Behind me is the earth

Chapter 274 272. Brave Army and Rare Objects

In Yunlong County, the giant looked at the sudden explosions outside the city and couldn't help scratching his head. He just fired a shot!

At the top of the city in Yunlong County now, there are more than a dozen artillery pieces that Master Zheng unloaded from ships. But the cannonballs had been almost consumed in the previous two days of fighting. Now the people below were installing the cannonballs, and then the giants held them in their hands, aiming at the places where the sea monsters gathered, and then carried out precise strikes.

"call out!"

Amid the screams, the second round of artillery followed closely.

Another violent explosion occurred on the battlefield, and a large number of sea monsters were blown into flesh and blood all over the sky.

After several rounds of artillery plowing, a vacuum area covered by artillery pits was formed between the sea monster at the city wall and the sea monster behind.

“It’s spectacular!”

The soldiers on the city were shocked by the spectacular explosion and fire. Such dense shells, screaming sounds in the sky one after another, explosions of fire one after another, swallowing up groups of sea monsters, and terrifying shock waves blowing away nearby sea monsters!

The cannon pits are stacked one on top of another, but they are filled with piles of flesh and blood.

"What a waste!"

The pirates who came ashore were dumbfounded at the continuous explosions. There were explosions everywhere in the east of the city, and dozens of shells landed at the same time. Even the sea monsters all over the mountains and fields, all over the battlefield, seemed like Like a boat in the storm, it will be engulfed by the explosion of fire!

To them, every cannonball was bought by Yuntai County at a high price. Every time they fired a cannon, they were making money. When firing, they usually fired with their fingers and aimed at the target!

But this kind of fight is completely free of charge. How have they ever seen such a wealthy fight!

"This is the arrival of my lord's support!"

As soon as Mr. Zheng saw this attack, which was like a meteorite falling from the sky or a natural disaster, he knew that the Yuntai Guards must be coming!

He ran out of the city gate tower and stood excitedly on the top of the city, facing the sea breeze and looking in the direction of Menglong Mountain.

He was under too much pressure during this period. Now that Yuntaiwei is here, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief!

Next to him, the dark-skinned Liu Wu was also excited.

A burst of cheers came from the top of the city.

Like a tidal wave, the sea monster begins to retreat!

Apparently a sudden burst of shelling drove them back.

"Follow me out of the city to meet Yuntaiwei!"

Master Zheng did not send anyone to chase the sea monster. In fact, all of his men were already exhausted from the fighting in the afternoon.

What they need most now is to eat, sleep and rest.

Moreover, although the sea monsters retreated, they did not flee in a swarm. There was no fear in these sea monsters, nor did they collapse and flee. It was as if there was an invisible big hand holding them in the sky, making them invincible. A fearless charge and a tireless battle.

If they really pursue him out of the city, these monsters will immediately engulf his men with just one countercharge.

Soon, Master Zheng saw a long team coming down from Menglong Mountain.

Their team emitted clusters of light, illuminating the road. On the winding mountain road, it didn't take long to reach the city.

They all put on armor and walked in line. Standing in front of them, they felt the iron-blooded evil spirit rushing towards their faces. No enemy could stop them from marching towards victory. This kind of confidence united into one gave people heavy pressure!

It also gave Zheng Shaoguan a reassurance in his heart.

"What a brave and iron-blooded army!"

Seeing that his lord actually sent such an elite army, Master Zheng was very happy. I just felt that this lord I had never met before really treated me well!

"I, Mr. Zheng, come to see the general!"

Master Zheng faced the black-armored general coming on horseback and said with a bow.

"Mr. Zheng, there is no need to be polite."

Zhou Ming looked at this dark-skinned, tall and majestic middle-aged man with a goatee.

Facing Mr. Zheng, he did not dare to take any action and jumped off the horse neatly.

This man is the supporter behind the lord. One-third of the military rations are shipped from overseas through him. A large number of goods such as Qingcheng silk, cloth, ready-made clothes, soap, paper and pens are also shipped through his seaport. Overseas, as an old man of Yuntai Guard, Zhou Ming knew a lot about Mr. Zheng.

