Chapter 277 Strong
Chang Lin and the others all looked at Beichen Yuqing; the situation of the target changed, which was beyond Chang Lin's ability to handle.
Beichen Yuqing smiled confidently: "Our goal is not to kill or injure the enemy, but to deter the enemy. Therefore, we will continue to bombard Dongguan Town, so that the living Jin soldiers can see for themselves what fear is.
Of course, I also asked Master Fei Yu to mark the location where the enemy landed just now, and we rewarded him with a few 305mm shells. I think a few large shells will leave a deep impression on them.
After destroying Dongguan Town, we continued to go north along the coast, destroying saltworks and so on along the way.
In addition, in view of the appearance of Nascent Soul stage masters, the plane will not be dispatched for the time being, and will not appear until the number and location of the opponent's Nascent Soul stage masters are clear. When the time comes, make a detour and fly to a place where the Yuanying stage masters can't reach and bomb. "
The ironclad ships slowly approached the shore. At the beginning, the five ironclad ships still aimed at Dongguan Town and fired salvos. Because the purpose was to demonstrate, and Dongguan Town was already an empty city, only two salvos were fired instead of cover bombing.
But even with two volleys, it still almost destroyed the city of Dongguan Town. More than seventy artillery pieces fired at the same time, all of which were 150mm, 240mm and 305mm cannons, and the effect was quite shocking. The city wall was directly blasted, the houses were directly shattered, and the earth was overturned. Smoke billowed, covering the sky.
Especially the explosion of the 305mm cannonball, in Fei Yu's words, is almost equivalent to the power of an extreme master in the late Jindan period who burns his soul and self-destructs. This kind of power already poses a considerable threat to the masters of the Nascent Soul stage.
As for the soldiers of the Jin State, seeing the city of Dongguan Town being blown up, on the one hand, they were grateful for the general's wise decision, and on the other hand, they did plant the seeds of fear just as Beichen Yuqing expected!
Some soldiers even sat on the ground as soon as their legs and feet gave up... Is it purely courting death to fight such an Anyang!
However, before these soldiers had time to rejoice, some soldiers saw that the muzzle of the ironclad ship began to turn, and the dark barrel was facing them.
"Run!"
Who knows who yelled, and the soldiers who had been frightened for a long time ran away. Although Cheng Yunbo, General of the East, was strict in managing his troops, and although Cheng Yunbo had a strong will to fight and wanted to grab an ironclad ship and save his son, the Jin Kingdom hadn't fought a war for a hundred years after all, and many recruits had little combat experience at all, and now they encountered such a situation. With the violent bombing, not one or two soldiers' morale collapsed.
Not to mention, there were still quite a few soldiers in Dongguan Town itself, not elite soldiers led by Cheng Yunbo himself.
Now, someone took the lead, and many soldiers dispersed in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, countless deserters appeared all over the mountains and plains. Without the "blocking" of the city wall, the soldiers ran happily. By the time Cheng Yunbo reacted and wanted to dispatch the supervising team, tens of thousands of soldiers had already run away.
As soon as tens of thousands of soldiers ran away, the confidence of the remaining soldiers was also shaken.
At this moment, just as the supervisory team was preparing to act, the third salvo of five ironclad ships broke out!
The earth trembled and the mountains shook...the sky fell and the ground cracked...the sky was dark...the general Cheng Yunbo himself didn't know how to describe the violent explosion; the defenses that were temporarily built with magic, which were stronger than the city walls, etc., were overturned and torn in an instant crack.
A 150mm bomb exploded less than three meters away from Cheng Yunbo. Cheng Yunbo, who was already injured and his magic weapon was damaged, gritted his teeth and resisted the explosion with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, but his internal organs were seriously injured and he became dizzy Dazed, he couldn't stand up for a while.
Fortunately, this first volley finally had a temporary defense, which blocked most of the power of the shell explosion, and only a few bombs that slipped through the net caused a little damage. Although the soldiers were killed or injured, they were not serious.
But this time the bomb exploded overhead, which made many soldiers terrified; thus, another large number of soldiers fled for their lives.
In the world of practice, everyone has a long life; and the longer one lives, the less courageous it seems to be. Therefore, deserters are a normal thing in Xianyu. No one will fight to the death when "can escape". What's more, the world is so big, Jin country can't stay any longer, I can go to other countries!
So, after General Cheng Yunbo took about a minute to recover, he found that there were more deserters all over the mountains and plains. And the lowly Anyang ironclad ship turned a blind eye to the deserters all over the mountains and plains. The muzzle is aimed at the position accurately.
