Near noon on October 2, the third year of Tianxuan, the Mughal Empire invasion fleet from afar did not rest at all and directly launched a landing attack on the Yizhen territory.

And the battle immediately became intense as soon as it broke out. In one afternoon, fierce landing operations broke out on Yi Island, Outlying Island, Kongdao and Jidao.

The Mughal Empire was worthy of being the strongest aboriginal force fighting for hegemony in the mainland. It only lasted until around 5 p.m. before it directly landed on the sky island with the weakest defensive measures in the Yizhen territory, and completed the occupation of the entire sky island before dark.

The siege of the empty island and alien town.

Ignoring the opposition of Xuande and other heroes, Qu Mao took advantage of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet's night-time strike and summoned the heroes of the Yizhen territory to return to the lord's cabin of Yizhen to hold an emergency military meeting.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the core heroes arranged the security within their respective defense areas and the next day's combat deployment, and gathered together in the hut of the Lord of Yizhen.

Sylvia Ocean, who had just rested for a whole day, was also called over by Qu Mao. Although the living room on the first floor of Lord Yizhen's hut seemed crowded with all the heroes gathered together, in fact not all the army heroes came.

Jidao, as well as Zhongdao, Green Island, Hakdao, Qiandao and Liandao where no fighting broke out in the south, still need to be guarded by army heroes.

Qu Mao asked Xinping to quickly report the half-day battle situation to all the participating heroes.

Sylvia Ocean said directly: "Sir, if we allow the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet to land and fight, our prisoners of war and army will suffer heavy casualties.

The troops under my command have rested and adjusted for a whole day and can rejoin the battle tonight. We should attack the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet at night."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "The navy will definitely attack the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet at night, but it will definitely not be tonight.

Now that the Yizhen Territory has entered a life-and-death situation, I won't say too many polite words to you. We can survive this crisis. Facing the non-stop invasion of aboriginal forces, it may take half a month to a month.

The lull period is enough for us to digest the results of the September battle.

If we can’t survive, then our Yizhen territory will have no future.”

Zhao Pan of the Army was still fighting on Ji Island and did not come back for the meeting. Chafidel was deployed near the fishermen village of Yi Island and came back in a hurry. However, it was Sir Mrak who spoke on behalf of the Army.

Sir Mrak said: "Sir, I feel that the situation is not as bad as you think. Although our sky island has fallen, the island town is still firmly in our hands. The Mughal Empire's invasion fleet wants to take it.

It's impossible to do it in a different town on Xiakong Island without ten days and a half month.

And we have to invest at least 100,000 soldiers to do it, and what we left in the empty island town are only three remaining folding spaces, 50,000 residents, 10,000 level 0 militiamen, 3,000 level 1 warriors, and 2,000 level 2 soldiers.

Just a level warrior.

The invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire destroyed a large number of warships and soldiers and stormed the empty island. Even if it landed on the empty island, it only got a place to stay. It was almost the same as an empty island, and it would have to face our soldiers and civilians in different towns on the empty island at any time.

harassment."

Qu Mao thought for a while and said: "This is the truth, but the war must still be fought, and there is no room for luck.

Xuande, after receiving the news from Sylvia Ocean last night, did you really not send a third-level warrior or a third-level warrior or above to the sky island? In the future, the sky island will be recovered, and even the inside and outside will be coordinated.

Can't do it."

Xuande laughed awkwardly and said: "Sir, this matter... Although no regular troops have been arranged to go over, Kongdao Yi Town is still a safe place after all, so my subordinates sent the troops to the same place on the afternoon of September 2 last night.

Some of the high-ranking soldiers who were injured during the landing operations of the Liuoh Principality were sent up.

Including 27 level 3 swordsmen, 72 level 3 princess guards, 45 level 3 marksmen, 54 level 3 crossbow shooters, 14 level 4 light cavalry, 4 level 5 heavy cavalry, and 3 level 5 primary water magicians.

There are 2 fifth-level junior earth magicians, 1 fifth-level junior air magician, etc., a total of more than 300 third-level warriors and warriors above third-level.

These soldiers have been recovering since they were injured in the last battle. They only went to the Sky Island to recuperate. If they really go to the battlefield, they can exert 80% to 90% of their combat power..."

Qu Mao rolled his eyes crazily, knowing that Kongdao would fall, he actually arranged for more than 300 wounded senior soldiers who were about to recover to go to the island. How confident Xuande must be in winning this battle.

Sir Mrak said: "My lord, you need not worry.

No hero or warrior in the Yizhen Territory will take this lightly, so of course you don’t need to say more about this, my subordinates are all very clear about it.”

Qu Mao said: "Zhongdao and the four southern islands are expected to be discovered tonight or tomorrow. For us, the battle will be even more fierce. I heard that the battle this afternoon has already exhausted the prisoners of war, and there were even some

Some prisoners of war want to mutiny before the battle, so how should we deal with it?

