You have to do a complete show, and no one is a fool. Although Stephano Gabbana has decided to use offense instead of defense, if his southern defense line is broken too easily, it will also arouse the opponent's suspicion.

In this way, in the next period of time, Gao Su's southern defenders had basically no intention of letting go.

Fight as you should first, and let the opponent feel the difficulty.

However, in fact, in order to carry out the attack plan, Gao Su mobilized a large number of troops from the southern border defense line. The strength of the garrisoned troops now has been greatly reduced compared with earlier.

In comparison, the maritime fleet that Stefano Gabbana is now responsible for attacking the South China Sea is not as large as the previous main fleet that was completely wiped out, but the advantages of ordinary human civilization are gradually coming into play at this moment.

That is the continuous combat capability and ability to maintain attack intensity as long as there is sufficient ammunition to attack non-stop.

The ability to sustain combat is relatively easy to understand, but as for the ability to maintain the intensity of the attack.

To put it simply, suppose you attack on the first day and launch a thousand cruise missiles. On the second day, the third day, or even a month later, as long as there is no problem with ammunition supply, you can still launch a thousand cruise missiles every day.

Even if there are no cruise missiles, there will not be much difference. The entire offensive intensity has been maintained at this level. This is a major advantage of the mechanized force.

In comparison, whether it is Luo Ji's troops or Gao Su's troops, once a serious fight begins, as the fighting time prolongs and the number of battles increases, the combat effectiveness of the troops will decline. This is almost inevitable.

Gao Su obviously knew this too.

In this way, after more than a month of vigorous fighting with Stefano Gabbana's maritime fleet on the South China Sea battlefield, he found an opportunity and was defeated at the right time.

This round of defeat can be said to be a half-truth, and coupled with the previous foreshadowing, Stefano Gabbana did not notice anything was wrong.

After a wave of formations were broken, Gao Su's southern garrison retreated while maintaining their combat power.

Stephano Gabbana's army pressed forward in one fell swoop.

It has to be said that Gao Su's plan, courage, determination and strength are all indispensable.

Taking into account the attack range of enemy ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, Stephano Gabbana's army is pressing forward, and he will have to hand over more than one or two cities on his southern border.

So if you are not careful, you can easily set yourself on fire.

Gao Su thought very clearly about this.

They often have more than one line of defense on one side of the border.

Under normal circumstances, once the outermost line of defense is broken, the army will directly retreat to the second line of defense. As for the cities between the outer line of defense and the second line of defense, of course, they will basically be given away, and at most they will be a temporary battle.

Retreat and delay the efficiency of the opponent's advance.

However, if nothing else, let’s just say that the upcoming battle in the south will actually have some benefits in allowing Stefano Gabbana to land smoothly.

The most obvious benefit is probably that the opponent will no longer dare to throw mushroom bombs casually.

Because if he wants to continue to attack the interior of the continent, he must build a long supply line. To do this, he needs to capture the city.

Under such circumstances, if he throws a mushroom bomb at a certain city or area, causing that area to be full of nuclear contamination, then there is a high probability that it will be uncomfortable in the next period of time.

It's himself.

From the cities behind Gaosu's southern border defense line, all the population and resources that could be evacuated had already been evacuated. By the time Stephano Gabbana's army launched a landing operation and came up, they had basically been given to them.

An empty city was left behind.

Regarding this situation, Stephano Gabbana, who received the news at that time, was not too surprised.

Normal operation.

For two civilizations that have been at war all year round, the population of some cities behind the border will basically move back, leaving only some necessary staff to maintain operations.

And these staff will also be evacuated before the border is breached.

On the one hand, this is to ensure the safety of one's own people and stabilize people's hearts. On the other hand, to put it bluntly, it is because one does not want to take advantage of one's enemies.

Therefore, players will generally make arrangements in advance if conditions permit.

At this moment, Stephano Gabbana, who had found an empty city, had nothing to be unhappy about.

Even to a certain extent, giving him an empty city as a front-line base would save him the trouble of cleaning it up.

At the same time, for more than a month when Stefano Gabbana's South China Sea Fleet launched an attack and broke through Gaosu's southern defense line, Luo Ji was certainly not idle.

In fact, after he confirmed the entire plan with Gao Su, he had already started taking action.

First, put away the six whale-5 goblin submarines docked in the port.

When technology is backward, the Whale-5 can still be used for ambush tactics, but once it is time to take the initiative, it will be of little use, so it is better to put it away.

It would be better to free up some port space to put the things he wants to take next.

The dull sound was accompanied by a huge wave caused by the falling weight.

Within a short time, five more warships appeared at the port of this Yiren civilization.

Of course, as far as battleships are concerned, this is nothing unusual. Under normal circumstances, with five battleships, Stefano Gabbana on the opposite side can randomly send a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier over and defeat them in a fancy way.

However, what is strange about this is that these five warships are not the most common modern warships nowadays.

Rather, they are five antiques that should be thrown directly into the naval museum for this era! Sail battleships!

Conscience of heaven and earth, this kind of warship should have been eliminated centuries ago.

At this time, General Rodlin, who was standing at the port at the time, was slightly stunned when he saw Luo Ji suddenly taking out five sail warships.

However, General Rodlin reacted quickly. He quickly realized that Luo Ji was not an ordinary civilization, so the sailing battleship he took out was naturally unlikely to be ordinary.

That's right, this is the black-sailed warship of the dark elves that Luo Ji just traded from Ye Qingxuan!

Luo Ji couldn't help feeling a little lucky now. Fortunately, he had listened to Chris Evans's advice and built a few ships just in case.

In this situation where his technological capabilities are being beaten down by the opponent, if he wants to gain an advantage next, basically he can only rely on this surprise to win.

Don’t worry about the small quantity, it’s all money invested!

Integrating the characteristics of his civilization from all over the world, this black-sailed battleship is obviously no longer the black-sailed battleship of the past.

Taking out any one of them would be enough to hang their finance minister several times.
