Although Heifeng Island (Gulang Island) was occupied by Xiao for a short time, it was only one and a half months in total. In order to facilitate the war in Luoxia port, Liu Yafu still requisitioned civilian men and used his magic power when he was stationed on the island. At the inland river port entering the sea gate, he built a new dry dock and several workshops so that he could repair the war damaged warships.
Chen Hai led Heifeng Shui division to take over Heifeng island again. While reorganizing prisoners of war and expanding the three camps of Heifeng Shui division to 3000 soldiers, he also reorganized 2000 craftsmen recruited from Luoxia port into baggage camps, forging xuanyang heavy front arrows day and night at the first time.
Zhou Wanqing also wanted to cast the heavy bore crossbow, but the arrow array box, the core component of the heavy bore crossbow, is equivalent to a yellow top-grade magic weapon. Even if a Mingqiao craftsman refines an arrow array box, it will take a month. This thing needs to be done, but it is not the most urgent thing at present. It''s over for now.
Of course, although Chen Hai said that he only recruited two thousand ordinary craftsmen from the port of Xia Xia, but at this time Zhou''s withdrawal from the nine counties and the disciples of Chu Yu palace who followed Zhou Qing Qing did not lack the basic skills of the Ming orifices and the spiritual realm. Finally, six of the Ming orifices intermediate refiners and sixty of the craftsmen of the early Ling Dynasty were assigned to the Chen Hai camp.
When Liu Yafu abandoned the island and fled, don''t mention taking away other materials. Even his ship Xuejiao was abandoned on Heifeng island. Chen Hai used the four small furnaces with flame gathering array abandoned by Liu Yafu and sent by the Zhou family to smelt 100000 Jin of xuanyang iron every day, which can cast nearly 40000 xuanyang heavy front arrows.
Chen Hai predicts that Xiao Jiang will be able to support the troops only after Xiao ruohai leads the main rebel force to dig the Zixiao mountain channel. Then he can cast at least 400000 xuanyang heavy front arrows on Heifeng island. Compared with a war in Yanzhou, it often consumes millions of heavy front arrows, which is not much, but it also adds a lot of combat power to defend the island.
On the fifth day of the fall of Beijin City, Chen Hai was in the garrison of Heifeng island city with a piece of paper. Zhu Mingwei and Wei Han came together and saluted Chen Hai: "governor, at present, the refining of xuanyang Chongfeng arrow has been on the right track, but I see that there has been no movement in Xiaojiang''s fleet. Is there any other plan?"
Chen Hai put down his pen and said: "Xiao ruohai is as powerful as a bamboo. After abandoning Heifeng Island, he was forced to withdraw from Xiaojiang outside Luoxia port. Life is not so easy, but he really dares to come rashly. At this time, he may not be able to get any benefits. I think ah, Xiao Jiang may be hesitating at this time. However, it is really not a way to let them drag on like this. We have to find a way to stimulate him in order to achieve division and attack..."
Zhu Mingwei doesn''t know what chance Zhou has to turn over at this time, but Chen Hai is not flustered. He doesn''t think much. The thieves are powerful. If they can''t fight, they don''t have to fight for the nine prefectures and the Zhou family!
Chen Hai asked Zhu Mingwei and Wei Han to go out to deal with things first, frowning and thinking about the war situation in front of him.
Zhou has spread the news of Xiao''s destruction of spiritual channels and massacre of civilians these days. However, as Zhou Bin and Feng Yichen had expected in advance, there could be no substantive action to wait and see the counties.
Zhou sent an envoy to Konghai city. At this time, good news came.
Kong Hai City was still hesitant at this time. Several core elders did not want to directly participate in the tragic war, but agreed to secretly provide some supplies for Zhou
Chen Hai opened the map of Fusang sea area. He marked all the naval forces of the main forces in Fusang sea on the map:
The Ping Navy under the jurisdiction of leiyangzong has 200 dragon finch class warships and 300000 elite sailors, which can be said to be the strongest combat power in the Fusang sea area; the dangtao army in Konghai city has 180 dragon finch class warships and 260000 sailors.
Xiao Jiang was originally one of the naval governors of the nine prefectures, integrating his own forces, Liuyun sect, pirates and other affiliated forces. At this time, Xiao''s rebels had more than 90 warships above Longque level and 120000 sailors.
At this time, the Navy under the command of Xiaojiang accounted for almost three-quarters of the total strength of the rebel Navy. If Xiaojiang''s headquarters could be seriously damaged or even destroyed, the situation of the nine prefectures would not be unable to change before Lei Yangzong''s Navy directly participated in the war.
However, Xiao Jiang is such a cautious man. How can he rush out like a wolf?
Chen Hai is also thinking hard about this problem.