My lords, you must use all your strength, otherwise other islands will fall quickly."

Sir Mrak said: "Sir, in this afternoon's battle, we can only drive the prisoners of war into the front line to fight. Our own army soldiers are supervising the formation in the rear. Therefore, although this afternoon's battle is tragic, it only helps our Yizhen territory.

The number of prisoners of war has been reduced, but the foundation of our army in Yizhen Territory has not been used.

What's more, our military camps on various islands are recruiting new soldiers to expand our strength. Although the prisoners of war are exhausted, they at least bought us half a day."

Qu Mao asked: "The prisoners of war have been consumed in one afternoon. How long will it take before the soldiers recruited and trained by our islands can be put into battle?"

Sir Mrak said: "Sir, new soldiers are recruited into the battlefield every day. These soldiers are recruited from the surrendered soldiers who were persuaded by Lord Zhenfu to surrender and became free citizens. They are really going to be put into our own population.

The army operation will probably take another week to two weeks."

Sylvia Ocean thought over and over again and said sincerely: "Sir, the main force of the navy has really rested.

We can definitely launch a night attack on the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet tonight, and my subordinates can issue a military order before going into battle.

My subordinates can guarantee that even if the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet lands on an empty island, it will only land on an empty island, and all soldiers who land on an empty island will stay on the empty island forever.

I am fully confident that I will launch a night attack tonight and sink all the warships anchored in the waters around Kongdao. Your Excellency, there is no need to be so desperate."

Chaifedel also said: "Sir, from the beginning of the battle, the Yizhen Territory has always faced enemies stronger than us.

"My subordinates believe that your Excellency does not need to worry. As long as we fight steadily, we have a high probability of directly defeating the enemy. Your Excellency, you can fully consider Lord Sylvia's suggestion."

Qu Mao said: "There is a very big difference between winning directly and easily, and defeating the enemy at a high cost.

I don't want the Yizhen territory to suffer too much damage. After all, in addition to the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet, we still have countless enemies.

Everyone needs to make further efforts and be cautious to reduce the risk of the enemy destroying the development of our Yizhen territory. If necessary, we may even need to notify Sunan to recall the newly trained army soldiers from Prince Liu..."

Su Yan said: "Sir, my subordinates will contact Sub Bo immediately after the meeting. Regardless of how many soldiers he has recruited and trained, he will transport as many as he can bring back."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Okay, Su Nan will be contacted by Su Yan; Sir Mrak will recruit and train army soldiers in Yizhen's territory as soon as possible and go into battle as soon as possible.

Chai Fidel and Zhao Pan must also arrange their troops well. Kongdao will follow your instructions and will not carry out reinforcements and immediately recover Kongdao. However, they cannot chill the hearts of the soldiers and civilians stationed on Kongdao. Xuande is responsible for contacting Kongdao.

Sylvia Ocean, your mission is to continue to let the navy maintain the attack on other invading forces and rest and adjust the main battle force, and to increase the naval power of our Yizhen territory as much as possible.

We must do the night attack you mentioned. My tentative plan is before dawn on October 5th, but it will be adjusted according to the situation of our defense. But I don’t want our navy’s 500-600 warships to fight against the Mughals.

The remaining 2,000 or so warships of the Empire's invasion fleet are fighting to death."

Xuande said: "Sir, my subordinates contacted Kongdao last night and asked them to persist until the end of the war without reinforcements.

The side of Kongdao believes that there is no problem and guarantees that as long as the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet on Kongdao has less than 50,000 troops, they will take the initiative to go out of the city to fight."

Qu Mao said: "In this case, let the defenders of the empty island hold on for three to five days. After we have laid the foundation for victory on other islands, we can regain the empty island in one fell swoop."

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said slowly: "Sir, the prisoners of war who did not die in battle today should immediately fulfill their rewards and promises.

If the navy plans to attack at night before dawn on October 5, then when preparing the navy's strength for the decisive battle, Lord Sylvia can also consider using the navy prisoners of war and driving them to participate in the battle against the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet.

The battle this afternoon will consume no less than 200,000 prisoners of war, and the remaining prisoners of war are mainly naval prisoners of war."

Sylvia Ocean said: "What Lord Kong Ming said is true, and my subordinates also have this consideration.

In the battle in September, the navy captured thousands of warships. If all the shipboard personnel were prisoners of war, we would not need to wait for the warships to be modified with ship-borne ballistae, and just force them to the front line to engage in support battles, even if the enemy could not be destroyed.

, at least it can tire out the enemy."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "It is estimated that a full-scale war will break out tomorrow. We must severely damage the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet on one or two battlefields to prevent them from fighting as wildly as now.

Sylvia and Zhao Pan can decide on their own whether prisoners of war go to the battlefield.

Everyone, it’s up to you!”
