. Hemp, it's the other way around, when will I get a Warcraft tide to play. "Empty airway.

After receiving Kong Ming's order, Lu Zhongyi immediately organized the troops that had already gone ashore to quickly form a formation and prepare to capture Chongcheng, but at this time, the words of a staff officer gave Lu Zhongyi a hint of inspiration.

"General, there are many magic crystal cannons above the enemy's castle, you see. The staff officer said, pointing to the magic mirror in front of him. I saw that there was a row of magic crystal cannons above the head of Chongcheng, these cannons were more than one size larger than those of the expeditionary force, and their range was quite terrifying, as a general who had fought the beast tide on the edge of the Warcraft Forest, of course he knew the benefits of this kind of thing, and the navy had conducted a live demonstration just now. The smoke still hung over the cliffs behind him.

"Hemp, they have it, but Lao Tzu doesn't have it? Lu Zhongyi said annoyedly.

For a sixth-level warrior. The weight of a thousand catties of magic crystal cannons is really nothing, and in less than a while, all the magic crystal cannons of each division were carried over, and they were arranged in a row in front of their respective formations, and those gunners were behind. Lu Zhongyi beckoned, asked the commander of an artillery to come over and asked:

"Brother, how far can their magic crystal cannon shoot, and how far can our magic crystal cannon shoot?" You must know that an inch is long and an inch is strong, and I can beat you. You can't beat me, this is the most frustrating way for the enemy, if you say that Lu Zhongyi would definitely not ask this before, but after he heard Kong Ming's remarks about saving troops. Immediately greatly appreciated. You must know that most of these are brothers who have shared hardships with him, and he would rather spend more money than let his own brothers die.

The commander of this artillery is also quite a good guy, he looked at the enemy's magic crystal cannon standing above the city in the distance, and then looked at the appearance in the magic mirror in front of him, gestured with his hand a few times, and constantly used his hand to compare the distance from Chongcheng to here, and said: "General." According to the style of their magic crystal cannon, it should be close to the magic crystal cannon we used to install on the ship, which means that their range is about five kilometers. Well, they should be able to shoot in the middle of the enemy. And our magic crystal cannons don't look at their small size, but they have been improved by the alchemy masters in our Coastal University, the range has been doubled, and the weight has been reduced by five times, in other words, we can directly hit their city here. ”

"Professionalism is professionalism, little brother, you have made a great contribution. Order all the artillery fire to move forward two thousand meters, and Lao Tzu will hold a joyous daytime dance for them. Lu Zhongyi shouted happily.

The artillery commander next to him sneered: "I returned my brother just now, but after I used it up, I became a little brother, really, this generation has dropped too quickly." ”

Lu Zhongyi didn't pay attention to the slander of this artillery commander, of course he couldn't hear it, what he knew was that he had to take the city as much as he could, and even if he couldn't take it, he had to move forward immediately, because there was no room for a million and a half million troops in a short seaport, and they had to move forward now. Soon the artillery array was erected, and facing the head of Chongcheng, Lu Zhongyi smiled, this time it can also make him have a good time, just now it was really suffocating.

"Fire!"

He shouted personally, and in an instant, thousands of magic crystal cannons covered the entire city head of Chongcheng, only to see that at this time, a thin light curtain flashed out above the city head, flashed a few times, and then disappeared after the magic crystal cannon bombardment. Only a large cloud of smoke formed by the energy of the magic crystal was left in front of the city.

"Hemp, how is this thing so strong, go to his brother's, and beat it until it's gone. ”

As a result, a series of magic crystal artillery fire continued to bombard Chongcheng.

What Lu Zhongyi didn't know was that he was scolding, and Rong Shui even had the heart to die, this protective magic array was made according to the highest specifications they could establish, and the standard was to be able to guard against the blow of the true god, don't underestimate this blow, this is a concentrated blow, it can be seen how strong its protective ability is, but the blow of the god is only a blow after all, and the attack power of thousands of magic crystal cannons is no less than the blow of the god, but one is concentrated and the other is scattered. No matter how good the magic protection is, it can't withstand the repeated attacks of these thousands of magic crystal cannons, even if the formation can withstand it, but the energy of those magic crystals will be exhausted. So in Lu Zhongyi's excitement, under Rong Shui's scolding, the magic array was finally broken, and the last line of defense in Rong Shui's heart also collapsed. This is the last line of defense he prepared for the expeditionary force, the original plan, drag the expeditionary force at sea, let the monster eat them, if not, let them enter the harbor, and then let the monster eat, again, let the expeditionary force occupy a small piece of land, and then under the attack of the monster and them, the expeditionary force will be eaten, this step is calculated, and step by step, and there are three sets of preparatory plans, no matter which set can make the expeditionary force die, but, the expeditionary force is really not according to the routine! It turned out that there were still a few days to prepare, and there was no movement from the expeditionary force, and his project did not slow down a little, and when the expeditionary force appeared at sea. They weren't completely ready, and they wanted to use the negotiations to drag out a little time, and that damn Kong Ming was directly a cannon fire. There is no room left at all, is it really the sky that is going to kill me? Rong Shui lamented. Now it seems that there is only one last line of defense left, and that is to hold on to Chongcheng, and he wants to use more than a million people to give this expeditionary force a huge surprise! Rong Shui gritted his teeth and thought.

