Hou Yunrui sat in the bright hall and asked the generals in front of him.
"Back to the general, Sun Min's troops are already less than a hundred miles away from Nubo Island. Give them two more days to reach Nubo Island!" A general came out and replied.
The corners of Hou Yunrui's mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Although the Western Route Army did not respect his command, which made him very angry, he was still very satisfied with the current battle situation.
In the past, they had suffered less than 100,000 casualties in exchange for the 800,000-strong army of the Hundred Star Dynasty. Now they had defeated the Hundred Star Dynasty steadily. In his opinion, the victory was already theirs.
"Send the order and advance at full speed. This general will hear the news of the capture of Nubo Island in three days!"
Hou Yunrui said proudly.
"Here!"
All the generals responded in unison.
…
A hundred miles south of Nubo Island.
Sun Min, the general of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, stood on the side of the ship and looked at the vast sea ahead.
His brows were furrowed, his face was solemn, and his eyes were a little confused and a little hesitant.
"Someone is coming!"
"My subordinates are here!" one of the guards responded.
"Go and ask if the scout ship has found any traces of the enemy!"
"Here!"
After a while, the guard returned and replied: "General Qi, there is no trace of the enemy within ten miles!"
"Not a single ship?" Sun Min asked.
"No, it seems they have all retreated to Nubo Island!" the guard replied.
Sun Min's eyebrows frowned.
They all evacuated to Nubo Island?
How is this possible?
Are the Hundred Stars Dynasty all a bunch of idiots? At this time, if they shrink all their troops to Nubo Island, isn't that just sitting there and waiting for death?
As a general, although Sun Min is only the general of a partial army, he is very aware of the current battle situation.
At the moment, the best way for the Hundred Stars Dynasty is to delay tactics. In fact, the Hundred Stars Dynasty has been implementing delaying tactics before.
But now the Hundred Stars Dynasty has changed its tactics. Instead of continuing to delay, it has continued to shrink its troops. This is a bit strange.
"Send a message to the general and report this matter to the general!" Sun Min thought for a while and said.
He is just a general of a partial army and does not have a comprehensive understanding of the overall battle situation. Faced with changes in the enemy's tactics, he needs command support from the rear headquarters.
This is not a small-scale battle, but a large-scale battle involving millions of soldiers and covering an area of more than a thousand miles of sea.
In such a large battle, the most important test is the command system and intelligence system.
If they fight independently, they are likely to be defeated one by one.
So although Sun Min rushed quickly, he still maintained a very cautious attitude.
Soon, the order came from Whale Shark Island, ordering them to advance towards Nubo Island at full speed.
Although Sun Min was still a little confused, he finally chose to obey the orders from the rear.
…
At this time, Nubo Island was completely deserted. Except for tents, Nubo Island once again became a deserted island.
Two days later, the first soldier to land on Nubo Island was a soldier from the East Route Army of the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
Star King and Ji Zhen's predictions were correct. The Eastern Route Army of the Giant Spirit Dynasty had long been preparing to attack Nubo Island.
When the news that Nubo Island was an empty island reached Whale Shark Island, Hou Yunrui was a little unbelievable.
"What's going on?"
"It's not clear. We haven't found the opponent's retreat direction yet!"
When the Hundred Stars Dynasty evacuated Nubo Island, they divided their army into two parts. One part retreated to the west, preparing to join Dali's army, and the other part crossed Nubo Island and evacuated towards the north.
The troops evacuating to the north were mainly those that had been fighting at the front.
Now they couldn't even find the second part of the army, let alone the first part of the army retreating westward.
Therefore, Hou Yunrui is completely confused now.
What does it mean when the enemy disappears halfway through the battle?
Has the Hundred Stars Dynasty given up?
Ready to quit the battlefield?
Hou Yunrui frowned, full of doubts.
However, at this moment, Xu Ling Hou Ming Zhengyang came to the hall and said: "General, Heiyuntai sent a message!"
"What?" Hou Yunrui quickly took the letter and looked at it.
After reading the letter, Hou Yunrui's face turned pale.
"How is this possible?"
Ming Zhengyang said: "Heiyuntai has confirmed that of the 280,000 soldiers of the West Route Army, except for 80,000 who escaped, the other 200,000 were all destroyed by Dali's army. Even Zhen Linggong Zhang Jihai,
Even Jingling Sword Lord Zhao Lun was not spared!"
At this time, four days had passed since the battle between the West Route Army and Dali ended, but Hou Yunrui still didn't know that the West Route Army had been defeated.
As for the reason, Zhang Jihai had cut off contact with him before.
"Damn bastard!"
"Gong Zhenling, your crime deserves death!"
Hou Yunrui couldn't help but roar.
That’s 280,000 soldiers!
In this way, almost the entire army was destroyed!
Although all of this was done by Zhang Jihai, he was the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and was nominally the general of all soldiers.
