On the vast sea, a warship without a flag is speeding towards the Pearl Island. [To read the latest chapters of this book, please search for 800]
On the bow deck, He Wuxian stood proudly in the wind, looking ahead, looking happy and relaxed.
Below the cabin and on both sides of the ship, there were pirates working with their heads bored, and occasionally when they looked up at He Wuxian, their eyes were full of fear and awe.
There is no doubt that this pirate warship, which originally belonged to the Bloodflame Gang, was captured and requisitioned by He Wuxie.
The previous ironclad warship of the Xingye City Sailor Battalion had been completely destroyed, and it didn't take long for it to sink into the sea.
Fortunately, before the shipwreck, the captain and a dozen surviving soldiers and sailors transferred all the supplies to the pirate ship.
The more than 30 pirates who surrendered were not killed by He Wuxian, and stayed on the ship to work, and they were also prisoners.
He Wuxian doesn't hate killing, after all, killing people or killing monsters is a means for him to gain experience points.
But he was not a murderer, and when the pirates surrendered, he stopped killing.
Today, the pirates are working hard, and the ship is able to move at full speed and soon reach the Pearl Island.
On the thick mast of the ship stood a sea-blue bird, called the Blue Devil, which is said to be very spiritual.
The pirates of the Bloodflame Gang rely on this kind of flying bird called the Blue Devil to search for target ships in the vast sea, encircle and intercept them.
The Blue Devils were raised by pirates, and they usually fly hundreds of feet in the air to help the pirates find out the situation.
This method is somewhat similar to that of Xiaoqinglong, but in comparison, it is obviously Xiaoqinglong who is more powerful.
After all, Xiao Qinglong can fly into the sky and enter the sea, can fly thousands of feet in the air, and can cross a long distance, and directly communicate with He Wuxi.
These are all impossible for the Blue Devil to do, so He Wuxian has no interest in this kind of flying bird, with the little green dragon here, it is much stronger than tens of thousands of Blue Devils.
Not long after, Xiao Qinglong sent a message, telling him that there was no hatred, and there was Pearl Island right in front of him.
Sure enough, after the warship sailed for another quarter of an hour, He Wuxian saw the appearance of the Pearl Island from a distance.
Pearl Island is very large, the area is equivalent to a province of Qingyuan Kingdom, equivalent to the size of ten 'jade' capitals, even if it lives tens of millions of people, it is still very rich.
Moreover, there are several smaller islands dotted around the Pearl Island, which surround the Pearl Island in the middle like the stars and the moon.
Pearl Island has always been a heavenly kingdom on earth with abundant products and a warm climate, and it is a resort coveted by countless forces.
Because it is located in the deep sea, Pearl Island is rich in pearls, fish, shrimp and crabs and other aquatic products, and there are many rare metal veins on the island. txt novel download
And because the island has a warm climate and four seasons like 'spring', all kinds of crops and fruit trees are very high-yielding.
Pearl Island has always been like the granary of Qingyuan Kingdom, the land of fish and rice, and a treasure trove.
However, the beautiful and rich Pearl Island is now shrouded in war.
Dozens of miles away, He Wuxian could clearly see that on the huge and wide Pearl Island, thick smoke and fire were rising.
There is no doubt that the war on the Pearl Island has entered a white heat, and now is the most 'fierce' moment of the battle between the two armies.
The closer you get to the Pearl Island, the more ships are cruising around.
Fortunately, there is a little green dragon in the sky to guide the way, why not hate can predict in advance, where there is a sailor of the Tianfeng Empire, so that the captain can make a detour in advance.
After all, there were only a few dozen people on this warship, and more than thirty of them were pirates who could defect at any time.
Once you encounter the regular army of the Heavenly Wind Empire, let alone a few warships, even if it is just one warship, I am afraid it will be very dangerous.
For the sake of insurance, He Wuxian released Hai Dongqing in advance and summoned his grandfather He Yaotian.
This Hai Dongqing is the communication tool of the Xingye City Sailor Battalion, and in the vast East China Sea, only this kind of flying bird that is good at flying and channeling 'sex' is the best communication tool.
Compared with carrier pigeons, Hai Dongqing's strength and physique are more powerful, not afraid of the invasion of storms and waves, and can always deliver the news on time.
As the distance from Pearl Island was getting closer and closer, He Wuxian ordered the warship to slow down, observing the situation while waiting for the old man's instructions.
Not long after, Hai Dongqing flew back and landed on He Wuxian's arm.
Tied to its 'leg' is a small brass tube the size of a thumb, which contains a rolled-up note.
After He Wuxian opened the note, he took a look at it and knew his grandfather's arrangement.
The naval army of the Tianfeng Empire all landed from the north of Pearl Island by warship.
To the north of Pearl Island is an endless stretch of flat sandy beaches, which is very conducive to the attack of the Tianfeng Empire's army.
The five hundred warships of the Tianfeng Empire all gathered on the Sunshine Coast in the north of Pearl Island, where they set up a large camp and were extremely well defended.
The sailor battalion of Qingyuan Country is located to the west of Pearl Island.
To the west of Pearl Island is a peach 'flower' mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles, and the mountain near the coast is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The camp of the Qingyuan National Naval Division is stationed at the foot of the Peach 'Flower' Mountain, although the water area is not wide, but it is enough for hundreds of warships to gallop, and this is a deep sea area, not afraid of warships running aground.