He helped Master Zheng up and said politely: "Mr. Zheng's name is like thunder. When I see him today, he is really extraordinary. My name is Zhou Ming, and I am the colonel and commander of the first division and first brigade. Mr. Zheng, don't call me general, call me brigade commander." Can."

"Then I'll call Brigadier Zhou. Brigadier Zhou is tired from traveling and traveling. I'll ask someone to prepare a small amount of wine in the city, and I'll ask Brigadier Zhou to show his respect."

Master Zheng looked at the elite soldiers behind Zhou Ming, and felt a sense of security in his heart.

"Is there still food and grass in the city?"

Zhou Ming asked.

"There is a large amount of food and grass stored in the city, enough to feed the entire city's soldiers and civilians for a year."

Zheng Shaoguan said proudly: "When the sea monster rebellion first appeared, I sent people to collect food from everywhere, and the Chengping warehouse in the city had already been filled."

The wind rises at the end of Qingping.

Zheng Shaoguan has been a maritime merchant for so many years, doing business and stealing, and has already developed the insight of "knowing the autumn of the world by one night and one color".

"This is very good and can greatly reduce the logistical pressure."

Zhou Ming said happily.

Nowadays, the battle is all about logistics, and Qingcheng Town is far away from here. If the demand for food and grass is reduced, more artillery shells can be transported!

"Brigadier Zhou, shall we enter the city?"

Master Zheng invited.

Zhou Ming refused: "No, there is no way to drink alcohol during the war. Mr. Zheng, please don't let me make mistakes. However, the sergeants have been working hard all the way, so they should prepare a dinner to fill their stomachs first."

"This is simple."

Mr. Zheng immediately arranged for someone to cook.

"Mr. Zheng, during the continuous battle, have you ever seen an intelligent sea monster in the sea?"

Upstairs at the city gate, Master Zheng still prepared wine and meat and asked people to deliver it.

While eating at the table, Si Nian took the opportunity to ask.

"Smart sea monster?"

Young Master Zheng asked out of curiosity: "I have been floating on the sea all year round, but I have heard from people that there is a clan of sharks in the sea, who have the same wisdom as humans.

Ren Ren also heard that a conch turned into a spirit and turned into a human girl. The blood that flowed out after being cut by a knife would solidify into beautiful pearls.

There are also sea elves, who can sing beautiful songs, guide people out of the foggy sea, and also lure people into diving into the deep ocean.

But I have never seen any of these, and have always regarded them as myths and legends. "

“In today’s world, weird things can happen, and weird creatures can appear.

What Mr. Zheng said may not be groundless.

Just when the sea monster retreated, our people heard a sound coming from the sea. Just after the sound was heard, the sea monster quickly withdrew into the sea. "

Si Nian said.

"sound?"

Master Zheng frowned. He had not heard any sound.

Si Nian explained: "It is a sound that humans cannot hear. I asked the masters at Yuntai University and they said that it is a sound wave that is beyond the area that humans can capture. It is called infrasound or ultrasonic wave.

And in my garrison, there is a stranger who can hear the sound of the intelligent sea monster. "

Master Zheng was relieved upon hearing this.

Zhou Ming swallowed the food in his mouth and suggested: "Tomorrow, let the stranger listen to the voice and determine the location. Once the location is determined, the artillery battalion will immediately conduct a blanket bombing to see if this intelligent sea monster can be killed. !”

"You can give it a try."

Si Nian nodded.

Intelligent sea monsters often hide in the sea and never come ashore, and they are protected by a large number of sea monsters, making them extremely difficult to catch!

"Chu Chu, you will observe from the air tomorrow. If you really hit the intelligent sea monster, you must bring it back as soon as possible, regardless of life or death."

Si Nian and Bai Chuchu said.

"good!"

Chu Chu, who was lowering his head to eat, heard this and quickly raised his head to respond.

As the person recommended by Ruan Tang, Si Nian also took a high look at Chu Chu and brought her along for dinner.

At this time, Master Zheng recommended: "Let Zhang Shan go too...Zhang Shan is that giant. I also have a strange person named Peggy who has gills and can control water. When the time comes, let her Come along too.

In addition, I have a rare item here, which I can give to Brigadier Zhou and the Commander-in-Chief... Sour Tao'er, go to my library and get the bamboo box at the bottom of the second row of bookcases. "

While eating and chatting, not long after, Sour Taoer went to the city and brought a bamboo box over.

