The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 460 Transforming the Military Base

The construction efficiency of the Qin army's siege battalion was extremely terrifying. After just a few days, the entire island has completely changed.

The shape of this island is basically a ring-shaped island, and the entire area is about four to five hundred acres.

The original hill was located in the center of the island, and the surrounding ground was also uneven. It was flat in the northwest and slightly higher in the southeast.

After several days of continuous fighting by the engineering battalion, the rough ground was leveled and the wasteland became flat.

Moreover, the messy and disorderly houses originally built by the Japanese pirates on the hill have now become neat rows of fortifications and barracks that are good for defense.

On the top of the mountain, a tall flag stand was even erected, with a huge black tiger flag of the Qin army fluttering on it, and the flag fluttered under the blowing of the sea breeze.

The originally simple and small pier was completely changed, and it was transformed into a large pier that can dock ten heavy warships at the same time.

In the future, people and goods can directly disembark and disembark through the wharf, instead of passing through small boats.

Moreover, densely packed watchtowers were also built on the entire island, and there was also a huge lighthouse as high as five or six feet high.

A ten-foot-high wooden fence wall was built around the island, and traps were dug outside these walls. Inside the traps were all traps with sharpened swords and wooden thorns.

Moreover, there is a military camp in each of the remaining four directions of the island, and each military camp can accommodate at least 1000 people.

Then, a huge school field was leveled out on the wasteland in the south of the island as a training place for the soldiers guarding the island.

Di Qing led Deng Shichang and Bai Jinxiu to inspect the entire project construction for the past few days, offering opinions at any time.

Their goals are all the same, that is, to build this island into a military base at sea, and at the same time, it must also be a strong sea fortress. If someone wants to attack or occupy this fortress, it will definitely cost them a huge price.

And Bai Jinxiu these few days.Also, in order to make the plan they agreed to draw wages from the bottom more feasible and have a higher chance of success, they are also dividing those captured Wang Zhi's cronies.

As long as these people can agree to surrender, then even if Wang Zhi refuses to agree, there is no way in the end.

Finally, five days later, Wang Zhi was taken out of the prison and brought in front of Di Qing.

Di Qing looked at Wang Zhi, who was haggard and embarrassed, and said with a chuckle, "Hai Long Wang, how have you been these few days?"

Wang Zhi was originally full of confidence in himself, but in the past few days no one has paid attention to him, and he has lost a lot of confidence in the plan he originally proposed.

Before being taken out of the prison this time, the soldiers guarding him gave him a good meal, which made him feel that he was about to become a ghost under the knife, so when he heard Di Qing's question, he smiled wryly and said: : "Since General Di wants to kill Wang, why ask more questions. Talking is useless. I don't know when the general will do it.

Seeing Wang Zhi's expression of resignation, Di Qing let out a long laugh, and Wang Zhi who laughed was baffled and didn't know why.

Di Qing didn't say anything, and asked Wang Zhi to lead the way down the mountain.
Wang Zhi followed Di Qing down the mountain while looking at the unrecognizable island.

He had no idea that earth-shaking changes had taken place on the island in just a few days, and it was as if the sea had changed.There was constant astonishment in his expression, he looked at Di Qing for a while, and looked around constantly for a while, his eyes were full of inconceivable expressions.

However, Wang Zhizhi was also a hero who had crossed the sea for more than ten years. Although he was puzzled, he didn't ask.

He knew that Di Qing didn't directly order him to be killed, which meant that he had a chance.Di Qing must have his own intentions in doing this, so he just watched but didn't talk about it.

Di Qing also saw Wang Zhi's astonished expression, and walked directly to the newly built school without saying much.

Di Qing went directly to the stage, while Wang Zhi was guarded by two personal guards below the stage, scrutinizing the situation on the school field solemnly.

At this time, two phalanxes were neatly arranged on the field, one was the infantry phalanx, and the other was the artillery phalanx.All the soldiers were almost of the same height. They all wore short red military uniforms and flat-topped caps. They looked solemn and kept their eyes fixed.

Figures stood upright like javelins on the school field, waiting for Di Qing's order on the stage.

Although Wang Zhi was far away, he could sense an aura of looking down on the world from these soldiers.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Zhi was amazed by the uniform, horizontal and vertical queue.

Wang Zhi had seen the army of Ming Dynasty, the army of Fusang State, and the English soldiers who followed the English merchants in Fusang State.

But I have never seen such an aura exuded by the army in front of me.

Although it was only two small phalanxes, they exuded the aura of thousands of troops, which shocked Wang Zhi.

Di Qing walked up to the general platform, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of the two soldiers in the phalanx, he pulled out the long sword at his waist with a clang, raised it high, and shouted: "The martial arts show begins!"

In front of the two army formations, each commander drew out a long knife at his waist and gave orders loudly.

With an order, the exercise officially began. First, the infantry phalanx conducted the exercise.

Although today's firearms have been upgraded to very advanced rotary bolt rifles, both in terms of range, accuracy, and penetration, there is still no innovation in tactics, and the traditional three-stage shooting is still adopted.

Under the command of the commander, the entire military formation quickly lined up in three rows.

The first row squats down on one leg and raises the gun to aim ahead.The second column stands upright according to the aiming of the gun.

The third column sticks out the gun from the gap in the second column and aims at the front.

The targets set in front have three different distances, at 150 steps, [-] steps, and [-] steps.

After the infantry phalanx was completed, following the commander's order, there was a sudden burst of gunfire.

They shot the targets on the 150th step for the first time. After shooting all three rows, the targets on the 150th step were all knocked down to the ground.

The second shot was aimed at a target [-] paces away, and after another burst of gunfire, the targets [-] paces away were all shot to the ground.

The third shot was aimed at a target [-] paces away. This time, only one target remained unknocked down, and the rest of the boards were all knocked down to the ground.

After the infantry phalanx finished shooting, they quickly resumed the phalanx formation under the command of the commander.

Wang Zhi, who was watching from the underside of the point general platform, was a bit disapproving at the beginning when all the musketeers shot down the targets 150 steps away, but when all the targets [-] steps away were shot down, he finally showed a shocked and dignified expression .

And when the target [-] paces away was knocked down, his expression became completely serious, and he was dumbfounded.

What surprised him was not only the long range and precise shooting of Qin Jun's muskets, but also the extremely short interval between each shot.

He observed carefully, and the musketeers spent a very short amount of time between each round of shooting to reload, almost between two or three breaths.After the shooting, the soldiers methodically and quickly took out a bullet from the small leather pouch on their waist, stuffed it into the back of the gun quickly and accurately, and then pulled something on the gun to complete the firing preparation. There was nothing he thought before. The necessary step to poke the ammunition into the barrel with an iron rod.

Although Wang Zhi also experienced the sharpness of the Qin army's muskets when he was fighting the Qin army that day, he was not as intuitive as today.

He originally thought that the breech-loading rifle he bought from an English businessman was already very sharp, but compared with the muskets in Qin Jun's hands today, he felt that those were not much different from fire sticks.

Not to mention anything else, but the loading speed and range are far inferior.

Not only was he secretly thinking, if he could have hundreds of sharp muskets like this, then he would be even more invincible in the sea area.

For other pirates and pirates, he definitely has the strength to sweep them away and dominate the sea.
