Liu Yafu sighed in his heart. He knew that Xiao Jiang still did not dare to confront the Fujiao Navy, which was further strengthened by the Zhou clan's fleeing elite. At this time, he chose the soft persimmon of Black Wind Island because he did not want to be pinched by Xiao Jiang later. Ruohai and Lei Yangzong scolded him for being afraid of fighting.
Liu Yafu's elite troops were depleted, with only a hundred or so men available. Seeing Xiao Jiang's determination, he could not reverse Xiao Jiang's will!
Although the main force of soldiers and horses controlled by the remnants of the Zhou clan has withdrawn southward, and the Fujiao Army Navy can replenish a large number of elite soldiers and horses, warships of the Dragon Bird level or above that can withstand larger storms and waves need to carry a load of not less than two It weighs one million kilograms. It requires an intermediate-level water-bending array or above to be able to travel at high speeds with a full load. It also needs a protective array above the four-pillar demon-killing array to engage the enemy, but it is not that easy to build.
Chen Hai led the Black Feng Shui Division to take over Black Wind Island again. While reorganizing the prisoners of war and expanding all three battalions of the Black Feng Shui Division to 3,000 soldiers, he also reorganized the 2,000 craftsmen recruited from Luoxia Port into the supply battalion. For a while, he was working day and night to forge the Xuanyang heavy front arrow.
Chen Hai opened the map of the Fuso Sea area and marked the naval forces of the main forces in the Fuso Sea area on the map:
The Black Feng Shui Master only has two Dragon Bird-class battleships, the Black Shark and the Blood Butcher, and one Qingluan-class battleship, the Blood Dragon. To be honest, only three thousand elite naval forces are enough, but in order to secure Yang Yin and Huang Zhan didn't want Yang Yin and Huang Zhan to leave with their subordinates, so Chen Hai expanded the battalions directly commanded by the three to 3,000 in proportion, and then placed them in three large camps. Under the battalion, the marines were organized into groups.
The Zhou family has spread the news all over the world in the past few days, spreading the news that the Xiao family destroyed spiritual veins and massacred civilians, but as Zhou Bin, Feng Yichen and others had expected in advance, it was impossible for the waiting counties to take any substantive action.
"Okay, invite him in quickly!" Xiao Jiang said excitedly, asking the general sentry officer and the supreme elder of Liuyun Sect, Liao Yunkai, to be invited in.
At this time, the navy under Xiao Jiang's command accounted for almost three-quarters of the total strength of the rebel navy. If Xiao Jiang's command could be severely damaged or even annihilated, nine would be defeated before the Leiyang Sect's naval force directly participated in the battle. The situation in the county is not irreversible.
Xiao Jiang stopped his steps and said without any doubt: "Before, I was afraid that attacking Black Wind Island rashly would cause the Fujiao Army to attack us. Now Luoxia Port is in chaos, and the Zhou family is bent on escaping, so they can no longer take care of it. Black Wind Island, in this way, is the best time for us to take Black Wind Island. And the Zhou family is in a mess. Seeing how they loaded a large amount of supplies, people and horses into the ship, it is seriously overloaded, and even if they escape, they will not be able to escape quickly. We don’t even need to take action, it may capsize in the storm—after we capture Black Wind Island, we will have time to catch up with the Zhou clan’s fleeing fleet!”
Xiao Jiang was on his flagship as always, monitoring the movements of Heifeng Island and Luoxia Port. Liu Yafu and his nephew Xiao Feiyu had to fight and urge the attack on Heifeng Island all day long. Xiao Jiang was very annoyed.
Although Heifeng Island was occupied by the Xiao family for a short period of time, only one and a half months in total, in order to facilitate the support of the war in Luoxia Port, Liu Yafu still recruited civilians and used magical powers to enter the inland port from the sea gate when he was stationed on the island. A new dry dock and several workshops were built to repair battle-damaged warships.
The depth of the desert island is too small, only about ten miles in radius, and there are no mountains or peaks. Once it is swept by a thunderstorm, it will be flattened. Therefore, the island is also desolate and inhabited, except for occasionally serving as a foothold for pirates or merchants. , and no force will occupy and operate this island.
Although the detection magic weapon Liuyun Mirror can detect large breath movements within a thousand miles, if you want to clearly know every move of Luoxia Port and Black Wind Island, you still need to send people to sneak into the vicinity to conduct reconnaissance.
When Liu Yafu abandoned the island and fled, not to mention taking other materials with him, even his ship, the Blood Dragon, was abandoned on Black Wind Island. Chen Hai used the four refineries abandoned by Liu Yafu and sent by the Zhou clan to The small smelting furnace of the flame gathering array can smelt 100,000 kilograms of Xuanyang iron every day, and can cast nearly 40,000 Xuanyang heavy front arrows.
The power of the Leiyang Sect is now stronger than that of Konghai City, but its strength is limited. Once Zhou Wanqing leads the three to four hundred thousand elites of the Zhou clan to surrender to Konghai City, Konghai City will have two extremely powerful people in the Heaven Realm. The number of powerful men in the Fetus Realm and Dao Dan Realm, as well as the scale of their elite combat forces, will exceed that of the Lei Yang Sect. This is not what the Lei Yang Sect wants to see.
