"Ma Jun!" Looking at Zhao Hao who was leaving, Lao Jiu shouted at Ma Jun again.

"Here!" Ma Jun immediately came out of the column and saluted.

"Distribute the army in a ring, camp hundreds of miles away from the place, only defend and not attack, we will force the enemy to fight with us at sea!" Lao Jiu looked at Ma Jun and said, "This battle is related to the future naval military strength of the empire, so I hope you can understand!" ”

"Obey the Emperor's orders! All for the Empire! Ma Jun said immediately.

"I hope you can do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, and remember, you will always be the pride of the empire!" Lao Jiu looked at him and said, "There are still many opportunities to fight in the future, this time you can only defend passively!" ”

"Of course, for the provocateurs, you are allowed to fight. But you must remember that the battle will be won! Because you are the kings of the land, the elite of the elite! You represent the pride of the Empire! ”

"Yes! Definitely will not disappoint the cultivation of the empire! Ma Jun said loudly.

"Alright, you can go and get ready." Lao Jiu said to Ma Jun.

"Yes!" After saluting, Ma Jun also left with the order.

"Sifeng, during this time, you study these things, these are all on Canglong, and see what practical effect they have." After Ma Jun left with his subordinates, Lao Jiu took out a space bracelet and handed it to Long Sifeng and said.

"What's that? Corpse? Long Sifeng turned out the bracelet and did not investigate, but asked Lao Jiu with a frown.

"Don't worry, it's all handled, it's not as bad as you think." Lao Jiu smiled slightly, and said to Long Sifeng, "There are Canglong's blood, skin, bones, and their demon core!" You use these to study first, and hopefully there will be some good results. ”

"Ninety-level Warcraft materials? These should be good stuff. Hearing Lao Jiu say this, Long Sifeng's eyes immediately lit up and said, "The value of materials above level ninety is above the top gold equipment, and this time it will definitely not disappoint us." ”

"Of course I know this, a lot of the equipment on my body is made of materials from Demonic Beasts above level ninety, and no one knows its value better than me." Lao Jiu rolled his eyes and said.

"I said Xiao Jiu, are you really going to choose naval battles? Haven't you considered the losses that we are likely to face? Seeing the generals leaving one after another, Long Sifeng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Of course I have considered this, and it is precisely because I have considered it that I will choose such an extreme way!" Lao Jiu looked at Long Sifeng and said with a serious face, "We are not like the empire in reality, we have some real maritime military strength, and we can only start from scratch with everything!" ”

"The so-called heroes in troubled times, the general of the dry bone sacrifice! Extraordinary times should be used by extraordinary means. It is simply not possible for us to spend years slowly developing an elite navy. So the only way to do this is to use this radical approach! ”

"While this approach can cause a lot of casualties, it can also cause a lot of economic damage. But this method is the best way for us at the moment. I believe that in this game of death, the ones who can survive will be the real elite! ”

"But wouldn't it be too cruel for us to do that?" Long Sifeng frowned and said with some unbearability.

"You know, it's just a game, NPCs are always NPCs, they have their mission, and the system has doomed their fate!" Lao Jiu looked at Long Sifeng and said seriously.

"What's more, one will be a success! Didn't any elite army go through the baptism of death? The pouring of iron and blood? There should be no sympathy in war, which is also the reason why mercy is not in charge of the army, which was summed up by the ancients a long time ago! ”

"Well, I've got some womanly kindness. So what are you going to do next? Long Sifeng looked at Lao Jiu with some dejection and asked.

"What else can be done? Of course, it is to fight a few battles first and try the enemy's water. Lao Jiu said as a matter of course, but he seemed to remember something, and then said, "You are now facing the empire, send a conscription document, and the content is written like this......

"In response to the needs of the Imperial Navy, NPC sailors are now recruited, limited to level 50 or above, with a monthly military salary of 50 taels of silver tickets, those who are familiar with water nature are preferred, with special water skills, and the treatment is doubled!"

"Our current army of sailors is almost two million people, do we still need to recruit? This is also a great burden on the imperial economy. What's more, this kind of thing, don't you discuss it with Cher? Long Sifeng said with a frown.

"I also hope that I am thinking too much, but the odds are too small." Lao Jiu shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I'll discuss it with Xue'er in a while, I believe she can understand." ”

"What do you think too much? Could it be that we will lose a lot this time? Long Sifeng asked with a frown.

"Maybe, but it's still inconclusive, we'll know until tonight." Lao Jiu said with some concern.

After the two chatted for a while, Long Sifeng went to get busy, and Lao Jiu also went offline to recuperate. He knew that once the war started, there was not much time left for him to rest. However, early the next morning, when Lao Jiu went online, what he was worried about really happened.

