In the neutral land, the mercenaries are famous for their bravery and bloodthirsty, and all of these mercenaries have worked all the way from ordinary mercenaries to generals. However, although they are brave and ruthless, they are better than each other. When it comes to fleet battles, they are mostly laymen.
Even with Qianye's experience, he felt that at least two frigates were required to flank each other in order to kill the entire frigate safely and without damage. Otherwise, according to what these generals said, wouldn't it be possible to tear up the battleship by hand? Even if individual soldiers can indeed blow up the boat, how can they stop them from escaping
Nan Ruohuai stood in the corner, listening with a smile, and didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with leading a wolf into the house.
At this time, a general opened the door and came in, saying: "My lord, all the troops have assembled and are waiting for orders."
Qianye pondered for a while, reached out and pointed a few places on the map, and said, "Let half of the troops board the ship and go to take down these three small towns. The rest follow me and go directly to Yuanjing City!"
A general said: "My lord, don't you leave someone to guard here?"
Qianye glanced at Nan Ruohuai, and said, "Isn't His Highness the Prince here? Tell His Highness to go down and say hello to them. Whoever dares to rebel, that's treason!"
Nan Ruohuai's originally calm face suddenly flashed an inconspicuous paleness, and this action clearly showed that he wanted to fight for the king. He usually only dared to think about this idea in his heart, even if Qianye came to him and had to give in under the coercion and temptation, he never really thought about rebelling.
However, Qianye's hands and feet were much faster than he expected. As soon as he arrived in Yonglu, he immediately tore off all the fig leafs and sent troops to enclose the land without even sitting on the stool. The problem is that this matter is still under the banner of Nan Ruohuai, so he has no way out.
Nan Ruohuai thought about it for a while, then left the room, dragged the mayor and captain into the side room, talked for a while before returning, put a document in front of Qianye, and said: "There is no problem here. .”
Qianye picked up the document and took a look, it turned out to be something similar to a certificate of nomination, to the effect that he wholeheartedly supported Nan Ruohuai to inherit the throne of King Zheng, and so on, and signed it with the mayor and captain of the town guard. As soon as this document is signed, the mayor and captain of the guard will basically be handed over to Nan Ruohuai. If he fails in the bid for the position, then with this document, it will be a crime of copying and killing everyone.
Qianye smiled, returned the document to Nan Ruohuai, and said, "Good job. How did they agree so quickly?"
Nan Ruohuai glanced at Song Lun beside him, and said shyly, "It's all borrowed from Mr. Song's idea."
Qianye suddenly realized that Nan Ruohuai had brought out Song Lun's method against him and used it on the mayor and the captain of the town guard. Although these two little people couldn't be smaller, they can be regarded as local snakes, and they are really useful for stabilizing the place. Although there is nothing special about Jishui Town, its geographical location is right next to the Wang Family Manor, so there is a lot of room for manipulation in An Ding, which is not bloody.
This Nan Ruohuai's self-cultivation is not weak, he learns quickly, and knows current affairs, but he is also a talent.
At this moment, Qianye had already assigned the task, and the logistics units following the transport ship began to build a temporary camp outside the town for the troops to rest.
After the residents of the small town panicked at the beginning, they found that although the newly appeared fighters looked vicious and murderous, as long as they didn't provoke them, they wouldn't bother the people. Immediately there were rumors in the town that His Royal Highness's uncle had returned, and that these were soldiers of that lord.
As for when the uncle became an uncle, it is impossible to test. Anyway, as long as it does not disturb the people, the residents of the town will feel at ease, regardless of the gossip that the prince's uncle should actually be regarded as the king's brother.
The life of the residents in the small town can only maintain food and clothing, even if the supplies are requisitioned, they can't squeeze out any oil and water. During Qianye's trip, he also learned Song Zining's style, worked hard in logistics, and implemented an extremely elite soldier policy. Most of the transport ships were loaded with supplies, and there was no need to collect food on the spot. In this way, although the preliminary preparations It takes a little more time and cost, but saves the greatest trouble of the army occupying the place.
In the early morning of the second day, Qianye's troops came out in full force, and warships and transport ships roared past and flew into the distance.
For this floating island named Xudong Island, the occupation process was very smooth, and the various people sent out did not suffer any setbacks. There are mostly small towns and villages on the island, and the level of the guards is similar to that of Jishui Town, and most of the soldiers on the roster do not exist at all. Even if there are individuals who are not afraid of death, they are definitely not the opponents of these elite mercenaries under Qianye, who will become corpses in the blink of an eye.
Kill the assassin, and then Nan Ruohuai's people will come forward to appease and explain the situation, and people will recognize the reality and submit silently.
The only problem is Yuanjing City. There is a formed guard fleet and an organized army, and the city owner is also sent by the kingdom.
When the battle patrol that Qianye was on arrived at the sky above Yuanjing City and saw the burning wreckage of the airship outside the city, he couldn't help frowning.
A frigate approached, the captain couldn't wait to connect, and jumped onto Qianye's battle cruiser. As soon as he saw Qianye, he knelt down on one knee and said, "This subordinate is ineffective in fighting, please punish me, sir!"
Qianye looked at the scars on the outer body of the frigate, then at the burning wreckage on the ground, and said, "Isn't it all destroyed? What else is there?"
The captain said: "With three frigates in hand, it's not surprising to destroy these small broken ships. It's just that the defenders in the city still have to resist and refuse to surrender no matter what. The subordinates tried to attack the city, but were beaten back."
Qianye stretched his brows slightly, and said, "Just a few frigates want to attack the city? You are too far-fetched!"
