Chapter 985: The Sea and the Sky
Su Jing looked at the mood of the people around him and felt funny. In the past two years, everyone's attention has been attracted to the Great Holy Mountain, and all the forces are no exception, and many masters have taken their troops to the vicinity of the Great Holy Mountain to observe the movements of the Demon Gate.
Everyone knows that with the strength of the family, the demon gate cannot be demolished. But you can't let the Demon Gate develop, in the past few years, the Eastern Qin people have done a lot of damage in the Great Holy Mountain, to the point of making the Demon Gate angry.
However, outside the Great Holy Mountain, the people of Eastern Qin were unusually united, and the Demon Gate counterattacked hundreds of times, but none of them were cheap.
Because inside the Demon Gate, it is not like Dong Qin, where it can be cooperating seamlessly, even if it is temporary.
The power of the Daomen is against each other, and you can live or die, but when it comes to outsiders, it is definitely concentric. Because from a monastic point of view, the benefits of doing so will be maximized.
Any act of cooperating with people outside the Dao Sect and using any means against the Dao Sect is equivalent to being brain-dead in the minds of Qi Refiners.
This was the case when the demon gate was cleared back then, and it was also the same when the hundred schools of thought were targeted later. The infighting between the Daomen, even if it is to the point of life and death, no one cooperates with the forces outside the Daomen.
Therefore, the Daomen established the Eastern Qin Dynasty and drove the rest of the forces out of the empire's territory.
When the door is open, you can basically rest assured. Everyone has some ideas about Lin Hengshan, that is because of the secret of Lin Hengshan's military background, many strong people know the Tao, but no one will publicize it.
If Lin Hengshan is weak, he can still do it. Lin Hengshan's realm has obviously reached the pinnacle of this world's realm, and he is a first-class person, who hasn't had trouble finding this trouble.
Taking a step back, the sea and the sky were wide, and he gave up his plan to face the Demon Gate of the Great Holy Mountain alone. The situation was immediately different. I have the spare strength to form a core force in this campaign, and together with my master, I will conquer the Fishman Empire.
The matter of the Demon Gate, the pressure is shared, and I have no worries. And the secret is leaked. The Great Holy Mountain did not fall into the hands of other families, and was still controlled by the Demon Gate.
The various celebrations and ceremonies that followed, even if they were brief, were busy all day.
Many families, Dao Palace, have long prepared their armies on the front line of the Great Wall. Only Su Jing, one of his own troops, was in the underground lake south of Wushuang City. In the center of the sea eye, ready to go.
This sea eye communicates with the depths of the sea, and Su Jing has explored it clearly in the past two years, and the exit is located in the East China Sea, which has penetrated 300,000 miles. This is a wonderful formation formed between heaven and earth, and it does not need to consume any vitality, as long as it passes through the sea eye, it can be reached directly.
Underwater fleet. When you don't activate the Escape Formation, you can walk less than four thousand miles in a day. How long does it take to travel 300,000 miles? It will take more than two months.
Su Jing and Su Mu went on the expedition this time. Two people as pioneers. Amateur Long commanded the Chinese army, and Tang He was responsible for logistics scheduling. Mu Yinyan commanded the mobile troops, and the eldest princess was worry-free as the nominal commander and did nothing. The only thing she has to do is to continue for Su Jing and the others when facing an enemy that is too strong.
Kirin Pill is quite a powerful skill. This skill is the only spell that Jiang Yan has passed on to his children, and it is also a spell that does not belong to this world.
Su Jing's army will not cooperate with Lin Hengshan, but has its own goals. It was a fish-man city with a population of less than a billion people. It's called Tianxi City.
The reason why Tianxi City has become the target of Su Jing is that it is relatively close to the exit of Haiyan. The second is that there are no other fish-man cities in this vicinity, and the situation is relatively isolated.
In the Fish-Man Empire, there are no villages, and all the fish-people gather around the city. Fish-people are also not good at farming, grazing fish and picking seaweed and other marine plants for food.
Marine plants grow quickly and are rich in nutrients, but even if the sea is so vast, it is impossible for the fish-people to grow indefinitely.
There is a limit to how many people can fit in each city, depending on the size of the surrounding area suitable for grazing and harvesting. There are many volcanoes around Tianxi City, and the sea area is relatively narrow, but it is deep enough and rich in species, which can feed more than a billion fishmen.
There are more monsters in the sea than on land, some are huge in size and strong in individuality, and some are small in size and can easily act together in hundreds of millions. For the fish-people, these are also threats. The Fishman Empire is unified, but the city defenses of each city are still very strong, and that is to prevent the attack of demon beasts.
The relationship between fish people and monsters is one of hunting for each other.
Su Jing's fleet appeared south of Tianxi City, about seven hundred miles away. This is an undersea mountain range, pitch black, and from top to bottom, there are dark red rock patterns on the black ridges of the mountains.
At the exit of Haiyan, in the belly of a huge mountain, Su Jing had already carved a way out, expanding the original mountain cracks so that large warships could also enter and exit.
