Chapter 198: Besieged!
After the Fourth Expeditionary Army conquered the Dani Islands, the core leaders determined the next target, Mata Island.
Mata Island is one of the seven target islands planned by the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army, and it is also one of the important strategic locations, if it can successfully conquer Mata Island, it can form a rendezvous with the Third Route Army, at present, the Third Army is in a somewhat awkward position in the conquest, in the capture of Tik Island southeast of Mata Island, but it has been captured for more than a month, and has not taken Tik Island, during which it has been attacked many times, and has not achieved the expected results, and now the Third Route Expeditionary Army and Tik Island have entered a stalemate and confrontation situation, and it is difficult to break the balance in a short time, so the headquarters hopes that the Fourth Route Expedition Army can capture Mata Island as soon as possible, and then help the Third Expeditionary Army to capture Tik Island, so that it can also break the deadlock on Tik Island, which is also the Fourth Expeditionary Army in those Dani Islands, and hurriedly start a new expedition again.
The battle in the Dani Islands lasted for nearly a month, and the Fourth Route Expedition Army actually suffered a certain amount of damage, with nearly 20,000 soldiers killed and wounded before and after, and although the casualties of the ninja troops were less than those of the column, there were still some casualties, taking the seventh detachment led by Dongfang Yunyang as an example, several members of the Xiao Brigade died in the continuous battle, and nearly half of the injured team members were injured, of course, except for a few people who were seriously injured and needed to recuperate, the injuries of the other team members were not very serious, and they basically recovered quickly.
Among the major ninja units, the casualties of the Xiao Brigade are relatively small, and some detachments have as many as a dozen or even more than 20 ninjas, which is much more serious than the situation of the Xiao Brigade.
Dongfang Yunyang can only express helplessness about the casualties of the Xiao brigade, it is almost impossible to have casualties in the war, what he can do is to minimize the casualties, he has also told the team members many times, this in the process of fighting, personal life safety must be put first, as for various tasks must be done within their means, do not be too aggressive, and always remain cold.
In the course of the battle in the Dani Islands, Dongfang Yunyang and Xiao's brigade also gained a lot of military merits, so Dongfang Yunyang naturally gained a lot of prestige, plus the prestige of the rear of the Xiao organization, he finally gained more than 200,000 prestige in less than a month, which means that he has 20,000 more system honors.
In addition to the prestige gain, Dongfang Yunyang also has a good harvest, during the battle in the Dani Islands, he collected part of the body of nine enemy ninjas, four of which are elite-level ninjas, and the other five are also medium or upper-level ninjas, and he has used the secret art of reincarnation of the soil, and has turned those ninjas into reincarnators, so he now has two shadow-level and ten ninja-level reincarnations in his hands, although the number of twelve reincarnators is not very large, but the combat power can already match a small army of elite-level ninjasγ
Dongfang Yunyang chose to join the conquest army in person, in fact, to a certain extent, he also took into account the secret art of the reincarnation of the soil that he was about to obtain, and in the process of fighting on the front line, it was very beneficial for him to collect and create reincarnations.
"In this case, it doesn't seem too difficult to build a small army of reincarnates, as long as you collect a lot. β
Dongfang Yunyang secretly thought to himself, after successfully using the secret technique of Filthy Earth Reincarnation to create three reincarnated people such as Rego, he had thought about the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique to create a reincarnation legion, although it was difficult to establish a large reincarnation legion, but with the current situation on the front line of the war, it was still possible to create a small reincarnation legion of dozens of people.
Regarding the reincarnation legion, Dongfang Yunyang has also thought about it carefully, the target he collects is at least the ninja level ninjas, and the ninja of the middle and lower ninja levels is not very significant, so the reincarnation legion he envisioned can almost be a ninja army with shadow-level reincarnations sitting in charge and upper ninja-level reincarnations as the main members.
The Dani Islands were not very far from Mata Island, and the sea fleet of the Fourth Expeditionary Army marched quickly and reached the waters near Mata Island on the sixth day.
Arriving in the waters off Mata Island, the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army divided its forces and concentrated its forces to launch a strong attack directly on Tusi, a seaport town in the southwest of Mata Island.
