The tide of the rising sea came and went, and the leaves of the trees covering the mountains were green and yellow, and another year passed in a hurry.

Against the cold wind, Wu Yan put his hands in his sleeves and walked around the edge of the city.

The city had already begun to take shape, but only the inner city had been built. Due to the huge cost, Wu Gan was ready to wait for the money to expand the foundation and build an outer city on this basis.

Preparations for the trip to Beizhou are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the Knife Grinding Gate has strengthened its infiltration into the Gumo Kingdom, and a steady stream of information has been sent to the Dreadnought Army.

Thirty-five warships, large and small, planned for the expedition, as well as three fog ghosts and five virtual whales, were all ready. Such a large battle was to be able to transport a total of 150,000 people from the five armies, including the front army, to Beizhou at one time.

Such a long-distance voyage, if it cannot be transported at one time, it will be too late to cross the sea again for reinforcements.

Entering Beizhou, no matter which country it is, it will not allow the dreadnought army to go ashore, whether this first step can gain a foothold, must go through a tragic landing battle, but also block the opponent's continuous counterattack.

Wu Gan's idea was to first forcibly drive a wedge in Beizhou, and then unite those countries that were dissatisfied with the Divine Religion to jointly counterattack the Divine Religion.

The key to this matter is to grasp the degree, not only to let Beizhou know the purpose of the Dreadnought Army, so as not to be jealous of this force, but also to control a certain territory, so that the Dreadnought Army has a foundation for development and growth, just like the current Kuntianzhou.

As for what he said, the idea of dominating the world and becoming the co-master of Beizhou also flashed in Wu Gan's mind. However, when I thought of having to fight one family at a time, not to mention whether it would succeed or not, the key was that it would take a long time, so I abandoned this idea.

He is a tired person, he is most afraid of trouble, he just wants to take Zhu Qianhua to live a small life of his wife and children on the kang in peace, and he will not jump up and bite people if he is not forced into the corner.

With such a long distance, supply has become a big problem, so Wu Gan will wait for the city to be built, and store a large amount of military baggage on it to meet the needs of the army.

During the time of waiting, the Dreadnought Army also joined other families, attacked Tianyuan Continent many times, covered their own routes, escorted other families, and waited for opportunities to attack the temples on the shore.

Wu Gan did not participate in these operations once, but was attacked by the commanders of the various armies in turn and the naval divisions. As the friction between the two sides increased, the rebound of Tian Yuanzhou became bigger and bigger, and both sides suffered losses. The biggest battle loss of the Dreadnought Army was that when Zhang Wuyang and other families jointly attacked, they were intercepted by the opponent's warship, and due to the large strength of the opponent, they could only fight and retreat.

This is not a sailor of those secular countries, but is directly subordinate to the Cult of God. The fleet was not interested in the other families, and instead clung to the dreadnoughts.

Under the war, Zhang Wuyang simply broke off in person, covered the detachment of the fleet, and broke through the border in the chaotic battle, thus becoming the third person in the commander of the five armies to successfully advance to the five realms after removing the water from the moon and the treasure elephant.

The fleet of the Divine Sect pursued it all the way to the sea of blood, and the sailor got rid of the other party. This incident also shows that the Dreadnought Army has been targeted by the Divine Cult.

Therefore, Wu Gan only wanted to have a battle with the Divine Sect Sailor before leaving, otherwise, the route from Tianyuan Continent to Beizhou would be controlled by others, and the other party would be able to continuously replenish troops from Tianyuan Continent, and his own situation in Beizhou would be difficult.

Due to the lack of cities, the shipyard of the Dreadnought Army could only start work intermittently, and it was not easy to save thirty-five warships, and there was no great chance of victory against the sailors of the Divine Sect. Therefore, Wu Gen has been hesitating to send troops. But when the city is completed, defeating the Divine Sect Sailor will become the first priority at present.

Yu Hao sent a message that the Holy Mountain sent a letter to the Ascending Heaven Palace, and the people who met in the Six Realms were not allowed to make a move, so they only let their subordinates fight for each other. Without the threat of this high-level combat power, Wu Jian had more confidence and wanted to wrestle with the Divine Sect.

Whew, Wu Gan jumped down from Lieqi City, and Zhang Wuyang hurriedly followed

"Wuyang, order the commanders of all armies to come here to discuss the matter of attacking the Divine Sect Water Division." Wu Gan commanded loudly, jumped on his horse and hurried towards Xianwan City.

Two days later, in the Governor's Mansion of Xianwan City, the generals of the Dreadnought Army gathered together to discuss the matter of crossing the sea and attacking the distance.

