Chapter 31: The Ming Yuan (4)
As a member of the navy, Hu Yuanxing is a fire sage, that is, a fire attribute Jindan monk, before joining the expeditionary force, he was only a seventh-level swordsman, and he has been wandering at this level for five years, you must know that the longer you wander at a level, the later the breakthrough, the lower the chance of breaking through, which makes him embarrassed by the genius who has always been called a genius in the small city? So after hearing that Binhai City had established an expeditionary force, he directly handed over the last magic crystal on his body to the guards of the teleportation array, allowing him to teleport directly to Binhai City, and here he joined the expeditionary force smoothly, and when entering, each of them needed to fill out a form, which had all the specialties for everyone to choose, because he was confused about whether it would be water on the word, because he grew up by the river since he was a child, it is common to enter the river in three days and toss two ends, and what makes him even happier is that after every practice, he has to jump into the water to enjoy it, So this item is not a difficult option, but his fate has changed since then, because there are not too many people who fill in this item, not everyone can swim, so he was assigned to the navy and became one of them, and when he arrived in the navy, he knew that being able to swim does not mean that he could become a qualified naval soldier, and the people of the navy need all kinds of knowledge, even more than magicians, so he began to continue to learn all kinds of basic knowledge of the navy, star maps, direction identification, the use of magic crystal cannons, etc., a lot of knowledge about sea travel, it can be said that he spent a long time in this situation. Of course, this is also because he is a gunner, and he needs to know this, if it is another profession. There's something else to know. However, what touched him was that the expeditionary force did not let their cultivation lag behind because of this, whether it was the Sage Project or the Transformation of the Divine One, the navy did not fall behind a single step. And taking advantage of this momentum, Hu Yuanxing also transformed into a monk, plus the power of those pills. Let him also directly become a sage, if it weren't for the fact that this kind of medicine would have made these seventh-level warriors rank two levels in a row, it would have made their foundation very unstable. The expeditionary force will literally turn all of them into gods.
Hu Yuanxing is now a gunner in the navy, and he and three other people are in charge of the operation of a magic crystal cannon, and he is mainly responsible for aiming and firing.
"Lao Hu, do you feel that there is a change in the direction of the current voyage?" said Li Yuancan next to him. He is also a fire-type sword master. He is from the same squad as Hu Yuanxing, that is, his comrade-in-arms of the same gun, and he is responsible for the loading of ammunition.
"Well, it looks like we've changed course. Hu Yuanxing looked at the sun that did not set in the sky, most of the time, they used the sun and stars to determine the course, which is a basic skill of sailors, and in this class. The relationship between the two is the best, that is, they have more common words.
Four people from a class stood next to the Magic Crystal Cannon. They were all looking in the direction of the big way, and it was clear that that was where they were going.
"Team leader, I remember that we should be heading east, why have we changed course now?" asked Hu Yuanxing.
"There's really no way to answer that question, but now we'll see, and I think it won't be long before we know what's going on. "Unlike the personnel in the command headquarters, who are always concerned about the battlefield situation, the soldiers at the grassroots level rarely have access to this kind of thing, and once they see the enemy, it is the beginning of their hand-to-hand combat.
"I guess there's been a change in the plan, well, it looks like the mission has come. The deputy on the side said. As a cannon squad, their numbers are usually very small, one squad leader, one deputy squad leader, one aim, and one loader are four people.
After the squad leader finished speaking, he saw an officer behind them standing on the deck and shouted to everyone, "Attention squads, right string, six thousand meters ahead, there is a demon approaching, wait until the enemy enters the firing range, shoot freely." ”
"That seems to be the squadron leader?" Li Yuancan wondered, although he was also a saint, and his eyes were also very vain, but because he was not too familiar with the squadron leader, and everyone on the ship was wearing military uniforms, he couldn't see too clearly from a certain distance.
