Shennong Sequence

Chapter 236: The Dragon Fury-class Battleship
"The military's warships have arrived!"

Zhao Yun and Xin Ruyin stood on the top of a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. Their eyes swept past the biting wind and looked into the distance. They saw an extremely large warship approaching the edge of Yunyang City below.

In addition, Zhao Yun also used his spiritual eyes to check and found that there were indeed people on the warship. They fell directly onto the city gate wall, talked to the person guarding the city gate, and stayed on the city gate without leaving.

After seeing this situation, Zhao Yun said "hmm" to Jing Da Si Nong, and after a while he sent a message to his side saying: There happened to be a warship transporting city defense vehicles from Guihongzhou City to Yunyang Prefecture City.

He had also made proper arrangements with the people on the warship, asking them to escort him back to Hongzhou City.

In addition, the person responsible for this matter is Qu Feiyu.

At this moment, Zhao Yun was observing the arrival of the warships, and it was just as Jing Da Si Nong said.

He took Xin Ruyin back to the divine spiritual realm, and then used the Floating Cloud Robe to fly swiftly down the mountain.

This trip to Guihongzhou City, being able to board the military's war behemoth-like battleship and experience the war behemoth firsthand is undoubtedly a rare blessing.

In addition, the warship was shrouded in a faint, glowing protective halo, and one could sense at a glance that its protective power was extremely strong.

In addition, the densely packed artillery on the ship was like a group of dormant beasts, as if they would spew out flames of destruction at any time.

"This battleship is so powerful!"

However, Jing Da Si Nong failed to come in person to meet him, and Zhao Yun couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

However, he quickly comforted himself that it was good enough that someone came to pick him up.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yun landed at the east gate of Yunyang Prefecture where someone had fallen from the warship earlier.

After careful identity verification by both parties, a small hole that was only wide enough for one person to pass through was quietly opened on the city wall, signaling him to fly in.

Zhao Yun flashed, passed through the city defense formation, and landed steadily on the city wall.

At this time, the person who came to meet him hurriedly came forward, and he said respectfully:

"General Zhao, I am following Commander Qu's orders to stay on the city wall to meet you for the time being."

"Besides, the current situation is extremely special. We can only stay on the city wall for a short time at most. It is really difficult to enter the city. Even if the warships arrived before, they only stopped at the playground where the city guards were located to guard and unload the supplies."

"So, please wait for a moment. Once this batch of city defense supplies is delivered, we can return to the warship. Then we will be free and fly back to Hongzhou City."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Zhao Yun looked calm and had no objection.

In this special state of continent-wide alert, as a person who came suddenly from the outside world, he was able to skip the complicated and troublesome identity verification process when entering the city and was allowed to directly climb the city wall, which was already an extremely rare thing.

This is not easy.

As for the city guards in the city, out of caution, they did not dare to let him in easily. They must go through a strict identity verification process.

Therefore, everyone simply exchanged a few words between the two sides on the city wall and below the city, and then let him up without undergoing a strict identity check. The city guards would naturally not let him in easily unless a superior gave a direct order.

But obviously, Zhao Yun had no deep connection with Yunyang Prefecture. At most, he had a weak connection with the Sinong Supervisor. However, if he used this relationship, he would have to owe favors, and Zhao Yun did not want to waste favors here.

Also, we have already been through a lot of hardships in Yanshan, climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, so why should we care about waiting a little longer?
The person who was supposed to meet him breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Yun was so reasonable and had no intention of making things difficult for him or making any excessive demands.

Then he started chatting with Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun also took the opportunity to ask about various matters regarding Guihongzhou City, and the person who met him patiently answered his questions one by one. After all, as long as it did not involve confidential matters, it would be worth it to have some relationship with General Zhao.

Another half an hour later, Zhao Yun had a more detailed understanding of the situation in Guihongzhou City and the front line through a conversation with the people on the city wall and the adjutant who had just let him in.

It turned out that the Beiliang border island had made extremely thorough preparations to resist the invasion of the barbarians.

