On June 14, 661, Jingchuan attacked the Yuqun. Seventy thousand troops attacked north with the Jingxiang Fortress as a stronghold.

The defense of the Yuqun was broken through multiple layers by the southern armored forces, and the troops were defeated like a mountain.

On August 3, 661, the Taiyun army, which was "hurriedly prepared" came late and took an attacking attitude in the western part of Jingchuan. Only then did Jingchuan stop the violent beating of Yuqun.

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

Such a stern look exposed the gaps within the Zong League to the eyes of various countries, and Zong League has basically died in name only.

Finally, with Taiyun's mediation, Yuqun cedes the land and exchanges Jingchuan to stop the attack.

Since then, the conflict between the weak and the weak has become increasingly serious between the Eastern Continent, and the strong can make more profits from the contradiction between the weak.

...

The expansion of the sandstorm group in the ocean has also encountered a tough rebound. Compared with land, due to the convenient transportation on the ocean, the strategic spatial scale is very large.

Starting from the end of 660, in order to prevent sea humans from threatening their strategic rear, Zhao Xuanxi went south, spanning 3,000 kilometers, and established a series of military bases on multiple islands in the south.

Each military base is a fortified fortress, with only one hundred garrisons, a large number of airboats and drones arranged. These island chains form a supply line.

The more than 30 old destroyers purchased by the Sandstorm Group regularly cruised between these islands. The troops drove straight into a huge island of 200,000 square kilometers in the south, and successfully pushed the defense to the area near the equator.

[And it is here that the sandstorm group encountered a powerful counterattack from the sea human military forces]

In the northeast corner of the third largest island in Nanyang, rows of barracks were built on the back of the mountain. Above the mountain, multiple observation posts were deployed here, and a large number of unmanned airships maintained the air-controlled electromagnetic power over the island. At the same time, 320 combat teams were deployed on the island on the ground.

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

From the strategic map, the territory occupied by Zhao Xuanxi raised from north to south, like a half-encirclement infiltrating into the island. It was like playing with a "scissors and stone cloth". If the control area of ​​the sea humans is a "cloth", then the control area of ​​the sandstorm is a "fist" wrapped.

This is the scene behind the sea humans occupy

Propeller helicopters float in the sky. This type of propeller is a Da Vinci helicopter. It is not a multi-leaf blade of a modern helicopter, but a spiral surface.

This kind of internal combustion engine helicopter that burns coal powder floats on the island, dragging out iconic black smoke.

Below these armed helicopters is an island land that integrates hillsides and rivers. The terrain inside the island is complex, and it is relatively flat in the area twenty kilometers along the coast. Each mechanical fortress is nailed to the edge of the island like a thumbtip.

These mechanical fortresses are three meters high and one hundred meters in diameter. The metal plates on the outer shell are rusty and have a complex pipeline system. Some are draining water, while others are steaming and white smoke.

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

In addition to acting as radar, these iron plates release interfering electromagnetic waves to the island sky. Once non-our-own drones and guided rockets enter, these flashes and interfering radars will interfere with drone reconnaissance and destroy the accuracy of guided missile strikes.

Two or three kilometers away from the fortress, there are defensive trenches that can accommodate heavy mechas. The walls on the edges of the trench are reinforced with multiple concrete and sandbags.

These strongholds are extremely strong, and sea humans have absolute material advantages to support them. They are advancing the northern coastline under the cover of sea artillery fire and the continuous construction of ground bulldozers.

The tactical focus of the sea humans is very simple, that is, to completely occupy all coastlines. When all coastlines are occupied and the internal and external connections of the islands are cut off, they win.

Zhao Xuanxi relied on his inland maneuver advantage to attack the southern coastline.

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

Although the sea humans wanted to steadily strangle, facing Zhao Xuanxi's counterattack, after the multiple sections of the coastline they had mastered were lost, they had to send bulky mechas to march into the island.

