Before dawn, everything in Linbo City was completely silent. Deep in the empty and quiet streets, countless men in black who were waiting attentively suddenly pricked up their ears and listened to the faint and distant shouts of killing in the atmosphere.

"here we go!"

Invisible blood evaporated from the distant horizon, confirming that the army was beginning to engage the enemy. A group of men in black looked at the leaders with excitement.

"Start as planned! Remember! Don't break those treasures!"

After giving a serious warning, the leading man in black skillfully carried the weapon behind his back and turned into a black shadow and rushed out.

Soon, hundreds of men in black filed out, like a big net slowly covering the dock in the distance.

At the other end of the city, another group of men in black also started taking action, quietly surrounding the prison where the criminals were held.

Ten minutes later, hundreds of dark shadows lurked in the corner of the dock. Not far away, huge warships were docked on the shore like hills, with no trace of light visible in their dark outlines.

Looking at the target that the black shadow worshiped, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the leader of the man in black.

"Those sailors on duty are probably too lazy to sleep. Go up and kill them quietly, and then drive the boat to the exit of the Xihe River as quickly as possible, where Boss Xu's fleet will meet us!"

"yes!"

After the suppressed and excited response, countless black shadows quickly flew towards the battleship.

But when they got close to a certain distance, they suddenly felt that they had broken through some kind of membrane, and the target that was so close instantly disappeared before their eyes. The huge port was empty and dead.

"Oops! It's an illusion formation, we've fallen into a trap!"

After a brief moment of sluggishness, the leading man in black reacted quickly and instinctively wanted to lead his subordinates to retreat.

However, the carefully prepared formation was quietly launched, and the white fog instantly cut off the escape route, isolating this area from the real world and completely blocking it.

Hundreds of men in black were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but the power of the law that uses space as a cage cannot be broken by brute force. They can only move around like headless flies within the scope of the formation.

Running around.

On the roof outside the port, a snow-white kitten looked at the shadow of the battleship still standing in the distance, its crystal clear cat's eyes shining with a faint divine light in the darkness.

After carefully controlling the spiritual power between heaven and earth to completely solidify the formation, Su Lingyi exhaled a long breath and turned to look at the other end of the city.

More than ten miles away, a large group of black people broke down the prison door and quickly entered the dark passage. They separated a group of people to guard the exit and controlled the prison in a well-trained manner.

But not long after, fierce shouts for death and calls for help came from the prison, and the men in black on lookout rushed in to provide support.

And when they disappeared into the dark passage, the door behind them closed silently. A mysterious and evil triangular crest slowly appeared on the door, and then a dark eye opened in the center of the triangle.

……………………

At the exit of Linbo Lake, Taotao Lake water poured down, and a fleet sailed low-key against the current. On the leading battleship, Xu Dong was looking at the distant sky.

"Boss, Hu Si's side has already started. It is estimated that the defenders will be defeated before dawn and arrive at Linbo City."

Taking out a golden pocket watch and taking a look at it, Xu Dong smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, considering the time, it's time for us to receive the spoils."

However, just when the fleet lined up in a straight line was about to enter [Linbo Lake], a series of firelights suddenly lit up uniformly in the darkness in the distance.

Boom boom boom!

The deafening sound of artillery broke the tranquility before dawn. Water columns rose into the sky from the narrow river. The dense barrage covered Xu Dong's ship. A thick barrier visible to the naked eye was instantly activated, buffering and reducing the power of the ammunition that hit it.

Most of it.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As if his body had received a series of heavy blows, Xu Dong was shaken, and there were many thumb-sized dents on the armor covering his body.

"What's going on? Where did the shelling come from?!"

"Boss! There is an ambush among us! There are more than a dozen warships on the opposite side grabbing the T!"

After a brief shock, Xu Dong suppressed his chaotic thoughts and gave instructions immediately.

"Pressure the boiler, go full speed ahead! Rush in and crush them!"

The narrow river channel did not allow them to retreat calmly. If the huge fleet turned around in a panic, if some ships collided with each other and ran aground in the river channel, then they would be equivalent to being blocked in the river channel. It would only be a matter of time before the entire army was annihilated.

Now when they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Only by rushing into the wide Linbo Lake can they have room to move around and gain a chance of survival.

At this moment, Xu Dong was extremely lucky that his flagship was taking the lead.

If it were other ships that had not been upgraded, the salvo just now would have probably been disabled!

Narrowing his eyes and looking at the cannons that began to fire randomly in the distance, Xu Dong raised a ferocious smile on his lips.

