Chapter 248: The Artillery Battalion Conquers the Poor
"Little Stone, here you go."
Li Dingguo walked out of the large warehouse in the shipyard and handed him a pair of large hammers.
"This pair of big hammers currently only weighs 600 kilograms each."
"After you break through to the third level of martial arts, I will refine and upgrade it again. You can use it for now."
Li Dingguo had just finished several days of weapon refining work. With the help of the magic of his natal artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, he had refined a large number of first- and second-level top-grade magic weapon sets in large quantities.
When he asked Xiao Shitou what weapon he liked to use yesterday, this guy chose a sledgehammer without hesitation, which was the same as Wan'er's hobby.
For this purpose, Li Dingguo specially helped him to refine this pair of bright silver hammers, so that they could be distinguished from Wan'er's pair of golden hammers in the future.
"oh oh……"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."
Little Stone took the pair of hammers very excitedly, and hurriedly thanked them, saying, "With these hammers, I can finally practice the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique that you, the Great Commander, passed down to me."
“Hehe… When my cultivation is upgraded to a higher level and my hammer technique has reached the highest level, I will hammer every enemy I meet to death!”
This little stone, after breaking through and becoming a warrior, actually awakened his natural talent for supernatural power very early. He became stronger and stronger, and his stature became more and more sturdy. He was even half a head taller than Li Dingguo.
"Ok?"
At this time, Li Dingguo suddenly looked up at the sky to the north of Lingshan Island, his eyes solemn, and shouted to Xiao Shitou, "Xiao Shitou, the enemy is attacking!"
"Let's hurry to the big dock and gather three hundred soldiers from the artillery battalion!"
The moment he saw the two Saker Falcons, Li Dingguo immediately guessed which force the enemy belonged to.
Although it was expected that the enemy's retaliation would come soon, no one expected that the other party would be so impatient and actually sent out two Saker Falcons carrying a great master of the Qi Refining Realm.
"Ha ha……"
"Are you trying to decapitate me?"
"I have to say, these Later Jin Tartars have beautiful ideas."
He displayed his skills and leaped and moved at a moderate pace with Little Stone. They soon left the shipyard and flew towards the large dock not far away.
"All artillery battalion soldiers, assemble immediately!"
As soon as Little Stone arrived at the big dock, he shouted to the 300 artillery battalion soldiers who were lining up to practice Tiger Roar Fist nearby, "Hurry!"
"The enemy is coming, let's bombard them!"
The soldiers of the artillery battalion, who had been training for nearly ten days, reacted quickly and trotted over from nearby to gather, "Clang..."
The three hundred people quickly lined up in front of Xiao Shitou.
"Everyone, follow me to the battery right now!"
Xiao Shitou, who was trained by Li Dingguo, had some of the demeanor of a general. He immediately gave orders to the soldiers of the artillery battalion, then turned around and took them to the direction of the fortress artillery position that had just been built nearby, leaping and moving quickly!
This group of artillery batteries located on the cliffs beside Lingshan Bay was built by three thousand craftsmen in five days with the help of thousands of warriors.
Among them were the ninety spiritual magic cannons that Li Dingguo had just upgraded and equipped to the artillery group.
With the help of the Human Emperor Cauldron, a weapon-refining treasure with greatly increased power, as long as there are enough spiritual materials, it is not a big problem for Li Dingguo to refine a third-grade top-grade magical weapon cannon.
The psychic cannons arranged in a triangular cross-fire pattern here are much more powerful and larger in size than the land-based psychic cannons of the Restoration Army outside the Great Wall.
The maximum effective range has also been increased to thirty miles. The power of the psychic artillery shell explosion is enormous, and one shot can sink a medium-quality treasure ship.
The psychic cannons used in naval battles are definitely much more powerful than those used in land battles.
Li Dingguo, who has lived two lives, has a deep enough impression of this and is certainly not unfamiliar with it.
Moreover, in order to maximize the hit rate, the fortress defense turrets designed by Li Dingguo himself were arranged in a triangular shape.
In order to even deal with flying beasts and threats from the air, this improved third-level magical weapon-grade psychic cannon has a uniquely designed rotating turret base, rather than the previous fixed turret.
Li Dingguo also plans to do the same when upgrading and improving the crossbow cart in the future.
This will greatly facilitate the soldiers of the artillery battalion, as they can operate the psychic cannons and psychic crossbow carts to launch all-round and no-dead-angle attacks on the invading enemies.
A moment later, three hundred new recruits from the artillery battalion were divided into three teams of one hundred men. Under the command of three team leaders, they climbed onto the three artillery positions on the cliff.
The rocky ground here has been flattened by thousands of soldiers using magical weapons and spiritual weapons, forming three small squares on the three sides.
Each small square is about three acres in area. The craftsmen also built barracks and warehouses here so that the soldiers responsible for guarding the artillery can be divided into shifts and stationed for a long time.
"Quick! Take your positions!"
Little Stone roared, "Our targets are the two big birds in the sky to the north, and the enemies on their backs!"
"Aim quickly! Listen to my command and fire again!"
His roar reached the ears of all the soldiers in the artillery battalion located on the three artillery positions.
The 300 soldiers of the artillery battalion, who had trained hundreds of times for this kind of artillery preparation, began to carry out the preparations for the artillery bombardment in a busy but orderly manner under the command of the squad leader beside them.
"Ok?"
As the person in charge of the main formation that protected the island, Li Dingguo could clearly feel that the enemies in the sky had already begun to attack the formation.
"Humph……"
He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "A mere four level five masters are thinking of breaking through the defense of this large five elements sky-covering formation?"
"I can only say that you guys think too much!"