In the belly of the mountain, Su Jing also built battle towers to strengthen the space here. In fact, as the exit of the sea eye, the rock here is harder than the steel that has been refined, and Su Jing just built a huge fortress complex here, just in case, so that even if a strong earthquake occurs, this place will not collapse.
In the past two years, in order to open up the sea eye and not alarm the Fishman Empire, Su Jing has carried out a lot of construction work around here. Because of the lack of vitality here, even the fish detoured, and for the fishmen, this place was more desolate than the desert. Therefore, Su Jing has been active for two years and has not been discovered by the fishmen.
Su Jing touched 600,000 people at a time, wanting to destroy a fish-man city with a population of one billion.
This ratio ......
Su Jing himself felt cold, the plan was good, but it still depends on the individual weapons developed in the past few years. The fortress hidden in the surrounding mountains operated, and large pieces of equipment were carried down from the battleship by puppets, thrown into the flat roof of the fortress, assembled, and then charged with formations.
These war weapons are not warships that can go on expeditions, but weapons that attack within three thousand miles, and they themselves do not have high-grade jade as an energy source, but on these large weapons, they are arranged with charging formations, and they can fight within a radius of three thousand miles at one time, and the time to fight at the farthest target is up to six hours.
This kind of design makes Su Jing's batch of battle array ancient soldiers cheap, but the disadvantage is that the service life is not long enough, and the advantage is that it is easy to maintain.
On the east side of the mountain, a series of submarine giant batships have been charged, with flexible wings with a width of 40 zhang, spread flat on the mountain, and the inside of this giant batship is all carrying weapons, and only a hundred soldiers can stand behind it, plus 900 puppets.
Four hundred giant batships, carrying 40,000 soldiers, this is the vanguard, and then, there are sea shuttle ships, this kind of warships are assembled in the second wave and charged. Each seashuttle ship can accommodate up to ten soldiers and ninety puppets.
Then there are the Water Demon Six ships, underwater chariots, giant snail cavalry, minelaying ships, commanding Shenmu ships, crystal iron battle towers, wing dragoons, giant turtle archers......
All the soldiers who arrived, the first to arrive, were directly arranged to rest on the large battleship in the rear, and rested for a whole day, and then arranged for the giant batship.
600,000 soldiers, of whom 200,000 were put into battle, and the rest, all on standby in the mountains.
This time the forward was led by Ying Yang, and the giant batship put in three hundred, and the other hundred were on standby in the rear of the army. The army slowly floated from the mountains and quickly pounced on Tianxi City.
It's not that Su Jing is arrogant, there are many fish people in Tianxi City, but there are only more than one million soldiers. No matter how many fishmen there are without equipment, there is a huge difference between them and the army.
He didn't come to conquer the fishmen, he came to slaughter.
Tianxi City, too far away from the Eastern Qin, the fishmen who are far away here, have no concept of war at all, when the giant batship appeared, because there was no strong demonic qi fluctuation on the giant batship, the patrol soldiers in the western city that day ignored it at all. The city formation did not call the police, because the level of the formation was too low, and the state of war had not been reached here, and most of the fishmen had no defense.
The human soldiers on the giant batship came to the top of Tianxi City and patrolled to the lower part of the city, but there was no response?
The minelayer then arrives and throws various thunderballs at the bottom of the mine. This thunderball can only be used after charging, and it is not very useful in ground warfare, but it is a very practical weapon in underwater warfare.
Thousands of thunderballs were evenly ejected. On that day, the terrain of Xicheng was complicated, the core area was an abyss under Xianglu, with a depth of more than ten miles, a large number of fish-man factories were arranged here, and at the bottom of the abyss, there was a volcano, which could extract earth fire for refining.
This is also the largest source of income for Tianxi City, with more than three million skilled workers working here, and the number of weapons crafted every day is enough to arm a large army of Su Jing.
This is the only place in Tianxi City where the war is going on, because the fish-man city that is closer to here has placed too many orders.
The thunderball was thrown into the abyss, and around the abyss, there was a military camp for the fishmen, and to the west, it was the fish-man aristocratic area.
East of the abyss, that's where the civilians are.
Su Jing himself didn't expect it to go so smoothly, there was a unique building of the fish-man below, a square boulder, a cave was opened around the boulder, and the house was excavated inward. Giants never use bricks or tiles, and in the sea, those don't make sense.
Even if it is developed in a large city, the fish-people still like to burrow. When Su Jing's battleship pounced on the attack, a fish-man patrol group of up to 1,000 people finally appeared, and on the giant bat ship, a huge metal disc launched a swallowtail-shaped shuttle dart, drifting in the water, spinning, drawing a strange arc, shooting at the fishman below the lu.
This weapon is the most successful of all experimental long-range weapons, because it is cheap to build, and Su Jing even researched a device for individual launches.
The length of the dovetail pike dart is only one foot, the edge is sharp metal, the middle part is wood, and the top is the simplest formation, and after the instrument is charged, it can be projected. (To be continued......)
