Chapter 772: The Battle for the Island (2)

Seeing Liu Yafu abandon the formation and flee, his body was like a long rainbow, and he didn't enter the dense forest more than ten miles outside the city in the blink of an eye, and the defenders whose confidence was not firm lost their will to resist in an instant, and almost all the military attachés who cultivated above the Spirit Realm, as well as the formation mage who presided over the Lingjiao Fubo Great Array, all rose into the air as soon as possible, wanting to follow the figure of Liu Yafu and others, flee westward, and go to join the main force of the sailor led by Xiao Jiang.

The array mage gave up presiding over the large array, and the defensive spirit shield collapsed in an instant, and hundreds of spirit swords and magic weapons immediately slaughtered into the camp, and the metal storm of arrows shot out by the roaring crossbow enveloped the defenders who fled west over the city wall, and harvested the lives of hundreds of people in an instant.

Their scattered and weak defenses were torn apart in an instant by the torrent of spirit swords and magic weapons, and by the metal storm composed of hundreds of Xuanyang Heavy Blade Arrows per breath, and their flesh was also torn into flesh.

"Disarm or kill!"

Although nearly 200 people had already swept over the city wall and fled into the mountains to the west, Chen Hai did not have time to disperse his forces to pursue, he flew up in the air, and twelve Xuanyang swords flew out from the wide robe sleeves like swimming dragons, and together with Sha Tianhe, Yang Yin, Huang Zhan and others, they stopped more defenders from trying to escape, and urged them to abandon their weapons and surrender, so that they could control the battlefield and control Gulang Island as quickly as possible.

After the more than 40 people who continued to try to escape were all killed by Chen Hai, Sha Tianhe's Sacrifice Divine Sword Formation, and the Blood Spirit Knife, the defenders in the camp were honest, took off the armor on their bodies, handed over the magic weapon of Xuan War, and were driven by Wei Han and others to assemble in the school field in front of the city guard's mansion, waiting for the final fate to be announced.

At the same time, Chen Hai asked Zhu Mingwei, who had ended the battle in the camp in Zhanan, to take control of the Blood Jiaobao Ship, which Liu Yafu could not take away after escaping.

In order to cover up his whereabouts and achieve the goal of raiding Gulang Island by surprise, Chen Hai had already dismantled the Black Wind, no matter what Yang Yin and Huang Zhan thought, now the Blood Jiao Treasure Ship was his trophy, and no one should think about getting their hands dirty.

The large array of the Blood Jiao Treasure Ship is stronger than the Four Pillars Demon Punishment Array, but the Blood Jiao Array has thirty-six large and small array weapons, in addition to selecting thirty-six array mages to sacrifice, in order to bring out the power of the Blood Jiao Array, at the time of business, Chen Hai asked Zhu Mingwei to immediately arrange people to transform the sails and masts of the Blood Jiao Treasure Ship, on the one hand, select six Mingjiao Realm Array mages to refine and master the Blood Jiao Treasure Ship's water resistance magic array in the fastest time, and be ready to retreat at any time.

Although the battle on Gulang Island was temporarily suspended, Chen Hai and the others had no way to cheer, and the outcome of the battle of Luoxia Port, where the elite sailors of the two sides were fighting fiercely five hundred miles away, was the key to deciding whether Chen Hai and the others stayed or withdrew.

If Feng Yichen was defeated by Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang would have enough soldiers and horses in his hands to turn around and attack Gulang Island, they would have no power to resist at all, so they could only abandon the island and flee.

Feng Yichen and Xiao Jiang are both the core generals of the Naval Division of the Nine Counties, and they know each other, Feng Yichen can defeat the strong with the weak, and it is difficult to win more with less, and the best ending is that after Feng Yichen completes the task of pestering the enemy, he leads the main force back to Luoxia Port to rest.

However, when the time comes, whether Xiao Jiang chooses to withdraw temporarily, or divide a part of his forces to monitor Luoxia Port, but he personally led an elite to recapture Gulang Island, Chen Hai is still hard to say.

However, he still had to prepare to retreat at any time in advance, and ordered their warships and captured warships to assemble in the direction of the sea gate with the Blood Jiao Treasure Ship, and ordered that the three thousand ordinary prisoners of war who were cultivated below the Spirit Restoration Realm were divided into one-third of them and imprisoned in the bottom cabin of the Blood Jiao Treasure Ship, and the remaining ordinary prisoners of war and more than 100 prisoners of war in the Spirit Restoration Realm were handed over to Yang Yin and Huang Zhan for reception.

