Chapter 485 Prologue

At the junction of Wu and Yue, millions of troops confront each other. Floating, unrecognizable corpses are occasionally seen in the river.

A few days ago, Wu's million elite soldiers attacked Yue, but they were ambushed by Yue, throwing away their helmets and armor, and less than half of the million elite soldiers escaped back.

After that, the Wu and Yue countries confronted each other along the border river, attacking from time to time, and each suffered casualties. In particular, the munitions and gunpowder formula left by the Shang Kingdom last time caused huge casualties to both sides.

Cultivators will be exhausted, and the cost of talismans is expensive; but gunpowder, there are no such problems at all! And ordinary people can participate in the production of gunpowder, shells and ordinary homemade artillery.

In just a few days, the war has changed. The artillery of both sides has increased rapidly, and the scenes of practitioners fighting head-on are rapidly decreasing.

There are more and more cannons, and the requirements for the cultivation and experience of the soldiers participating in the battle have also begun to decrease, so the number of people is also increasing; the final result is that the death is getting heavier and heavier.

I don't know when, there is a faint evil spirit rolling over the Wu and Yue countries. This kind of evil spirit is not the same evil spirit as last time, but there is a faint, catastrophic breath contained in it!

The general of the Wu State Navy, Dongfanghai, looked at the east at this time; according to the information received before, the fleet purchased by Wu State from the Kingdom of Shang should have returned this morning.

"A 10,000-ton warship and three 5,000-ton frigates! Just thinking about it makes me very excited."

"As long as these four warships return, it will be enough to reverse the disadvantages for the Wu Kingdom, and even counterattack the Yue Kingdom!"

Countless thoughts rolled in Dongfang Hai's mind, and there was an almost uncontrollable expectation in his heart. This morning, Dongfanghai asked generals at all levels to defend along the river, while he himself led a small number of elite soldiers to the beach to wait.

This behavior is a bit risky, but... worth it!

Suddenly, a floating light and shadow flickered on the surface of the Eastern Sea; Dongfang Hai's heart moved, and he stared at it, but it was a fleet, coming from afar.

"Here we come!" Dongfang Hai immediately flew up, ignoring any danger. The ships sailed relatively slowly, and it took more than two hours before the fleet finally approached the mouth of the river.

"Master!" Dongfang Hai shouted excitedly from far away. Seeing four warships that belonged to him with his own eyes really made Dongfang Hai excited. The four warships, like a steel imperial city on the sea, split the waves and rushed into the river.

Wu Daqian flew over, and seeing that there were only a few people in Dongfang Hai, he was stunned, "Just so few people? Quick, send more people to protect the warship first."

what what? Dongfang Hai was in a daze. I was still counting on the warship to reverse the disadvantage. I didn't expect soldiers to come to protect the warship after it docked?

The gap, don't be too big!

"Why are you still standing there!" Wu Daqian was in a hurry, "On the warship, we only have more than thirty people. It's not bad to be able to drive the warship back. You still want war!"

The Eastern Sea Monster let out a cry, and immediately flew back to the rear, urgently mobilizing some experts above the Jindan stage to rush to defend.

But by this time it was already a bit late, the troops from the Yue State had already arrived, and were ready to attack.

A general from the Yue Kingdom flew out, "Listen to the merchant ships behind, no matter where you come from or what you are doing, immediately withdraw from the battlefield, wait on the ocean, and wait for the end of the war. Otherwise, the war will be merciless!"

Standing on the bow of the ship, Wu Daqian saw Yue Guo coming to intercept him, and immediately ordered: "Hit me!"

Thirty people are not many, but they are all cultivators, and they can really display the power of a part of the warship. At the same time, some elites brought by Dongfang Hai also came to the warship to help. They are all cultivators, and after a short exchange of spiritual knowledge, these people can help, such as helping to load cannonballs and the like.

In the blink of an eye, war broke out between the two sides; the main guns of the four warships fired salvos, but the Yue army had already experienced it, and the army dispersed and rushed forward like a tide.

After the war these days, everyone has gradually figured out some ways to deal with arms.

Upon seeing this, Wu Daqian immediately ordered: "Return to the sea and wait for support!"

The warship immediately turned around and sailed towards the sea; fortunately, the warship had not completely entered the river, and soon went down the river and returned to the sea. After coming to the sea, the army of the Yue Kingdom had no choice but to stick to the seaside.

Yue Quxin, the general of the Yue State Navy, stared at it for a long time, and finally ordered: "Occupy the surrounding islands for me, and set up a magic circle. Remember, we will block Wu State's warships here no matter the cost!"

