Chapter 184: Turning Point

Cao Du, who was in Mizhou, soon received the news that a Frost Continent fleet had sailed away from Duzhou.

He immediately realized that the opponent he needed to face this time was different from that encountered in Michigan, and he was afraid that it would bring great trouble to his side.

Shuangzhou has a great advantage over the Qingyang Military Government, that is, they have the skill of dense boxes, they can carry Xuan soldiers to stay in the wasteland for a long time, and the Qingyang fleet is currently difficult to do this.

This meant that as long as the fleet went a little farther, it would be impossible for them to encircle and annihilate it in the field.

Moreover, when they attack Duzhou, they are bound to allocate a part of their forces to prevent the surprise attack of this generation.

He thought about it for a while, and then called all the military academies and counselors to discuss how to solve the matter.

Captain Zhan, who was in charge of the northern route, said solemnly: "General, we must not let such a fleet be outside, we must find a way to defeat them!"

If we leave them alone, then they can raid our back routes, or attack our carriers, or even attack Mizhou, which we have just captured, and we will be very passive. ”

Cao Du nodded, he looked at everyone, and said, "If you have any opinions, you might as well talk about them." ”

One of the counselors suggested, "General, in the current situation, we can only pin our hopes on those Xuanfu monks. These monks possess great personal strength, can cruise for long periods of time, and can attack thousands of miles away, but they are just right enough to intercept this fleet. ”

A military academy said: "But according to my observation, even among these cultivators, there are only a dozen people with such ability, and the Frost Continent fleet has nearly two thousand numbers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to intercept this fleet, right?"

The counselor didn't think so: "Although their numbers are small, the threat they pose is real, and we need to pay great attention to this fleet, which is far weaker than ours, and how can the Frost Continent fleet not be the same when facing these cultivators?"

The middle-aged counselor thought for a moment and said seriously: "General, this matter can only be left to those Xuanfu monks, we may be able to set up a communication post on the outermost periphery, and then ask those true cultivators of the Spiritual Xuanyuan Realm to help us keep an eye on the enemy's tracks, so that we can be most prepared for surprise attacks." ”

Cao Du did not immediately draw conclusions, but asked everyone's opinions one by one, and saw that everyone supported this proposal, and he himself was inclined to this, so he said: "I will try to send a letter to Zhang Xuanzheng and ask him to help contain the Frost Continent fleet, but we must also make our own preparations." ”

After Zhang Yu sent Shi Yue out, he himself had been sitting at the front of the military base, because Mangguang's transmission was extremely fast, and the military government's movements were not slow, so only one night later, he received a Xunguang translation from Cao Du from the rear.

After reading it, he put the translation away.

He looked into the distance, and it was not an easy task to deal with a fleet of nearly two thousand flying ships, but it was not as difficult as everyone thought.

From the previous battles, it can be seen that the side of Frost Continent has almost no strength to counterattack them from thousands of miles away, and the fleet speed is not as fast as theirs, which means that he can lead the monks to hang this fleet from afar, and can launch an attack anytime and anywhere.

If the other side has a large number of artifacts and the ground support of the local military base, then it will not be so easy for them to do so.

However, since this fleet has broken away from Duzhou, it has lost these covers, and they can calmly attack.

It's just that he also thought that Duzhou should also know all kinds of disadvantages when fighting with the monks, so if they dare to pull the fleet out like this, then they should also rely on it a little, but as long as they act cautiously and do not seek radicalism, they believe that there will be no problem.

After thinking about it, he immediately called all the Xuanhe monks, and after a few words, he led everyone into the air, and followed the clues left by Shi Yue and others to chase in the direction where the Frost Continent fleet was located.

Almost a day after they left, Cao Du led the fleet to the forward fortress and began the final adjustments before the attack.

After learning that Zhang Yu had led the crowd to chase after him as early as yesterday, he was also a little relieved.

Not to mention the annihilation of this fleet, as long as this fleet cannot play the role it should have, then there will be no suspense in this battle.

And the monks of the Spiritual Mystery Realm such as Yu Fu were also invited by the military government this time to disperse their manpower and sit in all directions to guard against the possible surprise attack of the Frost Continent fleet.

Chu Daoren was arranged due south this time, and that night he was sitting cross-legged in the tent, and when he was sitting with his eyes closed, he noticed a trace of abnormality.

He opened his eyes and saw a vain Yuan Shen standing there, bowed to him, and said, "Chu Daoyou." ”

Chu Daoren stood up, returned the salute, and said, "Gongsun Daoyou, but what's the matter?"

Gongsun said: "Chu Daoyou, I'm here to ask, why haven't you done it here for a long time?"

Chu Daodao: "I was about to tell Gongsun Daoyou that because of the current war, we have set the date of the war in a month, Gongsun Daoyou, please wait a while, I don't think it will be a few days, right?"