Through the light curtain, Xiao Jiang and Liu Yafu could see dozens of huge ships docked in the port, and a large number of young men and women were dragging their families onto the ships in a hurry.
Kukai City was still a little hesitant at this time. Several core elders did not want to directly participate in the tragic war, but they agreed to secretly provide some supplies to the Zhou family -
Chen Hai put down his pen and said: "Xiao Ruohai's momentum is overwhelming. Xiao Jiang, who was forced to withdraw from Luoxia Port after abandoning Black Wind Island, is not having an easy life. But if he really dares to come rashly, he may not be able to do so at this time. What benefits can be obtained, I think, Xiao Jiang may be hesitating at this time - but letting them drag it on like this is really not an option. You have to find a way to stimulate | stimulate | stimulate him in order to achieve divided strikes... "
Of course, although Chen Hai said that he only recruited two thousand ordinary craftsmen from Luoxia Port, the tribesmen of the Zhou family who had withdrawn from various parts of the Jiujun Island and the disciples of Shuyu Palace who followed Zhou Wanqing were quite knowledgeable. Finally, a team of six intermediate level weapon refiners from the Mingqiao realm and sixty junior level weapon refiners from the Spirit-proof realm were transferred to Chen Hai to be incorporated into the supply camp.
After the disintegration of the Nine Commanderies, the only naval force that the remnants of the Zhou clan could control was the Fujiao Army stationed at Luoxia Port and under the strict control of the Zhou clan. It was once the strongest naval force in the Nine Commanderies. Combat strength.
Of course, there are also those who are disobedient, but these disobedient people have turned into hundreds of corpses with their heads cut off, hanging in the sky above the pier.
Not to mention the huge waves that can reach hundreds of meters at a time, which will greatly consume the spiritual power of the formation master. If unfortunately encountering a black wind and thunderstorm, the entire fleet may be destroyed. What is the point of annihilating the remaining enemies
…
Xiao Jiang was originally one of the naval commanders of the Nine Commanderies, integrating his own troops, the Liuyun Sect, and pirates of all sizes. At this time, the Xiao family's rebels had more than 90 warships of Dragon Bird level or above in various places. , with a naval force of 120,000 people.
What an old fox who is greedy for life and afraid of death!
Xiao Jiang does not have to settle here, but there is no more suitable place to settle south of this island all the way to Heifeng Island. Apart from directly attacking Heifeng Island or Luoxia Island, Xiao Jiang cannot use such a large fleet. Those who dare to wander in the open sea for a long time.
Chief Sentinel Liao Yunkai walked in, bowed his hands to Xiao Jiang, Liu Yafu, and Xiao Feiyu, who was lower than him in the military but was Xiao Ruohai's third son. He took out an ancient mirror from the storage ring and shot out a ray of light in the cabin. A light curtain slowly unfolded in the center, and what the light curtain showed was exactly what was happening in Luoxia Harbor.
"What's the situation on Black Wind Island?" Xiao Jiang saw Liu Yafu and Xiao Feiyu eager to try and run up to ask for a fight. His eyes turned cold and he continued to ask Liao Yunkai.
"Second General, if you don't take action at this time, and let those eighty or ninety ships loaded with three to four hundred thousand Zhou family members and elite combat forces be dropped into Konghai City, I'm afraid there will be no way to explain to the general, right?" Liu Yafu said in a deep voice.
The Pinghai Navy under the jurisdiction of the Leiyang Sect has 200 warships of the Dragon Bird level and above, and 300,000 elite naval forces. It can be said to be the strongest combat force in the Fuso Sea area; the Tangtao Army of Kukai City has the Dragon Bird level and above. There are 180 warships and 260,000 naval troops.
Xiao Jiang could understand that Xiao Feiyu was young and energetic, unwilling to make any achievements, and eager to make meritorious deeds, but Liu Yafu's mind may not be so simple.
Zhu Mingwei didn't know what chance the Zhou family had to make a comeback at this time, but Chen Hai didn't panic, so he didn't think too much about it. The thieves were so powerful that if they really couldn't defeat them, there was no need for them to fight for the nine counties and the country. The Zhou family will fight to the death with all their loyalty!
Chen Hai expected that Xiao Jiang would not be able to come with his troops until Xiao Ruohai led the main force of the rebels to dig out the Zixiao Mountain Passage. Then he could at least forge another 400,000 Xuanyang Heavy Front Arrows on Black Wind Island. Compared with A battle in Yanzhou often consumes millions of heavy arrows. It is indeed not many, but it also adds a lot of combat power to defend the island.
"Zhou Yaonv is very considerate of Cang Yazi, whose origin is unknown. Not only did she appoint him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Feng Shui Master, but she also transferred 10,000 elite soldiers to Black Wind Island two days ago to be under his command." Liao Yunkai said in the air. The bronze mirror in the center cast a mysterious light, and the light screen changed, and the Black Wind Island appeared in perfect detail. Although the mountains around the island were not high, they were struck by thunder, which was not conducive to the passage of large numbers of soldiers and horses. In the direction of the main gate into the sea, on the low ridges on both sides connecting the main port of the inland river, simple earth retaining walls were built one after another. It can be seen that Chen Hai, the new governor of the Black Feng Shui Master of the Zhou clan, is a knowledgeable person. A general who is good at fighting, judging from his arrangement, he should be prepared to cut through the sea gate and recapture Black Wind Island!
