The waves on the sea were rolling, and under the setting sun, the battleship Zhiyuan once again crossed the Black Scale Island. The flag on Blackscale Island has fallen, and the island has become a world of sea monsters again.

However, this time the battleship did not stop, but directly crossed the island and headed for the Inland Sea and the Emerald Sea.

After the first two battles, this time the road was safe and nothing happened.

And not far after crossing the Black Scale Island, I saw a huge fleet. It was the fleets of the Eastern trading houses, and they had been waiting here for a long time.

But most of the comptoirs were disappointed. Because, this time, the goods on the battleship Zhiyuan have all been booked, and they can only stare dryly.

The 32 comptoirs that went to the land of perched mountains have already made reservations for all their goods. So this time the transaction was much faster, and the surrounding merchant ships came over, and everyone quickly completed the transaction.

This time, the battleship Zhiyuan had traded more than 400 tons of pills - this time there were a lot more high-grade pills, filling up the spare space and storage space of the battleship Zhiyuan.

But this time, Dugu Junjie did not leave immediately, but invited everyone to start visiting the battleship. But the number of people is strictly limited each time.

On the ship, there were also samples of some goods: a ton of 99.7% black iron, a ton of 99.7% steel, and three sword bars. And, of course, the steel battleship itself, as well as artillery.

Temporarily open a 100 mm gun on the side of the gun, and spend 50 spirit stones to try a cannonball. Because he was preparing to shell Qianlong Harbor a few days later, Dugu Junjie restricted the use of shells every day.

A 1,800-ton shell sounds like a lot, but a 100-mm shell costs 18 kilograms, and a 300-millimeter shell costs 380 kilograms. 1,800 tons of shells, if all converted into 300 mm shells, are only 4,737 shells.

If five 300-mm guns were fired at full speed, five guns per minute would last no more than three and a half hours. In fact, considering the 'work efficiency' of the cultivators, it is necessary to say whether they can last up to three hours. When these gunners encounter war, it is a desperate shell.

The giant ship floated on the sea for more than four days, and a total of 400 100-millimeter shells were fired, which attracted a lot of attention. Dugu Junjie promised that the next time the Dayang Group would bring 100 mm artillery sales.

Oriental comptoirs have said - we can afford to wait!

Yes, it only takes ten days for the Zhiyuan giant ship to go back and forth, and as the route is familiarized, the time should be shortened to seven days. But it takes a year, or even longer, for everyone to come here from the East, and it's worth waiting for a month or two. Some people even said that they wanted to go to the country of Qixia to observe. But this time Dugu Junjie refused-we still have a mission!

However, in this lively atmosphere, there are also some discordant voices.

Spread by the rangers such as the cold wind.

However, when he visited the shipbuilding base, Zhang Hao unceremoniously refused to visit Leng Feng and other rangers, and because Zhang Hao needed to take people to stand up, plus Leng Feng and others had a bad tone, Zhang Hao's tone was also very bad at the beginning.

However, in the country of Qixia before, on the steel battleship, Leng Feng and the others did not dare to come forward, and at this time, when they returned to their own territory, there were bad voices.

The outburst that has been suppressed for so long is hard to hear.

Four days later, these words finally reached Dugu Junjie's ears.

"There is no one in sight, bullying others, looking down on rangers, being stingy, backsliding?" Dugu Junjie shook his head with a sneer, "I really want to thank them." It's just some clowns jumping off the beam, you don't need to take it seriously!"

"It's okay, why do you want to thank them?" Chen Yansong was a little puzzled.

Dugu Junjie said with a smile, "Young Master Zhang Hao said that a business house that everyone praises needs to be vigilant. On the contrary, it is the notorious business house that is trustworthy. Why is this the reason, I don't quite know. But it is.

In fact, in Qixia China, there are many people who secretly insult Dayang Group, but the more they scold, the better the development of Dayang Group!

I think this kind of insult is the real appreciation in the ears of smart people. A kind of jealous, maddened appreciation.

As the saying goes, the loud voice is invisible, and this kind of insult is an alternative compliment. ”

Chen Yansong nodded thoughtfully, which sounded very reasonable.

Dugu Junjie looked up at the sky and said, "It's time for us to go." When I left, I agreed with the country of Canglan that in the early morning of the eighth day after departure, at the moment of the rising sun, I shelled the port of Qianlonggang.

