"kill!"
"Kill!"
"Revenge, pay for my brother's life..."
Screams, fights, screams, and howls of death float over a beautiful water town with gurgling green water and star-studded emerald islands. Bloody water stained the river red; corpses and broken ship boards blocked the river. The island that was once as beautiful as a pearl and as beautiful as a star has become a mess.
All wood and bamboo forests worth using have been cut down! Even if you don't use it yourself, you can't leave it to the enemy. In fact, at this moment, these islands are already bare.
The magic has devastated the land, and the evil spirit brought by the war has caused the extinction of birds and beasts for hundreds of miles. Even the fish are unwilling to stay in this place.
In the sky above the battlefield, Wu Daqian, the commander of the Navy of the State of Wu, and Yu Aixian, the commander of the Navy of the State of Yue, looked at each other from a distance.
Even from a long distance, you can see the flames in the eyes of both sides - the flames of war, anger, and the arrogance of not admitting defeat, as well as a kind of vindictiveness of matching opponents.
The sound of shouting and killing below was loud, and the ships shuttled back and forth, either assaulting or breaking through, or outflanking or fighting.
There are battlefields for masters, but most of them are in the Qi refining period and part of the foundation building period. And those in the foundation building stage can't fly and fight for a long time, otherwise the exhausted foundation building stage might have their neck cut by the Qi refining stage. In this tens of thousands of wars, the power of an individual is so small.
In other words, in the past month of fighting, the masters of both sides have been exhausted, the Jindan stage has suffered heavy losses, and the Nascent Soul stage has also suffered considerable losses. The hatred between the two sides for an unknown number of years has been completely ignited.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and this water town cannot accommodate two huge empires. However, the two sides are evenly matched, and they cannot eliminate each other, so they can only continue to stand in a stalemate; in the stalemate, the battle casualties continue one after another, and the hatred has accumulated year after year, which is already "hard to return".
In other words, more than a month ago, fishermen from the two countries clashed on a desolate island on the border between Wu and Yue, and found a barren black iron ore vein here. Suddenly, the two countries were alarmed!
Afterwards, conflicts began to unfold, and the moment the two sides clashed, the master of the Nascent Soul stage died. Suddenly, the hatred accumulated for thousands of years broke out!
There is hatred, and there is more contention for black iron mines, and the war is out of control. In this resource-poor era, a barren black iron vein is enough to double or even tenfold the power of a country-as long as all the masters of cultivation are equipped with magic weapons, their combat capabilities will definitely soar.
It is conceivable that under such circumstances, the war between the two countries will be like this.
Today, the State of Wu charged forward, repulsed the enemy, and quickly dug the ore veins; tomorrow, the State of Yue fought back again, and quickly began to dig the ore veins! In such a state, the two sides launched a life-and-death confrontation around this small island.
After more than ten days of the war, everyone suddenly discovered that this dark iron vein is not a lean mine, but a low-grade, large-scale mine that accidentally escaped ancient mining, and its reserves are quite considerable! With the small island as the center, several lean mines were discovered. Now, the two sides can't let go!
In just one month, the two sides invested a total of tens of thousands of ships and millions of soldiers to start the battle on this small island. The battlefield stretched for hundreds of miles. The shouts of killing continued for a month, and they fought day and night.
And as the war here progresses, a full-scale war between the two sides has already started. Along the nearly 10,000-mile border between the two sides, the two sides each invested more than five million soldiers to start a fight.
The core of the war is the black iron ore vein.
Over the course of a month, nearly tens of millions of soldiers from both sides fought, and the deaths were innumerable. I don't know how many ordinary people and fishermen were killed. Most of the land of Wu and Yue is in a world of islands, especially at the junction of the two sides, where several big rivers flow into the sea, and there are countless large and small islands and alluvial islets. There is no way to know how many people live on them. statistics.
In such an environment, once a large-scale war breaks out, it is almost impossible for the people on the island to escape.
However, once the hatred between the two countries broke out for thousands of years, coupled with the stimulation of the black iron mines, and the new hatred accumulated by the continuous accumulation of casualties, the war continued to escalate.