The military meeting was convened by Wu Gan, and it was Hu Jia who was the first to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the spy report sent by Ning Tong in front of the front, the Divine Sect currently has more than 130 ships stationed in Beizhou, stationed in three places. One of them is Beizhou Yingguo, where there are about 30 ships. The other is the opposite Hu Buhe country across the sea, with about 70 ships, and more than 30 ships near Dingyi Gate.

If our army wants to defeat the Divine Sect, it can only divide and take it, and in addition, it is necessary to gather some people from the Hulan family, the Ji family and the Shi family, otherwise our army is too thin. ”

Of course, everyone understands that it is impossible to fight against the superior forces of other people, and the key is how to divide the enemy's forces. Naval warfare is like this, a ship is the combat power of a ship, and the bravery of the soldiers is difficult to make up for the difference in numbers. Moreover, against the ships of the Cult of God, the Dreadnoughts did not have an advantage.

The last time Zhang Wuyang fought, the dreadnought army made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and dealt with the Divine Cult according to the routine of fighting the countries of Tianyuan Continent, although it was withdrawn, it was actually defeated. This also made the generals realize that the Divine Sect was worthy of leading all countries, and its direct military strength and the combat power of the countries of Tianyuan Continent were definitely much higher.

It seemed to see everyone's thoughts, Hu Jia smiled slightly, "I intend to attack this time, the troops are divided into two routes, one route is to attack from Xujing Island, although the route is far, but this road is not yet known, it is appropriate to be the main force." The other way is to be responsible for luring the enemy, luring the warships of Dingyimen to Kuntianzhou, if you can lure Hu Bu and the country's men and horses together, it is better.

If the main force can successfully annihilate the Divine Cult warships of Yingguo, they will wait for an opportunity to attack the remaining enemy ships of Hu Buhe and harass other warships. If it is unfavorable to destroy the enemy, then hurry up and return to Asahi Island to prepare for the revenge of the Divine Cult. ”

"In this way, the route of Xujing Island will be exposed." Ha Ying was a little worried.

"This route will be exposed sooner or later, with the strength of the Divine Cult, as long as we appear, we will soon find out, this is no way, the only thing to worry about is how to hold Xujing Island." Zhuo Ke raised other worries, once the Divine Cult occupied Xujing Island, there would be a base that could threaten Kuntianzhou and Beizhou, and completely lock the route of the Dreadnought Army to the south, and there was no room for loss here.

"Don't worry about Xujing Island, Captain Shui will go on the expedition, Xue Xin will take the left army to the island and be responsible for the guard, I will let the Zhun people help guard it." Wu Yan touched the Xuanju in his sleeve, his eyes staring at the silky route on the map in front of him, "Quasi-people can't get out of the ruins for too long, and they will disappear into heaven and earth after a long time, but they should be able to survive a battle." The main force is here, and each ship is equipped with one or two quasi-people to guard against the dawn of the Divine Cult. ”

"Wait, there is one more thing, Hulan and the other three families are willing to send troops, you must know that the reason why people have followed each other in the past is to go to the sea to plunder, which is profitable. But fighting this kind of tough battle is different, these three families said that they had to be willing to send troops, or only a small number of soldiers and horses. Ye Ziming suddenly stood up and asked a tricky question.

Everyone also talked about it when they heard it, although Ye Ziming was in charge of Liang Shalu, and he had also been responsible for dealing with various families, what he said was definitely not untargeted.

"You can give them some benefits, in the future, a few can use the routes of Hengmen Port at will, the dreadnought army is responsible for escorting, and Lingyu can give them some." Wu Gen frowned, ready to give some blood in exchange for the support of the three families.

"They want the Vigilantes." Ye Ziming patted the armrest, looking teasing.

"You can't give them a shuttle, but you can give them some as a bird." Wu Yan thought for a while, and finally endured the pain. The dreadnoughts were about to go to the rising sea, and when the birds could not fly such a distance, they were now in a state of weakness.

"Okay, I'll talk to them." Ye Ziming likes to see Wu Gen's helpless appearance, who let Wu Gen often rudely catch Xiao Ye Xi to play, the little guy still likes it, and even calls Wu Gen's father in a milky voice, which makes Ye Ziming's heart sour to death.

"We still have too few ships, and there are actually not many fancy naval battles, just fight with strength." Drok sighed beside him.

Everyone was silent, but there was nothing to be done. The city of Lieqi spent too much money, otherwise the sailors would have at least fifty more ships. It can be said that the construction of the Flying City has delayed the growth of the entire water division, so that now it depends on the faces of others.

