"What!"

Bai Yue jumped up, as if he was frightened, he quickly shook his head again and again: "Twenty-two large siege ships? impossible! How could there be so many large siege ships in Guangming Continent! Twenty-two, don't be kidding, are there twenty-two large siege ships in the entire holy area?"

If it weren't for General Pang Ruo standing in front of him, he would have blasted people out of the door a long time ago.

The official hibiscus on the side also showed suspicion, this news was really too shocking.

The large siege ship is one of the top combat units in the Sanctuary, and it is a well-deserved king among siege machines. The large siege ship is extremely large, and it is also the largest warship, like a moving fortress.

The sheer size of the volume, and the amount of precious materials that need to be consumed, are one of the reasons why it is expensive. Another reason is that it is very difficult to make, and it is also at the top level.

A large siege ship targeting a fortress requires a lot of top-notch technology. There are many weapons dealers in the Sanctuary, but there are only three that have the ability to make large siege ships. Like Xu Ji, a weapon dealer who is already a well-known weapon dealer in the Southern Regions, but he can't afford to make it.

Only the top weapons dealers with deep pockets and strong technology can make large siege ships.

However, making a large siege ship is also a time-consuming and labor-intensive, three-year project, which is daunting. Bai Yue and Guan Jian had never heard of more than ten large siege ships appearing at the same time, and suddenly heard the fleet of twenty-two large siege ships, where would the two of them believe it.

Pang Ruo didn't have the slightest hint of joke on his face: "I have confirmed it repeatedly." ”

The old general's face was solemn, and when he saw the news, his first reaction was not to believe it. It wasn't until he repeatedly confirmed that he knew that this ridiculous news was true, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Twenty-two large siege ships, the largest and most luxurious siege fleet in history, the old general couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, and the unprecedented scale of war beasts gathered together, the scene must be extremely spectacular.

However, these war behemoths belong to the other side of the battlefield, and the old general shuddered.

Any fortress is as fragile as paper in the face of this siege fleet of unprecedented size. There is no line of defense that can stop these war behemoths, and on the frontal battlefield, they lose the advantage of defense.

This is absolutely terrible news for the Southern Regions.

In the battle with Qiu Xuhua, Pang Ruo had an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Guangmingzhou Corps. If it weren't for Bai Yue's surprise attack, the defeat of the coalition would have been doomed. Fighting at home, the corps of the Southern Regions did not lack the will to fight, and the Southern Regions, which had always been wealthy, were also not inferior in terms of equipment, but the quality of the soldiers and the level of non-commissioned officers on both sides were not at the same level at all.

Guangming Zhou has been operating the encroachment strategy for many years, but there is no big war, but the small war has never been broken. All the corps in Guangming Continent have full experience in actual combat. Most of the corps in the Southern Regions are decorations, and it is already a rare combat experience to suppress pirates, and many corps have not even fought in actual combat since they were formed.

Guangming Zhou's order is unified, and once a decision is made, the whole country is united and resolute and tenacious. Although he is nominally the commander of the coalition forces, there are many factions and complicated relationships, and things often happen that go against the sun.

None of this made the veteran general lose confidence in the situation, because they were fighting at home, had defensive advantages, had enough depth, and although they would pay huge casualties, as long as they could drag the enemy into a stalemate, the final victory would definitely belong to them.

However, the appearance of these war beasts instantly shattered his confidence.

The slow-moving war beast can easily crush all the defenses, and if it loses the advantage of defense, the army of Guangming Continent will drive straight in. At that point, the situation will be irretrievably eroded.

Bai Yue opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't make a sound, and there was no blood on his face. The official hibiscus beside him was also as white as paper.

Pang Ruo sighed in his heart, without the slightest hint of ridicule, he was not as good as the two of them when he first received the news. However, he is a veteran of combat experience, and even in desperate situations, he will not despair.

"The defense line of the Southern Alliance will soon be lost, and Shangzhou will not be able to hold it. The old general said in a deep voice: "After seizing Shangzhou, there will be the benefits of black gold, and our situation will be even worse." We have to find a way to destroy these large siege ships, no matter how many casualties we pay, or ......"

He didn't say the rest and didn't need to say it.

Guan Jian bit his lip tightly, and his lips were bitten white: "It's difficult, Gou Cheng Wendao will definitely do his best to protect these large siege ships." ”

"It's hard. The old general nodded calmly: "But no matter how difficult it is, we also need to destroy them." The Weihai Fortress will definitely not be able to defend it, including the defense line of the South Alliance, and it will definitely be destroyed. If Guangming Continent really intends to seize Shang Zhou, we may not have no chance. ”

The official looked at the old general inexplicably.

