The World Online - Chapter 704

[Chapter 703]
Genius 3 seconds to remember the site URL 【 】The night is as dark as ink, with dark clouds overwhelming the top.
In the ink-splashed night sky, not a single star can be seen, and even half of the waning moon is quietly hidden in the clouds and disappears.
The entire night sky is like a black and boundless canvas, depressing and suffocating.
The cold wind blows, rolls up bursts of dark clouds, rolls up and down, forming an unusual picture scroll.
Chibi crawled quietly in the night, like a beast with its fangs closed, slowly accumulating energy, waiting for dawn, and preparing to tear all enemies into pieces.
In Wulin Water Village on the west bank of Chibi, nearly a hundred large and small warships loomed in the night, like a group of ghosts, quietly lurking in their lairs.
On the edge of the battleship deck, there are torches, and the flames are shining.
Against the backdrop of the fire, the surface of the Shuizhai River is shimmering.
On the deck of the battleship, there were occasional trampling sounds of patrolling guards walking back and forth.
In the unremarkable cabin, there was a faint yelling sound, as if some sergeants were gambling together to beat the boring night.
Even the soldiers on night watch were chatting quietly.
“This damn weather is so cold that a bird can be bored!”
“Who says it’s not? After staying in this bird place in Uri Bajo for so long, I haven’t even seen a ghost. You said we hid Why is that?”
“That’s something the lord is thinking about, why are you guessing!”
“That’s right, what are you doing talking about these useless things!”
“It’s better to get through this class quickly and go back to bed. That’s what you call comfortable!”
“Everyone be quiet, pay attention to vigilance!” The captain who led the team finally couldn’t stand it anymore and stopped talking.
The night returned to silence, and there were occasional whispers of complaints in the cold wind.
In the center of the water village, a five-story-high giant building towered like a flock of chickens, surrounded by other warships, like a king, commanding the other warships, aloof.
That boat is Xiongba’s flagship—Bawang.
In this battle, Xiongba is in charge of guarding Wulin, while the opposite Chibi is guarded by War Wolf.
On the top floor of the Bawang, in the luxuriously decorated study room, Xiong Ba, dressed in military uniform, sits in front of the desk.
A beautiful oil lamp was lit in front of the desk. The night wind blew, and the lamp swayed from side to side, and it was
about to go out.
The erratic lights made Xiong Ba’s face a bit hideous.
The window of the study room creaked in the cold wind, which was extremely ear-piercing.
“Is it windy?”
Xiongba got up and went to the window, ready to close it.
He looked up at the pitch-black night outside the window, and frowned, “The moon is dark and the stars are hidden, such weather is abnormal!”
As the saying goes, abnormality is a monster.
For some reason, since the day, Xiongba has been a little restless, he always feels that something bad will happen.
The ink-splashed night made Xiong Ba feel oppressed and suffocated.
“But there’s no reason!” Xiong Ba shook his head and vetoed, trying to shake off the messy thoughts in his head.
Slightly suppressing the emotions in his heart, Xiongba simply closed the window, not wanting to see the eerie night again.
As early as half a month before the start of the battle, the [Yanhuang League] was already preparing for the battle.
In Dichen’s words, no matter what, the [Yanhuang League] must take this opportunity to completely suppress the arrogance of the [Shanhai League] and regain the right to speak in China.
The explosion in the first half of the year was a process of [Yanhuang League] accumulating energy.
Shanhai City was promoted to a third-level county city, which slightly suppressed their fierce fighting momentum.
But it is always irrelevant to the overall situation, the real competition is still on the battle map.
After acquiring the artillery manufacturing technology, Xiongba is even more confident.
“Qiyue Wuyi, it’s time for you to make a big somersault!” Although Xiongba admires Qiyue Wuyi’s achievements, it doesn’t mean that Xiongba doesn’t want to defeat Qiyue Wuyi.
On the contrary, this desire to win, Xiongba is more intense than anyone else.
The Yizhou Island battle was generally regarded by the outside world as a game between the [Yanhuang League] and the [Shanhai League].
The result was naturally the [Yanhuang League] victory, which was a good footnote for the strong rise of the [Yanhuang League] in the first half of the year, and became a symbolic event of the ebb and flow of the two giants.
Naturally, he would not think so superficially about the tyranny among the parties.
Although taking Yizhou Island was Xiong Ba’s proud work, he also publicly or secretly publicized the fruitful results of this war on different occasions in order to enhance the prestige of Bawang City.
But to say that this is a game between the two major alliances is a bit exaggerated.
Xiongba knew very well that from the beginning to the end, Shanhai City did not intervene in this battle.
Otherwise, among other things, if Shanhai City’s Jiaozhou Fleet intervened in the war, it would be enough for Bawang City to drink.
After defeating Xunlong City, Xiongba borrowed a lot from the successful model of Qiongzhou Island in the operation of Yizhou Island, such as introducing shipbuilding industry, salt industry, and adventure players to jointly develop marine resources.
For Yizhou Island, Xiongba devoted too much effort.
Xiongba’s ambition is to divide the sea area of China with Shanhai City equally, one in the north and one in the south.
Yizhou Island is the first dividing line between the two sides.
To realize this ambition, the Battle of Chibi is a key node.
Xiongba must prove on the battlefield that even in water battles, the navy of Bawang City can defeat the legendary Shanhai City navy that has been rumored to be miraculous.
From this, it is not difficult to understand why Xiongba attaches so much importance to this war.
