After hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Your Majesty, are you saying that they have prepared a total of 120,000 troops to fight against us?
If there are 120,000 troops, it would be very difficult for us to attack them proactively with the few people we have now.
But if we let them transport the food to Cangnan Continent, we will be in great danger.
After all, we only have 300,000 troops over there. If they have enough food, they can mobilize millions of troops together. I'm afraid that even if we have great abilities, we are no match for them."
Zhao Xin said with a smile, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. Although we won't attack them proactively, we do have ways to prevent them from advancing.
You see, if they continue along this waterway, they will soon face many reefs and islands ahead.
There was no way they could pass through that area, so at that time, they would need to turn around and head north.
But if they go north, they have to pass through a narrow sea channel, and this narrow strait is a deadly threat to them."
After hearing this, Mina immediately became very excited: "I understand. What you mean is that if we occupy this strait, then they will not be able to pass through. We can even ambush them here and make all their food belong to us, right?"
As an elf with a huge appetite and who had been starving for a long time, Mina actually knew how important food was.
No matter how good or powerful you are, if you don't have food to eat, you're done.
Take Mina for example. With his martial arts skills, even 200 people are no match for him.
But since he had no food and had been hungry for a month, he didn't dare to take action even against three or five soldiers.
Zhao Xin shook his head: "Such an important place, they must have heavy troops guarding it.
And they might think of what we are thinking, so they might have ambushes in this place to ambush us.
We only have 10,000 men, and if we fall into their trap, we will definitely die, without a doubt."
Mina couldn’t help but be surprised when she heard this: “Oh my God, if you hadn’t told me, I really wouldn’t have realized this.
But now that you put it this way, I suddenly understand.
We really can't go to this place!
But if we don’t go to this place, then where are we going to go?”
Mina looked at the place called Tomorrow Strait with great regret. This place was a natural and perfect ambush site. If this place could not be used at all, no matter who it was, they would feel very sorry.
Zhao Xin said, "Not surprisingly, according to my understanding, the two sides of this strait are not large roads, but two rather strange islands.
The vegetation on these two peculiar islands is very developed.
Especially now it’s autumn, the weather is dry, if we set fire there…”
War is a matter of life and death!
During the war, there are two very vicious strategies. One is setting fire, and the other is cutting off food supply.
Burning people to death and starving people to death are both extremely inhumane things in themselves!
But at the same time, the effect is the best!
After all, throughout history, many wars have been won by setting fires, because water and fire are merciless.
Chen Xin said, "These two places are indeed very suitable for ambushes, but if we want to get close to them, it won't be that easy.
They may have already targeted all the roads leading here, so it won't be easy for us to set fire to those two islands."
Zhao Xin said, "Children should take the normal road, but adults should cross mountains and ridges.
There are many hidden reefs and exposed reefs on both sides of these two islands. These things almost block all the sea areas around these two islands, making it impossible for ordinary ships to enter there.
But we not only have ships, we also have aircraft.
Our ship can't go in, but we can fly over there!"
Tomorrow Strait is the most magical place in the eastern sea area.
The two plates of this strait are not two pieces of land, but two high islands!
The shapes of these two islands are also very peculiar. They are completely different from normal islands. These two islands are very narrow and very high. They look like a three-dimensional cloud-shaped island that was split directly in the middle by a knife.
Both sides of these two islands are full of hidden reefs and exposed reefs. It can be said that it is a restricted area for ships and no ship can enter here.
If you want to reach these two islands, there is only a very small waterway in the north and south directions, and then you can find a port to reach these two islands.
Although these two islands are very large, due to their unique terrain, few people live here.
Therefore, the vegetation in this place is very lush and there is no sign of human activity at all.
It is now the beginning of autumn. On these two islands, the fruits on some fruit trees are ripe. They are bright orange and look very tempting.
No matter who sees it, they will probably want to pick a few and eat them.
But now there are huge troops lying in ambush on these two islands.
Because, according to the research of the state elders and You Tianlong, if Zhao Xin really wanted to ambush their grain transport fleet, then this place would be the best ambush location.
Of course, what they have to do now is to ambush Zhao Xin's army in this place.
Because if Zhao Xin’s army wants to ambush, they have to go to the island no matter what!
Therefore, they ambushed a large number of troops on the two routes that must be passed through the island.
These soldiers were lying in ambush in the grass, sweating profusely in the scorching autumn sun.
Fortunately, their general was not particularly strict, and many soldiers picked a lot of fruits from the nearby fruit trees as snacks.
A normal person would definitely not be able to survive in a place like this.
But the soldiers of the Sky Eye Organization and the Invincible Thieves Group, each of these guys is a ruthless person.
These guys can be said to kill without blinking an eye. Not only are they very cruel to others, but they are also very cruel to themselves.
Under such circumstances, this little bit of distress is nothing to them.
