Section 3: Calculate and earn grain ships, and plot to defend Jiajia Island
Three transport ships, laden with grain and grass, sailed quietly in the silent night sea. Around the three volume ships, there are naturally escort warships.
The sergeants on these frigates were even more elite than the fleet commanded by Sonan.
As the saying goes: "Before the army moves, the grain and grass go first." ”
There is also "the battle of the military array, the most absolute is the lack of food." ”
It can be seen that the efficiency and smoothness of grain and grass supply play a major role in warfare.
Therefore, the major forces attach great importance to grain and grass, which is naturally extraordinary. Sending a more elite fleet to secure supply routes was also a common occurrence in the civil war in the Isles of Stars.
The fairy sac cannot be loaded with grain and grass. The fairy sac is specially made to carry demon beasts, demon plants, and demon soldiers.
Of course, there are demon soldiers loaded with grain and grass.
For example, Sima Zhong on the list of strange people today has a superb demon soldier cloth bag, loaded with seeds of exotic flowers and plants. Therefore, the title of the demon is "the cloth of the world". His bag can hold grain and grass, and the capacity is also large, which can be used by thousands of people for about a week.
However, his cloth bag is dozens of times the size of the fairy sac, like a sack, and he usually has to carry it on his body. Since the spaces cannot be stacked on top of each other, this demon soldier cloth bag cannot be stored in the immortal bag.
The idea that "soldiers carry bags around their waists and load large quantities of grain and grass" has been proven by a long history to be unrealistic.
After a long evolution, the transport ship has become a mature and cost-effective means of transport.
Most of these demon soldiers are small demon levels, but there is a lot of space in the cabin, which can store a large amount of grain and grass. If it is a transport ship of the Great Demon level, the loading capacity is even greater. As for the transport ships of the spirit demon level, there are almost non-existent. No one is going to invest in a transport ship and turn it into a goblin.
Guarding the convoy was a young general. Surname, name Long Tao.
Although Weijiadao is dominated by the surname Wei, there are still a large number of people with different surnames.
Dian Longtao.
It's a good name.
Dragons, among the demon beasts, are often strong in quality, and their combat power exceeds that of demon beasts of the same level. Like a dragon, churning the waves, this name pins the high hopes of the elders on him.
Dian Longtao had thick eyebrows and big ears, wearing the armor of the little demon level, and was sitting on the deck at this time, wiping the big demon steel gun in his hand.
The night sea is windy and air-conditioned. But it couldn't extinguish the blood that was gradually boiling in his body.
It was his first official expedition. Although he is only a grain transport officer, it is enough to arouse his yearning for war.
These are troubled times.
Good men all want to go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions.
"I really want to follow General Suo Nan and go into battle to kill the enemy together!" he sighed deeply, and scolded these allies again, "These people are all eating dry food, and the alliance is very good, but after so long, they have not joined forces to kill Shujia Island!"
At this time, he still did not understand the essence of this war.
This is a conflict of interests, to suppress the development momentum of Shujia Island, if Shujia Island can be destroyed, it is better.
But among the 14 families, no one is willing to be this budding bird and gnaw on the hard bones of Shujia Island. Whoever comes out first will lose the most, and when the time comes, it will be cheaper for others.
The heads of the major forces, no one is a fool. Therefore, they procrastinate everywhere and refuse to join forces. Once the troops are united, everyone is in full view, and then it is difficult to find a reason to shirk.
"Report! There is a fleet of my family in front of us, it seems that it is a great victory, and a treasure ship has been captured!" At this time, a lookout handed down a message.
"Really?" Dian Longtao suddenly stood up, his expression excited, "Treasure ship, it's a large ship, it can carry thousands of people. My three ordinary warships together are only more than 1,000 people. It's a big win!"
Immediately afterwards, he frowned and ordered: "The whole army is on alert, communicate with the other party, and stop moving forward." Send a dinghy and go up to confirm. ”
It wasn't that he noticed anything unusual, but that he went out for the first time, and remembered his father's words before leaving: "Be careful, be cautious, be cautious!".
Soon, his subordinates reported and saw General Suo Nan with their own eyes. Indeed, it was a great victory for their own side.
Dian Longtao looked at it again, and saw Suo Nan standing on the bow of the treasure ship with his head held high, looking at him condescendingly. Immediately no longer doubted, his heart was wide, and he saluted: "Long Tao, the grain transport official, meet the general!"
"Well, come up and speak. General Suo Nan said coldly. At this time, the ships of both sides were extremely close.
Dian Longtao did not doubt him, and with a kick on his feet, he got on the treasure ship. Take a closer look and let go of the last doubt in your heart, there is no doubt that it is indeed General Suo Nan.
"This treasure ship, could it be the Shu family's one?" he stared at the treasure ship with eager eyes.
"What do you think?" said General Suo Nan, who asked rhetorically.