The camp is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, with the East China Sea in front and the avenue carved out in the peach 'flower' mountain to the north, leading to the pearl city in the hinterland of the pearl island.
Seven days ago, He Yaotian led 20,000 'elite' soldiers of the black-armored battalion, who took 200 ironclad warships and sailed into the naval camp to enter the Pearl Island to participate in the battle.
He Yaotian sent the news to He Wuxian, and asked him to enter the Navy Division camp as much as possible, where He Feng was waiting and would discuss the military mission with him.
After receiving the order, He Wuxian no longer hesitated, and ordered the captain to drive at full speed and go straight to the sailor's camp.
This warship, which did not fly the flag, of course, attracted the attention and vigilance of the naval battalion.
Soon, two warships sailed over, and He Wuxian ordered the captain to make 'dealings' and report his identity before he was allowed to sail into the naval camp.
Hundreds of warships were parked in the camp, lined up on both sides of the harbor, and tens of thousands of sailors were stationed here.
After He Wuxian and the others entered the harbor, the warship was 'handed over' to the Pearl Island Naval Division, and the more than 30 pirates who were put on it also became prisoners of the Naval Division.
There was a hundred-zhang long water bridge in front of the 'gate' of the big camp, and He Feng and several generals of the sailor battalion were already kneeling.
He Wuxian took Mu Zichen and Tang Bao, and the three of them jumped off the warship, and surrounded by He Feng and others, they entered the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp.
Subsequently, everyone sat down in the big tent of the Chinese army, and He Feng also quickly reported the current battle situation on Pearl Island to He Wuxian.
He Feng told for half an hour, during which he also demonstrated to He Wuxian on the sand table, and finally told He Wuxian in detail about all the circumstances.
So far, the 'engagement' between the armies of the two countries is still in a state of stalemate, the battle situation is very uncertain, and the outcome is not yet known.
The northern part of Pearl Island has fallen, and the Sunshine Coast and the northern plains have been captured by the Tianfeng Empire.
And the eastern part of Pearl Island, the three-hundred-mile area between the Peach 'Flower' Mountains and Pearl Island, is still under the control of the Qing Yuan Army.
At present, the battlefield of the armies of the two countries is around Pearl City, and both sides are fighting for Pearl City.
The army of the Tianfeng Empire attacked Pearl City from the north, and the army of the Qingyuan Kingdom 'advanced' into Pearl Island from the east, and 'pressed' to drive the army of the Tianfeng Empire away step by step.
And Pearl City has long closed the city 'gate', and the whole city has been preparing for martial law for a month, and no one can enter.
General Mu Tianyu led the surviving 20,000 soldiers to defend the last position in Pearl City.
And He Yaotian's plan and goal at this stage is to clear the enemy forces around Pearl City, and then enter Pearl City with a large army to rescue Mu Tianyu who was besieged.
The next goal is to launch a counterattack with the whole army, attack the northern part of Pearl Island, and drive all the troops of the Tianfeng Empire out of Pearl Island, or wipe them out.
He Yaotian is not in the Sailor Camp now, he led 20,000 'elite' soldiers of the Black Armor Battalion, stationed in Hulu Valley, fifty miles east of Pearl City, fighting every day.
After learning this information, He Wuxian frowned, and asked He Feng suspiciously, "Why do we have to attack the enemy forces around Pearl City first?"
"Since the army of Long Jiu is stationed in the northern plains of Pearl Island and the Sunshine Coast, why don't we come to the bottom of the kettle to 'draw' salaries?
"The army of 60,000 Heavenly Wind Empire is stationed in the Northern Plains, and every day they consume a huge amount of grain, grass and fresh water materials, and these materials need to be transported from the territory of the Heavenly Wind Empire to the Sunshine Coast by warship. As long as we can break through the naval battalion on the Sunshine Coast, the Dragon Nine Army will lose the supply of food and grass materials, and it will definitely not be able to hold out for long on the island, and it will be defeated in a month at most!"
It makes sense for everyone to know that the most critical thing in war is food and grass materials.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses arrive, the grain and grass go first, and with a sufficient supply of grain and grass, the army can fight without worry.
On the other hand, once the supply of food and grass is cut off, the army that has lost its supplies, and does not even need to attack, will be defeated because there is no material supply.
Hearing He Wuxian's words, He Feng couldn't help but 'show' a wry smile, shook his head and said, "Young Master, we can think of this method, and of course the Dragon Nine Army can also think of it." ”
"Long Jiu is one of the three great generals of the Heavenly Wind Empire, and of course he is extremely aware of the importance of grain and grass, so the camps on the Sunshine Coast and the Northern Plains are heavily guarded. ”
"Let's just say that the sailor camp on the Sunshine Coast is guarded by nearly 30,000 troops, of which there are at least 300 strong martial artists, who can get close to them?"
"We have tried many ways before, and we have sent a hundred warships to attack, but we have not been able to escape any good. We have even considered fire attacks, or night attacks, poisoning, and so on. ”
However, none of these methods worked, and they were all cracked by the enemy. In desperation, we could only give up attacking the sailor battalion, and we had to fight steadily and attack the camp step by step on the island. ”
After listening to He Feng's words, He Wuxian knew that his grandfather had already tried these methods.
However, he was still confident in this, and decided to give it a try: "He Feng, don't be discouraged, I think I may have a way." Even if I can't break through the enemy's sailor battalion, at least I can create a lot of 'chaos' and 'chaos' for them. ”
"Just wait and see!"
