Chapter 260 The enemy's combined fleet arrives, attaching bayonets to the cannons
"Chirp..."
With the sound of an eagle's cry, a large golden eagle flew into the Lingshan Island's protective formation at a high speed and landed in front of Li Dingguo, who was watching the exercises of his own naval soldiers on the big dock.
"Dajin, the enemy's large fleet has arrived?"
When Li Dingguo saw the anxious look of the golden eagle, he was startled and asked hurriedly.
In the past two days, the time for the arrival of the enemy fleet was getting closer and closer. Li Dingguo specifically instructed the golden eagle mother and son to take turns to patrol the sea near Lingshan Bay every day.
Now Dajin has returned in a hurry, which is unusual for him. It is estimated that the matter he explained to it has already had a result.
"Chirp..."
Da Jin nodded hurriedly.
"Well."
"Da Jin, you and Dameng, wait here together. Don't go too far."
The speed of Dajin's return was so fast that it was estimated that it would take the enemy at least half an hour to reach the bay next to the fortress city of Lingshan Island, considering that its speed was far faster than that of a warship.
Therefore, Li Dingguo calmly instructed the Great Jin, "After the war begins, once the enemy retreats, if there is a chance, we will attack immediately."
“When the time comes, it will be up to you to lead Da Meng to deal with the two peak level five white crane spirit birds of the Ye family.”
"But Dajin, you have to pay more attention and protect Da Meng's safety."
After giving instructions to the golden eagle, Li Dingguo immediately called a team of soldiers guarding the nearby dock and asked them to sound the alarm immediately and summon all the naval soldiers on Lingshan Island, as well as the soldiers in charge of operating the artillery battalion of the fort.
A large bronze bell ritual instrument is now hung on the huge new lighthouse built at the big pier.
This is a third-grade top-grade magic weapon that Li Dingguo had recently refined. Once it is struck, it can be heard throughout the entire Lingshan Island, which is covered by the island protection formation.
The latest military order issued includes a classification of bells that are rung for various situations.
The bell that summons the naval officers and soldiers of the coastal artillery is the most urgent bell, the kind that is continuous and can be easily distinguished by the soldiers.
"Dong dong..."
After a while, as the large magical bell hanging on the huge lighthouse was struck by a strong soldier on duty, the entire port area of Lingshan Island suddenly became boiling.
"The enemy is attacking!"
"Quick! Come to the big parade ground next to the big dock and gather!"
"Haha... Is the enemy's large fleet finally here? I'm itching to wait. I have to sink a few enemy ships today!"
"Yes, yes! We have so many cannons here, and we have a large island protection formation. Before the protective formation is broken, under the protection of this large formation that only defends the outside but not the inside, the enemy can't hit us, and we can keep firing at the enemy. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Great! This time I must aim at the largest treasure ship and try to blow it up!"...
The naval soldiers and the soldiers of the coastal artillery battalion kept shouting as they ran quickly to the large square beside the dock to gather.
No wonder they are so excited.
They are protected by a large island protection formation. Before the formation is broken by the enemy, they don't have to worry about their own safety. They can just keep firing at the incoming enemy fleet.
After at least two months of targeted training, the soldiers knew very well how many psychic cannons they were equipped with here.
That kind of devastating concentrated fire attack is simply not something that any large treasure ship could withstand.
As long as you don't engage in close combat with a strong enemy, it is not much different from normal target practice.
Because they had been well-trained during this period, the soldiers gathered very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 10,000 soldiers had lined up and assembled.
"All naval officers and men, board the ship immediately!"
"All gunners, take up your positions immediately after boarding the ship!"
"The soldiers of the artillery battalion responsible for firing the coastal defense artillery must also take their positions as quickly as possible, install the third-level magic cores on all the latest fortress artillery, and be ready to fire at any time!"
"Everyone take action immediately!"
Wan'er arrived at the Grand Wharf Square as quickly as possible. With a tense face, she circulated her powerful internal energy and used her spiritual power to transmit her words clearly to the ears of all the soldiers present.
"Yes!"
"I will obey your order!"...
The soldiers received the order in unison, and then, under the command of officers and generals at all levels, they acted quickly and in an orderly manner according to their usual training model.
They are all warriors, and their speed of action is far beyond that of ordinary people.
All I saw were figures flying, leaping and moving, and arriving on the treasure ship that they belonged to in an orderly manner.
Among these soldiers, there are already hundreds of generals who have reached the third level of martial arts.
Over the past few months, with sufficient training resources and complete training methods, they have all broken through to the third level of martial arts through their own hard training.
Among these people, there are even more than twenty geniuses among geniuses who have reached the third peak of martial arts.
Among them are the five core generals who have just arrived: Xiao Shitou, Liang Liping, Wei Ying, He Lijing and He Liping.
Under such good training conditions, among the nearly 30,000 soldiers of the Renaissance Army, the number of practitioners of the second level of martial arts has exceeded 5,000, and the rest are all warriors in the middle and late stages of the first level of martial arts.