"That's the squadron leader, brothers, now the mission is here, prepare. Six kilometers in front of the target, seven hundred gauges, thirty or zero directions. Bursting bomb preparation. ”
For a while, Hu Yuanxing directly adjusted all the aiming, and aimed the magic crystal cannon at the desired place, while Li Yuancan directly loaded the shells of the magic crystal cannon into the barrel, and the squad deputy was sorting out the shells on the side, he needed to sort out the shells in the box, and then assemble them, because these shells are all disassembled, and they will only be assembled together during battle, and once assembled, they must be shot out, or destroyed, and they will not be put back again.
At the same time, in all corners of the ship, many squadrons received such orders, and the entire warship was set on fire in an instant, and all of them moved, and the sound of passwords, reloads, and heralds were all mixed together.
The distance of six thousand meters is not a very long distance for the magic crystal cannon, although it is said that because of technical limitations, the current magic crystal cannon can hit a position of ten thousand meters at most. However, in order to make the magic crystal cannon group more powerful, the navy directly put the demon closer to fight.
"Put!"
"Boom!"
With the firing of the first base gun, the entire right chord was blasted out.
"Boom! boom!"
In a place that cannot be seen in the distance, it keeps ringing.
"Squad leader, can't you see it! Have we hit?" Hu Yuanxing asked, as a gunner, it was not the first time he had fired artillery, but every time he hit the cannon and couldn't see the result, he always had some drumming in his heart, which was fundamentally different from the phenomenon of going straight and looking directly when they fought in the battle array, although he knew that this was caused by natural reasons. But after all, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Isn't it the same as asking you?" said the squad leader angrily.
At this time, the squadron leader's voice came again:
"Add thirty to the ruler. Directions thirty, eleven. ”
"The ruler is thirty, the direction is thirty, and the eleven is eleven. Burst bombs, put!" The squad leader also continued on the side, this is almost not much difference before and after, and the squadron leader finished speaking. The squad leader also finished the song, and in this process, Hu Yuanxing also completely set the corresponding parameters.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The artillery fire of the entire right chord was corrected once. Launch it again.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
It wasn't long before the sound of an explosion sounded again.
"Really, just calling back and forth like this, I just don't know the effect. It's really embarrassing. Li Yuancan said angrily. Whether it is Dou Qi, flying swords or magic, it is generally within the line of sight, not only can you see countless demons roaring around, but you can also see those magic tearing the demons into pieces, and the Dou Qi splitting the demons in half, whether it is visual or auditory, it can make people have great enjoyment, although it is more nervous, helpless and helpless. But it's better than what you can't hear here.
"Well, this mentality of yours has to change. We're artillerymen now, not infantry, and we should be glad we don't see those demons, otherwise melee combat is just around the corner. Hu Yuanxing sighed, once they fought in close combat, then they couldn't be so comfortable.
"Hehe, you two are really, whether you can see or can't see, you are on the battlefield, what do you want to do so much? Just follow the order, if we can't fight, there will be instructions from above. The squad leader laughed as he pointed his finger to the sky, either way, both of which were just attitudes towards life.
"Team leader, let's even think of a war like this?" Li Yuancan said unpleasantly.
"Where do you get so much trouble? just hit you, we miss, someone in the sky will show us the target, and it's not our turn to worry about this thing. For this stunned man, the squad leader was a little annoyed, although now the artillery fire has never stopped, and the huge sound of artillery has also made their ears suffer a huge test, but their level is too high, these things are not enough to affect their words and deeds, at this time, Li Yuancan's chattering personality makes him, the squad leader, a little unbearable.
"Really, it's just a couple of extra words, do you need that?" Li Yuancan muttered.
"What are you talking about?" the squad leader really couldn't stand his character anymore, and asked sharply.
"No... didn't say anything, just said that the squad leader was wise and martial, and he was promoted to the god rank early. Li Yuancan defended, but the voice in the back became quieter, and the squad leader's ears stretched out a lot, and when he heard the next few words, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, sycophants have their use at any time.
"Alas, I still have some skills, otherwise that team leader doesn't know what to do, whew!" Li Yuancan slandered, he has been under the hands of the squad leader for nearly a year, but he knows how powerful the other party is, if it is not his fist, it is better not to come to this kind of taboo thing, otherwise it will be a fight on the table, he can't beat the other party, even if he can beat the other party, he can't really do it, after all, the feelings of the past year are here.
