For Noah's tree boat, it was just that a gunner noticed two figures standing on the enemy's watchtower who were obviously dressed differently from the soldiers, so he fired a shot at the target.
With the help of the destructive long-rod projectiles developed by the Mechanism and Construction Bureau, the lethality of electromagnetic weapons has been qualitatively improved. Even if the tree boat is only equipped with two artillery, it is enough to make the seven-star troops within the range flee, lose them and continue fighting. will.
And High Priest Senia has only one idea at the moment.
Fortunately, they are Jinxia's allies.
The only regret is that World Island did not take this step sooner.
If the elves could possess such a weapon when facing the Natantine fleet, not only would they be able to achieve final victory, they would at least be able to eat a few pieces of the empire's flesh, and at the same time buy time for a large number of evacuation, and they would not be able to successfully escape like they are now. Only a few tree boats were built, and hundreds of thousands of our compatriots became slaves of the empire.
In fact, during her stay in Jinxia, the biggest feeling that gave her was not weapons.
The impact of thoughts is stronger than any physical object.
For example, the contradiction between culture and customs - it's not that people here have no prejudice against elves. Even she has heard about the long-eared demon, but in the research laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department or the school established by the Secretariat, Similar statements disappeared completely. They make no secret of their interest in foreign things and are full of curiosity about all unknown issues.
This attitude is completely different from the closed world island of the past.
Even if someone occasionally looks to a more distant place outside the island, the news he brings back will not attract much attention from the tribe.
It is this difference that makes time on the World Island seem to have stalled.
One proof is that the seeds of plants and spiritual trees that have been used for hundreds of years have been continuously developed for more uses in Jinxia. Sometimes it even makes the high priest feel that the people of Jinxia know the secrets of the tree boat better than the elves. .
I have to admit that this idea will subconsciously make some conservative tribesmen resist.
After all, the tree boat is all they have.
If even this is lost, the islanders will have nothing.
But the problem is that Noah and Silver Star Shuzhou benefited too much from Jinxia.
Even conservative representative Pang Ting could not say anything about evacuating Jinxia City voluntarily.
Or maybe that's what the man was going for.
Thinking of this, Senia shook her head in amusement, and then moved her gaze to Airi who was controlling the cannon.
These young generations are the fastest to integrate into mainland life. Whenever he sees their vibrant backs, the high priest will feel sincerely gratified. The technologies these tribesmen learned in the Machine Building Bureau will certainly support the future direction of World Island. She believes that for Ai Li and others, the core of the spiritual tree is no longer everything in their long lives.
"Pay attention to the north, there is a fleet approaching the tree boat!" The lookout suddenly warned.
Everyone turned their heads and looked to the north, and saw several shuttle boats mixed with a dozen charging boats, sliding out of their hiding places and rushing toward the sky.
Not to mention the single-sail boats that can only carry two or three people. Their only function is to hit the tree boats and cause the fire on the boat to ignite the target. Even the shuttle boats used to carry soldiers were only thirty feet long and eighty-nine feet wide. Although such small ships were fast, they had extremely poor wave resistance and were not suitable for navigation in deep sea areas. If Noah rashly approaches the offshore, their sudden attack may cause some trouble to Shuzhou, but attacking from this distance only shows that the Seven-Star Force has no other choice.
The electromagnetic gun is obviously not suitable for shooting such high-speed moving boats.
Jinxia has other countermeasures for this situation.
When the enemy finally reached the tree boat five or six miles away despite the waves, a slender figure shuttled through the clouds, and then the soldiers on the boat quickly discovered something abnormal.
The originally bulging sails deflated one by one, but the waves were still pushing the ship to the shore tirelessly.
At this time, many assault boats had already ignited the fire starters on board, preparing for the final sprint.
What makes them even more incredible is that the sea wind has not really calmed down, and the ships behind are still moving forward at full sail, not noticing the strange thing ahead at all.
It was as if an invisible "abyss" appeared in the sea at this moment - it may only be five or six feet wide, but it has an infinite distance. The sea wind can easily penetrate it, but not even a little wind can be stirred up in the abyss. It neither blocks fish nor seabirds, but it is an insurmountable barrier for ships traveling in the wind!
Soon, more ships entered this stagnant area.
Due to its larger size, the shuttle boat will continue to sail forward for a certain distance, while the assault boat in the forefront has been pushed back by the waves and involuntarily collided with the ships behind -
"Idiots, what the hell are you doing?"
"Get out of the way!"
"We're about to hit you! Jump off the ship!"
Amidst the curses and exclamations, this chaotic fleet hit itself. The fire on the assault boat quickly became uncontrollable. While the fuel tanks and gunpowder were ignited, the shuttle boat was blown into pieces. fall.
For a time, the sea was full of soldiers who fell into the water.
If the water quality is good, you can barely swim back to the shore, if the water quality is not so good, it will sink directly into the sea.
The Seven-Star Force on land also witnessed the disastrous defeat of the ambush fleet. They have already realized that the combat plan formulated above has no chance to be implemented at all, and all teams operating on the shore will become targets of the tree boats. This situation of being passively beaten caused morale to fall into an irreparable collapse. No one paid attention to the machine beasts lurking in the port anymore. They fled in all directions. The camp closest to the port was almost directly abandoned by the Seven-Star Army. .
Noah's tree boat did not pursue further.
The instructions received by Yan Qing and others were very clear, that is, to gain control of the sea, block the sea transportation of Qixing, and minimize the pressure faced by Shenzhou border.
As for the troops that have gathered in Shangyuan City, they will be left to Jinxia's main force to deal with.
After destroying the machine beasts one by one, Noah set sail again and headed north. In the next month, it will continue to cruise in the eastern waters of Yazhou, attacking any Xu State ships that come around from the north of the mainland. When the news of the closure of sea traffic reaches Qixing Mansion, the other party should also be aware of Jin Xia's determination to protect Qiguo.
Of course, it is impossible to defeat Qixing's attempt by a floating island alone. The same goal can be achieved by switching to a land route, but the delay will be several months at least, and this vacancy is exactly what Jinxia wants to win. - Everyone in the Secretariat is waiting for Xia Fan's return, and more and more people are beginning to believe that as long as Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun are around, Jin Xia will be invincible.
Even if the opponent is the Seven Star Privy Council.
