Chapter 1130 Don't talk about it
In the city lord's palace in the center of Jukou City, the city lord's face was full of horror, and his hands were trembling. The call was coming! The Wang family's fleet really dared to attack Chongming Island, are they crazy!
He just heard an explosion in the direction of the port, so he sent someone to check the situation. He was just a collateral descendant of the An family, and he had made enough money in Jukou City over the years, so of course he didn't want to cause any problems before leaving.
The people sent out came back in less than a quarter of an hour, and brought back the guard commander, captain, and two men who were in charge of the port.
When he heard that four docks were bombed into ruins and dozens of seven-story treasure ships were blown up, his heart sank to the bottom. Although the results of the overseas war had an impact on him, he felt that the Wang family fleet was still
It was very far away from him. Even if he was killed, he would never have thought that the other party would really dare to attack Chongming Island. How many ships did they have in total?
"What do you do for food? You are the guards, why don't you fight back?" The city lord yelled angrily. He was very scared now. He couldn't bear the responsibility for the destruction of Jukou City's port, and they might be able to kill him.
life.
The commander cursed in his heart: "Fight back, no matter how you fight back, you can't even see the ship! It's easy for you to touch your lips with your lips, but we are going to die!"
"City Lord, we can't even get on the ship! The opponent's weapons are too powerful!" The captain knelt on the ground and cried.
"It can't be defeated without a fight. You are still not a soldier of Chongming Island! Go to the shipyard immediately. There are still ships there. No matter how powerful the weapons of the Wang family fleet are, they only have dozens of ships. We have many ships, so I don't believe we can't kill them.
Him!" the city lord yelled.
The commander lowered his head and said: "City Lord, should we send a message to the main city..."
"Nonsense, do you still need to remind me? Take people to the shipyard right now! Hurry!" The city lord's idea is very simple. If the resistance is lost, others will take action on him. After all, the combined fleet has lost. As for the lives of his subordinates,
He won't care whether it's life or death.
The leaders are almost furious. After following you for so many years, you finally asked us to die.
But at this moment, a subordinate suddenly ran in and reported stammeringly: "City Lord, something bad happened! The shipyard was attacked and most of the battleships have been blown up!"
"What?" The city lord was shocked at that time. He only felt his scalp tingling. The other party actually entered the river. Isn't that Jukou City... An uncontrollable sense of fear swept through his body, causing him to fall into the ice cellar. Jukou City
Built along the river, with the range of the opponent's weapons, wouldn't the entire Jukou City be within the opponent's attack range?
The commander, captain, and the two fat and thin people looked at the stunned city lord, and felt happy in their hearts. Didn't you let us die because you were so paralyzed? Now that the shipyard has been bombed, let's see what you do!
"Boom, boom, boom..." They all heard a faint explosion in the room. Then another subordinate ran in and reported in horror: "City Lord, the opponent has expanded the attack range, and the warehouses around the shipyard have been destroyed.
Now. Now there is riot in the city..."
The city lord walked out quickly, and as soon as he reached the front yard, he could already hear the chaos outside. Crying and shouting could be heard endlessly.
"It's over, Jukou City is over!" The city lord shook suddenly and almost fell down. One of his subordinates rushed forward to support him and whispered: "City lord, leave quickly! If they launch an attack on the city lord's mansion...
"
"Let's go! Let's go!" The city lord trembled suddenly, turned around and ran towards the backyard. He looked at each other with the commander and captain who came out, and ran out quickly! As for counterattacks, just pull him down, his life is almost gone now.
Guaranteed...
At this time, in the river, on the leading boat of the Wang family's fleet, the envoy from Sizhou Island turned pale. The attack on the port dock was far away and he could not see clearly. Now that he was attacking the shipyard, he saw with his own eyes the destructive power of the cannon. In just a few minutes, a ship occupied an area of
The large shipyard covering tens of thousands of square meters was reduced to rubble.
He understood now. Jiang Xingchen didn't shy away from it at all, just letting himself witness such a terrifying attack! In order to shock himself. Or in other words, shock his enemies!
Although the two guards at the sixth level of vitality had also experienced bombardment, they were at sea. Seeing the power of cannons attacking land targets, they felt chills on their backs.
"Almost, stop the attack!" Jiang Xingchen raised his hand, and all the cannons on the ship stopped firing. In less than a month (a month) from the beginning of the attack, thousands of cannonballs have been fired at the ports and docks of Jukou City.
, all shipyards were destroyed, and the goal has been achieved.
Soon, the fleet exited the river and began to move forward along the coastline!
At this time, there was a lot of crying in Jukou City, especially those who had lost ships and cargo. They were howling loudly. The losses were too great. Even the ordinary people could not stand the sight of crying and robbing.
Although the explosions stopped, the city became even more chaotic. The civilians did not dare to go home for fear of further attacks. There were also some gangsters who took advantage of the chaos to start smashing, smashing, and looting, and the city became a mess...
