Volume 1 The Lord of Snake Pan Mountain Chapter 201 The Way Home
Leng Feng saw that the warship formation on the opposite side stopped in place, and divided dozens of warships from both wings, and immediately ordered his warship formation to stop, and sent out a warship from each side to intercept it.
However, the warships separated on the opposite side went farther and farther, and the commanders of the two warships responsible for interception asked whether to continue to follow up and intercept, which made Leng Feng a little dazed.
Although his cultivation is high, it does not mean that he is a good commander, the cultivation realm has always respected his personal strength from ancient times to the present, and he has a lot of experience in fighting alone, in terms of commanding battles, he may be better than other strong people in Luoyang Sect, and it is too far behind Chen Zijun, who has undergone strict training and has commanded many battles.
Faced with this situation, he didn't know what to do, whether to continue to let the two warships follow up, or recall them, it didn't seem to be very good.
What if something happens to the brigade? What if there is no follow-up, and let the two warship formations go around?
Leng Feng felt that his head was a little too big, and finally he made the decision to continue to follow up.
The two warships quickly disappeared from his view.
Seeing this, Chen Zijun smiled and once again divided the two battle boat formations.
This time, the other party has to follow up if they don't follow!
Because the other party would never dare to risk putting their warship in their own pockets.
Sure enough, two warships were once again separated from the opposite side to follow up.
Chen Zijun and the other two warships were out of sight, and two warboat squadrons were separated.
Leng Feng had already stepped into his rhythm at this time, and a total of twelve warships were divided, and there were currently eighteen warships facing off against the super warships on the opposite side.
On the first intercepted warship, Wang Yulin, who had just advanced to the late stage of foundation building, circled along the side of the ship, but still did not find where the warship formation went.
Did it hide in the clouds and not come out?
Wang Yulin waved his hand, and immediately hundreds of light arrows shot indiscriminately into the nearby clouds.
The warship came out of the clouds, but it still did not find the previous warship formation.
It is common sense that the warships do not have a concealment function, and even if they have a concealment function, they have no effect in motion, and the fluctuations of the air will reveal their specific location, but where did those warships go?
Wang Yulin was puzzled, now that he was far away from the team, he couldn't ask Leng Feng for instructions on what to do, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Over there, my lord, they're over there!"
Wang Yulin perked up, turned around and looked to the other side, only to see dozens of war boats floating in the clouds three hundred zhang away on the opposite side.
"Prepare to attack!"
The warships struck horizontally, and the eight crystal cannons were aimed at the warship formation in front.
However, the formation of warships scattered in the middle as their warships crossed.
The cannon rang out, and eight pillars of azure light erupted from the warship, piercing through the warships scattered on the opposite side.
Wang Yulin ordered the warship to straighten up and chase after the scattered warship.
The warships fled backwards, looking very embarrassed.
"Chase, catch up with these rabbit cubs, and smash them all!"
Wang Yulin smiled and ordered to prepare to attack again, but at this moment, the warships running wildly in front of him suddenly stopped and turned to them, as if preparing for a big battle.
Wang Yulin didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and ordered his subordinates to beat the warship horizontally and prepare to activate the crystal cannon.
However, before he could give the order to attack, there were three loud noises behind him.
He was in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good, but it was too late, and the three pillars of azure light hit the warship directly.
The warship was shaken violently, and the Luoyang Sect monks above were caught off guard and almost all fell to the ground.
Before they could get up, there were three loud bangs.
This time the pillar of light hit the bow of the ship, and the warship was directly beaten in a circle in the air, Wang Yulin shouted to stabilize the warship, but there was chaos on the warship, all the monks of the Luoyang Sect were staggered, and the monks in charge of the warship's navigation had already been thrown to the other side of the ship, and no one could carry out his orders.
And at this moment, hundreds of arrows of light fell from all directions, screams came and went, Wang Yulin wanted to organize people to resist at all, after a cup of tea, all the Luoyang Sect monks on the warship were shot and killed, and none of them were spared.
Wu Meng jumped onto the warship, and there was a flying ant hovering above his head.
