behind me is the earth.

Chapter 274.

In Yunlong County, the giant scratched his head involuntarily as he watched the sudden series of explosions outside the city.Just now it was obvious that a shot was fired!

On the current city of Yunlong County, there are more than a dozen cannons, all of which were unloaded by Zheng Shaoguan from sea ships.But the cannonballs had already been almost consumed in the two days of battle, and now the people below installed the cannonballs, and then the giants held them in their hands, aiming at the place where the sea monsters gathered together, and then carrying out precise strikes.

"call out!"

Amidst the screaming sound, the second round of artillery followed closely.

There was another violent explosion on the battlefield, and a large number of sea monsters were blown into flesh and blood.

After several rounds of artillery plowed the ground, a vacuum covered by gun pits was formed between the sea monsters at the city wall and the sea monsters behind.

"Amazing!"

The soldiers on the top of the city were all shocked by the spectacular explosion.With such dense cannonballs, the screaming sound in the sky continued one after another, and the flames of explosions came and went one after another, engulfing groups of sea monsters, and the terrifying shock wave directly blown the nearby sea monsters away!
The gun craters were layered on top of each other, but the gun craters were filled with puffy flesh and blood.

"Too prodigal!"

The pirates who came ashore were also dumbfounded at the successive explosions. There were explosions everywhere in the east of the city, and there were often dozens of shells that landed at the same time. Like a small boat in the wind and rain, it will be engulfed by the flames of this explosion!

For them, every cannonball is bought by the Zaoju Bureau of Yuntai County at an expensive price. Every cannonball is shot out of money, and the cannonballs are often fired with pinch fingers and aimed at them!
But this kind of fight is completely free of money. Where have they ever seen such a rich fight!
"This is the arrival of the lord's support!"

Zheng Shaoguan saw that the style of play was like a meteorite falling from the sky, a natural disaster, and he knew that it must be the Yuntaiwei!

He ran out of the city gate tower, stood excitedly on the top of the city, facing the hunting sea breeze, and looked in the direction of Menglong Mountain.

He was under too much pressure during this time, and now that Yuntaiwei is here, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Beside him, the dark-skinned Liu Wu was also very excited.

There was a burst of cheers from the city.

The sea monster started to retreat like a tide!
Apparently a sudden burst of shelling knocked them back.

"Follow me out of the city to meet Yuntaiwei!"

Zheng Shaoguan didn't send anyone to chase after the sea monster, it's because his subordinates were already exhausted from fighting in the afternoon.

What they need most now is to eat, sleep and rest.

Moreover, although the sea monsters are retreating, they are not swarming away. In these sea monsters, there is no fear, and there will be no collapse and escape. The charge of fear of death, the tireless battle.

If they really chased them out of the city, these monsters would immediately engulf his subordinates as long as they countercharged.

Soon, Shaoguan Zheng saw a long team coming down from Menglong Mountain.

Clusters of light were emitted from their team, illuminating the main road. On the winding mountain road, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the city.

They were all armored, and they came in a line, and standing in front of them, they only felt that the iron blood was rushing towards their faces, and no enemy could stop them from marching towards victory. This kind of confidence in one body gave people heavy pressure!
It also gave Zheng Shaoguan a reassurance.

"What a brave and iron-blooded army!"

Zheng Shaoguan was very happy to see that the lord sent out such an elite army.I just feel that this protagonist who has never met before really treats me well!

"Your Majesty Zheng Shaoguan, see the general!"

Facing the Heijia general who came on horseback, Zheng Shaoguan bowed and said.

"Mr. Zheng doesn't need to be too polite."

Zhou Ming looked at this dark-skinned, tall and mighty middle-aged man with a goatee.

Facing Shaoguan Zheng, he didn't dare to take a big shot, and jumped off the horse neatly.

This man is the supporter behind the lord, one-third of the military rations are shipped from overseas by him, and a large amount of goods such as Qingcheng silk, cloth, ready-made clothes, soap, paper and pens are also shipped out through his sea port Overseas, as an old man of Yuntaiwei, Zhou Ming knows a lot about Zheng Shaoguan.

He helped Shaoguan Zheng up, and said politely: "Mr. Zheng's name is like a thunderbolt. When I saw him today, he was really extraordinary. My name is Zhou Ming, and I am the colonel and brigade commander of the first division and brigade. Mr. Zheng should not call me a general, but call me the brigade commander." Can."