Tusi Harbor is considered the gateway to Mata Island, and as long as this gateway can be opened, the Fourth Expeditionary Army can then drive straight into Mata Island and launch a full-scale attack on Mata Island.
The enemy forces on Mata Island were apparently aware of the intentions of the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army, and deployed a large number of troops in Tusi Harbor.
The battle began at midnight.
The Fourth Expeditionary Army turned into a number of attacking troops, like spears, straight into the harbor.
From the very beginning, the battle was fierce.
Dongfang Yunyang and the dried persimmon ghost shark led the Xiao Brigade to naturally join the battle, and they were assigned specific tasks before this.
At the beginning of the battle, Dongfang Yunyang directly channeled out the toad Wentai.
Dongfang Yunyang Psychic Toad Wentai joined the battle, naturally wanting to reduce the casualties of the Xiao Brigade as much as possible.
With the help of Toad Wentai, the task of the Xiao Brigade was relatively easy to complete, but in the process of fighting, several team members were still injured, two of them were seriously injured, and the other few were relatively lightly injured.
The battle at Tusi Harbor lasted until dusk the next day.
The Fourth Expeditionary Army was still relatively strong and broke the defenses of Tusi Harbor, and finally succeeded in opening the gateway to Mata Island.
After less than a day's rest, the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army began to attack the interior of Mata Island in two directions.
Mata Island is not a medium size among the seven target islands of the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army.
The battle of the two expeditionary forces of the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army on Mata Island was quite smooth, and it only took more than ten days to completely occupy the entire Mata Island, and the island was cleared, so that the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army could be regarded as successfully completing the sixth objective.
After the victory in the battle on Mata Island, the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army immediately found the core of the Gaoce Conference.
After some discussion, the core high-level soon determined the strategic plan, the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army will send part of the troops to support the Third Route Expeditionary Army at the request of the headquarters, to attack Tik Island, which is located in the southeast sea of Mata Island, as for the remaining troops temporarily stationed on Mata Island to rest and prepare for the final expedition target, after the Dani Islands and Mata Island before and after the battle, the Fourth Route Expeditionary Army is actually a little tired.
After the decision was made by the core leadership, the relevant orders were quickly issued.
The next day, the Fourth Expeditionary Army formed a force to support Tik Island, consisting of more than 30,000 soldiers and more than 400 ninja troops, and their main task this time was to assist the Third Expeditionary Army in conquering Tik Island.
The seventh detachment organized by the Xiao Brigade was arranged to join the support force.
Dongfang Yunyang actually didn't want the seventh detachment to join the battle of the support forces, and it was obviously more beneficial for the seventh detachment to rest and recuperate on Mata Island, but this matter also said that he could decide, when the fifth joint force decided to join the support forces, it was decided by fair lottery, and whoever was drawn would join, and his luck did not seem to be very good, and the seventh detachment was determined to join the support force after the draw.
After confirming that the seventh detachment would join the troops supporting Tik Island, Dongfang Yunyang also told everyone in the Xiao Brigade as soon as possible that except for the seriously injured members who stayed on Mata Island to recuperate, the other members would follow him to leave Mata Island and join the support force.
On the third day, the Fourth Expeditionary Army sent reinforcements to assist the Third Expeditionary Army in the conquest of Tik Island, and left Mata Island and headed for Tik Island.
There are more than 100 large and small sea vessels supporting the troops.
Dongfang Yunyang and Xiao's brigade were on a large sea ship, located on the left flank of the entire sea ship fleet.
On the sea boat, Dongfang Yunyang was still relatively leisurely, and most of his time and rewards were put on his own cultivation.
At present, although Dongfang Yunyang's cultivation in all aspects has been delayed because of the battle, he has still improved his cultivation in many aspects, such as the pupil power cultivation of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, the pupil power cultivation of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye can be said to be his key cultivation, and it is also the time he has spent the most time in the recent period, at present, the pupil power level of his kaleidoscope writing wheel eye has reached the 4.9 level recognized by the system, and it is only one step away from 5.0, as long as he can reach the 5.0 level recognized by the system, he will be able to open the fourth form of Susanenghu, and he is still very much looking forward to the fourth form of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
Mata Island is also quite far away from Tik Island, according to the estimates of the army professionals, in order to support the speed of the troops, as long as there are no accidents, the sea area of Tik Island can be reached in ** days.