That night, Zhao Hao sent two assault fleets to raid the enemy's two patrol squads. As a result, with twice the enemy's strength, after defeating the opponent, his own losses exceeded two-thirds, which made Lao Jiu, who heard the news, look up to the sky and sigh at that time.

He also considered that his army's naval combat capability might be inferior to that of the enemy, but he never expected that the gap between the two sides would be so big. Not to mention twice the number of people, coupled with the sudden attack, he could still lose more than two-thirds of his manpower, which made Lao Jiu speechless.

There was no blame or criticism, but Lao Jiu offered encouragement to Zhao Hao and appreciation for destroying the enemy. But when he heard these things in Zhao Hao's ears, he was directly ashamed. Because he knew very well in his heart that he had lost this raid, and the loss was ugly.

With twice the number of enemy troops, and it was a sneak attack, in the end, more than two-thirds of the casualties were killed, which can be regarded as the worst record in his sailor career, so he will feel ashamed!

After startling the snakes, early the next morning, the enemy began to assemble their fleets and launched an active attack on the sea fleet of the Easy Empire.

The opposing side gathered a total of 300 warships, and almost all of the navies that did not log in were dispatched. After receiving the news, Zhao Hao immediately set up a formation, and thousands of warships immediately faced the local fleet, preparing for a hard-fought battle.

Through the feedback from the patrol fleet, the enemy seems to have determined the naval combat strength of the Easy Fleet, so it is ready to annihilate the Easy Fleet in one fell swoop.

And Zhao Hao was bent on training, so he would face the enemy head-on and prepare to win this unprecedented naval battle with a tough attitude. But when he became the fleets of the two empires, after the real encounter, Zhao Hao realized how wrong he was.

Due to the lack of actual combat experience of the entire fleet and frequent mistakes in coordination, there were many mistakes in the entire battleship group, allowing the enemy to directly divide the entire ship group and then begin to break through one by one.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao reacted in time, directly gave up all battle formation strategies, and used the most scoundrel style of play, all the battleships rushed up, directly used the broadside battle, and started a melee battle with the other party.

Despite this, in close combat at sea, the navy of the Easy Empire still reflects too many deficiencies, whether it is combat experience or technology, it is more than a star and a half behind. In just half an hour, the loss of personnel of the Xiaoyao Empire was close to 100,000.

What's even more puzzling is that the battleships on the periphery were also robbed by the enemy, and some of them were almost escaped. Fortunately, the rear reserve fleet desperately intercepted, which blocked all the enemies. This epic naval battle lasted for a total of three days, and in these three days, the Sailor Legion of the Empire suffered heavy casualties.

Because in just three days, although the Xiaoyao Empire annihilated more than 300,000 enemies, it captured 208 warships. However, its own casualties exceeded 800,000, and 417 warships were sunk.

When the latest news reached Lao Jiu's ears, Lao Jiu was completely silent. Such a huge loss made it difficult for Lao Jiu to accept, which made him begin to doubt his decision for a while, and he had a feeling of wanting to give up.

After the enemy received news of the defeat of the naval fleet, the army on the island began a large-scale offensive. The 600,000 soldiers divided into three routes and began to march towards the interior of the Easy Empire. And Lao Jiu personally sat on the front line and led an army of 300,000 to meet the enemy.

He personally drew a line of death, and anyone who crossed the line would be killed! This time, the soldiers of Lao Jiu's defense are all above level 60, and they are all top-notch gold sets, so that the other party can really see what it is difficult to move an inch.

In the face of twice their own strength, it is difficult for the 600,000 enemy army to cross the thunder pool, and the division of a line of death has become the best proof of the separation between yin and yang. After a few more tentative charges, the enemy decisively gave up the advance.

After leaving behind the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers, the other side began to retreat, temporarily returning to the temporary military camp on the coast. When the repair of the Empire's naval fleet was completed, Lao Jiu began to transfer 500,000 level 500 soldiers from the army who were familiar with water and joined the Sailor Corps.

In order to improve the cohesion of the sailor, Lao Jiu once again increased the treatment of the sailor, and at the same time, the consolation money for the death of the sailor was directly doubled, which basically stabilized the morale of the army. At the same time, let Zhao Hao begin to conduct ideological work and gather the morale of the soldiers.

After more than ten days of repair, Lao Jiu felt that the time was almost up, and then directly led an army of 300,000 and began to force the enemy to camp! Several land battles have made the other party thoroughly understand that the strength of the Imperial Army forced them to choose naval battles.

Perhaps they understood that the Easy Empire wanted to use itself to achieve the purpose of training sailors, but they had no choice. Due to the serious lack of supplies, they could only choose to break through on the sea and start a head-on battle with the Empire Navy.