Gongsun said: "It's okay to wait for a few days, but if you see an opportunity, you shouldn't miss it." ”

Chu Daoren was surprised: "Where is the opportunity?"

Gongsun said: "Yesterday, when I looked outside, I saw those Xuanxiu wandering into the distance, chasing those frost continent flying boats, as if that Zhang Xuanzheng was also among them. This man is bound to fight the Frost Continent Flying Boats in the future. ”

He smiled, "There are more than a thousand warships, and the Xuan soldiers are also raining down, if there is an accident in such a situation, it is reasonable to think about it, right?"

Chu Daoren thought for a while and said cautiously: "Since my junior brother has already agreed to fight with him, why should Daoist friends do more?"

Gongsun said: "But if you can gain something in the war, why postpone it? If it can't be done, then it's not too late to pin on the next battle." ”

Chu Daoren frowned and said: "But in addition to himself, this person has a lot of Xuan cultivation support around him, and what Daoist friends ask for is really too difficult." ”

Gongsun said leisurely: "It's not difficult to say, the people of Shuangzhou are happy to see such an opportunity, and we can take advantage of it a little." ”

Chu Daoren immediately understood what Gongsun Miao meant, he looked at the latter, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Gongsun Daoyou, I am hostile to the people of Shuangzhou, please forgive someone Chu for not being able to do such things." ”

Gongsun Meng glanced at him a few times, suddenly smiled, and said, "Since Chu Daoyou is unwilling, then it's okay." After speaking, he made a fool, and his figure disappeared.

Chu Daoren looked at the dark night and shook his head, he felt that Gongsun Miao might not give up as easily as he said, but as long as he didn't involve himself, what Gongsun Miao did had nothing to do with him.

On the wasteland, Zhang Yu led everyone to catch up with Shi Yue and the others after flying in the northwest direction for a day, and at the same time saw the rear team of the Frost Continent fleet.

He inquired about the situation, and Shi Yue said: "Xuanzheng, I have been keeping an eye on this fleet, there has never been a scatter among them, all the flying boats that left Duzhou are here, although they will also send creations to intercept us from time to time, but the threat to us is not great." ”

Zhang Yu observed for a while and said, "Fellow Daoist, you take a few fellow Daoists to try to attack once first, and see what this fleet relies on." ”

Shi Yue nodded in response.

In a few moments, several golden rays of light pierced through the heavy clouds and shot away in front of them.

In the main boat of the Frost Continent fleet, Qi Li has been sitting in the main cabin since he left Duzhou. The main thing he did was to emphasize over and over again that there was a way to win this victory, and asked the Sima and the guards everywhere to appease the morale of the troops below.

Originally, a large number of communication posts were arranged on the wasteland to facilitate the movement of the fleet, but in fact, he originally wanted to disperse the fleet and then gather in one place at the agreed place.

He could have done this with these communication posts, but he didn't dare to do so now, for he was afraid that once the fleet was dispersed, it would be difficult to gather in one place, and in the end it would only be broken by people and fall into chaos.

So he could only forcibly pinch the fleet, but it looked more bloated in this way, and in order to maintain a whole, he had to take into account those carrying flying boats, and the speed could not be fast.

The deputy came over at this time and said, "General, those monks have begun to attack us, and only then have several flying boats that were responsible for guarding the rear have been destroyed. ”

Qi Li said calmly: "Sooner or later, fortunately, they are few in number, as long as we keep a certain distance and keep using Xuan soldiers to deal with them, with the number of our flying boats, it is enough to stalemate with them for a long time." ”

Cong Deputy worried: "But we can only be beaten, but we can't fight back, this is too much of a blow to the morale of the army, and my subordinates are worried that if this continues, this fleet may be difficult to bear." ”

Qi Li said in a deep voice: "You go and tell all the guards of the detachment, as I said before, there will be a turnaround, and it won't be long before it appears, you tell them that the existence of the Frost Continent lies in this battle, and the key to this battle lies in us, and they must hold on!"

In the next three days, the monks continued to attack this fleet, although the Frost Continent side continued to send sub-fleets and creations to be responsible for intercepting and escorting them, but it did not have much effect, and no less than 300 flying boats were destroyed before and after, and the losses were extremely heavy.

It was only under Qi Li's best efforts to pacify and maintain that the fleet could be maintained without collapsing.

And after entering the fourth day, a huge gust of wind and sand suddenly rolled up on the wasteland, and in just a dozen breaths, the sky was covered by sand and dust, and the whole wilderness was plunged into darkness.

Qi Liben had not rested for a few days, only occasionally pretending to sleep, and at this time, he suddenly opened his eyes, the light in his eyes was unprecedentedly bright, and said loudly: "Order all fleets, turn to the southwest!"

He stood up at once, turned around, looked at all the counselors and marching horses in the main cabin, and said with blazing eyes: "Everyone, the turning point has come!"
