The Tao Te Ching in the old world said: A soldier is an unknown weapon. Where a teacher is located, thorns will arise. After a large army, there will be a bad year.

During the protracted war with goblins, more than 100,000 local residents of Wick Reef quickly realized the continued impact of the war on their lives. As fisheries and seaweed farms, one of the important food sources, were shut down one after another, daily food quotas had to be reduced to about half of the original number.

Although the mage tower of Wick Reef provides the irrigation water source required for agricultural production, crops still have their own growth patterns. You can't count on the wheat sown in the morning, and you can harvest and eat it at sunset! As the time of the tug-of-war continues to delay, the damage caused to Wick Reef by long-term stalemate and small-scale and high-intensity battles is much more terrifying than a vigorous and rapid decisive battle, Luo Zhengdao had to start considering giving up his persistence strategy and instead adopt a more radical and risky combat method.

At this time, he stopped in the armored commander tower of the Black Gold ship, and felt the helplessness of being in the world. He was dressed in a colorful manner in accordance with the noble etiquette. Luo Zhengdao held the hilt of the sword tightly with his fingers and said in a deep voice:

"Come on! Let's concentrate our efforts to break the goblin fleet. Vina, send a signal and order all fighters to take off. Today is the time for a decisive battle."

He was not a model that Luo Zhengdao loved. He finally made up his mind in this battle. He would not do it purely for a gamble on luck. Although it was a bit more forced, he still did not doubt that his ultimate goal of becoming a winner could be achieved smoothly.

When weapons and equipment have a generation difference, the technologically advanced side will have a crushing and brutal blow to the laggards. This gap in equipment technology is reflected in the battlefield, and is often achieved by the overwhelming huge victory of the advanced side as a benchmark.

Luo Zhengdao has absolute confidence in conventional military strength. His two ironclad ships are good enough for goblins to drink a pot of food. However, the information shows that Ban Cheng, who is unsuccessful, gave Zheti Baishan a magical weapon. This news made Luo Zhengdao feel a little uneasy. Will Ban intervene again in the middle? This is an off-field factor that is difficult to quantify and consider!

The days of being sieged for a long time will become more and more sad. This psychological expectation will sooner or later make the pirates depressed. I feel that the goblin fleet is gradually showing signs of fatigue in the cruel battle. Luo Zhengdao, who holds the winning card in his hand, finally couldn't help but prepare to show off with his opponents completely and glar. After all, no one can expect a semi-professional army to have extremely loyalty and self-sacrifice. Before the birth of modern nationalism, the army was a beast raised with victory and money. No matter what kind of nutrients it lost, it could turn around and fight back on its master.

After carefully calculating the gains and losses of staying firm and taking the initiative, Luo Zhengdao decisively chose the latter. He was more willing to take his destiny into his own hands rather than relying on unattainable unexpected factors.

“Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo…”

Hearing the low whistling sounds that kept passing by his head, the goblin soldiers were already very familiar with these extremely thin wooden aircraft, which had thrown bombs and incendiary bombs on their heads during the past period.

Seeing this, a goblin captain jumped up in anger and cursed:

"These damn wooden birds, launch rockets immediately to kill them."

Seaplanes, which have relatively simple mechanical structures and driving principles, can see the tricks at a glance. After learning that Luo Zhengdao had developed the aircraft, the Goblin Military Department immediately sent multiple spies to collect intelligence. The final research conclusion was that the seaplanes did have certain tactical uses, but their development prospects were limited. After archived the information of the pirate fighter jets, the Goblin Military Department turned around and continued to develop its own ancestral goblin airship. In their opinion, researching the airship project is much more promising than tinkering with the aircraft, and the technical content is even less comparable.

The second empire of Goblins will come to this somewhat surprising analysis conclusion because Luo Zhengdao hid the aircraft carrier Dawn. Without the carrier, the maximum endurance is only half an hour and the ammunition capacity exceeds 300 pounds. How great is the future of the seaplane with a watercraft with a load of more than 300 pounds? It is really impossible to blame the Goblins for being too rustic.

"Prepare to drop bombs...release!"

The eight seaplanes that whistled in the roaring seaplane were divided into four groups, and they dropped ammunition at the artificial island dock in the two-plane formation mode. After feeling the fuselage suddenly lightened, the pilots immediately turned around and returned tactfully, shortening the time window exposed to the enemy's air firepower as much as possible. This is an important lesson taught by the war. Those who cannot quickly adapt to the battlefield environment are already dead.

"boom--"

"Ahhhh! It's burning!"

