Chapter 187 The Sound Of Guns And Cannons In Shengdong Continent, And The Talents Of Electrical Comp
The Holy Kingdom of St. Antines.
The eastern city of Teresina.
This time, the Kingdom of Chirjaron, facing the brutal oppression of the Theocracy of Saint Antines, not only did not choose to beg for mercy and retreat, but directly threw the declaration of war on the faces of the high-level officials of the Holy See.
Not only were the high-level officials of the Theocracy stunned, but at the same time, when the city lord of Teresina received the news, he couldn't help pinching himself.
"How dare? How dare they?!"
"The king of the Qierjialong Kingdom, has he forgotten the horror of the army of the God Religion Kingdom? How dare he take the initiative to declare war on us?!"
The city lord couldn't help being shocked.
You must know that they are quite aware of the strength of the Qierjialong Kingdom, otherwise they would not have dared to claim that the other party is their own vassal state so grandly these years.
Adding up the entire kingdom, the number of troops that can truly be called an army is less than 150,000.
No matter how much it is, it is just some slave cannon fodder whose lives are worthless.
Not to mention, the coastal defense of the Kiljalong Kingdom is very close to the Holy Kingdom. Once the navy of the Godly Nation is dispatched, the ships of the Kiljalong Kingdom "wouldn't take long at all.
It will all sink to the bottom of the sea.
At that time, the Theocratic Kingdom will directly turn the kingdom of Qierjialong into its own territory.
And just as the city lord of Teresina commanded the soldiers, preparing for the upcoming war.
A soldier ran in hastily from the outside.
"Master City Master! The Kingdom of Qierjialong is attacking!"
The city lord snorted coldly: "Attack, just attack, why panic! Our city wall, which is more than ten meters high, can't they climb over it so quickly!"
"But, but they came with a lot of strange warships! There is also a sea monster that breathes black smoke and runs very fast without sails!"
The lord of City 780 finally felt the unusualness.
When he came to the top of the city defense, he saw the sea monster in the distance above the sea, which was breathing black smoke in the mouth of the soldier.
It was actually a warship made entirely of steel.
There are a total of four such warships, and there are also more than a dozen wooden sailboats with a length of more than 100 meters.
"Which side are these guys from? That flag obviously does not belong to the Kiljalong Kingdom..."
The city lord looked at the four ironclad ships sideways with a puzzled expression, and turned the side of the hull towards them, not understanding what this meant.
However, in the sound of rumbling and orderly footsteps in the distance, in the direction of the Kiljalong Kingdom in the east, the Kiljalong Kingdom's army array holding spears and round shields and wearing armor appeared mightily in front of them. before their eyes.
The leader, the general, is also an old acquaintance of the Lord Teresina.
A frontier general of the Kiljalong Kingdom.
It's just that looking around at this moment, there are a total of 30,000 troops, all Qierjialong soldiers neatly equipped with standard armor and weapons.
An ominous premonition appeared in the heart of Lord Teresina.
"Everyone on alert!!!"
"Ready for battle!!!"
The Lord of Teresina shouted, and immediately on the wall of Teresina City, there was a man of strong physique, facing the army of the Kiljalong Kingdom, there were still no cowardly soldiers, just sharpening their knives.
It is naturally impossible for the Holy Kingdom to despise the Qierjialong Kingdom if it does not have enough strength.
Even without the encouragement of the Lord Teresina before the battle, each of these soldiers was full of fighting spirit (cfdi).
Either for the faith in the heart, or for the glory of the soldiers.
However, while the city lord of Teresina was anxiously waiting for the Kiljalong Kingdom to attack the city, he did not wait for the opponent's movement for a long time.
Only then did he notice that there was no siege equipment in the phalanx of the Qierjialong army.
"What are you doing, Qierjialong..."
"Boom boom boom boom!!!"
The city lord of Teresina was still wondering, when suddenly there was a burst of violent explosions on the sea in the distance.
Before he could even figure out what was going on, the tower above his head suddenly seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The city walls vibrated, flames burst out, and the sound of explosions was even more deafening.
There are four cannons on one side of the hull of an ironclad ship, and four cannons are sixteen.
Sixteen shells landed on the city wall or in the city pool, and a few more fortunately landed among the defenders on the city wall.
The terrifying bombardment caused the defenders of Teresina City to panic, not knowing what was being attacked.