It can be said that Li Dingguo has replicated another Renaissance Army on this Lingshan Island. Moreover, after obtaining a large amount of spoils of war and having no shortage of training resources, the development speed of this Renaissance Army is even faster than that of the one outside the Great Wall.
This is a true portrayal of those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.
After all, the restoration army outside the Great Wall went through a lot of ups and downs in the process of development before it grew and developed with great difficulty.
This revival army on Lingshan Island had a set of development experiences that had been fully verified. In addition, when it started, Li Dingguo had sufficient training resources and various materials in his hands, so it had nothing to lack. It was normal for it to develop so quickly.
But one thing is that the combat effectiveness of the Fusion Army on Lingshan Island is far inferior to that outside the Great Wall.
Those soldiers of the Fusion Army outside the Great Wall have all experienced hundreds of bloody battles and have killed countless people. Their combat effectiveness is simply not comparable to that of the new recruits on Lingshan Island who have never fought with the enemy.
Although the Lingshan Island's revival army is not much worse than the one outside the Great Wall in terms of the soldiers' cultivation level and magical weapon sets, it is even better equipped.
However, warriors who have not experienced any bloody battles are still recruits even if their cultivation level is not bad.
They are still a long way from becoming qualified warriors.
Especially in order to deal with the threat from enemies at sea, the soldiers of the Renaissance Army on Lingshan Island have only completed the training of various basic military formations, and have not had time to start training in military killing formations.
Fortunately, everyone has been conducting targeted naval combat training for two or three months. When it comes to using psychic cannons and psychic crossbow carts to attack enemy fleets, the naval officers and coastal defense artillery battalion of Lingshan Island are qualified.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers who had been urgently assembled had taken their positions.
"sail!"
"All naval treasure ships, form a concentrated attack formation, line up in three staggered rows, sail to the outermost sea area of the island protection formation, find the right position and drop anchor!"
Wan'er saw that all her treasure ships had already set sail, and then issued the order to prepare for war.
The combat mode of making the most of the firepower of their own fleet has been trained countless times in the past few dozen days, so the naval officers and soldiers are very skilled in the operation.
One after another, the treasure ships quickly arrived at the positions where they usually trained to launch concentrated fire attacks, and dropped anchor one after another.
The reason for dropping anchor and fixing the stopped treasure ship on the sea is mainly to improve the accuracy of the artillery fire of one's own treasure ship.
After all, there is a huge difference in accuracy between fixed-point launching and launching during navigation for these new recruits.
Only an elite navy with rich experience can significantly reduce the error of shelling during navigation.
However, the navy of the Restoration Army was not even a fledgling, and certainly could not carry out such a difficult bombardment.
"Here they come! The enemy's large fleet has arrived!"
"Haha... they delivered it to our doorstep so promptly?"
"No hurry, we have to wait a while before the enemy can enter our range."
"Attention, all ships. You must obey orders before you can fire in unison. Launch the first wave of comprehensive concentrated fire attack! Anyone who dares to mess around will be killed on the spot!"
"Pass the order down, all our treasure ships, prepare to shoot!"
"Each combat unit, from left to right, lock onto the enemy warships you want to attack. Do not miss any enemy warships within the range of your artillery fire!"
Although it was the first time for the soldiers to engage in actual combat, under the command of generals at all levels and in accordance with their usual training patterns, they quickly prepared for concentrated fire attacks.
As a warrior, he is much stronger than ordinary people in terms of physical strength, mental strength, and even learning ability.
After such a long period of targeted training, if anyone is still at a loss, he will be immediately expelled from the army and eliminated.
The military rules and regulations that Li Dingguo personally formulated and had the military officially promulgated and implemented were no joke.
Anyone who dares to desert the troops at this time will be severely punished without waiting for the end of the battle.
If it affects others, they may even be executed on the spot.
After a while, when the soldiers were fully prepared for the volley, the huge hulls of the enemy fleet heading towards the bay near the port fortress city of Lingshan Island outside the island protection formation became clearly visible.
At this time, the warships of the enemy's vanguard fleet were less than thirty miles away from the Renaissance Army's ready fleet array, which was within the maximum effective killing range of their own psychic artillery.
Wan'er, who had already made plans, would certainly not order an attack now.
We have to wait until the enemy's large fleet advances another twenty miles.
Otherwise, the distance is too far and the power of the psychic cannon is greatly reduced. Even if a covering fire attack is launched, it is difficult to break the enemy ship's magic circle protection shield and cannot cause any effective damage to the enemy ship.
Moreover, if we start a concentrated fire attack with psychic artillery now, it might scare the enemy fleet into retreating quickly, away from the range of our own artillery.
If that happens, we will be at a loss.
In this war, if the scene that the enemy least wants to see occurs, the outcome will be unpredictable.
As long as the enemy is not stupid, they will certainly not stand still after being attacked by concentrated fire, and will quickly make an emergency response.
As all the soldiers of the Renaissance Army waited quietly, the enemy's fleet was getting closer and closer to the large dock on Lingshan Island.
They were deceived by the illusion created by the island protection formation and had no idea that every mile their fleet advanced, they were one step closer to hell.
At that time, even if they wanted to turn around and run, it would be difficult to do so.
