On June 14, 661 in the electric calendar, Jingchuan attacked Yuqun. 70,000 troops took the Jingxiang fortress as a stronghold and attacked north.

The defense of the jade group was broken through by the southern armored forces in many layers, and the troops were defeated.

On August 3, 661 in the electric calendar, the Taiyun army, which was 'hastily prepared', belatedly arrived and assumed an attack posture in the western part of Jingchuan. This stopped Jing Chuan's violent beating of Yuqun.

Taiyun's rescue was late, but Hanshan and Sesi's mobilization was even later, and even if the mobilization was completed, it was more like a symbolic dispatch.

Such a buckle and rope appearance exposes the gap within the alliance to the eyes of all countries, and the alliance has basically existed in name only.

In the end, under the mediation of Taiyun, Yuqun ceded the land in exchange for Jingchuan to stop the attack.

Since then, the contradictions between the weak and the weak have intensified, and the strong have been more able to profit from the contradictions between the weak.

……

The expansion of sandstorm groups in the oceans has also met with a tough backlash. Relative to land, the spatial scale of the strategy shifts very much due to the ease of transportation on the sea.

From the end of 660, in order to prevent the sea humans from threatening his strategic rear, Zhao Xuanwei went all the way to the south, spanning 3,000 kilometers, and established a series of military bases on many islands in the south.

Each military base is a fortress-like fortress, garrisoned by only a hundred people, with a large number of airboats and drones. These island chains form a supply line.

More than thirty old destroyers purchased by the Sandstorm group regularly patrol between the islands. The troops, on the other hand, drove straight into a huge island of 200,000 square kilometers in the south, successfully pushing the defense to the area near the equator.

[And it was here that the Sandstorm Group encountered a strong counterattack from the military forces of the Sea Humans]

In the northeast corner of the third largest island in the South Seas, rows of barracks are built on the back side of the mountain. Above the mountain, a number of observation posts are deployed here, a large number of unmanned airships maintain air and electromagnetic supremacy over the island, and on the ground, 320 combat groups are deployed on the island.

Zhao now controls one-third of the island's coastline and three-fifths of the land. Sea humans have landed on the southwest side of the island, occupying two-thirds of the coastline.

From the perspective of the strategic map, the territory occupied by Zhao Xuanwei is raised from north to south. It is like a semi-encirclement that penetrates into the interior of the island. It's like playing 'rock-paper-scissors', if the control zone of the sea humans is 'cloth', then the sandstorm control zone is the 'fist' that is wrapped.

In the rear occupied by the sea humans is a scene like this-

Propeller helicopters float in the sky, and these propellers are Da Vinci helicopters, not the multiple blades of modern helicopters, but a single spiral.

This coal-fired internal combustion engine helicopter floats across the island, dragging out iconic black smoke one after another.

Underneath these helicopter gunships are islands with hillsides and rivers, and the interior of the islands is complex, while the area 20 kilometers from the coast is relatively flat. Mechanical fortresses are pinned to the edge of the island like a thumbtack.

These mechanical fortresses are three meters high and 100 meters in diameter, and the metal plates of the outer shells are rusty, and they have a complex system of pipes, some of which are draining, and some of which are emitting steam and white smoke.

At the top of the fortress, large searchlights flashed around, and seven or eight flat electromagnetic emitters with a diameter of one or two meters were installed.

In addition to acting as radar, these iron plates release interfering electromagnetic waves into the sky of the island. Once a non-Turkish drone and guided rocket enter, these flashing lights and jamming radar will interfere with the UAV's detection and destroy the accuracy of the guided missile.

Two or three kilometers away from the fortress, there were defensive trenches that could accommodate heavy mechas, and the walls on the edge of the trenches were reinforced with concrete and sandbags.

These strongholds are extremely strong, and the sea people have absolute material superiority, and are advancing on the northern coastline under the cover of artillery fire at sea and the continuous construction of ground bulldozers.

The tactical focus of the sea humans is simple, which is to completely occupy all coastlines. When all coastlines are occupied and the island's internal and external connections are cut off, they win.