"General, how many days? At least give me some time, everyone knows." The military adviser next to him asked.

Close your eyes and forget about the music, "Nine days!"

"Okay!" The military division breathed a sigh of relief, nine days is not long. Although I don't know what the general's plan is, but it's only nine days.

The two sides began to confront each other. The army of Yue did not dare to go to sea, and the warships of Wu did not dare to enter the river.

Further back, Dongfang Hai, the naval general of the Wu State, was urgently mobilizing troops, but the Yue State had been prepared for a long time, and suddenly launched a general attack, trying to hold back Wu State's footsteps at all costs.

The situation suddenly became a mess; but the overall situation was very unfavorable to Wu Guo.

What is Vietnam going to do? Is it just to stop the warship? But is it too expensive to do so?

This time, Yue State launched a general offensive on its own initiative under the unfavorable terrain.

There is nothing dangerous on the small island to rely on. The artillery on the new warship has a range of more than 20 kilometers, and the island is constantly called out. From the rear, Wu Guo's army also slowly pushed over. The two sides had more than one million troops, and once again fought fiercely at the mouth of the river.

Ordinary ships, a large number of spells, bows and crossbows, and artillery that have begun to spread, are constantly confronting each other. The sounds of fighting and shouting even covered up the sound of explosions.

But this time, the country of Yue was attacked from the front and back, and the rear was also bombed by giant artillery from warships. The war was fought terribly.

After being so entangled for a long time, in the afternoon, Wu Daqian suddenly came to his senses, "No good! There is only one possibility for the Yue Kingdom to stop us at any cost, and that is...the Yue Kingdom also bought warships from the Shang Kingdom and is about to return.

Moreover, Yue's warships may be more, or even have sufficient combat effectiveness.

What's more, it is not ruled out that the Kingdom of Shang will "repay him with Li" and help the country of Yue in the war! "

Thinking of this possibility, Wu Daqian could no longer remain leisurely, "Send the order, turn around and head north!"

The two countries of Wu and Yue are countries with a radius of thousands of miles. Although the land is close to the sea and fragmented, it is also because of this that many rivers flow into the sea in the two countries.

The "Wujiang River" at the junction of the two countries is just the largest river in the two countries; it may be one of the largest rivers in the entire Yingzhou area, but it is not necessary to go here.

"Going north, we will return... at Jinjiang. Returning from Jinjiang, we can go directly to the imperial capital and Gusu City."

"Yes!" The men immediately turned around and headed north.

Originally, Wu Daqian also wanted to enter from the boundary river and Wujiang between Wuyue and Yue, so that warships could occupy the river, block and attack the advance of Yue. But now he had no choice but to return to Jinjiang. In this way, the strategic advantage and deployment will be lost.

But at this time, I can't care about these anymore.

The fleet turned around and headed north, Dongfang Hai, general of Wu Guoshui army, breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Quxin, the navy general of the Yue Kingdom, sighed. That's good, at least it can reduce some casualties of the soldiers.

However, in this short but fierce battle, the two sides once again paid tens of thousands of casualties. Such casualties made everyone feel heavy and sad. The emergence of arms made the army's fighting style more inclined to pure killing.

But at this moment, above the Wu and Yue countries, there is an evil spirit that cannot be directly seen by the naked eye, but it is spreading; and this evil spirit gradually spreads and merges into the sky above Yingzhou. The shroud of evil spirit made the sun look extra rosy, which seemed to add a bit of indescribable cuteness.

Ordinary people couldn't detect these slight changes; but in the imperial capitals of various countries, in the Temple of Heaven, the personnel in charge of national sacrifices all sighed.

Even here in the Kingdom of Shang, Ling Zhifeng did divination urgently. "The aura of the catastrophe has gradually become stronger, and it has not gradually dissipated like in the past.

Since the warning sign appeared at sunset after the cultivation conference, the evil spirit between heaven and earth has increased by 10%. Such a speed is really... worrying! "

"Did the result be terrible?" Li Xian asked. This is the result of Li Xian's concern. Wars and catastrophes are unavoidable things; what Li Xian is concerned about is the situation of the Shang Kingdom.

"Ah... forgot, I'll go to divination again..." Ling Zhifeng ran away.

Seeing him next to him, Xu Ren couldn't help reminding: "Master, for divination of bad omens, you can find Miao Congrong, an astrologer who likes to pretend to be a Taoist priest. Miao Congrong is very accurate in divination of bad omens."

Li Xian nodded, "Chen Jinbing, please invite Miao Congrong and Ge Zhengfeng."