After the disintegration of the nine prefectures, the Navy combat power that Zhou''s remnant family could control was actually the Fu Jiao army stationed in Luoxia port and closely controlled by Zhou. It was once the strongest navy combat power in the nine prefectures.
Although the main force of troops and horses controlled by Zhou''s remnant clan retreats southward, and the navy of Fujiao army can fill in a large number of elite troops and horses, the warships above Longque level and able to withstand large storms and waves need to carry a load of no less than 2 million kg. Only a water defense array above intermediate level can drive at full load and high speed. It also needs a protection array above four column demon killing array to meet the enemy, but it is not so easy to build.
At present, Zhou has less than 40 Longque class regular warships in Luoxia port. Even if some large merchant ships are urgently requisitioned for transformation, the number of warships is still less than that of Xiaojiang.
The Heifeng Shui division only has two Longque class warships, the black shark and the blood butcher, and a qingluan class warship, the blood jiao (with a load of 6 million kilograms) To tell the truth, a regular warship only needs 3000 elite Marines. However, in order to calm the hearts of Yang Yin and Huang Zhan, Chen Hai does not want Yang Yin and Huang Zhan to leave with their subordinates. Chen Hai expands the camp directly commanded by the three men to 3000 according to the proportion, and then divides them into Marine Corps under the three camps.
Beijin city has become a dead end, but the gorge road entering Beijin city from the north is blocked by a broken peak, a large number of horse soldiers and materials cannot pass through, and the main force of Xiao''s soldiers and horses can''t go south for the time being.
Xiaojiang led his troops to stop on an unnamed desert island 1200 Li from sunset island and 1500 Li from Heifeng island.
The depth of the desert island is too small. It is only more than ten miles around. There are no mountains and peaks. Once swept by thunderstorms, it will be razed to the ground. Therefore, the island is also deserted and populated. Apart from occasionally serving as a foothold for pirates or maritime merchants, no force will occupy and operate the island.
Xiaojiang doesn''t have to settle here, but there is no more suitable place to settle down from the island to Heifeng island. Except for directly attacking Heifeng island or Luoxia Island, Xiaojiang doesn''t dare to drift in the open sea for a long time.
Don''t say that a huge wave of more than 100 meters will consume the spiritual strength of the array mage. If you unfortunately encounter a black wind and thunderstorm, the whole fleet may be destroyed. What else to talk about annihilating the remaining enemy?
Xiao Jiang, as always, monitors the movements of Heifeng island and Luoxia port on his flagship. Liu Yafu and his nephew Xiao Feiyu have to ask for war and urge to attack Heifeng island all day. Xiao Jiang is very annoyed.
Xiao Jiang can understand that Xiao Feiyu is young and vigorous, unwilling to make no achievements and eager to make contributions, but Liu Yafu''s mind is not so simple.
After the fall of Beijin City, Xiao became the leader of the nine prefectures, which is a matter of certainty. However, as far as Lei Yangzong is concerned, they may not want to see Xiao, who successfully annihilated the Zhou family and usurped the whole nine prefectures, grow up. Perhaps they hope that Xiao and Zhou will lose both, and will be unconditionally and forever attached to Lei Yangzong in the future.
Xiao Jiang could guess Liu Yafu''s plan on behalf of Lei Yangzong, but he wouldn''t break it. At this time, a squire hurried in and said, "report to the governor, the general Sentry is back!"
"OK, please invite him in!" Xiao Jiang said excitedly and asked Liao Yunkai, the chief sentinel and the supreme elder of Liuyun sect, to come in.
Although the magic weapon Liuyun camera can sense the breath and movement within a thousand miles, it still needs to send someone to dive to the nearby area for reconnaissance if you want to clearly know the every move of sunset port and Heifeng island.
Liao Yunkai, the chief sentry officer, came in and arched Xiao Jiang, Liu Yafu and Xiao Feiyu, the third son of Xiao ruohai, who was lower than him in the army. He took out an ancient mirror from the storage ring, emitted a light, and slowly unfolded a light curtain in the center of the cabin. The light curtain showed the situation in Luoxia port.
Through the light curtain, Xiao Jiang and Liu Yafu can see dozens of huge ships docked in the port, and a large number of young men and women are dragging their families and carrying their mouths on board.
We can tell from the clothes and delicate appearance of these young men and women that they are the legitimate children of the Zhou nationality who moved south from Yuncheng to Luoxia port two days ago. They have not experienced any storms and have lived happily since childhood. At this time, the wharf is in chaos. If there were no owls who bravely pressed the soldiers, a large number of civilians and the children of the Zhou nationality or other affiliated clans flocked to the wharf, I''m afraid we''re going to cross the cordon and get on board.