At this time, although the whole class said that they were distracted and talking, the work in their hands did not stop, this is something that their group of saints have been training for a long time, so they will not be mistaken at all because of this kind of thing.
"Attention to all personnel, the target and direction remain the same, continue the attack. ”
The squadron leader continued.
At this time, several screens in the command headquarters were showing the actions of the Navy.
"Commander, it doesn't seem that the effect is too obvious, you see that some of the demons have begun to move towards Mingyuan Island. Zhuge Yibu said, and it was shown on the screen that some of the demons had followed the navy for a while, and then left the direction of the navy and headed towards Mingyuan Island.
"Well, this is not the way to go, maybe the demon can't see them, so he has no interest in attacking. If this continues, more and more demons will follow, and then we will not be able to meet our requirements in advance. Alexander said. It is a fact that when the attraction of the navy is not enough for these demons to rush through, then the plan fails.
"Connect with Sun Gongfeng!" Kong Ming said that this does need to change.
"Commander, what are your instructions?" Sun Gongfeng's picture was displayed on the screen.
"I believe you are well aware of the situation, if we continue like this, we will not achieve the goal we expected before the war, and I hope that you will immediately take some measures to completely divert the demon away. Don't let them get any closer to Mingyuan Island!" Kong Ming said.
"Yes, Commander, we will take measures immediately. Sun Gongfeng replied. If it goes on like this, they have to think of a way, the warship can go, but Mingyuan Island can't go, so Kong Ming will let them lure that part of the demons away. In this way, the pressure on Mingyuan Island can be greatly reduced.
"I await your good news. After Kong Ming finished speaking. He turned his head directly, walked to a corner of the headquarters, and looked at the sea outside, the waves were stormy, the waves were surging and the tide was surging, and I really didn't know what it would be like in the future.
On the command ship of the navy, Sun Gongfeng and Haixing looked at each other. "Looks like we're going to need to rush into the demon horde now," said the sea traveler. Otherwise, those demons wouldn't have followed our path. ”
"It's not necessary, the main thing is that we don't let the demons see our people, so that they always think that the front is empty, there is no one, so they will gradually get out of our attraction, if we let them get closer, then they will definitely chase after us, you know, whether it is a human or a demon has blindness, in the battle of the team, they will only follow the people in front of them, and nothing else, not to mention, the nature of the demon determines that they do not have much wisdom when they are at a low level, more instinct. Have you ever heard of a sheep herder? The sheep herder only needs to take the first sheep with him, and the other sheep will naturally follow him, without any other action. Sun Gongfeng said, this is a very common truth, but also a very real truth, although most people understand this sentence, but this does not mean that they can live and learn, this is the difference between learning and learning.
"Well, that's right, order all the ships to reduce their speed and keep a distance of about a thousand meters from the enemy. Sun Gong's order was quickly given.
"Isn't a thousand meters a little closer? In this case, our ships will lose a lot of money. Hai Xing asked, a thousand meters is almost within the range of the Divine and the Saint's attack, so this is a huge test for the sea ship.
"It's a test, but it's only at a distance of a thousand meters, the demons can see our human warships, they can cast magic, and if they can't see clearly, they won't attack, so how can we attract them? As for the warships, the wooden warships cannot be saved, and the steel warships also need to undergo a huge test, and I believe that the technology of our warships should have no problems. Sun Gongfeng sighed, this is also a matter of no way, pinning the key to a matter on an item is really not a good way, but helplessly, it seems that this is the best choice now, and the method of rushing in directly will not work, because it is easy to go in and difficult to get out, and these warships can not withstand the impact of waves of demons.
