Three transport ships, loaded with grain and grass, sailed quietly in the silent night sea. Surrounding the three transport ships, there were naturally guarding warships.
The sergeants on these frigates are even more elite than the fleet commanded by Suo Nan.
As the saying goes, "The army has not moved yet, but the food and grass go first."
There is another saying, "The most important thing in a military battle is to run out of food."
It can be seen that the efficiency and smoothness of food and grass supply play an important role in war.
Therefore, the major forces attach great importance to food and grass. It is also very common in the civil war of All-Star Archipelago to dispatch more elite fleets to ensure supply routes.
Immortal Pouch cannot load grain and grass. Immortal Pouch is specially manufactured to load Demon Beast, Demon Plant, and Demon Weapon.
Of course, Demon Weapon loaded with grain and grass is also available.
For example, Sima Zhong on List of Extraordinary People now has the top-notch Demon Weapon cloth bag, which is loaded with seeds of exotic flowers and plants. Therefore, Yuyao is called "cloth seed world". His bag can hold grain and grass, and its capacity is large, which can last for about a week for thousands of people.
However, his cloth bag is dozens of times the size of Immortal Pouch. It is like a sack and must be carried on his body at ordinary times. Since the spaces cannot overlap each other, this Demon Weapon cloth bag cannot be stored in Immortal Pouch.
The idea that "soldiers carry bags around their waists and carry large amounts of food and grass" has been proven by history to be unrealistic.
After a long evolution, transport ships have become a mature and cost-effective means of transportation.
Most of these Demon Weapons are of the Lesser Demon series, but the space in the cabin is very large and can store a large amount of grain and grass. If it is a transport ship of the Great Demon series, the loading capacity is even greater. However, there is almost no transport ship of the Spirit Demon series. No one will invest in a transport ship and build it into a Spirit Demon.
The person guarding this grain transport team was a young general named Dian and Long Tao.
Wei Family Island Although the surname is Wei, there are still a large number of people with different surnames.
Dian Longtao.
It's a good name.
Among the Demon Beasts, the Dragon Master is often very powerful and his combat power exceeds that of the Demon Beasts of the same level. Like a dragon, he can roll over the waves. This name places high hopes on him from his elders.
Dian Longtao has thick eyebrows and big ears, wearing Lesser Demon series armor. He is sitting on the deck at this time, wiping the Great Demon steel gun in his hand.
The sea breeze was strong and air-conditioned at night, but it could not extinguish the blood that was gradually boiling in his body.
This was his first official expedition. Although he was only a grain transport officer, it was enough to arouse his yearning for war.
These are troubled times.
All good men want to go into battle to kill the enemy and make achievements.
"I really want to follow General Suo Nan and go into battle to kill the enemy together!" He sighed deeply and slandered these allies again, "These people are all working for a living, and the alliance was very neat, but after so long, they have not joined forces to kill Shu Family Island!"
At this time, he still didn't understand the nature of this war.
This is a battle of interests. To suppress the development momentum of Shu Family Island, it would be better if Shu Family Island could be destroyed.
But among the 14 families, no one is willing to take the lead and bite the hard nut of Shu Family Island. Whoever takes the lead will suffer the most and will end up taking advantage of others.
The heads of the major factions are not fools. Therefore, they delay everything and refuse to join forces. Once the troops join forces, in full view of the public, it will be difficult to find excuses to evade.
"Report! Our fleet appears ahead. It seems to be a great victory. We have captured a Treasure Ship!" At this time, a lookout handed down a message.
"Really?" Dian Longtao suddenly stood up, looking excited, "Treasure Ship? That's a large ship that can carry thousands of people. My three ordinary warships can only carry more than a thousand people together. This is a big victory!"
Then, he frowned and ordered, "The entire army is on alert, communicate with the other party, stop moving forward. Send a small boat up to confirm."
It's not that he discovered anything strange, but it was the first time he went on an expedition and he remembered the words his father told him before leaving, "Be cautious! Be cautious! Be cautious again!".
Soon, his subordinates came to report and saw General Suo Nan with their own eyes. It was indeed a great victory for our side.
Dian Longtao looked intently again, and saw Suo Nan standing on the bow of Treasure Ship, looking down at him from a high position. He immediately stopped doubting, felt relieved, and saluted. "Grain Transport Officer Dian Longtao, meet the general!"
"Well, come up and talk." General Suo Nan said coldly. At this time, the ships on both sides were very close.
Dian Longtao had no doubt that he was there. He stepped on Treasure Ship. After a closer look, he put aside the last trace of doubt in his heart and found that it was indeed General Suo Nan.
"Could this Treasure Ship be the same one as Shu Clan?" He stared at Treasure Ship with eager eyes.
"What do you think?" General Suo Nan asked in return.
Dian Longtao said in a tone of envy mixed with excitement, "The general has made a great contribution this time, and the island owner will definitely be rewarded!"
