In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

Unlike the battle between two armies on land, which often lasts three to five months, or even a year and a half.

The confrontation in naval battles is undoubtedly faster, and the emphasis is on taking the enemy by surprise, mostly blitzkrieg.

The reason is also very simple.

Because on the sea, both logistics and war replenishment have great limitations and unpredictability. If the battle cannot be ended in a short time, the final outcome of the war will be difficult to predict.

Although Yang An promised not to interfere with the combat command of the Tianhai Corps.

But this non-interference means not interfering with the internal command system of the Tianhai Corps, and not commanding the generals and soldiers of the Tianhai Corps to fight across levels.

It does not mean that all matters related to the encirclement and suppression of the White Demon Pirates will be handed over to the Tianhai Corps, and let the Tianhai Corps' commander Wang Haichao command him in turn.

In essence, the real decision maker of this war is still Yang An, the prince of Daqian.

Therefore, after the Tianhai Corps received the combat order issued by Yang An, even if they had some doubts, they had to execute it. They soon entered a state of preparation, waiting for Yang An's order to attack Baishen Island.

...

Just before the dawn of the third day when the main force of the Tianhai Corps arrived in Kagoshima.

Accompanied by the simultaneous explosion of the 36 main ship guns of the Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship and thousands of spirit crystal cannons.

Under the dark night sky, it seemed as if a big sun rose, illuminating the entire sea area.

Then, thousands of energy light beams poured down from the sky, like thousands of giant dragons roaring and roaring, and huge roars sounded continuously between heaven and earth.

Hundreds of ships, arrow towers, sentries, traps, reefs, formation nodes, etc. were all destroyed in an instant.

The terrifying energy shock wave set off huge waves dozens of feet high in the sea, and endless light and fire enveloped the entire island. The entire Baishen Island was trembling under the attack of the Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship.

Rumble!

Like thousands of dark thunders exploding between heaven and earth.

After completing the first round of psychic attacks, the Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship did not stop. The dazzling light bloomed again, and the sky-filled energy light beams fell again like the sickle of the god of death, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of Baishen Island.

However, unlike the first round of scattered attacks on the ships, arrow towers, traps, reefs, and formation nodes on Baishen Island.

The second round of attacks by the Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship all gathered together and landed on the only city on Baishen Island, Baishen City.

The terrifying energy beams poured down from the sky, as if to destroy the entire earth.

However, before the energy beams fell over Baishen City, a blood-colored energy shield appeared out of thin air, blocking all the psychic attacks falling from the sky.

It was the Baishen City's protective formation that was activated in time.

"The reaction is quite fast."

Yang An stood on the deck of the Qianjia No. 9 flying tower ship, looking at the burning Baishen Island below and the blood-covered Baishen City, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Send the order down, carry out free attacks, and plow all the locations on the island where ships, traps, and formation nodes may be hidden. There is no need to save spirit crystals."

"Also send a message to Wang Haichao, asking him to wait until the waves subside, and then take people to the island directly to destroy all the ships and flying boats of the White Demon Pirate Group. No pirates can escape."

As the saying goes: when you are poor, you can use tactics to intersperse, and when you are rich, you can use firepower to cover!

Although the spirit crystal reserves in the Qianjia No. 9 flying tower ship are far less than those in Tiannan City, and even the Baishen City below may not be as good.

But it is still no problem to support dozens of rounds of naval artillery attacks.

The only pity is that the area of ​​Baishen Island below is not small, with a radius of two or three hundred miles, which is almost the size of a county in the Daqian Dynasty.

If the area of ​​Baishen Island could be three or five times smaller, or the island structure was not pyramid-shaped, with the powerful firepower of Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship, there would be no need for such trouble. After a few rounds of attack, the entire island could be sunk directly.

Unfortunately, the pirates are not stupid.

Pirates of the size of the Baishen Pirates must consider the attacks of the powerful celestial beings and the artillery attacks of the Class A flying boats when choosing their nests.

Once the island where the nest is located is not well chosen.

I am afraid that the enemy does not need to attack head-on. Just by raising a tsunami, destroying the island structure, and attacking with psychic cannons, you can bury the people and the island in the sea.

