272. Brave armies and strange things
In Yunlong County, the giant couldn't help but scratch his head as he watched the sudden explosions outside the city. I just shot it out!
At the head of the city of Yunlong County, more than a dozen artillery pieces were unloaded from the sea ship by Major Officer Zheng. But the cannonballs had already been almost consumed in the previous two days of fighting, and now the people below installed the cannonballs, and then the giants held them in their hands, and aimed at the places where the sea monsters were gathered to carry out precise strikes.
"Whew!"
Amid the screaming, a second round of artillery followed.
There was another violent explosion on the battlefield, and a large number of sea monsters were blown into a sky of flesh and blood.
After several rounds of artillery ploughing, a vacuum covered by cannon craters was formed between the sea monsters at the city wall and the sea monsters behind them.
"It's spectacular!"
The soldiers at the head of the city were shocked by the spectacular explosion and fire. With such a dense cannonball, the screaming sounds in the sky continued one after another, and the explosions of fire came and went, engulfing groups of sea monsters, and the terrifying shock wave blew the nearby sea monsters directly away!
The craters were layered on top of each other, but a puff of flesh filled the craters.
"What a loser!"
The pirates who came ashore were also stunned to see the continuous explosions at this time, the entire east of the city was full of explosions, and there were often dozens of cannonballs landing at the same time, even if the sea monsters were all over the mountains and fields and all over the battlefield, they were like small boats in the wind and rain at this moment, and they were about to be swallowed up by the fire of the explosion!
For them, every shell is a fabrication bureau of Yuntai County, bought back at an expensive price, and every time a cannon is fired, it is a silver shot outside, and the cannon is often pinched and hit with a finger, aiming and hitting!
But this kind of play in front of them is completely a way of fighting without money, where have they ever seen such a rich battle!
"This is the lord's support has arrived!"
As soon as Young Officer Zheng saw this style of play like a meteorite falling from the sky and a natural disaster, he knew that it must be Yuntai Wei coming!
He ran out of the city gate tower, stood on the head of the city excitedly, and looked in the direction of Menglong Mountain against the hunting sea breeze.
He was under too much pressure during this time, and now that Yuntai Wei is here, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Next to him, Liu Wu, who was dark-skinned, was also excited.
There was a cheer from the top of the city.
Like a tidal wave, the sea monster began to retreat!
Apparently a sudden burst of shelling knocked them back.
"Follow me out of the city to meet Yuntaiwei!"
Young Officer Zheng did not send people to pursue the sea monster, but his subordinates were already tired from the afternoon battle until now.
What they need most now is to eat, sleep and rest.
Moreover, although the sea monsters retreated, they did not flee in swarms, and on the bodies of these sea monsters, they could not even see fear, nor would they collapse and flee, as if there was an invisible big hand holding them in the sky, so that they were not afraid of death, and they fought tirelessly.
If he really pursued out of the city, these monsters would immediately engulf his men with a single counter-charge.
Soon, Zheng Shaoguan saw a long procession coming down from Menglong Mountain.
In their ranks, clusters of light were emitted, illuminating the main road, and it didn't take long for them to reach the city on the winding mountain road.
They were all dressed in armor, marching in formation, standing in front of them, only to feel the iron and blood rushing towards their faces, no matter what enemy could stop them from marching towards victory, this kind of confidence condensed into one, gave people a heavy pressure!
also gave Zheng Shaoguan a reassuring pill in his heart.
"What a brave and iron-blooded army!"
Seeing that the lord actually sent such an elite army, Young Officer Zheng was very happy. I just feel that this lord who has never met is really good for himself!
"Contemptible Young Officer Zheng, see the general!"
Young Officer Zheng faced the black-armored general who came on horseback and said.
"Mr. Zheng doesn't have to be polite."
Zhou Ming looked at this middle-aged man with dark skin, tall and mighty figure, and a goatee.
In the face of Zheng Shaoguan, he didn't dare to take it big, and jumped off the horse neatly.
This person is the supporter behind the lord, one-third of the military food is transported from overseas by him, and a large number of goods such as Qingcheng silk, cloth, clothing, soap, paper and pen are also shipped overseas through his sea port, as the old man of Yuntaiwei, Zhou Ming knows a lot about Zheng Shaoguan.