It's just right to rush over now. ”

Bidding farewell to the many merchant ships, the giant ship began to sail west—with Qianlong Harbor to the northeast.

The giant ship escaped the merchant ships with its own speed advantage, and then made a large circle, three hundred miles to the north, in the direction of Qianlong Harbor, and finally waited for the sunrise in the east of Qianlong Harbor.

At sunrise, the port will be shelled from the east with the help of daylight cover. The most important thing is that after sunrise in the morning, you can clearly see the situation of the cantonment troops in the port, and you can attack in a targeted manner.

At this time, in the north of Qianlong Harbor, the country of Canglan had already mobilized heavy troops, and had been fighting with the defenders of the country of Langya all night.

Huang Shaoxian, the left minister, personally supervised the battle. At this time, it was not yet dawn, but Huang Shaoxian had already raised his head frequently to look at the sea in the southeast. Today, it's the agreed day, I wonder if the country of Qixia will abide by the agreement?

This negotiation was jointly negotiated by Huang Shaoxian, Wang Ruiyang, and Fu Yun. But Fu Yun did not participate in the negotiations, he was only responsible for the safety of Huang Shaoxian and Wang Ruiyang. And Wang Ruiyang is just a shopkeeper of a commercial house. In the end, something really went wrong, and it was obvious that Huang Shao, who was the left minister, would take responsibility first.

By now, for this uncertain outcome of the negotiations, it has been frantically fighting all night, and thousands of troops have been lost.

After the country of Langya occupied Qianlong Harbor, it operated for several months, almost turning it into a fortress of war.

The meaning of the country of Langya is very clear: it is to destroy this port, and let this westernmost pearl of the former fertile continent become a stone.

The country of Langya has its own port, in addition to the three major ports, there are many small and medium-sized ports, so the country of Langya does not need this Qianlong port. Therefore, after they occupied Qianlong Harbor, they did not operate the port at all, but turned it into a war fortress!

But for the country of Canglan, this Qianlong Port is very precious. This is the only outlet to the sea in the country of Canglan, and in the three or four months that it has been blocked, various problems have begun to arise within the country.

Although the country of Canglan has begun to take the initiative on the battlefield, it is still a difficult task to completely defeat the country of Canglan, recapture the port, and defend it. Especially recently, the country of Langya has taken refuge in the free faction, which is even more crazy.

Therefore, in a short period of time, it is not easy for the country of Canglan to repel the country of Langya. And to fully restore the port is basically a dream. As long as the country of Langya keeps attacking, this port will not develop!

But the domestic pressure is already great. Unlike the six Western countries, the six Western countries are accustomed to being poor, but the country of the vicissitudes of life cannot live a poor life! Within four months of the blockade of this port, various crises began to emerge in the country.

It's easy for you to let people who are used to living a poor life save one of the two pills. But you can't let people who are used to living a rich life save 50 of the 100 pills!

This is the situation in today's turbulent country. In the past so many years, the country of Canglan has relied on ports and exploited Western countries to obtain huge profits, and this has also led to the emergence of many, many cultivators in the country. Therefore, everyone's demand for pills is also massive.

Four months, almost to the limit.

Some people will say, there are so many cultivators in the country, why can't the national power repel the country of Langya? This goes back to the old problem of the country of Qixia -- there are too many families, nobles, sects, and so on in the country.

These existences scramble to be the first when they divide interests, but when you ask them to contribute their efforts and wealth, they all shrink up one by one.

Western countries such as the country of Qixia and the country of Jinyang are okay. Because of the lack of resources, because the eastern trade routes were blocked, and because of the crusades that took place every few decades, there was little soil for the development of the families and clans of the western countries. And because of the years of war, the central power is still relatively strong.

But the country of the waves is different. This country is already bloated.

In the past, the country of vicissitudes blocked the West, and everyone was very active. Because, there are benefits! And now that they want to fight against the outside world, everyone is curled up - they can't see the benefits. And the family of the interior wants the family bleeding of the border position.

You can say it's corruption, it's depravity. But that's the reality. In fact, all the families are shrewd - why let us contribute! It's just that this kind of overcalculating behavior is a typical "great wisdom and foolishness" - really too smart!

Perhaps it is precisely because the country of Canglan is so strong, and everyone does not believe that the country will perish, etc., so this situation will be aggravated. And in fact, it is impossible for the royal family of the country to watch the country perish.

