Three hundred miles south of Meteorite Island.

Thousands of warships came in a mighty way.

On one of the ships, a man in silver-white armor and a crimson cloak stood on the side of the ship looking out over the endless sea.

This person is Zhang Jihai, the spirit prince of the Giant Spirit Dynasty.

Zhang Jihai looked at the vast sea, and his eyes flashed with a sarcastic smile.

"Grandpa Guo, the scout ship came to report that the big glass trap bird was found two hundred miles away!" A general came to his side to report.

"Trap Bird!" Zhang Jihai's heavy eyebrows raised slightly, and said disdainfully: "That's Dali's trick?" ”

"That's right, Dali is famous for their tricks in the surrounding seas, and they can not only create trap birds that can fly in the sky, but also trap beasts that can dive into the sea!" The general replied.

Zhang Jihai just nodded, not caring about this.

In his eyes, birds and beasts are just children's toys.

Perhaps both Trap Birds and Trap Beasts are of good use, but in battle, Trap Birds and Trap Beasts simply can't form much combat power.

This is a fact, although the trap beasts created by the public defeat and revenge can participate in the battle, they can only bully ordinary martial artists, and facing the martial artists above the innate level is simply chicken ribs.

It's not that the Trap Beast isn't strong enough, it's that the materials used to make the Trap Beast aren't hard enough.

The Innate Warrior has the ability to cut through ordinary steel, and the Trap Beast whose main body is made of wood or ordinary steel cannot resist the attack of the Innate Warrior at all.

If a stronger material is used to make a trap beast, the cost will increase by dozens of times, and such a cost cannot be afforded even by large glass.

Therefore, at present, the application of large glass to the mechanism beast is mostly in the civilian aspect, and the military is mainly based on the detection of the mechanism bird, or supplemented by the sneak attack of the giant scorpion.

"How far are we from the army of the Great Glass Dynasty!" Zhang Jihai asked.

"It's still unclear, according to the information we have gotten, Dali dispatched 400,000 sailors, and entered the sea area three days ago, and now the other party is on the edge of the sea area, but we still don't know their specific force layout and location!"

"But based on our speculation, we shouldn't be more than five hundred miles away from their station!" The general replied.

Zhang Jihai bowed slightly, he lifted the cloak behind him, and said: "Five hundred miles away, it won't take us two days to engage with them!" ”

"Now order the whole army to advance, we are going to take them by surprise!"

When the general heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Should we wait a little longer and wait until we figure out the specific troop arrangements of Dali before we act?" ”

In fact, he wanted to persuade Zhang Jihai not to attack rashly, after all, they had not yet received the military order from the general of Zhengbei, and to launch an attack rashly was to disobey the military order.

If this battle is won, with Zhang Jihai's status in the Giant Spirit Dynasty, there will naturally be no problem, but if there is a difference, even if Zhang Jihai is the Duke of Zhenling, it will be difficult to escape the blame.

However, Zhang Jihai glanced at him, a mocking smile appeared on Fang Zheng's face, and said: "Hou Yunrui, that old thing is afraid of fighting, should we also be afraid of fighting!" ”

"A small country, should we still be afraid?"

"Or do you think we're going to lose?"

It's not that Zhang Jihai is arrogant, but Zhang Jihai really doesn't think Dali has the strength to fight him.

Dali is a dynasty, yes, but it's just a dynasty in the Luoyu Sea.

In the eyes of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, a place like the Falling Feather Sea is a wilderness land, maybe stronger than the Spirit Wasteland, but it is not much stronger.

And a dynasty like Dali is an arrogant hillbilly to him.

A hillbilly who thinks he has a little strength and dares to challenge the might of the Giant Spirit Dynasty.

It's not just him who sees it this way, but the entire Giant Spirit Dynasty, most of the court's important ministers and nobles see it this way.

The Yuluo Dynasty is also a Hundred Star Dynasty worthy of their attention, as for the Great Glass Dynasty, the Heavenly Dome Alliance, but it is just like a group of local chickens and dogs, it is not worth mentioning.

It is precisely because of this view that Zhang Jihai will not hesitate to lead the army forward when he learns that the enemy on the opposite side is the Dali Dynasty.

He just wanted to defeat the army of the Dali Dynasty and let Hou Yunrui see how ridiculous his military orders were.

