Chapter 602 Blockade of Sky Island
Yizhen Territory launched the Dawn Offensive on October 5, the third year of Tianxuan, and defeated the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet in one battle, but Qu Mao rejected the suggestions of the heroes to recover Sky Island immediately, and reluctantly agreed to everyone, waiting until October On the 10th, counterattack the empty island.
The number of warships left by the current Mughal Empire invasion fleet is less than 100, and most of them are damaged. The 500 troop carriers are well preserved. This is mainly because the navy of the Yizhen territory believes that these troop carriers are Yi Zhen belongs to the navy, so he deliberately didn't do any harm.
As for the 100 dilapidated warships of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet, let them drive away, I am afraid they will not be able to persist until they return to the black port of the Mughal Empire.
After Qu Mao decided to besiege the sky island instead of recovering the sky island immediately, the naval hero immediately removed 300 warships from the cruise fleet while the princess fleet was besieging the sky island, and added two more siege circles around the sky island.
Naval heroes worked tirelessly to arrange the siege of the empty island overnight. At the meeting to count the results of the battle at dawn on October 5, Qu Mao immediately expressed his respect to the naval heroes.
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, if it wasn't for you and Master Kong Ming who were worried about killing too many prisoners of war, the subordinates would be sure to take down Sky Island in one go. Now, in order to capture prisoners of war at a low cost and besiege Sky Island overnight, it is really I can't bear your absurd praise, my lord."
Chafidel said: "My lord, my subordinates agree with Lord Sylvia. We must have more than 500 troop carriers in total. Why don't we send all our army to the empty island in one go? Let's fight!"
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said: "There is no hurry, it is the conclusion of our previous discussion-Sky Island is surrounded but not attacked.
In any case, it has been three days since Sky Island fell, and the warship can clearly see from a distance using a monocular that the landing force of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet has repaired the coastal defense weapons and coastal defense facilities. There is no problem, but at least the loss of more than 30,000 fighters should be paid more.
According to my subordinates, Sky Island only needs to be trapped until the landing troops of the Mughal Empire’s invasion fleet run out of ammunition and food, and they will naturally be captured. This will not only increase the number of our prisoners of war, but also reduce the loss of our soldiers. Why not do it? "
Zhao Pan said: "Master Kongming, we organize the prisoners of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet captured during the daytime battle today, and let them take the lead in consuming the coastal defense supplies repaired by the Mughal Empire invasion fleet, which can also reduce our ease of use." The sacrifice rate of fighters in the town territory."
Qu Mao thought over and over again, scratched his head, and said: "Everyone, please return to the topic of the discussion - today's report on the results of the battle at dawn, the Sky Island Navy is already arranging a siege, so don't mention it again. The time to counterattack Sky Island is initially set on October 10th. , We have to wait for two days to discuss it.
Xuande, we must also maintain continuous contact with the left behind in the different towns of Kongdao, comfort their hearts, and convey our opinions to them. "
Xuande said: "My lord, there are only 150,000 landing fighters from the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet. Our empty island is as stable as gold, and there are three places inside the empty island that have folding space. The food is about a month. For a mature season, let alone stick to it until October 10, even if you stick to it for another five years, there will be no problem."
Qu Mao continued: "Next, our pressure is mainly on the disposal of prisoners of war, and after half a month or a month of peace, we are about to face a more powerful enemy."
Su Yan said: "Master, you and Kong Ming have been mentioning that after this battle is over, our territory of Yi Town will usher in a period of peace for half a month or a month.
Regardless of whether this judgment is ultimately accurate, in the next five days, we will mainly digest the prisoners of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet and the remaining prisoners of war in the previous month's battle, and at the same time accumulate strength to prepare for the subsequent arrival of more powerful enemies. Suber will transport the 200,000 soldiers he is currently recruiting in Liuwang Principality back to the territory to fight, right? "
Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Su Yan, and said: "After the peace period, we will face the invasion of the Chosen player forces and the aboriginal forces, but it is estimated that it will not be so soon.
So we must make full use of this period of time to digest all the achievements from the beginning of the battle in September to the present, including prisoners of war, surrendered troops to formal soldiers or free civilians, deployment of warships, capturing weapons and equipment to train more soldiers, etc.
That's it, Liu Qianhui! "
Liu Qianhui was suddenly called by Qu Mao, startled, and said, "Huh? What are you doing?"
Qu Mao said: "Liu Qianhui, go to Ji Island and other islands, and look at the surviving prisoners captured by the Anti-Yi Town Alliance one by one, to see if you can pick out the heroes inside.
As the first God Chosen player force to invade our Yizhen territory, I think it is impossible to have no heroes, even if they are only ordinary-level aptitudes, recruiting and surrendering can increase the dominance value of our Yizhen territory. "
Liu Qianhui's eyes were round and round, and she said angrily: "Grandma, Qu Mao, you can really think about it, let me see the 280,000 prisoners of war one by one..."
Xuande interrupted: "Lord Liu Qianhui, there are no more than 280,000 prisoners of war in the Anti-Yizhen Alliance, and at best there are less than 80,000 left."
Liu Qianhui pursed her lips and said, "Grandma's, 80,000 is not a lot..."
Qu Mao glared at Liu Qianhui, and Liu Qianhui had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll go! I've been bored in your lord's hut for a long time, so I should go out to relax."
Qu Mao continued: "Zhen Fu, the army and navy will soon **** the prisoners of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet to the centralized detention point. Work harder and strive to surrender them all before October 10th when they counterattacked Sky Island.
If you surrender, you will be given all the weapons you have equipped, and you will be the first to attack the empty island; if you don’t surrender, you will only be issued with long guns to attack the empty island. "
Zhen Fu said: "Yes, my lord! The subordinate will go tomorrow morning!"
Qu Mao said: "Sylvia, I know that the Navy is working hard to salvage sunken warships and repair them. Can we re-install 2,000 warships before the end of the peace period?"
Sylvia Ocean said with a bitter face: "My lord, the military port and naval barracks are currently being upgraded. It may be a bit difficult, but 1,500 ships is still not a big problem."
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "Okay, blockade the sky island first, in fact, my goal for the navy is to deploy 5,000 warships of various types that have been refitted with ship-mounted ballistas.
In addition, build a naval barracks and a military port on Lian Island and Gan Island. Before starting construction, ask Su Yan for a set of building speed-up props.
In addition to this, the army's strength must be expanded to more than 1 million as soon as possible. "
All the heroes present gasped, Qu Mao was a little desperate.
