The generals in the main hall were all in high spirits, and the gloom in their hearts had been swept away.
The army is approaching, and they have the right to be afraid and the right to choose to escape, but if they want to survive, they still have to defeat the enemy. And to defeat the menacing and huge fleet and enemy forces, it is impossible to rely solely on advanced weapons and magic and ghost skills.
Fighting spirit is also the key to their victory.
All the lieutenants and generals rekindled their fighting spirit at this moment. They made the final decision to give up evacuation and live and die with Shuoyue Island.
This made Yingzhao very happy. Looking around at the subordinates in front of him, he seemed to see himself who followed Xiao Shizhu from here to conquer the east and west.
At that time, he was also full of fighting spirit. At that time, he was also full of confidence and firmly believed that the Nine Nether Kingdom's army was omnipotent. He also firmly believed that the Nine Nether Kingdom could overcome any difficulties, so he planted the Flower of the Other Shore flag all over the underworld, for this
The world of ghosts brings stability and peace.
Today, Yingzhao still believes in this.
Nearly five million enemy troops could not intimidate him and his soldiers, nor could they destroy their inner beliefs.
"Even if you die together with the enemy, don't sit still and wait for death!" Yingzhao looked around at his generals again and asked sonorously: "I ask for the last time, who else wants to choose to evacuate with the civilians?".
None of the lieutenants and assistant generals said anything more. But their silence was not hesitation, but determination, and they would not take a step back.
"It seems that none of them are willing to leave. Then go back to your respective posts and guard every inch of the land behind you..." Yingzhao, who had waited for a long time but didn't hear a word from his subordinates, said.
As he spoke, he suddenly sniffed sharply and his eyes were slightly red.
Thinking of the ghosts in front of him and fearing that they would never have the chance to meet again, Yingzhao, a warrior from the Jiuyou Kingdom who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, showed a sad expression.
"Everyone performs his duties and kills the enemy as much as possible." Yingzhao hesitated for a long time before finally spitting out these eight words. It was still sonorous, powerful and resounding.
"No." The other ghosts saluted in unison, and Yingzhao added: "Now, since everyone is not evacuating, I will tell you a top-secret plan."
Yingzhao strode forward and stood behind Shuai An again. The generals also turned around again and faced Shuai An.
Yingzhao had already put away his sad expression, and with a solemn expression he said to the generals: "The mother of the country has a plan that can catch the enemy by surprise in the war and weaken their fighting spirit."...
Outside Shuoyue Island, there is the boundless Minghai Sea.
The army of the Northern Yin Dynasty rode on the battlefield of a large and mighty mixed fleet, riding the wind and waves all the way south, heading straight for Shuoyue Island.
The coach Gong Mingyi has also reached the peak of his life. With the support of Emperor Fengdu and the Northern Yin Dynasty in all aspects, the army commanded by Gong Mingyi this time is not only large in number, but the warships are also the elite of all the Northern Yin Dynasty naval forces.
The main battleships are all large treasure ships made of unsinkable wood and dragon spines as keels. They are equipped with ghost cannons, cluster rockets and three-eyed muskets. There are also crossbow arrow launchers on the deck, as well as trebuchets and bed crossbows.
.
From the deck to the cabin, even the mast, they are fully armed.
The tall treasure ships are connected together, and the hundreds of warships are like small islands. What's more, Gong Mingyi has thousands of treasure ships serving as the main warships. Together, they are like a floating road, majestic and spectacular.
As far as the eye can see, there are masts standing like a dense forest. Moreover, the treasure ship is so tall that even if there are warships around, the firing range of the firearms on the deck will not be blocked.
Gong Mingyi also arranged the Fu Ship and Cangshan Ship, which were as tall as a city and had a draft of one foot or two feet, on the left and right wings of the fleet. The frigates accompanying him on the left and right all had boarded huts on the ship deck, which provided clear access to the front and rear.
