After preaching his strong strength, together with rich rewards, and motivating his soldiers, he rushed back to the barracks to sleep peacefully, but Hong Yi calmed down, gathered all the people around him, and studied how to fight this battle and how to arrange it in the house where the commander gave orders.

Although the actual combat arrangements in the Mansion of the Marshal of the Jing Navy have not yet been issued, and Hong Yi does not know what his green battalion will send over to do, but some of the secrets on the sea and the secrets obtained from Hua Langyue and Hua Langying have to be studied.

In the barracks of the commander, in addition to Chi Chaiyang, Shen Tiezhu, and the five personal soldiers, there was also the newly promoted Yang Yingming.

Xiao Mu and Jin Zhu went to mobilize the five ironclad flyships overnight, and when they waited for the order tomorrow, the soldiers of the entire green battalion would immediately step on this ship and go out to fight.

This preparation is not inadequate.

Anyway, this dispatch of troops is the first time Hong Yi has really led his troops to fight, if there is a leak, let alone meritorious service in the future, I am afraid that he will be caught by the intention and imprisoned.

"Where did you get this, my lord?"

Just when a huge, clear, colorful, and small print showing a lot of routes, islands, and jīng dense sea charts was laid out on the board, Yang Yingming's neck seemed to be choked, and his eyes were like angry cows.

You must know that the exact nautical charts of Jīng are not only the highest secret of the Jing Navy, but also the top secret of all forces. Each country has jīng dense charts, and the degree of jīng accuracy varies.

After being a soldier in the Jing Navy for many years, Yang Yingming also knows the importance of the nautical chart, he is also a scheming person, he usually pays attention to this aspect of things, and he is quite familiar with the nearby sea, but now looking at the nautical chart spread out by Hong Yi, it has been thousands of miles away, the entire ** bend, and even the past kamikaze country, Liuzhu country, etc., are detailed on the map, each island, in addition to what Yang Yingming knows, there are many islands that he does not know.

Unfolding this sea chart, it is as if the sea area within a radius of thousands of miles is all imprinted in people's hearts.

The terrain of the entire sea area is in your hands.

Although he didn't know what the top-secret chart looked like, Yang Yingming's intuition told him that the chart that Hong Yi had laid out must be the most detailed and accurate one.

"You don't have to worry about how you got it. Hong Yi glanced at Yang Yingming, Yang Yingming immediately lowered his head, knowing that he had asked abruptly, this was Hong Yi's secret, he was not trusted yet, how could he ask rashly?

"The subordinates are reckless. Yang Yingming took two steps back, didn't look at the charts with his eyes, and said respectfully.

"Hmm. It's also sensible. Hong Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"** bend a radius of thousands of miles, there are a total of three or four hundred islands drawn on the chart, some islands are primeval forests at all, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people hidden in them, there is no problem, after our army approaches the islands, we will definitely search them one by one, at that time, it is the beginning of danger!"

Chi Chaiyang pointed to the chart and said one by one: "On these large islands, according to intelligence, there are pirates and bandits, and some have built cottages and fortifications, which are definitely not a rabble, and the pirates entrenched in the ** bend have a total of five shares, namely Giant Whale Island, Black Shark Island, Thousand Buddha Island, Panlong Island, and Langya Island. These five groups of pirates, the total number of people is about fifteen or six thousand, all of them are fierce and vicious, and among them the masters are hidden, there is plenty of food and grass, and it is very likely that there are people who practice Taoism! Because of the encirclement and suppression of the Great Zen Temple, many warrior monks also fled overseas, and some escaped into the **bend to become pirates. And there are also many countries that secretly support it. ”

What Chi Chaiyang said was all the secret information from Hua Langying and Hua Langyue.

This information can be said to be accurate, because a large number of merchant ships come and go to the sea countries every year to do business, and they also have to worship the mountains and send some offerings to these pirates, and they will be safe.

"Chasing the sun, you Yunmeng Kingdom must also have a master among them, right?" Hong Yi glanced at Chi Chaiyang.

"That's nothing, Yunmeng's business, not my business, I'm a black bone person, after the black bone was destroyed by Yunmeng, it was incorporated into the territory, in our grassland, there are only tribes, there is no so-called country of your big cadres. I am loyal to the Murong family now, not Yunmeng. ”

Chi Chaiyang looked at Hong Yi and knew what Hong Yi was thinking.

"I see. Hong Yi put it down in his heart, originally thought that Chi Chaiyang would definitely have some scruples about killing Yunmeng, but now when he hears it, it is not the same thing at all.

