Chapter 266 Retaliatory Attack

(fixed)

As the admiral of the navy, Chang Lin also has three lieutenants: Hao Youcai, Gao Shirong, and He Xinsong; among them, He Xinsong is temporarily in charge of the Marine Corps.

The five ironclad ships adjusted slowly, and on the dark sea in the middle of the night, it seemed like five small dark mountains were slowly circling. The dark gun barrels began to rise; the gun barrels that were two to three times the length of land artillery were particularly ferocious; especially on the two new ironclad ships, the 305 mm caliber gun barrels seemed to be "convenient passages to the eighteen hells" ".

The crashing waves washed over, but they couldn't shake the ironclad ship at all.

It's just that the five ironclad warships in Anyang were too close to the sea, and when they were adjusting their angles, they were spotted by a guarding soldier on the shore.

Han Xiaowei yawned. As a recruit who just joined the army, he was naturally bullied. For example, right now, everyone else is resting, but I am standing guard.

Fortunately, Han Xiaowei is not alone, there are several recruits around him. Everyone is discussing the "international situation". Discuss the battle between the north and Anyang, discuss "how much military merit is that", discuss the boldness of conquering the city, and imagine the bright future of promotion and fortune.

Several people were discussing enthusiastically, and Han Xiaowei, who was facing the sea, suddenly pointed at the sea in shock: "Look... look... that... that... what?!"

Someone laughed loudly, "Han Xiaowei, you kid must want to kick us when we turn our heads! Heh heh, everyone, don't be fooled!"

But someone still turned his head, and a burly man stood up suddenly, "No, this is... an ironclad ship! It belongs to Anyang! No, enemy attack! Enemy attack..."

The man shouted loudly, and the loud voice was heard far and far away in the quiet night. Immediately, countless lights were lit, and some foundation-building stage masters and a few Jindan stage masters immediately flew out of the house, looking around in the sky.

"East, in the east!" Seeing a senior officer flying over, the burly man pointed to the sea with a somewhat frightened expression.

All the masters, big and small, and officers, big and small, turned their heads to look, and suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. Under the dark night, there are five huge ships docking on the sea; the waves are rolling, but the ships are motionless, as stable as a mountain.

"Anyang's Ironclad Ship!"

"Anyang is coming from the sea!"

"Asshole, inform the major general!"

panic...

For a while, there was chaos at the seaside. Who would have thought that Anyang would be so bold that he dared to attack Jin on his own initiative. Especially the troops of the Jin Kingdom by the sea are almost all recruits with little combat experience, and they are usually the targets of oppression; the only ones that recruits can oppress are those poor people who are unarmed and honest.

Now, in the face of the legendary iron-clad ship, these people panicked! In fact, Anyang did not keep the ironclad ship a secret, but instead publicized it everywhere, forming a symbol of Anyang's force deterrence. It's just that once the information is spread, it is easy to be distorted; Anyang's iron-clad ships are described as "a huge weapon of war that transports destructive power."

However, it was too late when they discovered the ironclad ship. When they were in a panic, the people of Jin suddenly discovered that there were orange-red, orange-yellow and other rays of light emanating from the iron-clad ship.

"No, they attacked!"

As soon as the words fell, some masters vaguely saw a black shadow flashing past quickly; then they felt the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, the flames soaring into the sky, and finally the sound of the roaring artillery, the shrieking of shells, the sound of explosions, shattering and tragic sounds. Call.

Ferocious explosions raged, flames shot into the sky, and broken houses were blown to a height of tens of meters; the first appearance of the 305mm artillery shell was different. Many Foundation Establishment stage masters who were flying in the air were directly blown away, and their life and death were unknown. The city walls of Baize Town were directly blown up more than ten meters away, and some unlucky soldiers disappeared without even screaming.

Clouds of gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, some places even started to burn, and the pungent smell spread...

Han Xiaowei was dumbfounded, he felt that his heart didn't dare to beat, his thinking was already stiff, and all he could see in his eyes were the rising clouds of gunpowder smoke. Under the dark night, the chaotic and unknown gunpowder billows like a magic flame, full of fear of death.