Of course, there are also people who are not in control, but these people have become hundreds of decapitated bodies hanging over the wharf.
"The city of Luoxia harbor has been in chaos. It is said everywhere that the Zhou family abandoned civilians and their children and fled with their legitimate children and elite combat forces. The night before yesterday, Zhou Bin personally came forward and led his troops to kill thousands of people, which calmed down the riots in the city. But today, when he saw the legitimate children of the Zhou family and a large number of materials boarding the ship, there was chaos inside and outside the city. Many people were afraid that the general would seize Luoxia If Hong Kong slaughters the city again, they can''t board the ship. They all flee to the mountains and forests on both wings, "said Liao Yunkai, the chief sentry officer." second general, do you want to attack Luoxia port now, or just wait for the Zhou family to escape and then take over Luoxia port, or do you have to make a decision early! "
"What''s the status of Heifeng island?" Xiao Jiang saw that Liu Yafu and Xiao Feiyu were eager to try and ran up to fight again. His eyes were cold and continued to ask Liao Yunkai.
"Zhou Yinnv is considerate to the Cang Yazi of unknown origin. It''s not enough to confer her as the governor of Heifeng Shui Normal University. Two days ago, she transferred 10000 elite soldiers to Heifeng island for his command." Liao Yunkai put a dark light into the bronze mirror in mid air, and saw that the light curtain picture changed, and Heifeng Island showed its delicacy. Although the mountains around the island are not high, However, the thunderfall was not conducive to the passage of a large number of soldiers and horses. In the direction of the sea gate, on the low mountains on both sides connecting the main inland river port, and then a simple earth retaining wall was built. It can be seen that Chen Hai, the new governor of Heifeng Shui division of the Zhou nationality, is a general who knows soldiers and is good at fighting. Judging from his layout, it should be to prevent him from cutting through the sea gate and recapturing Heifeng island!
"Second general, if you don''t take action at this time, let the 80 or 90 ships loaded with 300000 or 400000 Zhou''s children and elite combat power be thrown into the air and Sea city, I''m afraid there''s no way to explain to the general?" Liu Yafu said in a deep voice.
Xiao Jiang glanced at Liu Yafu and thought, I''m afraid at this time, leiyangzong doesn''t want Zhou to go to empty Haicheng
At this time, Lei Yangzong''s power is stronger than Konghai City, but it is also limited. Once Zhou Wanqing leads the 300000 or 400000 elite of the Zhou family to attach Konghai City, Konghai city will have two strong Tianwei territory. The number of strong people in Daotai territory and daodan territory and the scale of their elite combat power will surpass Lei Yangzong. Is this what Lei Yangzong wants to see.
It''s true that Xiao didn''t want Zhou''s remnant family to escape smoothly, but it''s more important to preserve Xiao''s effective strength than to annihilate Zhou''s remnant family, so as to ensure a certain position in the future three islands chaos and not completely become a vassal of leiyangzong.
If that''s the case, why did Xiao''s family betray the Zhou family after plotting for so long?
"I have my own plan," said Xiao Jiang, glancing at Liu Yafu unhappily. "We will set sail to attack Heifeng Island immediately!"
"Attack Heifeng island at this time?" Liu Yafu''s heart was half cold, but he suggested that Xiao Jiang lead the Department to seize Heifeng Island first, but at this time, at that time, Zhou was not in chaos in Luoxia port, and there was no sign of abandoning Hong Kong urgently. Therefore, he suggested to seize Heifeng Island first and monitor every move of Luoxia port nearby, but now Zhou is going to raise his family and flee, They went to attack Heifeng island at this time, didn''t they want Zhou to escape faster?
Xiao Jiang stopped and said unquestionably: "I was afraid that if I attacked Heifeng Island rashly, Fu Jiao''s army would attack us. Now the sunset port is in a mess. Zhou''s heart is to flee, and he can''t take Heifeng island into account. In this way, it''s the best time for us to win Heifeng island. Zhou''s mess is that they put a lot of materials, people and horses into the ship, which is seriously overloaded. Even if they escape, they can''t escape quickly , even if we don''t have to do it, we may capsize in the storm. After we win Heifeng Island, we have time to chase last week''s fleeing fleet! "
Liu Yafu sighed in his heart. He knew that Xiao Jiang still didn''t dare to confront the navy of Fujiao army, which was further strengthened by the escape of the Zhou nationality. At this time, he chose the soft persimmon of Heifeng island. He just didn''t want to be scolded by Xiao ruohai and Lei Yangzong for his fear of war.
What a greedy old fox!
Liu Yafu''s elite troops are lost, and only more than 100 people are available. Seeing Xiao Jiang''s determination, he can''t reverse Xiao Jiang''s will!
