Yang Rui gave Wako Uesugi some instructions and quickly left the waters around Wang Huzi Island. There were no other strange movements in the surrounding waters that day.
However, Yang Rui didn't stay idle. After returning to Homesick Island, Yang Rui began to mobilize his troops, preparing to deal a thunderous blow to the Wo Nation tribes according to his agreement with Wako Uesugi.
"Generals, listen to my orders. Tomorrow, we will fight the Wo Nation tribes on Wang Huzi Island. I will personally be the vanguard commander, attacking the Wo Nation tribes' ships and chasing the fleeing ships to create an opportunity for the following troops to land on the island.
Zhang He and Feng Ji will be the first echelon of support. Go out to sea at three in the morning. If there is an opportunity, take advantage of the opportunity to attack Wang Huzi Island. Trace Dragon Soul will be the second echelon of support. Go out to sea at five in the morning and assist in the battle depending on the situation. Ji Ling will continue to guard Homesick Island … "
This time, Yang Rui also ordered Ji Ling to defend Homesick Island. Yang Rui himself would be the main vanguard, while Zhang He would be the first echelon of support. Trace Dragon Soul would be the second echelon of support.
Yang Rui had naturally thought of this arrangement in advance. Although Yang Rui wanted to directly attack Wang Huzi Island, he knew how difficult it would be. Therefore, Yang Rui's actual goal in this battle was to destroy as many of the Wo Nation tribes' ships as possible.
"Yes!"
"…"
Zhang He, Ji Ling, Trace Dragon Soul, and the others all accepted the mission. Originally, Feng Ji wanted to suggest that Zhang He be responsible for guarding the island, but Zhang He agreed readily. In the end, Feng Ji didn't say anything.
Dragon Soul and Burning Snow were aware of Yang Rui's sudden actions. They knew that Yang Rui was plotting something, and that he had a high chance of succeeding. However, they tacitly agreed not to ask about it.
Both of them knew very well that their relationship with Yang Rui was at its best ever since they entered the game. They had already done all the work they needed to do. Even if they weren't sure if Yang Rui would share the benefits with Yang Rui, they felt that Yang Rui wouldn't harm them.
Only Ji Ling's expression remained unchanged. It was hard for outsiders to tell what he was thinking.
Staying behind on the Homesick Island was naturally the safest mission. It was the best way to preserve one's strength. However, it was also impossible to obtain many benefits. It would be very difficult to obtain merit points.
After the order was passed down, Yang Rui had all his troops prepare for battle. At the same time, he took advantage of the time and led all his troops out once again when the sky was about to turn dark. His goal was to replicate the previous night's sneak attack on the submerged reefs.
A few days had passed, and the high tide in the morning was much earlier. Yang Rui's troops didn't have to stay too long on the submerged reefs. All in all, they had only been there for six hours.
In his agreement with Wako Uesugi, Yang Rui had already told him the time of the attack. He also wanted him to lead his troops out of Prince's Beard Island before dawn.
For this war, Wako Uesugi had brought along fifty thousand Uesugi Shadow Warriors. Nearly half of them were Sixth Grade soldiers. They could be said to be the core of Wako Uesugi's strength. Naturally, Yang Rui wouldn't allow them to suffer any losses.
However, it wasn't easy for fifty thousand soldiers to leave Prince's Beard Island in the middle of the night without anyone noticing. They had to prepare a reasonable reason to avoid any unexpected situations. Moreover, the reason had to be sufficient to not alert others.
Fortunately, after Wako Uesugi took on the task of patrolling, he could legitimately set up the tents beside the dock. At the same time, many of the soldiers could stay on the ship and not go ashore.
Wako Uesugi ordered the soldiers to patrol until nightfall. During this patrol, several batches of soldiers came and went. The soldiers needed to eat and rest. The actions of the children's troops didn't attract anyone's attention. No one noticed that there were very few soldiers who went ashore, and the number of soldiers who went ashore was constantly accumulating.
When night fell, Wako Uesugi had already ordered the soldiers to set up a large camp. He also rested normally with the other tribes on the island. However, they still had to take turns to board the ship to patrol a small area.
These actions were very normal. Still, no one noticed anything wrong. No one knew that the children's tents were only surrounded by a circle of soldiers. The insides were mostly empty.
Wako Uesugi was even invited by the Japanese generals to the central tent of the island for drinks and banquets. He only returned to his tent area when it was very late. All the activities were normal, which created an atmosphere for the children's next actions.
Before the dawn, the children had completely transferred their troops to the ship and quietly slipped away according to the time agreed with Yang Rui. They soon disappeared in the sea in the direction of Honshu.
It was a pity that the children could only control their own ships. The ships of the other forces were anchored around the island by their own forces and were guarded by special personnel. Wako Uesugi couldn't take them away.
Of course, if Wako Uesugi took the initiative to attack the ships that were guarded by a few soldiers, he would definitely be able to achieve a lot before the others could react. However, if that happened, Wako Uesugi would probably not be able to establish a foothold in the Japanese civilization.
Wako Uesugi slipped away during the patrol mission, which could be considered as the reason for the wrong direction. However, if the children's troops were to target the forces of their civilization, they would inevitably be judged by the system as a change of camp. Regardless of merit or points, they would become negative.
The most important thing was that the entire Japanese civilization would become a hostile camp. How would the children be able to establish a foothold then?
Therefore, Yang Rui only allowed the children to slip away to achieve the purpose of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. He didn't use the children's power to deal with the other participants of the Japanese civilization.
On the other hand, not long after Uesugi kid and his 50 thousand soldiers left Wong Beard Island, the 45 ships commanded by Yang Rui had already rushed to the sea area near Wong Beard Island. There was less than a quarter of an hour difference between the two.
"Hualala …"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! "
"…"
The sky was not yet bright, and there was no warning from the patrol ships. Almost no one on Prince Beard Island noticed in time. Amidst the sound of the rising tide, the whistling sound of arrows piercing through the air began to be mixed with the sound of whistling arrows!
Yang Rui rushed over to Prince Beard Island, which was still in a deep slumber. First, he divided the 45 ships into groups of five, and spread them as widely as possible around Prince Beard Island. Then, he launched a fierce attack on the ships that were most densely anchored.
"Puff! Puff! Puff … "
"…"
The cannons and crossbows on the warships were extremely powerful. The ships of the Wo Nation were hit one after another and began to sink.
Although the Japanese ships were guarded by people, they were only guarding. Most of the ships didn't have enough people to start the ships. Therefore, after Yang Rui attacked, no ship was able to fight back or escape.
