Chapter 254 Three Cobblers Are Better Than Zhuge Liang
"Boom!"
"boom!"……
At this time, as the command flag was changed to a red flag, the navy soldiers' mobile shooting training at sea began.
Because this is an exercise, the energy used for the shells is all first-level magic cores, in order to save the consumption of strategic resources such as magic cores.
Some small wooden boats floating on the sea were hit and exploded. At the same time, countless balls of light fell around them, blasting the water on the sea surface and stirring up columns of water that shot up into the sky!
"Cuckoo..."
At this time, a tiny figure walked directly into the protective formation of Lingshan Island without paying any attention, and landed in front of Li Dingguo, who was watching the live-fire training of naval soldiers on the big dock.
This spiritual pigeon is about the size of a pheasant on Earth. Li Dingguo has marked it with the mark of the island protection formation, so it can enter and exit the island freely without being restricted by the formation.
There are more than a dozen special spiritual pigeons like this one.
It is a special spirit pigeon used by intelligence departments in various places to communicate with Li Dingguo in a targeted manner.
Li Dingguo stepped forward, bent down, took a small bamboo tube from the spirit pigeon's foot, and casually threw a first-level Qi and blood pill to it.
"Cuckoo..."
With a joyful cry, the pigeon grabbed the elixir in its mouth and got the coveted reward. It flew up excitedly.
It circled above Li Dingguo's head, then flew to the nearby city lord's mansion and landed in a pigeon house in the back garden. It began to swallow the blood and qi pill and restore its physical strength consumed by the long-distance flight.
"Ok?"
After Li Dingguo finished checking the information in his hand, his eyebrows slightly frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"This Mo Xiaoyong, since he successfully broke through to the Qi Refining Realm two months ago, his mind has become more and more flexible, and he has become more and more capable in doing things."
"I didn't expect that he had already placed intelligence personnel in Fuzhou and Haojing so quickly, and sent back such valuable intelligence in a timely manner."
If we talk about which department of the Fuxing Army on Lingshan Island has developed the fastest and best, it is undoubtedly the Second Military Intelligence Bureau led by Mo Xiaoyong.
In just two months, the Second Military Intelligence Bureau had expanded to 600 people. After being personally trained and assessed by Mo Xiaoyong, they were urgently dispatched to various key areas in the southeastern coastal areas and the land of Qi and Lu.
The Second Military Intelligence Bureau, which is now on the right track, has recently sent back a lot of extremely important intelligence.
"The Ye family in Fuqing recently dispatched a large fleet, composed entirely of warriors, with a total of nearly 20,000 people, and more than a hundred Qi Refining Realm masters accompanying them."
"In this large fleet, there is even a pair of white crane spirit birds that are at least in the middle stage of level five, and an old man in the late stage of level five!"
"This fleet has two top-grade treasure ships, six upper-grade treasure ships, and twenty mid-grade treasure ships."
"Wow, this battle is much bigger than the Denglai Navy before, both in terms of treasure ships and warriors!"
Li Dingguo put away the intelligence in his hand, stood there and thought for a while, and soon came to the conclusion, "Nine out of ten, this large fleet of the Ye family is heading for Lingshan Island."
"But there is news from the Trench Territory that the Ye family's large fleet appeared at the Trench Territory's military dock yesterday."
"The leader of the Ye family's fleet is still Ye Guodong, the second young master of the Ye family who escaped from Lingshan Island last time."
"It seems that Ye Xianggao values his grandson very much and still lets Ye Guodong command this large fleet."
"As for the next situation, the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department are still closely monitoring the trenches. It is estimated that the latest intelligence will be sent back soon."
"Ha ha……"
Li Dingguo sneered and said inwardly, "Come on! Come on!"
"Let's see if you can withstand the artillery fire of our Restoration Army Navy before destroying the protective formation of Lingshan Island!"
"This time, it depends on who can withstand the battle more."
Li Dingguo knew that if the enemy broke through his island protection formation first, facing such a powerful enemy lineup, his side would have no choice but to run away.
However, if we use psychic cannons to blow up the protective shields of the enemy's treasure ships before the island protection formation is broken, the enemy will be in great trouble.
As for why Li Dingguo didn't take a large fleet to intercept the enemy fleet midway and ambush it?
Well, Li Dingguo had to admit that his own navy was not on the same level as the enemy at the moment. In a real naval battle, it could not defeat such a powerful enemy at all.
That's not going to attack the enemy, but to die.
In this battle, our side actually only has one choice: stay on Lingshan Island and wait for the enemy to attack.
With the help of the powerful firepower of the artillery and the treasure ship, and relying on the protection of the island protection formation, the enemy can be defeated or even severely damaged.
Then look at the specific battle situation and decide whether to pursue.
It’s not that Li Dingguo doesn’t want to annihilate this round of attacking enemies in one fell swoop, but that he doesn’t have enough strength.
Among all the soldiers of the Fuxing Army stationed on Lingshan Island, there is currently only Li Dingguo, a master in the Qi Refining Realm. How could he possibly defeat so many masters of the enemy?
Since the other party knew that there was a level 5 peak spiritual bird, the Great Golden Eagle, on the island, they still dared to attack with two spiritual cranes. Without thinking, we knew that the cultivation level and combat power of the two spiritual cranes should not be inferior to that of our own Great Golden Eagle.