But these families huddled and didn't move, consuming more resources - they were shrewd enough to know that this was the time to strengthen their strength rather than preserve the elixir. This has also caused tremendous pressure on the country of the country. Forcing the country to retake the port as soon as possible.

Now Huang Shaoxian can be said to carry the multiple hopes of the domestic family and the royal family. If it succeeds this time, the Huang family will inevitably take off, but if it fails...... At one's own risk!

Dawn had come, Huang Shaoxian's breathing became more and more rapid, and his hands were clasped together. The war has become more and more intense, and the artillery of the country of vicissitudes is constantly roaring.

In addition to the cannons made of more than 50 steel barrels purchased from the Zhang family, the country of Canglan also used its own technology and craftsmen to create thousands of artillery. These cannons were forged from low-purity black iron, but they were good enough for ordinary warfare, and the range of the guns could reach five or six kilometers.

So much artillery almost completely lit up the night sky at dawn. Although there is no artillery on the side of Langya, there are many traditional powerful weapons.

For example, the current country of Langya has obtained a kind of "stone cannon" from the Loose School. This stone cannon can smash hundreds of pounds of boulders, and the boulders also have spell effects attached to them. These boulders fell like meteors with flames, each time creating a death radius of seven or eight meters. This power is no weaker than that of a 100-mm gun.

Time slipped away minute by minute, Huang Shaoxian watched the stone cannon attack in the country of Langya, and watched his own artillery attack at the same time, and calculated the time.

As the dawn passed, a distinct white fish belly appeared in the east, and a faint red light gradually appeared.

Early morning, just around the corner!

I wonder if the promised attack of the country of Qixia has returned?

Thinking of the 300 mm caliber guns on the battleship Zhiyuan, Huang Shaoxian was a little excited. Artillery of this caliber will definitely bring surprises to the country of Langya!

The morning glow appeared, and the war became more and more intense. And Huang Shaoxian's mood became more and more nervous.

Next to him, Zhennan General Cui Yan looked at Huang Shaoxian from time to time, his eyes were full of 'care'.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, the morning sun jumped out, and suddenly ten thousand golden lights enveloped the battlefield. However, under this bright light, humanity is engaged in a brutal cannibalism.

The artillery from the land of Qixia and the stone cannon of the Loose Sect are engaged in a confrontation between the old and the new.

At this time, time seemed to pass very slowly, and Huang Shaoxian was almost counting his heartbeat to pass the time.

The rising sun gradually rises in the east, and gradually jumps out of the mountains, but the attack of the country of perched Xia ...... Still hasn't appeared.

Cui Yan finally couldn't help but speak: "Prime Minister Huang, are you ......?"

Before the words fell, behind the defense line of Langya in the distance, a flame suddenly exploded, and a thick cloud of gunpowder smoke rose up. And that's just the beginning.

"It's here!" Huang Shaoxian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Cui Yan with slanted eyes, "General Cui, our original agreement was that the sun would rise in the east. No problem!"

Cui Yan: ......

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and attack! There is only one warship in the country of Qixia, and it can only carry out a wave of attacks. The general has to seize the opportunity!"

Cui Yan snorted and turned to leave. But he did not immediately order the attack, but first let the artillery corps bombard with all its strength for half an hour, and then finally launched a general attack.

At the same time, the attack from the sea also made the defenders of the country of Langya completely panic. Especially the kind of 300 mm gun, it's too powerful.

The 100-mm shell is only 18 kilograms, and the charge is only six or seven kilograms, while the 300-mm shell has a charge of up to 200 kilograms.

With 300 mm shells, every explosion shakes the ground. After Surabaya Port felt this power, the defenders of Langya Country in Qianlong Port also enjoyed it.

One shell goes down, and half a thousand regiments are gone.

And the saddest thing is that in the face of such an attack, there is no way to return at all! The army of the country of Langya is not even prepared.

The transaction between the country of Qixia and the country of Canglan is known only to a few people. Before Dugu Junjie attacks, he has to go around in circles.

Compared to the last attack on the port of Surabaya, this time the preparations were well prepared, and the shelling continued for more than an hour, with a full 700 tons of 1,800 tons of shells fired.

Then Dugu Junjie ordered the shelling to stop, and the battleship began to retreat, preparing to return.

And the war in Qianlong Harbor has begun to enter street fighting!

(Today Carvin, his arm cramps again, and his fingers hurt.) The outbreak of this half month has reached its limit. ）
