C2833 The Fishermen Beg Peace(part I)
Dongfang Qingyu's actions had destroyed his confidence in an instant. However, the fishermen had gathered and the arrow was already on the bow. He had no choice but to release it. He could only pray that a miracle would happen.
A miracle did not happen. The distance between 500 and 1000 meters was a natural chasm for the fishermen. Qian Shanmu's order was a feint attack to avoid the Hong Martial Cannon. However, when it came to a real battle, the fishermen couldn't do it like a swarm of bees. The warship, which had gained experience from the previous few days, became more and more stable, and the frequency of the Hong Martial Cannon's shots decreased. However, the accuracy increased, and the lethality of the cannon doubled.
The fifty thousand men of the fishermen were not enough for the warship to kill, so they had no choice. Qian Shanmu, Xue Yannan, threw the remaining fifty thousand men and horses into the mountain, and the fishermen suffered heavy casualties. Qian Shanmu and Yan Nanfei were expressionless. He and a few of the higher ups were still looking forward to it. They were looking forward to the fishermen from other directions entering the sea.
Their expectations had succeeded. When the signal detonator exploded in the sky, the fishermen burst into deafening cheers, jumping and jumping. They had been suppressed by the Hong Martial Cannon for the past few days. The success of the fishermen when they went into the sea represented a f * cking great victory. However, they were wrong. Success in the sea did not mean victory. It was the beginning of the disaster.
Qian Shanmu and Xuannan's plan was to surround and attack, but in reality, it was to fly a kite. The warship was in front, the small fishing boats, the giant beasts, the black tarpaulin, and the others were chasing behind. Of course, chasing was a nice way of saying, but to put it bluntly, warships were hanging fishermen. The Hong Martial Cannon hit accurately, and on average, one fisherman's boat would be smashed into pieces every two shots. Broken planks floated on the sea, and some of the fishermen who hadn't died were struggling in the sea.
The fishermen were very good at swimming, and they wouldn't die in a short period of time. As long as they didn't break their hands or legs, they could soak in the sea for a few hours. However, they soon screamed because Dongfang Qingyu had sent many piranhas into the sea. piranhas would go crazy when they saw blood, but no matter who you were, you were a fisherman. Bite when you see it.
Qian Shanmu and Xue Yannan are thinking very well, surround and attack. Causing the warship to be at a loss, but he neglected a very realistic problem. There were indeed a lot of fishermen, but the warship's performance was strong... The second generation warship was not the first generation warship with sufficient power. It was very flexible, when the second generation warship sailed, it could throw out 18,000 kilometers of the fisherman's ship. The fisherman could not catch up, so there was no way to surround it.
If there was enough time, one second generation warship could destroy all the fishermen's boats. Now, the second generation warship wasn't just one, it was 20. Get out! The two ships guarding the port and the three warships to deal with the feint. The remaining 15 second-generation warships all began to move, coordinating with each other... The range of 2000-2500 meters gave the battleship a wide range of attacks.
On the surface of the sea, one wave after another exploded. As for the specific distance, the cries of the fishermen could not reach the shore. However, the people on the shore could see the scene of ships exploding on the sea, 2,000 ships of various sizes. In less than half an hour, more than half of the ships were gone. And the fishermen didn't even touch the tail of the ships. This wasn't a war. This was a massacre, a one-sided massacre.
"Nanfei!" One of the higher ups couldn't bear to look at him directly as he looked at Qian Shan, Mu Xue, and Yan Nan Fei.
"Retreat!" Qian Shanmu and Xuannan Fei didn't want to end like this, but there was no other way. In his mind, the only way to deal with the warship was senior's' Super Forbidden Spell '. However, he could only think about it.
Putting aside the fact that the' Super Forbidden Spell 'of the Angry Sea Mad Dragon had yet to pass its cooling period, even if it were to arrive... It was useless. With the range of the warship, the Super Forbidden Spell could at most destroy two warships. Dongfang Qingyu still had 18 more, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he lost two.
The horn to retreat sounded, and the fishermen ran away. The fishermen on the shore retreated very quickly, and after a few steps, they were out of the range of the Hong Martial Cannon. The fishermen on the sea were in trouble.
Previously, the fishermen were at the back, and the warship was at the front. But now, it was the opposite. The fishermen ran at the front, and the warship chased after them. The fishermen truly experienced what it felt like to have nowhere to run to. No matter where they ran, there would be cannonballs blasting at them, leaving about a thousand ships. Less than fifty ships had been retrieved. The rest had turned into pieces of wood and floated on the sea. As for the fishermen who had fallen into the water, some were still struggling in the sea. Even more of them had died. There were not many piranhas. Dongfang Qingyu was also worried that it would affect his expression, so he did not dare to throw too many of them. Otherwise, the fishermen would not have any time to struggle.
He didn't know how many fishermen would be able to come back alive in the end, but it definitely wouldn't be too many.
In this battle, Dongfang Qingyu had lost one man. The fishermen had lost more than 250,000 men, or perhaps even more. Many of the fishermen who had gone missing couldn't be counted.
The value of the ammunition used on Dongfang Qingyu's side was unknown to Qian Shanmu, Xue, and Yan Nanfei. However, most of their ships had been destroyed, which was a huge fortune for the fishermen. Everyone was in low spirits. After this battle, the fishermen did not start a war anymore. It was as if they had realized the truth.