"No, the general just thinks it's better to be cautious!" The general bowed his head and said.

Zhang Jihai looked at him and said seriously: "I know what you're worried about, but we must be ahead of Hou Yunrui in this battle." Do you understand? ”

The general in front of him was his cronies, and although he was a little dissatisfied with the general's caution, he still patiently explained.

The general's expression moved slightly, and then he nodded slightly.

He understood Zhang Jihai's thoughts, and he also understood why Zhang Jihai had to get along with Hou Yunrui.

This involves the internal strife of the Djinn Dynasty.

Although the Djinn Dynasty is powerful, there are also many internal strife.

The struggle for power between Confucian cultivators and warriors, and the rivalry between nobles and ordinary generals in the army.

Zhen Linggong represents the noble class of Shi Xun, while Hou Yunrui represents the ordinary generals in the army of the Juling Dynasty who were promoted by their military exploits.

There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

At the same time, Hou Yunrui was also close to the Confucian faction, which made Zhen Linggong and other nobles even more disdainful of being in company.

"Now that you understand, go and give the order!" Zhang Jihai said.

"Whoa!"

The general could only answer helplessly.

……

At this time, on Meteorite Island, Qin Wei was discussing the next battle with the generals of various armies.

The Western Route Army led by Zhang Jihai suddenly attacked, which also disrupted Dali's plan.

According to the previous plan, the first to start the war should be the main army of the middle lane of the Hundred Star Dynasty and the Djinn Dynasty, and after the two sides start the war, Dali will enter the battlefield diagonally and directly attack Whale Shark Island.

That's right, from the very beginning, the staff of the Dali Military Aircraft Department had their eyes on Whale Shark Island.

Whale Shark Island is the headquarters of the Giant Spirit Dynasty Expeditionary Force, capture the thief first capture the king, fight the snake and hit the seven inches, strategically speaking, Whale Shark Island is undoubtedly the most important.

As long as Whale Shark Island is taken, the Djinn Dynasty's expeditionary force will be a piece of scattered sand.

At that time, the balance of victory will be completely tilted in favor of the Heavenly Dome Alliance.

But now Zhang Jihai's rash attack has disrupted the battle plan of the General Staff of the Military Aircraft Department, but the war is changing rapidly, and plans are always just plans.

The General Staff of the Military Aircraft Department did not panic because of this, but quickly developed a new strategy.

In the tent.

"Your Majesty, since they want to fight, then we will fight!"

Yuwen Chengdu stood in front of everyone and said categorically.

Qin Wei looked at him with a smile and said, "Are you ready?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, rest assured, we are ready for all battles!" Yuwen Chengdu laughed heartily.

Qin Wei nodded, "Then let's fight!" ”

"Let's start this battle first!"

He said in a low voice, with a rare solemnity on his face.

This battle must be a bloody battle, and it is the most difficult battle Dali has faced in so long.

Qin Wei had never underestimated the Giant Spirit Dynasty, nor could he underestimate the Giant Spirit Dynasty.

So from the very beginning he understood that this battle would not be easy, but he still decided to start this war, and even took the initiative to provoke this war.

Because Da Li wants to rise, and the Sky Dome Alliance wants to break the geographical restrictions, it must defeat the Giant Spirit Dynasty.

To put it simply, the Djinn Dynasty is a mountain that presses on the heads of all the forces in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of seas, and if any force wants to rise, it needs to break the pressure from the Djinn Dynasty.

This is an inevitable war, and it is also a war that Dali must experience.

"Obey the order!"

Yuwen Chengdu bowed to the order.

"Go ahead! Tell all the soldiers that I'll be watching them here! Qin Wei said lightly.

"Whoa!"

The crowd retreated, and then the camp on Meteorite Island began to function.

This battle was not a small-scale battle, but a large-scale war in which both sides committed nearly 700,000 troops.

The battlefield is no longer limited to one island and one place, but hundreds of miles of surrounding sea will be turned into a battlefield.

Therefore, this battle is not only a test for the soldiers, but also a test for the Dali military command system.

With a burst of noise, military orders were conveyed from the camp.

In the headquarters inside the camp, more than a dozen communication circles kept flashing, and on the temporary dock outside the camp, one after another fast boats kept sailing out.

In the command tent, around a sand table with a length and width of more than two zhang, more than 10 officials from the General Staff Department of the Military Aircraft Department gathered, and they were constantly analyzing every sea area and island on the sand table, and constantly learning about the movements of the enemy troops on the opposite side.

