Yang Rui retreated quickly not because he couldn't fight against the enemy. Although there were still a lot of warships left, Yang Rui wasn't afraid at all in a head-on confrontation like in the first round of firepower confrontation with 45 fully-armed turrets.
However, most of the remaining ships of the Wo civilization were small and medium-sized ships. According to the previous situation of the opponent's escape, it would be difficult for a head-on confrontation to occur.
The actual situation was that the strength displayed by Yang Rui's turreted ships in the showdown segment was too shocking. The Wo civilization was planning how to avoid a head-on battle and adopt some unconventional means.
The warships had their strengths and weaknesses. In contrast, the small and medium-sized ships were much faster. If the Wo civilization made up their mind to deal with Yang Rui's warships, it would be difficult for Yang Rui to gain an advantage by relying on the warships alone.
At the same time, Yang Rui had learned from Wako Uesugi that the Wo civilization still had diving troops similar to the sea devils. If the opponent used similar means, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not pose a threat to the warships.
Moreover, the system had previously assigned strategic protection to both sides of the war. The Wo civilization had also chosen arrow towers. These arrow towers were not comparable to the arrow towers on Wang Huzi Island. Their range and attack power were much higher.
The location of the arrow towers automatically distributed by the system was also very suitable for the terrain. Although the attack of the warships was far away, it could not directly remove most of the arrow towers like it did in the previous battle with Wang Huzi.
In other words, even if the Wo warships all fled in the face of Yang Rui's troops, it would take a lot of effort for Yang Rui to take the opportunity to seize the island.
Yang Rui had long prepared to leave this kind of thing to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and other troops to do so to consume their strength. Therefore, it was not the time for Yang Rui to take the decisive battle.
Through the surprise attack on Wang Huzi Island, Yang Rui also had a basic battle plan. If the opportunity was grasped properly, Yang Rui might be able to leave all the Wo battalions on Wang Huzi Island.
Of course, it naturally did not include Wako Uesugi and his troops. If the conditions allowed, Yang Rui was still thinking about how to let Wako Uesugi get more benefits so that he could gain the opportunity to rise in the Wo civilization.
On the one hand, Yang Rui wanted to give Wako Uesugi a chance. On the other hand, Yang Rui wanted to weaken the strength of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and other opponents while ensuring the fruits of victory. The two only needed a point of convergence.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui divided the troops according to their camp. When the time came that they needed cannon fodder or meat for Wako Uesugi, Yang Rui would send a group of troops led by Zhang He and Feng Ji. This was also premeditated by Yang Rui.
However, unless they achieved a critical victory, Yang Rui's first principle was to ensure the victory of this national war. Yang Rui would not do or consider doing anything that went against this principle!
In fact, Yang Rui had thought of using Wako Uesugi to cooperate with them from the inside and outside to defeat the Wo army in one fell swoop. However, in that way, Wako Uesugi's camp was likely to change immediately, making it impossible for him to stay in the Wo civilization.
Not only would this affect Yang Rui's layout in the Wo civilization, but it would also implicate the two famous forces of the Shangshan clan. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Yang Rui would certainly not do this.
When Yang Rui saw that the Wo army did not chase after them, he and Fang Lan led all the 45 ships back to Homesick Island. They arrived at their destination before noon.
"Brother Blazing Sun is not a good friend. Why didn't you call us when you went out to do such a big business? Hahaha …"
After returning to Homesick Island, Yang Rui gathered Zhang He, Ji Ling, Trace Dragon Soul, Feng Ji, and Burning Snow to discuss the next battle with Fang Lan. At this time, Trace Dragon Soul entered the tent and spoke first.
Before Trace Dragon Soul, Zhang He and Feng Ji were present. He paid more attention to the way he expressed himself. He guessed that the other party would not understand words like "doing a big business".
However, this was only Trace Dragon Soul's wishful thinking. Zhang He and Feng Ji seemed to be stunned for a moment before their expressions relaxed. They seemed to have understood most of what was going on.
The World War had a plot point and achievement ranking. After the first round of battle, Yang Rui had already obtained more than a million points and achievement points. At this time, these two points had almost doubled. Trace Dragon Soul naturally guessed that Yang Rui had killed a lot of people again.
Yang Rui didn't mind it at all. He was prepared to announce the results of the battle to the public so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of the deputy commanders and the main leaders. Now that it came from the mouth of the Tracer Dragon Soul, it was more credible.
Moreover, the plot point and achievement ranking could not escape the eyes of Zhang He, Feng Ji, Ji Ling, and the other NPCs. At this time, Yang Rui's attitude toward NPCs was no different from that of a normal player. On this point, there were some differences between him and Trace Dragon Soul.
"Greetings, Governor. I came late. Please don't take offense …"
Before Yang Rui could reply to Trace Dragon Soul, Ji Ling quickly came into the room and cupped his hands to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui only nodded to show that he understood Ji Ling's words. He did not say anything else. Then, he used the topic of Trace Dragon Soul to explain the situation of the attack on Prince Beard Island to the people present.
"After this battle, I'm sure the Wo Nation tribes will be scared out of their wits and will not dare to face them head-on. Governor is wise and powerful. You are the backbone of the Great Han Dynasty and the pillar of the country!"
As soon as Yang Rui finished explaining the situation of the battle, Feng Ji complimented him. For some reason, he took the opportunity to flatter Yang Rui.
Yang Rui had dealt with Feng Ji more than once or twice. He knew that Feng Ji was not a simple person. Moreover, through several contacts, Yang Rui was somewhat wary of Feng Ji's personality and actions.
"Mister Feng Ji, don't say that. Although our army has won two battles, we have not established a fundamental advantage. Therefore, we must not let our guard down and create opportunities for the Wo Nation bandits.
For now, we should strike while the iron is hot and not give the bandits a chance to breathe. I hope everyone will express their opinions and decide on a good strategy to fight the Wo Nation bandits … "
Yang Rui said. He did not say anything about agreeing with Feng Ji. Moreover, the current situation was indeed so.
"This general is willing to lead 100,000 troops and kill our way to Prince Beard Island and kill all the bandits!"
Before Yang Rui finished speaking, Zhang He had already stood up and volunteered to Yang Rui.