When implementing the strategy of fortifying the city and clearing the fields, not only were all the crops in the farmland outside the city harvested and stored in the granary.

As for those crops that have not grown or cannot be harvested in time, they will be burned, and the raging fire will turn the crops in the field into a scorched earth!
We must not leave any supplies for the barbarians.

In addition, every city, especially the border cities, had been carefully planned in advance and had made comprehensive secret preparations.

The city walls were repaired solidly, and the flashing lights of the array runes intertwined together, forming an invisible but indestructible protective barrier...

Since the invasion, the barbarians have come with great force and their shouts of killing have shaken the earth, as if they were going to massacre the entire border continent with blood.

But it took a heavy price to finally capture a border town!
After learning from the lesson, the other major cities would immediately send out distress signals to the surrounding major cities and Guihongzhou City as soon as they realized that the number of barbarian armies had gathered to a certain extent.

Guihongzhou City will mobilize top forces to provide rapid assistance.

This put the barbarian army in a dilemma.

On the one hand, although they seemed to have unimpeded access within the borders of Beiliang, they were actually unable to plunder the supplies they needed, and every step they took seemed like hitting cotton balls, harmless.

On the other hand, the cities were like solid tortoise shells, firmly nailed to the ground, ready for battle.

Don't encircle and suppress them. There are powerful defenders in the city and their strength should not be underestimated.

If they rashly penetrate into the border of Beiliang, these cities will unite, like an invisible net, dividing and surrounding their army until they are slowly consumed...

This is a huge hidden danger!
And when they tried to attack some resource-rich cities, they found that the city's defense specifications and loaded war vehicles had become far beyond the ordinary...

In addition, there are Gongshujia and Mojia monks in every city. They are extremely skilled in engineering and city defense, making these cities like indestructible fortresses, extremely difficult to conquer... In addition, the guards are monks, and there are many monks in the city, so they will not sit and wait for death...

This makes it very difficult to attack the city.

Moreover, whenever the barbarian army gathered all its strength to attack a city, the Great Zhou would quickly dispatch small guerrilla armies with extremely fast speed from various cities to harass the border from all directions, making it difficult for the enemy to cope.

Not to mention, there are also the major frontier army corps originally stationed on the border...

In addition, there is the Flying Bear Legion that came quickly from the Great Zhou to provide support.

Although the Flying Bear Legion has only 10 members, it is a special legion with a complete system and a strong military spirit. Its combat effectiveness is amazing, and when its military spirit shines, it can suppress all extraordinary things!
This would require several or even dozens of times more ordinary legions, or a special legion with the same condensed military spirit from the barbarians, in order to compete with it.

In short, although the barbarians of the Canglan Grassland occupied a large area of ​​land during their invasion of the Beiliang Border Continent, they had a hard time obtaining supplies, and they were even more helpless against the cities located at the major geocentric nodes.

The war situation, just as expected by the upper echelons of Beiliang Bianzhou, Jing Dasinong, Zhang Zhouling and others, fell into a stalemate.

This put the barbarians of the Canglan Grassland in a dilemma. They were unable to plunder enough supplies and were simply unable to meet the needs of the various tribes on the grassland who were extremely short of supplies due to severe drought throughout the summer.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Beiliang border island has abundant water and grass and certain geographical resources.

However, these resources are difficult to convert into practically usable materials in the short term, and remain a serious problem for the barbarians as a whole.

Zhao Yun nodded slightly. Although what he heard from the contact person about the situation of the war in Beiliang Border Island was a little unexpected, it made sense when he thought about it carefully.

After a while, the military warships slowly took off from the playground after completing the unloading of supplies from the city guards of Yunyang Zhongfu.

Later, when passing by the city wall, Zhao Yun and the personnel responsible for receiving him were brought back to the warship.

At this time, Zhao Yun finally met Qu Feiyu, who was actually responsible for picking him up and was also the commander of this warship.

"General Zhao, I have long heard of your great name! You are now a household name in our Beiliang Border Continent. I am honored that Grand Minister Jing told me to come and meet you."

Qu Feiyu said this with a smile on his face, and a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said that he wanted to add Zhao Yun as a friend.

