At Dongguan Town, 50,000 troops were gathering. Jin State also had talents who had calculated that Anyang was likely to launch a second attack here. And this talent was Cheng Yunbo, the Eastern General of Jin State!
However, after the first attack in Anyang ended, they returned to Anyang to replenish ammunition, etc. The Nascent Soul stage masters, General Lingyun, and Qiao Pengfei who came to Bai Ze Town naturally came back empty-handed.
After that, for more than a day, the ironclad ship in Anyang did not show up, and everyone understood that the ironclad ship must have gone back to replenish supplies - although the ironclad ship was powerful, its supplies and ammunition were definitely not unlimited.
So, after replenishing supplies, where will Anyang's ironclad ships launch their attack from
Some people said that Anyang might not come; but General Cheng Yunbo scoffed at this statement - since Anyang dared to attack, and tasted the sweetness of the first attack, he would definitely come a second time or even a third time.
Some people say that Anyang's ironclad ships will come back and continue their attack from their original positions and breakpoints. The reason is very good. Anyang seems to want to completely destroy the east coast of Jin State and destroy the salt drying in the East Sea of Jin State, thus affecting the people's livelihood in Jin State. Therefore, Anyang's ironclad ships will definitely return strongly and continue their brilliant strategy.
This reason is very sufficient and has been recognized by many people.
But only a few people believed that Anyang had other purposes. Although Anyang aimed to destroy the salt industry on the coast of Jin State, it would also destroy the military strongholds on the north and south sides of Jin State. Therefore, a few people, represented by General Cheng Yunbo of the East, believed that Anyang’s next target must be the "Dongguan Town" on the southeast coast of Jin State.
General Cheng Yunbo, whose son's life or death was unknown, performed beyond his normal level. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it. He then ordered 30,000 elite troops to march south and station them in Dongguan Town.
Dongguan Town was defending the Liu State, which was stronger than the Daxia State, so it originally had 20,000 troops stationed there; the two combined had a total of 50,000 troops stationed there.
After arriving at Dongguan Town, Cheng Yunbo simply gave up the obvious target "Dongguan Town", leaving only a few people to serve as a facade, and the rest of the elite troops all withdrew and hid around Dongguan Town.
After that, Cheng Yunbo started the "big construction". In order to prevent artillery bombardment, he dug a large number of underground fortifications and used magic to build a large number of temporary buildings.
According to Cheng Yunbo's idea, as long as they survived the bombardment of Anyang artillery, they would immediately launch a counterattack; when 50,000 people charged, they would surely capture one or two ironclad ships. And as long as they captured an ironclad ship, they would definitely be able to exchange it for their son.
Although his son's life or death is still unknown, Cheng Yunbo has learned the news from some survivors, mainly from "Han Xiaowei", that Major General Cheng Liqiu was not dead, but was captured by Anyang.
As expected, hard work pays off. When the Anyang ironclad ship arrived, it was discovered by an invisible master of the Foundation Establishment Stage flying in the sky.
Cheng Yunbo carefully used a Yuanying-level invisibility spell on himself, flew directly to a thousand meters high, and observed Anyang's ironclad warship from a distance. No matter how many times he had heard about it, Cheng Yunbo still gasped after seeing it with his own eyes.
Three 52-meter-long ironclad ships and two 80-meter-long ironclad ships floated on the sea like five small hills.
