With a sword, he split the oncoming huge waves, and Li Mu finally landed on the deck of the battleship.
At this time, the hull was already tilting at an angle of 45 degrees. If the battleship was not extremely heavy and possessed the Mohist's unique balancing technology, it might not be able to support it.
There was no one on the deck, except for the constant crashing of waves all over the sky. Li Mu didn't waste any time, opened the nearest door and entered the interior of the battleship.
Although they encountered an unprecedented tsunami, the expeditionary force still maintained a very high level of tactical literacy. Officers, soldiers, sailors and monks all performed their duties, working hard in the "earth-turning" cabin to execute orders one after another.
"Brother Li, is it you? Why are you here?"
As soon as his front feet landed, Li Mu was recognized as a monk from the sect whom he had met during the defense battle of Qinglan City.
"Junior Brother Mo, there is a tsunami outside. Take me to the command room quickly."
When they heard the word tsunami, everyone present was obviously stunned. They stayed in the closed cabin. Although they got the news of encountering a large storm, they did not expect it to be a "narrow escape" tsunami.
“How could a tsunami happen?”
"Yeah, there haven't been many storms in this channel, so how could there be a tsunami?"
"It was fine just now, why is it suddenly like this?"
The doubts of the soldiers were also filled in Li Mu's heart. The sea area outside Shizuoka City had always been known for its calm waters, and he had never heard of any danger.
But now we are suddenly hit by a tsunami without any warning, which really makes people think that "this is a conspiracy".
After turning left and right in the steel corridor, Li Mu finally arrived at the command room of the ship. At this moment, the huge room was already crowded with people, and orders were issued from here to command the huge fleet.
"Brother Mu, why are you here?"
The clear and melodious voice came. It was the Nie Xiaoyu that Li Mu was looking for. The young girl she once was had faded away. Her sassy outfit outlined her exquisite figure, and her high ponytail was tied behind her head, which was pleasing to the eye.
.
"Xiao Yu, that's great. I guess you will be on the main ship. Now there is a tsunami outside. We must evacuate people quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Seeing that his lover was safe and sound, Li Mu finally felt relieved and hugged him tightly in his arms. After a long time, he realized that there was still business to do.
"What? Tsunami? How could a tsunami happen here? Quick, let's go find General Li."
Nie Xiaoyu's face turned red with embarrassment after being hugged by Li Mu. Although the two had already become a couple, the situation was urgent at that time and they were still young. After they were engaged to each other for life, they spent less time together and separated more. At this time, they saw that their sweetheart was fighting for him.
Coming, naturally I am very happy.
But when she heard that it was a tsunami, Xiao Nizi was still shocked. She immediately realized that the situation was not good, grabbed Li Mu's hand, and walked through the busy commanders to a man in military uniform.
in front of the man.
"General Li, this tsunami is extremely powerful, and judging from the current speed, it will collide with the fleet in at most half a stick of incense. It will be too late to reach the shore. The ship must be abandoned immediately and evacuated."
Li Su is the commander-in-chief of the third expeditionary fleet. He is in his early forties and already holds the rank of lieutenant general. He is also considered a famous general in the military circles of the Cangyun Empire.
When he heard the report at this time, his brows suddenly furrowed into a Sichuan shape. It wasn't that he didn't believe Li Mu's judgment, but that the entire fleet was newly built by the Cangyun Empire at a huge cost, integrating the most advanced technology and the skills of a large number of craftsmen.
Hard work.
This time coming to Penglai Xiandao to participate in the battle was supposed to be the first time for this fleet to show off their swords, but they did not expect that they would abandon the ship before they even reached the shore. This made Li Su, who was used to big scenes, unable to make up his mind immediately.
.
"General, there is no time. We must complete the evacuation within half a stick of incense and let all the soldiers enter Shizuoka City. Only then can we escape this tsunami. Otherwise, no matter whether it is a battleship or not, even this unit will be damaged."
here."
Li Mu understands Li Su's hesitation very well. The biggest regret of a soldier is to die before the battle is launched. And this new fleet, let alone the victory, has to abandon the ship before it even launches the battle. Which commander should be placed in it?
It's hard to accept it.
"Well, you are right, nothing is as important as the lives of soldiers."
Finally, he made a decision. After thinking about it, Li Su returned to his vigorous and resolute style. Under his command, all the high-speed landing craft on the battleships were lowered to the sea.
Female soldiers boarded the boat first, followed by ordinary soldiers, officers, etc., and finally the senior fleet generals and monks.
When Li Mu and Nie Xiaoyu stepped onto the small boat, the huge waves towering like mountains and rivers were already in front of them. The huge momentum shocked him, who had already accomplished cultivation, and sighed with emotion in front of the power of nature.
, I haven’t seen enough yet.
The small boat still used technology from the Mohist family, and the design that pursued speed made it look like a silver arrow, instantly widening the distance from the huge waves. It was only then that everyone truly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Mu, I think this tsunami happened too suddenly. It was calm and cloudless before. How can we say that a tsunami is just a tsunami?"
Nie Xiaoyu, who was holding Li Mu on her arm, said in a low voice. She was so thoughtful that she did not believe that the tsunami that instantly caused the expeditionary force to lose a fleet was really a natural disaster.
"I have a bad feeling. Anyway, I'll go back to Shizuoka City first. Only the steel city wall there can withstand the attack of this tsunami."
When Li Mu rushed to rescue people, Lin Qingzhu also came to the base camp of the expeditionary force with information.
"What did you say? A tsunami? Just now, we received a warning from Shizuoka Castle Nishihorai. We thought it was just an ordinary storm, but we didn't expect it to be a tsunami?"
Liu Chong kept pacing back and forth. After the news came from Li Su that the fleet was completely destroyed but the personnel were safe, his increasingly solemn expression finally relaxed a little.
"Pass my order for the entire expeditionary force to retreat into Shizuoka Castle at full speed."
As if he had made an extremely difficult choice, Liu Chong punched the wooden table in front of him, and almost gritted his teeth and gave the order for everyone to retreat.
"General, what about the warships in the port? There are also artillery and supplies. These are our foundation."
Liu Chong's order shocked the generals in the entire camp, and some of them with an upright personality immediately raised objections. After all, the people could evacuate, but a large number of weapons, equipment, and food supplies could not be moved into Shizuoka City in a short time.
These things are the foundation for the expeditionary force to maintain the current war situation. Not to mention that the combined value of all warships is astronomical. Just the lack of supply of logistics materials will put the frontline troops in trouble.
