[763] Leave
The sea breeze brings a burst of coolness and comfort as it blows across the deck. The fleet continued on, and in five or six days, they were able to reach the north of Shuoyue Island.
At that time, Gong Mingyi will be dispatched to respond.
The ape at the bow of the boat did not say a word, and continued to raise his eyes and stare ahead.
The sparkling blue sea and the pristine blue sky in front of you are all so beautiful. The cloudy light scatters gold on the surface of the sea, adding to the beauty of the sea.
The lieutenant who stood beside him was also an ape demon, a monkey covered in red hair. It's just that compared to the ginseng ape, there are no wrinkles on the face at all, and it is very young. Not only did he say something unimpressed, but so did the look on his face. In his tone, there was even more contempt, and he didn't put the Nine Shadows Kingdom in his eyes at all.
They have been stationed in the north for a long time, which is frozen and snowy all year round, isolated from the world, and they don't know the power of the Nine Shadows Country at all, and naturally they will not take the Nine Shadows Kingdom in their eyes.
In addition to the youth and vigor, the Beiyin Dynasty has been dominating the world for tens of millions of years, so that these young ghost soldiers of the Beiyin Dynasty always feel that they and the Beiyin Dynasty are still as omnipotent as ever.
Another gust of sea breeze came to his face, and after the water ape who had been silent for a long time smiled indifferently, he said slowly to the deputy general beside him: "The sea is windy, be careful to flash your tongue." ”。
As a high-ranking general of the Northern Yin Dynasty, he has more authority than the adjutant, and he can see more newspapers than the adjutant. In most of the newspapers he had read, it was not difficult to see that the Nine Shadows Kingdom was based on the thousand-year-old ghost country of the Ghost Mother Country, and he adopted the strategy of making a fortune in a muffled voice, blinding the eyes of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu for ten years.
In the past ten years, when the Northern Yin Dynasty was busy encircling and suppressing the rebel ghost soldiers in various places, the Nine Shadows Kingdom was in a safe corner, so that all aspects of the Nine Shadows Kingdom could be stable and rapid development.
During this period of time, the national strength and military strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom have been greatly improved.
Therefore, when the Northern Yin Dynasty remembered to clean up the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it was always helpless, and there were many defeats and few victories. The long-term counterinsurgency of the Northern Yin Dynasty made the national strength too depleted. In this kind of elimination and growth, the Nine Shadows Kingdom already has the strength to faintly surpass the Northern Yin Dynasty.
And what is known now is that the sailors of the Nine Shadows Country are not so weak. More than ten years of development have given them the strength to cross the six seas. And the generals in the sailors are also the ghosts of naval warfare, not only Wu Zhiqi has been working for Xiao Shizhu, but even Gonggong is also working for him. Gonggong is the best ghost in naval warfare in the underworld. If the Gonggong had had the treasure ship of the Beiyin Dynasty Sailor, the Gonggong State would have already dominated the south of the Yin Cao Difu before.
Now that the masters of water warfare are all working for the Nine Shadows Kingdom, the Gonggong clans under his command, which are not good at water warfare, are now working for them in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. The sailors of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are even more powerful.
Any rule that is good at naval warfare knows that although the supply fleet is heavily guarded, it is far away from the war zone and the sea under the rule of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and it is too easy to attack on the vast sea.
And the boundless sea water can make the supply fleet not even have a chance to escape once it is attacked. Where can they flee?
The only way is to repel the ambush of the enemy. But if the opponent of the supply fleet is Co-Gong, then he definitely has a plan to make this only method unusable.
It is on the basis of these that the Ahuizotl will not underestimate the enemy. He wouldn't have said the lieutenant general's contemptuous words about the Nine Shadows. He was cautious all the way, and never dared to be careless and rash.
"General, don't scare us, the Nine Shadows Kingdom is really so terrifying, it has already captured the Six Heavens Continent. Do you see that the Six Heavens Continent is unharmed now? This shows that their strength can only dominate in the south. The young lieutenant still didn't know the depths, and still said disapprerovingly: "What's more, you and I both know that the ghost country of the Nine Shadows Country doesn't even have a treasure ship, can this sea compete with our Northern Yin Water Division?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Ahuizotl staring ahead on the way, and the smile on his face was gone when he furrowed his brow.
The lieutenant general was suspicious, and he also looked as far as the water ape could see, and saw countless broken planks and broken masts floating on the originally clean and clear sea in the rolling waves in the distance.
The flotilla moved forward, the more and more broken slabs and masts floated silently in the sea ahead. As far as the eye could see, the entire surface of the sea was filled with broken boards and broken wood, as well as a lot of tattered canvas and flags.
The fleet rode the wind and waves, and as they got closer and closer to the messy sea, the ghost soldiers and sailors saw the garbage floating on the sea more clearly. Judging by the flags floating on the sea, these broken wooden pieces were left behind by the warships and ships of the Northern Yin Dynasty. The planks have been soaked in this sea for an unknown amount of time, and they have begun to show signs of decay.
Look at this mess, these broken logs and broken boards flowing across the sea are the previous supply fleet. Only the huge supply fleet of the Northern Yin Dynasty would leave so many broken boards and broken wood floating in the sea area in front of them.
And those broken wood boards, there are many scorched marks all over them, obviously not the ship's wreck caused by a storm or a rocking. These previous supply fleets were truly ambushed.
