Five large floating islands form a hollow plum blossom-shaped formation on the sea surface, sailing slowly, and several fleets cruising outside, sweeping wild monsters on the surrounding sea surface, or salvaging treasure chests on the sea surface. Above the main masts of these warships, the Han flag with a black-bottomed red dragon was fluttering in the wind.

This is the core of Zhou Tai's Eastward Detachment. On the periphery of this core support force, there is also a large fleet operating. Zhou Tai's purpose is to seek to annihilate the enemy's vital forces at sea. At the same time, this floating island fleet will go to the sea on the west side of the Han territory on the Antegray continent and become the maritime protection force of the Han territory.

"Governor, our third detachment encountered an enemy fleet of four thousand, and was retreating to the north."

"Good, order them to lead the enemy away, order the first and second fleets to turn, and siege this fleet!"

"promise!"

"The reconnaissance team pays close attention to the surroundings of the enemy fleet. In addition, they send a small team to search for the sea two hundred miles to see if the enemy has a logistics fleet or floating island to follow."

In actual tactics, Zhou Tai and the navy of God of War Hammer are the same. Once they discover the other side's fleet, they have to find ways to eat it and then look for possible logistical support later.

When Zhou Tai set out, there were only three floating islands, and the other two were stolen from the enemy's hands. Zhou Tai himself was also raided by a large-scale enemy fleet. However, at the critical moment, Zhou Tai used the Fountain of Mist to reverse the situation. Then the main fleet he rushed back took the opportunity to wipe out the fleet with a size of more than 5,000, and picked up a floating island.

This time we encountered thousands of enemy troops. Obviously, there were enemy legions moving around. Although the range at sea was astonishing, when Zhou Tai's route was exposed one after another, the Hammer of War should have been able to roughly judge Zhou Tai's movements, so it is not surprising to search and encircle in front.

Zhou Tai also had to detour on a large scale and avoid the opponent's siege, and use his mobility to find opportunities to annihilate the enemy. This also led to Zhou Tai's delay in reaching the predetermined sea area and providing protection for the Han territory.

After the end of the Battle of Milun, the Han territories faced greater pressure on the sea surface and coastal areas. However, Zhou Tai's actions had greatly reduced the pressure on the Han territories. Zhou Tai's existence forced the navy of the God of War Hammer to distribute most of its energy to search and attack the maritime power of the Han army.

"Governor General, discover the enemy's support fleet. It is a scale of one thousand, two floating islands!"

"Report the position, our team accelerates, and the floating island follows! Order the reconnaissance fleet to retreat north."

"promise!"

When Zhou Tai's reconnaissance fleet discovered the Sixth Fleet's own team of the God of War Hammer, the outer reconnaissance ships of the Sixth Fleet also discovered the Han army's ships. Then the Han army took the initiative to attack a small number of enemy reconnaissance ships, and then sent Pegasus to close to the reconnaissance and then evacuated northward.

"Damn it, it's running so fast."

"General, Fu Island's speed has dragged its back. It's better to let the fleet chase after it first and Fu Island follows!"

"This is not possible! Although the enemy retreated northward, which was in line with the target position discovered by the main fleet before, it was difficult to guarantee that the enemy did this on purpose to paralyze us. We ordered the fleet and floating island to maintain speed to advance northward and at the same time to the west. In particular, the northwest would send reconnaissance troops."

"yes!"

A few hours later, both sides could only budget the other's position based on guesses, so they were not sure where the other party was. The reconnaissance ship of the Sixth Fleet of the Antagray Fleet of the God of War did not find any signs of enemy activity on the west and northwest sides.

Not long ago, news of the main fleet being attacked by the Han army had already been heard, but the battlefield was only more than a day away. Therefore, the commander of the Sixth Fleet believed that what he had encountered before was probably the battlefield patrol fleet sent by the other party in advance, rather than the reconnaissance fleet of the enemy headquarters. As for the enemy's team, it was likely to be on the west or northwest of the battlefield.

So, the headquarters of the Sixth Fleet accelerated toward the battlefield.

Zhou Tai's main fleet was in a battle with the main force of the Sixth Fleet. The two sides had similar numbers and their combat capabilities were slightly superior to the Han army. The Han army fully utilized its advantage in mobility and constantly used the excellent cooperation of several fleets to attack the enemy in turn on the periphery.

The commander of the Sixth Fleet did not dare to divide the troops, because previous battle examples showed that the division of troops would be likely to be defeated by the opponent's concentrated superior forces. The opponent has an advantage in the control of the fleet, and therefore, he can often show higher speed and efficiency in combat.

Therefore, the goal of the Sixth Fleet is to firmly bite the main force of the Han army and then call on other squadrons to come and siege. There is no need to rely on its own strength to defeat the enemy in front of you.

The Han army seemed to understand this, so they kept on the periphery and actively attacked in turn, trying to find the flaws of the Sixth Fleet in the mobile warfare, and then broke up the Sixth Fleet and divided it into pieces and annihilated it. Unfortunately, the commander of the Sixth Fleet was a very calm veteran, and he always maintained his formation well and was very patient in tangling with the Han army.

