Chapter 593 The Mughal Empire Fleet Arrives
In the early morning of October 2nd in the third year of Tianxuan, Su Yan dragged her tired body and told Qu Mao that the 200,000 self-owned residents in October had all been recruited and settled properly.
Just when Qu Mao comforted Su Yan and was about to let Su Yan go back to her room to rest early, the magic communication crystal in Qu Mao's pocket vibrated.
Take it out and take a look, Qu Mao said to Su Yan: "It's a long-distance communication from Sylvia."
When Su Yan heard this, she didn't go back to her room to rest, but leaned against the door of Qu Mao's bedroom, listening to Qu Mao's call.
Qu Mao connected to the magic communication crystal and asked directly: "Sylvia, is there any urgent military situation?"
Sylvia Ocean's weary voice came: "My lord, tonight's harassment can only end early, the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet has already prepared in advance, and the subordinates have not achieved much results.
Now it is only 30 kilometers away from Yi Island, and the subordinates decided that the main naval force will return directly to the army, and the cruise fleet will dispatch a small number of warships to monitor the Mughal Empire invasion fleet.
The subordinates predict that the Mughal Empire invasion fleet will arrive around Yi Island tomorrow morning. "
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, but what was supposed to come would still come. To be delayed by Sylvia Ocean's main navy team for another three or four days was already an unexpected joy.
Seeing that Qu Mao didn't speak, Sylvia Ocean continued: "My lord, when my subordinates launched tonight's night attack before dark, the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet was still about 50 kilometers away from Yi Island, but I didn't expect It has only been six or seven hours since it was dark and the invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire has advanced more than 20 kilometers, which was impossible before.
The main force of the navy has been on an expedition for 10 days, the strategic materials are almost exhausted, and the physical strength of the soldiers has reached the limit, so the subordinates must return to the army.
Currently, the state of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet is not much better. The subordinates have already reported the military situation to Mr. Zhao Pan, and the army can't wait to fight. "
Qu Mao asked: "How many warships from the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet can reach the surrounding area of Yi Island?"
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, the fleets of the Mughal Empire from Black Harbor and Viking Harbor have been merged into one. After our harassment all the way, it is estimated that about 2,000 warships will enter the territory of Yi Town. , the total strength is between 1.8 million and 2 million.
Only the last 30 kilometers or so are left. If they continue to advance at night, they may appear around Yidao early tomorrow morning.
However, even if they were prepared in advance, we have already been fooled tonight. The subordinates estimate that they will not choose to continue to advance in the second half of the night, so the exact time to arrive around Yidao should be around 10 am. "
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "Sylvia, you and the main navy team have worked hard all the way, let's lead the main navy team back to the military port.
Leave the rest to us and take the soldiers to have a good rest. "
After hanging up the remote communication with Sylvia Ocean, Qu Mao said to Su Yan who was still leaning against the door frame: "Su Yan, I may not have any sleep tonight.
Since Liu Wang Dukedom invaded the territory of Yizhen, the most dangerous enemy we have faced has finally appeared, and our territory of Yizhen will usher in the most difficult and dangerous battle. "
Su Yan nodded and said: "My lord, the soldiers are here to cover the water and the earth. Our Yizhen territory has never been afraid of any enemies. There are still more than 2,000 warships left, which also means that the total force of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet is still more than 1.5 million. .
Subordinates will once again confirm the deployment of the prisoners of war and the army with the army heroes one by one, please rest assured. "
Qu Mao nodded, but did not continue to say anything.
Su Yan had just left the door of Qu Mao's bedroom on the third floor of the lord's cabin. Qu Mao sent Xuande a remote communication application.
Xuande immediately said: "My lord, Yi Island and Outlying Island should be the first to bear the brunt. Of course, the empty island is also very dangerous. Now the army definitely doesn't want to send more troops to the empty island.
That being the case, the subordinates believe that the residents of Sky Island should be notified to prepare for evacuation to a different town on Sky Island. Of course, the Mughal Empire invasion fleet cannot be allowed to land on Sky Island without damage. In the end, even if the enemy landed, the soldiers and civilians on the empty island should stick to the different town of the empty island.
Forget it, my lord, I can’t explain clearly, the subordinates can arrange the sky island by themselves. "
Qu Mao said: "Okay, you can arrange things on Sky Island yourself. I guess before the battle ends, the other eight islands may not be able to rescue and recover Sky Island. Sky Island has to rely on itself."
Xuande said: "It's okay, my lord, we have discussed this before. The soldiers and civilians of Sky Island can defend the town of Sky Island by themselves, and at the same time they can contain tens of thousands of troops from the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet."
Qu Mao said: "Okay, you can make arrangements.
I'll contact Kong Ming and let Kong Ming get ready too. "
That night Qu Mao continued to make remote communication arrangements with Kong Ming, Xinping, Zhen Fu, Liu Qianhui and others one by one. On the contrary, it was the Army side. Because Su Yan ran away in person, Qu Mao had no contact.
The Great War is about to break out, and it doesn’t make any sense to convene heroes for a response meeting now. It can only be deployed according to previous guesses.
Fortunately, Sylvia Ocean postponed the arrival of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet from September 28 to October 2. The prisoners of war on each island have been dispatched and deployed, and there are almost 300,000 troops in total. Prisoners of war are thrown into battle.
There are currently more than 300,000 naval prisoners of war under centralized detention. The number of prisoners of war who have been drawn into the Navy Princess Fleet and Cruise Fleet may have exceeded 500,000.
Dawn finally arrived on October 2nd in the third year of Tianxuan. The Mughal Empire invasion fleet did not choose to sail in the middle of the night, so it could not reach the surrounding area of Yi Island at dawn.
However, at around 9:30 in the morning, the forward scouting warship of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet could already be observed in the outpost on the northern cliff of Yi Island. Of course, the territory of Yi Town naturally gave priority to deploying monoculars for the outpost on the northern cliff of Yi Island. .
Obviously, the war will break out between 10:00 and 11:00, and messenger soldiers come to feed back the information to Qu Mao.
Qu Mao seemed worried, and a bitter battle was about to break out. If the Mughal Empire invasion fleet could be quickly defeated, perhaps the Yizhen territory could still have a certain period of respite; but if it was defeated, then the Yizhen territory would be completely over.