Time passed rapidly with the constant voyage of the support troops' fleet of seagoing vessels, one day, two days, three days......
Before you know it, it's the fifth day.
In the early morning of the fifth day, fog suddenly appeared in the sea area where the support force sea fleet sailed.
At first, the fleet of seagoing ships did not care and continued to sail at a fast pace.
However, as the sea vessels sailed, the sea fog became thicker and thicker, and the relevant ships of more than ten meters could only see vague shadows between each other.
The support force immediately issued an order to slow down the voyage.
Dongfang Yunyang was originally cultivating in the cabin room, judging from his experience, in the near future, he is expected to improve the pupil power breakthrough of the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye to the 5.0 level recognized by the system, in the past few days on the sea ship, the fleet has hardly encountered any trouble, and he will spend almost six hours every day to cultivate the pupil power of the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye.
During the cultivation period, Dongfang Yunyang also instructed the members of the Xiao Brigade to report to him as soon as possible if there was any situation.
After receiving the order to slow down the voyage, one of the members of the Xiao Brigade quickly reported the situation to Dongfang Yunyang.
After Dongfang Yunyang learned of the situation, he immediately stopped the pupil power cultivation of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
He quickly walked out of the room and walked to the deck of the sea ship.
Walking out of the cabin, Dongfang Yunyang immediately found the thick sea fog, and his expression couldn't help but move slightly, the concentration of this sea fog reminded him of the sea of fog he encountered after leaving the five islands with the night dove, and there was a faint bad feeling from this thick fog.
The dried persimmon ghost shark took the first step out of the cabin of Dongfang Yunyang, and when he saw Dongfang Yunyang, he immediately said: "This sea fog is not simple, it is very likely to be man-made. β
When Dongfang Yunyang heard this, he immediately asked, "Why?"
The dried persimmon ghost shark said: "This sea fog does not disperse, and the density is uniform, it is not like a naturally formed sea fog, but more like it is made by ninjutsu." β
Dongfang Yunyang said: "The scope of this mist seems to be quite large, if you think that if you think that it can be created, it will require the assistance of many ninjas at the same time to be able to create it." β
The dried persimmon ghost shark nodded and said, "Hmm." β
Dongfang Yunyang said: "No matter what, let them be more vigilant." β
As he spoke, Dongfang Yunyang walked to the side of the ship.
Write the wheel eye, open!
The next moment, Dongfang Yunyang did not hesitate, and directly opened his kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, only to see that his black eyes immediately turned blood red, and at the same time, three black magatayu like knives emerged, which was his kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
Dongfang Yunyang at this moment to open the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is also very simple, the current sea fog concentration is very large, the ordinary state of the eyes can only see barely see a range of tens of meters, the distance is almost unclear, at most can only see a vague shadow, but after opening the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, the situation is different, the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye can ignore the sea fog, and the eyesight can reach a range of miles, now this sea fog seems to be a little weird, he just wants to see the nearby situation through the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
Opening the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, Dongfang Yunyang immediately looked at the sea area near the surrounding sea ships, at this moment, the sea ship fleet supporting the troops has been limited to the chaotic situation, the original neat and orderly fleet has many sea ships have deviated, and the formation of the fleet has also been affected a lot.
Dongfang Yunyang didn't care too much, after all, the sea fog was too thick, and it would have a lot of impact on the navigation of the sea ships, and then he looked in a farther direction.
"Uh...... Is it an enemy sea ship?"
After Dongfang Yunyang looked into the distance, his face quickly showed a touch of surprise, because he found a lot of ships in the sea area in front of the sea ship unit supporting the troops, and the number of ships was quite a lot, there were more than a hundred of them, including some large sea ships, and those ships were walking in the same direction as the sea ships supporting the troops.
"Left and right, too!"
Dongfang Yunyang soon found that the sea flotilla on the left and the sea on the right also appeared in the sea area of the support force, although the number of those sea ship fleets was not as good as the sea ship fleet in the front sea area, but there were also a lot of them, according to his kaleidoscope writing wheel eye observation, those sea ships on the left and right sides also had dozens of sea ships, and they were all pressed towards the sea ship fleet of the support force, so the sea spring fleet supporting the force was almost surrounded.
