protect our patriarch

Chapter 289 Crisis!Angry Jiao Gang Attacks

……

"The Flood Dragon Gang?"

Chen Xiuwu's expression also changed, and his expression became extremely serious.

For a long time, the Jiaolong Gang has been the overlord of the counties along the Anjiang River, and they have monopolized the shipping trade in the entire Anjiang River Basin.Signed special agreements with the big and small families of the guards along the river.

For the trade of goods of various families, they don't care if you go by land.If you want to go by water, you can only be limited to this county.If you want to transport the goods to other counties, and if you want to take the Anjiang route, you must transport them through the Jiaolong Gang.

The reason why the Jiaolong Gang is so overbearing is also related to his backstage.It is said, it is only said that there is a royal county king behind the Jiaolong Gang.Moreover, the leader of the Jiaolong Gang is also a prestigious monk in the Purple Mansion Realm.

Overall, the strength of the Jiaolong Gang is not inferior to that of a fifth-rank Zifu family.

However, the Jiaolong Gang also has a lot of restrictions, that is, their business can only be limited to Anjiang, and must be bounded by the mouth of the East China Sea.

Arguably.

According to the agreement between the Jiaolong Gang and the various families, the Donggang Chen's fleet did not violate the contract to help the in-law alliance transport goods.After all, Chen's riverboat fleet would at most dock at Changning Guandu in Changningwei, and then be transported and sold by Qian's land chamber of commerce throughout the county.

However, the business of in-law alliances is booming, and there are many valuable bestsellers among them.The domineering Jiaolong Gang has long been greedy for this piece of fat.

Negotiations and negotiations with the alliance of in-laws several times, but they were all resisted and opposed by the alliance of in-laws.Because of this matter, the Jiaolong gang has always held a grudge, and in Anjiang, they have had frictions and collisions with Chen's river boat team several times.

It's just that both sides have scruples, and for the time being, they are only at the stage of finding fault and talking.

But this time, the river boats of the Jiaolong Gang sailed to the outskirts of Donggang, as if they were trying to enter Donggang.Naturally, it has already violated the agreement with the aristocratic families from all over the world.

After all, the location of Donggang happens to be the mouth of the East China Sea.

No wonder.

Chen Xiuwu and Chen Fanghua's expressions became so serious.

……

at the same time.

The three river boats flying the flag of the angry dragon with teeth and claws were not the transport ships of the dragon gang.Rather, it is a combat class vessel specifically designed for quick strikes, patrols, etc.

The members of the Jiaolong gang on the boat were wearing red and black outfits, and inside were tanned spirit fish skins and carefully crafted water tanks. They had water thorns or short blades hanging from their waists, and they held bows and crossbows in their hands. ranged weapons.

All of them have piercing eyes and long breaths, obviously they are elite gang members who specialize in boat and water warfare.Those with the weakest strength also have the third level of Qi Refining Realm, and generally have the cultivation base of the fourth or fifth level.

Among them, there are even elites on the sixth and seventh floors, and captains on the eighth and ninth floors.

And on each of the angry dragon warships, there is a commander at the Lingtai level guarding them.

Such a full-time fighting ship, even one of which could suppress an ordinary ninth-rank family.If three ships come out together, even the eighth-rank family will not dare to confront them.

Moreover, the angry dragon warship is still good at water warfare, and all the members of the gang are good at water.Ordinary merchant ships, how dare they be hostile to them.

At the head of the angry dragon warship, a middle-aged man was standing at the bow. The man was wearing a set of soft armor made of high-grade ferocious animal skins. His head was shaved and shiny. There is also a deep scar at the corner of his mouth, which looks ferocious and fierce.

Even the two spirit platform leaders behind him held their breaths and concentrated, not daring to take a breath.

This bald-headed and scarred man is exactly one of the famous masters in the Heaven-Human Realm of the Flood Dragon Clan—"One-eyed Flood Dragon" Zhao Wuqing.

Zhao Wuqing was originally a child of an ordinary eighth-rank family who was born in a certain county. He was quite successful in studying and practicing martial arts since he was a child.

Logically speaking, Zhao Wuqing's life should be a happy one.

It's a pity that there are unpredictable things.

For some reason, he suddenly suffered from a strange disease, and the meridians all over his body were stagnated and blocked, which made him unable to circulate profound energy to refine qi and blood, and strengthen his body.

His cultivation was declining day by day, and his inability to refine qi and blood led to the accumulation of essence, and his body kept getting fatter and bloated.From a Pianpian son, he has gradually become a fat man who is panting after walking a few steps.

The family took him everywhere to seek medical treatment but failed, and gradually gave up on him.

The distant cousin of the childhood sweetheart also gradually alienated him, and climbed up to a seventh-rank direct disciple.

In grief and despair, Zhao Wuqing ran away from home, and followed a bumpy journey until he accidentally met the leader of the Jiaolong Gang—Fanjiang Longlong Wuji.

Speaking of which, Long Wuji can be regarded as a generation of wizards who know the past and the present.