, covered with a large beam, with wheels lying down on both sides.
The nailed huts on the cartwheel can not only be attacked and defended, but can also emit sacred sand, sand arrows, and sacred fire, and smoke to obscure the enemy's eyes. This strengthens the combat power and defensive power of the left and right wings.
As for the vanguard army and the front camp, they are all fast boats such as Haicang boat and Centipede boat. The emphasis is on the word "quick". The goal is to be close to victory when the enemy starts the war, so as to crush the enemy's vanguard first and weaken the enemy's strength.
In addition, there are Moon Chasers in the sky, escorted by air cavalry, and water mang ghosts and red shrimp cavalry in the water. Not only is this army huge, it is also the largest attack organized by the Beiyin Dynasty since the founding of the country.
The reason is simply that Xiao Shizhu and Jiuyou Kingdom have become so powerful that Emperor Fengdu had to be very energetic and go all out to deal with them.
But such an army also has a weakness, that is, its target is too big.
The closer they get to Shuoyue Island, the more sneak attacks the Fengdu Army encounters. In the past ten days, the Fengdu Army has encountered more than a dozen night attacks from the Jiuyou Kingdom.
The flying thunder car of Jiuyou Kingdom rushed out of the night, and the roar it caused when it dived has become a psychological shadow in the hearts of the soldiers of this expeditionary force.
Moreover, Jiuyou Kingdom's air raids were all about hit and run without any entanglement. After a dive and bombing, they disappeared into the night without a trace.
Not only were the left and right wings and forward warships of the Fengdu Army already scarred before they reached Shuoyue Island. Either the masts were split into two pieces by the dazzling thunder and lightning shot out by the flying thunder vehicles, or the ship's planks were split into two pieces.
Many of the ships' sides and sides were damaged, and there were many warships riddled with holes.
As for the Beiyin Chaokong cavalry sent to chase the Jiuyou Army, they never came back.
Later, Gong Mingyi simply stopped sending troops to chase, and only conducted air defense at night. But it was Jiuyou Kingdom that succeeded, and the Fengdu Army could not even knock down a single flying thunder vehicle from the enemy.
Fortunately, there were not many night raids and they were not large in scale. The Fengdu Army and the warships had a numerical advantage. Otherwise, the Fengdu Army would have died on the vast sea of Minghai before they could move out.
It was a cloudy day, and there were three demon souls standing side by side on the bow of the ship on the flagship deck. In the middle was a goat-like beast soul, but it was a human standing upright, and its forelimbs were not hooves but human hands. A pair of curved ones were on its head.
The horns of the sheep shine with golden light under the light of the overcast sun.
This demonic soul wearing golden armor is the ghost golden sheep of the twenty-eight generals under Emperor Fengdu. The one on his left is a wild wolf standing on two legs and covered with gray fur. It is Kuimulang.
As for the one on the right, it is a fat rat spirit standing on two legs, named Xuri Rat.
These three demon spirits are all generals commanding Emperor Xuan's army under Emperor Fengdu. They used to guard the three continents in the north, but in order to trap Xiao Shizhu in the underworld this time, Emperor Fengdu also
They had no choice but to call in these ghost generals to assist Gong Mingyi to ensure absolute victory in the third siege of Shuoyue Island.
But the faces of these three demon souls were filled with worry.
Before going on the expedition, these three demon spirits, who had stayed in the Northland for a long time, were a little bit sitting in a well watching the sky. They all thought that Jiuyou Kingdom was just an over-mythified ghost country. In fact, the ghost soldiers were not that powerful. But when night fell, Jiuyou Kingdom
After the flying thunder chariots of the Chinese army roared towards the warships, spitting thunder and lightning, firing cannonballs and whizzing away, these three demon spirits were definitely wrong.
They had no way to deal with a sneak attack, let alone conquer Shuoyue Island, which was in the right place at the right time.
