Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 92: Confrontation Across the Shore
"Vixen!"

The lingering sound lingered in the air. Dugu Feng glared at Xiao Ying, who had been nice to him just now, with resentment, and muttered indignantly, like a cat guarding its food, which was quite adorable despite the loss of its heroic spirit.

Yang Qingxuan, Xie Yingdeng and the other monks did not show any obvious rejection reaction, and most of them seemed to be lost in thought.

Now, Qiling Temple represents Buddhism in supporting and standing on Xiao Ying's side, but unexpectedly has developed a dirty relationship with the Taoist sect. If it can get the support of the Demonic Sect, it can be accepted. It is a good ally!

Of course, the Demon Sect is notorious after all, so we can’t be too deeply bound or accept it casually!

"That's quite straightforward! This feeling..."

Xiao Ying glanced at the resentful Dugu Feng with a half-smile, shook his head and said with a smile: "I admit it!"

The Demon Queen's approach is somewhat similar to that of the Qiling Temple. She first gives favors and kindnesses, but does not rush to ask for them, choosing to take it slowly!

……

"Crash..."

The fleet sailed on, the waves still splashing, like a huge wave washing away the sand, and the march never stopped. It was as if the incident just now had not caused any waves, but was just a small episode in the Sui army's march!

However, the death of Zhi Yuanzi once again set off a huge wave in the already turbulent martial arts world, and even the forces of the world were quite nervous!
Zhi Mingzi was already a well-known figure in the world and a heavyweight giant in the martial arts world. The Seven Sons of Taoism were the representatives, face and leaders of Taoism. Now that they have fallen one after another, it is naturally like adding fuel to a raging fire.

Especially since the conversation between the Demon Queen and King Jingwu wasn't a secret transmission, and many followers heard it, it made people even more excited...

It was obvious that this was a threat from Prince Jingwu. If the Daoist sect or the Tianshi Mansion continued to attack, Prince Jingwu and the Sui army would retaliate. Even if they were not within the Sui army's territory, no matter how far away they were, they would be killed...

This is the troubled times!
The troubled times are coming, the catastrophe is sweeping across, even the Seven Sons of Taoism will be involved, and even the Supreme Heavenly Being will fall!
What was beneficial to Xiao Ying and the Sui army was that their reputation grew, their prestige spread throughout the world, and they frightened all directions, attracting more people to join them.

Even the huge fleet sailing on the wide and roaring canal could not prevent those who were interested from defecting and pledging allegiance.

However, there is no need for Xiao Ying to do it personally, as there are people to receive, test, investigate and register them!

……

The next evening.

The Sui army fleet controlled the sailing speed and finally arrived at the destination after nearly two days and one night of sailing. It was only a hundred miles away from the Shangliang army’s base, which was quite close!

Since the death of Zhiyuanzi and the escape of Tongxuanzi, the Sui army fleet has not encountered any trouble, and there has been no Taoist strongmen seeking revenge or provocation. There have only been a steady stream of people defecting.

The Shangliang Army camped dozens of miles along the banks of the Yangtze River. The barracks stretched out in a continuous line, and a sinister aura permeated the air. However, the barracks were rather simple, and countless men were busy working inside and outside.

Hundreds of ships, like a herd of sea beasts, crowded the vast Tianjiang River. From time to time, more large and small ships rushed to converge...

It is worth mentioning that on the other side of the river from the Shangliang military camp, there is another military camp stretching for several miles. There are also people coming and going, busy working, and it looks like a small military camp relatively speaking.

The military camp on the opposite bank was the first one to be sent over by the Shangliang Army to serve as the vanguard. It consisted of only tens of thousands of people, mostly elite soldiers.

Originally, Long Tianxing and other generals in Shangliang wanted to cross the river to fight, waiting to join forces with the army in the east to attack Jiangdu from both sides, but they did not have enough ships and were still in the process of recruiting!
What they never expected was that the Sui army did not take advantage of the terrain and defend Jiangdu. Instead, they took the initiative to attack, which caught the Shangliang army off guard. They had to work at full speed to strengthen the camp and build a defense line!
At this moment, with the arrival of the Sui army fleet, Liang army commander Long Tianxing, and generals and military advisors such as Chen Guoren, Xu Lingyan, and Li Baiyao were gathered on a simple platform on the bank of Tianjiang River, looking at the mighty fleet from afar.