"Then I'll call Brigadier Zhou. Brigadier Zhou is exhausted. I'll ask someone to prepare some thin wine in the city. I'll ask Brigadier Zhou to give me a favor."

Looking at the elite soldiers behind Zhou Ming, Zheng Shaoguan felt a sense of security in his heart.

"There is still food and grass in the city?"

Zhou Ming asked.

"The city hoards a large amount of food and grass, enough to feed the entire city's soldiers and civilians for a year."

Zheng Shaoguan said proudly: "When the sea monster rebellion first appeared, I sent people to mobilize food everywhere, and it has already filled the Chengping warehouse in the city."

The wind started at the end of Qingping.

Zheng Shaoguan has been a maritime merchant for so many years, he has been a merchant as well as a pirate, and he has already acquired the insight of "one night, one color can tell the autumn of the world".

"It's so good, it can greatly reduce the logistical pressure."

Zhou Ming said happily.

Now the war is all about logistics, and Qingcheng Town is far away from here, the demand for food and grass is less, and more shells can be transported here!
"Brigade Commander Zhou, shall we enter the city?"

Zheng Shaoguan invited.

Zhou Ming refused: "No, I can't drink alcohol in the current war. Mr. Zheng, don't let me make mistakes. However, the sergeants have been exhausted all the way, so we'd better prepare a dinner and have a full stomach first."

"It's simple."

Zheng Shaoguan immediately arranged for people to go down to cook.

"Mr. Zheng, you have been fighting for days, have you ever seen a wise sea monster in the sea?"

Upstairs above the city gate, Zheng Shaoguan still prepared wine and meat for someone to deliver.

While eating at the table, Si Nian took the opportunity to ask.

"Smart sea monster?"

Zheng Shaoguan asked curiously: "I have been floating in the sea all year round, but I have heard people say that there is a race of mermaids in the sea, who have the same wisdom as humans.

I also heard that there was a conch that became a monster, and turned into a human girl, and the blood that flowed out after being cut by a knife would turn into beautiful pearls after solidification.

There are also sea elves, who can sing beautifully, guide people out of the misty sea, and confuse people into the deep ocean.

But I have never seen these, and I have always regarded them as myths and legends. "

"In today's world, all kinds of weird things can happen, and all kinds of weird creatures can appear.

What Mr. Zheng said may not be groundless.

When the sea monster retreated just now, our people heard the sound from the sea, and after the sound sounded, the sea monster quickly withdrew into the sea. "

Si Nian said.

"sound?"

Zheng Shaoguan frowned, he had not heard any sound.

Si Nian explained: "It's a sound that humans can't hear. I consulted the masters of Yuntai University, and they said that it is a sound wave that is beyond the range that humans can capture. It is called infrasound or ultrasonic waves.

And in my town guard mansion, there is a strange person who can hear the voice of the wise sea monster. "

Zheng Shaoguan was relieved upon hearing this.

Zhou Ming swallowed the food in his mouth, and suggested: "Tomorrow, let that strange person listen to the voice and judge the direction. Once the direction is determined, the artillery battalion will bomb it immediately to see if it can kill this wise sea monster." !"

"You can give it a try."

Si Nian nodded.

Smart sea monsters often hide in the sea and never go ashore, and there are a large number of sea monsters around them for protection, so it is extremely difficult to catch!

"Chuchu, you will observe from the sky tomorrow. If you really hit the wise sea monster, you must bring it back as soon as possible regardless of life or death."

Si Nian and Bai Chuchu said.

"it is good!"

Chu Chu, who was lowering her head to pick up the rice, heard the words, and quickly raised her head to answer.

As someone recommended by Ruan Tang, Si Nian also gave Chu Chu a high regard, and brought her along for dinner.

At this time, Zheng Shaoguan recommended: "Let Zhang Shan go too... Zhang Shan is that giant, and I have a stranger named Peggy who grows fish gills and can control water. When the time comes, let her also go together.

In addition, I have a strange thing here, which happens to be given to Brigadier Zhou and the guardian envoy... Suantaoer, go to my library and bring the bamboo box at the bottom of the second row of bookcases. "

They ate and chatted, and not long after, Suan Tao'er went to the city and brought a bamboo box over.

Zheng Shaoguan opened the box himself, groped around in the box, and then took out... He took out a thin rope with a knot still on it.