It even goes so far as to say that in order to defeat the Shanhai City fleet, Xiongba gave up on conquering the historical generals on the battle map, allowing Di Chen, Chun Shenjun and others to take the lead.
Outside of the battlefield, Xiongba has also done a lot of work.
For example, the third-party forces that have secretly contacted Xunlong Dianxue are actually hidden forces secretly cultivated by the Xiongba family.
Its purpose is to stir up internal strife in the [Shanhai League].
Xunlong Diancu and Siege Lion chose Sun Liu’s camp, which undoubtedly proved the success of Xiongba’s strategy.
For Xunlong’s acupoints, to be honest, Xiongba is somewhat contemptuous.
In Xiongba’s eyes, Xunlong and acupuncture point is just a piece of shit luck, and he got the relationship with Shanhai City to get to where he is now.
How can a real commoner lord fight against aristocratic families like them.
The only difference is that there is no clothes.
Therefore, the determination of the major families to eliminate this anomaly has never wavered.
“It’s just, it’s difficult!”
Thinking of Shanhai City’s achievements in this ocean voyage, Xiongba felt a little frustrated.
Even on the campaign map, they’re not doing well.
The quick and easy annihilation of Lu Su’s army undoubtedly gave Xiong Ba and Zhan Lang a blow.
The first ring of the plan was a complete failure.
Calculated according to the time, Shanhai City’s fleet should have arrived at Chibi two days ago.
The results of it?
They waited in full force, their nerves tensed, they were both nervous and excited, but they were in vain.
The Shanhai City fleet seemed to have disappeared.
Xiongba also speculated whether the Shanhaicheng fleet had given up on Chibi and went to attack Liu Bei instead.
After all, Liu Bei has huge baits such as Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, and Shanhai City has every reason to go there.
The information received in the evening denied this speculation.
In order to achieve long-distance communication on the battle map, [Yanhuang League] also took great pains.
They spent a lot of money to buy four golden eagle spirit beasts from an adventure team.
This spirit beast is extraordinary, it can really travel thousands of miles a day and pass information back and forth.
In this way, the three teams of [Yanhuang League] distributed in Chibi, Dongting Lake and Yunmengze can maintain smooth communication and report information to each other.
It was Mr. Chunshen who received the information in the evening.
Although the two have rifts, they are both extremely rational people, and they can still cooperate with each other on the battle map.
According to Chun Shenjun’s report, the situation on their side is also a bit bad.
As early as when Lu Su’s army was destroyed, Huang Gai sent a letter to Liu Bei, asking for a merger and a joint rescue of Chibi.
The problem is, Liu Bei was busy taking over Changsha County at that time, so how could he leave immediately.
Liu Bei’s refusal undoubtedly angered Huang Gai.
Huang Gai directly reprimanded Liu Bei for treachery in the letter, saying: Liu Bei was chased by Cao Cao at that time, like a dog that lost his family. It was Jiang Dong who kindly took him in and gave him a place to live.
It was Jiangdong’s army that defeated the menacing Cao Cao’s army in one fell swoop, shattering the undefeated myth of Cao Cao’s army.
In this way, Liu Bei was able to linger on his last breath, preferring to settle down.
Now that Chibi is in trouble, Liu Bei only wants to occupy the territory, but does not send troops to reinforce it, it is really shameless.
Such a letter humiliated Liu Bei to the point of shame, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei even exploded on the spot, muttering that they wanted to lead troops to fight Huang Gai.
Fortunately, Liu Bei knew he was wrong, so he finally stopped the two of them and avoided a “civil war”.
Even so, the two sides have developed suspicions and can no longer cooperate.
Huang Gai, who was so angry, had already personally led the army and came towards Chibi.
Calculated according to the time, it will take three days to reach Chibi.
As for Liu Bei, he was not really indifferent.
While Liu Bei was busy appeasing the people of Changsha and stabilizing the rule of Changsha, he was already preparing for an expedition.
At the same time, in order to appease the Jiangdong Group, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to lead the vanguard of the navy and set off early.
In other words, the Shanhai City fleet did not attack Liu Bei at all at this time.
In this way, Xiong Ba and Zhan Lang were unpredictable.
Logically speaking, if you really want to attack Chibi, the sooner the better.
It has been delayed for a long time, waiting for the army from all sides to gather in Chibi, what should we do at that time, will there be another pot?
Xiongba didn’t believe it, how could Wuyi be so arrogant.
“There must be something wrong here!” Xiongba thought, “But where is the problem?”
Regarding this point, Xiongba couldn’t figure it out.
“Could it be that there are traitors here, and Ouyang Shuo already knew about Chibi’s arrangement? That’s why the Shanhai City fleet didn’t dare to come?” Xiongba can’t be blamed for being suspicious, they really can’t afford to lose this battle.
Xiongba focused his suspicion on the other lords.
All of a sudden, Chibi was jittery, and the tense atmosphere has not been relieved until now.
But after checking and checking, there was nothing suspicious.
In this way, Xiongba shut himself in the study, thinking hard.
So far, it doesn’t seem to be working.
“Forget it, go to sleep!” Xiongba finally sighed, got up and left the study.
The oil lamp in the study gradually went out and turned into pitch black again.
The night became thicker and darker.
As night fell, even the sergeants who had gathered to gamble had dispersed, and each took a rest.
The water village became quieter and quieter, leaving no sound of the cold wind blowing.
At this moment, a group of “ghosts” sneaked in from the bottom of the water village and went straight to the Bawang.
An unexpected fight is about to be staged in this dark night.
This night is destined not to be peaceful!