Dongfang Qingyu did not care about what the fishermen were planning. He only gave an order. Seal off the coastline and prevent the fishermen from going into the sea, regardless of day or night. As long as the fishermen dared to approach the beach and enter the range of the Hong Martial Cannon, the Hong Martial Cannon could fire directly without waiting for orders.
Although it was impossible to stop every fisherman, it was impossible for the fishermen to enter the sea on a large scale.
"Don't be discouraged. Victory and defeat are only temporary. After all, the East Sea is our territory. As long as we don't agree, Dongfang Qingyu won't be able to collect stones. He won't be able to build the port. Finally... He still wants to help us." Qian Shan Mu Xue and Yan Nan encouraged the fishermen to listen to him. The fishermen were in a much better mood.
That's right, no matter how powerful Dongfang Qingyu was, so what if the warship was more advanced? Could he still go ashore? The East Sea was the world of fishermen. If Dongfang Qingyu wanted to build the port smoothly, he would have to beg them sooner or later.
If the Thousand Sunsets Snow Goose Nanfei flew, it would be a slap in the face very soon. The next day, the fishermen were surprised to find that there were many craftsmen at the port. They were busy like ants, rebuilding the port.
"How is that possible? Where did they get the stones?" Qian Shan Mu Xue and Yan Nanfei stood at a high altitude and looked at the port, shocked and angry. The construction of the port required wood, steel, and stones, which required a lot of stone. This was also the reason why the fishermen were fearless. But now... The port did not transport the stones from the quarry. Where did the stones come from?
"Could there be a traitor?" A high ranking person guessed. This possibility wasn't non-existent. Although the fishermen were generally united, they couldn't rule out those who weren't united.
"Carrier!" Qian Shanmu and Xue Nanfei shivered. They suddenly realized that they had overlooked the biggest problem. Carrier, since they could transport cannons, how could it be difficult to transport stone materials?
It was hateful that he had only thought of his mining field. He had actually neglected the fact that stone mines were not rare ores. It was a relatively common resource, a rare ore. For example, iron ore was not something that could be found casually, but stone ores were different. It could be found easily. Without their quarry, Dongfang Qingyu could totally mine from other places.
Transporting the stone was a relatively large project, but with Dongfang Qingyu's transport ship, the difficulty of this project immediately dropped.
"I said that during the battle yesterday, I didn't see the transport ship. I thought it was to avoid the war, but it turned out that it was to transport the stone. Dongfang Qingyu is too crafty." One of the higher-ups came to a realization.
After knowing the answer, not only were they not happy, but they also looked like they had lost their mother. This was because they were saying that they no longer had any means to restrain Dongfang Qingyu.
They thought that by occupying the quarry, they could take over this road and submit to Dongfang Qingyu. However, Dongfang Qingyu did not follow the script that they had designed. Dongfang Qingyu wrote the script himself and acted it himself.
"What do we do now?" Everyone looked at Qian Shanmu and Yan Nanfei. Qian Shanmu and Yan Nanfei were frowning deeply. He did not know what to do.
"Why don't we fight with Dongfang Qingyu? It's not easy to go into the sea. The harbor is on the shore." One of the higher ups, Warrior, gritted his teeth and said, but no one agreed with him. Putting aside the fact that the 20 cannons were not easy to pass through, how could the warships on both sides of the port solve the problem? 20 warships approached together and 200 Hong Martial Cannons were fired at the same time. Who could withstand it? The Boss would have to take a detour even if it saw it.
At this time, the port was no longer the one they had ambushed previously. Previously, there was only the Arrow Tower and no cannons. But now, it was different. The other party did not make the Arrow Tower anymore, but directly fired the cannons.
"There are so many of us, could it be that we can't do anything to Dongfang Qingyu?" Warrior was very angry, and everyone was also very angry, but it seemed like there was nothing they could do about it.
"Let's wait for senior to come out first." Qian Shanmu, Xue Yannan, had no other choice but to use the Dragging Symbol Art. But very quickly, the higher ups, who were led by him, realized that the Dragging Symbol Art was not that easy to use.
Most of the fishermen were poor and did not have much savings. They lived by fishing. Every day, they went out to sea to catch fish. If they caught more, they would eat more. If they caught less, they would eat less. There was no stock.
Fish were seafood and did not want vegetables, fruits, and potatoes to be preserved for a long time. Fish could easily rot, so fishermen did not have the habit of storing food. Dongfang Qingyu had locked down the coastline for more than five days, and the fishermen had eaten everything they could. Some of them were already hungry.
Food was the sky for the people. It was not okay to not have food, but one or two meals was okay. One or two days, one's physical strength suddenly weakened. On the third or fourth day, you can still find a friend to help you. After the fourth day, basically all the fishermen had run out of food. You ask me, I ask you, their pockets are empty. What should they do? The fishermen had no choice but to look for them. This question, which usually did not seem like a problem, caused Qian Shan, Mu Xue, Yan Nanfei and the rest of the upper echelons to be stumped.
"There's no food left?" All of them were dumbfounded when they heard this question. The fishermen actually didn't have any fish to eat? This was simply the biggest joke in the world. However, this question was firmly placed in front of everyone.