Now that the Western Route Army is almost completely destroyed, he, the general who conquered the North, cannot escape the blame.
"General, the Hundred Stars Dynasty should have withdrawn to the west. They are going to join Dali's army!" Ming Zhengyang said again.
Hou Yunrui took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Dali was able to defeat the West Route Army, which showed that Dali's strength was far beyond their previous expectations.
And now if the Hundred Stars Dynasty and Dali merge, the situation they will face may be full of variables.
"Can you determine the location of Dali's army?" Hou Yunrui asked in a deep voice.
"It should be five hundred miles west of Nubo Island!" Ming Zhengyang said.
Hou Yunrui pondered for a moment and said: "Order the entire army to march westward. We cannot give Dali and the Baixing Dynasty too much time to react."
Now they can no longer prevent Dali and the Hundred Stars Dynasty from joining together, but they can launch a general attack immediately after the two parties join together.
Although the confluence of the armies of the two dynasties will greatly increase their combat effectiveness, as long as they are not given enough time, they will not be able to complete the overall planning of the entire army.
For the armies of the two countries to unite, it is not enough to simply gather together. They also need to go through some integration and running-in. Otherwise, chaos will easily occur.
And this running-in time is their last chance.
If they seize the opportunity, they can defeat Dali and the Hundred Stars Dynasty in one fell swoop.
But if they don't seize this opportunity, they may face a tough battle next.
Hou Yunrui's thinking was very clear at this time, but he overlooked one thing, or he simply did not think of another result.
That means Dali may sneak attack on Whale Shark Island.
Just when Hou Yunrui ordered the entire army to march to the west, Yufengchuan had already arrived a hundred miles away from Nubo Island.
On the Yufeng boat, Qin Wei stood in front of the attic window, feeling the warm sea breeze, with a plain face.
"Where are they?"
"The two hundred thousand alliance troops are still more than 230 miles away from Whale Shark Island and will arrive in about two days!"
"The Daye Dynasty has sent 800,000 troops, of which 300,000 have arrived at Jiaoshan Island and will arrive tomorrow afternoon!"
"The Ararayu Ji clan has sent 100,000 troops, and they are already waiting a hundred miles east of Whale Shark Island!"
Xiao Shunzi said slowly.
The corners of Qin Wei's mouth twitched slightly.
This was a result he had not expected. He just wanted to dispatch 200,000 troops from the alliance alliance to attack Whale Shark Island. He did not expect that the Daye Dynasty and the Huangyu Ji family would also come to join in the fun at this time.
What surprised him even more was that the Daye Dynasty and the Huangyu Ji family would work so hard.
But this seems to be a good thing. With the Daye Dynasty and the Huangyu Ji family sending troops, the Whale Shark Island is doomed.
"Send a message to them that they must launch an attack on Whale Shark Island at noon three days later!"
Qin Wei ordered.
Now that everyone is here, let's launch an attack together.
At this time, you can never favor one over the other.
The Daye Dynasty and the Huangyu Ji family wanted to show off, so Qin Wei would naturally not refuse.
…
"Why did you tell Hou Yunrui about the rendezvous between Dali and the Hundred Stars Dynasty?"
On Whale Shark Island, Ming Zhengyang looked at Yuan Tiangang in confusion.
What he reported to Hou Yunrui did not come from Heiyuntai, but from Yuan Tiangang.
Whether it was the destruction of the West Route Army or the reunification of Dali and the Baixing Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang instructed him to report it to Hou Yunrui.
Yuan Tiangang sat on a chair, wearing a black iron mask on his face, looking at Ming Zhengyang with a pair of eyes that were invisible to everyone.
"You don't need to know this!"
"We can be considered collaborators now, don't you still believe me?" Ming Zhengyang said with a frown.
"Haha~~" Yuan Tiangang chuckled, "We are not a cooperative relationship!"
He stood up slowly, walked outside the hall door, stood under the eaves and looked up at the clear sky.
"When this matter is over, I will come back to you!"
After that, he gradually walked away.
Ming Zhengyang looked at his back with a livid face, until his back disappeared at the door, a cold light flashed in Ming Zhengyang's eyes.
cooperate?
Of course not!
He was just being coerced.
It's just that now he has no escape route. It should be when he exposed the location of Heiyun Island, he has lost all escape routes, and can only follow the snare path to the darkness.
If it was just like this, Ming Zhengyang didn't feel angry.
Although he is a distinguished member of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, he does not have much loyalty to the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
Whether it's a snare or a black cloud platform, it's all the same to him.
But he didn't like the feeling of being coerced.
It's no longer his son's problem at this point.
Until now, he has forgotten his poor son. His most important thing now is how to protect himself and how to protect the Xulinghou Mansion.
"These damn villains!"
Ming Zhengyang cursed angrily in his heart.
If he still had a chance to choose, he would rather not have a son like Mingchen than encounter these people in his trap again.
Especially this masked villain is simply disgusting.