Zhao Xuanxuan, on the other hand, relied on the advantage of inland mobility to attack the southern coastline.

Although the destroyer fleet of the Sandstorm Group is not proportional to the sea humans in terms of tonnage, it is still possible to bypass the main force of the sea human navy and rush to the area to cooperate with the army attack with naval guns.

Although the sea humans wanted to carry out a steady strangulation, in the face of Zhao Xuanxuan's counterattack, after losing many sections of the coastline they had mastered, they had to send heavy mecha to march towards the interior of the island.

The commander of the sea humans knew that the mechs did not have an advantage on the island, but they also had to fight, because if they did not fight, the northern land human assault force would be unimpeded in the island, and then they would be able to attack any section of the coastline stronghold with impunity.

[So the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war on the island]

On August 23, 661 in the middle of the island, in a mountain col.

Due to a heavy rain that had just fallen during the night, many sections of the island were slippery.

A sea human army was marching on the mountain road with difficulty, and the sea human warriors wearing two or three hundred kilograms of power armor directly crossed a road in the dense grass.

When this sea human warband was halfway up the mountain.

Suddenly, a spiral helicopter floating in the sky issued a warning, and the sea human soldiers expertly lay down at the roar of the sea human chief.

And at this time, some humanoid mechs in the team that were a few meters tall and conformed to the golden ratio immediately squatted down and activated optical magic, so that the light near the team was filled with the colors of the grass and trees refracted around them. This Sea Human's colonization technology has worked well in recent combat.

Su Ying (Light Spirit) helped Zhao Xuanwei give this kind of mecha the code name 'Phantom'.

But now it is clear that there have been land and human forces in ambush on this section of the road for a long time. The Phantom Mecha's Light Concealment skill is starting late.

On the hidden position of the sea humans, there was a crisp sound of 'bang'.

Sparks erupted from the steel shell of the Phantom Mecha, and it crashed to the ground. The entire surrounding light invisibility effect disappears.

This result was achieved by fifteen-millimeter sniper shells. Of course, firing also exposes oneself.

The spiral helicopter in the sky apparently spotted the human sniper who had fired the shot, and began to lower its altitude. During the descent, the rumbling noise was louder than that of a tractor, and the rockets attached to the helicopter were ready to be launched, washing the floor where the snipers were.

But war is a set within a set.

Three kilometers away, on another hillside.

The land human special forces also lay in ambush for several hours. Just now, the helicopter was flying at a high altitude, and the land humans really couldn't guarantee the first hit, and now the helicopter lowered its altitude and was ready to hover, slowing down.

Individual missile units, camouflaged with blades of grass, immediately stood up and fired homing rockets at the helicopter. The rocket dragged white smoke, and under the guidance of the channeling spell, corrected the projectile bend caused by the wind deviation.

The homing missile flew to the spiral plane and exploded near four meters of the helicopter, a large number of fragments of a long rod with a length of three centimeters covered the space with a diameter of fifteen meters, the shell of the helicopter cockpit was smashed into a honeycomb, the internal personnel were seriously injured, and the fragments with blood also bounced in the cabin a few times, and the plane instantly lost its balance and began to descend crookedly.

The sound of the propellers flicking in the wind was a prelude to the loss of control of the aircraft.

A few seconds later, there was a 'boom' and the helicopter crashed down the hillside, sputtering a large number of sparks.

When the air armament of the sea humans was annihilated, the battle began to break out violently. Mortars from land and sea humans fired at each other in the complex mountainous terrain, and gravel and trees were blown away, and dust flew in the ravines.

The exchange of fire lasted only fifteen minutes, and the Sandstorm group attacked the troops and quickly withdrew after inflicting heavy damage on the sea people.

[The situation of this battle, in less than ten minutes, was sent to Zhao Xuanxuan]

In the opaque tent, an incandescent lamp was lit in the tent, the temperature inside the tent was forty degrees, and it was very stuffy due to the high humidity.