Just as he finished speaking, his body suddenly shook violently, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. He covered his throat with both hands, and an unprecedented severe pain came from there!
"S-General Suo Nan?!" He looked at General Suo Nan in disbelief, never expecting that the other party would suddenly take action and cut his own throat with a dagger.
Streams of blood overflowed from between his fingers. Dian Longtao staggered back a few steps, finally gave up and fell to the ground with a thud.
Blood flowed freely along the deck.
Soon, he died.
Staring with big eyes, he would not close his eyes until death.
The Great Demon grade steel gun was left on the ship by him. The Lesser Demon armor he was wearing could not even activate the guard method.
Spirit Beast Master is powerful, but also extremely fragile. Once Spirit Beast Master is killed, no matter how powerful the demon spirit is, it will immediately become a free wild demon. Although Dian Longtao is cautious, it is limited by its vision and was poisoned.
"General Dian!" The strange thing on the deck was quickly noticed and people screamed in surprise.
However, the Chu Yun side had no intention of hiding it. General "Suo Nan" took advantage of this opportunity and shouted condescendingly, "This general has abandoned the dark side and defected to Shu Family Island. Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"
The transport ships and frigates were all in chaos, their general was killed, they were leaderless, and they had no idea for a moment.
"He must be a fake. Let's kill him and avenge General Dian!" After all, they were an elite unit. There were many tough soldiers in the army, and they became agitated. Soon a force was formed and rushed towards Chu Yun.
A contact battle broke out immediately, and the shouts of killing shook the heaven and earth.
Chu Yun led more than 10 Copper Bell Elite Soldiers and more than 20 scholars. They had been waiting for a long time and suddenly appeared to confront the opponent's warriors.
He activated the Snow Fang Dao method, and Drunken Snow Blade was as big as a door panel. He waved it left and right, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and was unstoppable. The opponent's warriors only had one or two Lesser Demon at most, and most of them were ordinary people. Who could be their opponent? They were immediately chopped down and fell to pieces.
Because Dian Longtao was attacked and killed, and "General Suo Nan" suppressed it, the opponent's morale dropped sharply. This battle ended quickly. Chu Yun eradicated the die-hards in the army and captured more than 200 people.
Three transport ships and three frigates were all captured by him. Since then, his men have owned a large Treasure Ship, 9 ordinary warships, and 3 grain ships. Select some of the prisoners to form an army of 400 people, led by the Shu Clan soldiers.
He did not dare to use all the surrendered prisoners. Shu Clan had few soldiers. If he defected on the battlefield, the consequences would be disastrous. Such a scale is the limit, so there is no need to worry about mutiny.
"This plan to suspect the enemy was so successful. I owe it to Brother Shi!" In Treasure Ship, in the temporarily opened combat conference room, Chu Yun gathered a group of people. He was the first to praise Jin Bihan.
Originally, Chu Yun planned to attack by force, but Jin Bihan suddenly stood up and proposed a suspicious strategy. He said that he had the means and could use it as a disguise.
Her Golden Cicada Garment is Dunhuang Kingdom, the treasure of the country. Possessing the best-level camouflage technique, she transformed into General Suo Nan. Even the prisoners on the ship could not see any flaws in her image.
Chu Yun was immediately overjoyed and asked Jin Bihan to disguise himself as General Suo Nan. This was how he planned to earn Dian Longtao and capture the grain transport ship.
After praising him, Chu Yun immediately appointed himself a general, leading Copper Bell Elite Soldiers and the centurions. He appointed Yan Que as deputy general, leading a hundred people. He also appointed Jin Bihan as military advisor. He also selected two outstanding scholars to serve as centurions, each leading a hundred people.
Since then, the army in hand can be considered to have been successfully built, and it looks a little bit like it.
As for the others, Chu Yun did not miss them. They all praised and appeased them. They also appropriated part of the captured loot on the spot. There were naturally a large number of elixirs in the grain transport ship. These were all grains and grasses to be fed to Demon Beast, and there were also fine products among them. Chu Yun had nothing to gain, so he took out these fine elixirs and distributed them.
For a time, everyone was excited and their morale was high.
The spoils of war were only secondary. The key was that it was their first time to experience a scene like war. In the past, they were all small-time fights in the academy. Another two consecutive victories established a lot of confidence.
Many people look at Chu Yun with the brilliance of stars. They feel that following Chu Yun, there is really a bright future.
Chu Yun also had little experience in leading troops in his previous life. Although he spent most of his time as a lone ranger, he also learned a lot in the academy. After two small battles, he was the one who grew the fastest.
After scanning the crowd, Chu Yun nodded secretly, feeling that the morale of the military was available. He immediately added, "With two consecutive victories, Wei Family Island lost a fleet and two generals, which can be regarded as a strain. But Wei Family Island is a second-rate force and still has enough energy to continue sending fleets to force Shu Family Island. It is better to do nothing and capture Wei Family Island while Wei Family Island does not react!"
