As early as when Cui Boxiao came to Langya County, he discovered that there were many strange rocks on the seashore.
Although we cannot attack at sea, we still need to do a good job of defense.
Choose a cliff that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, build a watchtower, and arrange a military defense line around it.
Choose an open area to build your boat.
Although there were no aircraft carriers at that time, there were torpedoes and mines. The "Wubeizhi" recorded a kind of mine called "Underwater Dragon King Cannon". If the enemy attacked at sea, large ships would explode as long as they touched these mines.
Cui Boxiao was sent to Langya County to build ships. It was such a secret port, especially inside. He never thought that someone would be so blind as to land here.
But who is Cui Boxiao? Even though there are few soldiers here, there is still defense.
There are three layers of protection, including watchtowers, torpedoes, artillery, anti-aircraft guns, etc.
On the first level, once the enemy ship arrives at the defense line, the soldiers in the watchtower will issue an early warning and all soldiers will be ready to defend.
The second time, the ship reached the defense line and was attacked first by torpedoes and then mines.
The third level, when entering and exiting, is within the range of anti-aircraft guns, and gunpowder is the best weapon for attacking on board.
Finally, if they are really about to land, there are artillery waiting for them.
Thus, when they reached the shore, it was only hand-to-hand combat and lance fighting that remained.
However, who is Cui Boxiao? He had already persuaded Liu Qiaoer to take out the sniper rifle and place it on the watchtower just in case.
That day, Cui Boxiao was enjoying himself when he suddenly heard someone blowing a bullhorn: "Woo woo woo."
Cui Boxiao, who already had experience in Lancheng, knew that this was the horn of a sneak attack. He jumped up from the bed and started to give orders while walking, putting on his clothes.
"Everyone, don't panic. Follow the usual drill deployment. The first battalion will guard the artillery first. The second battalion will prepare the trebuchets. The third battalion will pick up their weapons and follow me. The rest of you, hold your positions."
Just as Cui Boxiao was about to leave on his horse, he saw Liu Qiaoer coming.
"Why are you here? You have nothing to do here."
Liu Qiao'er was still a little nervous: "Did you discover the enemy?"
Cui Boxiao said disdainfully: "It's just a small island, who would come here? It's okay. If you are really worried, go to the watchtower."
Liu Qiaoer nodded, turned around and led a horse.
The two men immediately split up into two groups, one went to the beach and the other went to the watchtower.
When they arrived at the watchtower, there were only two soldiers guarding it, and one of them quickly reported.
"Girl, look, there are a lot of boats coming over there."
It was pitch black. It was only the fourth watch of the night, the darkness before dawn. Nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
Liu Qiaoer nodded and took out the telescope decisively.
There was fog on the sea, and we could indeed see several large ships on the sea.
It seems that a lot of people have come, and Liu Qiaoer even wonders how they got here.
After taking a look at the lighthouse not far away, Liu Qiaoer understood a little bit. The lighthouse is to illuminate the fishermen. After all, this is the seaside, and it supports many fishermen.
Lighthouses guide fishermen and invaders.
As she was watching, there was a sudden "bang". Without the help of a telescope, Liu Qiaoer could see that there was a fire on the sea.
It seems that they have reached the defense line and touched the bottom of the sea. The torpedoes buried by Cui Boyao exploded. Although their ships are made of steel, they still need firepower to drive them.
The boat was still on fire. Liu Qiaoer took another look. The boat was huge and only part of it was on fire, so the impact was not significant.
Liu Qiaoer was a little worried, so she told the two of them, "One of you goes to tell General Cui about the situation here, and the other one tells the fishermen that there will be a war today and they can't go out to sea to fish."
The two sentries hurried to inform everyone.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Qiaoer set up the sniper rifle in the space.
But the ship had not yet arrived. The range of the sniper rifle was two thousand meters. It was the most common one at that time, so even if she was an ordinary person, she could afford it.
If she were at a higher level in modern times, she would have a more sophisticated sniper rifle with a longer range.
Even so, putting it here is cheating.
Let her cheat, since she can't bear to see others invade the Dayuan Dynasty.
Liu Qiaoer counted and found a total of eight large ships that passed through the torpedo area. Although they were covered with scars and on fire everywhere, they were still able to continue sailing, but their speed had slowed down.
The enemy broke through the first defense zone, and the second defense zone is approaching.
The sky brightened and a thick fog rose on the sea, covering everything white.
Liu Qiaoer went to see the lighthouse, but she didn't know when Cui Boxiao had someone turn off the light on the lighthouse.
This is good. Their fishermen will not go out anyway, and the ships on the sea will lose their direction without a lighthouse.
However, there is still a general direction.
Cui Boxiao ordered the catapults to be ready for battle. The cannons on the catapults had been ignited and were burning fiercely.
Liu Qiaoer also got ready, lying there, holding the sniper rifle, trying to aim.
The fog was too thick and Liu Qiaoer couldn't see the situation on the sea clearly, so she called out Long Batian and activated the radar in the space.
But how could Liu Qiaoer tell Cui Boyao what was happening on the radar
At this time, Liu Qiaoer saw the soldier who blew the horn coming back.
Liu Qiaoer came up with an idea. She asked the soldiers to tell Cui Boyao that once the ships were within the range of the catapults, she would order the horns to be blown, one horn for one ship and two horns for two ships. In order to achieve precise strikes, she asked the soldiers to put fluorescent powder on the flags to indicate the direction.
Cui Boxiao agreed immediately. Indeed, he couldn't see the big ship, and the maximum range of the trebuchet was only 800 meters. By the time he saw the ship, it had basically exceeded the range of the trebuchet.
Of course, there were also crossbows and catapults on the ships by the sea, and their soldiers had crossbows ready all around.
The sun came out, and several enemy ships, like monsters, slowly pressed towards their coastline.
Liu Qiaoer set up the sniper rifle, took aim, and could already see many foreign soldiers on the deck.
Long Batian held the telescope and told her the distance and target. After he was sure, he started shooting.
On the first boat, there was a man standing in the front, holding a large telescope in his hand, and also looking towards the coast.
A shot was fired and his forehead exploded. Liu Qiaoer looked through the telescope and saw that all of them were stunned. They probably didn't expect that they would be shot dead before the boat arrived.
Liu Qiaoer chuckled and said, "Continue."
Long Batian said: "They should be the commander-in-chief who died, and the adjutant took over the position of commander-in-chief. It is difficult for us to distinguish them. Just look at their attire and who is holding the telescope."
Foreigners like to put feathers on their hats. The bigger the feather, the higher the official rank.
This one is easier to recognize.
"Bang" Liu Qiaoer fired another shot and another person died. Then they were in chaos and ran back to the cabin.
When Liu Qiaoer saw someone driving the boat, she shot the person driving the boat. The first mate died, and someone took over the steering wheel of the boat.