Xiao Jiang could guess Liu Yafu's plan on behalf of the Leiyang Sect, and he would not reveal it. At this time, a subordinate hurriedly ran in and reported: "To the Governor, the Chief Sentinel is back!"
If that were the case, why would the Xiao family turn against the Zhou clan after plotting for so long
Beijin City has become a dead end, but the gorge road entering Beijin City from the north is blocked by a broken peak. A large number of horse infantry and supplies cannot pass through. Naturally, the main force of Xiao's soldiers and horses cannot go south for the time being.
Chen Hai asked Zhu Mingwei and Wei Han to go out to deal with things first, and frowned as he thought about the battle situation in front of him.
The envoy sent by the Zhou family to Kukai City came with good news at this time.
However, Xiao Jiang is such a cautious person, how can he be made to pounce out desperately like a bad wolf
From the clothes and the appearance of these young men and women, we can tell that they are the direct descendants of the Zhou clan who moved south from Izumo City to Luoxia Port two days ago. They have not experienced any troubles and have lived in luxury since childhood. -At this time, the pier was in chaos. If it weren't for the brave generals who suppressed them, a large number of civilians and children of the Zhou clan or other affiliated clans who swarmed to the pier would have probably rushed through the cordon and rushed onto the ship.
The fall of Beijin City and the Xiao family's becoming the lord of the Nine Commanderies is a certainty. However, as far as the Leiyang Sect is concerned, they may not be willing to see the Xiao family who successfully annihilated the Zhou clan and usurped the entire Nine Commanderies become powerful. Perhaps I hope that both the Xiao family and the Zhou clan will suffer, and then they will be unconditionally attached to the Leiyang Sect forever.
On the fifth day after the fall of Beijin City, Chen Hai was holding a piece of paper in the Heifeng Island City Guards Mansion and was lost in thought. Zhu Mingwei and Wei Han came over hand in hand and saluted Chen Hai: "Captain, Xuanyang is right now. The refining of the heavy front arrow is on the right track, but I see that there has been no movement in Xiao Jiang’s fleet. Could it be that there is some other plan?”
Chen Hai also thought hard about this issue.
Xiao Jiang led his troops to dock on an unnamed desert island one thousand two hundred miles away from Luoxia Island and one thousand five hundred miles away from Black Wind Island.
Zhou Wanqing is also interested in casting a heavy-bore crossbow, but the core component of the heavy-bore crossbow is the arrow box, which is equivalent to a yellow-level high-grade magic weapon. Even a Mingqiao-level craftsman would need a month to refine an arrow box. There is something to be done, but it is not the most urgent thing at the moment, so I give it up temporarily.
It is true that the Xiao family does not hope that the remnants of the Zhou family can escape smoothly, but compared to annihilating the remnants of the Zhou family, it is more important to preserve the effective strength of the Xiao family, so as to ensure a certain degree of power in the future chaos of the Three Islands. The status is not as complete as a vassal of Lei Yang Sect.
"The city of Luoxia Port is already in chaos. There are rumors everywhere that the Zhou clan abandoned the common people and the descendants of the side branches, and fled with the descendants of the direct branch and the elite fighting force. The night before, Zhou Bin personally came forward and led his troops to kill thousands of people before taking the city. The riots in the city have subsided, but today we saw the direct descendants of the Zhou clan and a large amount of supplies boarding the ship, and there was chaos inside and outside the city again. Many people were afraid that the general would seize Luoxia Port and massacre the city, so they were unable to board the ship, so they all went to the two wings. "Escape into the deep mountains and old forests," Chief Sentinel Liao Yunkai said, "Second General, should you take advantage of the chaos and attack Luoxia Port now, or simply wait for the Zhou people to escape and then take over Luoxia Port? Or should you make an early decision? !”
"At this time, attack Heifeng Island?" Liu Yafu was half-hearted. However, he had previously suggested that Xiao Jiang lead his troops to seize Heifeng Island first. However, at that time, the Zhou family was not in chaos in Luoxia Port and had not yet urgently abandoned the island. There were signs of Hong Kong's breakaway, so he suggested seizing Black Wind Island first and monitoring every move in Luoxia Port nearby. But now the Zhou family was about to flee with their entire family. They went to attack Black Wind Island at this time, not to let the Zhou family escape. Faster
At present, the Zhou family has less than forty Longque-class regular warships in Luoxia Port. Even if some large-scale merchant ships are urgently requisitioned for renovation, the number of warships is still not as high as that of Xiao Jiang's command.
"I have my own plan," Xiao Jiang glanced at Liu Yafu displeasedly and said, "We will set sail immediately to attack Black Wind Island!"
Xiao Jiang glanced at Liu Yafu and thought that at this time, the Leiyang Sect would not want the Zhou family to surrender to Konghai City...
