Chapter 890: Dongying's Army (Page 1/1)

The vast sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and the vicinity of Okinawa Island, which is separated from the sea area of southern Fujian, is densely packed with warships of different sizes. The sea is hot and rough at this moment, and all the warships are connected together with iron chains, rising and falling with the waves!

On the largest warship of the Chinese army, the sun flag fluttered, and next to the sun flag, there was a huge flag with the word Xinye written on it.

That's right, this time he was ordered to lead 100,000 Dongying Naval Army, and it was the younger brother of Prince Xinye Taidao, Xinye Cao Jie, who was ready to compete with the Dongjiang Army!

There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses and nearly 400 warships, and this strength is indeed incomparable to other countries. And Xinye Cao Jie was even more confident, if it weren't for the disadvantage of the division and the delay of the trip by a storm, he would have led the army straight to Ryukyu Island.

Dressed in a white kimono, quietly standing proudly on the deck of the bow of the ship, Xinye Cao Jie is like standing out from the crowd, eye-catching. The folding fan in his hand shook gently, quite a bit of a suave feeling.

It's a pity that the cold look on his face directly overshadowed the atmosphere created by his sassy white clothes.

"When will this storm pass?" Xinye Cao Jie stared at the sea in the distance with his eyes, but he didn't look back to ask.

"My lord, this storm has calmed down a lot since the morning, and according to this situation, if there is no accident, we should be able to continue on the road tomorrow morning." A swarthy man who was less than one meter six tall bent down to reply to Xinye Cao Jie.

"Tomorrow ......"

Xinye Cao Jie seemed to be dissatisfied with such an answer, but after a while, he didn't get angry, but turned around and looked at the swarthy man coldly: "If you can't continue on the road tomorrow, you will commit suicide by cutting your stomach." ”

Throwing down the words, Xinye Cao Jie turned away, leaving the swarthy man without any chance to defend himself.

The swarthy man didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, and he bowed to the departing Xinye Cao Jie in an orderly manner.

A few nautical miles away from the location of the Dongying army, two hot air balloons were slowly drifting towards this direction. There is a huge figure on one of them, the sky is not beautiful, and the vast has been entrenched in this place for more than three days.

Since the discovery of Dongying's army and the news to Mao Wenlong, there has been a storm. To do this, he had to retreat a few nautical miles to avoid the storm at sea.

Early this morning, it was discovered that the storm was showing signs of receding, and it would be huge that they were trying to get closer to the location of the Dongying army. Unfortunately, although the storms over there are decreasing, it is not possible for hot air balloons to get close.

After several failed attempts, Haoda seemed ready to give up. At this moment, another hot air balloon appeared behind him.

In today's world, only the Dongjiang Army has a hot air balloon, and the hot air balloon that suddenly appears is naturally owned by the Dongjiang Army. There was no doubt about this, and Haoda immediately ordered to stop moving forward and wait for the hot air balloon behind him to catch up.

Before the hot air balloon approached Haoda, it sent out a flag early to inform Haoda. Seeing the flag from the hot air balloon behind him, Haoda suddenly became excited.

"Commander, it's great to be able to arrive tomorrow......" Haoda exclaimed.

Mao Wenlong did come day and night, and he didn't want to fight with the Dongying army in the southern Fujian Sea. Although the Dongjiang Army has a geographical advantage in fighting in the Daming Sea, it is also not a small risk, once the Dongying army divides troops to attack the coastal cities, it is not what Mao Wenlong thinks.

The tragic situation of the looted city of Guangzhou is still vivid, and Mao Wenlong will never allow such a thing to happen again. So he had to keep the Dongying army out of the Ming Sea.

"Chief soldier, we can meet with the Dongying army tomorrow, is it too fast?" Cheng Zuo stood behind Mao Wenlong and looked at his back with some concern.

"There's nothing to worry about, although Haoda has found out, Dongying actually poured out this time, dispatching nearly five hundred warships or so. Such strength is indeed not to be underestimated, but it cannot deter our determination to fight against it. Mao Wenlong responded firmly.

Chengzuo was still worried: "It's understandable to fight with Dongying, the problem is that we only have less than 50,000 troops now, and there are only more than 200 warships. There is still no support from the rear, and the subordinates implore the general army to hold off first, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and we will not be too late to go on the road. ”

Mao Wenlong turned around suddenly, looked at Cheng Zuo and said with a smile: "Your worries are indeed justified, but don't forget, we still have more than 100 hot air balloons." Having this stuff is enough for the Dongying army to drink a pot, so you don't have to be too pessimistic, there is no need for this at all. ”

Cheng Zuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something after hearing this, but was stopped by Mao Wenlong waving his hand. I only heard him continue: "Order the whole army to advance at full speed, and be sure to meet with the Dongying army outside the Daming Sea early tomorrow morning." ”

In the face of Mao Wenlong's self-confidence, Chengzuo still has no confidence. Although more than 100 hot air balloons played well, it was indeed better than a strong army. But now Dongying people clearly have a way to deal with hot air balloons, in such a situation, accidents can happen, Chengzuo doesn't want Mao Wenlong to take too much risk.

wanted to persuade him again, but Mao Wenlong couldn't listen to it at all, and in desperation, Chengzuo had no choice but to resign. He secretly sent his henchmen to take a hot air balloon to send news to the reinforcements, telling them to arrive as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, Hao Da waited for Mao Wenlong, he got off the hot air balloon and got on the warship, and when he met Mao Wenlong, he laughed and said: "Chief soldier, those Japanese robbers were delayed for three days by a sudden storm. I saw them start to set off early this morning, ready to continue on their way. ”

After listening to this, Mao Wenlong asked expressionlessly: "Where is the depths of the Dongying army now, and how long will it take to meet us?" ”

Haoda pondered for a moment and said, "Chief soldier, if the Dongying army is fast enough, it should be able to meet us here in an hour. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, and instructed the guards behind him: "Pass the order, everyone rest in place, and the hot air balloon is ready to take off at any time." ”

"Yes, Commander!" The two guards were ordered to leave in a hurry.

A moment later, more than 200 warships of the Dongjiang Army were stationary at sea, and the busy sailors began to prepare for the battle. Haoda also said goodbye to Mao Wenlong and went to arrange for the hot air balloon to be ready to take off.

Everyone was busy, but Mao Wenlong stood alone on the bow of the ship, looking at the possible direction of the Dongying army in the distance, and fell into silence.

The self-confidence on the surface is to not shake the morale of the army and face the 100,000 troops of Dongying. However, the Dongjiang Army only has 40,000 troops and 200 warships, and the disparity is so great that Mao Wenlong said that he was not worried that it would be a lie.