In addition, in order to guard against sudden attacks and high-altitude attacks by the enemy.

Everyone also built underground palace air-raid shelters, stored a large amount of food and spiritual crystal energy, etc., in preparation for a protracted war.

Of course, this is not the characteristic of the White Demon Pirates, but every city will have this consideration at the beginning of its construction.

Because this world is different from the ordinary historical world. As early as the ancient immortal era, people had learned how to quickly respond to attacks from high altitudes.

This kind of high-altitude attack is not only the attack of the flying boat's spirit crystal cannon, but also the aftermath of the fight between powerful monks.

So after seeing the defense formation of Baishen City was activated, Yang An directly stopped the spirit crystal cannon attack on Baishen City, and let everyone freely fire on Baishen Island, destroying all areas where ships and flying boats may be hidden, where there may be traps, reefs, and formation nodes.

It's not that Yang An didn't want to directly use the firepower of Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship to directly destroy the formation defense of Baishen City.

But after he saw that all the artillery fire of Qianjia No. 9 could not destroy the defense formation of Baishen City, he knew that it was impossible to destroy the defense formation of Baishen City with Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship.

The reason is very simple.

Because he did not think that the spiritual crystals stored on Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship could compete with the spiritual crystals stored in the city below.

In the final analysis.

The upper limit of weapons such as spiritual crystal cannons is too low after all.

Even the main ship gun of Qianjia No. 9 Flying Tower Ship can only threaten the second-grade Dharma Master of Martial Arts, and is not enough to break the defense formation of a big city.

So if you want to break the defense formation of Baishen City, you can only use more powerful forces.

Either let the Tianhai Corps form a military formation and try to break it with the power of the Corps' battle formation.

Or let the Tianren Grandmaster take action directly.

Of course, you can also consume it slowly until the city's reserve spiritual crystals are exhausted, or the food and grass are exhausted.

This is also the main method for the army to attack the city.

After all, the opening and maintenance of the city's defense array consumes a lot of spirit crystals. Once there is no spirit crystal replenishment, even the most powerful defense array will be in vain.

Yang An asked the Tianhai Corps to land on the island, intending to let the Tianhai Corps consume the spirit crystals of Baishen City by attacking the city with a large army.

As for why Li Ruhai was not allowed to take action and directly break the Baishen City defense array?

There are reasons for this.

First of all, it is a question of unspoken rules.

Under normal circumstances, a first-grade Tianren Grandmaster of martial arts will not take action unless necessary.

Just like the United States would not use atomic bombs or hydrogen bombs in the war against small countries in the Middle East in the past.

To put it bluntly, it is afraid that other forces will follow suit and fast-forward to a global nuclear bomb baptism.

The same is true in this world.

Once a major force unscrupulously lets its own Tianren Grandmaster take action, other forces will definitely not sit idly by.

In this way, the final result is a fight between the great masters of heaven and man, and even a real fight, which is a fight between ancient immortal weapons.

Everyone is not stupid, and they certainly don't want to see such a result.

Over time, there is such an unwritten agreement between the major forces.

The great masters of heaven and man of the first rank of martial arts are not allowed to fight unless necessary.

In addition to this reason.

Yang An also needs to consider the significance of the crown prince assessment.

The crown prince assessment of each prince is a test of his own ability. If a great master of heaven and man is directly asked to take action, what is the meaning of this crown prince assessment?

So once Yang An lets Li Ruhai take action, his crown prince assessment evaluation will inevitably be very low, which is not conducive to later development.

Of course, Yang An can also take action to break the defense of Baishen City.

But what good is this for Yang An?

If he takes action on everything, what about the Tianhai Corps and Jinwu Guards?

You can't take action on everything in the future, right?

The most important thing is that he is still thinking of using the White Demon Pirates to kill the recruited Haizhou family and martial arts sects.

If he really takes action himself, he will scare away the hidden enemy.

Isn't it useless to be busy for so long?

So no matter what, let the Tianhai Legion go up and consume a wave first, there will be no problem.