He didn't know how many times he had practiced the tactics against the warships at the Shepanshan base, first through the three warships to hide the equipment so that the warships could not be found, and then released other warship formations to attract the attention of the opponent, while the three heavy warships took the opportunity to hide in place, and when the opponent passed by and turned their backs to them, they launched a sharp attack, and the other sixty warships took advantage of the situation and annihilated all the people on the warships in one fell swoop.
"Yes, the warship can still be used if it is repaired, little ant, how is Le Jing's side now?"
The flying ant in the air buzzed a few times not far away, and after a while, it said to Wu Meng below: "Team Wu, the band is already luring the other party to a position one mile behind, saying that if you succeed, you can act." Speaking of this, he said seriously: "I am Ah Qiang, the flying ant squadron under General Ah Cai, please call me Ah Qiang or Ah Qiang in the future, don't call me a little ant!"
Wu Meng laughed and said: "Okay, if you are troublesome, Team Qiang is informing Team Le Jing, we can set off and cooperate with them to take down the other party." ”
The flying ant was very happy and said, "No problem." Then he sent a message to another flying ant that was hiding in the air not far away.
"Let's go, let's outflank the past and give that kid a boost. Wu Meng stroked the warship, and then left a warboat formation and returned with the rest of the people, intending to intercept the second warship of the Luoyang Sect.
Such a scene continued to play out on both sides, and after half an hour, all twelve warships were taken by the twelve warship formations sent by Chen Zijun, but they did not immediately return to the main warship. Instead, he waited quietly in a position that could not be seen in the field of vision of the Luoyang Sect warship formation.
Wei Wuxian sat on the warship and leisurely looked at the Luoyang Sect warship formation opposite, he had already obtained the information of the great victory on both sides through the flying ants.
The value of the Flying Ants is also on full display in this battle, they are not only suitable for attacking, but also the best liaison, small in size, fast, and large enough to transmit information very quickly.
He decided to add another squadron of flying ants to the mixed clan in the future, the same number as the warboat squadron, to enhance the team's observation and communication capabilities.
Chen Zijun said: "Mountain master, it is estimated that they can't bear it over there, will they not be able to resist attacking us?"
Wei Wuxian said: "Don't say whether they can win or not, they also have to be able to catch up with us, the speed of our warship has reached the wind speed of level five, if we really take the initiative to attack, although there are many warships on the other side, it is just dozens of targets for us, and we can hit that ship if we want to." ”
"Hey, they're really coming towards us, it seems that they don't dare to divide their troops, and they want to catch us. ”
"Mountain Lord, what should we do now?"
"Retreat thirty miles successively, after all, this place is very close to Luoyang Sect, and it is easier to start if you are far away. ”
"Yes. ”
Chen Zijun commanded the warship to turn and retreated thirty miles at a wind speed of force 4.
Leng Feng on the Luoyang Sect warship wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, there was no news from the twelve warships, and even the people sent out to inquire about the situation were sunk into the sea, which made him feel deeply uneasy.
Even with his current position, if he lost twelve warships at one time, he would not be able to afford it, he had no other choice, he did not dare to divide his forces to find the twelve warships, and decided to attack with all his strength to take down the giant ships on the opposite side.
As long as he takes the giant ship on the opposite side, then he can still explain to the sect, if he can't take it, he doesn't dare to imagine it.
The remaining eighteen warships of the Luoyang Sect moved forward with all their might, gradually moving away from the Qianxia Mountain Range.
"My lord, I've been chasing for a hundred miles. ”
Leng Feng said impatiently: "I know, chase, we must catch up with it." ”
He was like a gambler, constantly adding to his bets, completely losing his usual composure and becoming insensitive.
One hundred miles, one hundred and twenty miles, one hundred and fifty miles, the warship formations are getting farther and farther away from the Qianxia Mountain Range.
"My lord, the ship on the other side is gone!"
"What, stop and send someone to see. Leng Feng hurriedly ordered the battleship formation to stop, and dozens of people flew out of the battleship to drive the flying sword towards the opposite side.
