It's useless to worry about your spiritual energy. It's better to eat well and drink enough and plan slowly... Qin Feng picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes on the table.
A gust of wind blew through the clouds, and after everyone was eighty percent full after eating, Qin Feng opened his mouth to speak.
"I have decided to use all the current spiritual energy points for the construction of the navy, so that they can have the capital to confront the Qunyuzhou Island Fleet. As for the army, the formation of the border army will be suspended."
"But the army of Qunyuzhou Island is still wreaking havoc on the island. With our current military strength, I'm afraid we can only draw a tie with them. In this way, the war will last for a long time..." Hua Rong had some worry on his face.
Yes... As soon as the war lasts, the troops from Coral Island and Volcano Island will land. Facing the military strength of the three parties, they may not be able to survive... Qin Feng instantly understood Hua Rong's worries.
"I think the governor did the right thing. Qunyuzhou Island has the support of the fleet and can continue to transport troops. This is still not good for us. If we can destroy their fleet, one less enemy on Shellzhou Island will die."
Chang Yuchun swallowed the last piece of meat and then expressed a different opinion.
Qin Feng also put down his chopsticks. He was about eight cents full after eating this meal. He originally wanted to serve another meal, but he thought it was breakfast and eight cents full was enough.
"Yes, if we don't kill their fleet, we will have no way out. Now that they have transported their army, they will be looking for our fleet in a short time. Zheng Zhilong and the others are still quite dangerous."
"Besides, the Army has my presence here, and the other party may not be our opponent. Now is our most difficult time. I hope we can work together to overcome the difficulties."
"Captain, you are right, we will definitely defeat them." Chang Yuchun cheered.
As a rat-man who doesn't understand strategy, White Fang has been consciously staying aside and pouring all the remaining dishes into its big mouth, not participating in the discussion at all.
Well, Qin Feng and the others don't expect it either.
Seeing that the plates were all empty, Qin Feng waved his hand, and the general guard next to him put away the empty plates, and then laid out a map. This was the topographic map of Shell State Island found from North Road Commander Duke.
The cities, towns and villages are clearly marked.
Qin Feng pointed at the map and gave the two of them a general introduction to the current situation.
"According to the news from Zhang Ming, the Qunyu Zhoudao South Route Army has surrounded Jiabei City. Since it is under the command of Chebman, the city has not fallen yet and is currently in a stalemate."
"Zhubei City is now leaderless. Although they share the same enemy, I don't think they can support it for long in the face of the army from Qunyuzhou Island."
In this regard, Qin Feng is very optimistic about the future of Zhubei City.
"Did Fengbeicheng go to support?" Hua Rong suddenly asked.
"No, there's no movement at all." Qin Feng shook his head.
"Hey, they don't want to surrender..." Chang Yuchun made a bold guess.
Qin Feng glanced at him in surprise, "This is impossible. Qunyu State Island's attitude towards Shell State Island is very clear, that is to kill them all or turn them into slaves. If Fengbei City surrenders, it will not be a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
?”
Chang Yuchun said: "Now the army of Qunyuzhou Island is overwhelming. They may be in a wait-and-see mode. If Qunyuzhou Island wins, they will surrender. If Qunyuzhou Island loses, they will beat up the drowned dog."
Chang Yuchun's explanation made sense, and both Qin Feng and Hua Rong were thoughtful.
"Well, this situation cannot be ruled out. What should we do next? Let's brainstorm. Should we wait for follow-up reinforcements or continue to march? If we march, should we attack the South Route Army or the Middle Route Army on Qunyuzhou Island?" Qin Feng immediately
The topic was changed and the question of whether Fengbei City surrendered was retained.
"Captain, we should wait for reinforcements." Chang Yuchun said immediately.
"Oh? Why don't you go to reinforce Jiabei City or Fengbei City? As long as we support them, the army from Qunyuzhou Island will have some scruples." Qin Feng originally wanted to give reinforcements to the army from Qunyuzhou Island.
Don't attack too fast.
"The main reason is that the army from Beikezhou Island cannot cooperate with us. I'm afraid that when we are surrounded and suppressed by the army from Qunyuzhou Island, they only care about themselves and have been hiding in the city." Chang Yuchun has always been full of distrust of the non-Ming army.
This time I also doubt whether they can provide support. After all, they don't even support each other among themselves.
Qin Feng Diandian fully agreed with Chang Yuchun's point of view. After all, human nature is the biggest variable in war.
"But..." Chang Yuchun pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "We can provide elite troops to support."
"Look..." Chang Yuchun pointed to Zhubei City on the map.
"This city is built on the mountainside, with a group of mountains behind it. If you want to attack on a large scale, you can only attack it from the front. But if this happens, the army of Qunyuzhou Island will definitely suffer heavy losses, and they may not be able to defeat it. I guess they will definitely send an army
Elite troops occupied this position and then suppressed them from high places, or even made a sneak attack directly into the city."
Looking at the location pointed by Chang Yuchun, everyone immediately looked over. It was the top of the cliff that Zhubei City was backed by. Standing on it, one could clearly see everything in the city.
"Isn't there a magic crystal vein not far behind the top of the cliff..." Qin Feng asked, pointing to the other side. Now his eyes would light up whenever he saw the magic crystal.