"Order the main fleet to retreat southwest."

"Governor, the battle has just begun, and our army is dominant, why do we suddenly retreat?"

"It has been several hours since my order was passed to the battlefield. At this time, the enemy's reinforcements must be coming from the north and south. If they don't leave, they will be surrounded by the other party!"

"Oh, what about our army?"

"If I guess correctly, the enemy's support team, which is fighting the main force of our army, should be within a voyage of less than half a day in the northeast direction. If our army's main force moves south, the enemy will also change its course. We are now turning to the eastward north, and it is estimated that it will encounter it in four or five hours. It was dark at that time, which would facilitate our army's raid!"

"I understand, the governor is very good at calculating!"

"Haha, it was calculated by the General Staff. It has nothing to do with me. Okay, go and pass the order!"

"promise!"

The Sixth Fleet's headquarters is closer than Zhou Tai estimated because their speed was too slow, because the commander's personality was too careful and the speed of cleaning up wild monsters was much slower.

Therefore, when the scout ships of both sides contacted each other, it was not dark yet.

"The fleet sails northwest, with full sails at full speed!" Zhou Tai no longer hesitated at this time and rushed towards the enemy at full speed.

"What about the Han army's fleet? What about the scale?"

"Between two thousand and three thousand!"

"How is it possible? How can it appear in the southeast direction of ours. This is impossible unless the Han army has two large fleets of movement!"

"But, General, this is the truth. What should I do now? Should I fight?"

"Fight? Let's go forward to the island, break out of the enemy's formation, and then attack on both sides!"

"yes!"

"Order all the flying troops on the floating island to participate in the war. Give a free attack order!"

"yes!"

"Governor, the enemy is using floating island as a vanguard and is fighting against our army! Are you going to attack the enemy from both sides?"

"No. They want us to do this, and they want to use the flying troops on the floating island to restrain our army, then attack from both sides, order the fleet to bypass the floating island from the west, and then pull away to the west and lure the opponent's flying troops!"

"promise!"

Sure enough, when Zhou Tai's fleet made a detour to the west, a large number of flying troops rushed towards Zhou Tai's fleet. At the same time, the enemy's fleet rushed out from behind the floating island, hoping to attack Zhou Tai's fleet.

Zhou Tai was prepared for a long time. When the enemy's flying troops took off, Zhou Tai's fleet turned slightly to the west. As the flying troops approached, Zhou Tai's troops accelerated their turn. While luring the enemy's flying troops out of the command distance, they organized heavy crossbows and giant crossbows on the ship to attack the air.

When the enemy's fleet approached, the flying troops in the sky were almost wiped out. Zhou Tai's fleet immediately turned around and turned around to fight with the enemy's fleet.

By midnight, the Sixth Fleet's headquarters frigate was completely destroyed. Zhou Tai lost about 400 warships, but more than 600 warships were captured. While letting the fleet salvage soldiers who fell into the water, Zhou Tai himself led the team to attack Fu Island. Because the enemy lost the flying troops, Zhou Tai's battle was relatively simple. When Fu Island, which had been behind for most of the day, caught up with him, the two floating islands of the Sixth Fleet of War God's Hammer had fallen into Zhou Tai's hands.

Zhou Tai then changed his course and headed west to meet with his main force.

After the Sixth Fleet lost contact with the team, they immediately realized something was wrong and turned around and retreated north. Zhou Tai's fleet pursued for a long time, destroyed the Sixth Fleet about five or six hundred warships, turned around and headed south, met with Zhou Tai and marched southeast, preparing to face the enemy's fifth Fleet.

"After the Han Navy ended this battle, the fleet suffered a certain loss and should retreat westward, distance and repair it."

"Are you sure the Sixth Fleet's battle report is not full? The two battles destroyed more than 3,000 enemy warships? Is this number really credible?"

"this"

"According to the main combat report of the Sixth Fleet, they have been fighting with the enemy, and the enemy takes the initiative to attack, losing more than 1,000 yuan. Why would the enemy lose equally? It should be even smaller! There is also the battle at the headquarters, so it is unlikely to destroy thousands of enemy warships."

"This is just your speculation. General, according to the analysis of the war report, is completely different. So the general is more willing to believe his speculation?"

"Damn it! I don't know! But if the Han army has not lost its strength, it is likely to come to ambush our army! If the enemy suddenly appears in front of our main force, I will not be surprised at all!"

"This probably won't be true!"

"Report! The enemy reconnaissance ship was discovered in the northwest in reverse!"

"Northwest, where is the distance?"

"Thirty nautical miles! Here is the location!"

"Sorry, my guess is confirmed, the enemy is rushing towards us, fighting or retreating?"

"General, we cannot retreat. If we lose these four floating islands and a large number of marines, we may not be able to explain to the above. Therefore, even if we know it is a failure, we must fight!"

"Okay! Let the damn reinforcements come and meet immediately. All our fleets abandon the floating island and retreat at full speed to the east!"

"General!"

"Don't you understand luring the enemy into the deeper!" (To be continued...)
