Chapter 803 Battle of Tsushima

……

After sailing for half a month, the Jinxia fleet could already see the gray coastline and the towering city walls of the harbor.

Earlier, the navy had sent several green shuttles carrying more than 20 soldiers from Xiema to land on the coast in advance, establish a contact post on the shore, and establish contact with Xiema.

In this era, the government's control over the suburbs was almost zero. As long as it did not approach the town, the Jinxia reconnaissance troops could act at will. The team led by Li and Shanhui even set up a simple sentry tower on a hillside near Tsushima Prefecture two days in advance. After climbing to the top of the tower covered by branches, they could see the situation of most of the city.

Relying on radio communication, the intelligence collected by the sentinels could be transmitted to Noah's tree boat on the same day. This alone made the difference between the two sides in terms of their ability to obtain information. At present, Jinxia has the following information: First, the route from the mainland to Xiema Island has been completely unblocked. Although there have been several sporadic attacks by evil spirits in the middle, they are not at the level of great demons. This proves that Dongsheng Country's control over Xiema is declining sharply, and they are no longer able to spare extra resources for the An family to block the sea route.

Second, Qixing did not rush to expand its territory after occupying Bumi Mansion. They seemed to just use this port in the north as a stronghold. According to the information provided by Wu Yueyao, the Privy Council troops have been divided into two groups. One group is heading north, seemingly intending to cause trouble for the An family; the other continues to head east, and the destination is still unclear. Their logistical supplies all rely on the spoils captured along the way, and from a formal point of view, they are not prepared for long-term combat.

Third, the Queen of Xiema is not very stable. After the news of Qixing's landing spread, some vassal families began to voice that Qixing Privy Council is the orthodox voice of the mainland. Wu Yueyao is suppressing such remarks, but there is no doubt that she cannot prevent someone from contacting Qixing privately, so the Jinxia army can only get limited support from Wu Yue.

Combining these intelligence, the purpose of this expedition is quite clear, that is, to defeat the Seven Star Plan while showing the strength that Jinxia City should have, spread the voice of supporting the Queen of the Evil Horse, and completely consolidate the position of the Great Witch.

"Hey... Be careful, the city guards seem to have noticed you." Li's voice came from the sound instrument.

"It's too late to notice it now." Xia Fan raised the telescope and could clearly see the reaction outside the harbor - they were hurriedly collecting fishing boats and closing the docks. There were also many running figures on the top of the city, and most of them were setting up defensive weapons. Unfortunately, Tsushima Mansion did not have the concept of outer circle defense. Now the Jinxia Fleet has occupied a favorable T position. The four ships of Baisha, Jiujiang, Anshen and Gaoshan are lined up in front of the formation, crossing the coastline from north to south, and Noah's tree boat is in the rear. All the artillery on board can reach the wall of Tsushima Mansion.

"Your Highness, Lord Xia, the target has entered our artillery range!" Baisha Captain Wu Yue reported.

Xia Fan nodded to Ning Wanjun.

The latter cleared his throat and uttered two words in a deep voice, "Fire."

"Yes!"

The alarm on the ship suddenly rang loudly. Tens of seconds later, the bow turret and the stern turret of the Baisha were the first to fire. When the high-power electromagnetic gun was activated, there was no earth-shattering feeling like conventional artillery. Only when the shells were fired, the flames caused by friction with the air and the short roar caused by the expansion of the air could be seen.

But this does not mean that the artillery fire of the Baisha was powerless.

In the test firing field outside Jinxia City, the long-pole damage bombs connected by talismans and magic tools were far superior to the Xiji's shrapnel bombs in terms of accuracy and destructive power. After a short flight, two fireballs sprang up on the wall of Tsushima Prefecture, one of which was closer to the top of the wall, and the violent air wave blew away several defenders.

The other three ships also opened fire one after another. Since their hulls were not first-class warships, they only had one turret installed on the bow. However, the electromagnetic gun had a high firing efficiency. The single-barreled gun could fire once every forty seconds, which was shocking to outsiders.

The defenders of Tsushima Prefecture had never seen such a scene!

The strange fleet was only at the horizon, but they were already under heavy fire. They couldn't even fight back. Whether it was the bronze cannon, the catapult, or the crossbow, they were all out of reach at this distance!

It would be fine if they were just beaten unilaterally, but what was even more terrible was that the walls of Tsushima Prefecture were not as indestructible as they looked. Less than a quarter of an hour after the bombardment began, the wall was riddled with holes, and large pieces of bricks and stones were shaken away and collapsed, as if they were about to collapse. This was a serious blow to the morale of the defenders. They had never thought that as one of the strongest fortress cities on Yama Island, there would be a day when it would be bombarded head-on.

At this time, a small boat suddenly rushed out of the dock and headed towards the Jinxia fleet.

The Jinxia Army also quickly noticed the movement of this boat - the boat had no oars or sails, and there was only one person standing on it, but the waves seemed to be following his figure, pushing the boat through the waves!

As the distance between the two sides narrowed, a strange phenomenon appeared immediately. I saw that the waves behind him continued to rise, and gradually formed a wave wall!

The waves that hit the coast from the sea were smashed on this wave wall. Every time it absorbed a wave, it would rise higher. Even at a considerable distance, the rumbling sound of the waves could be heard. Those who were not aware of it would even think that this was a tsunami coming!

There is no doubt that the other party is a qi sensor.

"Ah————————!"

Just as the wave wall approached the fleet, a graceful dragon roar resounded through the sky.

Watching the wave wall that had risen to seven or eight meters suddenly subside, in the blink of an eye it was reduced to only a layer of waves, and then collided with other waves, turning into a pool of white foam.

The light boat, which lost the power of the waves, also stopped immediately.

The air sensor was stunned in place, completely losing the previous master's style.

And the various small-caliber weapons on the Baisha were already aimed at him.

Before he could jump off the boat, a fierce volley tore the light boat into pieces.

…

"Lord Kido, the thieves are fierce, and the west wall can't be defended. You'd better leave quickly!" The guards in the Tsushima Mansion urged anxiously.

"Where is my General Wei Hai? He should be invincible on the sea!" The Lord of Kido walked back and forth on the footpath.

"General Wei Hai... he has fallen!"

"What did you say!?"

"I dare not talk nonsense, he really couldn't resist the enemy!" The guards replied with a stiff face.

After confirming that his men had not lied about military intelligence, the Lord of Kido City could not help but show a look of despair.

What is this? There was no notice, no messenger, and the other party attacked the city wall as soon as they showed up. Even the pirates who had been rampant before would not do this, right? At least they would offer conditions and negotiate, unlike this group of people who were reluctant to even say a word.

He was not a die-hard fan of King Dongsheng, so he just surrendered, right? No matter whether the visitor was from the Seven Stars Privy Council or someone else, he could surrender, why should he be beaten up like this?

However, these words were too damaging to the majesty of the city lord, and he could only wail in his heart.

"I will come back!" Kido said bitterly as he looked at the roaring west. After all, if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. This group of guys who are more fierce than robbers are unwilling to send even an envoy. Who knows if they will be more brutal after they capture the city. If the people in the city die, they die, and the Kido family can't gamble on this.
