Behind me is the earth

Chapter 398 396. Dongyang will surely become a legend on the sea

The sky is blue, the waves are rippling, and there are no clouds in the sky.

Countless broken boards, wine barrels, debris, etc. were washed up on the beach by the waves.

Of course, there are also human corpses that have been soaked until they swell and turn white.

The sea is quiet, and the broken military port is empty, but you can still see the smoke that has not dissipated, some human corpses, and the sand on the golden beach that is stained red with blood and caked into blocks. Human limbs were scattered around, with crows hovering above them, squawking, as if inviting friends and companions to enjoy this gluttonous feast on the ground.

The dark blue-painted steel battleship floats quietly on the offshore water.

A total of five warships have anchored, and their artillery muzzles are aimed at Yilan City on the distant ridge.

The shelling just now had shattered the enemy's courage. The figures of them running away wildly, dragging their buttocks, were really beautiful. There were no moving targets on the entire reef or beach.

On the deck, the tall Zhang Shan stood at the bow of the ship, with the Dragon Sword astride his waist, a telescope in his hand, and his eyes turned to Xiongguan in the distance.

"First there was a naval battle in the East, which completely annihilated the Far East fleets of Yi and Gansu in Xiluo Prefecture, and then the bombardment of Golden Beach. I am afraid that at this time, these Yi people in Xiluo Prefecture were already terrified and were hiding in Yilan. Don’t you dare come out of the city!

Yilan City is a majestic pass built by the Yilan Kingdom and the Ganzhu Kingdom based on the original Yao Mountain City on the Yilan Mountains. There are five more forts above, which are just the inner defense zone of the deep defense circle. With their range, they can't reach the seaside.

But we can try to touch our range! "

Behind her, Peggy had a smile on her face. The sea breeze blew through her hair, and she pulled her hair up into a bun and inserted the seven-inch nail into it.

Now thinking about the naval battle the day before yesterday, she still felt excited. In that battle with gunfire flying, gunpowder smoke filling, waves rolling, people roaring, and ships shattered, the Dongyang Fleet, with the Dongyang as the main ship, had five ships. With its absolute speed, absolute range, absolute rate of fire, and absolute firepower, the battleship took the absolute initiative in the face of more than 80 main sail warships on the opposite side!

In the end, the enemy fleet was completely wiped out, and a great victory was achieved that was unprecedented and unheard of in the entire history of the Eastern Sea War!

She believes that when word of this naval battle spreads, it will be the time when the legend of Dongyang Fleet becomes famous in the sea!

Peggy was originally a subordinate of Master Zheng. She had experienced countless battles at sea and was more familiar with the fighting methods of pirates.

In the past, although Master Zheng was a large merchant in Jingguo and a powerful force in the East China Sea, in the final analysis he was just hanging around in the coastal waters. Once he encountered the main fleet of Xiluo State, he would either run away or surrender. It was just a matter of chance. I don't even have the courage.

After repelling the Donghai Sea Tribe and signing the Donglou Treaty, Peggy and Zhang Shan came into Baihu's sight. After the Dongyang was launched, under Baihu's recommendation, Peggy became the adjutant of the Dongyang, and now she has become the adjutant of the Dongyang. As the adjutant of the entire Dongyang Fleet, she also slowly changed her thinking and gradually became familiar with this method of naval warfare relying on iron-clad ships.

With such a hearty sea battle, the bad breath in her chest was released, which strongly stimulated her brain, allowing her to quickly reshape her understanding of this new naval battle mode at the climax.

"The court of the Yao Kingdom is now very chaotic. King Jin Datong is leaning towards the Jing Kingdom, but the general supports the prince Jin Yucan who is leaning towards the Xiluo Kingdom and advocates an all-out move towards the Yilan Kingdom.

When they went to Wen Island for supplies the day before yesterday, Jinghaiwei also sent an order from Commander Bai. They must take back the Yao Kingdom before the military parade begins, and the Yao Kingdom's ideology must also be mastered.

The time is short and the task is heavy. We do not have time to clean up the strongholds of the surrounding Western Luo countries in the Yao Kingdom.