Seeing that Zhao Wuqing's "illness" should be a side effect caused by the awakening of a special blood constitution, he searched for a profound horizontal tempering body tempering technique, and personally used it to dredge his meridians and lay a foundation for him for a long time.

Soon Zhao Wuqing got rid of the "sickness", and his cultivation began to improve by leaps and bounds.At the same time, he abandoned his original name and changed his name to Zhao Wuqing, drawing a clear line from before.

From then on, Zhao Wuqing followed Long Wuji closely, and gradually grew into a mighty member of the Jiaolong Gang.Because he has always been ruthless, fierce and ruthless, and has always been Long Wuji's most loyal dog.

Therefore, even within the Flood Dragon Gang, many gang members fear him more than respect him.

……

At the intersection of the sea water and the river water, the Nujiao warship cleaves the waves against the wind and waves.

At the same time as Chen Fanghua's caravan discovered the Nujiao battleship.Zhao Wuqing and his party also discovered the fleet of Chen Fanghua and others.

"Grand Commander."

Lu Jinyi, a man with hawk-like eyes, said, "Judging from the flag and formation of that caravan, it should be the Hundred Islands caravan newly expanded by the Chen family."

"Hundred Islands caravan?" Zhao Wuqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that the Chen family's business is getting bigger and bigger. There are five large merchant ships in the caravan in the direction of Baidaowei."

"That's right, as the Chen family grows stronger and stronger, it has overwhelmed the Jiang family and the Li family, both of Donggang's ninth-rank families." Lu Jinyi said, "They have already occupied [-]% of Donggang. share of the trade, and more than [-]% of the freight within the Hundred Island Guard."

Lu Jinyi is the leader of the "Jiaolong Commercial Bank Branch" of the Jiaolong Gang resident in Changningwei, so he naturally knows everything about Changningwei, big and small.That's right, "Jiaolong Commercial Firm" is the name of the firm officially registered by the Jiaolong Gang with the government.

This is similar to those similar "organizations" on the earth, usually named after a certain company, which has always had the same effect.

"Thirty percent, Jie Jie." Zhao Wuqing grinned grimly, and said with greed in his eyes, "The Chen family in Donggang is not even a family of the seventh rank. With the names of the Changning Wei In-law Alliance and the Donghai Tantai family, the appetite is so great. Such domineering and greedy people are not afraid of bursting their stomachs. No wonder, Donggang Jiang and Li are willing to transfer the share of Donggang Port to our Jiaolong Gang."

"Lu Jinyi, send an order to intercept this caravan."

Lu Jinyi's complexion changed, and he said hastily: "Commander, I heard that the deputy commander of this caravan is Chen Xiuwu, the eldest son of the current lineage of the Chen family. This kid is the nephew of Wang Shouzhe of the Wang family of Changning."

Although Wang Shouzhe is not a cultivator in the Heavenly Human Realm, his status in Changningwei is extremely prominent. Even a few Heavenly Human Realm cultivators from other families are willing to be dispatched by him.

It is also because of him that the entire Changningwei family has become almost monolithic.

However, the reason for using "almost" is that naturally not every family will be convinced by the Wang family.There are always small families who have suffered suppression and losses due to the rise of the Wang's in-law alliance.

For example, the Jiang family and the Li family in Donggang dare not speak out on weekdays.However, once he had the opportunity, he climbed up to the large power of the Jiaolong Gang.

"Wang Shouzhe?" Zhao Wuqing curled his lips, chuckled and snorted coldly, "It was him before. When negotiating with our Flood Dragon Gang several times, he refused to give up an inch of profit, right? A mere Patriarch of the Lingtai Realm, relying on the Zifu Academy Some people think they are the overlord of one party."

"Take down this caravan first, and capture the young patriarch of the Chen Clan alive." Zhao Wuqing's one-eyed scar smirked and trembled, "Afterwards, we will talk to Wang Shouzhe about our Jiaolong Gang's entry into Donggang. Previously, our Jiaolong The strategy of the gang, and that Wang Shouzhe is too polite. He is so powerful in a mere place, and he has a bit of color, and he really thinks that our Jiaolong Gang is made of mud."

Although Lu Jinyi felt that something was wrong, he felt that the commander-in-chief seemed to underestimate Wang Shouzhe too much.However, he is more aware of Zhao Wuqing's temper. Once he disobeys his words, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Immediately, he ordered: "The commander-in-chief has ordered that the entire army of the Fulong warships attack, and the target is the Chen merchant fleet."

Semaphores waving flags.

The three angry flood battleships were dispatched in unison, in the shape of a character, like a pack of wolves, they rushed towards the five merchant ships.

……

"Did the Jiaolong gang go crazy? How dare they attack and kill my merchant ships outside Donggang?" Chen Fanghua said suddenly, "Hurry up and ask Donggang for help."

Merchant ships also have armed forces. Apart from Chen Fanghua, the Lingtai, there are more than a dozen or twenty generals or clansmen who are in the Qi Refining Realm. In addition, there are a total of six to seven hundred ordinary boatmen and sailors.

