Chapter 596 Fierce Battle
Regarding the emergency response to the fall of Sky Island, the military meeting was held. In fact, the heroes participating in the meeting thought it was unnecessary to hold it, but Qu Mao insisted on holding it.
The heroes at the meeting did not have a particularly big reaction to the fall of Sky Island. Instead, they proposed many specific strategies for the overall military operations of the entire Yizhen territory and the Mughal Empire invasion fleet.
The heroes of Yizhen Territory did not expect that the Mughal Empire invasion fleet, which was harassed by Sylvia Ocean day and night for about 10 days, would launch such a fierce offensive immediately after arriving in Yizhen Territory. In less than half a day, Sky Island fell.
The invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire did not stop attacking the territory of Yizhen because of the urgent response to the military meeting held in the territory of Yizhen. At dawn on October 3, the invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire continued to launch a fierce offensive, simultaneously attacking the island of Yi , Outlying Islands, and Jidao launched an attack.
At around 10:00 in the morning, the Mughal Empire invasion fleet continued to attack the newly discovered Zhongdao, but the Mughal Empire invasion fleet on the four southern islands did not take the liberty to attack, but sent a fleet of about 150 warships, repeatedly Patrol the waters between the four southern islands to monitor and contain the defense forces of these four islands.
The anti-landing operations on Yi Island and outlying islands were particularly tragic. At each landing point, the Mughal Empire invasion fleet and the Yi Town Territorial Army saw each other repeatedly. There were broken limbs everywhere, and the ground was stained red with blood.
The fighters of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet bravely rushed to the coast of Yi Island and Outlying Island. For a while, countless people died on the coast, and the army in Yizhen's territory was still supervising the formation in the rear.
From time to time, shoot and kill the threatening combat units of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet, and of course also shoot and kill the prisoners who are afraid of death.
After the Mughal Empire invasion fleet was beaten back, more fighters would swarm the coast soon. In an hour of fighting, the total number of people killed on both sides could exceed 50,000.
Only Jidao was a little calmer, and of course only slightly calmer, because Zhao Pan directly evacuated Jidao Beigang Village and several surrounding villages, allowing the warships of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet to land at the dock at Jidao Beigang.
When the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet landed about 50,000 people, before completely building a defensive line in Beigang Village, it directly led a 15,000-strong cavalry corps to launch a round of charge. The ten thousand troops were completely defeated.
Even these 50,000 people were completely defeated, so that no one even sailed back from the warships anchored in the North Port of Jidao.
Zhao Pan unceremoniously rushed to the Beigang Wharf and captured the remaining personnel on the warships of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet alive. It took only half an hour to evacuate the supplies stranded on the warships. As for the warships, they were directly taken over by Zhao Pan. into the backpack.
This round of cavalry corps' charge killed at least 30,000 soldiers from the landing force of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet, and more than 15,000 people were injured. Only 4,000-5,000 people survived, and they were directly scared to death. Bold, directly disarmed and surrendered.
Because of the Battle of Jidao Beigang, Zhao Pan captured no more than 80 warships of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet. For the Mughal Empire invasion fleet, the local battlefield losses were heavy, but overall the losses were not large.
In the landing and anti-landing operations on October 3, 3rd year of Tianxuan, the largest number of sacrifices were still prisoners of war and surrendered troops. For no other reason, they were the ones at the forefront.
Although Qu Mao has been staying in Yi Town, the battle status of each island is regularly reported to heroes such as Kongming, Xinping, Xuande, Mengde, Zhongmou, and Suli, and these heroes are now staying with Qu Mao in the lord Inside the cabin.
Hearing the news that the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet had discovered Zhongdao and the four southern islands, Qu Mao became even more entangled.
After Zhongdao was discovered, the Mughal Empire invasion fleet launched an attack directly, but Qu Mao was not worried, because although Sylvia Ocean was in Yidao, the warships of the main naval force were mainly in the Zhongdao sea fortress Rest at home, if the attack is really too fierce, Sylvia Ocean certainly doesn't mind defeating some warships of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet in some sea areas.
Although the invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire has not yet launched an attack on the four southern islands, 150 warships are patrolling back and forth, and the prisoners of war and army soldiers deployed on the four southern islands dare not be transferred away at will.
Sylvia Ocean once directly sent Qu Mao a long-distance communication, intending to lead the main force to sink the 150 warships attacking Zhongdao and the 150 warships patrolling the four southern islands, but Qu Mao let Sier Via Ocean continued to rest and expand her naval strength in preparation for the Battle of Dawn on October 5th, and Sylvia Ocean did not make any troubles.
Fortunately, seeing that the Mughal Empire invasion fleet was fighting fiercely with the territory of Yizhen, the rest of the forces that invaded the territory of Yizhen did not continue to harass the territory of Yizhen. It seemed that they were worried that the war between the Mughal Empire invasion fleet and the territory of Yizhen would be affected generally.
Princess Fleet and Cruise Fleet also got a rare respite.
A group of heroes surrounded Qu Mao to deliver the battle report, which also made Qu Mao palpitate. After one and a half days of fighting, Yi Town territory invested 300,000 prisoners of war and 200,000 army soldiers have killed more than half of them, although the main casualties were prisoners of war.
After the fight yesterday, more than 150,000 prisoners of war in Yi Island, Outlying Island, and Ji Island died. A total of 30,000 remaining prisoners of war were given the status of free citizens in the territory of Yi Town that night. Those who did not want to stay in the army were given land and houses for placement Well, at least 10,000 people who are willing to stay in the army go directly to the nearest barracks for advancement.
In fact, Qu Mao is also willing to do it. The 30,000 surviving prisoners of war are basically excellent-level qualifications, a few are excellent-level qualifications, and the worst are excellent-level qualifications. They can be regarded as high-quality residents.
Hearing this news, there are still more than 400,000 naval soldiers and prisoners of war who are being detained in a centralized manner. They seem to be eagerly looking forward to going to the battlefield. It was passed to the ears of these prisoners of war who were concentrated in custody.
In the **** fight, the night of October 3rd in the third year of Tianxuan was approaching, and the attack of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet finally slowed down again.
Qu Mao asked Zhen Fu to go to the detention center for naval soldiers and prisoners of war, and continued to report on the arrangements for the surviving prisoners of war today, so as to give some hope to these prisoners of war who had been imprisoned for nearly a month.
