"Master Iden, the First Priest, the opponent's magic crystal cannon has a range far beyond ours, nearly three times as far as ours. Our two warships are suffering huge losses." The officer on the side reported.
"Paya... no... should be called Tenglong Kingdom. Their magic crystal cannon technology may have made a breakthrough. It has a super long range and cheaper ammunition." Eden frowned tightly and asked the spies responsible for collecting Tenglong Kingdom.
The department was extremely dissatisfied because it failed to collect such important information, which resulted in a lot of losses for the Qunyuzhou Island Fleet.
"We still have two thousand meters to go before we can engage in firefights with them. First Priest, do we want to continue moving forward?" the officer asked worriedly.
"Rush, keep rushing. That woman Betty has already used the 'Storm' spell. We don't have to be afraid of her for a day. Now is the best time to catch her. Give me my order and kill her at all costs..." Chapter
One of the priests, Eden, raised his right hand and lowered it, making a slashing gesture.
On the Qingfeng, Qin Feng sighed inaudibly. The combined firepower of the seven Sanzhi gunboats and other warships still could not suppress the opponent's forward speed.
Are you determined to catch me? No, it should be Betty, she is the big killer... Qin Feng glanced at the calm Betty, but the sail behind her had already risen.
Are you ready to run away?…
"Zheng Zhilong..." Qin Feng shouted: "Do you know the kiting tactics?"
"I know, Commander..." Zheng Zhilong responded.
"Then let's do it..." Qin Feng shouted.
"But these islands?" Zheng Zhilong asked doubtfully.
Qin Feng immediately explained, "The opponent's 'Sea Beast Legion' has been crippled. If you want any more islands, let me use kite tactics to kill them."
Zheng Zhilong suddenly realized, "Yes..."
The Qingfeng began to turn and move, and the other Ming warships also began to retreat. They started to act according to Qin Feng's intention, and always placed the Qunyuzhou Island Fleet within the range of the Ming Fleet a thousand meters away. Only Qin Feng was allowed to attack them, not
Let them hit the Ming fleet.
Betty turned her head and took a look, but did not speak. She just directed her Sanzhi warship to leave.
"First Priest, they have escaped, do you want to pursue them?" The officer was slightly happy...The enemy is about to escape, so they can take advantage of the victory and pursue them...
Eden frowned, then relaxed, "Oh, stop chasing..."
"Yes, sir, pursue immediately...Hey...stop...stop...pursue?..." The officer reacted instantly and asked with some uncertainty.
Eden looked ahead. Meteor-like cannonballs hit the two warships and exploded continuously. They began to sink after about twenty rounds. The firepower of the other side was smaller than the magic crystal cannon, but the quantity was enough to make up for the lack of firepower, especially
It's their range, it's really far.
"Chasing? How to chase? Can you catch me?"
"Look at how orderly they are, and there is no sign of panic. I think they are eager for us to chase them, so that we will fall into their trap."
Eden gave a rare explanation, but he was not happy at all about successfully forcing the opponent back this time.
"Why...why?" The officer looked confused. He couldn't see any trap.
Eden glanced at him, and the officer was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head. At this moment, the officer realized how cruel the other party was, and he could feed you to a whale just by looking at you.
"If we chase them, we will be under their bombardment all the time, and one day will not allow us to catch up with them."
"When Betty regains her strength, we will be chased by them. Do you think it is better for us to fight or run away?" Eden not only explained patiently, but also asked a question.
"This...this...this..." The officer hesitated, unable to speak. But he already knew very well in his heart that if they faced a fight, Betty's "storm" would make them become human beings again. If they escaped, hehe, Qunyuzhou Island Fleet
It will always be shrouded in the opponent's artillery fire until it all sinks.
But he couldn't say it out loud. It would be a defeat no matter what. If others heard it, he would be labeled as having shaken the morale of the army and would be fed to whales immediately...
Huh? Isn’t Lord Iden’s narwhal gone? I don’t have to feed the giant whale anymore? Well…but there is also a manticore…The officer’s eyes lit up and then went dark.
"Send the order, the entire army disperses and hides behind the island, waiting for the "Empty Bird Legion" to be dispatched tomorrow..." Eden turned and walked towards the cabin. The battle situation was clear, and he was no longer needed to command.
"Yes..." The officer retreated.
…
"Captain, look, they are hiding behind the island..." Zheng Zhilong ran to the highest deck to report, pointing forward, and the sound of artillery around him had stopped.
"Well, that's very sensible." Qin Feng's face was calm. This situation was expected by him, but it was the worst case scenario. He hoped that the other party would pursue him.
"What should we do?" Zheng Zhilong asked tentatively: "Should we gather troops to clear one island one by one..."
"Forget it, they are hiding behind the island. We had to hide and seek with them in the past. What if we were ambushed by them? With their magic crystal cannon firepower and close firefights, we would sink faster than them, and it would be faster.
"More." Qin Feng rejected Zheng Zhilong's proposal. The opponents were basically medium and large warships. The Ming fleet was not as good as the Qunyuzhou Island fleet in terms of defense. The result of a head-on confrontation was like an egg hitting a stone.