Concealment of a ship needs to be at rest to be useful, as the aura of the space fluctuates during motion.
Soon there was a report from the front, and no traces of the warship were found.
"No way, it's always in front of us, how can it disappear! It must be nearby, you look carefully. ”
Leng Feng was crazy, even though many people already felt bad, but no one dared to say a word.
After about a cup of tea, all the people who went out to search came back, and still found nothing.
At this time, ten miles behind them, the disappeared warship was speeding towards the Thousand Gorges Mountain Range at this moment.
"Mountain Lord, why don't you take them down!" Chen Zijun was confident that he would take down all the eighteen Luoyang Sect warships that had been led more than a hundred miles away.
"There is news from the flying ants, there is a group of monks coming from us thirty miles away, if we can't solve the battle in a short time, we may encounter that group of monks of unknown origin, this side is not too far from Luoyang Sect, it is safer to withdraw to Shepan Mountain first. Wei Wuxian explained.
Chen Zijun said: "Cheap those guys, mountain master, that group of monks is estimated to be coming at us, and this group of guys wants to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”
"Don't pay attention to them, we also harvested twelve warships this time, go back and repair them, we can still use them." Wei Wuxian was thinking about what to do with these twelve warships, all of which had been damaged to varying degrees, and it might be a little difficult to restore them to their original appearance.
The warship formation quickly crossed the Qianxia Mountain Range, and Leng Feng almost turned his back on the news when he got the news. He didn't know how to go back and explain to the sect master Duanmuqin, thirty warships came out, but only eighteen went back, and the whereabouts of six thousand Luoyang Sect monks were unknown, and the losses this time exceeded the first decisive battle with the Blood Soul Alliance.
On the other hand, after Wei Wuxian returned to Shepan Mountain, he began to strengthen the deployment of the area north of the Qianxia Mountain Range, and added a flying ant squadron to all three existing mixed teams, the addition of the flying ant squadron will greatly enhance the team commander's ability to control the team, and he can grasp the information of each warship at any time, strengthening the early warning mechanism.
Brother Jindan's divine sense can be extended to five miles at most, and the observation distance of the flying ants in the air far exceeds this number, which undoubtedly plays a vital role in the defense and early warning of the entire team.
The Flying Ant Squadron is under dual management, and its main direct superior is Ah Cai, which is also conducive to Wei Wuxian's control of the regional teams.
Chen Zijun's 3rd Mixed Formation Team was responsible for the deployment of defenses north of Qianxia Mountain, a distance of more than 500 miles, from parts of Lingzhou to the outskirts of Yanzhou.
The other part of the area near Xiaoqingshan was garrisoned by Yuwen Qingtian's first mixed team, and Hong Zhan's second mixed team was still in the north to clear the remnants of the Fallen Soul Sect, and it was said that it was nearing the end.
At that time, if nothing else, Hong Zhan's third mixed team will be stationed in Beimang, Wei Wuxian has no mobilized formed team for the time being, and in his plan, at least two mixed teams must be integrated in the second half of the year, so that he can have a mobilized team in a local war.
Now more than 2,000 ordinary soldiers have been arranged to guard their homes, and there are more than 3,000 monks and soldiers waiting for reorganization, and there are more than 6,000 prisoners in the transformation of the mining area, and these people can only release a small amount of replenishment to the reserve at a time.
Wang Fu has put a lot of effort into this aspect, and now the soldiers who have joined the team have reached a very high proportion, but the welfare of the Shepanshan base is excellent, and the reputation of the management personnel among the soldiers is also quite good.
The composition of the base is very mixed, often there are monks from different sects in a war boat, eating and living together, and after a long time, everyone will forget their original identity and regard themselves as a member of the base.
Of course, there are also those who have bad intentions and bad intentions, but they have not done anything under the strong supervision mechanism of the base, Zhang Mazi is in charge of the supervision department always pays attention to every member of the base, and the slightest change will be mercilessly detained and interrogated, since the establishment of the department, many unscrupulous people who try to contact the same door and subvert the base have been caught.
