Chapter 183 Information(1/2)
Above the slightly undulating sea, the fleet was winding.
“How is the loss?”
Looking at the orange-red water surface reflected by the sunset and scanning the ship behind him, Shangguan Wudi made a sound to break the silence.
“Return to the king, fight with ghosts and beasts, and the fleet sank a troop transport ship;
There were three other troop transport ships, one Erlu warship, which was greatly damaged and needed to be overhauled in the dock.
However, the casualties on the personnel were very small, only hundreds of people were lost.
After experiencing the vitality storm, two Erlu battleships collided, which were moderately injured and needed maintenance.
Fortunately, less than a hundred people on the personnel were slightly injured and there were no losses."
Gan Ning responded hurriedly.
Shangguan Wudi nodded slightly, and felt relieved.
It was half an hour after passing through the storm of vitality. I had been worried about the loss before, and I could finally let go of it.
"So tough, tell me, have you ever received useful information?"
Zhengang's figure appeared silently from the air, and he respectfully bowed to Shangguan Wudi, and then said solemnly:
"The four islands, including King Shang, Crescent Island, Chunhe Island, Feiyu Island, and Jiafei Island, have actually always been alliances.
Their alliance was formed to curb the expansion of the land dynasty into the sea, and on the other hand, to resist threats from the deep sea.
For tens of thousands of years, not only the Dasheng Dynasty once wanted to expedition to the vast sea, but the Iron Elephant Dynasty and the Zhijue Dynasty also had actions.
It’s a pity that none of the three dynasties has succeeded.
However, the Zhijue Dynasty is somewhat different.
Because the entire southern part of the Zhijue Dynasty is filled with vast seas.
The Four Islands Alliance only barely blocked the pace of Zhijue's expansion to the southwest, but in other directions, it was powerless.
In fact, the navy of the Zhijue Dynasty was very strong.
If most of its energy was not restrained by the Hansui Dynasty in the east, the Zhijue Dynasty would not have no choice but to use the fleet of the Four Islands Alliance.
They just don’t want to take risks, and at the same time they don’t want to spend too much money, and they can’t get the four islands.
After all, the overall strength of the monks in the Four Islands can be regarded as strong.
The Four Islands Alliance is mainly based on their own most of the time, but it has formed a defensive alliance.
If there is a problem with the defense alliance, they will consider whether to fight against the enemy on a large scale.
The entire defense alliance is divided into four alliances, which deal with four directions respectively.
Among them, the first alliance has the strongest combat power and is responsible for the deep sea direction;
The second alliance is followed by the direction of the Zhijue Dynasty;
The three alliances are again, and the ones responsible for me are the direction of Da Cang;
The four alliances are the weakest, and the direction of the Iron Elephant Dynasty is responsible for.
The reason why the fleet was discovered was because the personnel of the Third Alliance were always monitoring the Navy Port of Hanhai Island.
After interrogation and verification, more than a hundred people from the three alliances have been killed!"
Shangguan Wudi nodded slightly, as if thinking.
The Zhijue Dynasty, the Hansui Dynasty, and the Tusan Dynasty are all countries in the southern part of the wasteland.
If Da Cang takes over the four islands, especially the Feiyu Island closest to the Zhijue Dynasty, it will inevitably have a conflict with Zhijue.
The Zhijue Dynasty, like the Tusan Dynasty, are both middle-grade dynasties.
However, because the Zhijue Dynasty was able to develop a lot of resources in the vast ocean, its foundation was much stronger than that of the map.
Zhijue is at least a middle-grade top dynasty, and in some aspects, it may have reached the standards of a top-grade dynasty!
This is another potential enemy, but Shangguan Wudi is not afraid.
As long as he is not able to crush his own enemy, Da Cang will only become stronger and stronger during the war!
Putting aside these things and ignoring them for the time being, Shangguan Wudi continued to ask:
"What is the specific strength of the four islands? Which island is the strongest?"
"Report to the king, among the four islands, Chunhe Island should be the strongest!
There is a top dynasty sect on Chunhe Island, named Tianyan Sect, and there is only one person in the Nirvana Realm in the sect in which he is clearly in Nirvana;
But according to Peng Lin, the Nirvana Realm of Tianyan Sect should have at least three people and dozens of master realm.
In addition, there are nine middle-grade dynasty sects in Chunhe Island.
After Chunhe Island is Feiyu Island.
Feiyu Island also has a top-grade dynasty sect, but there should be only one person in Nirvana Realm, and the overall background is also worse than that of Tianyan Sect.
There are six middle-grade dynasty-level forces on the island.
The third place is Crescent Island.
There are four middle-grade dynasty sects on Crescent Island, namely Yaoming Sect, Yufeng Sect, Qingfeng Sect, and Caihe Valley. The first two are the strongest.
The last place in the four islands is Jiafei Island.
There are only three middle-grade dynasty sects on Jiafei Island, and only one of them has barely reached the peak of the middle-grade.
However, in terms of area, it is completely reversed.
Jiafei Island is the largest, followed by Crescent Island, followed by Feiyu Island, and finally Chunhe Island.
In terms of population, Jiafei Island also has the largest number, with nearly 10 million people.
Then came Chunhe Island, with eight million people.
As for Crescent Island and Feiyu Island, there is not much difference, both of which are about five million.
Finally, the navy...
There are more than 600 large and medium-sized warships on Jiafei Island, more than 400 Chunhe Island, more than 300 Feiyu Island, and more than 200 Crescent Island.
However, the weapons on the Sida Navy warships are basically ungrade-level mechanical cannons, catapults, ground crossbows, whale hunting crossbows, etc.
Only the navy of Chunhe Island and Feiyu Island have more than 20 warships equipped with yellow-class low-grade machine cannons."
Hearing such detailed information, Shangguan Wudi looked at Shiteng with appreciation and smiled with satisfaction.
“Good done!”
"Share the worries of the king!"
Zhengang said with a constant expression, then his body shook and disappeared again.
Qi Jiguang thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said:
"Although the four island warships are far inferior to ours, so many are also a problem.
After the Battle of Crescent Island, the reality of our warships will certainly spread.
If the other party continues to harass and swims without attacking, it will also bring considerable trouble.
If the opponent can gather most of the warships together to fight with me, it will definitely save a lot of trouble later! It can also capture the four islands more quickly!
What a pity, this time we must take the lead in taking the Crescent Island with thunder;
Otherwise, Weichen would have wanted to give the other party some time and try to get them to bring the fleet together."
Gan Ning chuckled and quipped:
"General Qi cannot be dissatisfied. The old hen lays eggs one after another.
If you want to pop two at the same time, you are a little greedy."
Qi Jiguang smiled gently, but he was not angry.
"What General Gan said is reasonable, and the way must be done step by step."
Shangguan Wudi coughed lightly, and when the two of them got serious, he looked at Gan Ning and said:
"General Gan, recalculate the time and see when the fleet can reach the target area."
"Yes! Go back to the king, I have already calculated it.
Due to the siege of ghost beasts, it took more than two hours;
Afterwards, it took nearly an hour to pass the storm of vitality;
In addition, due to the impact of the Yuanqi storm, the fleet's course has undergone a slight change, which has extended the distance by more than 20 nautical miles again.
In addition, we have to take care of the speed of the damaged ship, the arrival time originally scheduled to be before midnight (23:00) tomorrow night will be postponed to the sunrise on the next day."
"The next day? Sunrise?"
After hearing this, Shangguan Wudi frowned slightly at first, and then slowly unfolded.
To be continued...
