Chapter 660 Situation and Choice
South Bank, the shipbuilding base.

At this time, the base can only be regarded as a ruin with lingering smoke. Apart from the dark ashes, there is basically no decent pillar or complete rubble to be seen.

It can even be said that the damage was even cleaner than last year's flood.

Ukawa Taishi was patrolling inside with several military advisors, his face darker than the plaster on the ground.

Report!
The rapid sound of hooves sounded.

A bloody messenger rushed over.

"General, urgent order from General Kudo."

Taking advantage of the time when the bodyguard was conducting a drug test, Ukawa Daishi glanced up and down at the horse a few times before reaching out to take the letter.

After reading the content inside, his face turned darker.

The military advisor next to him stood up decisively.

"Damn it. This military order should have been delivered three days ago. Now that you have a mount, why did you delay it until now?"

"Back to the general, there were more than ten people who set off to the south bank with the young one. However, they were repeatedly pursued by Xingluo on the way. The young one also took many detours, and then reluctantly sent the general's order to the general."

"As for the other brothers..."

He lowered his head and didn't say any more.

The military advisor was speechless for a while and looked at the general with a stern expression.

Ukawa Daishi came over and patted his shoulder comfortingly, and then straightened Xiaobing's stained clothes.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. The hardships you are enduring now and your selfless efforts and sacrifices are all for a better future for the empire and the nation. His Majesty the Emperor and the people of Yamato will never forget your achievements."

"Thank you, General." The messenger burst into tears of gratitude.

Ugawa Taishi nodded.

"Come here, take this brother to have something to eat. Then go back and report to General Jiutang, saying that I have received the order and will execute it immediately."

"Yes!" The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left.

"General," the military advisors came over and frowned as they looked at the military order.

"General Kudo, what do you mean?"

Not only were they asked to immediately give up fighting the fire, but instead led the fleet to protect the three food islands.

They were even asked to bypass Li Hebai, Lu Ping'an, and Wan Shilei to join Ishikawa Taki in the Sishan Islands, and then attack Jinlongtan.

It's okay to protect three food islands.

This was originally the responsibility of their navy.

The sea is vast, and it is not difficult to bypass Li Hebai and other three fleets.

But Ishikawa Taki is currently attacking Dinghai Wharf in Huayang County, so he is asked to turn around and attack Jinlongtan. What's going on?

Furthermore, it may not be possible to attack it.

"General, this order..." A military advisor looked around and couldn't help lowering his voice, "It's just nonsense."

If it hadn't been for the handsome seal of Naoto Kudo stamped on it, he would have thought it was forged by someone from the Starfall Legion or Wu Siyuan.

Ukawa Daishi sighed inwardly.

Kudo Naoto is not talking nonsense, this is just a matter of seeking medical attention due to a sudden illness.

It seems that the surrounding situation is worrying.

"General," another military advisor hesitated, "The first level of the official rank will crush people to death. This military order... do we really want to implement it?"

Ukawa Taishi remained silent, just looked up to the northeast where Kudo Naoto was, and then looked back toward the sea.

The sea was calm at this time, but from time to time you could still see blazing rockets streaking across the sky.

That was Wan Shilei's Rock Fleet fighting with his defense fleet.

As for Li Hebai and Lu Ping'an, one of them was assigned to hold down Wan Shilei's formation, while the other was attacking the three food islands.

Ugh.

Ukawa Daishi sighed secretly again.

Even three people with hairless mouths dare to bully them. His fleet has been so weakened that there is no need to talk about attacking Jinlongtan...

"Everyone listened to the order and immediately rebuilt the shipbuilding base. At the same time, set up defenses on the outside to guard against Xingluo's continued attack."

There was silence all around, and everyone looked at each other.

Ukawa Daishi's face darkened: "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Yes!" The ordering soldiers finally realized and agreed one after another. "General," a military advisor came over, "the shipbuilding base is the foundation of the navy. Without it, we can't even repair the ships, let alone expand the fleet and transport the local people out. Therefore, this place must be repaired. , and the sooner the better.”

At this point, he changed the subject.

"But what about General Kudo's orders? For example, to protect the three food islands."

As for the meeting with Ishikawa Taki and then attacking Jinlongtan, the military advisor was still clear in his mind, so he didn't mention it.

Ukawa Daishi looked at him deeply for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"General Jiutang is the general of the Western Expedition, so I will naturally abide by his orders. Come and order all fleets in the periphery to immediately bypass the Rock Fleet and go to..."

is saying.

clap clap.

Three brilliant fireworks suddenly exploded in the northwest sky.

Ukawa Daishi's words suddenly stopped.

His face was stern: "Who sent the cloud-piercing arrow, and how far away is it from us? Quickly calculate!"

After a while, someone had already figured it out.

"Back to General, it's our Cloud-Piercing Arrow, heading northwest, about fifty to sixty miles away. It is inferred that it should be General Matsushita in the direction of Tazigou."

"Yang Matsushita?" Ukawa Taishi pondered, "He has a total of 3 people. What could be so urgent that he would fire three cloud-piercing arrows?"

"General," a military advisor reminded, "these days, the Starfall Legion has invested a lot of troops and has been fighting with us here. It seems that they will not stop until they burn down this shipbuilding base."

"Now the base has been burned down..."

Humph.

Ukawa Taishi was very unhappy.

Xingluo invested a large number of troops to burn down the shipyard, and also sent a large number of troops to intercept the firemen who killed Kudo Naoto.

But his navy was also not idle, and kept sending people ashore to try to put out the fire.

Both sides were fighting inextricably in the fire, and both suffered heavy casualties.

Despite this, the shipbuilding base in front of them was still not saved.

For Ukawa Taishi, it can be said to be a huge failure.

The little military advisor reacted and coughed twice quickly to avoid the problem of the shipbuilding base.

He looked up at the fireworks dissipating in the sky.

"General, the cloud-piercing arrow in front of you may be that General Panasonic encountered their main force."

Ukawa Taishi understood clearly, "Here, go over immediately to find out the situation."

"Yes."

More than thirty scouts were dispatched one after another, rushing towards the location where the Cloud-Piercing Arrow was launched in different directions.

At dawn, a scout finally came back with great joy.

"General, great news."

"General Matsushita discovered the traces of King Yun Chuining. There are only more than [-] people on the other side, hiding not far from us."

After saying that, he flew Matsushita Yang's letter by courier.

Everyone, including Ukawa Taishi, had stayed up all night and was now exhausted.

However, as soon as the scout said this, they all became energetic and gathered around him.

Ukawa Taishi saw ten lines at a glance, and was happy and annoyed at the same time.

"Prince Ning, Prince Ning, you are so bold. You dare to hide nearby with such a small number of people."

"General," a military advisor echoed, "This is called darkness under the lamp, or the most dangerous place is the safest. No one thought that he would dare to stay near us."

"That's right." Others scolded Ren Ning for being cunning.

The military advisor didn't answer and continued talking.

"General, Prince Ning has been staying nearby. In addition to his great trust in the capabilities of the Starfall Legion, he also seems to be very aware of the importance of our shipbuilding base. It is estimated that as soon as we start rebuilding, he will be the first It’s time to send someone over to do some damage.”

"Damn it." Ukawa Daishi jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Come here, order the five fleets closest to the shore to disembark collectively. We will wait until we capture Prince Ning first."
