"How's the war going?" On the Canglong main ship, Lao Jiu personally commanded in the southern sea area of the Seven Immortals Islands, and in the conference room of the main ship, Lao Jiu looked at the screens in front of him and asked.

Although it is an antique war, the player's methods are always strange. Now all the pictures in front of Lao Jiu are played live by players using the video screen function, which gives the whole war a bit of a modern feeling.

However, this can only provide a little help to the intelligence side, and the impact on the whole war is not very large. Looking at a lot of lost pictures, Lao Jiu knew very well in his heart that it represented the lost islands.

"The attack of the Tricontinent Alliance Army was very fierce, and in just one day, we lost seventeen small islands. The player can't resist the crazy attack of the regular army at all, and there are only five islands on the front line: Tiger Shark, **, Shimen, Jianzui, and **. Shi Lei said in a very solemn tone.

"And the small islands around these five islands have almost been lost. And the enemy seems to be intending to abandon these five small islands for the time being and go directly north. When the five islands are completely isolated, a full-scale encirclement may be launched. ”

"And our Shaking Light, Tianji, Tianxuan, and Tianshu Island can only be passively defended at the moment, and have no ability to counterattack. It can be said that the situation is quite unfavorable for us, and if the other side does not count the losses, in three days, we are likely to lose half of the islands in the South China Sea. ”

"Has the number of warships and the number of troops dispatched by the enemy army been investigated?" Lao Jiu asked with a frown.

"This time, the other side dispatched a total of more than 5,000 warships, with a strength of about 6 million. If we continue to be passive like this, it is very likely that the islands in the South China Sea will not be able to be saved. Shi Lei said with some concern.

"With such a fierce attack as soon as the war starts, it seems that they have eaten us." Lao Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "The other party's purpose is actually very simple, that is, to test the true reality of the Seven Immortals Islands. ”

"Order the second-line Qin crossbowmen, wait until the enemy crosses the first line of defense, shoot all the crossbow arrows in my hand, and then send the Canglong Water Division to retreat." Lao Jiu looked at the various pictures in front of him and said coldly.

"Since they want to test the reality of the Seven Immortals Islands, then, we might as well lure the enemy deeper. The herald ordered all the divisions to take the defense first, and be sure to hold out for three days. With such a huge consumption, I want to see how long the Tricontinental Alliance can last. ”

In just the second day, the alliance army crossed the first line of defense of the islands in the South China Sea, and had bypassed the five small islands of Tiger Shark, **, Shimen, Jianzui, and **, and began to penetrate deep into the islands of the Southern Regions.

Just when the alliance army was about to pull out the five islands in one go, they encountered a crazy counterattack from the five islands. The Qin crossbow of the Easy Empire has finally officially appeared, although there are only 50,000 defenders on each island, but the million crossbow arrows they are equipped with are real big killers.

Originally, in the plan of the alliance army, it would take three days to take half of the islands in the southern region, but these five small islands are like five nails, firmly nailed to the periphery of the southern sea area, and if these five islands are not taken, the plan of the alliance fleet cannot be implemented.

And this is also the reason why Lao Jiu asked the five generals to guard the island in person. In order to take the five islands, the alliance army launched a frantic attack on the five small islands on the third day. Since large ships could not get close to the islands, the coalition forces had to force their landings.

However, in the face of the overwhelming Qin crossbow attack, the alliance army suffered heavy losses. In one day, more than 200,000 soldiers died in the alliance fleet under Qin's crossbow, which made the alliance officers who commanded the battle jump to their feet with anger.

The attack of a million-strong army could not take five small islands in one day, and the top of the alliance changed commanders on the same day. The new commander was none other than the deputy commander of the North American fleet, Chester William Halsey.

In the face of Qin's indiscriminate attack, Halsey directly gave up the plan to attack, but continued to go deeper, preparing to completely isolate the five small islands, mainly to cut off their logistical supplies, and wanted to surrender without a fight.

In Halsey's view, the Runaway Army that has left the five islands is a lamb to the slaughter. Therefore, he temporarily gave up seizing the five small islands, and instead sent troops to press in, wanting to seize all the small islands in the South China Sea in one go.

However, on the way to Halsey's large-scale attack, he was blocked by the army of the Easy Empire and the player. Lao Jiuda opened a warehouse, provided players with Qin crossbows and crossbow arrows, and relied on long-range attacks to block the enemy's advance.

With the current equipment manufacturing technology of the Xiaoyao Empire, the lethality of the Qin crossbow has approached the top purple gold equipment, and the equipment that the alliance army can prevent the killing of the Qin crossbow is limited, so this has brought a great obstacle to the attack of the alliance army.

The war that was expected to be ten days was delayed by the army of the Easy Empire and the players for nearly a month. In the end, after the alliance fleet lost nearly a million soldiers, it took most of the small islands in the South China Sea.