Master Zheng opened the box himself, groped around inside the box, and then took out... and took out a thin rope with a knot on it.

"Ah this..."

Si Nian was puzzled.

But he saw Young Officer Zheng shaking slightly, as if picking up an invisible piece of clothing, and draped it on himself.

"oh!!"

exclaimed during the banquet.

Master Zheng's body disappeared, leaving only one head exposed, as if there was only one head floating in the air!

If it weren't for this series of demonstrations, people would be shocked when they see such a head!

"This is a rare thing I got from a place overseas called Posu Island. This Posu Island is not very big, but there are four or five small countries on it, and they are at war all year round.

At that time, after we landed and made contact with one of the small countries and exchanged supplies, they saw that I had many people and treated them fairly and kindly, so they took out this rare thing and asked us to help them in their battle.

According to them, they made it by peeling off the skin of an invisible alien! "

Mr. Zheng briefly talked about the origin of this strange object, then reached behind him and pulled it on his head. Suddenly his head disappeared in front of everyone's witness!

"However, the sounds of breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow are all there, but they just deceive our eyes."

Si Nian looked in the direction of Master Zheng and said.

Zhou Ming praised: "Even so, it is a pretty rare thing. I have never seen or heard of it before."

Master Zheng took off his cloak, and the rope tied inside reappeared. He held the rope and said, "This is the style of a cloak. Without this rope, it would be difficult to find this cloak if it were lost."

"Chu Chu, this cloak will be given to you to wear tomorrow."

Si Nian said.

"Eh~"

Chu Chu couldn't help but curl her lips.

She just heard it, it was made of human skin!

However, facing Sinian's stern eyes, she still responded with a soft "oh".

Si Nian also considered it for her safety.

One night, soldiers from a brigade took turns guarding the city.

The scouts released drones and continuously monitored the sea area above the coast to prevent sea monsters on the coast from taking the opportunity to attack.

In the past few days, the sea monster really stayed away all night, which also gave Master Zheng and his men a rare sleep.

The people in the city also had a rare good sleep.

The sea monster besieged the city. The roars from outside the city every day and the fierce battles on the city walls all challenged the fragile nerves of the people in the city. In this despair of not knowing whether they would live or die tomorrow, they saw the efforts made to rescue them in danger. When Yuntaiwei came, the people felt like they were seeing their relatives!

The Yuntai Guards' strict military discipline also left a deep and beautiful impression on them.

Early the next morning,

The sea was calm.

On the top of the city, Young Officer Zheng squeezed next to the Yuntai Guard scouts and looked at the clear picture thousands of meters away from the drone on the large monitor in amazement.

Above this picture, he could even see that under the seemingly calm sea, there were countless shadowy figures crawling.

"How big is this sea monster?"

He couldn't help but marvel.

"How many ships does Mr. Zheng have?"

Zhou Ming came over, holding two big buns in his hand to eat.

“There are still 12 fleets going out to sea, 17 more at the southern port, 7 more at Bowan Island, and 7 at the port in Ninh Duong Province, adding up to 43.

This time, 17 ships were lost. "

Mr. Zheng did the calculations for Zhou Ming and said melancholy: "Now it seems that the situation is still treacherous, and it is still unknown whether we can sail on the sea in the future."

"So we must catch some intelligent sea monsters, understand what is going on 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: "As for the research on sea monsters, when the first village massacre occurred, Governor Ren handed over this task to the town guard and the Divine Arrow Department."

After hearing this, Shaoguan Zheng raised his hands in the direction of Yuntai County and praised: "My lord is far-sighted, moves with the overall situation in mind, and plans for the future."

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 water is under the control of the Yuntai Guards. No one is afraid anymore looking at the calm and unknown sea.

Looking at these drones, Master Zheng was extremely greedy!

However, the sale of this thing is completely restricted, and he has no place to buy it even if he has money.

"there's noise!!"

Li Zijie, who had been sitting cross-legged on the wall, meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

The next moment, everyone saw that the calm sea began to boil.

"Bearing, where is the bearing?"

Si Nian asked quickly.

"16 miles away, with me as the center, 12 o'clock direction."

Li Zijie pointed forward.
