Chapter 144: Battle of National Destiny

In this battle, the Pinghai Navy had 800,000 naval forces, while the Ying Clan had more than 1.5 million naval forces, almost twice the number of the Pinghai Navy.

So even if the battle was not going well, the Ying Clan natives were still prepared to destroy the entire Pinghai Navy with their absolute numerical advantage.

After all, the Pinghai Navy was still trapped in the chaotic reef sea at the moment, which was their advantage.

Facing the madly approaching Ying Clan Navy, Qi Pinghai commanded the 800,000 naval forces in an orderly manner, launching waves of attacks against the Ying Clan official ships.

"Boom boom boom..."

Crossbows rained down on the Ying Clan official ships, smashing them one by one, and they could not resist the powerful crossbow attacks at all.

Fortunately, after several rounds of crossbow bombardment and the loss of nearly 200 official ships, the Ying Clan Navy finally approached the Pinghai Navy's warships and was about to engage in a boarding battle.

"The number of the Pinghai Navy is far less than ours. We will definitely win this time."

"Everyone, fight hard. This time, we must establish our Ying tribe's hegemony in the East China Sea."

"Go out and crush the Ning Dynasty pigs."

...

The Ying tribe natives seemed to see the dawn of victory and cheered one after another. But at this moment, they saw many soldiers of the Pinghai Navy took out black balls and threw them at them.

"Thunderbolt!"

Lu Changjing specially asked Tan's Business to mobilize a batch of low-level thunderbolts, more than a thousand pieces, which were part of the military expenditure.

At this moment, they were just used in this battle to determine the hegemony of the western part of the East China Sea. Before the Ying tribe natives could react to what happened, they were blown up by hundreds of thunderbolts.

"Boom boom boom... boom boom boom..."

In the deafening roar, hundreds of Ying tribe official ships were damaged and even turned into fragments.

The blazing flames swept up and enveloped more Sakura clan ships, causing countless Sakura clan natives to jump off the ship in fear, but what was waiting for them was the corpse-dissolving water in the sea.

"Ah... Help, my body is going to dissolve."

"Corpse-dissolving water, there is more corpse-dissolving water in it."

"It's over, our Sakura clan navy is over."

...

In just a short time, nearly half of the Sakura clan's 1.5 million troops were lost to the Pinghai Navy, and they no longer had the advantage in numbers.

The blazing flames also blocked the Sakura clan ships behind, making it impossible for them to get close.

Taking this opportunity, the soldiers of the Pinghai Navy took out their bows and arrows and shot the Sakura clan natives who were struggling in the flames and seawater.

At the same time, the soldiers in charge of the bed crossbows did not stop, and operated the bed crossbows to attack the remaining Sakura clan ships.

Some masters rushed to the intact Sakura clan ships with the remaining hundreds of thunderbolts.

Facing the proactive attack of the Pinghai navy, the Sakura natives, who had been frightened by the rounds of attacks, had almost no power to fight back and retreated to the back.

Even though General Dehai, who was at the back, killed dozens of Sakura leaders, he still couldn't stop the Sakura navy from escaping. In just half an hour, the Sakura army, which was originally full of vigor, became a dog that lost its home.

"Dance of the fish and dragon!"

In the shocked eyes of the Sakura army, the Pinghai navy, which was originally trapped in the chaotic reef sea, actually turned rapidly. As it turned, layers of sea water surged up, bringing hundreds of Pinghai navy warships out of the chaotic reef sea.

This made those Sakura natives who wanted to take advantage of the Pinghai navy being trapped and take the opportunity to escape panic.

"Run, the Pinghai navy has escaped."

"Is this the Pinghai navy's fish dragon formation? It can actually lift the sea water out of thin air."

"Didn't they say that the Pinghai navy was trapped and couldn't get out at all? What's going on now?"

...

The Ying tribe natives who originally thought they had a chance to escape because the Pinghai navy was trapped were completely panicked.

The remaining morale was gone, and all the Ying tribe official ships began to flee frantically, no longer caring about dealing with the Pinghai navy.

Looking at the embarrassed Ying tribe natives, Qi Pinghai, with a calm face, commanded the army in an orderly manner, beat the drowning dog, and attacked the enemy for three thousand miles, all the way to Qianyu Island, the residence of General Dehai.

At this moment, the Ying tribe's 1.5 million navy and 1,200 ships were almost gone, and the foundation accumulated over thousands of years was almost lost.

This battle that determined the fate of the Ying tribe ended with a great victory for the Pinghai navy.

However, Qi Pinghai knew that although he had won a great victory in the naval battle, it would not be easy to completely defeat the more than 100 million members of the Ying tribe.

These Ying tribe natives have occupied islands for many years and have strong defenses. It is not easy to break through.

However, as long as they can control the most important maritime power, the Ying tribe natives are lambs to be slaughtered. They can launch a large army to besiege at any time and prevent these Ying tribe natives from uniting.

The initiative in the western part of the East China Sea is in the hands of the Pinghai Navy. Qi Pinghai has completed a great cause that no one in the Daning Dynasty has completed for thousands of years.

Even Lu Changjing had never thought of such a great momentum.

So when he received the victory report from the front line, Lu Changjing was also dumbfounded. He did not expect Qi Pinghai and his Pinghai Navy to be so powerful that they completely defeated the Ying tribe’s maritime army in just a few months and mastered the trade rights in the western part of the East China Sea.

Originally, I thought Qi Pinghai would at most take most of the trade rights in the western part of the East China Sea, but I didn’t expect that it was more than most. Almost more than 90% of the trade rights were taken by Qi Pinghai.

With such great achievements, he is fully qualified to be crowned king.

So after only a moment's consideration, Lu Changjing issued generous rewards and gifts to Ping Haijun, and promised Qi Pinghai that the day he completely conquered the Ying tribe natives would be the day he was crowned the King of the Southeast.

Now the Daning Dynasty has four kings, the Northwest King, the Northeast King, the Southwest King, the Heluo King... located in the northwest, northeast, southwest, and central respectively, just missing a Southeast King.

If Qi Pinghai can pacify the Ying tribe natives and conquer the western region of the East China Sea, it would be no problem for him to be crowned king for such a merit.

Soon after receiving the good news, Lu Changjing received another generous gift from Qi Pinghai.

Soul Sensing Divine Liquid!

One of the treasures that assist in attacking the shackles of gods and demons, the old emperor Ning Tianbao has a Soul Sensing Divine Liquid in his hand, which can help the challenger better sense the existence of the three souls and seven spirits when attacking the shackles of gods and demons.

This auxiliary divine object was looted from General Dehai's mansion and was one of General Dehai's most precious treasures. It was originally intended to be presented to the Emperor of the Sakura Clan, but Qi Pinghai had taken over Qianyu Island and General Dehai's mansion first, and took away the Soul Sensing Divine Liquid.

Qi Pinghai then sent this priceless Soul Sensing Divine Liquid over, and this was exactly what Lu Changjing needed.

Lu Changjing himself had never thought that Qi Pinghai, who also needed the Soul Sensing Divine Liquid, would send such a precious treasure to Baiyujing.