It is easy to deal with some unorganized small pirates, casual cultivators, or Tier [-] and Tier [-] beasts.But if it's against the Flood Dragon Gang's dedicated battleships, it's not enough to watch.

Following Chen Fanghua's order.

"Bang bang bang!"

Fireworks were released into the sky one after another, even in bright daylight, half the sky was still red.

at the same time.

Five huge merchant ships began to turn their sides and sailed towards Donggang port slantingly.It's just that because of the design of this type of giant sea merchant ship, they are big and round and can carry more cargo, and their steering and speed are quite clumsy.

……

"You still want to escape?" Zhao Wuqing sneered, "It's so stupid, do you think our Jiaolong Gang is vegetarian?"

"Clearly!"

At the prow of the Nu Jiao battleship, several large ship-borne bed crossbows took the lead, and the arm-thick bed crossbows roared and flew away.These bed crossbows are all made of spirit wood, and the tendons of high-level beasts are used as strings, and their power far exceeds that of the bed crossbows on earth.

They are usually engaged in large-scale battles or defending cities, which are quite effective against the beast hordes.

The power of one shot can probably pierce through all the third-order fierce beasts.Dozens of rounds were fired together, but even the fifth-order beasts did not dare to fight it.

In addition, it is quite effective in ship battles.After all, the speed of the ship is slow, and the target is huge.

One of them hit a boatman on the deck, piercing him and the deck.

"Hateful Fury Dragon Gang!"

The young and energetic Chen Xiuwu's lungs were about to explode, "Counterattack, counterattack, counterattack with a few ship-borne Shenwei cannons sent by my uncle for trial use."

Following his command.

The generals moved after hearing the news, and the thick tarpaulin was torn off on the upper side of the merchant ship's flagship, revealing several giant cannons made of refined iron.They have been fixed on the side of the ship, but the muzzle can be adjusted by the winch.

Wang Shouzhe drew blueprints for these Shenwei cannons carefully developed by the Wang family based on his imagination and the few theoretical knowledge, and then slowly explored and built them by the few low-level craftsmen that the family has been supporting, and gradually forged them. The prototype of the Shenwei Cannon.

They are powerful, but clumsy.The weight of each door is several thousand catties, and it is not easy for monks at the Lingtai Realm to move it.

The reason why Wang Shouzhe has been spending resources to point out the primary technology of "Shenwei Cannon" is that its technical threshold is very low.The main reason is that Ping'an Town is located outside the territory.Once a beast swarm occurs, it will be the first to be hit by the disaster.

He has never forgotten the hardships of the Wang family when they were struggling against the beast tide.Even if there was no civil strife, the Wang family's losses would not be small that time.

What's more, it was just a wave of beasts led by fifth-level beasts. What if it was a wave of sixth-level or even seventh-level beasts?
There is no doubt that the Shenwei Cannon is one of the weapons with the lowest research and development threshold and the most cost-effective against the beast tide.Of course, if you want to use it to fight the cultivators in the Heaven and Human Realm, that would be idiotic nonsense. They move around in the sky regardless of consumption, and they are much more flexible than fighter jets.

Like the bed crossbow, the Shenwei cannon is also very suitable for shipboard.Wang Shouzhe also has considerable expectations and ambitions for the expansion of the sea area.

Those generals who manipulate the Shenwei Cannon have already undergone initial training, although their movements are clumsy due to nervousness.But their strength lies in their great strength. Even if they are only monks in the Qi Refining Realm, their strength is not comparable to that of people on Earth.

With the winch turning, they quickly adjusted their position.Strictly follow the previous tutorial, ignite and fire.

A huge solid iron ball blasted out.

However, due to the turbulent tide, it is not as simple as on the shore.The first two Shenwei cannons hit iron balls weighing tens of kilograms, and they all hit the water, splashing huge waves.

But even so, it still frightened everyone in Jiaolong Gang.What the hell is that, it is much more powerful than the bed crossbow?
The third Shenwei cannon was lucky. The iron ball hit the deck in a parabola at a very high speed. After the deck was smashed, it bounced forward.The bodies of the two members of the Qi Refining Realm were smashed into several pieces on the way it was jumping... The iron ball dragged a series of flesh and blood and shattered pieces, smashed the stern side of the ship, and fell fell into the sea.

All of a sudden!
There was complete silence on the battleship Nu Jiao, and the faces of the gang and the leader were all pale. What the hell is that?It can smash people to pieces...

……

　(PS: This plot may be controversial, I also weighed it for a long time before deciding to write it. Because the threshold for the development and manufacture of primary guns is too low and too low... The protagonist is a modern time traveler and controls It is illogical for a faction to deliberately avoid this thing. Of course, the low threshold is only limited to the elementary level, and the scenarios that can be applied are relatively limited. The pig's feet are also incapable of climbing higher technology. What's more The world of patriarchs is not simple, and the level of civilization is actually not low~ It’s just that the direction of development is different~)
