At this time, a deputy general trotted over and spoke respectfully.
Hearing this, Zhao Jiguang did not say anything.
He simply took out a sea map, glanced at the distribution of the islands on it, and muttered to himself, "If the remnants of the former royal family are ready to fight with all their might this time, it means that at least 50,000 to 60,000 pirates and hundreds of ships will be dispatched."
"There are now 50,000 troops gathered in the Haizhou headquarters, with over 300 ships stationed at various locations, and another 80,000 men ambushed on their retreat route. This way, we should be completely safe."
An army of 130,000 and more than 300 ships.
This is already the vast majority of the Wei navy's strength.
Zhao Jiguang's deployment of these measures could definitely be said to be a desperate gamble.
Because if any losses are suffered, the entire navy will suffer a fatal blow, and then the court will definitely hold those responsible accountable.
Even if he is the son of the Marquis of Shenwu and the brother of the imperial concubine, he will definitely not be able to bear it once the matter is investigated.
But Zhao Jiguang didn't care at all.
The remnants of the former royal family are at sea, recruiting many pirates, and their power is growing, posing a serious threat to the court. Now that they are all mobilized, how can I choose to be timid?
Besides, he knew very well that if he could win this battle, he would be able to completely solve the problem of pirates that had plagued the coastal areas of Wei for hundreds of years.
Zhao Jiguang felt that this deal was worth it, as it could bring decades of peace with just one battle!
"General! General!"
Suddenly, several hurried voices appeared.
Three or five soldiers rushed over and said respectfully, "General, we saw a fire on the sea level. It must be the pirates coming!"
These soldiers were sent out to observe the enemy situation, that is, scouts. Of course, being a scout at sea, especially at night, almost only requires looking for fires in the distance.
And now the news they report is very obvious.
Pirates!
They are the remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty!
Hearing this, Zhao Jiguang's eyes moved.
Then he gave the order again, asking everyone to prepare for battle.
He retreated to the base camp and took charge of everything.
After all, he is the head coach and doesn't need to charge into battle.
Let’s talk about it later.
The navy is now ready. No matter what we do, it will be useless. We can only fight!
Less than two incense sticks of time after Zhao Jiguang returned to the tent, outside the navy camp, on the dark sea surface, huge ships with sails held high were approaching the shore.
These ships were filled with people holding torches in their hands.
There were hundreds of ships and countless torches.
They approached the navy base in this way.
At the same time, as the noise on the ship continued, shrill screams continued to emerge.
This was deliberately sent out by the pirates in order to boost their own morale and scare the enemy!
