"Your Highness, all the information found in the secret room of the trading house is here. After sorting it out, it is now certain that the Dongji Island fleet has crossed Star Island yesterday."

Zhang Zong cupped his fists and said.

Liu Xia immediately looked at the map.

Xingdao is a scattered small island, only two days away from Jiangling.

"So, the Dongji Island fleet is already very close to us."

Liu Xia pondered.

"Will they attack tomorrow?"

Zhang Zong asked.

"Probably not. I think they will join up with the Kunsha Gang. So they should anchor near Xingdao for a day. You should go find Huang Pujie now and ask him to rush to Jiangling at full speed."[

Liu Xia said.

"As commanded."

After Zhang Zong finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and left.

"Lingxiao, you can order the mobilization of the troops of the Southeast Border Guard Army on the Kunzhou border to reinforce here. After Jidao and the Kunsha Gang join forces, they will probably have many more troops than us. With just the few troops we have now,

I'm afraid there may be some trouble. No matter what, we have to wait until Huang Pujie arrives."

Liu Xia said.

"As commanded."

Duan Lingxiao said with cupped fists.

"Caiwei, you should immediately use Fumantang's golden eagle to test the enemy's situation and see where they are."

Liu Xia said.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I'll do it right away."

Caiwei hurriedly turned around and headed out the door.

"Lord Wang."

Liu Xia turned around and looked at Jiangling's guards.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

Wang Qinghe said with cupped fists.[

"You should immediately take your troops and go to the dock to evacuate the merchant ships. The Jiangling Wharf must be cleared tomorrow afternoon. In addition, the canal will be temporarily closed and no ships will be allowed to approach."

Liu Xia said.

"As ordered, I can go and do it."

In an instant, Liu Xia's room became quiet.

According to Huang Pujie's introduction, Dongji Island has the largest number of pirates. This time they are ambitious and well-prepared, and their number may exceed 30,000.

The Kunsha Gang went out to sea to rob every year, and their number ranged from 15,000 to 20,000 people.

After receiving information from Qinshui, the Kunsha Gang may be out in full force this time.

Therefore, the total number of these two groups is probably 50,000.

If they fight on land, Liu Xia is confident that 30,000 people will fight against 50,000 of them. Even if he wins, he may not suffer any big losses.

However, Jiang Lingcheng faced the sea, and the imperial fleet was fighting the pirates head-on for the first time. The morale of the newly formed southeastern border guard army was low, and various unfavorable factors made Liu Xia faintly worried.

Even if Jiangling is defended, if they severely damage their fleet, I am afraid they will continue to spread along the southeast coast. At that time, they will be truly poor.

Therefore, in the battle with Jiangling, they must lose half of their troops, so that it will be much easier to deal with them again.

East China Sea Star Island.

The sky is blue, with a few white clouds, and the sea breeze is gentle, very pleasant.

On the outskirts of the star island, which is like a sky full of stars, about two hundred large and small warships are anchored here.

After the battleships, there are hundreds of fishing boats, which are majestic.

Both warships and fishing boats looked very dilapidated, and some even looked riddled with holes, as if a storm could destroy those ships.

However, these ships became the pirates of Dongji Island.

These pirates on Dongji Island are brave and vicious, and some merchant ships will flee when they see their flags.

At this moment, Kana was lying comfortably on the beach, letting the sea water submerge his legs. Amidst the ebb and flow of the tide, Kana's naked body was covered with scars. Although they had healed, they were still shocking to look at.

Seagulls were flying in the sky, and Kana opened his eyes. At this time, Dai Bang walked to his side.

"Headman, we just received information. Everything in Jiangling City is as before."

"knew."

At this time, a wave came and flooded Kana's chest.

He stood up suddenly and saw a vast array of ships appearing on the sea level in the distance.

There are about one hundred and fifty sixty in number, but there are only about fifty warships in this fleet, and the rest are fishing boats and merchant ships.

These ships looked very old, but the main ship in the lead was very brand new.

The battle flag of the Kunsha Gang hung on it, fluttering in the wind.

"Wang Kunsha is here."

Cana smiled lightly.

Dai Bang hurriedly put on clothes for Karna, and the two of them headed towards the main ship.

The main ship of the Ji Island pirates is the Tianbao, which was exchanged with the Nangong family.

It is about two hundred meters long, seventy meters wide and thirteen feet high, and can accommodate thousands of people.

Although it is comparable to the Dragon Soul, it is already much larger than an ordinary main battleship.

The manufacture of warships consumes a lot of financial resources. Even pirates like them do not dare to buy too much.

Moreover, the cost of maintaining a warship is also huge.

It is very rare for Dongji Island to have more than 200 warships.

A moment later, Wang Kunsha's battleship arrived at the outskirts of Star Island.

Immediately, Wang Kunsa took a small boat and approached the Tianbao. After a while, he boarded the Tianbao.

Seeing Khanna on the deck, Wang Kunsha smiled warmly and said, "Brother Khanna, long time no see, you look so majestic again."

"Haha, brother Kunsha. You look good too."

With that said, the two people gave each other a warm hug.

After they separated, Khanna smiled and said: "How did you gain from going south this time?"

"Thanks to brother Kana for your ingenious idea. Jiangzhou is indeed richer than Kunzhou and Taizhou. We only ransacked three cities and filled seven or eight large ships. Moreover, the girls in Jiangzhou are also very smart."

Having said this, Wang Kunsha shouted: "Bring it up."

At this time, a small boat approached.

Immediately, the Tianbao put down the sampan, the boat opened the deck, and the sailors moved the huge wooden boxes one by one to the Tianbao.

Dai Bang opened a box at random, which was filled with gold and silver treasures, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Then, from the cabin of the small boat, the sailors drove more than thirty young girls towards the Tianbao.

Those girls were wearing handcuffs and anklets, and each one of them had tears in their eyes and was trembling with fear. Some of the girls had scars on their bodies, and they were trembling with fear at this moment.

"Well, these are all for Brother Cana. Thank you very much for your willingness to bring your brother and me to make a fortune together this time."

Wang Kunsha smiled.

"Brother Kunsha, this is nothing. Jiangling City has always been rich. When we capture Jiangling, these things will be just a fraction."

Cana replied with a smile.

"What I'm saying is that after receiving your news, I traveled day and night. By the way, I met the imperial navy at sea. They seem to be heading towards Jiangling as well. Will there be any problem?"

Wang Kunsha said worriedly.

"The Imperial Navy came just in time. They were wiped out together. The entire coastline belongs to us."

Dai Bang smiled disdainfully.

"I heard that the imperial navy defeated the entire Nangong family navy. It seems that something is different this time."

"Really?"

Kanna frowned and asked.

"It's absolutely true. I only learned the news in the past few days. The Nangong family was destroyed because of the navy's failure, which led to the total loss. We have to be careful."
