Chapter Thirty-Seven: Another Expedition
After Zhou Tai returned to Three Snake Island, Three Snake Island was still the same as always, and the shipyard was being built in an orderly manner, and it was already foreseeable that it would not be far from the date of completion.
The navy is also actively training, and after several wars, everyone's spirit has been greatly improved, and their cultivation has also been greatly improved with the supply of sufficient resources.
As for the recent continuation of the sweep of peripheral forces?
Zhou Tai didn't have that idea, now that the news of the destruction of Three Snake Island is believed to have spread, the various forces will definitely increase their defense.
Moreover, the Evil Heart Sect was destroyed just now, and the navy still needed some time to settle down and use the resources captured from the Evil Heart Island to speed up their cultivation.
Although most of the resources were brought back to Haiyuan City by Zhou Tai and handed over to Xia Ren, the rest was enough for the navy to cultivate, after all, the overall cultivation of the navy was not high, and it all depended on the number of people and battle formations to win, and the accumulation of the Heart Sect for a hundred years was not a small amount.
In fact, the main reason why Zhou Tai did not decide to go on the expedition was the problem of warships, these warships were all old warships in Haiyuan City before, and they could not support it for long, Zhou Yehong reminded him last time.
Therefore, Zhou Tai is ready to let the people of the Zhou family spend some time, repair it a little, and be able to support another combat mission, and wait for the next time to destroy a force, and then precipitate some more time, and the Sea King warship should be almost good.
Three days later, Zhou Tai ushered in Duan Zhengchun on the island, which replenished the number of masters on Three Snake Island and made Zhou Tai more confident.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed.
After a month's rest, the cultivation of everyone in the navy has been improved by an average of a small level, after all, the cultivation is relatively low, and with sufficient resources, it is still easy to improve.
Zhou Tai also selected about 300 elite soldiers from them and incorporated them into his Canglan Guard, and after a month of cultivation, they were all slightly introduced, which was much stronger than the ordinary navy.
In the seaside port, Zhou Tai and Duan Zhengchun stood on the side, and the surrounding navies were all on board in unison.
"Mr. Duan, Three Snake Island will trouble you. ”
Duan Zhengchun said with a smile: "General Zhou rest assured, Zhengchun will definitely protect the Three Snake Island, and the general can rest assured that he will go on the expedition." ”
After speaking, he spoke again: "In the past half a month, I have probably collected some information about the surrounding forces, since the flying thief found out that his envoy was missing, he has constantly sent people to wander around the Three Snake Island, they dare not go to the island, but there are a lot of eyeliner around the island. ”
"This time the general is on an expedition, you need to pay attention at all times and clear your eyeliner in time, otherwise the news of the general's expedition will definitely be transmitted back to the flying thieves, and it is very likely that they will take advantage of the absence of the general's army to attack the Three Snake Island. ”
Zhou Tai said solemnly: "Sir, rest assured, Ben will follow the warship in the air this time to clean up the eyeliner around our route to ensure that the news cannot be transmitted, but I still need to trouble Mr. Duan to clean up the eyeliner in the rest of the directions, so as to make some confusion." ”
Duan Zhengchun said with a smile: "The general's method is feasible, after the general goes out, I will act, this time the general should be easy to go to the bloodthirsty alliance, after my investigation, the strongest talent of the bloodthirsty alliance is fourfold, and the general can be captured." ”
Zhou Tai clenched his fists: "Mr. Cheng Duan's auspicious words, I will go first." ”
After speaking, Zhou Tai flew into the air and transmitted a message to Tong Shui: "Let's go." ”
Tong Shui hoisted the nameless flag on the main battleship, and then sailed out of the harbor, followed by the warships that sailed out of the harbor with him.
Watching the warship leave the port, Duan Zhengchun also flew into the distance, ready to solve the eyeliner in the rest of the directions, after a few days of exploration, Duan Zhengchun had figured out the location of all the eyeliners.
The warship traveled all the way, Zhou Tai flew far in front of the warship, and when he saw a strange ship, Zhou Tai would destroy it, and everyone on board would kill it.
If the people on the ship did not cultivate, Zhou Tai would grab them and put them on the warship for the navy to guard, and kill all those who had cultivation.
As for whether it will hurt the innocent, Zhou Tai can't care so much, after all, the news of the army's expedition can't be known by others, if he kills the wrong one, it can only be regarded as his bad luck, at most Zhou Tai killed a few more guilty people to accompany him.
Soon, the army reached the waters around the Bloodthirsty Island, where the Bloodthirsty Alliance was located.