Prisoners of war are always the most eye-catching trophies.

Yang Yin and Huang Zhan wandered around the sea all the year round, and did not produce, mainly by plundering large and small islands and forcing prisoners of war to join the group, so as to ensure that the soldiers and horses of the department grew step by step, rather than not replenishing after casualties.

Chen Hai only took one-third of the prisoners of war, Yang Yin and Huang Zhan felt that Chen Hai was really authentic, and there was no bad problem of bullying people.

Yang Yin and Huang Zhan selected the Xiao family's descendants and collateral children among the prisoners of war, and let the other prisoners of war come forward and stab each other, and execute more than 200 Xiao family disciples on the spot, and then mixed into their own people, so that they could start directly from the most basic Haikou.

Yang Yin and Huang Zhan were not afraid that anyone would escape, he asked each team of pirates to monitor each other, one of the pirates in a team was in trouble, and the whole team was killed, they all maintained their leadership over ordinary pirates through this cruel and bloody way.

When the dust settled here, Yang Yin and Huang Zhan suggested that Zhou Wanqing should not hesitate and directly lead everyone to abandon the island and retreat.

They didn't think that Feng Yichen could hit Xiao Jiang hard under such a big disadvantage, instead of waiting for Xiao Jiang to free up his hands to attack Gulang Island, they might as well directly loot Gulang Island now, and then escort Zhou Wanqing to find a place to land at will, enter Haiyang County, and join the remnants of the Zhou clan.

To be honest, they are still looking forward to Zhou Wanqing's return to the remnants of the Zhou clan and be able to turn the tide and expel the Xiao clan.

The Xiao Clan currently directly occupies nearly one-third of the territory of Jiujun Island, coupled with the forces like Liuyun Sect that openly surrendered to the Lei Yang Sect and became independent from the Nine Counties Kingdom, once they are destroyed, Jiujun Island will leave a large power vacuum, waiting for someone to fill it.

They have the skill of escorting, and the battle of Gulang Island was also fought beautifully, and when the time comes, no matter what, the Zhou clan of the royal family will also have to reward them with an island to recuperate, and they don't need to live that kind of life of licking blood on the knife all day long.

"Chen Zhenren, don't we hesitate now, and just escort the palace master to Haiyang County?" Yang Yin and Huang Zhan walked over, saw Chen Hai and Zhou Wanqing standing in the city lord's mansion and talked, arched their hands, and asked Chen Hai.

They have not yet been at the mercy of the rhythm of the fierce battle, and after asking Chen Hai's questions, they thought that Zhou Wanqing, the palace master of the Jade Palace and the fairy of the Jade Palace, was the real decision-maker, but when the battle was fought just now, Zhou Wanqing temporarily handed over the battlefield command to Chen Hai, and they really didn't need to be responsible for Chen Hai.

Even if Chen Hai was Jiang Yin's true disciple, Yang Yin and Huang Zhan thought that they would accept the canonization of the Zhou clan in the future and stay on Jiujun Island to settle down, so they naturally had to be loyal to Zhou Wanqing.

"Be ready to go, but don't go for now, take a look first. Chen Hai was thinking about other things in his heart, and he didn't realize what the problem was, so he just casually answered Yang Yin and Huang Zhan's questions.

At this time, he could feel that in the direction of Luoxia Port, the battle was raging, obviously the two sides did not know that the fighting on Gulangyu Island had stopped for the time being, but he believed that both sides had a strict scout and reconnaissance system, even if they did not send people to Luoxia Port to report the news, Feng Yichen and Xiao Jiang should soon know that Gulangdao had fallen into their hands.

************************

Feng Yichen didn't understand why Shizun chose to raid Gulang Island, but since Shizun had decided so, the only thing he could do was to do his best to entangle the main force of Xiao Jiang's subordinates and buy more time for the pirates led by Shizun.

Therefore, after all the warships sailed out of Luoxia Harbor, Feng Yichen did not care about the casualties at all, and directly led the Fujiao army to Xiaojiang's fleet to insert it.

The battle on the side of Luoxia Port started at about the same time as Gulang Island, and when Chen Hai and the others led their troops to the main city of the defenders that Liu Yafu retreated to, the main force of the Fujiao Army Naval Division also entered the array of the Xiao Clan's Naval Division.

At this time, he was on the edge of the Nine Dragons Fubo Array, and could not use the power of the large array, Feng Yichen could only rush into the enemy array and disrupt the enemy array, so that the Xiao Clan's sailors could not give full play to the advantage of being strong with many people and boats.