Let you landlubbers see the power of me going to Nanyang and spending all my money to upgrade!

"Boss! They sank a boat ahead and blocked the river!"

The ferocious smile froze slightly on his face, Xu Dong's eyes flashed fiercely, and he growled through gritted teeth.

"Don't be afraid, keep accelerating and use my ramming angle to crush the sunken ship! The ships behind will move along my trajectory!"

Damn, you are so vicious!

They want to block us in the river and annihilate them all!

Rumble~

Facing the rain of artillery fire, the roar of the boiler became more and more harsh. The heavy battleship gradually accelerated. The sharp bow split the waves like a giant axe, and rushed towards the sunken ship faintly emerging from the water with infinite momentum.

"All preparations for impact!"

boom!

The violent tremors caused hundreds of people on the boat to stagger, but along with a dull explosion, the several-meter-thick collision angle crushed the boat that was sinking in the river, and smoothly rushed into Linbo Lake!

A few kilometers away, 11 warships formed a horizontal line in an arc, pouring artillery fire wildly towards the mouth of the river.

But the change in the battle situation made Cen Xing on the flagship widen his eyes.

She couldn't understand why a ship could rush into Linbo Lake despite the firepower of hundreds of cannons!

According to previous deductions, these pirates should have been blocked in the river and were unable to fight back!

However, as the distance approached and the faint morning light on the horizon shone on the enemy's flagship, Cen Xing finally understood why the enemy had such a terrifying defense.

Because it was a completely black ironclad ship!

The armor that covers the entire hull is thick and tough. After being weakened by the aura barrier, the explosive shells can only smear the armor with a scorch black color. Only solid shells can blast out dents the size of washbasins.

But the problem is that the enemy's flagship is nearly 100 meters long and 20 meters wide, which is much larger than our own ship!

With such a huge body, those numb pits are not effective damage at all!

Kakakakakaka~

As the distance got closer, Cen Xing could clearly see a black hole at the enemy's bow that was shrouded in armor. The muzzle was constantly adjusting its angle, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

boom!

Tongues of fire that were several meters long spurted out, and a few seconds later, a beam of water more than ten meters high exploded around the fleet. The powerful waves even shook the surrounding ships violently.

The ship's hull was unstable and the guns could not be aimed. Looking at the rapidly approaching enemy, Cen Xing realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

In order to maximize the firepower, her fleet ambushed at the mouth of Linbo Lake and was completely stationary.

There is no problem with this method of warfare if the enemy is blocked in the river, but now the enemy rushes in with great force, and has no intention of turning at all. It is completely like he wants to cut off his fleet in the middle!

"Raise the sails! Change the formation!"

The order was quickly issued to each warship, the sails that covered the sky slowly rose, and the huge fleet began to gradually accelerate.

But during this period of time, the enemy fleet had already lined up and rushed into Linbo Lake, and the leading flagship rushed into the range where the naked eye could directly see the details.

The tall ramming horn split the water like a sharp blade, and a thick muzzle protruded from an iron knot on the bow of the ship, pointing straight at itself.

Quick! Move quickly!

Compared to the enemy's sudden rush while braving black smoke, the slow and leisurely acceleration of our own fleet is like a snail's crawl!

The discussion between Wu Anjun and the foreign old man suddenly flashed through his mind, and Cen Xing couldn't help but feel deep regret in his heart.

If you have the opportunity in the future, you must install a steam boiler on your battleship!

boom!

Another beam of dazzling fire exploded in sight. After the previous calibrated shot, this time the shell accurately fell into the range of the fleet. The water column rising into the sky caused the lightest third-tier battleship to shake left and right, and it felt like it was about to be crushed.

The waves exploded by the artillery fire.

Seeing such terrifying power, Cen Xing understood that even if the aura barrier was weakened, his wooden hull would not be able to withstand such damage, and he couldn't help but hurry up even more anxiously!

However, the sail warship needs to go through very tedious steps from stationary to top speed. Even if the slow fleet uses all its strength, it still squirms slowly and leisurely.

During this process, the enemy ship that was charging straight at it had already entered a close range, and the black hole muzzle no longer raised, but pointed straight at the target.

"Go to hell for me!"

Xu Dong in the bridge showed a ferocious smile. With a thought, the main gun on the bow of the ship released a thunderous roar. The rotating shells rushed out of the rifle bore at several times the speed of sound and disappeared into the stern of Cen Xing's ship in the blink of an eye.

boom!
