One could feel the high fighting spirit in the soldiers' eyes.
The troops are ready for battle and are prepared to go out at any time.
It can be seen that Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Wu Yong and other counselors are also among them. They are also needed to make plans for the army. It is reasonable to formulate war strategies and go to the expedition with the army.
"Where is Zhou Yu!!"
Yi Tianxing stepped onto the command platform and spoke.
"I will be here!!"
Zhou Yu, dressed in military uniform, stepped forward and spoke.
"How is the Blue Army preparing?"
Yi Tianxing asked.
"Reporting to your majesty, the Blue Legion has been reorganized, and 500,000 soldiers have returned. Moreover, all soldiers are proficient in water and are very good at naval warfare. They are ready to go to the sea for Dayi at any time to resist foreign enemies."
Zhou Yu said without hesitation. His expression was very confident. The Blue Legion's 500,000 troops were fully staffed. After all, in the military soul battle world, there were not many other things, but a large number of elite soldiers. Not only were there tens of millions of troops at the beginning, but in these years, there was an endless stream of people who were eager to join the army. The number of soldiers in the military soul battle world has skyrocketed again. The source of soldiers can be said to be extremely abundant.
The number of soldiers in the Military Soul War Realm has always remained at an astonishing number of no less than 70 million.
If it weren't for the Great Yi Dynasty, just supporting this huge group of warriors would be enough to bankrupt the dynasty. They couldn't even afford to support them, let alone the resources for cultivation. That's a huge amount. If you tell others, it's an astronomical figure.
"Very good, how is the Blue Army's Sky Boat prepared?"
Yi Tianxing asked again.
"Each blue sky boat can carry 10,000 soldiers. Now, the Blue Army already has 50 blue sky boats. Enough to equip the army. It can go out at any time." Zhou Yu couldn't help but get excited when he talked about the blue sky boat. Such a sky boat was really too powerful. Before this, he had never thought that there was such a powerful foundation in the Great Yi Dynasty.
When paired with top fighters, it can definitely unleash several times the combat power.
Fifty blue sky boats, these are the sky boats equipped with the Blue Army. No matter how many there are, it is useless. The maximum capacity of a sky boat is 20,000 soldiers. Now it can only carry 10,000, which is already quite spacious. At the same time, it ensures that the strongest combat power is not affected.
"Okay, the Blue Legion will go first, and when we reach land, we will bring in the other armies. However, among the seven colored legions, there is only the Blue Legion, and it is still not strong enough to conquer the sea. Today I want to form a new legion."
"Where is Gan Ning?"
Yi Tianxing did not choose to go on the expedition immediately, but prepared to appoint a new legion.
"I will be here in the end."
Gan Ning stepped out from among the generals.
"Gan Ning is an outstanding naval warrior. Today, he is appointed as the commander of the Red Army. He is responsible for forming the Red Army, with 500,000 soldiers and equipped with Red Sky Boats. I hope that we can form a fighting force in the shortest possible time."
Yi Tianxing looked at Gan Ning and had no doubt about Gan Ning's talent. In history, he was a famous naval general with strong ability in naval warfare.
"I will obey your command and die for your majesty."
Gan Ning didn't say much and directly expressed his loyalty.
When it comes to naval warfare, he asked himself, his ability is not much inferior to Zhou Yu. Now that he is in charge of a legion, he must make the Red Legion the best legion in the Dayi Dynasty and one of the most powerful arms.
Although the other legions were somewhat disappointed that they could not follow the expedition directly, they did not say anything. Once a base was conquered, they would be able to teleport there immediately. To truly conquer the land, they would need the cooperation of the various legions. There would definitely be plenty of opportunities to show their abilities. There was no need to rush.
"Blue Legion, listen up, please board the Sky Boat and march out!!"
Brush, brush, brush!!
All I saw were sky boats flashing with blue light appearing in the void. These sky boats were only the size of adults at first, but in just a moment, they grew to huge size that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, and the decks seemed extremely empty.
Fifty ships, not one more, not one less.
The army boarded the Sky Boat in an orderly manner. Each Sky Boat had 10,000 people. After getting on the deck, all the soldiers appeared in various areas skillfully, with swords and guns unsheathed and bows and arrows strung. A murderous aura naturally revealed itself. One could feel the sharpness of it.
In the blink of an eye, 500,000 soldiers had all entered Tianzhou.
"Your Majesty, please enter the Sky Boat."
Zhou Yu invited Yi Tianxing.
Then, the group boarded the flagship where Zhou Yu was.
"It is indeed a heavenly ship, a truly supreme immortal ship. It is very different from the giant whale warship I have seen before."
Jia Xu stood on the deck and sighed to himself.