Pang Ruo glanced at Bai Yue, who was lost in his soul, and continued: "The strength of the Southern Alliance is actually stronger than I imagined. Weihai Fortress can't stop Gou Chengwen's footsteps, so they can only retreat until Shangzhou. The entrance to the sea in Shangzhou was so small that large siege ships could not enter, even medium-sized siege ships. For SAARC, their only chance is to set up the battlefield in Shangzhou. If Guangming Continent really wants to seize Shangzhou, Gou Cheng Wendao must invest troops into Shangzhou, at that time, it is also the time when the defense of large siege ships is the weakest, for us, this is the only chance. ”

Guan Jian immediately understood that the old general was preparing to use SAARC as bait. But he had to admit that it was a brilliant plan, and the only one that was possible at the moment.

"Time is urgent, I hope your regiment will leave now. We will launch an offensive against Qiu Xuhua to cover your evacuation. The old general said in a deep voice.

Guan Jian looked at Bai Yue, in the entire Southern Regions, only the White Crow Corps and the Holy Tower Corps could complete this task, but the coalition army needed the old general to defend it, so this task could only fall on them.

Bai Yue suddenly raised his head, unexpectedly, he shook his head: "The situation may not be so bad. ”

Pang Ruo frowned imperceptibly, he didn't expect that at this point, Bai Yue would still be lucky. He was a little surprised, he was fighting side by side with Bai Yue these days, and he gradually understood Bai Yue, this was not a general who lacked decisiveness and indecision.

However, now is the most urgent time.

Twenty-two large siege ships were unstoppable, and if it weren't for their slow speed, they wouldn't even have the only chance. Even so, there is a theoretical opportunity to evacuate from now, all the way at full speed. With a slight delay, the theoretical time will disappear.

Bai Yue is an excellent general, such a low-level mistake should not appear to him.

He was waiting for Bai Yue's explanation.

Guan Hibiscus was also waiting for an explanation from the adult, and in his opinion, this was the only chance, and he did not understand why the adult would hesitate on such a crucial issue.

"The situation won't be that bad. Bai Yue repeated what he had just said, while sorting out his thoughts, thinking about how to organize his language: "Weihai Fortress is Xie Yu'an's defense, and the fortress he has deployed will not be so easy to destroy." Even if the other side has so many large siege ships, it will not be so easy. I know him very well, he's not one to sit still. ”

As he spoke, his eyes brightened slightly: "Moreover, their commander is not a person who sits still. ”

Pang Ruo showed a look of disappointment, Bai Yue's words did not have any useful content. Xie Yu'an is not a person who sits idly by, and the commander of the SAARC is not a person who sits idly by, so what is the use of this? In the face of absolute power, such an argument is too ridiculous.

"It can't be delayed any longer. Pang Ruo immediately made a decision and said coldly: "As the commander of the coalition forces, I order the White Crow Corps to immediately execute the order!"

Bai Yue smiled.

"Do you want to disobey?" Pang Ruo narrowed his eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not under the jurisdiction of the coalition forces. Bai Yue put away the smile on his face and said calmly: "The White Crow Corps belongs to the Southern Alliance, and only obeys the orders of the commander of the Southern Alliance. ”

Guan Hibiscus opened his mouth wide, why didn't he know?

Pang Ruo didn't speak, he just looked at Bai Yue, and Bai Yue's face didn't have the slightest panic or disguise. He was a little disappointed, but more of an accident. The White Crow Corps actually obeyed the orders of the commander of the Yugoslav Alliance?

The White Crow Corps is a golden corps, with a transcendent status, and now there are only two golden corps left in the Southern Regions, if it weren't for Bai Yue's lack of prestige, he could even pull out a coalition army like Pang Ruo.

No matter from any point of view, the White Crow Corps has much more weight than the commander of the SAARC.

Unexpectedly, the White Crow Corps obeyed the command of SAARC, and there were too many intriguing things in it. The outside world generally believes that the Bai family's investment in SAARC is more of an investment than a complete membership. Looking at it now, it seems to be different from what everyone thinks.

For the first time, Pang Ruo became interested in the so-called commander of the SAARC.

Seeing Bai Yue's resolute attitude, Pang Ruo no longer did useless work, and said in a deep voice: "I hope you don't regret this decision." ”

"Time will tell. Bai Yue greeted.

Seeing the old general leave expressionlessly, Guan Jin's face darkened: "My lord, why don't your subordinates know about such important information?"

Bai Yue snorted: "Oh, oh, oh, this is the decision I just made." ”

Guan Jin was stunned for a moment, and then rushed up with a wave of anger: "My lord, do you know what this decision means? How many people in the entire Southern Regions have died because of this decision? The subordinates don't understand why the adults are so confident in them, even in such an irreparable situation, the adults will still wishfully think that they have the means to make such a rash decision......

Bai Yue smiled and handed over a cup of chrysanthemum tea: "Drink some tea and quench the fire." ”

Guan Jian saw Bai Yue's faceless appearance, and his anger dissipated invisibly for some reason.

"Time will tell. ”

The smile on Bai Yue's face disappeared and said lightly.
