In the past, the navy of Daze Kingdom would feel panicked at this time. If the enemy ships did not advance and were only two miles away, they would have no power to fight back, because the longest range of Dongfu Kingdom's guns was only one mile. Or they would wait for the enemy to land and use their numerical advantage to suppress them.
Qiao Lian'er's position was not safe, so she went to the artillery platform to check the cannons that had been repositioned.
Although it couldn't meet her strict requirements due to the rush to finish, it was about 70-80% satisfactory, which was enough.
Princess Lingyu also arrived at the fort and mocked the scene.
"Does the Princess Zhenguo really believe that these cannons you hastily modified can really help you win battles and thus establish another prestigious reputation for you?"
Qiao Lian'er didn't want to talk to her at all.
She straightened up and looked at the Dongfu Kingdom's fleet, which was about three miles away, exactly within the range of these cannons.
"Governor Yan, Commander Pei, so many years have passed, it's time for you two to have a good time."
Governor Yan, a veteran general in his sixties, thought about all the losses he had suffered at the hands of Dongfu Kingdom over the years. He still had the marks of being hit by Dongfu Kingdom's cannonballs. He pursed his lips, his eyes cold and stern, and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qiao Lian'er.
Having witnessed the effectiveness of these cannons firsthand, he trusted Princess Zhenguo.
All the officers and soldiers in the naval headquarters witnessed the scene, their faces filled with determination.
I don't know how many times I've suffered humiliation, or how many brothers have died. Today, I will avenge them all.
Princess Lingyu felt uneasy about the atmosphere in mid-air.
Logically, seeing a dense fleet of warships approaching should have filled the air with apprehension, but instead, a resolute force permeated the atmosphere, forming a strong sense of conviction.
She figured the navy of Daze Kingdom must have been knocked out; what did it matter whether the number of warships that came was large or small?
Soon this place will become a devastated crater. The naval headquarters, hidden in the fjord, is in a difficult position to be hit, but we should still try to get a few shells into it.
The fleet from Dongfu Kingdom crossed the three-mile warning line, and the warriors from Daze Kingdom loaded cannons into the barrels, preparing to fire.
Princess Lingyu smiled again.
The cannonballs from Dazeguo have a maximum range of one li (approximately 500 meters). They're just making a show of it; who are they trying to impress?
And they all performed so earnestly.
Pei Shijiu stood beside Qiao Lian'er, looking at the fleet that blotted out the sky and the sea, so powerful and flamboyant, with a faint smile on his face.
"Not enough have come. Otherwise, sinking them all into the sea would have eliminated future threats."
Qiao Lian'er said, "If a ship is lost, it can be rebuilt; if soldiers are killed in battle, they can be recruited again. Only by mastering the core strength can we ensure long-term prosperity."
Princess Lingyu snorted coldly. What core power? In a moment, an empty slap will land hard on Qiao Lian'er's face.
The navy of Daze Kingdom must have been fooled by Qiao Lian'er and thought that the cannons she modified were useful. In addition, Qiao Lian'er had made many achievements in Daze Kingdom, which were known to everyone. Therefore, these soldiers trusted her and were no longer as timid as before.
Princess Lingyu felt that she had come here just to see a joke.
"Ready!" Governor Yan ordered.
This was the first time the naval commanders of Dongfu Kingdom had seen the cannons of Daze Kingdom set up so quickly, and that there were many more soldiers along the coast, ready for battle.
Previously, they would try to find concealed locations to minimize casualties from high-range fire.
They were a little confused. What had gotten into the navy of Daze Kingdom? Were they going to become human walls?
The large fleet of Dongfu Kingdom entered within three miles of firing range, and the cannonballs were neatly loaded into the cannon barrels and the fuses were lit.
