At the northern end of the Wufeng Islands, there were twenty or thirty islands of all sizes, such as Ukushima, Ojika Island, Igetsu Island, and Pingdo Island.

However, now that Silla and Wa are at war, and the castle gate is on fire and the pond fish are affected, it is very likely that Silla will move south after defeating the Wa kingdom and first take control of larger islands such as Hirado Island near Seikaido as a springboard for attacking Seikaido.

Although the Gobong Islands are mountainous terrain, they are also on the periphery of the Silla warship route, so it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

Nowadays, the real development and utilization of the north main island is only a valley that runs through the east and west of the island, although the valley is mainly flat, but the area is not large, but there is a natural advantage, that is, hidden.

If you hadn't seen the North Main Island in person, it would be difficult for outsiders to find out that there was no cave here.

The valley is surrounded by mountains, and there is an exit to the east and west, but both exits are hidden at the end of the bay, and the exit is directly in front of several small islands to obscure the view, plus there are no high-powered telescopes in this era, and there are no buildings towering into the clouds on the island, it is difficult to find that the island is inhabited unless you go deep into the bay.

Last time, the fleet of the four major families in the southeast appeared on the North Main Island, and what they saw was only the pier at the entrance of the bay, and they were not entering the hinterland of the North Main Island.

Relatively speaking, the entire Wufeng Islands and the South Main Island Plain are more numerous, so half of the residents of the Five Peaks Islands live on the South Main Island.

This is also why Zhen Qian is not worried about the worst outcome, the North Main Island is not used as the administrative center of the Wufeng Islands, but as a variety of secret experimental bases, the population of the island is less than 5,000, and most of them are soldiers and craftsmen.

If Silla really wanted to send troops to the island, it had to enter from the east and west bays, and at the entrance of the two bays, several defensive batteries were built on the Wufeng Islands, and now more than a dozen nine-pounder guns made by Zhen San in a hurry have been erected on the forts, as well as a large number of launchers, which condescendingly block the entrances to the east and west straits.

Zhen Qian and Zhen Jiu deduced that with the warships of this era, even if Zhen Qian installed the nine-pounder gun on the enemy ship, unless it was filled with human lives, it would be impossible to sail safely to the entrance of the two straits.

In fact, the weakest point of the North Main Island is the north, due to the limitation of population and development time, the north of the North Main Island is a no-man's land, that is, an undefended area.

As soon as the enemy forces landed from the northern main island, the fortifications of the strait could not function!

If you want to solve this problem, it will take at least three months to build fortifications on the northern tip of the Wufeng Islands, and no one thought that there would be tens of thousands of enemy troops attacking the Wufeng Islands, right?

The only hope now is that the enemy will not send a large number of troops to land on the northern main island, and the Wufeng Islands can still draw soldiers from other places to intercept them.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the people on the island talked about not the war between Silla and the U Kingdom, nor the defeat of the U State, and the possibility of Silla attacking the Wufeng Islands, but Zhen Qian's gossip announcing that he would marry Liu Yali at the dinner.

Whether the Silla Diet will attack the Wufeng Islands or not, after all, this is something that has not yet been discovered, and no one can say clearly!

Zhen Qian announced that he would defend the Wufeng Islands to the death, and the army canceled the holiday vacation, but did not announce that the whole island had entered a state of first-class combat readiness, and even the upcoming Lantern Festival lantern show would be carried out as scheduled, which gave great comfort to the residents of the Wufeng Islands.

Liu Jiancheng is now a team leader of the unnamed mountain defense fort on the west side of the north main island, and belongs to the artillery battalion, although it is said to be an artillery battalion, but more than ten days ago, there were only three three-pounder cannons used for training in the entire artillery battalion, and more than 500 people grabbed their heads and bleed in order to be able to shoot one cannon a day.

If you can fire a few shots a day, the whole team will feel superior, and the team that can't touch the shelling for the rest of the days will be red-eyed and can eat people with their eyes.

Because of Liu Jiancheng's excellent training performance, he was able to allocate an hour of training opportunities every day, which also made Liu Jiancheng famous in the artillery battalion.

When Liu Jiancheng's team suddenly received an order and was assigned to the defense fort of Nameless Mountain, the whole team was like a chicken blood, and they could touch the artillery every day in the future.

I accepted the task with anticipation, and when I came to the Nameless Mountain Defense Fort and saw the two main guns belonging to this team, the whole team went crazy.

If you don't go crazy, you can't do it!

The nine-pounder cannon is comparable to the three-pounder cannon, the weight of the cannon alone has reached nearly a ton, looking at the yellow and clear artillery, it is more exciting than seeing the peerless beauty, so that Liu Jiancheng excitedly hugged the cannon and kissed a few mouthfuls, and the halazi flowed all over the ground, and he almost hugged and slept at night.

The nine-pounder cannon is a thousand catties of copper alone, and there are really not many weapons that can be worth thousands of dollars in this era, and even if there is, it is also a peerless treasure of the entire family, which will make a little person like Liu Jiancheng touch it so closely.

Two nine-pounder guns were installed in one battery, and in normal times two squads were responsible for defense, that is, twenty men stationed on one battery. There are three such forts in the west of the entire North Main Island, and there is a hundred households under the command, although the number is not large, but the responsibility is heavy, and Liu Jiancheng can't be excited.

There are not only artillery on the forts, but because the number of artillery is not large, and a large number of launchers and eight-bull crossbows are also equipped on the three forts, Liu Jiancheng believes that even a fly should not want to slip away from under his nose.

Liu Jiancheng has been immersed in excitement since he was transferred to the fort, and he will not take care of the artillery, he always holds a towel in his hand, wipes it on the left side, and looks at it on the right, even a trace of dust in the muzzle of the gun does not mean to let go, and the one that wipes the artillery is bright!

The power of the nine-pound cannon also shocked Liu Jiancheng, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the collapse of the ground with a single cannon, the power of destroying the ancient and decaying is simply a miracle! If it weren't for the fact that artillery was not allowed to be fired every day in the "Artillery Drill Code", Liu Jiancheng would have been eager to shoot a few more shots.

It's so enjoyable!

In fact, Liu Jiancheng didn't know that these artillery pieces were simply defective, and they were hurriedly made for the imminent war, and they could only be said to be usable, and they were still too far from the requirements in Zhen San's mind.

But now there is no time, if you can't block the entrance to the East and West Straits, you can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy on land, but the question is whether the Wufeng Islands have so many troops?

Although the performance of these cannons is not good, it is tantamount to the most top-notch weapons of this era, as long as it can survive this time, there will be a steady stream of artillery manufactured, and once the process is mature, the iron cannon can be manufactured, then it is really the time when artillery is rampant in the world.
