The fleet sailed east for a few more days, but it was still unusually calm. But everyone in the fleet, under Xia Di's notice, knew that there would be a big battle to be experienced next.

He Chaozhi's speculation was deeply recognized by Xia Di, but Xia Di did not fully announce his speculation. He simply borrowed his name and announced to the crew the first step in He Chaozhi's guessing trilogy - to announce to everyone that there was an enemy blocking his way to Leiyin Island. And there are more things, Xia Di didn't tell anyone, so as not to cause panic among everyone.

The clippers, which were hoisted on the sides of the big ship, were lowered. The twelve clippers carried by the three giant ships, under the control of sailors, were organized into three reconnaissance fleets, patrolling the range of 500 miles in the front, left, and right directions of the fleet, in order to obtain more information about the Kraken.

In the beginning, of course, everything was fine. But as the fleet got closer and closer to Leiyin Island, some clues were gradually discovered and gathered into the fleet. Through the analysis of this information, He Chaozhi and his companions quickly judged all kinds of news about the Kraken army.

"Five days ago, they appeared on the sea, three hundred and fifty miles from us, and they were few in number, and they were hiding. Three days earlier, they had appeared on the surface of the sea, three hundred and twenty miles to the left and right of us, and they had doubled their numbers and moved more clearly. As for yesterday, they had invaded the sea, two hundred and fifty-four miles to our left and right, and were more numerous and bolder. The reconnaissance ships on the left flank had already fought with them once and achieved good results - which also proved the claim that they were not strong. In the command cabin, the enshriners and generals gathered around the chart table, watching He Chaozhi mark the small flags representing the existence of the Kraken on it, and listening to him summarize the information he had obtained in the past few days.

"From here...... What do you see?" After He Chaozhi finished speaking, Xia Di looked around the crowd in the arena and asked this question, and he deliberately guided everyone to say what they thought.

"The Sea Clan armies on both sides are like two pincers, and they have pinched us into powder. I guess the main force is probably on the left and right flanks!" said one of the generals.

"I don't think it'......," Tang He shook his head gently. Although he is now an enshriner, he was also a battle-hardened general, and he noticed one thing keenly: "According to the information that Asahi told us, the enemy on both flanks is in a state of gradual increase, and these increased forces do not seem to be as elite as they were at the beginning. At first, they knew how to hide their shape, but as their strength grew, they became even more aggressive. This is a sign of self-confidence at best, but on the other hand, it is just too reckless. Ordinary smart people don't do that. ”

"What does this mean?" Tang He pointed out this point, and everyone understood it when they heard it, but they still couldn't figure out what it meant.

"It's very simple! You've heard of anyone who would use a rabble as the main force? The two wings of the enemy, I don't think they look like pincers, but like the hands of the chickens and ducks, but only play a role in the momentum, and its purpose is to drive us into some pocket!" Tang He thought and said, "You can connect the points they pass through and draw an arc of inertia. If you put this arc up and put it on the chart board, you will find that their line is actually a concave bottom, and we and their real main force are waiting for us in this concave bottom. ”

"Isn't that driving us into our pockets?" said Tang He, and everyone would have come to their senses.

"Well, that's what it looks like!" Tang He nodded heavily, "All in all, they want us to go toe-to-toe with them at the place specified at the right time." ”

"They want to use the trash fish to consume our energy, and then use the powerful main force to launch a deadly attack on us? It is really a good old-fashioned strategy, and it is really nothing new. A general, knowing this, shook his head lightly and let out an untimely sigh.

"Whether there is something new or not, as long as this method can get us into trouble and can give full play to their strength, then it means that it is a good method! Tang He said in a defensive manner.

He is naturally right, and at this time, this principle is the most fair and absolute degree, but as far as everyone thinks at the moment, this principle is somewhat biased. However, the butt decides the head, since Tang He is a human being, he said such a thing, but he was directly put into another book, which made the onlookers a little stunned and felt a little weird.

"Well, don't think about the things that you have and don't have. There are two possibilities for the layout of the enemy. I don't know if that's more likely, I just know we're in big trouble right now. We need good ideas that allow us to crack the layout of the other side like this. Xia Di narrowed his eyes as he spoke, and he asked Xie Liuyun, who had been pondering without speaking: "Liuyun, can our fleet still walk to the sides to avoid the opponent's military formation?"

