The combat plan had been drawn up, and Han Fulai called in a few messengers to begin arranging the next combat mission.
"Give an order to all centurions. After the landing operation begins, all teams must act according to the semaphore of the Ruicheng. No one is allowed to retreat without authorization. According to the mercenary contract we signed, if there is anyone who retreats without permission according to the order, the entire team will be
10% of the salary will be deducted. If two people retreat without authorization, 20% of the entire team’s salary will be deducted. If ten people retreat without authorization, the entire team’s salary will be deducted!”
"Manager Han, what if twenty people retreat without permission?"
"If 20 people from a certain team retreat without permission, all the soldiers in the team will owe the Haiya Chamber of Commerce 6,000 yuan of spiritual stone coins! Tell everyone that our Haiya Chamber of Commerce has debts that must be repaid. If you don't want your family to be slaves for generations, you'd better not
I owe the Haiya Chamber of Commerce a penny!"
"I'll deliver it right away!"
"The width of the front beach is limited, and only ten large merchant ships can be deployed at most. After the landing operation begins, all ships will land in order according to the semaphore. Then you give me all the ballistae and place them on the ships in the rear. Wait for the landing troops.
Provide cover!”
"As you command!"
"Also, send someone to write a letter to the coalition forces on the outlying islands, asking them to attack the enemy from behind immediately after we launch the attack."
"What if the offshore coalition forces refuse to cooperate with our actions?"
"Then our Haiya Department has fulfilled its obligations. In the end, it is up to them to bear all the consequences of the fall of the outlying island!"
"I see!"
…
Although Han Fulai was evil-minded and ruthless, he was really capable of doing things and arranged the command work in an orderly manner.
As Han Fulai's orders continued to be issued, the entire Haiya Fleet began to make final preparations before the battle. However, looking from the direction of the Guhong Island Camp, the Haiya Fleet seemed to have fallen into an eerie silence, neither attacking nor attacking.
There is no retreat.
This made Tian Beixi a little confused.
It stands to reason that with the core disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect and Yufeng Sect dead and one injured, they have lost the direct threat to herself and the Guhong Island army. The Haiya Fleet should either choose to fight with all its strength, or it should turn around and run away. How could they?
Are you pretending to continue to work hard again?
Unable to understand the tactics of the Haiya Fleet, Tian Beixi immediately ordered people to bring the tied-up Ji Sihan up again, and asked repeatedly: "Manager Ji, now that the cultivators of the Wuliang Sword Sect are dead, who is in charge of the Haiya Fleet?
?”
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Although Ji Sihan was very unhappy with Tian Beixi, in the face of her aggressive attitude, he had no choice but to endure the immediate loss and answered honestly: "The commander-in-chief of the Haiya Fleet should be Han Fulai, the head of the Ocean Trade Department of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce!
"
"Han Fulai? He is the mortal steward of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, this person is the nephew of Han Xinhe, the elder of the Haiya Sect Law Enforcement Hall. He has been working for the Haiya Sect for more than ten years. It is said that he is a very capable guy and has a high status in the Han family. But I heard that this person
He is also a greedy person!"
As a capitalist, it would be strange not to be greedy!
But why did this well-established interest representative of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce want to fight with him at all costs? Since he was planning to fight for his own life, why did he push Lin Dong out to die?
Lin Dong is a new generation of talented star of the Wuliang Sword Sect. No matter what the reason is for him to come to die, the Wuliang Sword Sect cannot let it go easily. Considering that Lin Dong's death just now was very strange, Tian Beixi always feels that he
Something went wrong...
"No, the Haiya Fleet must be planning something!"
Seeing Tian Beixi's confused look, Ji Sihan couldn't help but taunted: "Didn't Fairy Tian claim that she has all the control over the outlying island? Why can't she understand now?"
Tian Beixi was not angry because of the ridicule of mortals, but asked casually: "Does Manager Ji already understand?"
Seeing that his ridicule could not anger Tian Beixi at all, Ji Sihan laughed at himself and said: "I didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, but I am not unfamiliar with this feeling of not being able to figure out the other party's tricks at all!
"
"What do you mean?"
"Yang Lu, the new steward of our Qingning Chamber of Commerce, gives me this feeling every time he does work!"
"Then what?"
"Then...every time he would solve the problem in a way that I could never imagine!"
"But didn't he still fail to catch you in the end?"
Ji Sihan chuckled and said quite contentedly: "That's because I can detect danger in advance every time and dare to cut off my wrist! If you feel the same way, I sincerely suggest that you withdraw to Huoyunzhou immediately and stop your losses quickly!"
Just when Tian Beixi was about to open his mouth to refute, the sound of pattering rain could be heard outside his temporary camp.
It's raining?
As the "inventor" of gunpowder, Tian Beixi naturally knows that gunpowder is afraid of water.
Although the world of cultivation also has [Water-Bearing Art] and [Water-Bearing Immortal Formation], because there is no aura environment on the outlying island, the ordinary fairy formation cannot work properly, and the spiritual energy consumed by constantly activating the Water-Bearing Art cannot be replenished, so it is buried
Gunpowder in the ground can easily become wet and deteriorate due to rainwater infiltration.
In order to solve this problem, Tian Beixi used tarps to store a large amount of spare gunpowder in a warehouse at the rear. After the rain stopped, the wet gunpowder was replaced with dry spare gunpowder at the rear. Although this approach is very wasteful
Materials are used, but it is easy to operate and has a high fault tolerance rate.
After all, gunpowder is just a mortal thing. No matter how expensive it is, it can't compare to cultivation materials. What's more, Huoyun State has always been rich in pyrite. The gunpowder raw materials shipped by a merchant ship are enough to fight a dozen medium-sized wars, so there is only a waste of it.
wasted.
Just when Tian Beixi was about to leave to check the status of the gunpowder warehouse, Shi Yi, the owner of Guhong Island, rushed in in a hurry: "Fairy Tian, something serious has happened. The soldiers of the Haiya Fleet seem to have started to move towards the tidal flat!"
This news stunned Tian Beixi on the spot.
The Haiya Fleet actually chose the most unfavorable attack method of attacking in the rain?
Could it be that they also know the weakness of gunpowder?
Tian Beixi's first reaction was that President Lu taught the method of making gunpowder to the Wuliang Sword Sect, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt wrong. Since the Wuliang Sword Sect has long known the weakness of gunpowder, why didn't Lin Dong take any precautions against gunpowder just now?
If the Wuliang Sword Sect knows the secret of gunpowder, there is no reason why Lin Dong, the core disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect, should not know it!
Although Tian Beixi thought he had a high level of insight, he was a bit confused when faced with this completely unreasonable situation.
From a rational point of view, she should listen to Ji Sihan's opinion.
When you can't figure out the enemy's tactics, the best choice is to retreat immediately. However, cutting off one's arms is an anti-human decision. It's like stopping losses in the stock market. Most people can't do it in advance before the results are known.
Choose to admit defeat.
The reason why Ji Sihan was able to repeatedly thwart He Mingyuan's pursuit was because his decisiveness was far beyond that of ordinary people, or in other words, this person had a strong ability to stop losses.
Although Tian Beixi is not a straw bag, she is still just a girl in her twenties, and she is arrogant. From the fact that she just tried to risk Lin Dong's desperate blow, it can be seen that her gambling spirit is actually quite strong.
It's really difficult for her to give in before the fight starts like an old fritter like Ji Sihan.