And similarly, General Qierjialong, who was riding on a war horse and was in charge of the siege this time, also changed his face in shock when he looked at the blazing Teresina city wall.
"This, is this the artillery?"
"With this kind of weapon, the city walls in the future will be of no use..."
He was still feeling emotional, but Boris, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Continent Company's escort fleet, ordered rounds of crazy shelling.
When the artillery on one side was overheated, the ship was turned directly, and the artillery on the other side bombarded.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Finally, after enduring the baptism of an unknown number of shells, all the defenses on the city wall finally disappeared completely, and a gap was directly blasted on one side of the city wall.
"Siege the city!" General Qi Erjialong gave an order to an army of 30,000 heavily armed.
At this moment, the fighting spirit was already surging, and after receiving the order, one by one rushed into the city.
Only half a day after the official start of the war, the city of Teresina, a major city in the eastern part of the Theocracy of Saint Antines, quickly fell.
Looking at the flag of the Kiljaron Kingdom flying high above the city wall, Boris put down the binoculars in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
As for the side, Wiluna, the admiral of the Qierjialong Kingdom, who has a good relationship with Austin, has already opened his mouth wide at this moment, watching the city of Teresina, which was captured in just half a day, petrified on the spot.
"General Veruna, don't be surprised. We are very good allies now. I believe that our Majesty will soon sell such warships to your country."
Veruna trembled excitedly when he heard the words, and nodded repeatedly.
"With such a weapon, those arrogant guys from the Holy Kingdom of Saint Antines will definitely pay the blood price for their previous rudeness!"
When a fast horse brought the news of Teresina's great victory to the palace that night, King Zelio, who hadn't fallen asleep until late at night, was so excited that he almost didn't jump up.
Some imperial nobles who were also waiting for the news in the palace also showed excitement at this moment.
"Hahaha, what kind of goddamn god country! It's so vulnerable!"
Zelio shouted excitedly, but then he looked at Austin, who was also smiling, with fiery eyes.
"Your Excellency Austin, I wonder if you can sell some of this weapon called artillery to us?"
Austin was clearly prepared.
"Your Majesty Zelio, since the production of artillery is limited, there is no problem selling a small amount, but if there are too many, it will take a while."
"However, our Majesty sent someone a batch of weapons similar to artillery, flintlock guns!"
Hearing this, Zelio's eyes lit up immediately.
Of course, he also knew how powerful muskets were. Even he had read about the battle of the musketeers of the Prouker Empire at Townsville Hill Fortress in the newspapers brought back by Conguinal.
"how many?"
Austin smiled and glanced around.
"If I remember correctly, His Majesty's Royal Guard has 5,000 people, and it is more than enough to arm all these 5,000 people."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on the scene laughed excitedly.
"Hahaha, it is definitely a blessing from the gods to have an ally like His Majesty Prouker in the Kiljalong Kingdom! If possible, please send a letter to Your Majesty next time, Mr. Austin, and please also bring my own letter with you. "
"I want to thank him very much!"
If we say that the Qierjialong Kingdom is full of joy and encouragement.
Then the guards of the eastern city of the Holy Kingdom of Saint Antines felt that something was wrong.
The news of the fall of Teresina City has not yet reached the Holy Capital.
However, the army of the Qierjialong Kingdom has already marched straight in.
The attack on the surrounding towns and villages began...
"【War Achievement · Bombardment · Completed】"
"[Successfully defeated and captured the gate of a distant ocean country with the help of battleship artillery]"
"[Reward: Electrical Component Research Expert*1000 (reward personnel will be released successively as host admirers, absolutely loyal to the host, please rest assured to use)]
Prouker Empire, white jade noodles.
Look at Goldfinger, the point of light representing the Prouker Empire warship at the junction of the land plates between the Kingdom of Chirjaron and the Theocracy of St. Antines.
For the victory of this war, Ulysses has no doubts.
However, the reward this time made Ulysses finally feel a little pleasantly surprised.
Research experts in electrical components.
This is definitely the high-level talent that the Prouker Empire needs today!
It has been two years since the Prouker Empire entered the electrical age, and three large thermal power plants have been built.
However, in addition to electric lights, the only places where electricity is used in China are military factory equipment that use motor machine tools.
Ulysses's long-awaited telephone, telegraph, and radio, etc., are all due to the lack of electrical components, and the progress is slow.
Thinking about the joy, there was a whimpering sound from under Ulysses' desk.
The golden twin ponytails were swaying faintly under the table.