A frigate is different from a gunboat that specializes in ground attacks. It is fast, has strong firepower, and has poor protection. There is no cover, and there is not enough power to sit in the city, so you rush to attack the city. There is still a big city with a formal defense system on the opposite side. It is normal to be beaten back by the defenders.
Qianye walked to the bow of the battle cruiser, looked down at Yuanjing City, and asked, "Have you fought against the city lord? How is his cultivation?"
The captain looked ashamed, and said in a low voice: "I haven't seen the city lord yet, I got a slap from the turret in the city, and I quit."
Qianye nodded and said, "It's okay if you didn't force yourself."
This captain was originally from the military department and really understands fleet warfare. Looking down on the force of the floating island, it is a bit reckless to go to attack the city, but once you are frustrated, you will wake up, and you will not lose face and expand your losses. If it were the mercenary generals under Qianye's men who were replaced, they might crash the turret with a ship in a fit of anger.
Qianye took a quick glance and saw that Yuanjing City has four main turrets, which are located in the four corners of the inner city. They can support each other, cover the surrounding area, and be protected by the outer city. This layout is also an expert hand.
After reading it, Qianye had an idea, and asked, "Which turret hit you?"
The captain pointed to the turret in one corner and said, "That's the one."
Qianye nodded, turned back to the captain of the battle cruiser and said, "Go and blast that turret to me."
"No problem, up to two shots." The captain agreed, and hurried back to the command bridge. In a blink of an eye, the battle cruiser started again, circled outside the city for a week, and then dived into Yuanjing City. Then the huge ship body shook suddenly, and a huge crossbow arrow shot out, blasting towards the turret!
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the entire turret collapsed, and a huge ball of fire rolled up into the sky.
This shot was extremely accurate. It seems that the two shots mentioned by the captain still left room for himself. There was a frigate in the wrong direction, and the captain of the battle cruiser also corrected his attitude and became cautious. He had already fought the floating land. If the ship capsized in Xudong's small ditch, it would probably kill a lot of his former colleagues if the news spread.
The battle cruiser pulled up immediately, whizzing past the city of faraway with a lightness and elegance not inferior to that of a light battleship. The roar of the engine and the exhausted heat wave caused ghosts and wolves to howl below. There were also counterattacks in the city, and sporadic crossbow bolts and force ejections were ejected from the belly of the battlecruiser, all of which were ejected. With the heavy armor of the Battle Cruiser, such an attack is completely scratching an itch.
The war patrol passed Yuanjing City, turned around, and began to accelerate around the city, obviously preparing to attack the second main turret.
At this time, the officers in the main turret shouted hoarsely, leading the soldiers to push the ballista desperately, trying to keep up with the speed of the battle cruiser. However, the huge ballista is generally driven by machinery, and the flexibility and speed of human-powered driving will be slightly faster, but it is still difficult to keep up with the direction of the battle cruiser, let alone aim.
As soon as the battle cruiser turned around, a figure flew out of the city, and shouted angrily, "Stop! Are you attacking Yuanjing City to be an enemy of our country Zheng?"
This person has about thirteen or four levels of cultivation, and it seems that he is the lord of Yuanjing City.
Qianye raised his hand, and Zhan Xun slowed down, hovering outside Yuanjing City. The place where it stopped was only tens of meters away from Yuanjing City, almost exactly pressing on the top of the city. The turret in this direction has just been bombarded, and apart from the main turret, there is no firepower in the city that can pose any threat to it.
Qianye flew out of the battle patrol, stood in front of that person, and said calmly: "Who are you, dare to block my fleet, do you want to rebel?"
The man stared at Qianye, wondering and wondering. He couldn't see through Qianye's strength at all, and with that battle cruiser, he didn't need to think about it to know that Qianye's origin must be not simple. Among other things, there is not a single warship that can rival the Battle Cruiser in the whole country of Zheng.
He gave a salute, his tone became respectful, and said: "This is the state of Zheng, and I am the city lord appointed by King Zheng. Why do you say rebellion? Who is your Excellency? Forgive my ignorance. In Zheng state and neighboring countries, there is no one about it. your legend."
Qian Ye said lightly: "It doesn't matter who I am, you will understand when you see him."
Qianye turned his head, waved to Zhan Xun, and said, "Come here."
"Me?" Nan Ruohuai asked while standing by the porthole, pointing at his nose. Qianye stood upright out of thin air, but he was still a mile away from a warrior, and he couldn't stand in the air.
Qianye yelled again as if nothing had happened, Nan Ruohuai had no choice but to bite the bullet and jumped out of the cabin door. With his skill, the fall to the ground from this height would be a bit ugly, but he wouldn't die anyway. When it fell to the same level as Qianye, Nan Ruohuai suddenly felt the ground under his feet, and stood in the air.
Shocked in his heart, he lowered his head and saw that there was nothing under his feet. Nan Ruohuai understood that it was Qianye who used the force to form an invisible place to support him.
The city lord of Yuanjing didn't know the secret, so he glanced at Nan Ruohuai suspiciously, suddenly felt that his eyebrows and eyes were a little familiar, and lost his voice: "You, you..."
"According to the sequence, I am the thirty-first prince. It is normal for you not to know me. But I remember that you were not the lord of the city before. My fifth brother let you come here, right?"
Yuanjing City Lord said: "Yes, Your Highness. Are you also very familiar with our Fifth Prince?"
However, the city lord's eyes and expression showed that he didn't have the Thirty One Prince in his heart at all, and he probably hadn't even heard of the other party's full name.
