The Yizhen Territory launched a dawn offensive on October 5, the third year of Tianxuan, and defeated the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet in one battle. However, Qu Mao refused the heroes' suggestion to immediately recover the empty island, and reluctantly agreed to wait until October.

On the 10th, they counterattacked the empty island.

The current Mughal Empire's invasion fleet has less than 100 warships left behind, and most of them are damaged. The 500 troop carriers are intact. This is mainly because the navy in the Yizhen territory believes that these troop carriers are

It belongs to the navy of Yizhen Territory, so I deliberately did not harm it.

As for the 100 dilapidated warships of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet, even if they were allowed to sail away, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to last until they could return to the black port of the Mughal Empire.

After Qu Mao decided to siege the empty island instead of immediately retaking it, the naval hero immediately deployed 300 warships from the cruise fleet while the princess fleet besieged the empty island, and added two more siege circles around the outer edge of the empty island.

The naval heroes worked tirelessly and arranged the siege of the empty island overnight. At the meeting to tally the results of the dawn battle on October 5, Qu Mao immediately expressed his respect for the naval heroes.

Sylvia Ocean said: "Sir, if you and Lord Kong Ming were not worried about killing too many prisoners of war, my subordinates would have been sure to capture the empty island in one go. Now in order to capture the prisoners at a low cost and besiege the empty island overnight, it is really

I can’t bear your ridiculous praise, my lord.”

Chafidel said: "Sir, my subordinates agree with Lord Sylvia. Our total number of troop transport ships must be more than 500. It is better to send all our army to the sky island in one go. We will decide in one battle!"

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan and said: "Don't worry, it's still the conclusion we discussed before - the empty island is surrounded but not attacked.

In any case, it has been three days since the fall of the sky island. The warships can clearly see from a distance using monocular telescopes that the Mughal Empire invasion fleet landing force has repaired the coastal defense weapons and coastal defense facilities. Now the victory of the storm is certain

No problem, but it will cost at least 30,000 more soldiers.

According to my subordinates, the empty island only needs to be trapped until the Mughal invasion fleet’s landing force runs out of ammunition and food, and then they can be captured naturally, which will not only increase the number of our prisoners of war, but also reduce the losses of our soldiers, why not do it?”

Zhao Pan said: "Lord Kong Ming, we have organized the prisoners of war captured by the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet during the day's battle. They will take the lead and consume the coastal defense materials repaired by the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet. This can also reduce our vulnerability.

The sacrifice rate of warriors in the town territory.”

Qu Mao thought again and again, scratched his head, and said: "Everyone's discussion, please return to the topic - report on the results of today's dawn battle. The navy of Kongdao has already arranged for a siege. No one is allowed to mention it again. The counterattack on Kongdao is initially scheduled for October 10th."

Today, we need to wait two days to discuss it.

Xuande, we must also maintain continuous contact with Kongdao Yizhen Liushou, comfort their hearts, and convey our opinions to them."

Xuande said: "Sir, there are only 150,000 landing warriors from the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet. Our empty island town is as stable as a rock. There are still three folding spaces left inside the empty island town. The food supply is about a month old.

It will mature for one season, let alone stick to October 10, even if it sticks 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: "Sir, you and Kong Ming have been mentioning that after this battle is over, our Yizhen territory will usher in a period of peace for half a month or a month.

Regardless of whether this judgment is ultimately accurate or not, in the next five days, we will mainly digest the prisoners of war from the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet and the remaining prisoners of war from the previous month's battle. At the same time, we will accumulate strength to prepare for the subsequent arrival of more powerful enemies. My subordinates will ask

Will Subo transport the 200,000 warriors he is currently recruiting in Liuwang Principality back to his territory to fight?"

Qu Mao waved his hand to stop Su Yan and said: "After the peace period, we will face the invasion of the God's Chosen player forces and the aboriginal forces, but it is not expected to be so soon.

After defeating the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet, there will definitely be a period of peace. The question is how long it can last.

Therefore, we must make full use of this period of time to digest all the results from the beginning of the operation in September until now, including prisoners of war, demobilization of soldiers into formal soldiers or free civilians, the commissioning of warships, captured weapons and equipment to train more soldiers, etc.

Like this, Liu Qianhui!"

Liu Qianhui was suddenly called by Qu Mao. She was 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 among them.

As the first Chosen player force to invade our Yizhen territory, I think it is impossible not to have heroes. Even if they are just ordinary-level heroes, if they are recruited and surrendered, they can increase the command value of our Yizhen territory."

Liu Qianhui's eyes were round and round, and she said angrily: "Grandma, Qu Mao, you really can think of it, let me see each of the 280,000 prisoners of war..."

Xuande interrupted: "Sir Liu Qianhui, there are no longer 280,000 prisoners of war in the Anti-Yi Town Alliance. At best, there are less than 80,000 left."

Liu Qianhui pouted and said, "Grandma, 80,000 is not a lot..."

Qu Mao glared at Liu Qianhui, and Liu Qianhui could only say: "Okay, I'll go! I've been bored in your lord's cabin for a long time, so just go out and relax."

Qu Mao continued: "Zhen Fu, the prisoners of war from the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet, the army and navy will soon be escorted to a centralized detention point. You must work harder and try to surrender them all before the counterattack on the empty island on October 10.

Those who surrender will be issued with all equipment and weapons to lead the attack on the empty island; those who do not surrender will only be issued with spears to lead the attack on the empty island."

Zhen Fu said: "Yes, sir! I will go there early tomorrow morning!"

Qu Mao said: "Sylvia, I know that the navy is working hard to salvage the sunken warships and repair them. Can we reinstall 2,000 warships before the end of the peace period?"

Sylvia Ocean said with a grimace: "Sir, the military port and naval barracks are currently being upgraded. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, but 1,500 ships is not a big problem."

Qu Mao thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's block the air island first. In fact, for the Navy, my goal is to install 5,000 warships of various types that have been modified with ship-borne crossbows.

In addition, build a naval barracks and a military port on Liandao and Gandao. Before starting the construction, ask Su Yan to build a set of acceleration props.

In addition, the Army's strength must be expanded to more than 1 million as soon as possible."

All the participating heroes took a breath of air-conditioning. Qu Mao was a little desperate.