Zhao Xuanxuan, who was sitting in the tent, took a general look at his own loss report, and then continued to look at the situation on the map. A small victory in an ambush battle could not make the people in the command department optimistic.

Just three hours earlier, on the eastern 17th section of the coastline, the sea people had re-established a fortified base under the cover of naval guns. The section of the coastline controlled by the sea humans advanced forty kilometers to the north.

The offensive plan that Zhao Xuanwei is now sketching on the map is to try to recapture a certain section of the coastline.

At this time, the war between the two sides on the island was in a stalemate. Both sides have supplies at sea, and neither can completely expel the other from the island in the short term.

Just when Zhao Xuanyu bit the tip of the pen.

The staff officer on the side prompted: "My lord, we need a doctor, and a lot of medicine. In the current war of attrition, our army is at a disadvantage. Our people have suffered from dysentery, insect fever, and serious non-combat attrition. ”

Zhao Xuanwei pinched his pen and whispered: "When I arrive at the Great Wall, everything will be reversed." ”

At this time, Zhao Xuanwei already regretted pushing the battle line to the south so long that he couldn't advance or retreat now.

The staff officer seemed to think that Zhao Xuanyu had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation, and continued to add: "I do not deny that the Great Wall is beneficial to the confrontation. The Great Wall joins, and we still have to face them, the mechanical fortress on the coast. We are still inferior in heavy firepower. If you were to smash this island to the death, I expect us to lose more than two hundred battle groups (about three thousand men). ”

The loss of 3,000 men is a quarter of Zhao Xuanxuan's current total military strength, and it is an absolutely unbearable loss of strength. The current consumption of the 20,000 people deployed by the sea humans on this island is one to seven compared to the land humans, but the sea humans can afford to consume it, and Zhao Xuanyu can't afford it.

Zhao Xuanwei waved his hand, signaled to the staff officer that he already knew the seriousness, and then was about to continue to concentrate on the map, when the wooden door opened on the side, and a non-commissioned officer pushed the door in, and reported a bad news to Zhao Xuanxuan in a low voice-

On the Zhening side, the fleet is beginning to control the southbound shipping lanes in the name of 'strictly investigating smuggling'. Although the shipping lanes have not been completely blocked, it is clear that they are taking this opportunity to blackmail and extort money.

Then Zhao Xuanyu heard the news, and the pen in his hand trembled. He stroked his forehead, rubbed the green tendons that appeared unconsciously on his temples, and said after taking a deep breath, "Now, let's focus on the situation in the south first. ”

In this war, Zhao Xuanxuan's biggest mistake was to miscalculate the combat determination of the sea humans.

……

On the sea in the south of the giant island.

A huge warship with a tonnage of 70,000 tons was anchored here. This battleship could not be called a battleship, with three 120-mm "small-caliber" naval guns in front and behind.

The large battleship has three platforms for helicopter take-off and landing, three radar domes.

And the most special thing is that in the middle of the hull, there is a bulge with a radius of seven meters. This bulge, seventeen meters in height, was only slightly lower than the chimney of a battleship.

There is a large cultivation tank in the bulge, and the internal temperature control electronic system, as well as the pipeline system for nutrient transportation, are complex and precise, ensuring the operation of the 150-ton Ziling assembly.

This large cultivation chamber glowing with blue light made the middle of the battleship like the butt of a firefly, shining faintly on the foggy sea.

The effect of such a large-scale spiritual costume is to integrate the functions of the Great Wall and the general's legal lineage.

The hemispheric domain of this battleship is more than five kilometers, please note that it is hemispherical, and the current magic veins of more than five kilometers on land are all bundled magic veins.

Every particle of light emitted by the spirit vein of the general's profession can transmit the information of hundreds of gigabytes to the battleships and mechs within two hundred kilometers within seven seconds to carry out complex combat commands.

This is the top combat platform of sea humans in this era - the domain command ship.

The origins of this armament can be traced back 1,400 years.

At that time, the combination of the fortress profession of the Oka people and the capital ship, in the battle at sea, used accurate artillery bombardment to give tons of damage to the main fleet of the sea people.