The simple platform was densely packed with various war machines, over two hundred in total, the majority being crude catapults. Metal crossbows and thunder chariots accounted for only a few dozen. These were hastily constructed by the Liang army after receiving the news, primarily crude catapults, with wooden crossbows serving as secondary components. The remainder were hastily assembled from nearby sources.

There were only dozens of war machines actually accompanying the army, which was one of the differences between the regular army and the rebel army.

"coming……"

Li Baiyao looked at the approaching fleet from afar and spoke in a serious voice.

Most of the people present looked at the approaching fleet nervously, and then looked at the main commanders such as Long Tianxing and Chen Guoren.

Generally speaking, as long as the commander is not a fool and dares to take the initiative to attack, there is a certain degree of victory. In this case, how could the Liang army not be nervous when the Sui army took the initiative to attack from afar?
"Humph! You really dare to come here... to seek death!"

The tall and strong Long Tianxing snorted coldly.

He looked at his own fleet and then at the enemy's fleet. The contrast was obvious, especially the three huge, gorgeous and exquisite world-suppressing warships. He could not help but feel helpless and powerless.

The difference between the enemy's fleet and ours is like the difference between a regular army and a peasant army. There is no way we can fight on water.

The Liang army fleet was temporarily assembled, mainly to transport troops across the river. They were forcibly recruited and drawn from the people. They were basically fishing boats, cargo ships, etc. They didn't even have real warships or battleships. They were no match at all, let alone a fight!
"Ready... Check our equipment and charge. As soon as the enemy ships come into range, attack immediately and strike them head-on!"

At this point, Chen Guoren did not express his feelings or vent his anger like Long Tianxing and Li Baiyao, but instead gave orders calmly.

Xu Lingyan hesitated, then looked at the generals and warned them, "It's said... the eldest lady sneaked into Jiangdu and was captured. If the Sui army takes her hostage... what should our army do?"

The generals were silent and looked at Long Tianxing.

Although Long Tianxing is a fierce general, he is also the commander-in-chief of this battle. Since it concerns the daughter of King Liang and this war, he will naturally make the decision.

"The prince has ordered that the overall situation and the war are the most important, and they should not be affected by any individual." Before Long Tianxing could speak, a young man in an ancient crown and Confucian robe beside him took the initiative to speak.

Everyone suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief. This is a qualified leader!
……

The Sui army fleet, the world-defying warship!
As the fleet approached, the fleet, facilities, and defenses of the Shangliang army gradually came into the sight of the Sui army.

"Your Highness! The enemy is ready to respond. The ships are easy to deal with, but powerful weapons are deployed on both sides of the strait. I'm afraid it's not advisable to approach or land!"

Looking at the enemy's situation from afar, Princess Fengming Yang Qingxuan looked at Xiao Ying and reminded him with a frown.

"The enemy's equipment can deal with ordinary ships, but it can't do anything to the Zhenshi Tianjian, right?" Dugu Feng used his energy to look into the distance for a moment, and said confidently.

Yang Qingxuan shook her head and retorted, "That being said, the shore here is shallow, and it's difficult for the skyship to get close. We can't just rush ashore by force, right?"

"That's true……"

Dugu Feng nodded in response, obediently suggesting, "How about... we gather our best men and raid the enemy's equipment? I don't believe the enemy has more men than us, and the enemy army isn't close to the riverbank, so the impact won't be significant!"

"Not a bad idea... simple! rough! effective!" Yang Qingxuan responded with her eyes lighting up, and then looked at Xiao Ying as if asking for instructions!

Another week of streaking... helpless! I hope my brothers and sisters who like it will support it, help spread the word, and collect it! Recommend it! Monthly ticket! Reward it! Thank you! Thank you!
