Chapter 1328 Who Is It?

"Puffy—"

The heavy artillery on the side of the battleship kept firing, tongues of flame spit out on the sea surface, and then the artillery shells exploded, causing a group of undead giants to retreat again and again, but they only hurt. This level of offensive is for these giants. Some seemed to be scratching an itch. At the same time, fire hawks kept coming down from the sky, and the archers on the battleship shot one by one with their bows, and they were all killed in a blink of an eye.

"Steady!"

The admiral on the deck wore a dragon battle armor, pointed the blade forward in his hand, and shouted: "The second team of warships attack from the flanks, and shoot in a row. The archers pay attention to the air targets!"

The formation of the fleet is constantly changing, sometimes vertical, sometimes oblique, sometimes geese, and sometimes circular, just like this, constantly resisting the opponent's continuous creation of land, but the overall strength is far from that of the Strange Demon Army, just in the sea , there are already countless ghouls and ghost soldiers swimming in, about to attack the fleet at close range.

"Asshole!"

The admiral on the deck held his sword and shouted: "The spearmen and sword shields went down to the cabin, ready to attack the enemy from both sides of the cabin. The whole fleet retreated slowly and extended the distance. Don't let them attack too easily. "

"Yes, Lord Commander!"

...

At this moment, huge monsters slowly appeared in the sea in the distance. They were covered with fish scales, and they were strong and tall. They just rose from the bottom of the sea. Holding huge stalagmites from the bottom of the sea, they threw them out one by one. For a while, the boulders turned in the air and went straight to the human fleet.

"Boom boom boom~~~"

The loud noises continued, some stalagmites fell into the sky, causing huge waves all over the sky, and some stalagmites fell directly on the battleships. Some small and medium-sized ironclad ships were severely damaged and sunk almost instantly, and some giant wooden battleships with sails were destroyed. To make matters worse, it was cut off at the waist, and countless sailors cried out for help in the water. In a blink of an eye, the water surface was covered with broken wood and people calling for help.

My heart is heavy, this fleet is the strongest East China Sea Fleet of the Xuanyuan Empire, and the commander of the fleet, that is, the general on the deck, has also met once or twice in the court. His name is Ding Yuchang, and he is a famous general who is good at naval battles , once defeated the fleet of the Daxiang Dynasty in the East China Sea time and time again, and even had a glorious record of completely annihilating a fleet, but he guarded the East China Sea all the year round and rarely appeared in the court, so he was not familiar with it, so that I was promoted to the Xiaoyao King After that, I haven't seen this famous water warrior with outstanding achievements.

However, the battle in front of the imperial navy is almost certain to be defeated. Facing the powerful and "amphibious" strange demon army, how will the imperial navy fight? After all, the navy of the entire empire has only 300,000 troops, and the strength of this fleet is even more stretched. Can it defeat an entire army of strange demons who intend to land on the sea?

Obviously not.

It's time to retreat.

I went straight down into the sky, descended from the sky, and just turned into a spark, and stood on the deck of the flagship with a "swish", appearing in front of Ding Yuchang.

"ah?!"

Like a group of generals, the navy commander was slightly startled, and he was so frightened that he took several steps back. After seeing my appearance, he hastily knelt on one knee and clasped his fists: "Ding Yuchang, the navy commander, see His Royal Highness Xiaoyao Wang!"

"Free gift."

I raised my hand: "Sir Commander, don't show so much courtesy, retreat quickly, it's just a meaningless sacrifice here, order the entire fleet to retreat slowly, and lay water-mines on the sea, try to save as much damage as possible without huge damage. If necessary, delay their attack, and then return to the port. If necessary, plan to bring back all the fleets into the Neijiang River and the Neihe River to avoid naval battles with the Strange Demon Legion."

"But Your Highness..."

A lieutenant clasped his fists and said, "If we just retreat like this, it will be tantamount to handing over the territorial waters of the empire to the strange demon army. As a member of the navy, what face do we have to return to the country?"

"Different."

I waved my hand: "The strange demon army came too fast, it has nothing to do with the navy, you just follow the order to retreat, if anyone criticizes, just push it on me."