"Yes, Governor, there are medium-sized magic crystal veins, and there are countless dry clams in this mountain range. When they grow to a certain age, they will form magic beads in their bodies. The effect is the same as crystal nuclei, but they are usually used for lighting.
, because the magic beads are brighter." Chang Yuchun had obviously made preparations for the investigation in advance.
Qin Feng looked at the mountains behind Zhubei City thoughtfully, "You mean to let us send some elite troops to occupy the top of the cliff first, to prevent Zhubei City from being attacked from both sides, and to delay the advance of Qunyuzhou Island.
.”
"Yes, Governor." Chang Yuchun replied.
"I'm more interested in that magic crystal vein." Qin Feng then shook his head. He suddenly thought that the people in Zhubei City must have transported the crystal cores mined from the magic crystal veins to the city. There are probably only some mines left there.
Something like that.
"This plan is good. Let me take the people there. Don't argue. If I are surrounded by them, I can retreat calmly, right?" Qin Feng smiled and dismissed their thoughts of fighting for it.
This plan is very bold, and the risk factor for those who implement it is extremely high, so Qin Feng directly takes it upon himself.
Chang Yuchun and Hua Rong looked at each other and reluctantly gave up the plan of persuasion.
As soon as the plan came out, Qin Feng immediately implemented it, summoned his generals and guards, and then transferred all the Ming Dynasty's archery battalion.
Qin Feng found that they were now ineffective in large-scale battles. The range of bows and arrows was no longer as good as the range of muskets. Although the bows and arrows in their hands were still powerful, the cost-effectiveness was much lower.
However, this time they were fighting in the mountains, which fell into the mid-range combat range, which allowed them to still exert great power. They were all good at fighting in the mountains.
141 war horses were mobilized for the Ming Dynasty Archer Battalion to ride. Qin Feng set out for Zhubei City with a total of 301 people, including the rat man White Fang, who was also very good at mountain warfare.
"What do we need to do, is to wait?" Hua Rong watched Qin Feng disappear on the horizon, turned to ask Chang Yuchun, this time he was still the main general.
"How is it possible? We are short of spiritual energy points now. There must be crystal cores in the three towns of Robei City. Let's go and grab them." Chang Yuchun put his arm around Hua Rong's shoulders and smiled mischievously.
"How to grab it?" Hua Rong asked doubtfully.
Chang Yuchun raised his hand to his mouth, attached it to Hua Rong's ear, and whispered softly.
After Hua Rong listened carefully, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Troops pretending to be from Qunyuzhou Island?"
After Chang Yuchun finished speaking, he looked at him seriously, "For the governor, for the Ming army..."
Hua Rong finally replied helplessly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
In this plan, Hua Rong plays the role of the army of Qunyuzhou Island. He goes to various towns for a walk and collects the crystal cores in the towns. Chang Yuchun plays the role of the righteous army to regain the towns and destroy them.
It is firmly in the hands of the Tenglong Kingdom.
………
At this time, great changes also occurred on the maritime battlefield in the south.
Dozens of the main Sanzhi warships from Qunyuzhou Island came behind the Pirate Alliance. Especially after the appearance of the first high priest Iden, the Pirate Alliance did not hesitate to leave with all fleets in order to avoid more losses.
So the fleets from the Fish State Islands and the fleets from the Coral State Islands joined forces and headed straight for the battlefield where Admiral Wood and the Volcano State Islands Fleet were fighting.
After many days of running at sea, Betty finally found Admiral Wood.
At this time, on Admiral Wood's "Emperor", in the captain's bedroom, Betty was lying on a large wooden bed, with a silk quilt sold by the Tamron Chamber of Commerce covering her body.
At this time, the door opened, and General Wood walked in with heavy steps. Looking at Betty's pale face, he suddenly showed a distressed look on his face.
Betty's eyelashes fluttered slightly and opened suddenly. When she saw Admiral Wood, her expression relaxed again, and a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by guilt.
"I'm sorry. I fell into the enemy's damn plot and left Chain Island. I was ambushed by them again. Robert and the others were also killed in the battle. Now I don't know what happened to the Tenglong Kingdom's fleet and whether they attacked Shell State Island."
Wood looked at her quietly, his face no longer solemn and majestic as usual, looking quite soft.
But after hearing the words "Sheikezhou Island", his face instantly darkened, and his eyes turned away slightly dull.
After a while, about a minute later, he sighed, "Oh! News came from Chibman that the Tenglong Kingdom fleet suffered heavy losses, the army from Qunyuzhou Island has landed, and Gale was also killed in the battle. The rest of the news seems to be
It’s been blocked, and neither the message from the bald eagle nor the image from the magic array has been transmitted.”
"The only good news is that the Tenglong Kingdom will send its army to land on Shell Island to help resist the army on Qunyu Island."
After hearing this, Betty smiled bitterly and said, "Do you believe in the Tenglong Kingdom and others? I guess they will surrender to Qunyuzhou Island. After all, if they continue to resist, they will only perish. Only by surrendering can they continue to survive..."
"Haha, so Chebman must have been deceived. The Tenglong Kingdom will join forces with Qunyuzhou Island, and no one on the island will be their opponent anymore."
Betty closed her eyes gently, and two tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.