"No, the other party has pressed not far from us. In our current situation, it is impossible to turn around and avoid them. If we take a long detour, we won't be able to go to Leiyin Island to resupply. Xie Liuyun calmly told the objective facts.

That is to say...... Can we just keep moving forward and step into their trap step by step?" He Chaozhi keenly grasped this.

"Objectively speaking, it is. Xie Liuyun nodded helplessly.

"So, we can only prepare for battle?" Xia Di made it clear what the final consequences of this situation would lead to.

"But that's the case!" Xie Liuyun nodded helplessly again.

"Then prepare for battle!" Xia Di didn't think about anything else, and gave instructions to prepare for battle. To officially prepare for battle, a lot of information that could have been put on the table must be quickly figured out: "By the way, according to their current situation, when and where will they collide with us?"

"What's this?" He Chaozhi looked at the chart table and frowned slightly, "I still have to do some calculations, it will take a little time." ”

"Calculate, how long will it take you to calculate?"

"Half an hour...... This is the minimal...... There's a good chance it will take an hour or two. Uncle Shi, you know that such calculations are very complicated. He Chaozhi gave the corresponding time. Actually, he didn't want to do this, but there was no way, and calculation was really not an easy job for him.

"Then you hurry up......" He Chaozhi said this, and Xia Di also understood that he was not lying, so he could only continue like this.

"Crackling!" The sound of the abacus fiddling sounded, followed by the sound of fiddling with the calculations, and He Chaozhi fell into a busy calculation. The people on the side also looked at him nervously, waiting for him to calculate the reported results.

Although everyone knew that it would be a long time before he really came to fruition, almost everyone held their breath for fear of disturbing him and causing him to miscalculate.

It's just that......

"Is this kind of calculation really difficult?" Li Jingxuan raised his eyebrows helplessly, looking at the appearance of everyone as if they were facing a great enemy, he was a little amused.

"It's just a parabolic calculation, is it necessary to take so long and do it so nervously?" Li Jingxuan thought and shook his head gently. He looked at the coordinate parameters on the chart, and then at the calculation data on He Chaozhi's manuscript, and roughly understood in his heart that he was using those things to participate in the calculation.

While he affirmed that some of the data involved in the calculations were useless, some of them were useful. After calculating in his mind for a while, Li Jingxuan distilled the truly useful data.

At the same time as He Chaozhi was calculating with the calculation plan, Li Jingxuan's mental arithmetic also began. He directly applied the data he found to the relevant function formula, and after a series of calculations, he quickly came up with the relevant answer, "When we are still four hundred and fifty miles away from Leiyin Island, we will inevitably encounter the local army." If, the speed of the voyage of our fleet has not changed. Then, in three days, we will definitely go to war with the enemy. And it's going to be a night fight. ”

Li Jingxuan whispered the results of his calculations. He was talking to himself, but because everyone in the cabin was silent, his self-talk was very conspicuous. Although he said it quietly enough, Xia Di still vaguely heard something.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Di sent a message to Li Jingxuan. There is no way to do this, because he is worried that the voice of his voice will disturb He Chaozhi's calculations, so Xia Di can only use such a secret method.

"The result of the calculation!" was suddenly asked, and Li Jingxuan replied instinctively.

"What? The result of the calculation? have you already come up with it?" Xia Di's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, he stood up from his seat in shock, and strode to Li Jingxuan's side, regardless of everyone's inquiring surprise and surprise, but he gently pulled Li Jingxuan to the other side of the cabin, which was far away from the chart table.

"Have you calculated the result?" Xia Di asked in a low voice.

"Hmm!" Li Jingxuan's relatives nodded.

"Really, fake, and what is the result?" Xia Di was still a little unconvinced, but he didn't give Li Jingxuan any time to prepare, and hurriedly asked.

"That's it......" Li Jingxuan informed Xia Di of the results he calculated.

"Hmm...... Three days later? I don't know if that's correct. But it's just the right time. The tightness on Xia Di's face disappeared a little.

Three days, if this is true, then there is still some time for him to prepare. It's good for him and for everybody.