Immediately, Ding Yuchang, the commander of the navy, laughed heartily: "Your Highness is serious. The failure of the sea battle is due to the failure of our fleet. What does it have to do with Your Highness? Even if His Highness doesn't give the order, his subordinates will order to retreat."

"That's good, return to the port immediately."

"yes!"

"I go first."

...

Returning to the sky, when he came down again, he landed directly in the side hall of the Fanshu City's main meeting hall. Unsurprisingly, in the side hall, the new emperor Xuanyuanli, Bai Yiqing Xiangfeng Buwen, Juding Gong Yiping, and Shanhai Gong Nangong also entered the side hall. , There are also a group of civil and military personnel from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households. On the scroll in front of the new emperor Xuanyuanli, a scene of the battle in the East China Sea is emerging, and it is broadcast live in real time.

"what to do?"

Nangong also frowned: "The Beiyue war has just ended, and His Royal Highness Xiaoyao Wang has made great contributions. At the same time, he never thought that there would be another war in the East China Sea. This strange demon territory really didn't want our Xuanyuan Empire to be safe for a moment!"

"nature."

I sat down beside Feng Buwen, and said: "When hunting prey, it is often necessary to exhaust the prey first. This is a truth that everyone understands, and the Strange Demon Legion is doing the same now."

The new emperor Xuanyuan Li frowned and said, "Brother, do you have a countermeasure?"

"have."

I looked at Feng Buwen and said with a smile, "But I want to hear what Feng Xiang means first, to see if it coincides with me."

"Can."

Feng Buwen said: "The idea of ​​the truth is very simple, just follow the same method to succeed in Nanyue and Beiyue. King Xiaoyao has the magical ability to summon the ancient spirits who move mountains. We can also gather in the Far East Province and Lingnan Province. At the same time, it maintains several large rivers at the mouth of the sea, and keeps the land and water of the empire unimpeded, so that the country will not be closed to the outside world."

Xuanyuanli looked at me.

I nodded lightly: "Basically there is not much difference. As for the specific arrangements, I have also thought of some, for example, the highest mountain range on the east coast - Donghuang Mountain is designated as the Northern Mountain of the Empire. As for the ancient spirit moving the mountain, I will pay special attention Take care to preserve the seven estuaries, which are the three rivers and four rivers on the Hubu Shanshui Register, namely Zhenlong River, Qingfeng River, Fenglin River, Yulong River, Baiyu River, Feiyu River, and Qingshui River. These three rivers and four rivers were originally There is already Jiangshenheshen, there is no need to re-appoint, the first candidate we have to consider is Dongyue Shanjun's candidate, this is very important."

"Um."

Feng Buwen nodded, and said: "The spirit boat will come to the palace soon, we might as well discuss this matter on the way to Donghuang Mountain, not to mention that there are too many gods involved in the planning of Dongyue Mountains, and we need to talk to the gods of Donghuang Mountain first." , and the gods of rivers and waters of the three rivers and four rivers will know, lest they will blame our court for being too domineering."

"Can."

Not long after, everyone boarded the new emperor's imperial spirit boat one by one, soared straight up and flew straight to the east coast. In less than 20 minutes, they had already arrived on a majestic mountain. A man with the appearance of a middle-aged scholar and a golden body bows to us. He is the original mountain god of Donghuang Mountain.

It's a pity that he is just a literati, and his merits and virtues during his lifetime and his incense after death are all inferior. It is indeed no problem to sit on Donghuang Mountain. I can't carry the weight of Dongyue anymore, so I can only change to someone with higher reputation and merit. In this way, the power of gods that can be exerted by Dongyue's mountains will be stronger. Moreover, this time it is not only as simple as Dongyue, but also The three rivers and four rivers cooperate together. Once the luck of the mountains, rivers and gods in the eastern part of the empire is in a line, I am afraid that they will be stronger than Nanyue and Beiyue. After all, it is too important. It has really become a dojo in a tortoise shell, and it can only talk to itself, isolated from the whole world.

