Chapter 69 Surfaced

Two hours later, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong came to the junction of the Wei River and Feng River, a secret water area south of Xianyang.

There is no one around ten miles away.

“Where is this?”

Li Xiaogong looked around strangely. Before entering this area, the two had already been questioned by five full whistles and secret whistles. Almost every one of them was holding a long, narrow sword that had never been seen before, and a strong crossbow that had been wound. In the invisible darkness, the two could clearly detect that there were more eyes staring at them.

"I don't know either. The prince just said that he would bring you here after you agree."

Li Daozong frowned. This place made him, a powerful general on the battlefield, feel obviously uncomfortable. The strictness here is no less than that of the military camp.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sudden roar appeared without warning, and Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong were shocked. Although they were both figures with unchanging colors in front of Mount Tai, the continuous roar of incense and the subsequent shaking of the earth still made them feel a little embarrassed.

"What happened? Isn't this... not the artillery of the Eastern Palace?"

"Look, look there..."

The two of them turned their heads and looked at the wide water in the distance, five huge giant ships were lined up in a row, and a thick smoke rose from one side of the ship.

When the two looked over, the sails of a giant ship were first rotated, and the hull slowly turned, and the other giant ships followed the first route and slowly turned around.

"This, this is..."

"The cannon on the ship! Where is my god!"

...

The two of them looked at the scene in front of them in amazement. As the fleet completed its turn, a huge roar appeared again.

The five giant ships fired differently, some six and some eight, but their targets were the same, a huge yurt about 3 miles away. (Refer to the Red Cannon, effective range is 1.5km, maximum range is 2.5km,)

The poor yurt had been blown into scum in the sight of the two of them. Not only that, the hundreds of meters around it seemed to have been plowed, the soil flew, pits everywhere, smoke and flames were emitting.

Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong looked at each other and saw a deep sense of fear in each other's eyes.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the two did not see the power of cannons with their own eyes. At that time, Li Daozong was still in Lingzhou. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Xiaogong hid at home and did not dare to go out. The two of them knew from others that there were weapons such as cannons.

I saw it with my own eyes today, and it opened the sky eyes of the two people. It was almost the limit of ordinary people's eyesight, but this cannon can hit it accurately. How did it do it? (It's not that it's invisible here, it's that it's indistinguishable)

"Two generals, the prince is welcome."

Just when Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong were shocked, a small boat came to the two of them, and a soldier standing upright, full of energy, wearing strange blue clothes.

The soldier first stood at attention with a snap, his right hand was closed together, his palms were stretched flat, and he raised them to a position near his temple.

Strange soldiers, strange salutes.

However, neither of them showed it on their faces, and just hid these doubts in their hearts. Perhaps, this is the uniqueness of the soldiers under Li Chengdao.

The two of them got on the boat, and the boat slowly leaned towards the five giant ships.

...

"...This is a fight too far..."

[Chengdao Name], Li Chengdao and his soldiers looked at the results of the battle with a telescope. Although the yurt was destroyed, Li Chengdao seemed not very satisfied. He had 70 consecutive shells, and the yurt was only 8 rounds that were hit by the yurt. The rest were either overkill or deviated from the direction, and there were even 5 or 6 rounds, and the distance from the yurt was dozens or hundreds of meters away.

"Your Highness, this is the best result."

Contrary to Li Chengdao's dissatisfaction, Sa Zhenbing looked at the results of the battle proudly at this moment.

"Before we went to sea, at such a long distance, even if we were equipped with a telescope and kept at a stationary state, our hit rate was below 5%. Now, because of the arc adjustment, it has been increased to 10%, and it is in a sailing state. This is a great improvement!"

Li Chengdao glared at Sa Zhenbing. This boy was still showing off, but what he said was true. If the young men from the Pacific Navy had not mastered the launch skills and could have a hit rate of about 10% in this state of navigation, it would have been very good. It should be rewarded.

"snort!"

Li Chengdao snorted coldly, pretending to be unsatisfied.

But I thought to myself: the sailing boats have too high requirements for wind and water flow, and the sailing speed and direction change are too slow. After this battle of Weishui, the steamship will speed up its progress.

In the past, Li Chengdao did not dare to build steamships, for fear that they would be discovered by Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, so he only modified them on the original sailboat. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, it was too late to build it. Jie Li would have to reach the Wei River in more than a month. Including the time of the Xuanwu Gate mutiny, it would only be three months to complete the battle. The prototype of the steamship was invisible in three months. It would be better to keep the effort to produce flintlock rifles and artillery to make it affordable.

Only after fighting with the Turks this time will Li Chengdao take action and click on the technology tree.