Moreover, Feng Yichen's eyes were extremely vicious, and at the beginning, he stared at the 20,000 weakest attached pirates in the Xiao Clan's naval division battle array, and beat the rabble composed of more than 20 ships into a scattered flight, which made Xiao Jiang's formation even more chaotic and turned a naval battle into a bad battle.

Xiao Jiang had to be forced to constantly shrink the formation and distance himself from the Fujiao Army's naval division, until Liu Yafu escaped and told him that Gulang Island did not hold until the reinforcements arrived, and at this time it had been completely lost, and Xiao Jiang was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

Liu Yafu rushed over and asked Xiao Jiang to immediately divide 20,000 elites and rush to Gulang Island to besiege and kill Zhou Wanqing, the jade fairy, and take Gulang Island back by the way, but Liu Yafu said that the enemy army was only 5,000, but where would Xiao Jiang believe him without reservation?

Zhou Wanqing only recruited three pirates and barely gathered 5,000 men, how could Gulang Island be lost so easily?

And even if Zhou Wanqing really only has 5,000 people in his hands, how can he be sure that Zhou Wanqing is not cooperating with Kuhai City?

Did Kuhai City have a dark Chen Cang, and send a small elite combat force to lurk by Zhou Wanqing's side?

Xiao Jiang is most worried about this, in his opinion, it is impossible for Zhou Wanqing to attack Gulang Island without enough certainty!

"If, according to what Liu Dudu said, there are really only 5,000 rabble in the hands of Zhou Demon Po, we should work harder, first annihilate the 40,000 sailors under Feng Yichen, and then take Luoxia Harbor, and catch the turtles in the urn of the remnants of the Zhou clan, and we are not afraid of how much storm Zhou Demon Po can really set off!" A young man stood up and said proudly.

This person is Xiao Feiyu, the son of Xiao Ruohai, and he is also the youngest Dao Fetal Realm powerhouse after Zhou Wanqing in the past thousand years in the Nine Counties Kingdom, and he is less than fifty years old at this time.

Liu Yafu fled back to ask Xiao Jiang to immediately send troops to recapture Gulang Island, wanting to make up for his mistakes, but thinking about Xiao Feiyu's words, he felt that Xiao Feiyu's suggestion was more reasonable.

After all, they are five hundred miles away from Gulang Island, and the 10,000 reinforcements they sent before saw that Liu Yafu and they were killed and defeated, and they also returned halfway to join the main force, at this time, even if they sent 30,000 elites to attack Gulang Island, Zhou Wanqing could completely withdraw in advance and let them fight in vain.

At this time, Feng Yichen's troops almost poured out of the city, which was really a rare opportunity for them to encircle and annihilate the main force of Feng Yichen's troops, and as long as they took Luoxia Port, even if Zhou Wanqing escaped again, what could they do?

However, at this moment, Xiao Jiang, Liu Yafu, and Xiao Feiyu all saw the warships of the Fu Jiao Army, and they were quickly pulling away and withdrawing towards Luoxia Harbor.

Before, in order to facilitate the rectification of the formation, but the magic circle of the main warship could play a role, he ordered the warships to shrink back, so that after the distance from the warships of the Fujiao army, they would reorganize the formation and launch a new offensive.

At this time, Xiao Jiang ordered all the battles to turn around and entangle the warships of the Fujiao Army, but after all, it was a beat slower, and the countless spirit sword magic weapons that attacked out and the spells cast by the Sacrificial Dao Fu Fu were all blocked back by the generals of the Fujiao Army, and they could only see the warships of the Fujiao Army, retreating into the protection of the Jiulong Fubo Array while fighting.

"Xiao Shuai, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Liu Yafu said in a deep voice, at this time, the warships of the Fujiao army had not yet withdrawn to the inner harbor of Luoxia Harbor, and they still had a chance to attack.

Xiao Jiang glanced at Liu Yafu and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Wanqing only brought 5,000 men and horses, and in less than two cups of tea, he took Gulang Island, which was guarded by the Great Formation of Blockade, how could all this be done by only recruiting three pirates? Before there is clear information, this battle is not easy to fight, and it needs to be considered in the long run!"

Seeing that Xiao Jiang was about to withdraw his troops, Liu Yafu was speechless, but thinking that he had just abandoned Gulang Island and the defenders and fled, he really didn't have a strong stance to persuade Xiao Jiang......
