381 Twenty-four thousand troops
East China Sea, outside Zhongtun Island!
The fleet under Liu Cheng had just sailed out of the East China Sea and entered the West Sea shortly after.
The fleets under the command of the three forces united by Lin Yang's secret collusion early in the morning also sailed into the East China Sea.
This time, in order to take Liu Cheng's Zhongtun Island, and at the same time, in order to show their muscles to the other two forces, the fleets dispatched by the three forces are quite a lot.
Each of the fleets sent out was 400 in number, and the combined strength of the three forces was 1,200 warships.
Not to mention how terrifying the total area of these 1,200 warships is, and what a magnificent scene on the sea!
Just based on the fact that each battleship carries 200 people, these 1,200 warships have a strength of 240,000 troops, which is almost all the elites that the three forces can dispatch.
With such a terrifying force, the three parties were naturally extremely confident, and no one thought that Liu Cheng had the ability to resist.
However, from the moment such a terrifying force entered the East China Sea, the leaders of the three forces all felt that the situation was very wrong.
The biggest reason for this aberrations is that they have not encountered even the slightest resistance or detection.
To say that Liu Cheng didn't get any news about the invasion of their three fleets, even a three-year-old child couldn't believe it.
After all, the momentum of the three fleets is not small, even if their own local forces can be hidden, it is impossible for them to remain unknown to Liu Cheng after entering the East China Sea.
And Liu Cheng, knowing that they were attacking in a big way, didn't resist at all, and didn't even mean to send someone to investigate, which was a bit weird.
"It seems that this Kang Pinghou should be playing that idea!"
Lin Yang, who was on this side of the South China Sea, immediately sensed Liu Cheng's thoughts based on a simple analysis of the information he had mastered.
"What is he going to do?" Tie Lanying on the side asked.
"What? It seems that this Kang Pinghou is quite confident in his own strength, and judging from the information we have so far, he should be planning to give up resistance on the sea in the case of the main fleet's westward expedition to the West Sea. β
"Give up resistance on the sea?"
"Yes, he intends to give up resistance on the sea and then concentrate on defending the important islands in the East China Sea!" Lin Yang affirmed.
"This is indeed a way to do it, put the battlefield on the island, and his disadvantage will be minimized."
"Not only that, I guess he also has the intention of dragging us back, and then letting his fleet in the West Sea go to dig out our nest after annihilating the West Sea, how to say it, this Liu Cheng's strategy always gives me a very naΓ―ve feeling.
Although it looks decent, the premise of all this is that everyone follows his plan, and once someone deviates from his plan, his strategy may collapse at best. β
Lin Yang shook his head and gave him what he thought was a pertinent evaluation of Liu Cheng's strategy.
"Let's go, let's go and tell this Kang Pinghou that this is not how the war is fought!"
As he spoke, Lin Yang waved his hand and drove straight in with the swaggering fleet under his command.
However, Lin Yang's fleet did not kill Zhongtun Island, but went in the direction of Feiyan Island.
In fact, with the 200,000 or so people in Liu Cheng's hands, let alone the management and development of the entire Dazhou Sea area, even if Liu Chengdu has not been able to fully develop the entire East China Sea.
In the East China Sea, Liu Cheng focused on the development of the three islands of Baiye, Feiyan and Zhongtun.
At present, these three islands have already been targeted by Lin Yang and other three forces, the target of Ryukyu is Baiye, the Beihai is Zhongtun, and the target of the South China Sea is Feiyan.
They came over with such a fierce momentum, preparing to take the most important island under Liu Cheng's command.
Since Liu Cheng's side was basically undefended, Lin Yang and their way was quite smooth, and they almost didn't encounter any obstacles, and they easily came to Feiyan Island.
After arriving at Feiyan Island, Lin Yang was actually ready to fight a difficult landing battle.
Surprisingly, when they landed, they did not encounter the strong resistance that Lin Yang expected.
The pirates under his command landed easily from the port of Feiyan Island.
After Lin Yang's people went to Feiyan Island, and after a brief survey on Feiyan Island, Lin Yang found that Liu Cheng seemed to have completely abandoned Feiyan Island.
At present, the people on Feiyan Island are basically fishermen and farmers, and there is no armed force at all, and all the materials on Feiyan Island have been withdrawn.
"Concentrate on the defensive side?"
When Lin Yang saw the situation on Feiyan Island, he immediately knew Liu Cheng's plan.
"What do we do next? Slaughtered the island or went over to help them? Tie Lanying asked.
"What are you doing on this island? Don't you see a lot of medicine fields on the island? After defeating Liu Cheng, these are all our assets, what reason do you think we have to spoil our own industry? As for whether to help them or not? Well, forget it, I always feel that this Liu Cheng has something to hold, let's not take the lead for now, let them rush to see it first. β
Lin Yang immediately sent a reconnaissance ship and asked them to reconnoiter the situation on Zhongtun Island and Baiye Island, while the large army rested on the spot.
On the other side, Zhongtun Island and White Night Island.
Due to the almost simultaneous attack of the three parties, after Lin Yang arrived on Feiyan Island, the Ryukyu Navy and Beihai had basically killed their respective targets.
The situation encountered by these two parties was similar to Lin Yang at the beginning, and when they landed, they basically did not encounter any resistance.
But after they started landing, it was a completely different story.
When the Ryukyu Navy and the North Sea pirates landed in the port, they were just relieved, and Liu Cheng launched a counterattack.
Various trebuchets that had been set up near the harbor early in the morning, crossbow bolts began to attack.
A wave of attacks directly knocked out the Ryukyu army and the North Sea pirates.
I've never seen such a non-common sense to play cards, you don't play when people land, you have to wait until they successfully land, and only start to play after they are relaxed.
This not only had a surprising effect, but also greatly dampened their spirits.
Of course, the two sides of Beihai and Ryukyu are not vegetarians, and after being confused by the surprise attack at first, they reacted quickly.
Under the command of experienced pirates and generals, an orderly defense began.
It didn't take long for them to stabilize their position with their experience and numerical superiority, and began to attack Liu Cheng's defensive position......
