"Notify the personnel in the port to speed up the evacuation, and at the same time notify the port garrison personnel to carry out long-range strikes to buy some time for the evacuation." The moment the Kushan Navy fleet appeared on the horizon, Lu Su began to notify the personnel in the port to evacuate.

This emergency evacuation was not rehearsed or announced in advance, so the personnel's evacuation posture and actions are unlikely to be successful.

However, it is precisely this kind of retreat, which may involve unexpected events, that is the most realistic retreat.

This also means that all the materials inside the port, even the semi-finished steel behemoths, are genuine.

"Strategist, let's prepare to retreat." Taishi Ci glanced at Lu Su, took a deep breath, and said slowly.

"Alright, I'm leaving this place to you now. Take care." Lu Su turned to look at Taishi Ci, nodded seriously, and then turned to prepare for retreat.

"Notify the troops to coordinate personnel to help the workers leave the site as soon as possible and evacuate the port at the fastest speed." Tai Shici turned to his subordinates and passed on the order directly, then turned his gaze back to the sea.

As for the evacuation and chaos inside the port, that was not something he needed to worry about.

They used this place as bait from the beginning, already prepared to pay the corresponding price.

As long as it succeeds, it's all worth it. Besides, we stopped work in advance and waited for the enemy to appear before starting the retreat. As long as the personnel weren't too panicked, the risk wasn't high.

However, no one can guarantee absolute safety in such matters, but it is necessary to do so in order to attract the enemy's attention.

"To catch an old fox, you can't reveal any flaws. Only authenticity is the best bait." Taishi Ci recalled Zhou Yu's words and shook his head slightly.

Cecilian, that old guy, is a big fish, a big fish that could very well kill the angler.

Any caution and carelessness are necessary; negligence and carelessness will only bring more serious consequences.

"General, the personnel have been arranged. Should we launch an attack now?" As a former member of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and also one of Taishi Ci's main forces, a survivor of the annihilation of the entire army, and now the deputy commander of the legion, Zhou Gan quickly reported and requested instructions after completing his mission.

"The distance is about right. Launch a long-range attack to slow down the enemy's advance and buy more time for the port evacuation." Tai Shici looked at the rapidly evacuating port workers, then glanced at the enemy troops whose decks were now visible on the horizon, put down his binoculars, and announced the next plan.

"Understood!" Zhou Xuan nodded lightly, then went directly to the balcony railing, pulled out two flags from his waist, and used flag signals to give instructions.

With the signal to attack given, the fortified defensive structures built around the port began to operate.

"put!"

The soldiers next to the permanent crossbow had already adjusted the corresponding direction using the winch. The moment the order was given, the strongman who had been waiting for a long time triggered the large hammer that was standing in place. Then, he charged up the hammer and smashed it directly onto the latch of the permanent crossbow.

With a piercing roar, the string of the permanent crossbow continued to vibrate at a high frequency after releasing its kinetic energy.

However, the soldiers paid no attention to this and quickly prepared for the next shot. The four soldiers simultaneously rotated the winch, causing the string of the permanent crossbow to be pulled back until it reached the locking position.

The soldiers, who were also ready to load, placed their armor-piercing spears, which could be used as long spears, onto the permanent crossbows.

The specially made armor-piercing spear is mostly made of metal, which makes it much heavier, but greatly enhances its ability to attack ships.

Theoretically, hundreds of these permanent crossbows would need to be built around the entire Qiongzhou Shipyard.

However, to avoid Cecissian and others giving up due to this situation, the construction of the permanent crossbow was not rushed and was far behind that of the shipyard.

Even so, there were only about a hundred ships around the Qiongzhou Shipyard.

Even if there are only a hundred or so of them attacking at the same time, and they can also enjoy the benefits of adaptive looping, the combat power they can unleash is no less than that of a normal vector projector.

"The intensity and density of these attacks suggest that the Han Empire still has many shortcomings in the defense of its ports." As Cecissian skillfully deflected the attacks, Kapil's eyes lit up with a smile, and his words were full of praise.

"It's already quite impressive that they've managed to do this much; they're a threat to us as well." Nangadi felt the impact of the collision and frowned slightly.

But upon reflection, these are permanent fortifications surrounding the shipyard, so it's not surprising that they possess such offensive power and resilience.

For a typical naval fleet, facing an attack of this magnitude, the only option would be to take a detour.

Fortunately, the guide this time was completely different, so the outcome of the naval battle would naturally be different.

"It's just a threat. Attacking the enemy's port defense system from the sea will naturally come at a price, but we don't care about that. That's all." Kapil shook his head slightly, completely unconcerned about the potential casualty figures.

The Kushan fleet naturally possessed long-range strike and attrition warfare capabilities, but using these methods to attack permanent fortifications placed on land would be a waste of their potential.

Moreover, due to the asymmetry between land and sea, the hit rate of permanent fortifications on land is frighteningly high compared to naval fleets.

However, the two sides have completely different defensive approaches, so Kapil is not worried about any unexpected events.

With the strength of group defense, the threat that the Permafrost Crossbow can pose is negligible. However, a long-range attack launched by the navy, as long as it hits, or even a close-range attack, can disable the Permafrost Crossbow.

“Since the other side doesn’t realize this, then we’ll precisely eliminate them and let them understand that permanent crossbows are useless against a real naval fleet!” Kapil’s eyes were filled with confidence, and his words revealed his extraordinary talent.

No matter what materials the permanent crossbows were made of, they could not stop their advance.

If we can even lift up huge islands, why would we be afraid of some permanent fortifications?
"Understood. I'll notify the fleet to launch the attack." Nangadi glanced at Cecislian, seeing no change in his expression, nodded and went to carry out the order. (End of Chapter)