In the end, the war was so fierce that ordinary generals could not control the overall situation. The "marshals of the navy" of the two countries, almost equivalent to the captains of ordinary countries, personally sat at the core of the battlefield, which is the battlefield where the black iron veins were discovered.
After a while, a messenger ran to the front of Wu Daqian, the commander of the Wu State Navy: "Report, the West Route Army can't stop it, and the Yue State suddenly launched a crazy attack, tearing a hole regardless of the cost."
At the same time, Yu Aixian, the commander-in-chief of the Yue State Navy, also received bad news: "Report, the East Route Army can't stop it, Wu State suddenly dispatched elites to raid the East, the Eastern Army was torn apart, there are already 30,000 people Casualties! Call for help!"
Then, dozens of miles away, Wu Daqian and Yu Aixian said at the same time: "Old fox!"
This situation has been going on for a long time. After thousands of years of confrontation, everyone knows what methods they have. War skills, tools, wisdom, etc., are similar on both sides, leaving only a contest of will to fight. Therefore, the war has basically become a war of attrition, and it depends on who can't stand it first.
On the battlefield that spread for hundreds of miles, there were battlefields everywhere, and there was no place of peace. Perhaps, many soldiers and low-level generals have forgotten why they fight. At this moment, they are just fighting numbly, fighting for anger, fighting for hatred, and fighting for their own survival.
Does war make sense? Such a question is too lofty for a soldier! Survival is the most practical issue.
High in the sky, the naval commanders of the two countries looked at each other from a distance, and the distance of tens of miles could not stop the eyes of the Nascent Soul stage masters; various expressions such as anger, contest, hatred, etc. were mixed in the eyes of the two. After years of fighting, the two commanders also lost their family members on the battlefield; the hatred has already solidified like a rock and cannot be dissolved.
The war is still going on, you come and go, and you think hard; although the war wisdom and military strength of the two sides are almost the same, everyone still racks their brains to come up with some kind of strategy, military strategy, etc. to win. Every point of advantage must be striven for, and only by accumulating small amounts can there be hope of victory.
Even the naval commanders of the two countries staring at each other at high altitude has become a different kind of contest-see who gets tired and timid first!
Suddenly, reinforcements arrived from the Yue State in the south. Yu Aixian, the commander-in-chief of the Yue State Navy, had a smile on his face, it was a triumphant smile, and it was also a mocking smile.
Wu Daqian, the commander of the Wu Guoshui Army, was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked carefully at the reinforcements that appeared. At first, the distance was very far, and it was hard to see clearly, only a shadow of a boat could be seen. After all, the battlefield is too big, stretching for hundreds of miles; the logistics and supply front is even longer.
But gradually, Marshal Wu Guoshui began to narrow his eyes. These ships that suddenly appeared were extraordinarily huge! There are about 500 of these ships, and each ship is about 20 feet long (60 to 70 meters). There are actually a large number of crossbow beds on the ships, which are bulky but extremely powerful city defense crossbows!
This kind of bulky and powerful crossbow is enough to shoot through the defenses of the foundation-building stage head-on, and it is enough to severely injure the masters of the golden core stage who have insufficient defense. Cultivators are of course powerful, but those who make these weapons are also craftsmen of comprehensionists! Human beings have an almost instinctive pursuit of killing weapons—perhaps, this is an alternative continuation of the survival instinct.
In addition, the surface of each ship has protective formations of light. Perhaps these formations are not very powerful, but they can create obstacles for the attackers and buy a little time for the defenders to react.
More than a dozen soldiers were using spells to propel the ship forward. More than 500 ships stretched for more than 30 miles in this vast island world, as if a city wall was crushing it. The large ship of more than twenty feet is almost the pinnacle of a wooden warship; the huge hull rolled over the muddy water surface with countless sundries floating on it, and charged forward!
On the ship, the city defense crossbow had already been wound, and the gleaming, arm-thin crossbow shone with the brilliance of death, shining in the sun. There are also countless small crossbow beds, continuous crossbows, etc. lined up, and the arrows have been wound up one by one, making the ship look like a hedgehog.
