Zhang He volunteered to fight, but Feng Ji kept winking at him. However, Zhang He acted as if he didn't see it and didn't change his attitude at all.
"General Zhang He is strong. If General Zhang He fights, I believe the Wo Nation Battalion will not be a match for you."
Since Zhang He volunteered to fight, Yang Rui had a similar plan. Naturally, he agreed without hesitation.
"If the Governor has any orders, Zhang He will not refuse!"
Zhang He answered boldly.
"That would be best. However, the Wo Nation Battalion is not without strengths. Apart from the ships under my command, the Wo Nation Battleships and our battleships have their own strengths. Their scale is not small, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.
Secondly, the Wo Nation Battalion has some very special naval forces that can even attack from underwater. In this regard, we don't even have soldiers comparable to them.
Moreover, naval warfare is different from land warfare. General Zhang He needs to be careful. Don't be careless and become a bandit … "
Facing the confident Zhang He, Yang Rui still repeatedly reminded him of some details.
Although Yang Rui had some plans for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the other troops, the outcome of the battle was still uncertain. It was not the time for internal strife. Yang Rui could still distinguish between righteousness and trifles.
"I will remember!"
Zhang He looked at Yang Rui and said sincerely.
Ji Ling, who was also sitting, didn't say a word. Even Trace Dragon Soul and Burning Snow didn't say a word. Burning Snow seemed to want to speak, but she had been observing the situation and didn't say anything in the end.
"Pass down my order. From today onwards, Zhang He will be the vanguard general. Feng Ji will be the assistant military advisor. We will attack the bandits of Wang Huzi Island. General Feng Ji will protect Homesick Island. I will personally lead the army. Together with Fang Lan and Trace Dragon Soul, they will be used as support in the event of war. All troops should work together and work together … "
Seeing that the others were unwilling to say anything more, Yang Rui immediately gave the order to prepare to launch a frontal attack on the Japanese bandits on Prince Beard Island the next day.
On that day, Yang Rui and the others made their own preparations and continued to send out Golden Hawks and Flame Falcons to investigate. On the day that the procedural Kingdom War broke out, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and the other nobles in the region of the Three Kingdoms Civilization began to get restless.
This was especially true for Yuan Shao of Northern Ji Prefecture on the Yellow River. That day, he sent a large number of troops to the border area under his jurisdiction and personally came to Gaotang City. He sent out many ships and scouts to gather information, as if he was going to attack Yang Rui's territory.
However, half a day later, Yuan Shao's heart turned cold. The news that the scouts brought back from the north coast was not unusual. Most of the ships they sent out did not return. Only a few ships that returned were almost sunk by Taishi Ci's navy on the Yellow River. They were lucky to escape with their lives.
Not only did the navy on the Yellow River not leave, but it might even be stronger! After Yuan Shao received this news, his confidence was greatly reduced. With Taishi Ci's navy, the Yellow River was a hurdle!
Furthermore, from the situation of Taishi Ci's navy on the Yellow River, there might not be any major changes in the deployment of Qingzhou and Yanzhou. Yuan Shao, who originally planned to take action while the Qingzhou and Yanzhou were empty during the Kingdom War, hesitated. In the end, under the suggestion of a group of strategists, he temporarily stayed in Gaotang City. At the same time, he sold out merchants and gathered information.
Cao Cao was in a similar situation. Originally, Cao Cao had stationed a large number of troops in Shanshui Pass and Shanshui City. After the Kingdom War began, Cao Cao also strengthened the investigation of Hulao Pass and the nearby Yellow River. However, the results of the investigation also made him hesitate.
In the previous few battles against Yang Rui, Cao Cao did not gain any advantage. His strength was also greatly reduced. Currently, there were even a few generals in Yang Rui's hands. At this moment, Cao Cao had to carefully consider if he wanted to take action.
Actually, the one who made the biggest move was Lu Bu. Ever since he occupied Hanoi Prefecture in Sili Province, he had always wanted to expand his strength. However, due to various reasons, Lu Bu had no choice but to give up on occupying Sili Province. At the same time, Sili Province had already been depleted by the Kingdom War. Nine out of ten people had been wiped out. Lu Bu had never made the decision to take action.
Now that Cao Cao had moved his base to Sili Province, Lu Bu did not plan to take this useless land from Cao Cao's hands. Ever since the Kingdom War began, Lu Bu had sent a large number of troops to the north of the Yellow River near Hulao Pass. It was obvious that he had his eyes on Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and even Yang Rui's Xuzhou.
Ever since he obtained Chen Gong, Lu Bu's faction was not without order. In history, Lu Bu and Chen Gong had participated in the Yanzhou and Xuzhou battles. It was normal for them to make such moves in the game.
Most importantly, Lu Bu saw that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were eyeing Yang Rui's territory. He wanted to fish in troubled waters and take a share of the profits.
It was not only Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu. In fact, due to the systematic war against the Wo civilization, the other feudal lords of the three civilizations were also planning something. However, there were no major changes in the current situation, so they did not take any substantial action.
Yang Rui naturally did not know what was happening in the three kingdoms region. However, before the Kingdom War began, Yang Rui had made a series of arrangements. At this moment, he was not too worried about the situation in his territory.
Furthermore, after Zhang San's troops were appointed as the vanguard, the next day was a calm and peaceful day. Yang Rui immediately urged Zhang San's troops to set off early in the morning. He and Dragon Soul brought up the rear and headed toward Prince Beard Island.
In the first few days of the Kingdom War, perhaps because the system wanted the participants to familiarize themselves with the sea, the sea that used to be surging all day long became a lot quieter. As a result, most of the people participating in the Kingdom War had not really experienced the sea under normal conditions.
Yang Rui was actually not at ease about appointing Zhang San as the vanguard general. The strength of the Japanese troops participating in the Kingdom War was obvious, and Zhang San was not an expert in naval forces. He might not be familiar with the way of battle. Yang Rui did not know how much he listened to Yang Rui's instructions.
However, Yang Rui had the Golden Hawk and the Flame Falcon to scout from the air. Although his troops were at the rear, the situation at the front was constantly being reported to Yang Rui.
When Zhang San's troops were one-third of the way to Prince Beard Island, they had already been exposed to the Japanese ships. However, Zhang San's troops did not seem to be aware of it.
At the same time, the Japanese ships near Prince Beard Island also began to move. A large number of ships, large and small, formed groups and headed toward Zhang San's troops.
