Chapter 715: The Battle of the Pass (Part 1)

Yang Tian did not stay at the fishing level all the time. He still needed to return to Baiyun City every night to practice his internal skills. This was related to his personal strength and could not be delayed. Anyway, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others were in charge of this fishing level, so he was very relieved.

At noon on the third day, Yang Tian and others were staying in Juying Hall, and suddenly a soldier came to report that a large number of ships rushed to the waters of the Japanese region, and there were a large number. Hundreds of ships in front were sailing side by side, with a huge board placed above the ship. It is said that Yang Tian initially estimated that the length of the board was about three or four kilometers.

This board is not made of any material, but judging from the reflection on the surface, there is definitely a layer of iron sheet on this thing. As for the thickness of the iron sheet, it is hard to say. Of course, Yang Tian was sure that this thing was definitely not made of stainless steel. After all, this thing is too large. If it is all stainless steel, the ships below would definitely not be able to withstand such weight.

Yang Tian turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and smiled faintly, "Fengxiao, it seems that your inference is indeed good. This Japanese pirate is indeed preparing."

Guo Jia did not show off his merits, just said: "Actually, this is nothing. It's just that the lord is not very familiar with some rules. A platform like this is enough to place a large number of catapults or crossbows on it, and it has excellent stability. However, such a platform also has a disadvantage, that is, it cannot move on its own on the water. Even with the ship below, the movement speed cannot be very fast."

Yang Tian nodded and didn't continue to say anything.

As the platform in the distance became closer, Yang Tian and others could finally see it clearly. The huge platform was about 30 centimeters thick. Although transport ships were densely arranged below, the draft of these transport ships was very deep. It can be seen that the weight of this platform must be very terrifying, and its sturdiness was also unquestionable.

When this platform slowly came to more than 600 meters away from the tube card, Guo Jia suggested using a stone catapult to attack immediately and test the strength of the platform.

Yang Tian listened to Guo Jia's suggestion and immediately ordered the catapult to start attacking. When countless huge rocks fell towards the platform, the platform continued to move slowly.

After a loud "crackling" sound, the huge rock fell on the platform and splashed sparks, but the platform was completely unharmed. The huge rocks falling on it fell into several pieces, scattered everywhere.

Yang Tian's brows frowned. This thing was so strong. It was really hard to deal with. Moreover, it was covered with a layer of iron. I'm afraid that the fire attack trick that Yang Tian used before would not work.

"Fengxiao, such an attack is completely ineffective! What should I do?" Yang Tian was very confused.

Guo Jia said: "Lord, don't worry. Look at the ships of these Japanese pirates are already very well drafted. Although we cannot directly attack the ships below, even the soldiers inside cannot attack. But if we continue to put the stones on the other side's platform, the ships below will eventually sink directly to the bottom of the sea because they cannot bear the weight. If they want to avoid this, they can only send people to climb onto the platform, but this will expose their people to our attack. After all, the opponent is the attacking party now. How can they attack if they do a turtle like this?"

"It is reasonable to be filial to the point of being filial! Let's wait calmly now!" Yang Tian felt a little relieved.

The attack of the catapult has never stopped, and a large number of huge rocks fell on the platform. However, the platform is too huge. At the same time, the number of catapults seems a bit insignificant compared to the platform, so it will not show any effect for a while.

The Japanese ships under the platform obviously did not intend to be in a passive state of being beaten. They did not stop immediately when they approached the fishing level. Instead, they directly leaned against the city wall. It was really difficult to move the platform, which was several kilometers long, if not.

Aren’t these guys afraid of throwing down a large number of huge rocks to sink their ships? After all, although the stone catapults in this level are limited, the number of soldiers is absolutely terrifying. I guess if each person throws a stone down, the ships under the platform will sink dozens of centimeters. But Yang Tian also knew that the commanders of the Japanese fleet were not so stupid. They must have another purpose to lean on the platform, and this purpose is likely to be to siege the city.

Sure enough, just as the platform approached the level, Yang Tian clearly saw hundreds of secret doors suddenly opened in the middle of the platform, and siege ladders quickly emerged from below. Then he saw players coming out from inside. They carried the ladders and kept hitting the huge rocks above their heads, rushing towards the level wall.

"Shoot the arrow!" Yang Tian shouted loudly, his face suddenly turned a little dark.