"The grassland is the weak and the strong, the strong can plunder everything, there is no benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, there are just martial arts, Taoism, fists, knives, bows and arrows!" Chi Chaiyang sighed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's memorize these forces and have a foundation in our hearts. After the order is issued tomorrow, I will see which side of the pirates are attacking, anyway, these bows and arrows are sufficient, the ships are strong, and the terrain is familiar, so I am confident that I am well prepared. ”

Hong Yi and his group of cronies discussed again for a while, and discussed various logistics such as baggage, fresh water, anti-insect and snake medicine, and then went to sleep separately.

Although the logistics of the Jing Navy will also supply these things, such a large army, of course, cannot take care of all aspects, unless it is the core of the army, jīng rui, can enjoy the preferential treatment of full deployment, and Hong Yi's green battalion is only second-rate.

Chi Chaiyang had been in Yunmeng's army, and he was very clear about these situations.

On the third watch of the next day, the military order of the Jinghai Marshal Battalion was issued, and each battalion and army were issued in order, and their ships were mobilized and set off immediately.

On the starry night, the whole sea was densely packed with ships, large ships and small boats, and after gathering for a while, they all spread out neatly and drove out to the deep sea.

"The direction we're driving in this time is Whale Island. "Hong Yi's five ironclad flywheels, carrying three hundred and thirty-six jīng soldiers, followed the leading ships of the army all the way, unhurried.

Hong Yi stood at the bow of the ship, looking at his army, among the hundreds of ships, most of them were officially made wooden ships, although they were strong, but they were obviously countless levels different from the ironclad flywheel, and his own ship was driving in it, like a show standing out from the crowd, attracting the envious eyes of many officers and soldiers on the nearby ships.

However, this envy is also not enviable, Hong Yi did not hide his strength, the children of the nobles of the great cadres in the past generations joined the army, and they all brought their own jīng rui, this is an unwritten rule, the stronger your strength is, the more you will be respected and taken care of.

.....................................................................................................................

"Originally, I thought that this Hong Yi was just a concubine who was not treated well by the Hou Mansion and came out to join Prince Yu to make war exploits, but I didn't expect that he had such a strong strength!"

At this moment, on the huge official ship in front, a general with a straight figure and wearing pitch-black black python snakeskin scale armor looked at the five ironclad flywheels behind Hong Yi wandering on the edge of the large army fleet.

This official ship is the real core of the entire army of the first road, and it is inhabited by the commander of the entire army.

The official ship is a five-tooth ship with a thousand people and hundreds of people, and there are two hundred people on the oars below the deck alone, and the small boats that are floating around the official ship are obviously twice as strong as the rest of the ships.

There are a total of 10,000 people in the entire army, twenty battalions of people and ships, except for the five battalions of the core jīng rui, the rest are all Hong Yilu's battalion.

The commander of the army all the way is a trusted commander named Deng Yuantong under Yan Zhen, with strong martial arts and rich combat experience. I don't know how many battles I have fought on the water.

At this time, Deng Yuantong stood on the deck of the big official ship, looking at his neat fleet appearance.

Standing next to him were a few pro-soldier staff, as well as a few people dressed as Taoist priests, wearing green sermon clothes and yellow sè belts around their waists, who were Taoist priests of Fang Xiandao.

Daqian's formal canonized Daomen, Taishang, Zhengyi, Fang Xian. Taishang Dao never appears, and the waist is a purple belt, and Fang Xiandao is a yellow belt, which is best recognized.

Before sending out the army, it is necessary to worship the god of the sea, observe the celestial phenomena, water patterns, treat incurable diseases, and guard against water demons, all of which require Taoist priests.

"Yes, this ironclad flywheel was secretly made by a silver merchant, I don't know how Hong Yi got it?" said a staff member beside Deng Yuantong.

"The Red Fang ship of the Governor over there, Gongzi Wei Lei, is not bad. Deng Yuantong pointed to more than a dozen red-painted tooth ships on the other side.

These red-painted fangs, covered in dark red, resembled sharks, were surrounded by baffles, and on top of the baffles, there were also ballistas, and the two ships approached, and the crossbows were fierce enough to pierce the enemy's hull and make them enter the water. In addition, there are catapults that can bounce large stones and hit enemy ships from afar.

This kind of red-lacquered ship is obviously larger and stronger than the surrounding ships. Apparently also a private ship. There are eighteen ships in total, which is more than three times more than Hong Yi's ships.