In the mountain shrine, the monarchs and ministers gathered together, and even Ding Yuchang, the commander of the navy in the naval battle, was picked up by the spirit boat.

...

The new emperor Xuanyuanli was sitting, and the officials were standing, discussing matters under the green pine in the mountain shrine.

Outside, there were figures flickering, men and women. In front of my Shifang Huolun, these people did not have any "popularity" on them, only their incense and detachment. Obviously, they were all the nearby mountain gods, Jiang Zemin, etc. Gods and others, stand in front of the new emperor one by one according to their ranks, and I have raised my hand to summon ancient spirits who moved the mountains. After telling them where to move the mountains, I don’t say anything more, they naturally know what to do, As a result, in the eastern country, mountains rose one after another, galloping towards the direction of Donghuang Mountain.

"Let's discuss, Dongyue Mountain Monarch's candidate?" Feng Buwen asked.

A civil official cupped his hands and said: "The minister elected Mr. Hu Bailin, the former Minister of the Household Department. He passed away half a year ago. He lived a clean life and had peaches and plums all over the world. He is a rare sage."

"Not suitable."

I frowned: "We need someone who is good at fighting and dares to fight at the slightest disagreement. Although the former Minister of the Household Department was clean, he was just clean. What Dongyue needs more is martial arts. As for literary luck, that's all." It’s something after the empire has stabilized.”

The new emperor nodded.

Some people recommended several candidates, but they were all rejected by me and Feng Buwen.

After a long time, the new emperor Xuanyuanli was also tired, he waved his hand and said: "My loves, rest yourselves, I will have another discussion with Prime Minister Feng, Elder Brother and the two Grand Dukes."

The crowd dispersed, and there were only a few people left in the entire courtyard.

...

Bai Yiqing Xiangfeng Buwen looked at the sky, then looked at the earth, and said with a smile: "Spring and Autumn is an irreversible event, and no one can avoid it. The Nanyue Mountain Lord of my Xuanyuan Empire is in charge of the Yugong Mu Tiancheng. Beiyue Mountain Monarch is appointed by Guan Yang, the official of Zhenyang, who is very competent and has saved the country's destiny time and time again. It seems that the best candidate for Dongyue Mountain Monarch is..."

"His Majesty!"

Shan Haigong Nangong also clasped his fists and said: "The consecration of the mountain god can only consecrate the dead. The general still wants to keep a useful body to serve His Majesty. It's not that the general is unwilling. As long as His Majesty makes an imperial decree, the general will have nothing to say, it's just... ..."

"No need to say much."

On the side, Juding Gong Yiping smiled miserably, and just bowed to me and Feng Buwen, then knelt down in front of the new emperor Xuanyuanli, crying sadly: "The three princes in the period of Emperor Longwu, Fuyu Gong and Zhenyang Gong It's all gone, and the minister is left alone in the world to be lonely... Before that, the minister suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield, new injuries and old injuries added together, this life has long been hanging by a thread, and now Dongyue Mountain Lord lacks candidates, Besides the minister, who else is more suitable?"

Xuanyuan Li trembled all over: "Grand Duke, you..."

"The minister will go."

Yiping turned around and walked out of the temple, and went straight to the cliff of the back mountain, and Feng Buwen and I followed.

...

"Drink the last pot of wine in this life."

Yiping each threw a pot of wine to me and Feng Buwen, took a big gulp, and said, "Among the three lords, only I, Yiping, have the least military exploits, and only I, Yiping, have survived until now." , the sick body is already useless, the empire needs me at this time, how can I shirk? No matter what, this can be regarded as living up to the expectations of the late emperor. After drinking a pot of wine together I'll go first."

I and Feng didn't hear or say anything, just drank the wine one mouthful at a time.

Today's wine is extremely bitter.

It's just that when Feng Buwen and I were still sipping wine, Yiping had already finished his jug of wine, and directly threw the jug over the cliff. Strands of blood spattered to the ground.

...

"Wind phase."

I looked at the wind and didn't smell it, and tears fell down involuntarily.

Under the green pine, the moonlight shines, and the white-clothed Qing Xiang burst into tears.
