For two consecutive days, Yang Rui had personally participated in the reconnaissance at the forefront. The Japanese troops on Prince Beard Island were still biding their time. No one knew what they were planning to do.
If the two sides continued to be in a stalemate, their respective logistical supplies would be under a lot of pressure.
Although Yang Rui did not know how rich the Japanese troops were in terms of provisions, Yang Rui knew very well about the Three Kingdoms' troops. There were a total of 18 forces with more than one million troops, and their respective provisions were only enough to last for a month.
Even with Yang Rui's coordination, the armies of the Three Kingdoms would not be able to last for more than two months without supplies.
Of course, Yang Rui could transfer provisions from Shrimp Island to meet the army's needs without any problems. The distance from Homesickness Island to Shrimp Island was actually only one or two times longer than Prince Beard Island. They could make a round trip in two or three game days.
Prince Beard Island was further away from the Japanese civilization's Honshu. In comparison, Yang Rui still had the advantage in terms of logistical supplies. If this dragged on for a long time, the Japanese troops would also bear a lot of logistical pressure.
It was necessary to introduce the route from Shrimp Island to Honshu. The route in the game was not the shortest distance between the two places, but the most suitable route. The route from Shrimp Island to Honshu was much more roundabout than in reality.
For example, the locations of Homesickness Island and Prince Beard Island deviated a lot from the west. In the game, ships could only move in the direction of the route at sea.
It did not mean that other areas could not be navigated, but there were a lot of unknown dangers, such as high-level monsters and extreme weather. This was the state of national barriers when they existed.
This situation was set by national barriers. Therefore, it was safer to navigate in the direction of the route before one had extraordinary strength.
Of course, the range of the route was still very wide. In addition, the system had set it as the first battlefield. That was why Yang Rui and the Japanese troops could fight in the vast sea between Homesickness Island and Prince Beard Island.
On the third day of the game, Yang Rui set off early in the morning with the exploration team as usual. He brought 20 turtle warships with him, preparing to attack the Wo tribal ships around Prince Beard Island.
After two days of investigation, Yang Rui found that the Wo Nation's ships were only active in a limited area around Prince Beard Island. Even the ships responsible for scouting did not go too far from the island.
Most of the ships were idle. Even though the distance between the exploration ships and Prince Beard Island was limited, they were still isolated and helpless. Yang Rui had brought 20 turtle warships with him to deal with these Japanese exploration ships.
However, Yang Rui was still unable to determine whether the Nihon forces still had more dolphins in their hands to transmit information. Were they deliberately shrinking in order to lure the enemy in, or were they really unable to maintain the requirement of further exploration?
Therefore, although Yang Rui had brought some warships over, he would not act rashly. Unless he was sure that he could leave immediately after the attack, the turtle warships would have room to play.
After Yang Rui really arrived at the range of the Wo Nation's activities on Prince Beard Island, he found that the Wo Nation's activities were much larger. Most of the ships were even acting alone!
At this time, if he used the turtle warships to attack, the results would be very good. However, Yang Rui would not do that, because Wako Uesugi's family emblem was hanging on every ship responsible for scouting.
It was Wako Uesugi! When Yang Rui saw the flag, he was almost certain that Wako Uesugi had taken the initiative to expand the range of activities in order to meet him.
Yang Rui quickly found Wako Uesugi's ship among the many exploration ships. It was very conspicuous because the child had been standing at the bow of the ship.
"Milord!"
Seeing Yang Rui dive down from the back of the Golden Sparrow Hawk, Wako Uesugi immediately noticed Yang Rui and went forward to greet him. He quietly pulled Yang Rui into the cabin. It was obvious that the child had been paying attention to the movements in the air.
"Child, it's not good to stay for long when the two armies are facing each other. You and I will keep it short. Do you know the existence of the Pufferfish?"
This time, there was no need for Wako Uesugi to remind him. Yang Rui took the initiative to speak.
"Milord, I was just about to tell you about this matter.
Before this, Admiral Shimazu had been using the two Pufferfish to scout and transmit information. Three days ago, all the troops in charge of scouting disappeared, including the 41 ships.
I secretly guessed that this should be Milord's doing, right?
At this time, Admiral Shimazu has lost the Pufferfish as a means of scouting, and he is deeply afraid of the power of Milord's ships. Therefore, he has only limited his troops to move around Wangwhisker Island and use the island as a means of defense.
At the same time, Admiral Shimazu sent ships back to his territory to retrieve the Pufferfish so that he can recover his long-range scouting ability. The round trip will take at least 10 game days. At that time, he will fight Milord again. At this time, it has already been close to 2 game days … "
When Wako Uesugi saw Yang Rui take the initiative to mention the Pufferfish, her pair of beautiful eyes quivered. She had already guessed the general situation. She immediately revealed the information that Yang Rui wanted to know.
"Are you sure that there are only two Pufferfish on Wangwhisker Island?"
At this time, Yang Rui didn't care about the identity of Admiral Shimazu that the child mentioned. He also didn't care about how the Pufferfish transmitted information. All his attention was focused on the fact that the Nihon tribe didn't have any Pufferfish for the time being.
If the Nihon tribe indeed only had two Pufferfish, they had all been captured by Yang Rui at this time. In other words, the Nihon tribe had temporarily lost their long-range scouting ability!
It also meant that the troops commanded by Yang Rui wouldn't be exposed so easily. At the same time, Yang Rui had flying reconnaissance units, which could obtain information on the battlefield first. The information acquisition ability of the two sides was completely unequal.
Yang Rui also had the "heavy firepower" of the turreted ships that the Nihon tribe feared. In this case, it wouldn't be difficult for Yang Rui to defeat the opponent.
Next, Yang Rui repeatedly confirmed the relevant information with Wako Uesugi. His original idea of completely leaving the Nihon tribe on Wangwhisker Island sprouted again. At this time, the Nihon tribe was deaf and blind in terms of information. An opportunity had appeared.
"Child, from today on, you only need to do this and cooperate with my actions …"
Yang Rui thought for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered to Wako Uesugi.