The Japanese thief is indeed cheap. It seems that this platform is not only to provide support for siege equipment, but also to protect soldiers. To attack cities on land, take the eighth-level archers in Baiyun City as an example. Taking the bonus of the city wall, the attack distance will be between 200 and 250 meters. However, after this platform fools it, these soldiers emerge directly from the platform more than 30 meters away from the level wall, and then directly set up a siege ladder to start siege, which greatly reduces the number of attacks within the range of the archers.

Not only that, because this platform is set up on the ship, it is four or five meters higher than the sea level, which invisibly reduces the height of the city wall, which reduces the range bonus enjoyed by the archers on the city wall, and also reduces the range suppression of the archers under the city.

Yang Tian felt that no matter how he looked at this, he could not gain any advantage. Although it was not that the Japanese fleet could capture the fishing level with such a platform, it greatly reduced the difficulty of siege, which made Yang Tian feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Fengxiao, can we break this platform?" Yang Tian asked with a dark face.

After hearing this, Guo Jia immediately smiled and said, "Lord, this platform is a good thing! Why do we destroy it?"

"How can I explain this?" Yang Tian was confused by Guo Jia for a moment.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lord, think about it! If we sink this platform, will these Japanese pirates come to attack our fishing level so enthusiastically? I'm afraid they will retreat again and come to attack the level again. Instead of doing this, we might as well keep this platform and let them continue to send people to the platform. With the help of the city wall, their casualties are absolutely much larger than ours. This is of great benefit to enhancing the strength of our Baiyun City and suppressing the alien forces in the Japanese region."

Yang Tian understood a little now, but he was still stuck in his throat for this platform. According to Guo Jia's reasoning, it would be better to keep it than to destroy the platform. However, he felt that it was completely different to being unable to destroy it. If he could destroy the platform now, but he did not destroy it due to strategic considerations, Yang Tian felt that it was nothing. But the key is that he could not destroy this thing now, which means that he just won strategically but lost tactically. This made Yang Tian a little unwilling.

"We are not considering whether this platform should be destroyed. We just say that we want to destroy it now. Do you two have a way?" Yang Tian continued to ask.

Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu, and the meaning was obviously to him. Although Guo Jia inferred from Jia Xu's calm expression that he had thought of this method, it was not without consideration. After all, Guo Jia was loyal to Yang Tian, ​​so he naturally had to consider Yang Tian in all aspects. Since Jia Xu joined the lord's camp, he had to take the other party's abilities into the other party.

Jia Xu looked unapologetically and smiled indifferently: "In fact, it is not difficult to destroy this platform. The lord only needs to send some ninth-level Jinfan naval troops to allow them to sneak into the other side's ships from the waterway below the level and sink the other side's ships."

When Yang Tian heard this, he cursed himself as if he was confused! He didn't understand such a simple truth. This platform seemed indestructible from the top, but below it, there were some ordinary ships, even transport ships. Although the Japanese fleet might have sent naval guards below, Yang Tian believed that these people were definitely not opponents of the Ninth-level Jinfan Navy.

After pulling out the thorn in his heart, Yang Tian felt much more relieved. He watched the Japanese team rush out of the platform frantically and then headed straight to the level wall. The purpose of these Japanese pirates was simple and direct, that was, to climb up the city wall and occupy the national level.

The Japanese team kept popping up from the hundreds of huge windows on the platform, including swords, shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers. Almost all types of troops except cavalry can be found here. However, after they crawled out of the window, they did not go in a mess, but each looked for their own positions and then attacked the defenders on the city wall. Some archers even retreated for a distance under the protection of the mid-heavy shield soldiers before continuing to attack the above wall. For archers, it is not a good thing to be too close, after all, it is too awkward to shoot with their heads raised.

Although the Japanese fleet used this platform, the range of archers above the level was useless, their archery skills were still very powerful. Even if they shot directly below, their hit rate was much stronger than those of the Japanese archers below. Moreover, these city guards were all dedicated to the level guards. This is a special group of troops, and their strength has been improved to a certain extent.

As the battle progressed, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell under the level wall. Even if they used the platform to shorten the level height by a large part, the level wall was too high after all, and it was no different from the high-level city walls on land. It can be said that in such a siege, the attacking party was completely at a disadvantage.
