Chapter 463 War with Fusang, using their artillery to attack them
"Gentlemen, take aim. If we win this battle, they won't dare to attack for a long time."
Lin Luoxi had taken this cannon from the Fusang Kingdom, and the Fusang Kingdom thought that the Chiyan Dynasty had also developed cannons similar to their own, so they became wary of the Chiyan Dynasty's army.
The ships behind dared not approach, because they didn't want to be eaten by sharks in the sea.
They watched helplessly as their companions desperately cried out for help in the sea.
Because the ship they were on could only carry a maximum of one thousand people. If it exceeded that limit, the ship would sink even without the Crimson Flame Dynasty's bombing.
When lives are at stake, everyone is afraid of death and doesn't want to give the chance to live to someone else.
The Japanese enemy soldiers who had fallen into the water were furious that their own people had not offered them any help.
With a fierce look, it glared at the Crimson Flame Dynasty and swam towards the Yuan Dynasty with all its might.
"Boom!" Seeing that those Japanese dared to swim towards them, the hot-tempered general didn't tolerate it and fired a cannonball directly.
The shells bombarded the sea, and the Japanese enemy soldiers instantly turned white, dying instantly.
Enraged to see their own men killed, the Japanese enemy troops unleashed their artillery fire on Lin Luoxi and her group.
"They've come at the perfect time," Lin Luoxi said excitedly as she saw the enemy fire their cannons.
The generals standing beside Lin Luoxi all thought she had gone mad. If that cannonball exploded on them, they would surely be blown to pieces, yet she said it was just in time. Could it be that Princess Changping intended to use them as human shields?
As the round cannonball drew closer, Lin Luoxi jogged over and, in front of all the soldiers, channeled her Tai Chi energy.
The powerful bomb was spun around in Lin Luoxi's hand like a ball several times before she finally managed to send the enemy's shell back the way it came with a single effort.
"Good!!" The soldiers on the Crimson Flame Dynasty's side shouted excitedly upon seeing Lin Luoxi's display of skill.
"Boom!" The enemy's second ship from Japan was easily destroyed by Lin Ruoxi.
The enemy forces from Fusang deployed a total of ten ships, two of which have already been destroyed, leaving six ships remaining.
The generals of the Crimson Flame Dynasty were so excited that they didn't even need Lin Luoxi to tell them to light the fire and continue bombarding the enemy ships.
When the enemy ships from Japan saw the bombs coming, they tried to sail away.
But the shells seemed to have eyes; wherever they hid, the bombs followed.
Before the bomb exploded, the soldiers of the Crimson Flame Dynasty continued to set fire to the remaining empty ships.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The sea surface on this side of the harbor was completely destroyed by the bombs. Explosions came one after another, and tuna were blown into the air, looking at Lin Luoxi with envy.
All the men sent by the enemy forces from Japan perished in this harbor; not one survived.
Looking at the tuna stained with the blood of the enemy soldiers from Japan, Lin Luoxi lost the urge to pick up the fish tofu.
The army of the Crimson Flame Dynasty cheered with joy after defeating the enemy forces of Fusang in just one day.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan quickly slipped away.
"Mother, we didn't even get a chance to show our skills?" Xie Zhili felt extremely aggrieved after watching the battle all day.
"Yes, Mother, I think those shells are so powerful. If our country had all those shells, wouldn't we be so powerful that no one would dare to invade us?"
Boys all love cold weapons. After watching the battle all day, even though they didn't get to fight themselves, they were still very excited.
"That won't do. The battlefield is ruthless. It's the soldiers who die. Too many artillery pieces will cause a lot of deaths and create carnage, which is not good."
Lin Luoxi dislikes the Japanese, but she also doesn't want the world to be filled with war and conflict.
“Mother, have you ever thought that even though you don’t like the battlefield, if our Crimson Flame Dynasty were strong, there would be no war and no one would die?” Xie Zhili suddenly blurted out.
"Yes, you're right!"
Lin Luoxi had originally planned to steal back the cannons that had been sent out under the cover of night, but after hearing Xie Zhili's words, she thought better of it and decided to leave them for them. It would be even better if they could develop their own.
The family of seven, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, left Qingcheng and headed towards Quanzhou along the coast.
While passing through a small fishing village, Lin Luoxi thought of the tuna she had been longing for, so she rented a small courtyard in the village and planned to stay there for a while.
Dinner that evening consisted of seafood bought from fishermen.
Freshly caught and cooked to order, it's incredibly delicious.
"Mom, how about we rent a boat and go out to sea tomorrow to catch and cook our own seafood? Wouldn't that be even more delicious?" Just imagining that scene made me so happy that I wrote this down to suggest it to Lin Luoxi.
"Okay, yes, my son is very thoughtful. I'll go and tell the village chief and the others."
Since Xiao Jingchen has already completed the task he assigned, let's enjoy life together with the children.
Xie Hanchuan looked at the sky outside and finally decided to go to the village chief's house to speak.
“But we still need to catch seafood tomorrow…” Village chief Wang Fugui hesitated after hearing Xie Hanchuan’s words.
He didn't like taking these wealthy people out to sea; if something really happened, their entire fortunes wouldn't be enough to cover the losses.
"Village Chief Wang, what we mean is that we plan to charter your fishing boat. During the charter period, all you need to do is help us navigate the boat..."
After waiting at home for a long time without seeing Xie Hanchuan return, Lin Luoxi took the children and found the village chief's house in the direction she remembered.
Upon hearing what Village Chief Wang said, Lin Luoxi took out a thousand taels of silver and placed it in front of the village chief.
When Wang Fugui's wife, Zhao Cuicui, saw the thousand taels of silver on the table, she gasped in shock.
She had never seen so much money in her life, a thousand taels of silver, enough for her family to live on for ten years.
"Little brother, these are some crispy fried fish that your auntie fried. Try some..." Seeing her husband hesitate, Zhao Cuicui immediately turned around and took out some crispy fried fish from her cupboard for the children to eat.
"Thank you, Auntie..." Xie Zhili saw that Lin Luoxi had agreed, and symbolically picked up a small crispy fish and put it in his mouth to taste it.
Seeing that their older brother had taken one, Xie Zhiyan, Xie Zhiheng, Xie Zhichu, and Xie Leyao also took a small crispy fish and stood obediently behind Lin Luoxi to enjoy it.
"Village Chief Wang, are you worried about unforeseen circumstances?"
"It's alright. As long as you steer the ship diligently, we won't blame you if any natural disasters occur..."