He picked up Zheng Shaoguan and said politely: "Mr. Zheng's name is like thunder, and when I see it today, it is extraordinary." My name is Zhou Ming, and I am the colonel and brigade commander of the first division and brigade, and Mr. Zheng should not call me a general, just call me a brigade commander. ”
"Then I'll call Brigade Commander Zhou, Brigade Commander Zhou is tired of traveling and driving, I will let people prepare a little wine in the city, and ask Brigade Commander Zhou to appreciate his face."
Young Officer Zheng looked at these elite soldiers behind Zhou Ming, and his sense of security increased greatly.
"Is there still grain and grass in the city?"
Zhou Ming asked.
"A large amount of grain and grass is hoarded in the city, enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city to eat for a year."
Young Official Zheng said arrogantly: "When the Sea Monster Rebellion first appeared, I sent people to mobilize food everywhere, and it had already filled the Chengping position in the city. ”
The wind rises at the end of Qingping.
Zheng Shaoguan has been a maritime businessman for so many years, both a businessman and a thief, and has already cultivated the insight of "knowing the world and autumn in one night".
"It's a great way to reduce logistical pressure."
Zhou Ming said happily.
Now the war is about logistics, and Qingcheng Town is far away from here, so there is less need for grain and grass, so more shells can be transported!
"Brigade Commander Zhou, shall we enter the city?"
Young Officer Zheng invited.
Zhou Ming refused: "No, at the moment of war, how can I drink, Mr. Zheng don't let me make mistakes." However, the sergeants had to prepare a full stomach for dinner first. ”
"It's easy."
Shaoguan Zheng immediately arranged for someone to go down to cook.
"Mr. Zheng, have you ever seen a wise sea monster in the sea after days of fighting?"
Upstairs at the city gate, Young Officer Zheng still prepared wine and meat for someone to send it.
While eating at the table, Si Nian took the opportunity to ask.
"Wisdom Kraken?"
Young Officer Zheng asked curiously: "I have been floating on the sea all the year round, but I have heard that there is a merman clan in the sea, and they have the same wisdom as humans.
I also heard that a conch has become a spirit, and it has turned into a human girl, and the blood that flows out after being cut by a knife will turn into a beautiful pearl after coagulation.
There are also sea spirits, who can sing beautifully, can guide people out of the misty seas, and can also confuse people into plunging headlong into the deep ocean.
But I've never seen any of this, and I've always thought of it as a myth. ”
"In today's world, anything bizarre and strange can happen, and any strange creature can appear.
What Mr. Zheng said is not necessarily groundless.
Just as the Kraken was retreating, our people heard a sound from the sea, and after this sound sounded, the Kraken quickly retreated into the sea. ”
Si Nian said.
"Voice?"
Young Officer Zheng frowned, he didn't hear any sound.
Si Nian explained: "It is a sound that cannot be heard by humans, I consulted the master of Yuntai University, and they said that this is a sound wave that is beyond the area that humans can capture, and it is called infrasound or ultrasound.
And in my town guard's mansion, there is an Inhuman who can hear the voice of the intelligent sea monster. ”
Zheng Shaoguan was relieved when he heard this.
Zhou Ming swallowed the food in his mouth, and proposed: "Let that stranger listen to the voice tomorrow and judge the direction, once the direction is determined, the artillery battalion will immediately cover the bombardment once, and see if this intelligent sea monster can be blown up!" ”
"You can give it a try."
Si Nian nodded.
Wise sea monsters often hide in the sea and never go ashore, and there are a large number of sea monsters around them to protect them, so it is extremely difficult to capture!
"Chu Chu, you will observe in the air tomorrow, if you really hit that wisdom sea monster, whether you live or die, you must bring it back as soon as possible."
Si Nian and Bai Chuchu said.
"Good!"
Chu Chu, who was bowing his head to pick up rice, heard this, and hurriedly raised his head in response.
As the person recommended by Ruan Tang, Si Nian also looked up to Chu Chu, and came over for dinner and brought her with him.
At this time, Zheng Shaoguan recommended and said: "Let Zhang Shan also go······ Zhang Shan is that giant, and I have an alien under me who has fish gills and can control water called Peggy, and I will let her go with me when the time comes.
In addition, I have a strange thing here, which I just gave to Brigade Commander Zhou and the envoy of Si Zhen first······ Sour Peach, go to my library and bring the bamboo box at the bottom of the second row of bookcases. ”
While eating and chatting, it didn't take long for Sour Peach to go to the city and move a bamboo box.