For the construction of the city, there is no opposition in the army, such as Sun Hong, who is very opposed. In his opinion, in order to build such a big city, the dreadnought army, whether it is the armies or the naval divisions, and even the construction of some people's livelihoods on the five roads, have been affected, which is a huge damage to the dreadnought army as a whole, and Wu Gen is really guilty of making a rash advance.

Hu Jia strongly agreed, and his reasons were also sufficient, and the focus of the Dreadnought's final operation was Beizhou. And at present, the Divine Cult is stepping up its infiltration of the North Continent, and when the Dreadnought Army is all ready, I am afraid that it will also lose the opportunity. Although it is more difficult now, but if we concentrate our financial resources and manpower to build Feicheng and land in Beizhou as soon as possible, I am afraid that the overall loss of the Dreadnought Army will be smaller.

Wu Gan weighed it again and again, but still adopted Hu Jia's opinion. In this way, this battle with the Divine Sect Water Master seems to be a little lacking in confidence.

"Who is the leader of the Divine Cult Water Master on the other side?" Wu Gen turned his head to look at Yang Zheng, he was about to fight, and he wanted to find out the temperament of the opposing coach.

Yang Zheng smiled slightly, and leaned towards Wu Gan's side, "According to the news from Yuxi, it is our old acquaintance Ji Junlin in front of him, and Chen Zhi, the captain of the Water Division, is assisted. ”

"He." Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, this is really an old acquaintance, and it is thanks to him that he can go to Kuntianzhou, "That's good, the two roads of soldiers and horses are led by Captain Shui and me, and I am responsible for luring the enemy." With me here, it is very likely that the people of the Divine Sect will leave Hu Buhe and create an opportunity for the main force.

If Ji Junlin leads the men and horses to chase up, and the main force waits for the opportunity to move, or pursue, or send reinforcements, our army will try to annihilate this group of thieves in one fell swoop. ”

"The owner of the village, this appetite is a little big." Xue Xin was a little worried, his own more than thirty ships, plus the other three families, could reach almost a hundred ships, and he had to divide his troops into two routes, how could he take down the Divine Sect.

Wu Yan bit his lip tightly and sighed, "The Divine Sect has more than a hundred ships in front of Beizhou, and if we add ships from other directions, our army can't afford to spend it." If I can annihilate my opponent in one fell swoop, in a period of time, I will be able to master the sea near Beizhou, and create a good opportunity for my army to land. After all, even if the Divine Cult can recruit ships from all over the world, mature sailors cannot be made in a day or two. ”

Xue Xin thought for a while and proposed, "If this is the case, our army must use all the methods that can hurt the enemy, and we also need to remind the enclaves such as Yingke Island and Xujing Island that we must be prepared for the opponent's counterattack after our army is unfavorable." ”

Wu Yan nodded and responded, thinking about defeat before the battle, Fang Wei was the way to go, "Everyone, whether this battle is successful or not determines whether you and I can set foot on Beizhou as soon as possible, we must deal with it carefully, and go back to prepare." ”

As Wu Yan made up his mind, everyone also left Xianwan City with a solemn expression, and prepared soldiers, horses and grain separately.

At night, Wu Yan stood alone on the second floor in his private house, looking at the stars in the south in a daze.

After a while, there was a knock on the courtyard door, Gao Han opened the door, but the person who came was Shui Congyue, who quickly took him to the second floor, put tea again, and gently closed the door and left.

"Why are you in such a hurry to attack the Divine Sect Sailors, you should know that our army is not yet fully prepared." Shui Congyue did not move the tea in front of him, raised his sword eyebrows, and looked directly at Wu Gan.

"Alas, I always have a bad feeling, as if something is going to happen, so I want to return to Beizhou as soon as possible." Wu Yan sighed and took out two pots of wine.

Shui Congyue didn't make a sound, and it is said that for such a reason, he will plunge hundreds of thousands of troops into an unknown situation, which can be described as a bit of child's play. But he didn't ask again, just said indifferently, "Then send troops." ”

"It's good to go back early, I think of Chu Ji, I want Zhu Qian to paint, and I also want to think about Mo Xin, Wu Lone, and Zhang Yuan." Wu Yan took a sip of wine and looked at the night sky.

Shui Congyue glanced at Wu Qian, sighed, his eyes softened, and raised a pot to the starry sky to drink.

There is no moon tonight, the frost stars are sorrowful, and there is only one way to look home.