The tonnage of the warships that the sea humans sank to the bottom of the sea reached millions of tons, and this huge loss stimulated the sea people's psychics, and they began to make up their minds to study the magic veins of the energy manufacturing field.

After 400 years of hard work, it is also the era of the school system on land.

The sea humans have come up with the Domain Ship. This is a behemoth, and the steel and marine bearings consumed by the battleship are expensive. And the internal biological maintenance device is the largest of the big.

In addition, the child spirits of ships in this domain are often easily damaged, so they also need a high-level psychic to provide repairs for them, and three high-level psychic masters to ensure accurate control.

The difficulty of maintaining a domain ship is not much easier than that of the United States in the early 21st century.

The earliest recorded Realm Fleet was in the Steam Calendar year 1139.

West was in conflict with the Sea Humans while running the Southern Colony. The Domain bombarded several of West's light ships at the time. Of course, a year later, that is, in year 0, three fortress professionals from West were on the coast, one hundred and twenty kilometers apart, with heavy homing missiles and sea human fleets, and a two-hundred-kilogram homing warhead directly hit a field ship from the sky.

Well, since then, the sea humans have been very cautious in using domain ships and do not easily sail to the coast of the mainland. But also learned, to combine the two things of a field ship and a heavy rocket.

Now on the surface of the sea, after a preliminary scan of the airspace above the island, the number of airships and drones on land has been detected.

The field ship was maneuvering on a large scale on the sea, the sea water was separated from the stern of the square ship, and the three spherical radars on the upper deck of the battleship were shining white in the sun.

Pierce your gaze through the inside of the battleship, within the battleship's core armor zone.

In a light blue nutrient pool with a diameter of five meters, a large number of transparent tentacles were attached to the spiritual mechanical warehouse in the shape of a shell, and the inside of each tentacle was flickering - this was the Dharma Lineage Control System. This pool is the child spirit complex in the giant barrel of the docking domain ship.

The mechanical shell opened, and a person with white body and no pores visible, walked down from the shell. The servant who was standing by him put his clothes on him.

Hanhai Jiyue, an eighth-level psychic, is now in charge of maintaining the maintenance of this Fucheng-class realm ship's spirit suit aggregate. Psychics above the seventh order are high-level psychics, and psychics of this level are nobles among the nobles in the sea human society, and the total number of people in the world does not exceed nine hundred.

As one of the four most powerful sea human families on the entire planet, the Hanhai family only has 121 high-level psychics.

Although the Hanhai force has sealed as many as twenty domain warships, it is now difficult to maintain three Fucheng-class domain ships in service because of the difficulty of personnel in place.

It is the same reason that the superpower of the earth in the 21st century cannot increase its production capacity and explode the aircraft carrier several times.

To put it simply, "there is money to make but no money to raise". To put it in detail, too much "workload" of high-level personnel is needed to maintain the work of the relevant military system.

Behind every production, research and development, and military field represents a huge amount of work tasks, and the state in the 21 st century can invest in creating good conditions to attract high-level talents from all walks of life to enter this field and support all the work in it.

But human society is far from reaching the capitalist era. The role of money in human society is very small, it is a highly hierarchical society, and the role of money is not large.

All the talents of the Sea Humans are all nobles, and they fulfill their responsibilities for the privileges of their class.

There are no educational opportunities among the civilian population of the sea, or they receive only a very shallow education. The manufacture of large warships, as well as the production and control of spiritual clothing, are only responsible for five percent of the human population at sea.

If the human society in the sea is now 'opening up' and attracting investment.

When the external land human countries bring tens of billions of funds to smash down, they still can't stimulate production. The level of education of the civilian population of the sea determines the level of its production, and it is useless to stimulate it. Because the productivity of the sea human beings is only in the upper five percent.

Take the current war as an example: why did Zhao Xuanyu push the battle line to the south after winning on Qianao Island, and the sea humans counterattacked? - Because of the cannon fodder among the sea humans, the green-haired ones have to train for more than a year before they can know how to operate weapons, how to listen to orders, and enter the battlefield.