Our best way now is to directly attack Hancheng, the capital of the Yao Kingdom, and use force to frighten the Yao Kingdom's monarchs and ministers. And this Yilan Pass is like a nail, we must pull it out! "

Zhang Shan put away his telescope and looked up at the drones flying in the sky: "Now, we have wiped out Hongyi's sail warships, coastal defense troops and other outer and middle defense zones. As long as we unplug After arriving at Yilan Pass, we can send troops to land and drive straight in to the great city of Han."

Zhang Shan withdrew his gaze and looked at the gunner who ran up to the deck.

"Captain, the drones sent have completed their positioning. However, there are still many civilians in the city. If we carry out shelling now, we may not be able to avoid civilian casualties..."

Gunslinger reports.

"They are all just red barbarians. Of all those who go to sea, how many are not pirates? Order..." Zhang Shan raised his hand to look at the time, then decisively ordered: "Ten minutes later, eleven fifteen, Start a round of bombardment!

Ready the assault craft and get the marines ready for landing. "

"yes!"

The gunnery commander took the order and left.

"Let's go in too."

Zhang Shan asked Peiqi to join him and entered the bridge of the Dongyang. At this time, the big screen in Cambridge was showing the footage taken by the drone from the sky of Yilan City.

Yilan City is a settlement built by the Yilan Kingdom in the Yao Kingdom. It can be regarded as the largest stronghold of the entire Xiluo Kingdom here, and it is less than 100 kilometers away from Hancheng, the capital of the Yao Kingdom.

There are a large number of people in the city, and even under the cloud of war, commercial activities are still going on in the city.

"Huh~"

Davis sat on the terrace of the small white building, holding a pipe in his hand and blowing out a smoke ring from his mouth, looking down along the mountains. On the lawn below the small building, a lively cocktail party was being held, which was now coming to an end. In the corner of the yard, there were pairs of men and women who were lingering.

After admiring these people for a moment, he skipped the yard and looked further into the distance.

In this fortress mountain city built on the mountain, there are both noble Yilan people, many Xiluo people, and a large number of low-level Yao people.

He looked at the Yao coolies who were carrying stones and cannonballs to the city wall. They were moving on the ground like tiny ants that could be easily crushed to death or crushed to death with just one step. .

Normally, his noble eyes would not fall on these little ants, but at this time he felt something: "Look, these short, dark and thin inferior people are born to do hard work." !”

Davis blew out a smoke ring, raised his glass and raised it to the two people next to him.

The man opposite him picked up the wine glass, but his face was full of sadness.

This man has luxuriant hair. Although it is a biting winter, he has his chest exposed. His chest hair is like a blue-black sweater, covering his skin. His green eyes emit a faint fluorescence, and his pupils are locked. Very small.

With eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people, he could see from a distance outside the completely smashed port and the dark blue battleship docked in the offshore, which looked as small as a toy because of the distance.

Panic could not help but flash in his eyes.

"Sir Davis, you can still enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains leisurely here and express your feelings about life. But I am afraid I have to return to the country to face trial."

He said sadly.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Far East Fleet. No one can bear the blame for this epic defeat.

Depressed, he swallowed the wine shipped from the mainland in one gulp.

No one can match his understanding of the terror of Jingguo's warships.

He still can't figure out why steel can float on water!

In a sudden encounter, before he had time to judge and react to the warship with the giant steel cannon, the opponent's cannon was the first to spurt out flames, and the shells fell like raindrops on their fleet. , the largest and most powerful Far East fleet, composed of more than 80 sail warships, which was famous throughout the East Ocean region, was just destroyed!

Like a drowned dog, he dived into the water and survived, but the losses in this war were too great. He could already imagine what fate awaited him after returning to the country of Iran.

I am afraid that I will be torn apart by the angry nobles of Ilan Kingdom!

"I sympathize with your experience, but stabilizing our economic interests in the Far East is the most important. The decadent and incompetent Jing Kingdom is declining rapidly, and the barbarians in their north have gradually swept across the grasslands and deserts.

The Jin, Lurte, and Hagenta people have gradually formed the Daru dynasty, which is dominated by the Lurte people. This is a new, rapidly growing, and vibrant empire. I saw the desire to devour the world in it.

The tiger tribe next door to us in Xiluo Prefecture has also cut its teeth and allowed blood to invade the territory of Jingguo, and tore off a large territory from this sickly giant.