"Pa-ta..." An object fell to Han Xiaowei's feet, Han Xiaowei lowered his head numbly, and suddenly screamed in horror, it turned out to be half a broken head!

However, the bombardment did not end, and the shells fell one after another, as if they didn't cost money. Unlike land artillery, almost all of the guns used on warships are 150mm, 240mm and 305mm caliber guns, and there are even very few 105mm caliber guns.

Every time a shell hits, there is a burst of ground shaking, the waves are boiling, the beach is rolling, the earth is trembling, and everything such as city walls, houses, soldiers, etc., are broken like sand sculptures.

Nothing can stop this tyrannical explosion, and even a few Jindan stage masters who did not evade in time were torn apart by the shells——305 mm caliber artillery, specially designed for Jindan stage masters! Such a powerful cannonball, even the Nascent Soul Stage dared not collide head-on.

Suddenly, Han Xiaowei felt someone pulling him, and before Han Xiaowei could react, he fell headfirst into the inside of the broken city wall. Han Xiaowei was dizzy from the fall, and turned his head to look, but it was the burly man just now, this is the captain of Han Xiaowei's team.

Seeing Han Xiaowei's eyes, the captain said tremblingly, "I feel a special crisis..."

Before the words fell, there was a sudden "puff" sound from all around, and I saw many foundation-building stage masters still flying in the sky, blood splattered all over their bodies, some of the foundation-building stage masters were directly torn, and their bodies flew around like rotten wood piles. Those few masters at the Golden Core stage were caught off guard and were also injured one after another.

And some stunned soldiers on the city wall exploded directly, and bloody remains flew all over the sky.

After waiting for a while, there was a "chug" sound.

Han Xiaowei stared straight, "This... this... this..."

"Machine gun! It's a machine gun!" The team leader trembled all over, curled up in the corner, not daring to move. Han Xiaowei followed suit, curled up in a corner with a stone slab on his head.

The war broke out so suddenly that Bai Zezhen was not prepared at all.

Baize Town is a "military town", not a township "town", but a guarded "town", a military unit of the garrison. In the past, Baize Town went north to defend the Great Xia Kingdom and prevent the Great Xia Kingdom from attacking from the sea. But in the past few decades, the Great Xia Kingdom has no ability to attack others, so the military town has gradually relaxed.

Unexpectedly, there was such a fierce battle today—or a unilateral massacre.

Cannonballs and machine guns form a double-layer massacre, no matter if it is an ordinary soldier, an elite of the seventh, eighth or ninth floor of the Qi refining period, or even a small master of the foundation establishment period, under this fierce attack, they are even powerless to fight back. Only Jin Danqi was able to escape, but none of them dared to charge.

The artillery fire roared for a long time, and it seemed that there was no possibility of stopping at all! Han Xiaowei hid carefully, never thought that life would be so fragile; just within sight, Han Xiaowei saw a master at the early stage of Jindan, writhing in pain, his legs had been blown off, bleeding profusely.

Han Xiaowei knew this man, he was a very vicious general, his favorite thing to do was to beat and scold his subordinates. Therefore, Han Xiaowei never thought of going out to save this person at all, and just quietly watched the other person's life go by little by little.

Suddenly, there was a sound of orderly footsteps, and Han Xiaowei was overjoyed - reinforcements? Orderly footsteps mean an organized team, not one running for their lives in a panic.

Han Xiaowei is about to get up...

Suddenly, Han Xiaowei's eyes tightened, and a black iron rod was placed on the head of the dying Jindanqi general...

"boom!"

The head exploded, and a stream of muddy blood spurted out! Han Xiaowei was stunned!

A voice with an unfamiliar accent came from the side:

"Okay, all the defenders must be silenced, and those who are not dead must be replaced with guns. Look for it, and if possible, capture Cheng Liqiu alive; if you can't be captured alive, you can do it if you are dead."

"General, do you want to catch some people alive? Interrogate the situation here? Let them identify each other?"

"Well, yes. There are two here. You two, put your hands up and come out slowly!"

"Ah..." Han Xiaowei's heart was completely chilled, is it me... is it me... is it me...

boom! A bullet hit Han Xiaowei's feet, "Come out! I'll count to three, if I don't come out, I'll kill you immediately!"