There is never mercy on the disposal of traitors or enemies, because to be merciful to them is to do oneself a disservice.
After arranging everything, Wei Wuxian came to the Refining Academy.
Twelve warships needed to be repaired, and he had to communicate directly with the Refining Academy.
Fan Li and the others inspected the warships parked outside the refining courtyard, and after summing them up, Fan Li said: "Mountain Lord, the rune arrays of these warships are all damaged, and restoring them to their original appearance is almost equivalent to re-refining. ”
Wei Wuxian said: "I don't really want this level of warships, can you change them into cargo ships." ”
"Change it to a cargo ship?" Fan Li said in amazement.
"Yes, we can transport troops and goods, our team cannot all take a battleboat formation, and the garrison in many places can use an ordinary warfighter formation, and it does not need too strong mobility. ”
Fan Li said, "How big does the mountain lord want a cargo ship?"
Wei Wuxian thought for a moment and said, "The current scale is fine, and you don't need other equipment." ”
Fan Li said: "Then it's simple, at most a month, I can transform them all." ”
Wei Wuxian nodded and asked, "How is the progress of the Great War Ship now?"
"As long as the materials are sufficient, we can produce one ship in a month. ”
"Okay, go on, build five more big war ships, you don't have to worry about materials, now the entire Northern Region and Beimang are under our control, and when your cargo ship comes out, it will be more convenient to carry materials." ”
Coming out of the Refining Courtyard, he came to the Spirit Plantation Academy, where the population was growing and food became more important.
"Mountain Lord, we have sent someone to take over the spiritual fields of Tianmu Mountain, Yutan Mountain and other five places, and the immortal cultivation family over there is willing to cultivate for us, and then divide it according to the proportion. Jing Baihong said.
"Well, I'm still the same sentence, do a good job of food reserves, with the standard of 100,000 people, at least three years of reserves. Wei Wuxian said.
"100,000 people..."Jing Baihong was dumbfounded.
"What's wrong with 100,000 people, don't make a fuss, do you know how much the population of our base is now? Not counting the periphery, it's close to 30,000!"
"The subordinates will do their best to fulfill the requirements of the mountain master. Jing Baihong plucked up her courage and said.
"How long?"
"Two years..."
"One year, give you one year, you must ensure that there are 100,000 people in the granary for three years. ”
"One year..."Jing Baihong looked at Wei Wuxian in the distance, unable to speak for a long time.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, Wei Wuxian knows this very well, no matter how good the food and equipment are, it is useless, if you go out to fight hungry, it is difficult to win the war no matter how good the soldiers are.
Coming to the Alchemy Academy, Xiao Rulian happily held more than a dozen small porcelain bottles in front of Wei Wuxian and said, "Mountain Lord, this is the thirty-six Zhuji Dan that has just been baked, take a look." ”
Hearing this, Wei Wuxian said with a smile on his face: "I'll take a look, if I can use it, I will give you credit for the Alchemy Academy." As he spoke, he took out a pill from it at random, and looked at it carefully, it was exactly the same as the one he had used before, and he suspected that the Tsukidan that he had exchanged from Brother Bai last time was refined by this old man.
"How's it going, Mountain Lord?"
"It looks like that, and you have to try it to know if it's good or not. Wei Wuxian saw Xiao Rulian's expectant look and smiled, "What do you think? ”
Xiao Rulian's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "My subordinates heard that the Huang Department is going to build a new cave in the Spirit Cave, and my subordinates have no other ideas, so I just want to live there in the future." ”
The huge cave where Huang Qiao opened up the spiritual veins was called the spiritual cave by the people of the base, and it was the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Shepan Mountain.
Wei Wuxian said: "You are well-informed, okay, if these thirty-six Zhuji Dan works, the planned nine-layer cave mansion will reward you with the first floor of the Alchemy Academy, with a time limit of three years, how can I arrange for you to give a list to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time." ”
Xiao Rulian was overjoyed, but she didn't expect Wei Wuxian to actually reward the Alchemy Academy with one floor, but there were nine caves on the first floor, eight more than he expected, which had to be divided well.
