It's already the ninth day after Qingcheng took command. At dawn on this day, the territory of Haichuan was calm, and the imperial court had not yet received the news of the defeat of Shangquan Shingen, so everything was as usual. On a lookout on the border coast, several soldiers were patrolling, and at this time, the soldiers who had changed guards arrived, and a few people had nothing to do and chatted a few words.

"Ishibashi-kun, I heard that Lord Shangquan has mobilized 30,000 elites on this expedition, and he is personally in command, looking at this, this expedition is not just as simple as plundering property, right?"

"That's nature. I heard that this expedition is intended to attack the naval forces of the Qi State and prepare for the future expedition of the large army. If that's the case, with Lord Shangquan here, the naval army that wants to come to Qi should no longer exist at this time, haha. ”

The people chatting with seemed to know the Shangquan brothers, and they were even more respectful to Shangquan Shingen, and there was a sense of reverence in the tone of their voices. And this one called Shiqiao seems to recognize the talent of Kamiizumi Shingen's leading troops, and despises the naval team of Daqi very much. I really don't know what kind of expression they should have when they received the news of Kamiizum's defeat.

"The imperial court intends to encroach on the territory of the Qi State, encroach on it step by step, and even replace it when the time is ripe, even the royal family and the imperial court will pass, Shiqiao-kun, you say, is the Qi State really so attractive?"

The person who spoke didn't seem to know much about the situation of Daqi, and thought that the territory of Daqi was just about the same as Haichuan, so he asked this question. However, hearing him say this, this person named Shiqiao gave him a blank look and replied: "What do you know, the territory of Qi is several times that of Haichuan, how can it be compared?" Although our country is good, they all say that the island tribe is too dependent on the territory, and now that the number of people is increasing day by day, they are afraid that one day, Haichuan will not be able to tolerate us. Therefore, the imperial court thought about expanding its territory outward. ”

After listening to Shiqiao's explanation, this person suddenly realized, and after a moment of silence, he muttered to himself: "It turns out that the country of Qi is so big...... So how can we beat them? ”

"You don't understand this, it's best for them Han people to fight among themselves, even if we don't attack Qi State, there will be others who can't help it. What's more, although the state of Qi is strong, there is serious corruption within the imperial court, not only the ministers and generals, but the extravagance has risen, and it has begun to decline. Of course, you don't know how long you've been here, and you should have the honor to listen to the next time the general speaks. ”

Ishibashi mentioned a person, "Great General", referring to the commander of the entire army of Haichuan, the first military general, and the existence above 10,000 people in the court. He is the actual master of Haichuan's military power, and even the emperor of Haichuan is afraid of three points.

"You mean 'General Shenmu'? By the way, Ishibashi-kun, I heard that the imperial court intends to expand its territory to the outside world, because His Majesty the Emperor is increasingly jealous of General Shenmu's power, and wants to establish a new army and imperial court outside of Haichuan to counter General Shenmu, is this true or false? ”

Hearing that this person did not shy away from telling this, Ishibashi hurriedly covered his mouth and reprimanded: "You don't want to die!" This kind of thing is still said so loudly, if the general really hears it, we will all be finished. ”

Startled by Ishidashi's actions, the man didn't dare to speak anymore at the moment, nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and then Ishidashi let go of the hand covering his mouth.

After pondering for a while, Ishibashi sighed and said: "Now the power in the army is under the control of General Shenmu, and he himself is the number one master of our Haichuan, even a master like Lord Shangquan has lost several challenges, who can suppress him?" Hey, so the imperial court really intends to establish a new court and army outside Haichuan, and then train a group of masters to consolidate the power of the imperial family. Only then did he not hesitate to send troops to attack Qi and start the first step of the plan. But ah, in my opinion, it's in vain, what a character General Shenmu is, how can anyone compare with it. ”

Listening to Shiqiao's explanation, this person couldn't help but nod his head, and said, "That's right." General Shenmu is a family member, the family legend martial arts are invincible in the world, and the gods and demons are feared, so naturally no one can compare. But Shiqiao-kun, there is one thing I don't understand, we have invaded the Qi country many times, why don't we see the Qi country counterattack? Don't they dare? ”

"Hehe, that's where the genius of Lord Shangizumi lies. He disguised his soldiers as pirates, harassing the Great Qi in the form of bandits, constantly attacking their armies. As a vassal state of Daqi, they naturally want to help us send troops to suppress bandits, but they can't blame us. And Lord Shangquan strategized and won a decisive victory, and the army of Qi failed to suppress bandits several times, and finally lost his troops and lost his generals. Until now, they can only let us bully, but they dare not ......."

