Chapter 397: Crusade against the East China Sea (32)
The cloud bird warrior didn't lie, at this time, Chu had already landed on the island in person, Xue Sitian rushed to the island with a large group of warriors, and did not encounter any obstacles, as soon as he got on the island, the dozens of soldiers knelt on the ground and handed over their weapons.
Chu took pity on the message from the main fleet in his hand, and shook his head after looking at it: "This kind of idea, only Lao Xiang can come up with it, under such a disadvantage, he has to cut himself off, saying that he is a master of art and bold, or he doesn't care about anything." But this guy seems to be in a hurry, a compassionate person, this time he wants to grab food and kill people. You still can't lose, this is war. ”
After reading it, Chu took pity on it, made a pinch of flames, and burned the signal strip. Next to him, Xue Sitian asked: "Lingyu King, when will we start to send troops." ”
Chu looked up with pity: "The moonlight is too bright, the moon on this sea is really big." But it doesn't matter, the night is the night. Order the Cloudbird warriors to take turns to take off and patrol the sea to prevent small boats from being infested. As long as there are no spies nearby, they can't see anything clearly. Let's get it now, this thing is troublesome, the blue ocean is just a master, and the supplies have to be unloaded here. Summons the main fleet and asks their supply ships to come over as soon as possible. It's going to take a busy night. ”
Chu pity is very annoying about this kind of thing, Xue Sitian responded to the order and went to summon the interrogation.
At this time, they were busy, and in Donghai City, the royal city of the East China Sea Kingdom, even the walls and tiles were only blue and white, and the council hall was brightly lit at this time. The old king was very old, and looked to be eighty or ninety years old. But even if he is old, he can't rest at this time, and he squats on the king's chair and worries.
An old man of the same age got up from the chair, this old man is the prime minister of the East China Sea, his name is Haizhongguang, and the navigator Hai Gongzhang who is floating on the sea is the same family, this is Lao Tzu, that is the son, and the Xiangmen family.
Haizhongguang was on crutches: "My king, ten ships at sea have been lost, and all the rest have escaped with General Wu, and the sea power can be regarded as preserved." But this is meaningless, Xuantian is at war with us, and we have no chance of winning. Even if you win this time, maybe five hundred ships, a thousand ships will come next time. With Xuantian's status, he can easily mobilize the ships of any country. Isn't this time also a three-country alliance? Xuantian's own ships had not been used at all, and half of them were from the Blue Sea and the Holy Sea. Therefore, my proposal is that we are close to the Xuanyuan Continent and far away from the Opposite Sea Continent, and we cannot distinguish between the far and the near, and we should clear the line with the Opposite Sea Continent as soon as possible. ”
The king shook his head: "It's easy for you to say, how to clear the boundary, we are here, it is a springboard for the Sea Continent to attack the Xuanyuan Continent." If we clear the line, they will come and beat us up. We're still going to die. Why do you want to be that wall grass, even if you take refuge in Xuantian at this time, Xuantian can't trust us. ”
"We can let Xuantian garrison and let them fight against the Opposite Sea Continent. ”
"Again, this place has to be broken sooner or later. We chose this place, and our fate was already sealed. And against the sea continent weapons are more powerful, they have firearms, they have a better chance of winning, we choose the one that is more likely to win, or right. At least when the sea wins Xuanyuan, we can still rebuild even if we break it. Or are you concerned about the current war, are there any movements from them?"
A bearded general next to him stepped forward, this bearded man's name was Chen Wu, and he was the Shenwu general of the East China Sea.
Chen Wu replied: "Lord, I just got the news that the ships behind our fleet have all retreated. And Sejon Island has already been occupied. There is no doubt that they already know about the arrival of our sea reinforcements, but it is strange that in such a situation, they do not want to retreat, but go to occupy the island of Sejon, what is the purpose of this?"
The king looked at the old man.
The king waved his hand: "Just sit and talk." ”
"Thank you, my king," Hai Zhongguang sat down: "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid the worst is about to happen." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Haizhongguang analyzed: "At this time, they knew that we had strong reinforcements, and there was no chance of winning at sea. Their large ships, which are only observed to be used to transport troops, are difficult to sink, but they also have little attack power and are slow. Fighting at sea, it doesn't play much of a role. So don't worry about what kind of secret weapon it is, in this case, their fleet can't beat us. Then you can only fight on two sides, a naval battle on the one hand, and a forced landing on the other. In this way, it is difficult for them, not necessarily to succeed, and success is a pyrrhic victory. But this is indeed the only way to go other than retreat. But instead of doing so, they ran to land on Sejin Island in a hurry, what were they going to do there? Did they leave the empty ship at sea for us to smash? Probably not, then after their men landed on the island, the fleet might leave, the sea is so big, just find a place to hide, we can't find it. ”
"Leave, then will they starve to death on the island? So many people, maybe there will be no food and grass in the short term, but after a siege of ten days and half a month, there will definitely be a shortage of food and grass. Chen Wu looked like he didn't understand.
Hai Zhongguang said: "So I said that it is the most terrible situation, if they don't worry about the problem of food and grass, then maybe they are just the forward, and the follow-up troops are already at sea." I don't care about reinforcements from the Sea Continent at all, I said that Xuantian can easily send a thousand warships to come. ”
The king asked if there would be fraud?
Hai Zhongguang shook his head: "I can't be sure, but I can be sure of one thing, if their strength is less than 60,000, then they can live on the island for at least more than twenty days." It's too late for them to call for help. And for the sake of food, we, the people of Sejin Island, will be slaughtered. ”
After Haizhongguang finished speaking, everyone gasped. An official stepped forward: "We can't watch the people die, if they do, I suggest that since they want food, then give them food, so that they don't embarrass the people." ”
Chen Wu said that it was impossible, there were still ten days before the next Yunxiao grain delivery, and the food supply in Yunxiao was not sufficient in the past two years, and there was no food in the East China Sea to exchange people.
The official asked if he couldn't let Ji Mingguo find a way to buy some grain and find a ship to send it?
After the official finished speaking, a group of people immediately looked at him. He was a little overwhelmed: "Did I mean something wrong?"
Hai Zhongguang spoke: "You have been sick and at home for the past two months, and it is normal to not know, Xuantian has already attacked Tianlong under the pretext of attacking Tianlong and defeated the country of Jiming before coming to us." Xuantian and Tianlong put on a good show, if the country of Ji Ming was defeated, we could think that it was because of us, maybe the situation could be better. At least it won't get all the troops of Xizhen Island to meet the sea mainland. Xuantian is really painstaking. ”
The official had nothing to say, he had been lying at home for two months, but he didn't expect that the rooster was gone, and he couldn't get food.