The commander of the sea humans knew that the mecha did not have an advantage on the island, but he had to fight, because if he didn't fight, the northern land human assault troops would be unobstructed in the island, and then he could attack any section of the coastline stronghold without scrupulously.

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

On August 23, 661, the electrical calendar was in a valley in the middle of the island.

Since it had just rained heavily at night, many sections of the island were slippery.

A sea human legion was marching on the mountain road with difficulty. The sea human warriors wearing two or three hundred kilograms of power armor directly crossed a road among the bushy grass.

When this sea human team marched halfway up the mountain.

Suddenly, the helicopter floating in the sky issued a warning, and the sea human soldiers skillfully lying down amid the roar of the sea human commander.

At this time, some human-type mechas in the team that were several meters tall and met the golden ratio immediately squatted down and activated optical magic, so that the light near the team was filled with the colors of grass and trees reflected from the surroundings. This kind of sea human colonization technology has been effective in recent combat.

The code name Su Ding (Guang Ling) helped Zhao Xuanxi to give this mecha was "Phantom".

But now it is obvious that the land human troops have been ambushing this section of the road. The light hidden skill of the Phantom Mecha has been activated late.

On the hidden positions of humans in the sea, there was a crisp "bang".

Sparks burst out from the steel shell of the Phantom Mecha, and then fell to the ground with a bang. The light invisibility effect around disappeared.

This battle result was obtained by a fifteen-mm caliber sniper bomb. Of course, firing also exposed yourself.

The helicopter in the sky obviously discovered the land-human sniper who was shooting and began to lower the altitude. During the descent, the rumbling noise was greater than that of the tractor. The helicopter's external rocket was ready to be launched to clean the ground where the sniper was located.

But war is like having a condom in the trap.

Three kilometers away, on another hillside.

The Land Human Special Forces also lie in ambush for several hours. Just now the helicopter was flying in high altitude, and the land humans could not guarantee the hit. Now the helicopter has lowered its altitude and is ready to hover, so the speed has slowed down.

The individual missile unit with grass leaves camouflaged immediately stood up and fired guided rockets at the helicopter. The rocket dragged white smoke and corrected the ballistic bending caused by the wind under the guidance of the guided spell.

The guided missile flew to the spiral surface and exploded around four meters. A large number of long pole fragments of three centimeters long covered the space of fifteen meters in diameter. The cabin shell of the helicopter was beaten into a honeycomb. The insiders were seriously injured. The blood-carrying fragments bounced in the cabin a few times. The plane instantly lost its balance and began to fall skew.

The sound of the propeller swaying in the wind is a prelude to the loss of control of the aircraft.

A few seconds later, with a 'boom', the helicopter hit the hillside, splashing a large amount of sparks.

When the aerial armed forces of sea humans were annihilated, the battle began to explode violently. Mortars of land humans and sea humans fired against each other in the complex mountain terrain, gravel and trees were blown away, and dust flew in the ravine.

The fire exchange lasted only fifteen minutes. After the attacking troops of the sandstorm group suffered heavy damage to the sea humans, they quickly evacuated.

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

In the light-impermeable tent, an incandescent lamp is lit up in the tent, and the temperature inside the tent is forty degrees, and due to the high humidity, it is very stuffy.

Zhao Xuanxi, who was sitting in the tent, roughly looked at his own loss report, and then continued to look at the situation on the map. A small victory in an ambush could not make the people in the command center optimistic.

Just three hours ago, on the 17th section of the eastern coastline, the sea humans rebuilt the fortress base under the cover of naval guns. The coastline section controlled by the sea humans advanced forty kilometers northward.

Zhao Xuanxi's current attack plan outlined 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 had sea supplies, and neither could completely expel the other party from the island in a short period of time.

Just as Zhao Xuanxi was biting the pen.

The staff officer on the side reminded: "Sir, we need doctors and a lot of drugs. In the current war of attrition, our army is at a disadvantage. Our people have dysentery, insect fever, and non-combat attrition."

