Chapter 630 Chu Sheng’s Idea
Chapter 630 Chu Sheng’s Idea
Although four of their warships withdrew from the battle at the beginning, they still had seven warships! In terms of numbers, they still had an absolute advantage! However, because their spirit crystals and spirit stones were scarce, they did not dare to fire easily unless they missed the target. Therefore, they just fought with them in the air and looked for opportunities!
Li Yu saw that his warships were gradually losing the upper hand, and his purpose of deterrence had been achieved. He immediately let out a long roar and ordered the warships to quickly move closer to the ground!
Seeing that the four warships were fighting and retreating and had entered the range of ground artillery fire, he immediately waved to everyone and quickly landed on the ground!
The seven leaders of the Taotie Gang, who were furious, finally reacted and chased after them with roars!
In fact, Li Yu didn't really want to fight them! His purpose was to irritate them and make them lose their minds! Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Li Yu and Kuai Yiwen couldn't help but smile at each other! But Zhou Fulin and Xiong Ba seemed a little indignant and unwilling!
Dozens of cannons have already adjusted their muzzles under Namu Chengqi's command! Seeing that the four warships and Li Yu and others had safely retreated into the formation, he immediately shouted:
"Set off the fire!"
Because of too much force, the sound sounds as sharp as a knife!
The gunners had trained countless times! Today, it finally came in handy! The hands holding the ropes were already sweating! When they heard Mu Chengqi's shout, they immediately pulled hard!
Instantly, dozens of cannons simultaneously let out a deafening roar! Cannonballs rained down on the seven leaders of the Taotie Gang and the seven warships!
Hong Qiu was shocked when he saw dozens of flames flashing on the ground at the same time! He shouted:
"No! Everyone, get out of here!"
After hearing this, everyone retreated quickly without thinking! Thanks to their quick reaction, they were able to avoid the cannon attack! But when they heard the deafening roar and saw the rain of cannonballs, their faces were ugly and they were still frightened! After all, they were not gods, but mortals! Take the range of the cannonballs for example. If they were really hit by the cannonballs, they would be seriously injured or even killed!
They escaped, but those flying warships didn't have time to withdraw from the cannon's range. Four of the seven warships were hit, and two of them were directly blown to pieces by the shells because they were too close to the front! Half of the nearly 6,000 bandits inside died on the spot! After the rest of the bandits landed on the ground, they were still bombarded by the cannons, and only less than a thousand people escaped the cannon's range!
Of course, during the retreat, the Taotie Gang's warships could not help but launch a counterattack against the artillery positions on the ground! Although their cannons did not have as good a range as Lan Yuxing's, their accuracy was much better than theirs! As a result, three of Lan Yuxing's artillery positions were hit by shells, and dozens of gunners died on the spot!
Seeing the aggressive Taotie Gang being repelled, the entire Lingshan Mountain was suddenly plunged into a sea of joy! The suppressed emotions were instantly released!
Li Yu was also very excited! He didn't expect these cannons to be so powerful! They could actually stop the bandits from entering Lingshan!
Kuai Yiwen and Hou Rujing were also extremely excited! Even Luo Yupu, who had always been expressionless, smiled!
Hong Qiu was furious and kept cursing:
"Asshole! Asshole! I will destroy Lingshan Mountain and kill them all!"
No wonder he was so irritable! In this battle, the Taotie Gang suffered heavy losses! Three warships were scrapped, five spaceships were damaged, and nearly 10,000 bandits were killed!
You know, the bandits he brought this time were all the elite of the Taotie Gang! As soon as they came into contact, they lost three warships and more than 10,000 bandits before the battle even started! Even though they paid such a huge price, they were still blocked outside Lingshan! How could he not be angry? How could he not be troubled?
"Brother! Stop saying those useless things! Think about what we should do first!"
Seeing Hong Qiu yelling loudly, Qiu Ye couldn't help but shout.
"you……!"