Seeing this scene, the ghost soldiers of Xudu and the sailors of the fleet of the Beiyin Water Division were all nervous in their hearts. Every nerve in the body was tensed in the sea breeze.
Further on, they saw more and more broken slabs and broken logs, and many torn sacks floating, also drifting in the sea.
The ghost soldiers who looked up from the deck could recognize at a glance that those sacks were the sacks of the military uniform of the Xudu. They are all sacks woven from jute, and they are printed with the words "Beiyin Dynasty Liutianzhou".
"I told you, it's very windy on this sea, and you can flash your tongue. The dignified face of the water ape stared at the sea in front of him and said in a daze.
The lieutenant general beside him was too frightened to speak wildly, and looked around left and right for a long time, his eyes always full of vigilance.
He was searching, searching for any signs of enemy warships nearby.
At this moment, the sea water directly in front of the fleet was like churning boiling water, constantly bubbling with large bubbles. These blisters bulged high above the sea, but they did not dissipate.
The light of the cloudy sun shone on these large blisters, and immediately glowed with colorful light. But in the eyes of the water ape, such a scene is not beautiful at all, but a little more terrifying.
"Quick, the warship was ordered to enter combat readiness, and the entire fleet quickly left this sea area. Although he didn't know what was under the huge blisters that gathered but didn't disperse, the Ahuizotl absolutely believed that the things that appeared under the blisters were not good, so he blurted out in surprise.
At the same time, the large bubbles had already dispersed, and the sea water that made up the bubbles was scattered into large droplets, like a shower in a strong wind, falling from mid-air and crashing into the sea, and a loud sound resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Then the waves on the surface of the surrounding sea became bigger and bigger, surging and roaring in all directions.
Obviously, the wind and waves were calm on a sunny day a second ago, but now under the bright cloudy light, there are already turbulent waves.
The boats shaped like snails quickly rose from the bottom of the sea and crossed in front of the Beiyin Water Division, blocking the way of the water apes and their drunken ghosts.
It was the ambush soldiers of the Nine Shadows Country, the first hundred large wave boats under the command of the Gonggong Naval Division.
Different from the wave boat made at the beginning, the wave boat in the Nine Shadows Country is now getting bigger and bigger, and it is dozens of zhang long. And there are many iron wraps on the hull, which makes the defense of the entire ship of the wave boat improved.
The Nine Shadows Country that has just surfaced has been reduced to a wave boat, and there is still continuous flowing water on the hull. And on the top of each boat, more than a dozen round covers side by side have been opened.
These metal domes, which were originally embedded in the roof of the ship and shimmered in the cloudy light, slowly erected, and soon rose straight to ninety degrees, pointing straight to the sky.
Such a strange sight, as well as those waves of the Nine Shadows Country, made the water apes and their drunken ghost soldiers and sailors stunned together, staring blankly at the open round cover and not moving.
In the blink of an eye, they heard the fully erected round edges, and a sharp sound broke through the air from the black holes that were exposed one by one on the top of the ship.
Almost at the same time, the eyes of the apes were filled with a scorching fire. In the dark round hole, dazzling firelight rose into the sky.
The red cannonballs, along with this dazzling red light, quickly rose into the air under the gaze of the water apes and the ghost soldiers of the drunken capital, and instantly rose into the air, competing with the cloudy sun in the air.
The rapidly rising Dao Flames and hundreds of crimson cannonballs were none other than the Falling Star Cannon of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
At this moment, Ahuizotl and his subordinates seemed to see dazzling stars leaping into the air from the sea.
Stunned, they actually forgot the order given by the Ahuizotl a second before to get the fleet out of this place quickly. His eyes moved with the rising cannonballs, and he couldn't help but slowly raise his head.
When they raised their heads so that they could no longer raise them, the cannonballs that whistled and roared in the air suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, cutting through arcs and shooting towards the side of the fleet.
Like a rain of fire, like a cannonball like a meteor falling to the ground, it is coming with a heat wave and a hot wind, and it is coming in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the cannonballs that were getting closer and closer in front of him, the water ape shouted desperately and urgently a second before the cannonballs fell: "Shelling, quickly dodge!"
But by the time he had said the last word, the shells had already landed in his fleet one after another.
Flames erupted from the deck, and explosions unleashed burning pieces of wood and broken boards, as well as screams one after another. The decks of dozens of warships at the front were all riddled with holes in an instant.
The loud noise soon drowned out the remnants of the Ahuizotl's shouting.
In the midst of the flames and smoke, the tall mast hit by the shell broke off and fell forward. smashed the ghost soldiers who had no time to escape, and when they broke their heads and bones, they shattered the deck of the ship.
Other shells missed and fell into the sea by grazing the side of the ship. The high column of water immediately stirred up, and the shrapnel from the explosion pierced the ship's side. The sea water then rushed up and poured into the cabin.
The hull swayed violently, and the screams of the ship were filled with flames rising on the deck, and thick flues rose to obscure the sky. Before the frightened Xudu army could react, the Nine Shadows Kingdom Falling Wave Boat not far ahead opened fire on them again.
The dense cannonballs came again, and the surviving ghost soldiers who got up from the smoke looked at the closer and closer cannonballs, their eyes trembling with terror.
They wanted to get out of the area as soon as possible, but the rain of shells was just around the corner. They are destined to be unable to leave.