I think it won't be long before the Daru Dynasty may be completely destroyed, inherit the legacy of Jingguo, and become an important empire in the entire Eastern world!

In the process, we will be able to draw huge benefits in the East.

The Yao Kingdom is such a springboard that cannot be missed! "

Davis talked eloquently, and after finishing speaking, a pair of blue eyes looked at him and said: "Loshmin, my friend, Yilan City needs you."

Luo Shimin's green eyes turned: "Your Majesty the Governor, I know your influence on Watson Street. Maybe you can help me."

"Of course, my friend. As long as Yilan City can be defended, just wait until the support from Dongluo Continent arrives. I will step down as Governor of the East in May next year, and I can help you mediate in Watson Street."

Davis agreed.

However, he hid the arrogance in his eyes. He originally couldn't see Luo Shimin, a run-down noble from the countryside. This stupid guy ruined the entire Far East Fleet, but he escaped with all his hair and tail. He was really a greedy person who was afraid of death. Guy!

He should be buried in the sea with the destruction of the Far East Fleet!

But now, Jingguo, who was supposed to be weak and just hanging on, actually destroyed the Far East Fleet in an incredible way and hit the naval port! Just when he needed to unite people, he had to compromise to the point of inviting such a dirty country nobleman to his noble drinking party.

As for the invincible navy that was described by this incompetent guy, he didn't believe a word of it. He felt that this guy must have said it to wash away his own stupidity and shirk responsibility!

However, this morning, it is an indisputable fact that the Golden Beach Fort on the front line was easily captured. According to the soldiers who came back from the front line, Davis also knew that the firepower of these Jingguo people was extraordinary, so he was willing to put aside his pride and invite Roche. Min, the wolf king, comes to join the battle to defend the city!

When Luo Shimin heard Davis's assurance, her whole body became relaxed.

But just when Luo Shimin was about to say something, the man in black robe next to him suddenly stood up, holding a civilized stick inlaid with rubies, walked to the white marble guardrail of the terrace, and looked at After finding the location of the harbor, an incredible expression appeared on his face: "How is that possible!?"

Luo Shimin also stood up suddenly.

"Is this an artillery attack by the Jingguo people? Can they hit here?"

Davis sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and sneered with a crooked mouth: "The people of Jingguo may have been carried away by the joy of victory. This place is more than 20 kilometers away from the sea. No country in the world has such long-range artillery." ·······”

Before he finished speaking, he could no longer speak.

The cannonball rotated violently, and the violent friction between the tail and the air produced vortexes, and a harsh scream resounded in the sky.

People in Yilan City also heard the screaming sound of "咻咻", and they looked up to the sky.

Black things are falling from the sky!

Curly-haired John was standing at the door with a urine bucket in his hand, and a cannonball slammed into the ground at his feet.

A burst of dust was kicked up.

next moment.

"Boom!"

The earth shook.

The violent explosion instantly destroyed his body. Amid the violent screams, the shock wave carried shrapnel, residual limbs, tissues, and urine and spread rapidly, leaving only a scorched black crater that spread radially.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen shells landed around Yilan City.

"ah!!"

"God, where did this shell come from!"

"My legs, please help me, please save me!"

The mountain city instantly became panicked.

People ran frantically towards the stone house and under the city wall, and some people ran towards the outside of the city.

Luo Shimin and the man in black robe turned around to ask Davis for his decision, but found that Davis had already taken three steps and two steps at a time. His body was as flexible as a monkey. He quickly escaped from the balcony and walked down the stairs to Qiba in one step. He hurriedly ran down the steps until he reached the underground wine cellar of the white building, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The people of Jingguo actually have such a magical weapon that can hit more than 20 kilometers away!"

"But how is this possible? With such strength, how could Jingguo be invaded by the Daru Dynasty?"

Davis said in disbelief and shock.

When the war is not over his head, he can use feathers and turbans, can remotely control the air from thousands of miles away, and can turn his oars into ashes while talking and laughing. But when the cannonballs fall over his head, he turns around and runs away.

Because he knows that several defeats in the far east cannot shake his status. As long as the interests of the imperial nobles are protected, he will be a rising political star with outstanding achievements in the country!

But if life is gone, there is nothing!