"Report! There are warships speeding towards our country, and their identities are unknown. ”

The two were chatting when a herald arrived, eager to report his findings. After listening to his report, Ishiqiao was stunned at first, and thought that his crow's mouth was right, and it was the naval army of Daqi that counterattacked, so he hurriedly took his men to board the patrol boat and go to sea to be on guard.

And when he gradually saw the situation of the comer, he was relieved. There are a total of five warships, all of which were built by Haichuan, and under the banner of the Kamiizumi family, this seems to be the herald of Kamiizumi Shingen, and there should be a letter to report.

Could it be Fujiwara who escaped? Or someone else, rushing ahead of Qingcheng to report the news?

"Stop! Who are you? ”

Ishibashi stopped the incoming ship in Haichuan and asked about their identities. On the one of the five warships closest to the stone bridge, one of them waved the order flag of the Shangquan family to the left and right of the stone bridge, and also replied in a loud voice in Haichuan language: "We are the subordinates of Lord Shangizumi, and we have important battle reports to bring back, so you can avoid them as soon as possible, and don't delay the delivery of the war reports!" ”

Listening to this man's Haichuan dialect is very fluent, and he can tell the story of Kamiizumi Shingen, plus they claim that there is an important battle report to be presented to the emperor, Ishibashi did not dare to stop it easily, first let the patrol ship get out of the way, and at the same time asked loudly: "Password, say the order!" ”

"What kind of orders? The victory of East Silicon Island, Lord Shangquan annihilated more than 70,000 people of the Qi army and sailors, and has occupied Linhai, Mofeng, Qinglin and other seven cities, most of the eastern border of Qi was lost, our army did not lose a single soldier, won a complete victory, and quickly reported to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"What? Lord Kamiizumi is a god! ”

Ishibashi was overjoyed when he heard this good news, and he didn't care about anything else, first guiding the five warships to dock, and then hurried to the palace to report the victory on East Silicon Island.

"What's so alarming?"

Shiqiao was running, and suddenly heard a very dignified question, subconsciously stopped, turned his head to look, couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "I don't know that the general is here, the villain is rude, please atone for the general!" ”

The man didn't seem to care about Ishibashi's reaction when he saw it, and slowly walked up to him and said, "General Ben wanted to go around the place, but it was really disappointing to see you so reckless. That's it, General Ben asked you, why are you so flustered? ”

When Ishibashi heard that this person did not hold him accountable, he was overjoyed and hurriedly replied: "General Huiyu, this is the ......"

Shiqiao told this person about the victory on East Silicon Island, and this person raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and snorted softly: "Hmph, idiot." 30,000 people have annihilated 70,000 strong Qi water divisions, and they haven't lost a single soldier, do you really want to be Shangquan is Amaterasu? What's more, with only 30,000 people, how can you occupy seven cities, this kind of nonsense can really deceive you, it is really a shame for Haichuan. The person who came must be an enemy or a friend, and he knows about my Haichuan plot, so he quickly took this general to find out. ”

"Yes, the little one, the small one will take the general there, please ...... the general"

"Boom!"

The two were still talking, and suddenly there was a "boom" on the coast not far away, as if a shocking thunder had exploded, which was very terrifying, and after the sound, the fire was in the sky, reflecting the dark night, and it was obvious that there was an explosion somewhere.

Seeing this scene, Ishibashi was so frightened that he almost fainted, because of his negligence to put the enemy in, and he didn't know where he was blown up, and if the person in front of him was investigated, his own life would not be enough to cut down.

"Where is this explosion...... It's a naval warship! Hmph, there's a fraud. ”

"General, general, this ......"

"Boom!"

Shiqiao didn't know what he wanted to ask, but in order to wait for him to say it, another "boom" sound exploded the sky of Haichuan, and then three times in succession, the fire soared into the sky, which was very conspicuous. Seeing that the man did not stop there, he hurried there, and before the swift stone bridge could not, the man was gone.

