Felix could naturally feel Jin Chong's death. Although he had the absolute upper hand in his battle with Lin Muyu, the moment that brat on the flagship drew his bow, Felix's heart trembled. Before Wei Qiu could draw his bow, he had already stepped on the Ripple Wave, and with a "puchi" sound, he broke through the void and retreated a few hundred meters.
He didn't dare to continue fighting. Even though he was a mid-god, he was no match for Lin Muyu's meticulous planning.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Filet loudly ordered, "Pass down my order, everyone retreat! Defend against their attack with an iron bucket formation! The Qin fleet must have a limited supply of cannons. They can't possibly keep up the bombardment. When they run out of cannons, it will be time for us to counterattack!"
This roar allowed the shaken Shang army soldiers to find a trace of comfort. At the very least, the Marshal's flag was still there.
… …
"They are defending with an iron bucket formation!" Situ Sen said with a frown.
"Perhaps Filet is right. We can't run out of cannons here." Lin Muyu said, "There is still a fierce battle waiting for us at Jiufeng Island. We must conserve our cannons. Pass down my order to stop the bombardment. The Gong Gong Navy will begin their attack. When they are in a mess, approach them, hook their warships, seize them, and kill them!"
"Yes!"
The entire surface of the sea was ablaze. Wreckages of warships were burning. Less than half of the three thousand warships that Filet had brought with him were left. More than a thousand warships were huddled together on the surface of the sea, defending themselves like an enormous tortoise shell.
Great Qin's warships slowly approached, getting closer and closer. They were less than a hundred meters away!
On the iron-bucket formation warships, the Shang army soldiers were trembling. Most of them were new recruits. This was their first battle, but they didn't expect that they would be greeted with death.
The native cannons and magic crystal cannons on the Shang army's warships had long been exhausted. At this moment, they could only rely on arrows and stone ballistae to bombard the enemy. However, they were completely useless against the sturdy warships.
On the contrary, under Situ Sen's command, some people holding black iron pipes appeared on the warships of the Great Qin Empire. They struck the air and instantly, the Shang soldiers fell like wheat being reaped. That's right, it was the armor-piercing bow that Feng Jixing mentioned. It was also the submachine gun in Lin Muyu's heart.
"What the hell is that!?"
Filet frowned as he looked into the distance. A series of bullets were fired at him, but they were all deflected by the God Power Strong Wall in front of him.
"Keep shooting arrows and use the iron hooks to intercept them. Don't let them get close!" Some high-ranking officers ordered loudly. They were familiar with naval warfare, but they weren't the commanders of this battle.
Beside Filet, Captaincy, who was wearing a red robe, said in a low voice, "Marshal, we can't keep defending. We need to think of a way to charge out … In this subordinate's opinion, why don't we give the order to raise the sails? The night wind is strong, and we can ram through Feng Jixing's troops in the southeast and force our way out. Once we make contact with the 2nd Corps, we can make a comeback!"
"Oh?"
Filet turned to look at him and said, "That's a good idea. What's your name?"
"This subordinate is called Ou …" Before he could finish his sentence, a soft tongue suddenly flew out from the side of the sea and wrapped around Captaincy's head. It forcefully dragged him into the sea. Instantly, the sea churned, and there were even wild beasts roaring. It was as if a group of vicious sea beasts was having a meal. Blood instantly dyed the surface of the sea red.
"What the hell is this!?"
Filet watched as his subordinate was killed, but he didn't lend a helping hand. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but he was scared out of his wits. At this moment, Filet was scared out of his wits.
A group of Shang army soldiers shot arrows into the water, but by the time the arrows reached the water, the horseshoe crab people had already disappeared.
Instead, thumping sounds came from the bottom of the ship.
Everyone's hair stood on end. One of the staff officers said, "What's that sound? It seems like there's something at the bottom of the ship …"
Filet frowned and said, "What kind of person is Lin Muyu? How … how can he use these monsters as an army? This person … is he even human!?"
No one could answer this question of his.
But not far away, a warship was already flooded. The water had entered the cabin, and it would sink in three to five minutes. The soldiers on the ship were wailing and fighting over the driftwood to save their lives.
One after another, more and more warships were sunk. The morale of the army was in chaos, and it had completely collapsed.
What's worse was that the warships of the Qin Empire all approached, hooking the sides of the ships and forcing them to approach. The Qin soldiers with broadswords jumped onto the warships and began slaughtering.
At the bottom of the sea, the Gong Gong navy climbed up along the sides of the ships, waving their sharp blades and rushing into the crowd. After a round of slaughter, the defeat of the Shang army was certain.
In the air, the Dragon Knights circled around. One of the Dragon Knights said with an ashen face, "Marshal, we can't get out of here … Hurry and leave with the Dragon Knights, as many as you can. Otherwise … we'll all die here, Marshal!!"
"Okay … Let's go!"
Scared out of his wits, Filet leaped into the clouds and shouted, "All dragon riders, follow me to the 2nd Corps, and find reinforcements to save the situation!"
On the sea, a large group of Shang army soldiers were dumbfounded, and they all knelt down and begged for help, "Marshal, don't leave us, Marshal …"
However, what greeted them was only death.
…
Before the war, Lin Muyu's order was not to keep any captives. Food and warships were scarce resources, and keeping captives would only consume their own resources, which was not a wise move.