"We may not be able to defeat the defenders on Shuo Yue Island." The snow-white mustache on Xu Sun Shu's face trembled slightly. His small eyes narrowed, as if they were closed. If he didn't get closer to take a closer look, he would have already closed them.
You can't see that his eyes were narrowed to a slit, but they were actually open.
"I already expected it when we went to sea. To deal with such a ghost country, without their weapons, we will just send the army to die." The ghost golden sheep in the middle sneered: "But there is still a glimmer of hope. We ghost soldiers cannot
Fewer, definitely more than the defenders of Shuoyue Island. If we don't fight a protracted war, we can fight quickly. If our commander is more cunning, Shuoyue Island can still be captured. But if we want to hold it, His Majesty will have to send troops for reinforcements in time.
.”.
"Old Yang, your thinking is too simple. This is an expedition, not a local battle, and the battle line is so long. We all saw along the way that the sea area leading to Shuoyue Island was originally supplies for the imperial court.
The islands in the pass and the pass were all captured in advance by Jiuyou Kingdom." Kui Mulang, who had not spoken until now, also curled his lips and sneered.
Under the sea breeze, the sharp fangs exposed in the mouth shone coldly in the dark light.
Kui Mulang was the most sober among the three ghosts. He had not been dazzled by Emperor Fengdu's impassioned pre-war mobilization, nor had he completely become a frog in the well.
In the Northland, he read a lot of newspapers about Jiuyou Kingdom. Regarding this ghost country, Kui Mulang felt that he must isolate them first and wait until Jiuyou Kingdom was isolated and helpless before attacking.
But Emperor Fengdu not only did not do this, but also went around to conquer. Of course, this is also a way, but if Jiuyou Kingdom wins, the prestige of the Northern Yin Dynasty will only plummet.
Kui Mulang knew that Emperor Fengdu had been in sole control of the underworld for so long that he didn't even know that there were mountains beyond the mountains and there was a sky beyond the sky. He was too confident. He thought he could win by relying on his large number of soldiers. This made Kui Mulang
Wolf, and even less believe that the Fengdu regime has a 100% chance of winning the upcoming battle.
"But let's take care of our personnel and let each of us accept his destiny." Gui Jinyang chuckled and sighed: "The rest depends on how our coach will direct. If he is more capable, a few brothers will die less.
”.
As soon as they finished speaking, a fierce ghost walked over from behind them, stood beside them, bowed his hands and said, "Three generals, the commander-in-chief has invited you to come over."
After Gui Jinyang and the others hummed, they turned around and headed towards the cabin.
Along the way, these three demon souls did not say a word. It was not until they stood in the command room in the cabin that they reluctantly saluted Gong Mingyi, who was standing behind the sand table and staring at the sand table.
"The three of them are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. Shortly after the establishment of the Northern Yin Dynasty, they made great contributions to ensuring His Majesty's throne." Gong Mingyi didn't bother to look at them and asked sarcastically: "Since we are marching south and north.
I have fought in it and have a lot of combat experience, so why not tell me how to attack Shuoyue Island with such a small amount of bullets?"
He suddenly asked, and the three demon souls didn't know how to answer for a while. They could only frown and think, but no one spoke first.
They were somewhat dissatisfied with being ordered around by a nobody like Gong Mingyi. It was just out of soldier's instinct that they knew the war was for the imperial court and not Gong Mingyi, so they thought about it seriously.
"There are still three days at most, and we will arrive at Shuoyue Island in three days. But I thought about it, and first we have to pounce on it at night." After a long time, Gong Mingyi seemed to have lost his patience and couldn't wait for the three demon spirits to speak.
He was the first to break the silence and said: "The view at night is not conducive to us, nor is it conducive to the gunners and gunners of Jiuyou Country to shoot. Quickly surround the island and start the attack."
After a pause, Gong Mingyi added: "But how to fight after landing, it is best not to make any plans in advance."