Zhao Yun agreed.

Moreover, this is the first person I met in Guihongzhou City who can help each other and we can chat more.

After the two added each other as friends, Qu Feiyu said, "General Zhao, I know what you are worried about. But you can rest assured. When ordinary monks see our warship, they will be like mice seeing cats and will never dare to provoke us.

Even if we encounter a small group of barbarians wreaking havoc in the surrounding area, a single shot from our main gun will turn them into dust in an instant, and their souls will be shattered!

You can just sit here and relax. We still need to go to two cities to escort some equipment. After about half a day, we will be able to return to Hongzhou City."

Zhao Yun nodded slightly, as long as he could arrive at Guihongzhou City safely.

Then I looked at the main guns and secondary guns on the warship. They were definitely good stuff...

Zhao Yun asked curiously:

"Commander Qu, I wonder if I can move around freely on this warship? This is my first time on a warship. I am very curious about this war machine and want to take a closer look."

"Of course you can. I can accompany you for a walk and explain to you in detail the various wonders of this 'Sixth-grade Dragon Fury Battleship'." Qu Feiyu responded quickly. However, the ship's guns can be seen, but there are some places that cannot be viewed by outsiders according to fixed regulations.

For example, the energy area on this battleship is of paramount importance.

In addition to the captain, only three special personnel responsible for this matter have the right to enter.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun followed Qu Feiyu and walked along the edge of the Dragon Fury's hull.

Qu Feiyu enthusiastically introduced the names of each war machine one by one, as well as their specific powers.

"This Dragon Fury warship is of the sixth rank, and the defensive formation on the entire warship is also arranged according to the top specifications of the sixth rank. Under normal circumstances, except for those sixth rank attacks that can perform special abilities such as special communication with fate or other strange curses, other conventional sixth rank attacks are extremely difficult to break through such a sixth rank protective shield!"

"Also, even if a '6th-grade Wuyi Lingxiang' warrior who focuses on the development and evolution of his individual body and has the strongest melee destructive power comes in front of the battleship's protective shield, he can withstand more than half a month of bombardment."

"But with so much time, the warships could have already activated their main guns to fight back, or flown away from their original positions or dangerous places. Why would they just stay where they are and get hit?"

"In addition, the main battle vehicle on this sixth-level Dragon Fury-class battleship was carefully designed and built by Gong Shujia. The power of this main gun is terrifying. Even if it faces someone with the strongest personal protection ability among the sixth-level battleships, they will be bombarded half to death!"

“And according to other standards, when the main gun bombards a mountain with full force, it can directly destroy a mountain ten miles in size in an instant!
"In addition, that kind of collapse is not a simple explosion that causes large chunks of the mountain to slide down. Instead, it can cause all matter within a mile of the center of the collapse to completely turn into dust and disappear without a trace!"

"And if multiple war machines of this specification were gathered together, they would be a very intimidating presence for fifth-grade practitioners..."

Zhao Yun listened carefully, observed the war machines with interest, and looked at Qu Feiyu, who was obviously interested in making friends with him.

Then, Zhao Yun took this opportunity to continue asking more questions about the classification of warships or flying boats, and wanted to find out about the war potential in Guihongzhou City.

Qu Feiyu thought for a moment and patiently explained: "Battleships, a kind of legion weapon, are essentially a form of flying boat. Generally speaking, the lowest grade of a flying boat is defined as the eighth grade."

"As for the ninth-grade items, those so-called objects that can carry people flying, such as some ordinary flying swords, or things that rely on levitation magic, magnetic magic, wind and cloud magic, etc., which can barely make objects or people fly, can only be regarded as relatively low-level items among the ninth-grade items."

"And starting from the eighth level, it is considered the real starting stage of the flying boat."

"Of course, strictly speaking, an eighth-grade flying boat is not a rare thing. According to common standards, it is just a personal flying vehicle, usually controlled by one person. In special circumstances, it can squeeze three to five people on it."

"In addition, the flight speed of this small vehicle will drop sharply as the number of people on board increases, seriously affecting its maneuverability."