The foundation for building an artificial island is composed of sea driftwood and wood. The earth and rocks covered on the top are only addends for ballast and fire prevention. At this moment, the bombshell dropped by the pirate fighter brutally opened the earth and rock layer, and the large number of incendiary bombs dropped ignited the exposed wooden support part below. Seeing this, the left-behind goblins greeted quickly and used manual water pumps to pump water from the sea to extinguish the fire. They were already quite proficient in doing this job. There is no way! Every time a seaplane bombs, the goblin soldiers have to play a guest role as a firefighter. If they practice more often, they will not be able to be proficient.

The technology tree is not so easy to climb. The chemical products that Luo Zhengdao expected have been in the associative stage. Two mage consultants used the idea he provided to initially refine crude oil. The test results showed that four products were obtained.

Naphtha, a flammable liquid with extremely strong volatile properties, if not stored in a sealed container, a pound of liquid can be volatile in less than half an hour. It is extremely flammable and explosive in both liquid and gaseous states, and is a first-class dangerous product. Kerosene, a flammable liquid with relatively stable properties, is good for lighting lamps in daily life, and can save some of the edible oil. Heavy oil, a viscous liquid that can flow slowly, but the smoke emits more than flames when burning. Asphalt, the remaining semi-solid residue after refining, is a material with a wide range of uses, whether in shipbuilding, construction, or even medicine.

The incendiary bomb dropped by the seaplane this time was a mixture of naphtha and asphalt blended at 2.5:7.5, and at the front of the ceramic bomb in the shape of a mortar shell, there is a universal fuse with a fire cap.

This new incendiary bomb replaces the alchemy alloy incendiary bomb with the same effect. In addition to its poor stability and is not suitable for long-term storage, it is definitely an ideal criminal tool for arson.

This large bombing was just the beginning. The pirates were abnormal today. Not only did they stop when they saw the good news, but they instead stepped up their air raids. A large group of pirate fighters came overwhelmed like locusts, bombing the artificial island one after another. It is hard to say that the huge smoke columns rising from this artificial floating island can be clearly seen even the inland settlements far away on Wick Reef. This is a signal that a full-scale attack is about to be launched.

"The pirate is here!"

Hearing the lookout hand's shout, Modo Hei Shui, who was on the way to blockade the port area, clenched his fists and shouted loudly:

"Prepare for the fight!"

Before the bombing was over, the pirate warships arranged in three columns rushed from the depths of the harbor of Wick Reef. At the front, the ironclad ship Black Gold was the ironclad ship, followed by another new flagship Gold from Luo Zhengdao. These two warships rushed straight to the blockade line arranged by the Goblin Fleet in a vanguard manner, and were in a stance to swallow the enemy in one fell swoop.

Luo Zhengdao, who prepared his homework in advance, did not rush all the way, but reminded Brando Feiyan:

"Don't get too close, strike the goblins with long-range artillery fire."

Hearing the sound, the fleet commander didn't say anything. He looked like that, he was very dissatisfied with Luo Zhengdao's interference in his battlefield command and shouted loudly:

"Prepare for shelling!"

“Bangbangbangbang…”

I have long seen the invulnerable iron turtle skills of the pirate Iron Armored Ship. At this time, the goblin warship fighting was almost rushing towards the two iron armored ships with the will of decisive assault. Perhaps in their opinion, it was the only hope for jumping the hand-to-hand combat. Luo Zhengdao was more willing to maintain his advantage. He kept greeting his subordinates and did not recklessly entangle with the goblins.

The goblin fleet that was in a state of madness on the opposite side was completely crazy, and the shooting speed of the ball cannon was crazy. The goblin soldiers tried their best to even use their energy to feed themselves, but the hardware conditions could not be overcome. They insisted on loading stone pine powder into the uncooled cannon chamber, but the result was only a tragedy.

Luo Zhengdao was in a leisurely manner and stayed in the dark enclosed armored commander tower of the new flagship Gold. He did not need to use the large periscope-like sighting equipment. He could also confirm how fierce the Goblin Navy's offensive was. You should know that when you stay inside the commander tower, you could clearly hear the low roar of the wrought iron armor as thick as three and a half inches outside being repeatedly hit by stone bounces. The sound gradually became a piece of digits that could not be distinguished at all, just like the noise of dense raindrops hitting the iron roof in midsummer thunderstorms.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Zhengdao said to Brando Feiyan:

"Start the focus of the attack!"

Hearing this, the commander nodded. He pulled out the plug of the communication copper tube inside the ship and issued an order to the signal department located above the command tower and said:

"I am Commander Feiyan. I ordered each ship to concentrate firepower to attack the goblin battleships. We must ensure that the enemy ships are sunk, not injuring the enemy ships. I will repeat again, concentrate firepower to attack the goblin main ships and ensure that the enemy ships are sunk."

Don't think that they can't run fast when they look at the silly, big and thick iron ships. When turning on the rocket engine to increase force, these iron lumps run a lot faster than ordinary sailing warships. Even cruise ships that are famous for their speed are not every ship that can catch up with the cheating full-speed assault of the iron ship.