"We will stop here, observe them, and attack them if they show up. I will let them know that we have a lot of artillery shells, so that they can be wary."
"The longer we delay, the greater our hope of victory." Qin Feng made the final decision.
"Yes, Commander." Zheng Zhilong ran down the deck.
Qin Feng looked at his back and shook his head... Are Zheng Zhilong's attributes strong? Not very strong, not weak? Not weak either, but he... alas... has a mediocre personality...
But there is no suitable naval general in hand. No matter how weak he is, even if he is used as a microphone, as long as he can be upgraded to a senior general, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will be improved.
Turning on the light screen, I saw that the third Ming Dynasty fleet was recruiting, and there were two unused Ming Dynasty blessing ships.
...these two lucky ships cannot be released for the time being, otherwise they will face the covetousness of the four states and islands... Qin Feng tapped his right finger on the armrest of the recliner.
...It takes a suitable time for them to fight to determine the outcome, otherwise their appearance will only cause trouble...
The night passed like this. This battle gave Qin Feng the upper hand. He only lost some artillery shells and the gunner's level was improved a bit. However, the Qunyuzhou Island Fleet lost 90% of the single Zhizhi warships and 20% of the two Zhizhi warships.
The warships suffered heavy losses.
In the morning, Qin Feng had been lying on the deck chair, covered with silk sheets laid out by the general guard. He had not returned to the cabin, and the enemy was in front, so it was not safe for him to go back to sleep.
He spent the whole night taming the "Zhen Qi Dragon" in his body, striving to be able to exert his fighting power as soon as possible.
He gently exhaled a breath, taming the "Zhenqi Dragon" has reached a new stage. He decided to rest for a minute. Everything must be relaxed, right?...
I opened my eyes and took a breath of fresh air.
Huh? What is that in the sky? Seagulls?... The first thing Qin Feng saw when he opened his eyes was the birds in the sky. They were flying in a V shape towards the Ming Dynasty fleet. Qin Feng tried his eagle eyes slightly, and the effect was
It was much better than last night, but his face suddenly became darker.
Flying in the sky are eagles similar to bald eagles, but they are larger and fly higher, especially on their backs, there are three fully armed soldiers sitting.
What does this mean? Qin Feng knows it well...
Air force! The biggest weapon in naval warfare...Qin Feng opened his mouth and shouted:
"Zheng Zhilong, the enemy is attacking. The enemy is in the sky. Shoot it down for me..."
After Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately ran out of the cabin, fully armed. For the convenience of fighting, the soldiers all wore armor to rest.
After Qin Feng prompted him, he immediately looked up at the sky and saw that they were almost over the fleet.
There is no time to think about how they will attack, but the best way to eliminate the threat is to eliminate them before they attack.
"Where are my generals and guards, come out quickly and shoot them down." Zheng Zhilong roared wildly, came to the highest deck, and then took out a shiny new musket from his back.
Because Qin Feng often mistakenly called fire blunderbuss as muskets, this was also a habit developed on Blue Star, so that now, new types of fire blunderbuss have been changed to muskets by Ming soldiers.
Twenty of Zheng Zhilong's exclusive generals and guards also came to the deck, took out a new type of musket, took aim and pulled the trigger in less than half a second.
The new type of musket already has a crosshair, which greatly improves the hit rate of the musket.
Bang bang bang bang…
The copper bullet flew out from the muzzle and accurately landed on the first large eagle. Ten blood flowers bloomed immediately, but... the giant eagle just screamed in pain and continued to fly without changing its movements...
"Zheng Zhilong, go and ask all my generals to put on muskets, and ask them to join the battle quickly. At the same time, let the French cannon shoot at the sky. How many can be shot down..." Qin Feng said sternly. He felt a little
Oops, if he had this kind of air force, the first thing he would think of would be...bombing...big bombing...
"Yes..." Zheng Zhilong didn't waste any more nonsense and hurried to the cabin. After changing the equipment of Qin Feng's generals and guards, he took them to various positions.
When shooting in the sky, bows and arrows are not as good as muskets. The heavy arrows will fall before the projectiles due to gravity. Even if they hit enough, they will lose their threat because they have no power.
The surrounding sentry ships also emitted gunfire at this time. The fireballs that turned white in the daytime flew over the giant eagles' bodies and exploded on their heads, but they remained indifferent and naturally flew towards Qin Feng and others...
Bang bang bang bang…
Qin Feng's generals and guards have been expanded by 100 people, and there are still 60 places that have not yet been filled, but their current concentrated firepower is also very powerful.
The giant eagle at the head was shrouded in dense bullets, and what appeared on its body was no longer blood, but rotten internal organs and bones, and fell into the sea along with feathers the size of cattail leaf fans.
The giant statue fell straight to the sea like an out-of-control airplane, but Qin Feng did not see the huge splash, but...
boom…
A huge ball of blue flame ignited the entire giant eagle, and then spread rapidly, until it stopped expanding until it was about 30 meters in radius.
