Although the Golden Hawk and Flame Falcon were fast, there was still some delay in the transmission of information. In this regard, they were even slower than carrier pigeons. Carrier pigeons were the communication tools designated by the system. They were faster than all the flying creatures Yang Rui had seen so far.
Yang Rui immediately realized that the strange movements of the Japanese ships were not simple. In order to avoid the delay in the transmission of information, Yang Rui ordered the ships to move closer to Zhang He's fleet. He also rode his flying pet and left the fleet, heading straight for Prince Beard Island.
Yang Rui was relieved that Fang Lan was in charge of the fleet at the back. Although Trace Dragon Soul and the other players' teams were moving together, they were a distance away from Zhang He's fleet.
The players' ships only followed from a distance. It could be considered a tacit understanding between the two sides. Yang Rui was very satisfied with Trace Dragon Soul and Burning Snow's approach.
Yang Rui's fleet was only half an hour away from Zhang He's fleet. Yang Rui rode the Golden Hawk and caught up in a short while. When he found that there were no abnormalities around him, he continued to head for Prince Beard Island.
At this time, Zhang He's fleet was still one-third of the way to Prince Beard Island, which was about 30000 kilometers away. If Zhang He's fleet was organized into a uniform fleet, it would take less than an hour to reach Prince Beard Island.
However, the battle on the sea was different from the battle on land. There were almost no points of reference on the sea, so there were limited ways to detect each other. Sometimes, even if they were very close to each other, they might not be able to detect each other and directly pass by each other.
In this regard, Yang Rui had two flying pets, the Golden Hawk and the Flame Falcon, so he had a big advantage.
Within a quarter of an hour, Yang Rui had already arrived near Prince Beard Island. At this time, there were not many ships of the Japanese civilization gathered nearby. It was likely that the news that Yang Rui had received before had been spread out in small groups.
In the area between Zhang He's fleet and Wang Huzi Island, Yang Rui had seen groups of Japanese ships. They were still some distance away from Zhang He's fleet, so Yang Rui did not pay much attention to them.
Zhang He had brought 40 to 50 ships with him. If the Wo Nation's entire civilization was grouped together to fight against Zhang He, Zhang He would not be a match for them. Currently, the Wo Nation's ships were in groups of three to five, so Yang Rui was not too worried.
He didn't know if the Wo civilization was frightened by Yang Rui's two frontal attacks, or if they had other plans, so they chose to attack separately. Yang Rui couldn't guess their intentions for the time being.
There was at least one thing that could be confirmed. The Wo Nation had responded, which meant that the other party had discovered the traces of Zhang He's fleet. It could be seen that the Wo Nation's battalions were still on high alert.
It would be great if he could see Wako Uesugi now. He should be able to obtain some useful information. After understanding the purpose of the Wo Nation's actions, it would be much easier to take corresponding countermeasures.
When Yang Rui met Wako Uesugi earlier, Yang Rui had made an agreement with him. Whenever he went out to sea to investigate or take action, he would hang the Shangshan clan's flag. However, along the way, Yang Rui did not see the Shangshan clan's flag.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui asked a Flame Falcon scout that accompanied him to report back to Fang Lan. He told her the relevant information truthfully while he continued to investigate the surrounding waters.
Yang Rui did not report the information to Zhang He. First, he felt that it was not necessary for the time being. Once the news was reported, it would quickly expose his trump card, the flying pets. Zhang He and the other vassal forces did not know about the existence of Yang Rui's Golden Hawk and Flame Falcon.
Secondly, as a general, Zhang He also had the help of Feng Ji, a wise strategist, by his side. He also had his own rhythm of battle. They had also sent out ships that were specifically in charge of scouting. Presumably, they had also prepared for battle tactics.
The only pity was that neither Zhang He nor Feng Ji were familiar with naval battles. Their ultimate skills were not suitable for naval battles, so there was less room for them to perform.
In addition, the troops commanded by Zhang He and Feng Ji had very few ships that could fight, and the individual strength of the ships was also mediocre, which would restrict Zhang He and Feng Ji's performance. As the saying goes, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice.
However, Zhang He and Feng Ji were not ordinary people. Yang Rui agreed to let them fight this time not because he wanted to deliberately exhaust their strength. At the same time, he also wanted to see their performance to better understand the abilities of the various vassal forces in naval battles.
Before establishing an absolute advantage over the Wo forces, Yang Rui would not send the vassal forces of the three kingdoms to the tiger's mouth. This was also the reason why he brought out all the ships as support and strengthened the investigation of the Wo forces at the same time.
Yang Rui did not discover the other party's specific intentions in the waters around Wang Beard Island, so he returned to the area where Zhang He's fleet was to strengthen the investigation of the surrounding waters.
No matter what the Wo forces planned, their ultimate target was Zhang He's fleet. Yang Rui was on top of Zhang He's fleet, so if anything happened, he could take timely measures.
According to the current situation that Yang Rui knew, the Wo forces should not have discovered the existence of Homesickness Island. Originally, the war had only started for two or three days, and the Wo forces had suffered two consecutive defeats. Their range of activity was not far from Wang Beard Island.
However, the Wo forces still had the ability to investigate. Zhang He and Feng Ji's fleet had only crossed two-thirds of the sea, and the other party had already begun to act strangely. Obviously, they had discovered the movement here. Their ability to obtain information was quite good.
Yang Rui returned to the waters near Zhang He's fleet, but he did not find any traces of the Wo forces nearby. As Zhang He's fleet continued to move closer to Wang Beard Island, this situation continued.
At this time, Yang Rui had sent out as many as twenty to thirty flying units to investigate. However, it was a little difficult to gather the information. The core of the various flying units' reports was the fleet commanded by Fang Lan, and they were basically unable to communicate with each other.
After Yang Rui arrived near Zhang He's fleet, he first ordered several flying units around him to communicate with each other and put the information gathering point on his side. Then, a special flying unit would inform Fang Lan of the relevant information.
This process took time. For a while, Yang Rui was in a blank state of information.
As Zhang He's fleet gradually approached the waters of Wang Beard Island, Yang Rui felt that the Wo forces' actions were quite strange.
According to the situation that Yang Rui had passed by before, there were originally some Wo ships in some areas. However, when Zhang He and the others arrived, there were no traces of them.