But now, the result had been determined, and all that was left was the process of slaughter.
Nearly two hours later, over a big half of the Shang army's warships had been seized, and the remaining hundreds were powerless to resist.
"Pass my order!"
The Xuanyuan Sword was stained with blood. Lin Muyu sat tiredly on the corner of the deck of the flagship and said, "Leave Si Kongyao's troops to continue cleaning the battlefield. The rest of the fleet will follow the flagship to the battlefield of Jiufeng Island. Speed is the most important thing in war, go to the battlefield as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
The bugle sounded, and Lin Muyu's flagship was the first to turn around and rush to the northeast, followed by Feng Jixing's fleet. Undercurrents surged under the water, and countless Gong Gong navy troops moved along with the fleet. In the air, the cries of phoenix could be heard. Although Xing Tian's army had suffered a great loss, they still had the power.
…
Changyuan Island was less than forty miles away from Jiufeng Island, and could be reached in two hours with the wind.
"Lord, drink some water."
Wei Chou kneeled on one knee and handed over a glass of water, which was faintly stained with blood.
Lin Muyu thanked him and drank up the glass. As he said, the glass had a faint scent of blood. After a fierce battle, no pure water could be found anymore. Blood and corpses were everywhere.
There were three hundred people on the flagship, but by now, only two hundred and twenty-four were left. This was war, and death was a common thing.
"Lulu, come out!"
Lin Muyu gave a deep growl. Instantly, a buzzing noise came into his ears. A scout bee landed on his wrist and quickly transformed into Lulu's silhouette.
"Brother, I'm here!"
"Check the situation of QianFeng's battle near Jiufeng Island. I want to see it now."
"Okay!"
Lulu's silhouette disappeared and was replaced by the dark scene of artillery bombardment. The fifty thousand national fleet commanded by QianFeng had been surrounded by the enemy and suffered heavy losses. There were only a few warships left, and the fifty thousand people in the national fleet would most likely be lost.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Although QianFeng was a surrendered general, he was still a rare loyal and brave general!
"Adjust the angle of the fleet to the south by fifteen degrees." Lin Muyu said indifferently.
Wei Chou frowned and said, "Lord, we are now moving at full speed. The flagship is fast and has already left a lot of the fleet behind us. Only less than a hundred fast ships can keep up with our speed. If we change the angle, I'm afraid we will directly rush into the enemy fleet. Moreover, the best way is to outflank them from three sides. We need to slow down and wait for the two corps led by General Feng and Xiang Yu to outflank them from the left and right before we attack."
"It's too late. I can't let QianFeng die."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "Let's rush into the enemy fleet. We'll disrupt their battle formation first, then let General Feng and Xiang Yu attack from the left and right. The result will be the same."
"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
Lin Muyu stood up again, looked at the dark sea, and said, "Where's Candle Dragon?"
In the water, a silhouette flew over. Candle Dragon cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Lord. What's your order?"
"Lead the Gong Gong Navy to reinforce QianFeng's fleet, no matter the cost."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu looked at the sky and said, "Situ Sen, Situ Xue."
"Yes!" Dragon Knight and Dragon Knight answered together.
"You lead our Dragon Knights. I'll give you the Xingtian Heavenly Army as well, along with twenty-five giant flying snakes. Reinforce QianFeng's army as fast as possible. No formation is required. This time, we just want to attack with speed and catch Filet's second corps unprepared."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu hesitated briefly and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you!"
Summoning Akatosaurus, he leaped onto the dragon's back and said, "Xiao Yin, I'll leave the main fleet to you. Consult General Feng of the Wei Army!"
Qin Yin's eyes were as clear as water. "You have to be careful too!"
"Yes, I'm going!"
Streaks of light flew across the sky. Added with the surging seawater, the two armies headed straight for Eternal Wind Island!
… …
Akatosaurus's sharp claws slowly spread out in the clouds. Its flying speed was extremely fast, faster than all the Xingtian Heavenly Army and Dragon Knights. It immediately arrived at the main battlefield ten li south of Eternal Wind Island. The densely packed fleet of the Kingdom of Shang had already surrounded QianFeng's troops. QianFeng's close to a thousand battleships were left with less than half, but they were still firing back with all their might.
"Dragon Flames!"
Lin Muyu gave the order. Akatosaurus immediately opened its mouth and spat out a scorching dragon breath. It ignited dozens of battleships on the surface of the sea. The power of the laws disappeared and the gods fell. However, Akatosaurus was a dragon. Its power was not affected at all. All of its dragon power came from its bloodline.
"Flip!"
Lin Muyu continued to give the order. Akatosaurus then flipped over and faced the sea with its back. Lin Muyu drew her longsword and activated her profound energy. A sword aura streaked across the sea and cut seven battleships in half!
On the surface of the sea, several figures flew over. They were the Sanctuary realm experts of the Kingdom of Shang's army.
"Meet them!"
Lin Muyu gave the order, "Armor Transformation!"
Immediately, Akatosaurus's body began to disintegrate, turning into a majestic dragon armor that attached itself to its owner. A pair of red dragon wings fluttered in the wind. Lin Muyu brandished her sharp sword and swept forward like a whirlwind!
"Pfft pfft pfft …"
The divine sword was sharp. Along the way, blood splattered everywhere. More than ten Sanctuary realm experts were slaughtered by Lin Muyu without any ability to retaliate.