Dian Longtao said in an envious and excited tone: "The general has made a great contribution this time, and the island owner must be rewarded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly shook violently, and his pupils shrank to the size of a pinpoint. Covering his throat with his hands, there was a pain that had never been worse than ever before!
"Suo, Suo Nan General?!" he looked at General Suo Nan in disbelief, never knowing that the other party would suddenly strike and cut his throat with a dagger.
Strands of blood spilled from between his fingers, Dian Longtao staggered back a few steps, and finally gave up and fell to the ground with a thud.
Blood flowed freely down the deck.
Soon, he died.
Staring at the big balls, he couldn't bat at death.
The steel spear of the big demon level was left on the ship by him. The little demon armor he was wearing didn't even have time to open the Guardian Dao Method.
Demon Masters are powerful, but they are also extremely vulnerable. Once the Demon Master is killed, no matter how powerful the demon spirit is, it will become a free demon in the first place. Although Dian Longtao was cautious, he was limited to his vision after all, and he was poisoned.
"General Dian!" the strange situation on the deck was quickly noticed, and there was a cry of surprise.
However, Chu Yun's side did not intend to hide it. The "Suo Nan" general took advantage of this opportunity and shouted condescendingly: "This general has abandoned the darkness and defected to Shujia Island. Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who disobey will not be killed!"
The transport ships and frigates were in chaos, their own generals were killed, the dragons were leaderless, and they had no ideas for a while.
"He must be an impostor, everyone kill, avenge General Dian!" In the end, it is an elite army, and there are many soldiers in the army, and they are agitated. Soon a force was formed and rushed towards Chu Yun's side.
A contact battle broke out suddenly, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.
Chu Yun led more than 10 bronze bell elite soldiers, as well as more than 20 scholars, who had been waiting for a long time, and suddenly appeared and collided with the opponent's pawns.
He urged the Snow Tooth Dao Method, and the drunken snow knife was as big as a door panel, waving left and right, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, unstoppable. The other party's pawns only have one or two little demons at most, and most of them are ordinary people, where will they be their opponents?
Because Dian Longtao was attacked and killed, and the "Suo Nan General" suppressed it, the morale of the other party dropped greatly. This battle ended quickly. Chu Yun eliminated the diehards in the army and captured more than 200 people.
Three transports, three frigates were all captured by it. Since then, his subordinates have owned a large treasure ship, 9 ordinary warships, and 3 grain ships. Select a part of the captives, led by the Shu family soldiers, to form an army of 400 people.
He didn't dare to use all the surrendered prisoners, the Shu family had few soldiers, and if he turned against him on the battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable. On such a scale, it is the limit, and there is no need to worry about mutiny.
"This suspicious plan can go so smoothly. It also thanks to Brother Shi!" In the treasure ship, in the temporarily opened up battle conference room, Chu Yun gathered a group of people. praised Jin Bihan first.
Originally, Chu Yun planned to attack, but Jin Bihan suddenly stood up and put forward a suspicious plan. Saying that he has the means, he can be disguised.
Her golden cicada clothes are the treasures of Dunhuang Town. has a peerless camouflage method, and he has transformed into a Suo Nan general, and even the captives full of prisoners can't see the flaws in his image alone.
Chu Yun was immediately overjoyed and asked Jin Bihan to disguise himself as Suo Nan's general. This is the battle of planning to earn Dian Longtao and capture the grain ship.
After complimenting him, Chu Yun immediately appointed himself as a general, leading the Bronze Bell elite soldiers and the hundred-man team alone. Ren Yanque is a deputy general, leading 100 people. He also worshiped Jin Bihan as a military advisor. Then two outstanding scholars were selected to serve as centurions, each leading a hundred.
Since then, the army in his hands has been successfully built, and it is a little more like it.
As for the others, Chu Yun didn't miss it, they all praised and appeased. He also allocated some of the seized booty on the spot. In the grain ship, there are naturally a large number of pills. These are all grains and grasses to be fed to demon beasts, and there are also fine products. Chu Yun had nothing to look up to, so he took out these high-quality pills and distributed them.
For a while, everyone was excited and their morale was high.
The loot is only secondary, the key is that it is the first time they have experienced such a scene as war, and in the past, it was a small fight mainly for individuals in the academy. Another two consecutive wins have established a lot of confidence.
Many people looked at Chu Yun with the brilliance of the stars. I feel that following behind Chu Yun is really promising and bright.
Chu Yun also had little experience in leading troops in his previous life, although he was a lone ranger most of the time, he also learned a lot of things in the academy. After two small battles, he is the one who grows the fastest.
Glancing at everyone, Chu Yun nodded secretly, feeling that the military heart was available. Immediately said: "Two consecutive victories have caused Weijiadao to lose a fleet and two generals, which can be regarded as a broken nerve." However, Weijiadao is a second-rate force, and it still has the spare strength to continue to send fleets to force Shujiadao. It's better to keep doing nothing, take advantage of Weijiadao's lack of reaction, and capture Weijiadao!"