Sure enough, there were a lot more guards patrolling nearby, and as soon as the warship appeared, the other party found out, and quickly beat the warning drum, and suddenly the drum sounded loudly, and several patrolling boats around rang out the drum.
Zhou Tai didn't care, after all, it had been a month since the Evil Heart Sect was destroyed, and the surrounding forces must have discovered it, if he didn't strengthen his vigilance, it would be really stupid.
Looking at the few patrol ships fleeing to the distant bloodthirsty island, Zhou Tai didn't care, but just ordered the warships to speed up, and strive to get close to the port and fight a landing battle with them when the opponent's fleet did not appear, after all, the navy's warships are a bit rubbish now, and it is a bit empty to fight a naval battle.
However, it often backfired, and just as the warship was about to arrive at the port, several warships sailed out of the port, which were the warships of the Bloodthirsty Alliance.
Suddenly, Zhou Tai ordered the warship to slow down and prepare for battle.
When the distance between the two warships was only 200 meters, some stones were scattered from the warships of the Bloodthirsty Alliance, which were thrown by trebuchets.
These scattered stones, before they fell, were blown up by Zhou Tai in the air, it was really too few trebuchets of the Bloodthirsty Alliance, there were only seven warships in total, and there were less than ten stone throwers.
Although the warships of the Bloodthirsty Alliance are better than those of the navy, they are also uneven, and some of them cannot be equipped with stone-throwing machines at all, so there are only less than ten stone-throwing machines in total.
If there are a lot of trebuchets, then it may not be able to take care of them, but before the expedition, Duan Zhengchun had already found out the specific situation of the Bloodthirsty Alliance, and it was clear how many warships and what configuration.
"All the giant crossbows are ready to be fired. ”
Just when the warships of the two sides were about to approach 100 meters, Zhou Tai roared.
"Ready, put. ”
Suddenly, more than a dozen warships of the navy shot huge crossbows one after another, shooting towards the bloodthirsty alliance warships.
Not to be outdone, the warships of the Bloodthirsty Alliance also fired the giant crossbows on board and attacked the navy.
However, when the Bloodthirsty Alliance's giant crossbows were about to reach the warship, small waves suddenly set off on the sea, blocking the direction of those giant crossbows.
Some of the giant crossbows are directly stopped by the waves, and some even if they can't stop the giant crossbow, but they will greatly weaken the impact of the giant crossbow.
By the time the giant crossbow passed through the waves, the giant crossbow was no longer able to damage the ship's ships and personnel, at most it had not entered the warship a little, and it could not cause damage to the warship at all.
These waves are released by the navy in battle formations, the weaker waves are released by ordinary navies, and the stronger waves are released by those who are ready to defend the waves.
Canglanwei's battle formation is stronger than the naval battle formation, and the cultivation is also higher, but this kind of battle formation can only be used by Canglanwei, because they have the mark of the main general's class on their bodies, and they can cultivate this special battle formation.
After several rounds of giant crossbows were fired, the opposing warships retreated to the harbor one after another, as if preparing for a landing battle with the navy.
However, this is also what Zhou Tai wants, because the navy's warships, after firing a few rounds of giant crossbows, there are faint cracks on the decks of the warships, and after a few more rounds, they will definitely not be able to hold on, after all, these warships have been many years old.
chased each other all the way into the port, watching each other get off the ship.
The navy also lowered their ladders one after another, set up on the opposite warship, and went ashore from the opposite warship.
The ports of the Bloodthirsty Alliance were too small to stop too many warships, so they could only stop next to each other and go ashore through the opposing warships.
Canglanwei passed first, followed by the others. ”
Seeing that the ladder was put away, Zhou Tai shouted loudly.
There must be an ambush on the opposite shore, and ordinary navies may lose a lot when they go ashore, but the Canglan Guard is strong and forms a battle formation, which can resist a lot of ambushes and buy time for the navy behind.
Looking at the few warships in the back, Zhou Tai quickly flew over, found the leader, and ordered: "You immediately drive the ship to the side of the port, although you can't dock, but try to get closer to the shore, and then swim ashore from the sea." ”
"The people on the other side are mainly concentrated in the port, there shouldn't be many people over there, be careful not to run aground, I will cover you." ”
The leader quickly took the order, then turned the bow of the ship and quickly headed for the side.
After giving the order, Zhou Tai quickly rose into the air, and while paying attention to the battlefield, he stared at the leader opposite, that is, the master of the Mortal Fourfold.
Zhou Tai didn't plan to solve him immediately, although it was easy, but to solve the leader, the pirates were bound to have no fighting spirit and wanted to surrender, so the effect of training would be much weaker, which was not what Zhou Tai wanted.
He would rather have more casualties, but also train elite soldiers.