"It's really me!" Han Xiaowei was stunned, raised his hands numbly, stood up little by little, and walked out. At this moment, Han Xiaowei only felt that his body and soul were numb.

The repetition in my heart is just a few words: I'm going to die... I'm going to die... I'm really going to die...

Suddenly, Han Xiaowei felt something cold on his temple. It was the black iron rod just now! Han Xiaowei's heart skipped a beat, feeling the warmth in his crotch...

A stern voice floated in my ear: "Come on, if you don't want to die, make an oath first. Be good, otherwise this bullet won't have eyes."

"Fa...fa...what...swear..." Han Xiaowei was trembling all over.

At this moment, a slightly majestic voice came from the side: "Okay, stop playing. I don't even know the name, and it's not reliable to swear on the spur of the moment.

Arrest a few more people and let them lead a team to confess. If the confession is wrong or cannot be aligned with the confession, it will be fine to shoot on the spot. This method is simple and effective. "

From then on, Han Xiaowei was immersed in fear, and the black iron rod never left his head. And Han Xiaowei also led the team in a daze, and soon found Major General Cheng Liqiu's mansion among the ruins.

Next, Han Xiaowei discovered that these Anyang soldiers had captured three "Cheng Liqiu" in the ruins of the mansion.

Han Xiaowei suddenly had inexplicable expectations in his heart - can they detect which one is true?

However, the following changes made Han Xiaowei's bones start to tremble! The Anyang officer who took the lead directly ordered: kill them all, leaving the corpses to be identified slowly.

Creak... Han Xiaowei found that his teeth were chattering.

With this order, the three "Cheng Liqiu" were immediately dumbfounded. They all cried to their father and mother, saying that I am fake and we are all fake. There is an underground secret room in the backyard, and there is the real Cheng Liqiu.

Led by three fake "Cheng Liqiu", the team soon came to a rockery with a winding hole near the water surface. Obviously, it would be dangerous to go directly into this hole.

"What will they do?" Han Xiaowei couldn't help being curious. But then Han Xiaowei knew what barbarism was.

The Anyang officer who took the lead didn't respond after shouting three times. The officer just sneered: "Signal, back!"

Then Han Xiaowei found that three Anyang soldiers started to get busy, not knowing what they were doing; and then a total of seven signals were launched into the sky. The signal is colorful and beautiful.

After the signal was launched, a bright signal rose from the sea in the distance; the Anyang officer immediately led the crowd back, and they all backed out of Cheng Liqiu's mansion, and continued to retreat more than ten feet.

Just as Han Xiaowei was wondering, there was a scream behind him, and almost at the same time, an explosion exploded from the front, violent flames rose into the sky, and gunpowder smoke billowed tens of meters into the air, as if the devil was shouting. The dilapidated ruins were completely razed, and high-temperature shock waves, yellow sand, and flying debris swept in.

Han Xiaowei was terrified, and found that Anyang soldiers beside him threw out a few metal-like cards, and then saw a layer of magic light blocking the front—the metal cards are talismans? Is there such a talisman? so small!

However, the explosion didn't end. Three more shells fell, and the gravel was blown into powder. The once prosperous mansion was completely turned into a ghost.

When he came to the rockery again, Han Xiaowei was dumbfounded; the rockery had been completely blown apart, and it could be seen that there was a large-scale underground building complex there; but now the underground building has become an open-air building, and it is still buried by countless sand. With the help of the light of the fire spell, it can be seen that there are many dead bodies here.

This is Cheng Liqiu's life-saving refuge, but now this refuge has become a disaster place. Soon some captives found the real Cheng Liqiu from here—Fu Daming was so lucky that he was still hanging on his breath.

And seeing the soldiers in Anyang go back and forth, the survivors came out and surrendered—what, Anyang is too barbaric.

The war ended in less than forty minutes. Of the 10,000 or so soldiers stationed here in Baize Town, less than a hundred survived. In this way, these survivors were also forced to swear by dripping blood-I will not resist, I will be obedient, even if the people of Anyang beat me, I will not resist... all kinds of vows.

