Heavenly Dao Formula

"What it is?"

Qiao Zhenggang frowned. A few days ago, this sea area was still empty, but now such a thing appeared, indicating that it was a movable object. But after spending an hour and a half on the road, the thing was still far away in the open sea, and its speed might not even be as fast as a windsurfing board.

"Return to your lord," said the staff officer on the side, "from the information that Jinxia sent back earlier, there is a group of long-eared monsters living on the floating island made of trees. The locals call them tree boats, but in fact they are more It looks like a small sea reef. I suspect that this thing was sent by the Jinxia people."

"Is Jinxia's enemy..." Qiao Zhenggang revealed a contemplative look. He was bloodthirsty, but he was not a brainless reckless man, otherwise he would not have climbed all the way to the guard position. The people in the country have no ability to resist, so naturally they can do whatever they want, but Jinxia is different - that is a strong enemy who defeated the Privy Council of Shangyuan. "If I understand correctly, it's actually a giant troop carrier?"

"There is no mention in the intelligence that it is armed." The staff officer shook his head, "But the tree boat can transport troops and weapons, and the general artillery is most taboo about unstable bases. If it can be mounted on such an amazingly large floating island, I'm afraid that the power and accuracy can be maintained at a very high level."

Artillery...

It was indeed mentioned in the information that Jin Xia has studied firearms deeply, and the source is that there are traitors in the mechanism bureau, which makes the level of mechanism skills of this group of rebels improve by leaps and bounds. In the battle with the Shangyuan Privy Council, the artillery support provided by the inland river fleet put a lot of pressure on the alchemists, not to mention the biped mechanism beasts that can carry cannons across mountains and mountains.

"From this point of view, we should take it easy and wait for them to approach the pier before attacking them." Qiao Zhenggang pondered. If you think that Qixing has not learned a lesson from intelligence, it is undoubtedly a big mistake. After all, Xu Guo also has a family of mechanism skills no less than that of the Mohists, and he expected that Jin Xia would not let the Qixing forces enter the interior of Qi State.

It is not only a landing place, but also a barrier carefully built by the Seven Star Privy Council.

"Your Excellency is wise. Our ships are weak and carry only a handful of firearms. It is the most correct choice to avoid them." The staff officer echoed.

"Pass the order to raise the tent," Qiao Zhenggang ordered, "Let all the generals go to my camp to obey the order, and the whole army is ready to meet the enemy!"

...

At this time, the Noah tree boat was slowly approaching the coast of the port.

Since the blocking plan was approved by Mo Yun, Jinxia City immediately took action, prepared for half a month, and set off for half a month. Until late August, the tree boat that restarted its voyage finally crossed Gyeongju and arrived at the predetermined battlefield all the way north.

This time, the plan is to focus on the world island elves, supplemented by alchemists such as Gan and Yan Qing. The primary purpose is to cut off the transportation line of Qixing, so that the opponent cannot gather troops so smoothly, and at the same time destroy the ships at sea as much as possible, weakening the opponent's supply ability. .

With the help of a new batch of binoculars, Jinxia and her party were able to clearly observe the movements on the shore.

The High Priest Senia couldn't put it down - the change from a single tube to a binocular not only significantly expanded the field of vision, but also flexibly adjusted the distance of the gaze through a knob, and its clarity was also raised to an unprecedented level. Even if it is separated by tens of miles, the small section of the mast rising from the sea can be captured.

This is of great significance to elves who have been dealing with the sea all year round.

If it wasn't for the limited production of the new batch of observation mirrors and the high exchange price, she would really like to have one for each of her comrades.

"They found us." Yan Qing slowly shifted his gaze.

The supervisor was using a whip to drive the laborers to carry the supplies piled up by the pier, and the soldiers were also moving back in an orderly manner. The ships docked on the shore hurriedly hoisted their sails and left the port, heading north, as if giving up the coastal defense and giving up the wharf.

It is not surprising to be discovered by the enemy in advance.

The tree boat was basically no different from a hill, its majestic outline made it impossible to hide at all, coupled with the limited speed of sailing, the Bureau had no intention of raiding the enemy from the very beginning.

"It seems that they want to lure you into the urn." Kong Xuanzi agreed, "Look at the foot of the cliff to the north."

Everyone looked together, and saw a huge artificial object half hidden in the woods. At first glance, it looked a bit like a reclining bull made of wood, but its head was made of metal, obviously not for the sake of beautiful appearance. make.

Soon, several lying cows were found.

Their body length is about a hundred feet, and their height is as high as two or three adults. It is almost impossible to move them to every corner of the camp with manual handling alone.

"I'm afraid these are mechanism beasts." Yan Qing judged.

"Nine times out of ten." Qian nodded, "If this thing collides with Xuanwu, let alone what means it uses to attack, the iron head alone is enough to block Xuanwu's shelling."

After staying in Jinxia for a while, Yuyi has a new understanding of the city's strength.

He never imagined that complex metal parts could be produced continuously in the blink of an eye and assembled on a sliding conveyor belt. It wasn't until he confirmed it with his own eyes that he realized what an amazing power it was to knead metal at will and press it into various desired shapes.

Relying on these new weapons, even ordinary people who have just joined the army can pose a threat to high-level alchemists. Even if the latter mastered a lot of defensive techniques, it would be difficult to parry in front of the overwhelming numbers and firepower.

Ning Qianshi and Fei Nian cannot be blamed for the failure of the Privy Council.

Nor is it a random coincidence.

Even if they fight ten or a hundred times again, the ending will not change much.

This made Gan gradually get into Jinxia's habit. When fighting against the enemy, the first thing he thinks of is no longer how to get close to the opponent, using his own ability and experience to defeat the opponent, but first relying on the range and firepower to take advantage of it. Try not to suffer, it is best to win without bloodshed.

For example, for the mechanism beast in front of him, what he subconsciously considered was whether the artillery could break through the defense.

"There is also a situation in the northern waters." Senia reminded, "They seem to be preparing assault boats."

Not only that, everyone also noticed that the boat was full of all kinds of bottles and cans.

There is no doubt that the contents must be inflammable, either sulfur saltpeter or grease.

After all, fire attack has always been an effective means to deal with large ships.

And the tree boat is really afraid of a fire.

"They probably wanted to wait for the tree boat to land before attacking us at halfway." Yan Qing put down the binoculars and shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that we have no plans to fight on land. Your Excellency, next It's up to you."

Senia waved her hand, signaling to Ai Li and others in the distance to take off the rainproof gun jacket, "I also want to try it out, how does the new weapon of the Mechanism Bureau perform in actual combat."