"It seems that Wei Lei, the son of the governor, wants to fight for credit, this time our army first suppressed the Giant Whale Island, gained a firm foothold, and went to the depths of the ** bend to join the rest of the army. Pull out the strongholds that Yunmeng has planted in the ** bend one by one, and the action should be as fast as lightning. There are just two more pioneers. ”

The bureaucrats beside Deng Yuantong said: "Let Hong Yi and Wei Lei take the lead, anyway, all of them are jīng Rui, but the credit is the commander." Why not?"

"No! the credit is still theirs, these two people have strength, especially that Hong Yi, who is hidden so deeply, even the flywheel iron armor can be obtained, in addition to the Jade Prince, I am afraid there are other people behind it, you know, the silver merchant and the prince's, could it be that the two masters have joined forces?"

Deng Yuantong shook his head: "The Jing Navy is a large army, and it is not controlled by the governors of the seven provinces of Nanzhou, and I am not afraid of Nawei Taicang, but the fourth master, the eighth master, I can't offend." You pay attention to it, order it down, and take a good look at Wei Lei, I know the news of this person, I'm afraid I have to make some small moves against Hong Yi. And Hong Yi is hidden deeply, if he fights back, it will be unfavorable to that Wei Lei, it is not good, in short, I want to fight on both sides, neither offend Wei Taicang, nor offend this Hong Yi. ”

"The commander is smart, I'm going to prepare, the children of the nobles have always fought for success, and the things that affect the boss are not small. The staff around him hurriedly complimented him, and hurriedly retreated, apparently ordering the arrangement.

.....................................................................................................................

"That Hong Yi actually has an ironclad flywheel, where did you get it?"

Wei Lei stood on the red lacquered boat, looking at Hong Yi's five boats on the other side, and there was a sharp light in his eyes. "The ship is sturdy, and it flies on the water, but it is not easy to deal with. ”

"Young master, don't have any worries, there are many opportunities for him. An old man with a beard and a narrow face beside Wei Lei said.

"Of course I know, but things can't be too obvious, this time dealing with Hong Yi is just a small thing, but the big thing I really want to do is another thing. Wei Lei's clothes were blown by the sea breeze and hunted: "The pirates on Giant Whale Island are not ordinary pirates, among them are very likely to be the remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the warrior monks who escaped from the Great Zen Temple, the three supreme scriptures of the Great Zen Temple, the past, the present, the future, and the family back then, none of them were copied. It was obviously taken out by the warrior monk. If I can get one of them, I will immediately become a peerless master and establish an immortal deed! Moreover, on Whale Island, those pirates have plundered for many years, and there are many treasures, and these treasures cannot fall into the hands of others. ”

"Well, treasures, scriptures, these things are what matter. The old man with a narrow face nodded.

"I have brought such a master this time, and I am so well prepared, and I am determined to win! If someone stops me, people will block and kill, and God will stop and kill God. Wei Lei put his hands behind his back, and a deep and cold smile spread across his face.

......................................................................................................................

"Brother Hong, what are you thinking?"

The army ship moved forward, and Chi Chaiyang saw Hong Yi standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the eighteen red lacquered ships on the other end, his eyes were thinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he stepped forward and asked.

"I'm thinking, sure enough, that Wei Lei and I can't get along, buy the five heads first, there should be some yīn plot against me this time, after all, we are all in the army. Hong Yi said slowly.

"Yes, he is the son of the governor of the seven provinces of Nanzhou, with great power and a special identity. It's not easy to deal with, be careful. Their Wei family is the prince's person, you are the person of the Jade Prince, and this time to suppress the bandits, you have to fight for credit, and even the pirate's treasure, gold and silver, you have to get a piece of the pie first, he must have a plot against you. Chi Chaiyang's eyes narrowed, "Brother Hong, how can you guard against him?"

"How to guard against ......" Hong Yi looked up at the sky: "The sky is about to dawn, benevolence is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not business......."

After muttering a few words, he violently shook the hilt of the "Shark Chopping" sword: "Since ancient times, in the history books, yīn scheming and tricks cannot be guarded against, not afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves!

"Strike first to be strong, and then to suffer?" Chi Chaiyang said: "Do you want to kill him first?"

"It's his identity, I'm going to do it first! Now presumably the commander of the army, Deng Yuantong, is undecided. I killed Wei Lei, just in secret, forcing the commander of the army to fight with Wei Taicang, so I had to side with Prince Yu. Benevolence and righteousness, benevolence and righteousness are spoken to the people of the world, and to kill these dignitaries and nobles is benevolence and righteousness. Chase the sun, you listen! As soon as you have the opportunity, you will use Guan Hong to release cold arrows and kill Wei Lei!"

Hong Yiqiang snorted and pulled out half of the Shark Slashing Sword.