Qin Wei believes in one sentence very much, that is, professional things should be done by professional people.

So when he established the Military Aircraft Department, he formed a general staff.

From the beginning of the staff with only a few people, now the staff has more than 100 professional staff officers.

The officials of these staff departments are from the generals in the army, there are also from the Dali Guozijian and the major academies, as well as from the Dali Yanwu Pavilion, and almost all the people who can enter the staff department of the Military Aircraft Department have very professional military ability.

Not only does the military aircraft department have a staff department, but now there are special staff departments in the major naval divisions and major army corps, and even each battalion will be equipped with two or three staff officers.

The role of the staff officer is to help the commander-in-chief analyze the battle situation and formulate strategies, but the military command is still in the hands of the commander-in-chief.

However, the presence of staff officers can prevent the main general from making some mistakes that should not exist.

Therefore, Dali will have a lot of staff officers who are responsible for studying the war in every battle.

And now, the General Staff of the Military Aircraft Department is equivalent to the highest command system of Dali, and Yuwen Chengdu, as the commander of this battle, all he has to do is to take the last pass for the General Staff.

That's right, although Yuwen Chengdu is the commander, in fact, he does not need to command the specific battle, what he really has to do is to control the soldiers of all parties to follow the orders of the General Staff.

One person counts short, and everyone counts long.

Although Yuwen Chengdu also has high attainments in military affairs, no matter how high his attainments are, they are not as good as more than a dozen or even dozens of professional staff officers.

Of course, this does not mean that Yu Wencheng, the coach, is useless, on the contrary, no matter when, the coach is the highest decision-maker of the army.

War requires not only a sound command system, but also a decisive decision-maker.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and sometimes it doesn't matter what tactics the decision-maker chooses, what matters is to give orders decisively and in a timely manner.

As the military orders of the headquarters were conveyed, the 400,000 soldiers of Dali took action one after another.

Eighty miles north of Meteorite Island, on the flagship of the Beihai Division, Mao Jiang looked at the military orders from the communication array, and his expression was solemn.

"Map!"

He shouted.

Immediately, several guards moved a screen in front of the soldiers.

Mao Jiang looked at the map on the screen and said in a deep voice: "The General Staff requires us to go west to bypass the main battlefield, enter the rear of the enemy army, and cut off the enemy's rear road!" ”

All the generals in the hall looked at each other and asked, "General, why are we going to cut off the enemy's rear route, instead of the West Sea Division and the South China Sea Water Division?" ”

It is normal for them to have such questions, because the current arrangement of the four major water divisions of Dali is that the East China Sea Division is the Chinese army, and Qin Wei and the headquarters are stationed on Meteorite Island.

The West Sea Division and the South China Sea Division are the left and right armies, located on the east and west sides of Meteorite Island.

Their North Sea Division is the rear army, located in the north of Meteorite Island.

It stands to reason that it is easier for the West Sea and South China Sea naval divisions to bypass the battlefield and enter the rear of the enemy army.

"We're afraid it's going to take four days to get around!"

Mao Jiang shook his head slightly and said, "Don't forget that Your Majesty is still on Meteorite Island!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and then understood what Mao Jiang meant.

Although the East China Sea Division was a Chinese army, their more important duty was to protect Qin Wei's safety.

The West Sea and South China Sea Naval Divisions, as the left and right armies, actually still shoulder the tasks of the front army.

That is to say, once the war starts, the left and right armies will be the first to engage the enemy.

At that time, the East China Sea Division will become a rear army, guarding Qin Wei while waiting to participate in the battle as a reserve army.

In the eyes of the General Staff, Meteorite Island is the most important strategic location, and Qin Wei is the most important target to guard.

The war can be lost, but Qin Wei's safety must not be compromised.

Even if the strength around Qin Wei was enough to protect Qin Wei, the staff would still try to avoid letting the battle spread to Qin Wei's side.

"Alright, now let's talk about how we can get into the rear of the enemy army!"

Mao Jiang said.

Entering the rear of the enemy army is not just a matter of bypassing, they must choose a suitable route.

Sailing on the sea is not something that can be run around at will, there is no known safe route, and it is extremely dangerous to venture into unfamiliar waters. (End of chapter)