Zhao Xuanxi held his pen and whispered: "When my Great Wall arrives, everything will be reversed."

At this time, Zhao Xuanxi was already a little regretful that he had pushed the front line so long that he could not advance or retreat now.

The staff officer seemed to think that Zhao Xuanxi 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. When the Great Wall joins, we still have to face it. They are on the coast's mechanical fortress. We are still at a disadvantage in heavy firepower. If you want to fight this island to the death, I expect we will lose more than 200 combat teams (about 3,000 people)."

The loss of 3,000 people is one-quarter of Zhao Xuanxi's total military power, and is an absolutely unbearable loss of power. The current consumption of 20,000 people deployed by sea humans on this island is one to seven, but sea humans can afford it, but Zhao Xuanxi cannot afford it.

Zhao Xuanxi waved his hand and signaled to the staff officer that he already knew the seriousness. When he was about to continue to concentrate on looking at the map, the wooden door opened and a non-commissioned officer pushed the door into the door and whispered to Zhao Xuanxi to report a bad news.

In Zhejiang Ning, the fleet is starting to control the southward channel under the name of "strict investigation of smuggling". Although the channel has not been completely blocked, it is obvious that it is taking this opportunity to blackmail.

Then when Zhao Xuanxi heard the news, the pen on his hand shook, stroked his forehead, rubbed the blue veins that were unconsciously coming out of his temples, took a deep breath and said, "Now, let's focus on discussing the situation in the south first."

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

...

On the sea south of the giant island.

A huge warship with a tonnage of 70,000 tons is anchored here. This warship cannot be said to be a battleship, with three "small caliber" naval guns in front and behind.

The large battleship has three helicopters taking off and landing platforms and three radar balls.

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

There is a large culture tank inside the bulge, the internal temperature control electronic system, and the pipeline system for nutrient delivery are complex and accurate, ensuring the operation of the 150 tons of Ziling Combination.

This large training warehouse with blue light made the middle of the battleship look like the butt of a firefly, and there was a faint light on the foggy sea surface.

Such a large spiritual equipment has the effect of integrating the Great Wall and the general's magical functions.

The battleship's hemisphere area ranges more than five kilometers. Please note that it is hemispherical. Currently, the veins over five kilometers on land are bundled veins.

Each light particle emitted by the general's profession of the warship can transmit hundreds of g of information to warships and mechas within 200 kilometers in seven seconds to perform complex combat command.

This is the command ship of the most advanced combat platform field of sea humans in this era.

The origin of this martial arts dates back to 1,400 years ago.

At that time, the combination of the Oka people's fortress profession and the main battleships used precise shelling to deal tons of damage to the main fleet collected by the sea humans in the sea battle.

The tonnage of warships that the sea humans sank to the bottom of the sea reached millions of tons. Such huge losses stimulated the psychics of the sea humans, who began to make up their minds to study the magic line in the field of manufacturing.

After four hundred years of hard work, it is also an era where the school system is being implemented simultaneously on land.

The sea humans created a domain ship. This is a giant. The steel consumed by the warship and the marine bearings are expensive. The internal biological maintenance device is even more of the big ones.

Moreover, the spirits of ships in this field are often easily damaged, so a senior psychic is also required to provide repairs for them, and three advanced spiritual dressers ensure accurate control.

The difficulty of maintaining the field ships of the sea human federal regime is not much easier than that of the United States in the early 21st century to maintain an aircraft carrier battle group.

The earliest document of land humans recorded in the field of fleet was in the Steam Calendar 1139.

West had a conflict with the sea humans while operating the southern colony. The domain ships bombed several of West's light ships at that time. Of course, a year later, in 1140, three fortress professionals from West were on the coast, crossing 120 kilometers, using heavy guided missiles to the sea human fleet. A two hundred kilogram guided warhead directly hit a domain ship from the sky.