Hong Qiu glared and was about to get angry, but he heard Du Chong whisper:
"Second brother, calm down! Third brother is right! We should really think of a way to deal with their cannons!"
"What can we do? What can we do? Just charge upwards! As long as we get close to the cannon, the cannon will lose its effect!"
Hong Qiu yelled angrily.
"Brother! Don't be so reckless! Let alone whether we can rush through! Even if we rush through, how many people will we lose? By then, even if we grab the star vein, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain to Brother, right?"
Du Chong had always been on good terms with Hong Qiu. Seeing that he seemed to have lost his mind, he hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Hong Qiu may not care about the rest, but the last sentence finally woke him up! You have to know that the Taotie Gang is different from the past, with less than 100,000 bandits left! This time, he brought half of the troops. If the casualties are serious, he really can't explain to the Taotie!
Others may not know what kind of person this boss is, but Hong Qiu, who has followed him the longest, knows it very well! On the surface, he looks kind, but in fact, he is cruel and ruthless! No matter who it is, as long as he really angers him, he will never show mercy!
These bandits are his foundation for a comeback, his capital! If they are damaged too much, the consequences will be disastrous! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and a bitter taste in his mouth!
"Then... then Sixth Brother, what do you think we should do?"
Seeing that Hong Qiu was losing his composure again, Du Chong could not help but sigh, bowed to everyone, and said loudly:
"Brothers! We came to Lanyu Star, but we didn't expect that they would have so many cannons, which hindered our mission! Under the current circumstances, we can't advance! Because they have cannons blocking us! We can't retreat! Before we set off, the brothers made a promise to the eldest brother! We vowed to capture Lanyu Star and obtain the star veins!
At present, the action is blocked. According to the second brother's suggestion, I hope that all brothers can work together to study a solution! "
"Haha! How difficult is that? We just need to capture some people from Lan Yuxing and have them block our way. I wonder if they dare to fire!"
That Chu Sheng smiled sinisterly.
"Tsk! Fourth brother! I thought you had some good ideas! That's it? If it were you, would you fire the cannon?"
Sister Hu Jiu said with disdain.
"Haha! Of course you and I will open fire! But those people may not! After all, they are under the guise of protecting the creatures of Blue Jade Star! They can't open fire on the creatures of Blue Jade Star, right? Even if they really open fire, it may not be a bad thing!"
Chu Sheng smiled slightly and stopped there! Obviously he wanted to whet everyone's appetite!
"Fourth brother! Don't keep us in suspense! If they really open fire, won't we be buried with them? What good will that do?"
Jiang Wei asked anxiously.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him in confusion, Chu Sheng coughed lightly and said:
"Think about it carefully. If they really give the order to fire, wouldn't that discourage those monks? You know, among those people there may be their relatives and friends! If so, wouldn't they be in chaos? I'm afraid that by then, without our attack, they will be like a pile of scattered sand!"
Everyone was stunned! Then they all couldn't help but burst into laughter! Sister Hu Jiu even laughed sweetly:
"Great! It's really great! In this way, they can neither fight nor not fight! If they fight, it will shake the morale of the army! If they don't fight, we can take the opportunity to attack! Without the threat of cannons, I wonder if they have any ability to stop us! Fourth Brother is really Fourth Brother!"
Chu Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, thinking: Isn't this nonsense? Who am I? How can I be compared to you brainless guys?
"Okay, okay! Seventh brother, ninth sister, I'll leave this matter to you! Capture more of them for me! With this human wall, I wonder if they dare to open fire!"
Hong Qiu also cheered repeatedly!
"Okay! Don't worry, Second Brother! Seventh Brother, let's go!"
The excitement slowly faded away, and seeing the Taotie gang members in the distance seeming to be planning to set up camp, Li Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought!
Logically speaking, since the other side has no other options, they should retreat immediately. Since they want to stay, they obviously have thought of a way to crack it! So how will they crack these cannons?
