"Order all scouting units not to make any mistakes. Maintain control of the information within 5,000 miles of Wang Huzi Island. The rest of the troops should be ready to fight at any time."
The mobility and the ability to obtain information made Yang Rui temporarily stop the rhythm of the attack.
The distance between Homesickness Island and Wang Huzi Island was about 10000 miles. Yang Rui and the other side could fight each other once every game day, and the side that took the initiative to attack would need a lot more manpower.
Therefore, Yang Rui decided to postpone his attack on the Wo tribe on Wang Huzi Island until he found an effective breakthrough. Yang Rui didn't mind letting the Wo forces take the initiative to attack, but he was afraid that they wouldn't come.
Yang Rui decided to wait for the other side to take the initiative to attack, and at the same time, give his troops some buffer time. For most of the infantry that only moved on land, it was very uncomfortable to suddenly come into contact with a sea battle.
At this time, Yang Rui wanted to go back to Shrimp Island and see if he could return to the area of the three civilizations through the teleportation circle during the national war. However, the two sides were still in the initial stage of a stalemate, and Yang Rui didn't feel safe leaving.
The key was that because of the outbreak of the national war, the Wind Carpet that Yang Rui used to cross the strait had been restricted. Not to mention whether he could use a flying pet to cross the strait smoothly, it would definitely take a lot of time.
Or if he wanted the Golden Ray to successfully cross the strait to Shrimp Island, he would need a ship to provide a place for it to rest. However, that was no different from using a ship to cross the sea.
According to Yang Rui's estimation, teleporting back to the area of the three civilizations through Shrimp Island shouldn't be restricted by the national war plot. However, Yang Rui couldn't do it for the time being.
The time of the day was up, and Yang Rui and the Wo forces had spent a lot of energy fighting. It was impossible for the two sides to continue to do anything. The flying units and the scouting ships that went out to investigate did not find any traces of the Wo bandits.
The next day was still very peaceful. No Wo Nation tribesmen were found within half a journey of Homesick Island, or even farther away. Yang Rui also rode the Golden Hawk to investigate, but he found nothing.
At this moment, Yang Rui thought of another way to deal with the enemy, which was to set up the Four Symbols Maze Formation between the fleet of warships! If they succeeded, the Wo Nation would have another important bargaining chip when they attacked Wanghusi Island.
Moreover, the Four Symbols Maze had been used on moving targets before, so Yang Rui was confident that it would succeed.
However, after a series of tests, he realized that the Four Symbols Maze Formation couldn't be used on a moving ship. He didn't know if it was due to a problem with the system's details or a special restriction during the Kingdom War.
Since the Four Symbols Maze on the ship could not be arranged, Yang Rui was once again enlightened. He quickly arranged the two sets of formation flags of the Four Symbols Maze on the Homesick Island. With double the number of formation flags, the huge Homesick Island was hidden.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Wo Nation tribesmen's ships to find the Homesick Island.
Even if the Wo Nation tribesmen found the Homesick Island sooner or later, Yang Rui only needed to hide the main forces around the island, which was tantamount to an excellent ambush place. As long as the Wo Nation tribesmen didn't send out a strong general, it would be difficult for them to find out.
It wasn't until the third game day that the Wo Nation tribesmen's ships appeared in the sea about half a journey between the two islands. They were still in groups of four or five, and there were a total of seven or eight such groups.
After Yang Rui received the news, he personally rode the Golden Hawk out of the Homesick Island and arrived above the scouting ships in front of him to get first-hand information. At the same time, he could also identify whether the scout sent by the other party was Wako Uesugi.
Right now, Yang Rui was anxious to get in touch with Wako Uesugi again to get more detailed information about the Wo Nation tribesmen.
Last time, Wako Uesugi had given Yang Rui the general information about the Wo Nation tribesmen who participated in the national war, including the number of Wo Nation tribesmen who participated in the war and the number of historical generals. However, he didn't detail the special forces among them.
For example, Wako Uesugi only mentioned a little about the sea devil soldiers, but he didn't give a specific number. At this time, Yang Rui was anxious to see the other party to learn more about this information.
However, after Yang Rui circled around for a while, he found that Wako Uesugi and his men were not among the eight groups of scouting ships. The flags on the ships were all the family emblems of another big name.
That big name seemed to be somewhere on Shikoku Island. Yang Rui only had a little impression of the family emblem, but he wasn't sure which one it was.
In the list provided by Wako Uesugi, two big names on Shikoku Island had sent their men. The family emblems seemed to be very complicated and difficult to distinguish, so Yang Rui couldn't tell for a while.
However, the scouting ships could be ruled out as Wako Uesugi's men, so Yang Rui didn't have any scruples.
The Wo Nation tribesmen seemed to have taken advantage of the difference in speed and flexibility between Yang Rui's ships and sent more than 40 ships just for scouting purposes. Yang Rui immediately thought of making them stay.
Yang Rui carefully observed for a while and found that many of the Wo Nation's scouting ships didn't seem to have any special scouting methods. He was even more puzzled by their super scouting abilities.
However, this was not the time to delve into why they had such super scouting abilities. Judging from the performance of the Wo Nation's scouting ships, Yang Rui could almost determine that they hadn't found the location of Homesick Island for the time being. They had been moving forward separately.
At this time, all of the Wo Nation's scouting ships had passed more than half of the distance to Homesick Island, and they were still moving forward.
Yang Rui had been hovering above several waves of Wo Nation's exploration ships and his own ship. Yang Rui didn't come up empty-handed. After several rounds of exploration, Yang Rui inadvertently seemed to catch a vague pattern.
The two scouting ships sent by Yang Rui were often far away from each other. The Wo Nation's scouting ships seemed to be able to make targeted maneuvers. One or two cases could be explained as coincidences, but the repeated occurrence of the same situation attracted Yang Rui's attention.
Although similar situations didn't apply to all of Yang Rui's scouting ships, after several times, Yang Rui could basically determine that the Wo Nation's scouting ships should have some special means to find out the movements of Yang Rui's scouting ships!
Thinking of the previous battle, when the Wo Nation's tribesmen discovered the movements of Zhang He's fleet from a long distance, Yang Rui could infer that there should be a connection between the two. The Wo Nation's scouting abilities were the same in both cases.