After finishing these, Han Xiaowei saw those soldiers in Anyang directly using spells to attract sea water, destroying all salt fields, inventories, etc.! The salt, accumulated over the years, returns to the sea.

Not only that, but also burned all the things that could be burned in Baize Town; including account books, food and so on. There is only one thing, people in Anyang don't rob people, rape | adultery, etc., they just destroy everything that can be destroyed. War is inherently destructive.

An hour later, Han Xiaowei saw about 5,000 Anyang troops marching south. All the salt fields, inventories, production items, etc. along the way were destroyed, and absolutely nothing was left behind. In this way, it will take at least three or two years for Jin to restore its original production capacity.

And in the past three or two years, we still have to "pray" that Anyang will not come to destroy it again. If the construction here has just been completed, Anyang will come to "celebrate" again, and Jin will not want to spread salt in the future.

The ironclad galloped all the way south, and the shells continued. In addition, 20 large four-engine aircraft parked on the ironclad ship also took off. These planes do nothing else but go to the state capitals near the sea to deliver couriers-the bombs that you angered Anyang and got rewards have arrived.

The 20 planes are very ostentatious, so I am afraid that others will not see me; there are obviously invisible formations, but they have not been activated. It is to tell the people of Jin that we are coming for revenge in an open and honest manner!

At the beginning, many people in the state capital of Jin Kingdom still looked up and waited - what is this thing? The scene that happened after that made many people in Jin country unable to forget it for the rest of their lives.

20 large planes dropped more than 800 bombs at one time, and all the bombs were thrown at the Santo's Mansion, and then there was an explosion that shook the ground, and the unprepared Santo's Mansion was blown away; guards, officials, etc., Flying all over the sky.

In fact, this is no longer a pure war, and there is no purpose of war at all; to put it bluntly, it is revenge-do you dare to attack me? Then I will take revenge on you!

One city lord's mansion... two city lord's mansions... 20 planes can attack a target in half an hour, and every time they drop the bombs and run, returning to the ironclad ship to load the bombs.

Occasionally, a few cultivators tried to intercept them, but they were unprepared, and they immediately tasted the taste of machine guns.

This raging continued until the evening of this day. More than 40 city lord mansions, military towns, grain depots, etc. were bombed in the east of the Jin Kingdom, and the losses were incalculable. And Jin has not even reacted yet.

Likewise, seaside is going well. In one day, five ironclad ships and 5,000 marines "cleared" 500 kilometers of the coast, all important military towns were pulled out, and tens of thousands of Jin soldiers died in battle.

The state of Jin has a coastline of about 4,000 miles, that is, a little over 2,000 kilometers. It clears 500 kilometers a day, and the coastline of the state of Jin can be plowed in a maximum of five days.

But in the evening, before the Jin army arrived, the five ironclad ships had already retreated into the sea and headed back north. It was a very enjoyable day. The five ironclad ships and more than 8,000 tons of ammunition were exhausted in one day.

Two more planes flew directly to the north bank of the Xiandai River to inform Yan Zhengqing of the situation here.

…………

On the ocean in the distance, Princess Dragon observed quietly for a whole day. Next to him is Wei Zhe, who is directly in charge of the transaction with Anyang.

Dragon Princess Ao Qingxue is always so noble, beautiful, and a little cold and arrogant: "Wei Zhe, what do you think of Anyang's potential?"

Wei Zhe thought for a while, and said slowly: "For the time being, it seems that there is some future. But after all, it deviates from the road of practice. I am afraid that the road of practice will not last long."

Dragon Princess Ao Qingxue smiled slightly, "Have you noticed that there are a lot of masters in Anyang? Especially those in the navy, almost all of them have entered the foundation building stage. Tell me, what does this mean?"

Wei Zhe was taken aback!

The back of Princess Dragon slowly disappeared into the room carved with coral and beautiful jade, leaving only one sentence: When this war is over, I will try to form an alliance with Anyang.

Yingzhou Donghai Dragon Palace wants to form an alliance with a small county in Anyang? Wei Zhe blinked his eyes - I should, it seems, probably heard correctly!