Young Officer Zheng personally opened the box, fumbled in the box, and took out the ······ He took out a thin rope with a knot on it.
"Ah······h
Si Nian was puzzled.
saw Zheng Shaoguan shake slightly, as if picking up an invisible piece of clothing, and draped it on his body.
"Oh!!"
Exclaimed.
Young Officer Zheng's body disappeared, leaving only one head exposed, as if only one head was floating in the air!
If it weren't for this series of demonstrations, the sudden sight of such a human head would not have scared people!
"This is a strange thing I got overseas in a place called Posa Island, which is not very big, but there are four or five small countries on it, and they fight wars all year round.
When we had come ashore and exchanged supplies with one of the small nations, they saw that I had a large number of men and that they were fair and kind to them, so they took out this strange thing and begged us to help them in their war.
According to them, they peeled off the skin of an inhuman who could become invisible! ”
Young Officer Zheng briefly said the origin of this strange thing, and then reached out behind him and pulled it on his head, and suddenly his head disappeared under the witness of everyone!
"However, the sound of breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow is there, and it just deceives our eyes."
Si Nian looked in the direction of Young Official Zheng and said.
Zhou Ming praised: "Even so, it is a good strange thing, I have never seen it before, and I have never heard of it." ”
Young Officer Zheng took off his cloak, and the rope tied to the inside also reappeared, and he carried the rope: "This is the style of a cloak, if it weren't for this rope, it would be difficult to find this cloak if it was lost." ”
"Chu Chu, this cloak will be given to you to wear tomorrow."
Si Nian said.
"Huh~"
Chu Chu couldn't help but pout.
She had heard it all just now, it was made of human skin!
However, in the face of Si Nian's stern eyes, she still responded with a gentle "oh".
Si Nian also thought about her safety.
For one night, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade took turns guarding the city.
The scouts released drones and continuously monitored the sea area over the coast to prevent sea monsters from taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack.
In the past few days, the sea monster has really stopped all night, which also makes it rare for Zheng Shaoguan and his subordinates to get a good night's sleep.
The people of the city also had a rare good night's sleep.
The sea monster besieging the city, the roar outside the city every day, and the fierce battle on the city wall, all challenged the fragile nerves of the people in the city.
And the military discipline of Yuntai Wei also left a deep and beautiful impression on them.
Early the next morning,
The sea is calm.
At the head of the city, Zheng Shaoguan crowded next to the Yuntai Wei scout, looking at the clear picture thousands of meters away from the drone on the large display in amazement.
On this screen, he could even see that under this seemingly calm sea, there was an incalculable figure crawling in the shadows.
"How many sea monsters are there!"
He couldn't help but exclaim.
"How many other sea vessels does Mr. Zheng have?"
Zhou Ming walked over and ate two big buns in his hands.
"There are still 12 fleets going to sea, 17 in the southern ports, 7 more on Powan Island, 7 in the port in Ningyang Province, and 43 in total.
This time there were also 17 ships lost. ”
Young Officer Zheng calculated for Zhou Ming, and said melancholy: "Now it seems that this is still a treacherous storm, and it is also unknown whether it can sail on the sea in the future." ”
"So we must grasp some intelligent sea monsters, understand things in the sea, and know the details of the enemy, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy, and formulate the next response strategy."
Si Nian said: "For the study of sea monsters, when the first village slaughter incident occurred, Ren Dudu gave this task to the Town Guard Mansion and the Divine Arrow Division. ”
When Zheng Shaoguan heard this, he praised in the direction of Yuntai County: "The lord is far-sighted, moves for the overall situation, and plans for eternity." ”
Until the afternoon, the sea was quiet.
However, with drones cruising at low altitudes on the sea, every move of these sea monsters under the surface of the water is under the control of Yuntaiwei, and no one is afraid of looking at the calm and unknown sea anymore.
Looking at these drones, Zheng Shaoguan was extremely greedy!
However, this thing is completely restricted from being bought and sold, and he has no place to buy it if he has money.
"There's a voice!!"
Li Zijie, who had been sitting cross-legged on the wall, meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
The next moment, everyone also saw that the calm sea began to boil.
"Where's the direction?"
Si Nian hurriedly asked.
"16 miles away, with me as the center, at 12 o'clock."
Li Zijie pointed forward.