"Ah this..."

Si Nian was puzzled.

But Zheng Shaoguan shook lightly, as if picking up an invisible garment, and put it on his body.

"Oh!!"

Exclaimed during the banquet.

Zheng Shaoguan's body disappeared, leaving only one head exposed, as if only one head was floating in the air!
If it weren't for this series of demonstrations, seeing such a human head suddenly would have shocked people!
"This is a rare item that I got overseas in a place called Basa Island. This Basa Island is not very big, but there are four or five small countries on it, and wars are fought all year round.

At that time, after we went ashore to contact one of the small countries and exchanged supplies, they saw that I had a large number of people and treated them fairly and kindly, so they took out this strange object and begged us to help them fight.

According to them, it was made by peeling off the skin of an invisible alien! "

Zheng Shaoguan briefly explained the origin of this strange object, and then stretched out his hand behind his back and pulled it on the head, and immediately his head disappeared under the witness of everyone!
"However, the sounds of breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow are all there, just deceiving our eyes."

Si Nian looked in Zheng Shaoguan's direction and said.

Zhou Ming praised: "Even so, it's quite a strange thing. I've never seen or heard of it before."

Zheng Shaoguan took off the cloak, and the rope tied inside reappeared. He held the rope: "This is the style of a cloak. If it weren't for this rope, it would be hard to find this cloak if it was lost."

"Chuchu, this cloak will be handed over to you tomorrow."

Si Nian said.

"Huh~"

Chu Chu couldn't help curling her lips.

She heard it just now, it is made of human skin!

However, facing Si Nian's stern eyes, she responded with a soft "Oh".

Si Nian was also thinking about her safety.

One night, a brigade of soldiers took turns guarding the city.

The scouts released drones to continuously monitor the sea area over the coast to prevent sea monsters from taking the opportunity to attack.

In the past few days, the sea monsters really stopped overnight, which also made it rare for Zheng Shaoguan and his subordinates to get a good night's sleep.

The people in the city also had a rare good night's sleep.

The sea monster besieged the city, the roars outside the city every day, and the fierce battle on the city wall all challenged the fragile nerves of the people in the city. When Yuntaiwei came, the common people seemed to see their relatives!
And Yuntaiwei's clean military discipline also left a deep and beautiful impression on them.

Early the next morning,
The sea was calm.

On the top of the city, Zheng Shaoguan huddled next to the scouts of Yuntaiwei, looking in amazement at the clear picture on the large monitor that the drone came back thousands of meters away.

On this screen, he could even see, under the seemingly calm sea surface, there were innumerable shadowy figures crawling and crouching.

"How many sea monsters are there?"

He couldn't help exclaiming.

"How many ships does Mr. Zheng have?"

Zhou Ming came over, eating with two big buns in his hands.

"There are still 12 fleets going out to sea, 17 ships parked in southern ports, 7 ships in Bowan Island, and 7 ships in the port of Ningyang Province, adding up to 43 ships.

This time also lost 17 ships. "

Zheng Shaoguan calculated for Zhou Ming, and said melancholy: "Now it seems that the situation is still treacherous, and it is still unknown whether the sea can be sailed in the future."

"So we must catch some intelligent sea monsters, understand the things in the sea, and know the details of the enemy, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy, and formulate the next countermeasures."

Si Nian said: "As for the study of sea monsters, when the first massacre of the village happened, Governor Ren entrusted this task to the Town Guard's Mansion and the Divine Arrow Division."

Hearing the words, Zheng Shaoguan clasped his hands in the direction of Yuntai County and praised: "My lord is far-sighted, considers the overall situation and moves, and plans for eternity."

Until the afternoon, the sea was quiet.

However, with drones cruising at low altitude on the sea surface, every move of these sea monsters under the water surface is under the control of Yuntaiwei, and no one is afraid of looking at the calm and unknown sea anymore.

Looking at these drones, Zheng Shaoguan was extremely greedy!
But this thing is completely restricted from buying and selling. He has money and has nowhere to buy it.

"there's noise!!"

Li Zijie, who had been sitting cross-legged on the wall with his eyes closed and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

The next moment, everyone also saw that the calm sea began to boil.

"Azimuth, where is the azimuth?"

Si Nian asked quickly.

"A distance of 16 miles, with me as the center, at 12 o'clock."

Li Zijie pointed forward.