"Boom!"

After breaking through the protection of the magic array, the magic crystal cannon was like a huge magical beast that had escaped from its cage, unleashing all its wildness. In nearly twenty minutes, the entire head of Chongcheng was flattened by the magic crystal cannons of the expeditionary force. The defenders above the city who didn't have time to escape were all buried under the fire of the magic crystal cannons, whether they were saints or third-level swordsmen, almost the same. What Kong Ming didn't expect was that even Rong Shui was pressed underneath, although he was a high-level sage, he was not a god after all. Under the cover of such dense artillery fire. He could not escape the fate of death, and with him was the army of more than 500,000 concentrated near the city wall, because these people had never seen artillery fire of this scale, and they did not know how to protect it, they could only hold up the pitiful protective shield, so they could only turn into ashes in the face of huge firepower. And all areas under the cover of the magic crystal cannon fire were turned into flying ashes. This situation made the initiators of it stunned, they had never thought that the power of this magic crystal cannon was so great, but now was obviously not the time to stay. Within these twenty minutes, behind him. More than 300,000 soldiers have been assembled, and the rest are waiting for the people in front to give way to a place so that they can disembark.

"Goal, Chongcheng, forward!"

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

With the sound of passwords, the army of more than 300,000 people walked quickly towards Chongcheng neatly, they bypassed the magic crystal cannons that were still cooling, and walked quickly towards Chongcheng. As the army of 300,000 walked towards Chongcheng, the front side of Chongcheng at this time had already become a flat land, and the blood of the 500,000 army had dried up the fire of the magic crystal cannon, and the soil on the ground had turned into a dark red with blood powder. It's the same color for a distance of two thousand meters. The 300,000 army soon walked through this land, towards the hinterland of Chongcheng, those civilians and the remaining enemy troops had already been deterred by the artillery fire of the expeditionary force, one by one in a daze looked at the expeditionary force coming from a distance, those standing in the middle of the road The enemy army also lost the idea of resisting, such an army is too terrifying, watching the expeditionary force coming, a Chongcheng defense army soldier in front, perhaps because of the shock in his heart deprived him of the courage to resist, the sword in his hand "dang" The other soldiers followed suit and threw their swords aside, followed by more defenders throwing their swords and magic wands down, and then the enemy generals consciously led their team out of Chongcheng and gathered in a nearby clearing. They knew that from now on there would never again be that they would not fight with such an army. This time a whole 500,000 people surrendered. They didn't flee, not because they didn't have legs, but because the rocky island itself was so big, and it was the same everywhere they fled, not to mention that they also knew that the arrival of the Huayuan Empire was just to turn them from an islander into a subject of the empire, and their lives might develop in a better place, not like now, they had to fight with the demonic beasts in the sea every once in a while, and life and death were only in an instant.

Looking at the magic crystal cannon fire that lasted for more than twenty minutes, even Kong Ming was stunned, he never thought that once these magic crystal cannons were on scale, they could actually achieve this effect.

"With this kind of thing, we have a new understanding of war. Damn, I'm really in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed!" Kong Ming sighed, if he had known that this thing could be used in a centralized manner, he would not have let those demonic beasts destroy the entire navy in Marina City.

"I never thought that these magic crystal cannons could be terrifying like this after they became large!" Hai Xing sighed, no one knew the power of the magic crystal cannon better than him, but their navy was usually just dozens of magic crystal cannons fired at the same time, how could they be like Lu Zhongyi, a madman, in order to quickly break through the enemy's defense line, he actually moved all the magic crystal cannons on the warship and blasted them away.

"I think this time we can get more Warcraft, and the army will be blessed. Sima Wei sighed on the side. (To be continued......)
