Yao Guang quickly mobilized a thousand warships, equipped with arrows and countless mysterious crystals, and sailed away from Banyue Island in a mighty manner, heading towards the location of the Big Mac pointed by Xue Wenhai through the waves.
This time, Yao Guang is determined to completely destroy the Big Mac and kill all the soldiers on the battleship. It is best to combine the peak combat power of Xue Wenhai, the two-star Xuan King, to kill Daxia Kingdom's One-Side King in one fell swoop.
, and made an unparalleled contribution!
Therefore, in addition to his own flagship, eleven large warships, eighty-eight medium-sized warships, and a vast number of nine hundred small warships also came out of the port.
Three hundred and eighty thousand elite naval forces, equipped with more than a hundred Xuanjing cannons, countless eight-dan strong bows, and poison-quenched swords, are ready to fight a water war of unprecedented scale in recent years!
For this reason, only about two thousand old and weak soldiers were left to garrison Banyue Island, which has an important strategic position.
Obviously, Yao Guang's military expedition was a desperate move.
The sun rises and the moon fades, the stars shine and the stars fade, and a day and a half passes quietly.
At noon that day, on the Big Mac, the confidants sent by Chen Shen to search for the loot came back one after another.
This search was quite profitable. There were forty-four well-preserved black crystal cannons. Adding the thirty-six that were originally on board the Big Mac, the number just came to eighty.
This doubled the intensity of the Big Mac's cannon fire on enemy ships at the same time!
In addition, they also found several space mysterious rings left by enemy generals, which contained mysterious crystals, gold coins, and spiritual stones. However, the quantities were not too large, and Chen Shen regarded them as "pocket money."
Well, with the many trump cards he currently has, a lot of Five Elements Spirit Stones would be needed to activate the War Puppet or activate the Poison Mist Sprite Formation.
The spirit stones seized this time can be used as their source of power. As for the 100,000 kilograms of spirit stones accumulated by Chen Shen, there is no need to use them.
Of the many remaining mortal weapons, armors and other equipment, half of them were used by Chen Shen to arm the elite of the 300,000-strong mixed army.
The other half was temporarily stored by the young man, and he planned to send someone back to the imperial capital at a time to be dispatched by Xia Yuan.
No matter what, Xia Yuan was willing to spend 200,000 spirit stones to help Chen Shen survive the "Xuan King's life and death calamity" he made up. This friendship should not be let down.
Now that Chen Shen has gained benefits on the battlefield, he naturally wants to benefit Xia Yuan: by strengthening the military power of Daxia, Xia Yuan's empire can be consolidated.
After Chen Shen finished counting all the loot, the blazing sun in the sky was already setting in the west.
He was blowing the sea breeze on the watchtower and sleeping with his eyes closed. He felt extremely comfortable: "Okay, let's lift anchor and set off at full speed, heading straight for Huaibiao City!"
At this time, Lu Menglong, who was standing respectfully behind his bamboo and rattan chair, said: "Commander, if we follow the established route, we will reach the middle of the Huaijiang River in less than a day and night."
"Well, what's the problem?"
"In the middle of the Huaijiang River, there is a large island. Because its shape resembles a crescent moon, it is called Half Moon Island."
"As far as I know, Huainan has nearly 400,000 naval troops stationed at the Banyuedao Port. The commander is a Huainan veteran, Yao Guang, who is at the peak of the two-star Xuanwang."
"When it comes to the comprehensive combat power of naval warships, Yao Guang's elite navy is even better than Xue Wenhai."
"Oh? I didn't expect the Huainan Navy to have so many troops. I originally thought that Xue Wenhai's 450,000 troops were all the assets of the Xia Chunqiu Navy."
Chen Shen smiled indifferently, and then habitually activated the special skill "Omniscient Map" to spy on everything going on within a hundred miles.
After nearly three days of cultivation, his lost soul power had already returned to its peak state.
The Big Mac was parked on the river. In order not to be attacked by the enemy, Chen Shen would secretly use the "omniscience map" every hour to keep track of the surrounding situation.
At this moment, Lu Menglong was heard to speak again: "So... I'm thinking, we might as well stay here for some more time to repair. After the soul power of the gunners who control the Xuanjing Cannon has almost recovered, let's go on the road again?"
"Because when we get near Banyuedao, we will inevitably have to fight a tough battle."
At this time, Chen Shen's closed eyes slowly opened: "Well... your idea is good. Unfortunately, I can afford to wait, but his Huainan Army can't wait any longer."
"Ah? How do you say this?" Lu Menglong was a little confused.
Because in his opinion, there was no sign of any warship within a radius of dozens of miles.
Well, with his Nine-Star Mysterious Master's cultivation, he can only see the scene within a radius of thirty or forty miles. If it is further away, he will be more than capable but not strong enough.
Unless the enemy was driving a behemoth like the Big Mac, he could capture a vague outline from a distance of seventy or eighty miles.
"I mean, the enemy has arrived." Chen Shen stood up slowly: "Inform the entire army to be on high alert and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!" Lu Menglong immediately accepted the order and left.
In the past, he would have hesitated. But since the great victory three days ago, the navy admiral has almost unreserved trust in every word of Chen Shen.
Half an hour later, a warship appeared on the river fifty or sixty miles away.
"Hmm? Could it be that the Huainan admiral was beaten stupid? So he sent a warship here?" Lu Menglong, who climbed up and looked up, was filled with surprise.
With a smile on his lips, Chen Shen said, "Haha, is there only one ship? Can you take a closer look?"
Lu Menglong stared carefully.
After a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank: "This, this, this... this is not a ship, it is a row!"
"Many, many, thousands of warships, forming a column, are heading towards us with murderous intent!"
This time, even Qian Qian was surprised: "No! They obviously know how good you are at controlling the Xuan Jing Cannon, Marshal Chen."
"Now, by arranging the entire fleet in a row, they can very well avoid the large-scale bombing of the Xuanjing Cannon."
"As long as these Huainan warships maintain their formation, rush within 20 miles of the Big Mac, and then slowly disperse and circle around, then the Xuanjing cannons mounted on the large warships among them can also carry out an effective attack on our army.
!”
That's right. This is another strategy that Xue Wenhai came up with to defeat the enemy after suffering a big loss.
"Here, what should I do?"
Lu Menglong frowned: "Our gunners have not recovered their soul energy yet. And Commander, your soul energy may have been consumed a lot after the previous battle, right?"
Qian Qian hesitated slightly and said: "How about... let's turn the helm and retreat immediately? At the speed of the Big Mac, it's not a bad idea to get rid of them and return to Triangle City to regroup."
"Retreat? Stop being ridiculous!"
Chen Shen waved his hand with a smile on his face: "If these thousands of battleships come to attack us from the beginning, I will really have to spend a lot of money."
"But now, they are all lined up. It's like lining up to die! Why should I withdraw?"