And in a month's time, the real casualties of the Xiaoyao Empire were not heavy, but the consumption of crossbow arrows was as high as more than five million, which made Lao Jiu really distressed. You must know that these more than 5 million crossbow arrows are equivalent to tens of millions of gold coins.

Now the small islands in the entire South China Sea, only the six islands that Lao Jiu began to give death orders to the past are still in the hands of the Easy Empire. After the Empire was driven back to the South Sea, the Alliance forces finally launched a major invasion.

Under the escort of the alliance troops, countless small boats, carrying all kinds of supplies and personnel, began to enter the southern sea, heading towards various small islands. In the eyes of the Alliance Army, the only six small islands left today no longer pose any threat to the Alliance Army.

According to their analysis, the materials stored on each island are at most enough for the army on the island to use for a month, and now it is close to a month, as long as they besiege but do not attack, the six islands that are short of food and grass will naturally be broken without attacking.

At this time, the alliance fleet seemed to have seen victory in sight, and was ready for everything, wanting to establish its own sea base in the southern waters of the Seven Immortals Islands. But how could Lao Jiu really give up the entire South China Sea to the Alliance Fleet?

Just after the alliance army entered the southern region island group in a big way, their fleet also began to move north along Shaoguang and Tianji Island, hoping to use the advantage of the fleet to isolate the southern islands of the entire Seven Immortals Islands from the main islands, forming a defensive front composed of ships.

In just three days, the Southern Regions Island Group has almost become the world of the alliance army, and the main force of the entire alliance fleet has begun to approach the southern islands, and even the more than 500 fleets besieging Tianshu Island have begun to retreat in an all-round way, wanting to move to the southern waters of the Seven Immortals Islands.

At this time, nearly half of the main armies of the alliance had entered the island group in the Southern Regions. In the eyes of the alliance fleet, the current Empire seems to have lost the power to resist, and when they gain a firm foothold, it will only be a matter of time before they seize the entire Seven Immortals Islands.

As everyone knows, for the Empire, the real war has just begun. Just as the alliance army transported a large number of personnel and materials into the southern region island group and the fleet besieging Tianshu Island withdrew, the Xiaoyao Empire finally launched a counterattack.

In the early morning of the same day, the Tiger Shark Naval Division attacked Tianshu Island to evacuate the fleet, and the Jiaolong Naval Division attacked the alliance fleet at night and temporarily based on the sea. The Canglong Naval Division made an all-out attack and blocked all warship lanes in the South China Sea.

At the same time, the Xiaoyao army, which was dominated by the five islands of Tiger Shark, **, Shimen, Jianzui and **, also launched a full-scale counteroffensive, and with the support of the 300,000 troops airlifted by Lao Jiu, they controlled all the islands on the edge of the South China Sea overnight.

And the control of Guye Island also opened a back door for the island group in the South China Sea, and the reinforcements from the two main islands of Tianquan and Yuheng directly entered the island group in the South China Sea. The reinforcements of Kaiyang and Shaoguang Islands also began to attack the northwest of the island group in the South China Sea.

The alliance fleet, which got the news, pressed in as soon as possible, and 2,000 warships sailed directly to the island group in the South Sea Sea to support the trapped army in the island group in the South Sea Sea. It's a pity that Lao Jiu finally completed the lure of the enemy to go deeper, how could he give the other party a chance?

When thousands of local warships approached the small islands in the South China Sea, the Easy Empire also showed another killer feature, the giant catapult! This is also a type of Atlantis technology, although it lacks a matching throwing weapon, but the throwing distance and accuracy of the catapult are several times that of ordinary catapults.

And the weapons thrown by the Easy Empire, although they are not lethal, are the nemesis of all ships. Because of this trait, the giant catapult is specially designed to throw fireballs. And the fireball in it can be regarded as the characteristics of the Easy Empire.

Because the so-called fireball, in fact, is to fill the processed oil jar, each 100 catties, sealed with a tarpaulin, when throwing, only need to ignite the sealed tarpaulin, it is very convenient to use.

This fire attack is almost fatal for the current wooden battleship. The coalition fleet, without knowing the situation, began a rash attack, which almost brought a devastating blow to itself.

When they first approached the island group in the South Sea, nearly 100 search warships were ignited, which forced the alliance fleet to temporarily retreat, and then use the speed of small ships to force the landing on various small islands.

However, the Qin crossbow of the Easy Empire once again dealt a fatal blow to the alliance army, even if many fish slipped through the net and rushed to various small islands, they were quickly killed by the defenders on the islands. After a night of hard work, the Alliance forces had to admit that they had been forcibly divided into two parts by the Easy Empire.

Just when the alliance fleet was still trying to find a way to converge with the armies in the island group in the South China Sea, the 500 fleet retreating from Tianshu Island was attacked by the same number of fleets.

In an unguarded situation, a single round of firebombs from the Easy Empire cost the Alliance fleet more than half. Before the personnel of these fleets began to move, the fleets of the Easy Empire were slaughtered with all their might, and a tragic battle directly kicked off on the sea.