Suddenly, the ironclad ship in the distance shook again, and clouds of smoke exploded; the soldiers who had watched the three salvos certainly knew that this was the fourth salvo.
Now, some soldiers who were still hesitant ran wildly - the temporary defense built with spells had been lost, so they stayed here waiting to die.
Not to mention the soldiers, even General Cheng Yunbo was dragged by his own soldiers to run wildly - a 305mm cannonball flew right at the general.
Facing the cannonball head-on, ordinary people can see the cannonball, let alone a cultivator; the two golden core soldiers only had time to pull Cheng Yunbo to fly about 20 meters, and immediately rushed to the ground.
Boom... There was a violent explosion behind him, and the shock wave sent Cheng Yunbo and the two soldiers who hadn't had time to hit the ground directly a distance of three to five feet.
"Cough cough..." Cheng Yunbo, who was more injured than he was injured, barely got up, and blood sprayed out desperately; if it weren't for the strong vitality in the Nascent Soul stage, his internal organs would probably be shattered. And the two soldiers are also pale, like "white impermanence".
Cheng Yunbo raised his head and looked around, and found that the surroundings were in a mess, the sky was full of yellow sand and debris, and there were many broken bodies flying in the sky, with blood splattering; there was a pungent smell all around.
Cheng Yunbo relentlessly spat out the blood in his mouth, and immediately ordered: "Get out!"
But at this time, the ironclad ships in the distance stopped firing salvos, and the 150mm artillery actually started firing continuously, and it was free fire—this is the favorite game of the navy on the ironclad ships.
It's just that the Jin army by the sea suffered. The sky was full of screams, and the shells continued one after another; every time a shell exploded, a dozen or even dozens of soldiers flew out, unable to get up again. There are routs all over the mountains and plains, and the soldiers can't wait to run on all fours—fear has made many soldiers forget that they still have spells and can fly.
Some elites above the foundation establishment stage sacrificed their flying swords and fled desperately; only when they saw masters above the foundation establishment stage flying up did some soldiers in the Qi refining stage use spells to speed up or fly.
For a time, the mountains and plains were full of "bird people", and the scene was spectacular. What's even more spectacular is that a bomb fell from the sky, and then flowers bloomed on the ground...
Sometimes, a cannonball hits a person in mid-air, then explodes in mid-air, and then a piece of birdman falls.
The soldiers fled for five miles in one breath, and the shells seemed to stop. Cheng Yunbo couldn't hold on anymore, and was about to sit down and rest; the soldiers also sat down on the ground, panting. If we were all cultivators, we wouldn't be too tired to walk for five miles; however, we were really exhausted from the threats and desperation just now.
General Cheng Yunbo got up, looked at the deserters all over the mountains and plains, and wanted to call the soldiers to gather. From Cheng Yunbo's point of view, although the bomb was terrifying, the five ironclad ships were too few, and the death of soldiers was not that great, 3,000 people were killed. Therefore, General Cheng Yunbo called for the soldiers to regroup.
After a lot of busy work, they finally called back about 20,000 soldiers; the rest all ran away completely.
But at this moment, a shell fell into the well-organized camp; before everyone could react, more shells fell again, and they were very precise and evenly dispersed. More than seventy "scars" appeared.
"Bastard!" Cheng Yunbo understood right away - the reason why the ironclad ship didn't attack just now was not that the attack distance was not enough, but that it was waiting for Cheng Yunbo to gather the broken troops and then concentrate on bombing.
But after the anger passed, Cheng Yunbo was a little scared-this cannonball can hit so far? ! Dongguan Town was about two miles away from the sea; the armored ship was about two miles away from the sea; the soldiers fled five miles away. Add it up, it's almost ten miles away!
The shells can hit 10 miles!
While running, Cheng Yunbo calculated; however, the actual distance of the shells seemed to exceed imagination; after General Cheng Yunbo ran seven or eight miles in one breath, the 150mm shells disappeared; after another three miles, the 240mm and 305mm shells were all gone. stop. At this point, it is considered to have left the coverage of the artillery.
After running for more than three miles, Cheng Yunbo called up the soldiers again, but he didn't even get back 10,000.
On the sea, Beichen Yuqing smiled confidently, and didn't say anything, but calmly pointed to the north, "Go all the way, fight all the way, and blow up the seaside of Jin Kingdom!"