Where the ship passed, there was muddy mud, pale corpses, debris, etc. The soldiers of Yue State cheered wildly; they seemed to see victory.
But the soldiers of Wu State, when they saw so many large ships approaching from a distance, their hearts were suddenly clouded, and fear began to spread. Facing these big ships and the powerful crossbows on the ships, the Wu soldiers who were caught in the slaughter finally woke up; and once they woke up from the war, fear would hit their hearts.
High in the sky, Yu Aixian, commander of the navy of Yue State, looked from afar at his opponent Wu Daqian, commander of the navy of Wu State, who seemed to have a distorted expression, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.
In order to build this navy, the Yue Kingdom also exhausted all their efforts and fortified and kept it secret; of course, such a navy also consumed almost all the wealth of the navy's military headquarters. It was a desperate, and a huge gamble.
This was a gamble that had to be made. It had only been one month since the outbreak of the all-out war, and the wealth accumulated by the Wu and Yue countries over the years had been wiped out. Therefore, Yue Guo gritted his teeth and made these big ships.
Before contact, the Wu Guo Navy began to retreat; but on the densely packed battlefield, it is easy to advance and difficult to retreat!
Moving forward is easy because the front is dead and empty. It is difficult to retreat, because there is still a large army pressing on the rear.
What's more, if you want to retreat, you need to turn around, and it takes time for the large army to fight.
Wu Daqian, the commander of the Wu State's water army, sent experts to intercept and destroy the ships, but the State of Yue was already prepared, and some experts came out to intercept them.
Time slipped away little by little, spells covered the sky and the sun was covered, and the ground screamed and killed; but with the arrival of more than 500 ships from Yue State, Wu State's front line began to collapse.
There are more than 500 ships, all of which are three-storey ships. Each attack is made up of thousands of powerful crossbows and tens of thousands of ordinary crossbows. Each attack is a dark cloud composed of one crossbow. Bring unimaginable casualties.
Many ships in Wu State were directly shot through by the crossbow, and some ships were even nailed in place by the crossbow; and the people who were shot by the crossbow, even those in the Jindan stage, were rarely spared—in this chaotic world On the battlefield, it is impossible for Jin Danqi to defend against the crossbow honestly; after all, battles are going on at any time!
After the 500-plus ships joined, just half an hour later, Wu's front line began to collapse.
Seeing this, Yu Aixian, the commander of the Yue State Navy, immediately ordered, "The fleet should not go deep alone, and move strategically to attack the defense line of Wu State in the east. Order the new music, and lead a hundred thousand elite to take over the defense line here, and continue to move forward." Attack. Pay attention, fight steadily, and be careful that the opponent lures the enemy deep, outflanks and ambush!"
The battle continued, but with this powerful new force, the advantage of Yue State was getting bigger and bigger. Wu State's front line was torn apart in three places, causing tens of thousands of casualties. The front line is already in jeopardy.
Wu Daqian, the commander of the Wu Guoshui Army, was anxious. He was planning to lure the enemy to go deeper, but he didn't expect that the opponent would not be fooled, or that this was already expected. Seeing this, Wu Daqian immediately issued a new order, "The army on the East Road will withdraw and concentrate its main force to attack the new fleet of Yue State.
Tell the generals of all parties that the Yue Kingdom cannot be given time to set up camp and attack day and night, otherwise the Yue Kingdom's army will be stationed, and we are likely to lose control of the black iron veins. "
"Yes!" The orderly was busy passing information. On the battlefield, life is like cicadas, withering piece by piece.
Sunset and sunrise, it is already the second day, yet the war has not stopped all night; in fact, the war has not stopped since it broke out a month ago! However, it was even more intense last night.
In the one-night conflict, only about 450 of the more than 500 new ships from the Yue Kingdom were left, and more than 50 large ships disappeared in the war last night. However, Wu Guo also suffered heavy casualties. The surface of the water was already dark red!