Two days later, the main city of Chongming Island finally received the news from Jukou City. The senior officials were all panicked. Just like the owner of Jukou City, none of them expected that Jiang Xingchen actually dared to fight. The opponent had less than twenty people in total.
A seven-story treasure ship.
All the docks in the port were destroyed, dozens of seven-story treasure ships were destroyed, and countless small boats were destroyed. All the inventory warehouses were bombed, and the shipyard was also bombed into ruins. The losses cannot be calculated at all. Now Jukou City is still in a state of ruin.
In chaos.
"This is too much!" In the meeting hall, after reading the news, an elder was so angry that he slapped a table away and shouted: "Assemble warships from all major ports immediately to encircle and suppress them!"
"No, we must not fight!" Another elder objected: "The weapons of the Wang family fleet are too powerful! No matter how far you go, you will die!"
"Don't be alarmist! Their weapons are powerful, but we have more ships and more ants than elephants." The elder who was leading the battle shouted loudly.
The persuading elder smiled coldly and said: "But don't forget, they still have sixteen killer whales! No matter how many ships we have, we will never be able to get close to each other!"
"This..." The elder who was in charge was speechless. He really didn't consider the killer whale just now!
"Then we can't just let them show off their power like this! He attacked Jukou City, blew up the docks and shipyards, and most likely blocked our shipping. He will probably attack the next port soon." Another elder spoke.
"Negotiation, we have no other way but negotiation! Think about it carefully!" the persuading elder said coldly.
After everyone thought about it carefully, they realized that this was really the case. The opponent's fleet was not large, but its powerful weapons were enough to destroy all the port buildings, and they were unable to stop it. As long as the opponent did not land, Chongming Island had nothing to do.
Moreover, the opponent's sixteen killer whales are too annoying. No matter how many ships we have, we can't withstand the attack of the killer whales.
It was clear that the other party had less than twenty seven-story treasure ships, but they were able to block their shipping. This made the elders really frustrated.
Feeling aggrieved, I wanted to find someone to vent my anger on, and the city lord of Jukou City became the target. At that time, several elders spoke: "Why did the news come only two days ago? What does the city lord of Jukou City do for food? Send him immediately."
Take it down!"
But the next report from their subordinates made them even more depressed: "The lord of Jukou City ran away and is missing! That's why the news is one day late!"
"Run away! Check, check for me, we have to search all over Chongming Island to find him!" This news made the elders even more depressed and vomited blood. Now they can't even find anyone to vent their anger on.
At this time, the elder who advocated negotiation spoke again: "You still have time to find the Lord of Jukou City. Now you have to negotiate with Jiang Xingchen quickly. Do you want the next port to be destroyed by him?"
Immediately, an elder retorted: "Talk! How to talk? You know what Jiang Xingchen wants. He is so open-minded! Maybe he wants more than our shipping losses!"
"That's right! Aren't there just ten ports? So what if we don't have them? Our Chongming Island has millions of square miles, and we're still afraid of starving to death!"
"I agree too! If we compromise this time, I'm afraid we will be eaten to death by Jiang Xingchen in the future, and we will never be able to stand up again!"
Of course, some elders disagreed: "We are a maritime power. If our shipping is gone, wouldn't it mean that we have to be delisted overseas? No amount of losses can compare to this!"
"I don't believe that Jiang Xingchen has been guarding our coast! Don't think that I don't know why you want to compromise. Almost all of your family's business is in shipping..."
"Fuck you, I'm doing this for Chongming Island and for us to settle down!"
As they talked, the elders got into chaos, and they seemed to be throwing angry fists at each other.
"Hmph!" The elder who advocated the negotiation at the beginning sneered and said loudly: "You all seem to have forgotten that other people's fleets can enter the river. As long as there is a shipyard, they can reach it... You really think that you should give up the port.
Can you sit back and relax?"
In one sentence, the scene suddenly became silent, and the elders' heads were buzzing. Isn't it? The people in Jukou City were the shipyards that were destroyed by entering the river. And most of the cities on Chongming Island were built along the river. In that case
…
At this time, a disciple of the An family ran in in a panic and said anxiously: "Urgent news from Daheng Port, the Wang family fleet launched a massive attack. The port and shipyard were destroyed, the city lord's palace was bombed, and nearly a hundred people were killed or injured!"
"So fast!" The elders were stunned, and then shouted: "Negotiate! Negotiate now!"
This news finally made all the elders compromise. It was easy to say that the port and shipyard were bombed. But it was a bit scary that the city lord's palace was destroyed. This meant that the entire city was within the attack range. They really couldn't afford such losses.
.
Three days later, the Wang fleet continued along the coastline of Chongming Island and approached the third port.
A small boat came from the front and gradually approached the Wang family fleet. Soon after, Wang Heng found Jiang Xingchen and reported: "Sir, someone from Chongming Island is here to negotiate with you!"
Chapter completed!
