Section 596

If you are at a disadvantage to him, you have to follow his battlefield rhythm, be led by him, and jump into the trap. You have no temper at all.

So as long as Qin Feng does not take the initiative to attack the Royal City...

Then the main force of the Sea Lion Kingdom's naval corps will be nailed to Baiyun City.

...

After Qin Feng captured Black Cloud City.

He took a short break and continued to attack other cities.

In just seven days...

Qin Feng captured dozens of cities in the Sea Lion Kingdom.

Then he spent a month to build tens of thousands of small rafts, thousands of medium-sized warships, and hundreds of large warships.

Now Qin Feng has two million soldiers and countless resources.

At this time, the Sea Lion Kingdom only has two or three cities such as Baiyun City and Royal City, barely surviving.

Qin Feng supplemented Chu Wuyang with some warships and manpower, and then led the main fleet directly to the Royal City of the Sea Lion Kingdom.

There is also a naval corps of the Sea Lion Kingdom in the Royal City.

With hundreds of destroyers, thousands of artillery firepower, hundreds of thousands of troops, and a city that is almost like a fortress.

Qin Feng learned...

In the history of the Sea Lion Kingdom, no one has ever been able to break through the Royal City from the outside, which shows how terrifying the defense of this Royal City is.

If the previous Feiyun City defense was 1, then the current Baiyun City defense is 5, and the Royal City defense is 10!

The defense of the Royal City is 10 times more difficult than Feiyun City!

Qin Feng's fleet has surrounded all the sea areas near the Royal City.

Standing on the watchtower of the warship, Qin Feng raised a monocular telescope and looked at the Royal City of the Sea Lion Kingdom shown in the telescope.

The Royal City is magnificent, with an area about ten times that of Feiyun City. The city wall is more than 3 meters high, and there are many buildings over 50 meters, and each has its own characteristics.

The Royal City is divided into the inner city and the outer city.

The inner city is where the princes and nobles live.

There is an independent judicial system and security system there.

Although the inner city is not big, there are hundreds of artillery guns.

And they can cover the outer city. If Qin Feng attacks the outer city, even if he gets in, he will have to face the firepower attack of the inner city.

Ordinary people live in the outer city, with hundreds of thousands of people.

There are hundreds of artillery guns on the walls of the outer city, and there are teams of elite soldiers, about 100,000 people.

And there are hundreds of artillery guns in the port of the outer city, which is very close to the walls of the outer city. Under the coverage of the artillery guns of the outer city, it means that if you want to seize the port of the royal city, you must not only face the artillery of the seaport but also the artillery outside the royal city, which is equivalent to facing the coverage of thousands of artillery guns.

Now there are various defense arrangements outside the seaport.

For example, iron chains, hidden mines, and various damaged ships are blocked outside the seaport to block the attackers.

Qin Feng's vision swept through these arrangements one by one, looking at the warships of the naval corps anchored not far from the seaport.

That is a fleet composed of hundreds of standard destroyers and frigates.

They form a triangle with the harbor and the city wall.

That is to say, no matter which of the three directions is attacked, it will be attacked by the other two parties at the same time.

There are hundreds of warships and more than a thousand artillery.

If you want to attack...

Qin Feng will face the firepower coverage and attack of at least 2,000 artillery. That is 2,000 artillery. No matter how bad the hit rate is, it can destroy many attacking warships in a few rounds.

And the bigger the target, the higher the hit rate.

In addition, the royal city has sufficient supplies, and there are at least three years of food and water all year round. There is enough ammunition inside, and it is said that it can continuously attack for seven days and seven nights under full firepower.

In addition, the people in the royal city can be converted into militia at any time.

They pick up guns and become soldiers.

Qin Feng observed for a while.

The royal city is worthy of being the royal city, the capital of a country.

It is worthy of being said that it has never been broken from the outside by others.

Such a defense system takes into account almost all the weaknesses of the defense and infinitely weakens the various advantages of the attacker.

Even if the gods come, I'm afraid they can't take down this impregnable city.

Qin Feng brought the main fleet this time.

There are 20,000 small rafts and 50,000 soldiers, all equipped with gunpowder barrels, muskets and other weapons.

There are 500 medium-sized warships, 250,000 soldiers, and a total of 20,000 artillery pieces.

There are 300 large warships, 600,000 soldiers, and a total of 30,000 artillery pieces.

This time, Qin Feng led a force of up to 900,000, claiming to be a million.

With the firepower of 50,000 artillery pieces.

The strength on paper is the most Qin Feng has ever brought.

However, actual combat is not based on paper strength.

Familiarity with the terrain, the morale and will of the soldiers on both sides, or a precise firepower strike, or the direction of the sea breeze, or a little bit of luck, can make the seemingly weak side become strong, or make the seemingly strong side become weak.

Probably... this is the most attractive part of naval battles.

Because it is hard to figure out and guess.

Qin Feng appears to be very strong, but his weaknesses are also obvious.

"The daily consumption of a million people is not a small amount."

"If it is only consumed in a short period of time, there is no problem. I have dozens of cities, and the Chamber of Commerce has submitted to me and has never harmed the people, so the supply of food and water is not a problem, but if it takes a long time..."

Qin Feng took a deep breath: "As time goes by, people's minds will change."

"Not only the Chamber of Commerce, workers, and farmers in the sea country will resist."

"Even the millions of soldiers under his command will feel tired of the war, and war-weariness will greatly affect morale."

Qin Feng knew that this was only part of the situation that was not favorable to him.

There is another part outside.

He has received news that the Sea Lion Kingdom has asked for help from other sea countries, promising great benefits and asking for assistance.

And this news was raised a month ago.

If the sea countries agree to the Sea Lion Kingdom's request for assistance, then...

Qin Feng knew that the situation could change at any time.

"Fortunately, my goal is not to capture the King's City now."

"But..."

"Baiyun City!"

...

Chapter 449 Tacit Understanding

Baiyun City.

The atmosphere in Baiyun City at this time was obviously a little restless.

It was more uneasy than the siege of the King's Pirates some time ago.

Because the high-level officials in Baiyun City received the news.

The main force of the King's Pirates has surrounded the King's City.

That is the royal city, the capital of a country.

The senior officials of Baiyun City held an emergency meeting to discuss the news.

But after a long discussion, there was no result.

"The Royal City is strong and has many cannons, so it is well defended."

"Since ancient times, the Royal City has never been breached from the outside. Even the King's Pirates will certainly not be able to breach the Royal City."

"But the King's Pirates are not ordinary pirates. The pirates outside sent letters to us every day a few days ago. Today they took down a certain city, and tomorrow they took down another city. Now, except for Baiyun City and the Royal City, all the cities in the Sea Lion Kingdom have been occupied by them."

"Do you believe the pirates' words?"

"What if they are deceiving us!"

"No, the pirates outside allowed us to send out a speedboat to see the situation outside. Some soldiers have already returned to report to us that it is true... The King's Pirates have almost occupied the Sea Kingdom."

"Okay, what should we do?"

"The Royal City can at least hold out for a while, let's wait and see."

"Okay, wait a little longer, don't make a decision easily."

...

One month later.

Suddenly, the pirates under Baiyun City began to cheer and celebrate.

At first...

The senior officials of Baiyun City were a little confused.

So they sent people to investigate and found out that the King's Pirates had captured the King's City.

The leader of the pirate group had already entered the inner city and captured the king.