When being restrained by the enemy in all aspects, the only way to defeat the enemy is to rely on Lingshan Island's island protection formation and their own superior psychic cannons and spiritual crossbow carts.
Although the newly built navy under Li Dingguo is not very good now, its firepower can definitely suppress the incoming enemy fleet.
Since he had already learned that the enemy would most likely attack within a month or two, Li Dingguo would certainly not just sit and wait, but quickly returned to the City Lord's Mansion from the big dock.
He called Liang Liping, Wei Ying, He Lijing, He Liping, and Xiao Shitou, five core generals, explained the specific situation to them, and then asked everyone to make various preparations before the artillery battle began.
"Commander-in-chief, we are not afraid of these enemies at all. Even if the Ye family's main fleet and the white Hu people's large fleet join forces to attack us, we will not be afraid!"
Little Stone said confidently, "Our island protection formation is so powerful that even if their two fleets open fire at the same time, it will take at least one or two days to exhaust the energy of Lingshan Island's protective formation and break the protective light shield."
"With such a long time, our artillery and the psychic cannons on the treasure ship are enough to blow up the enemy several times."
"Since we can't engage in close combat with the enemy this time, we can just use cannon fire to blow them all up."
"If the enemy is smart and retreats in time, we can reduce the losses and save their lives. But if they fight to the death, haha... then it will be a good show to watch."
"There are still at least one or two months before the enemy attacks. This is enough time for our artillery battalion soldiers to strengthen their training and improve the accuracy of their artillery fire by one or two levels."
After Xiao Shitou recently broke through to the third level of martial arts, his mental strength increased greatly and he became smarter and smarter. Now when he considers things, he can take all aspects into consideration and speak clearly.
"good."
Liang Liping said, "In this battle, although our overall strength is far inferior to that of the enemy, we have the advantage of time, place and people, plus our island protection formation and sharp artillery fire. As long as we don't take the initiative to attack and take risks, we will definitely win this battle!"
"We also have our greatest advantage: these enemies have no idea of Lingshan Island's island defense formation, nor the power of our naval artillery battalion's artillery. They are also completely unaware that our artillery range far exceeds theirs."
"If we take advantage of these blind spots of the enemy and wait until the enemy fleet approaches the island protection formation, and then launch a barrage of artillery fire in one fell swoop, it is very likely that we can severely damage the enemy's large fleet and achieve a great victory!"
Like Xiao Shitou, Liang Liping has recently broken through to the third level of martial arts with the help of a large amount of training resources provided by Li Dingguo. After her mental power skyrocketed, her mind became extremely flexible, and she did things in a very organized way. In all aspects, she has almost caught up with Hongmei a year ago.
However, like Xiao Shitou, she has not yet experienced the true baptism of war and can be considered a complete rookie.
Although these two siblings may not have good fighting capabilities, they can be considered qualified commanders in terms of intelligence.
"Liang Liping is right."
Wei Ying, who was standing by, also expressed his opinion and added, "The only thing we need to pay attention to is: we must fully consider the range of our artillery fire and the range within which we can effectively kill the enemy."
"Now that the psychic cannon has been improved by the commander-in-chief, its maximum killing range is thirty miles."
"And our island protection formation will cover the ten-mile sea area near the coastline with a protective light shield."
"This means that the coastal defense guns on our forts can only attack enemy treasure ships that are 20 miles away from the island protection formation."
"If you want to exert the most powerful killing power, you must let the enemy come to the sea within ten miles of the protective light shield of the island protection formation as much as possible before you can open fire."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to quickly break the enemy's treasure ship's array protection shield, and then we won't be able to achieve any results."
She was a bold and careful person, so after a little thought, she pointed out the firepower limitations of her own psychic cannons.
Wei Ying continued, "In order to achieve success in one fell swoop and prevent the enemy's large fleet from evacuating safely in time, I suggest that in the first round of bombardment of this battle, we should try to put the enemy within five miles of the outer sea area of our island protection formation before launching a concentrated fire attack on the enemy's large fleet treasure ship."
"That way, we can maximize the power of our artillery, but also catch the enemy off guard, causing them to suffer huge losses, and making it impossible for them to quickly evacuate the sea area covered by our artillery fire."
"After our testing, the psychic cannons that the commander-in-chief had before the transformation and upgrade were the same psychic cannons equipped by the enemy fleet, and their effective range was only about fifteen miles."
"If the enemy wants to effectively kill our port and fleet, they must be within 15 miles of the coastline near the big dock."
"Moreover, the enemy may not be aware that we have set up a large formation to protect the island. It is very likely that they will rashly enter the coastline within 15 miles of the large pier."
"Also, to be absolutely sure, please ask the commander-in-chief to do a good job of camouflaging the island protection formation and try not to let the enemy fleet discover the abnormal situation here, so that they can approach our port with confidence."
It has to be said that Wei Ying's plan is very sinister, and there is a high probability that the enemy will fall into the trap.
"Not bad! Wei Ying is very thoughtful."
"Yup!"
"This is the perfect solution!"
"Hehe! If we follow what Sister Wei Ying said, the enemy will probably suffer a great loss this time!"...
As Wei Ying finished speaking, the eyes of the people at the scene lit up, and after praising him loudly, they expressed their opinions and quickly finalized the response strategy for this round of war.
There is still one or two months before the enemy's attack, so we have enough time to complete the arrangement of this plan.
After a while, everyone dispersed and started to get busy with various pre-war preparations.