At this time, Zhao Xuanxuan regretted that his battle line was stretched too long and fell into a quagmire, how could it be that the sea humans were quickly beaten to the vicinity of the ruling core by Zhao Xuanxuan, and they were in a hurry.

On the current island, the proportion of sea humans in combat mecha is particularly high, and the nobles have suffered huge losses in the battle. The Sandstorm Group continues to annihilate the sea human nobles, but in fact, it is very painful to fight the sea humans.

[Perspective back to the battleship, in the white standardized cabin]

On the body of Hanhai Jiyue, an eighth-level psychic master, the light paths of small magic veins flickered on the white skin. The spiritual veins on the psychic master and the spiritual veins of the high-ranking professionals of the land human race are of the same level.

Hanhai Jiyue passed by the steel walkway and came to his exclusive room. Sitting in his seat, a robotic arm placed the monitor in front of him.

On the display of the battle uniform windows, Hanhai Jiyue thought about it, and clicked at one of the projections.

In two rows of two-meter-high mechanical windows, the third set of windows on one of them opened, a one-and-a-half-meter-long mechanical compartment popped out, and a set of light blue combat uniforms stretched out from the pylon.

Sea humans rarely recognize land humans, and the battle suit technology is one of these very few.

Hanhai Jiyue is a fanatical controller of the mechanical battle suit, and this preference comes from his father.

In recent decades, his father has even tried to encourage the family to send fleets to raid land, specifically to capture terrestrial human professionals who can make powered suits. However, the land human family that was sure to be able to make advanced power suits was in the inland military fortress, so they abandoned the plan in disappointment.

Hanhai Jiyue put on a power suit and came to a mechanical warehouse with a very strong smell of electric welding in the battleship, which was the engineering workshop of the sea humans.

After the arrival of Hanhai Jiyue, a spirit controller who was controlling the mechanical octopus arm saluted Hanhai Jiyue. This soul controller has the blood of a terrestrial human, and there is also a legacy of a mechanic.

And now in the mechanical compartment, hanging from the front of the power suit mechanical wreckage. During the month-long battle, the Sandstorm Group also suffered a lot of battle damage, and some corpses and mechanical suits remained on the battlefield and were collected by sea humans.

Soul Control: "Your Majesty." ”

Hanhai Jiyue: "Okay, how is the test, I heard that this time the popularity of the land human individual combat uniform is very high, and the performance is advanced, is there anything special about the mechanical muscle?" ”

Psychic: "No, it's the advantage of the control system. The more mechanical muscles, the harder it is to coordinate. And the computing power of these chips is far better than the chips we have obtained before, and they are more flexible and sophisticated in the control of mechanical muscles. Also, in the technology of gyroscopes, there seems to be a unique process. ”

Hanhai Jiyue pondered: "So, this land human force has its own mechanical suit manufacturing technology?!" ”

Soul Control: "Yes, this kind of technology is at the level of an inland superpower. ”

Hanhai Jiyue: "Inland power? Zhejiang? ”

The spirit controller looked down at the battle armor module on the table, and said in a scholar's tone, "It is a country far stronger than Zhejiang and Ning. ”

Hanhai Jiyue made a gesture of listening.

The spirit controller continued: "The Wu family in Zhejiang, the history of mechanics is only six hundred years. And the warframe technology of the land humans originated in the last years of the steam calendar. Those families who were the first to develop mechanical warframes were the most accomplished forces in the field of warframe technology. ”

Hanhai Jiyue walked to the wreckage, touched the tightly knitted joints on the wreckage, and twisted its mechanical muscle fibers that were as fine as silk, and said slowly: "It's very good, but it's a pity that we are the enemy now." ”

……

The strategic line of sight shifted to the north, three thousand kilometers away. On Qianao Island, on the coconut grove port, Rong Jietang boarded the flagship of the Third Fleet, which was preparing to confront the Zhening fleet.

Farther north, at the port of Cuiyu, the 32,000-ton Wide-Area Silence replenished various supplies, and under the escort of seven destroyers, it also began to move south.