The sea line next to him had to sigh, after all, now he is no longer the commander of the navy, but the deputy commander, the decision is not in his hands, and in the blink of an eye, his method is indeed wrong, if he follows his actions, then the possible effect is that the navy will fight with the demon directly in this place for a few days and nights, and then the whole army will be wiped out, of course, if it is better to follow the emergency plan, you can also escape a lot of wounded, but after all, the loss is too great. He didn't know that after Sun Gongfeng took over the navy, he had spent a period of time studying the battle examples commanded by Kong Ming, and in order to get familiar with Kong Ming, he also specially invited those partners who had fought side by side with Kong Ming to talk about their views on Kong Ming, of course, it was a dinner on the surface. He realized that Kong Ming is a very easy person to get along with, and he doesn't lose his temper for no reason, but if you are in battle, unless you have a reason to convince him in a very short time, don't challenge his authority. As long as that's the case, almost everyone who has worked under Kong Ming is very much in favor of Kong Ming, as far as that. To dominate one side, act as a warlord or something, Kong Ming didn't even think about it, this is very clear from the fact that the soldiers Kong Ming has been using are not cultivated by himself, but more given by others. And Kong Ming is just bringing more people together to achieve his own goals. It is also because of this that Sun Gongfeng dares to do this, because as long as he completes the task given by Kong Ming. Kong Ming has never been too concerned about other things.
The order reached the ships at great speed, and the wooden ships that had fallen behind began to be arranged according to plan. In the event of any situation, they will leave the ship with a flying sword or teleportation array. And almost all at the same time, the speed of all the ships slowed down.
"Head, it looks like the speed of our ship has slowed down. It's not half as good as it used to be!" Hu Yuanxing asked. This situation made him very strange, what was the reason for this, and why did the ship slow down when it didn't break down?
"It's down, maybe there is something on it, don't think too much, just carry out our task. The squad leader said. Every military operation is divided into a number of steps, and each step is divided among many people to carry out, if in peacetime. Then it is generally possible to convey the entire order to everyone, but if it is wartime. Under normal circumstances, it will be directly conveyed to the hands of the first-level commander, and for each soldier, they only need to perform the corresponding tasks according to the commander's orders. And for various reasons, military orders sometimes have a corresponding level when they are issued, because only in this way can certain military secrets be maintained, so that the secrets of an army can be guaranteed. And an army without secrets is not far from extinction.
"Team leader, look, those guys from the Marine Corps are out!" Li Yuancan said, and when the speed slowed down, although it was in the midst of the sound of artillery, he could still hear countless running sounds.
"yes, how can this be? Did you start hand-to-hand combat with the demons? Not so fast, didn't you see a single demon shadow?" muttered to the squad leader. Not only the people of their class, but all of them were confused by this sudden action, but although their people were confused, the movements of their hands did not stop, and the sound of artillery still kept bombarding the direction of the enemy.
"Head, you see the protective shield is open!" said the active Li Yuancan, pointing ahead. Everyone turned their heads from the direction of the running sound, and sure enough, they saw a thin shield opened, and there was some blue in front of it, because now it is above the sea, and the water element is the most sufficient, so all the boats are equipped with the protective shield of the water system as standard, of course, due to the particularity of the design, these protective shields are not protected from the outside, that is to say, from the inside can still continue to attack the outside, and the outside cannot be brought in.
"Hemp, what the hell is going on?" Hu Yuanxing couldn't understand something, and the others didn't know it very well, but the fastest reaction among the four people was the squad leader.
"Brothers, you will soon see the demons. There was some excitement in the squad leader's words, you must know that since the battle with the demon, most of them are flying teams and they fight against the demon, as for the navy and marines, they have almost never seen what the demon is like, of course, there is more on the film.
"What's the matter, squad leader?" Li Yuancan still looked unknown, and he didn't know how his sage cultivated, and the other two people reacted after hearing the squad leader's words, this is about to engage in melee combat with demons, only this Li Yuancan still looks unknown.
"Well, maybe we're going to fish for demons. The squad leader smiled, he was a guy who had been on the battlefield for decades, he originally thought that the seventh level was over, and he should retire in a year or two, and he would retire and retire, who knew that a paper order made him directly demoted from the first mate of a small ship to the squad leader of a large ship, but it was precisely because of this that he became a sage from a seventh-level great sword master.
"How?" said the other three.
"Hehe, just watch it, there will be a good show in a while. The squad leader said mysteriously. (To be continued......)