The deck under your feet looks like a layer of blue water, yet it is always strong and ethereal like clouds. It is refreshing to see.
Soon, Tianzhou took to the sky.
The rainbow bridge appeared, teleporting the blue army directly to the coast.
"What a magnificent sea. It is so vast and boundless."
Zhuge Liang exclaimed.
The magnificence of the sea is rare in the world. No matter who you are, you will feel insignificant when you see it for the first time. At the same time, the sea is the easiest place to get lost. Once you get lost, you may never be able to leave the sea and never find your way back. This is just the most insignificant point of the sea.
Therefore, we need a compass and a nautical chart.
Now, with the vast sea map in hand, it is the greatest reliance for setting foot on the sea.
Take out the nautical chart.
It can be seen that this sea chart is a miniature of the vast ocean that has been shrunk countless times. A large area is in the fog, and islands and land can be seen one by one. Among them, the land where Yizhou is located is extremely clear in the sea chart.
On the nautical chart, there is an island that is clearly marked.
That island was named Tianying Island in the sea chart. It was the island land where the Tianying Dynasty was located. With the coordinate mark given by Gongsun Da Niang, it was integrated into the sea chart to clearly form the fastest route.
It can be seen that the distance between Tianying Island and Yizhou is not too far. However, there are three islands that are almost the same size. There is also a restricted area in the sea along the way. It cannot be approached easily.
"According to the sea chart, if we want to go to Tianying Island, we must pass through these three islands. Although these three islands are not as big as our Yizhou, they are about a quarter of the size. But the specific situation is still unknown. Whether it is suitable for survival, whether there are powerful forces on it, these are all unknown. Anything is possible."
Zhuge Liang opened the sea chart, waved his feather fan, pointed at the sea chart, and said: "Now we have two choices. One is to go directly to Tianying Island and ignore the islands and land along the way for the time being. Put them aside for now. Wait for later. The second option is to capture these three islands first, occupy the land resources along the way, and move step by step to completely turn this area into the territory and territorial waters of Dayi. In this way, we can make steady progress. It will be connected to Yizhou and will not become an enclave.
”
One is to ignore everything and go straight to Eagle Island, the other is to win by playing it safe.
How to choose is a question.
"Xu believes that as Great Yi embarks on the path of formal expansion, it must move forward steadily step by step. Wherever there is sea, there must be Great Yi warships patrolling, and wherever there is land, there will be dragon flags of Great Yi. In this way, the teleportation array can be better for teleportation, and the interval distance is at a controllable stage. Whether advancing or retreating, we can be invincible."
Jia Xu said with a smile.
Dayi now has a good hand. How to continue playing the cards and successfully reach the top? The key is to be stable, and there is nothing wrong with stability.
"Well, then we will move forward steadily. As long as there is land above the sea, even if it is a small island that is not suitable for a large number of people to survive, we still need to build a teleportation array and construct a perfect teleportation system."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
Although they wanted to reach Tianying Island as soon as possible, there is a saying that one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry, especially in the matter of war. The more they cannot be impatient, the more trouble will easily occur. Without a stable foundation built along the way, even if they reach Tianying Island, they are just rootless duckweed. This expedition is to go to Tianying Island, and also for external expansion.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Zhuge Liang and others said with a smile.
This decision is obviously in line with their plan.
The general trend is now in Dayi. It is the most appropriate and most solid way to gradually encroach on foreign countries and bring them under Dayi's control. This is the way to govern the country.
Tianzhou was traveling very fast, flying over the sea, following the nautical chart and moving forward. The sea beasts in the surrounding waters had been cleared out and suppressed. A large number of sea beasts had been killed, making their number here very scarce. Even if there were any, most of them were hiding in the sea. Some sea beasts looked up at the void from the bottom of the sea, and when they saw the figure of Tianzhou breaking through the air, they still did not dare to move easily.
Sea beasts have stronger senses than humans, and can sense the pressure from the Sky Boat. They sense a hint of danger and will not offend easily.
After leaving Yizhou and sailing forward for nearly a thousand miles, a lookout came to report.
"There is land ahead, a small island. It is about 300 miles in radius. There are no mountains or forests, only large tracts of rocks. It should be a large reef in the sea."
That land, although it is called land, is just a small island.
In the past life, a 300-li island would definitely be considered a large island, but in the eternal world, it was really a small island that was not even recorded on the sea chart. There was no vegetation, and the rocks were everywhere, which seemed unsuitable for the growth and reproduction of plants. In the sea, it was just an isolated island.
As they got closer, everyone could see the small island. It was indeed very desolate, with only some sea beasts resting there, basking in the sun, etc. There was feces and the remains of sea beasts' corpses. There had been a fierce fight.