"An attack of this magnitude would only consume the energy of each node of the island protection formation if it lasts for ten days or half a month." "But, will I watch you launch such an unscrupulous attack?"
The enemy obviously had not experienced any artillery fire, so they were so rampant. They even dared to ride on two Saker Falcons and stay in the air without moving, and attacked the Lingshan Island's protective formation so openly.
"Ha ha……"
Li Dingguo looked at the two black and white birds about ten miles away in the sky and laughed sinisterly, "Let me teach you two stupid birds a good lesson today: how dangerous it is to be exposed to artillery fire and still foolishly do nothing."
There is no doubt that the Later Jin Tatars in this big world have probably never seen what the scene of a covering fire concentrated fire attack launched by psychic cannons would be like.
That's not something a Qi Refining Realm practitioner can block. The only way is to be alert and dodge in time.
Otherwise, even if you have internal energy to protect your body, once you are hit by artillery fire, the internal energy protection will be broken instantly. Even if you are a level five practitioner, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.
The ninety third-grade top-grade magical psychic cannons deployed here are no less powerful than the surface-to-air missiles on Earth.
Moreover, compared to conventional weapons such as cannons and missiles in previous lives, the magic-level psychic cannon can fire psychic shells at a faster speed and with higher accuracy, which is completely comparable to the speed of light.
Because the shells fired by the psychic cannon are themselves exploded balls of energy light.
This is also normal. In the extraordinary world, there are too many incredible things, which is very different from the ordinary historical world.
For example, a defensive spiritual weapon suit like the second-level spiritual weapon armor has such strong defensive capabilities that it cannot be broken by conventional artillery and other weapons on Earth.
Even the lethality of a mid-grade spiritual weapon arrow is much stronger than that of a Barrett sniper rifle.
Not to mention using ordinary firearms and bullets to try to break the protective Qi and Gangqi shield of a Qi Refining Realm practitioner. That is simply impossible to do, not even enough to tickle an itch.
In this magical world, any warrior in the Qi Refining Realm could probably easily rush into the headquarters of any country on Earth in the previous life and successfully behead their core personnel.
A Qi Refining Realm practitioner's 100-meter speed, once it is pushed to its limit, will probably take less than a second. How can you withstand an attack of this level?
Moreover, the martial artists in the Qi Refining Realm, who have the true Qi and the Gang Qi protecting their bodies, are extremely agile. Ordinary people can behead you before they can even see you clearly.
"Turret No. 1 has completed aiming at the enemy!"
"The salvo from Battery No. 2 is in place!"
"Turret No. 3 has also locked onto the target!"
After a while, the messengers from the three artillery batteries began to report loudly.
"it is good!"
Xiao Shitou had a solemn look on his face, then he raised the command flag in his hand, looked at the two big birds in the sky, smiled sinisterly, and began to give orders!
"All psychic cannons, prepare to fire!"
"preparation!"
"put!"
"boom!"
"Boom boom..."
As Xiao Shitou waved the command flag in his hand downwards with force, ninety psychic cannons roared in unison, and hot rays of light suddenly shot out from the high-raised muzzles and shot towards the two big birds in the sky!
These streams of light-like shells were so fast that they reached the target the moment they were fired!
"boom!"……
"Chirp..."
"No!"……
There is no doubt that within the protective shield of the island protection formation that is not directed inward but outward, the concentrated fire attack formed by the large number of streamer shells fired by the psychic cannons has left the two Saker Falcons hovering in the air with no escape.
Although their cultivation is powerful and their body protection energy is strong, they cannot withstand this level of bombardment.
As two shrill bird cries were heard, the two spirit birds at the peak of level five cultivation had their protective aura broken in an instant and were blown away on the spot, scattering a cloud of blood mist in the air. They were already seriously injured.
Although the third-level psychic cannon is powerful, it is also a low-grade magic weapon. The opponent is protected by the protective qi, so even if it withstands a concentrated fire attack, it is impossible to blow up the two Saker Falcons.
After all, the power of a low-grade magic weapon is limited after all. The opponent has reached the peak of level five, and the strength of his protective qi is very high.
Unless Li Dingguo inherits the skills of refining a mid-grade magical weapon in the future, and refines a mid-grade magical weapon-level psychic cannon, he can kill a level 5 cultivator into pieces with one shot.
After enduring this concentrated fire attack, the two people and two birds in the sky were not killed on the spot, but they were undoubtedly seriously injured.
This was what happened to Nurhaci, the great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty. He was hit by the fire from a psychic cannon and was seriously injured on the spot, eventually dying.
At that time, Nurhaci himself had reached the fifth mid-level of martial arts.
Although Nurhaci's cultivation level was not as high as that of Abahai and Manggurtai at the time he was shot, the psychic cannons used by the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty were not as powerful as those refined by Li Dingguo.
Now, due to negligence, Aoba and Manggurtai, who were unfortunately shot, along with the two Saker Falcons, are now suffering injuries that are basically the same as those suffered by Nurhaci at that time, with not much difference.
"Dajin!"
"It's our turn to fight!"
"Quick! Let's go out and take care of those two stupid birds and the two enemies right away!"
"These four guys are seriously injured now and will soon fall from the sky into the sea. This is a good opportunity for us to give them a beating!"
Li Dingguo, who was standing by, had already called the golden eagle and was ready to attack.
When he saw two Saker Falcons being hit by artillery fire and a large amount of blood mist flying in the air, he quickly jumped onto the back of the golden eagle and gave it hurried instructions.
"Chirp..."
The big golden eagle, which had also been ready for the attack, let out an excited roar, soared into the air, and turned into a stream of light, shooting into the sky outside the island protection formation, and pounced on the four powerful enemies who were falling towards the sea!