"Hmph, it is really a fantasy to want to borrow the hand of Shangquan to compete with General Ben. If you look at it like this, Izumi will be defeated, and it depends on how you end up with His Majesty the Emperor. ”

This person's body movement is extremely fast, and in an instant, he has run to the base of Haichuan's naval warship, at this time, he saw what happened here, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said to himself in disbelief: "This, where is the army?" ”

Army? That's right, there is indeed an army, and it is an army with hundreds of warships, and they are lined up along the base of the naval division warships of Haichuan, and they have no intention of concealing the tension at all. Looking further inside, Haichuan's naval division warship base has exploded in many places, and at least 20 warships have been lost, which is very strange.

"Haichuan soldiers, listen! We are under the command of the Great Qi Wanli Army, the vanguard of the bandits, so there is no need to be afraid. A few months ago, Haichuan was plagued by bandits, and I kept sending letters to our Daqi court asking for assistance, and I, Daqi, in the spirit of taking care of the subject country, sent troops to suppress the bandits at the first time. It has now lasted more than four months, and finally achieved results, the day before yesterday, our army annihilated more than 30,000 bandits, and beheaded the thief Shangquan Xinyi. However, the bandits were cunning, and some remnants had escaped, and had fled to Haichuan and blended into the naval army. For Gu Cangsheng, in order to avoid the disturbance of thieves, and to clear the bandits, the general will now order all the officers and soldiers of the sailors to evacuate, and I will bombard the thief ship and annihilate all the thieves! ”

The man was still puzzled by the matter, and suddenly, a very loud shout sounded from the warship attacking Haichuan. The person who spoke was Qingcheng! And the warship attacking Haichuan is naturally the sailor of Daqi.

"Thief ship? Where are the thieves? Hmph, it's just a name, which is intended to deter my Haichuan. ”

General Haichuan walked to the observation deck, and a group of soldiers beside him hurriedly knelt down to greet him. He asked one of them and said, "What happened?" ”

"Back to the general's words, yes, that's right. Just now, five warships of our army sailed back, claiming that East Silicon Island had won a great victory, and presented a war report on the orders of Lord Izumi. Who knew that after they entered the waters of our country, they scattered in all directions and rushed towards the naval division base from five different directions, and the ship should be carrying a large number of artillery, and after hitting the warship in the naval division's base, it exploded, and more than 20 warships have been blown up. And just when we were fighting the fire with all our might, this group of Qi troops quietly broke into our waters, claiming that they were chasing pirates, and also took advantage of the situation to surround our sailor base. ”

Haichuan's naval division base is built in Nailu Harbor, surrounded by mountains on both sides, backed by the national land, facing Daqi, with hundreds of naval warships and 50,000 elite naval troops, which can be attacked and defended, and is one of the key defense lines of Haichuan.

However, at present, this base has been rushed open by the "fire dragon ship" arranged by Qingcheng, not only that, but there have also been explosions in many places, the fire continues to spread, it is difficult to suppress, and it is difficult for the ships inside to come out. In this case, Daqi also took advantage of the situation to surround Haichuan's naval base, and the situation can be described as extremely unoptimistic.

"Hmph, it seems that people have been prepared for a long time, everything is in order, and the target is my Haichuan sailor. Come to think of it, it's a bit of a daydream to let them stop now, right? It's inevitable that the emperor will learn a lesson. ”

Qingcheng saw that the artillery of each fleet had begun to prepare, and slowly raised his right arm holding the sword.

The second route army arranged by Qingcheng, which he called the "Thunder Light Fire Dragon", was entrusted by him to transfer more than 100 "Divine Arm Thunder" and 50 "Thunderbolts" by the joint efforts of Zhenhai Hou and Guhong Wang, which were respectively equipped on the corresponding warships to shell the base of the Haichuan Naval Division. With so many artillery pieces fired in a concentrated manner, let alone Haichuan's naval base, it can even hit all the way to the capital of Haichuan, and the lethality is really amazing. Therefore, in the face of such a lineup, Haichuan's soldiers were frightened one by one and fled in all directions.

Of course, this was Qingcheng's plan, he wanted to use Haichuan to kill chickens and monkeys, attack their naval bases, deter the subject countries in the east, and make them realize that they have a strong army. And at this moment, seeing that all the warships were ready, Qingcheng closed his eyes and groaned for a moment, and after taking a deep breath, his eyes opened violently, his right arm fell, and his sword pointed at Haichuan.

"The artillery battalion listens to the order! Put! ”
