Chapter 234: Salt Desecration
A few days later, a large fleet set sail north from Tiefan City along the coastline to Yandu County in Xuzhou.
The ability to organize all the supplies and personnel needed for a large fleet in a matter of days is one of the most efficient of all player forces, thanks to the well-developed logistics and strategic layout division in the territory. The materials and manpower produced in various parts of the territory can be transferred to the port of Tiefan City as quickly as possible, and on the islands in the coastal waters, the fleet can replenish important materials such as fresh water and food in time to ensure the fleet's voyage. If the strategic deployment of Lu Shuang and the corps commander is the right brain planning the overall situation, then the Strategic Layout Department is the left brain of this operation, and in just a few days, all the marching numbers, marching routes and the number of ships have been planned and calculated, plus the efficiency of the work efficiency brought by the god-level civilian officials, and the planned operation is being carried out in an orderly and rapid manner.
Yandu County is located in the middle of the east coast of Guangling County, and like Haixi County, it is a county seat near the sea and a county with a port. The geographical location determines that the shipping of Yandu County is very convenient, especially after the pirates along the coast have been cleared by the Tiefan City Navy recently, their sailing ships have been unimpeded, although they have to pay the "protection fee" to the Tiefan City Navy if they go farther, but in general, the chambers of commerce in Yandu County can still accept the increase in logistics costs, if they encounter pirates, people, goods, and ships will be gone. Because it is a close neighborhood and a waterway, the chambers of commerce in Yandu County have a better affection for Feitian City, and they have a high favorability towards Lu Shuang, and many times the materials that the fleet lacks can be purchased from them on the spot.
The shipbuilding industry in Yandu County is very developed, there are two special docks, but there is no king-class dock, but it is among the best in Guangling County, and some inland counties may not even have special docks. However, after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to deal with the harassment of the Yellow Turban Army and Navy, the two special docks in Yandu County are making every effort to manufacture warships, but although there is a king-level shipbuilder in each of the special docks, there are also special shipbuilders, but the most are junior shipbuilders, resulting in the efficiency of producing high-level warships is not fast.
Unlike Hailing County, although Hailing County is also close to the sea, its center Hailing County is on the other side of the sea, and most of the player forces will choose to be near the county seat, and only Lu Shuang has a decent navy. Yandu County is different, its county seat is close to the sea, that is to say, the center is close to the ocean, Yandu County's developed shipping and shipbuilding industry has also affected the county's player forces, many of the player forces here have a navy, although the good and bad, the overall strength is low, but it is also a force to be reckoned with.
The Yellow Turban Army was so powerful that they occupied many of the territories of the imperial camp, and used their docks to produce small boats such as ships for themselves to launch an attack on the navy of Yandu County. Although most of the docks of the player forces are only beginner or intermediate docks, and can only make small boats such as ships, which is very different from sailboats, but the number and ships of the Yellow Turban Army are large, and even if the Yandu County Navy sends two-masted sailing ships to participate in the battle, it is in danger under the siege of hundreds of ships.
After several days of fierce fighting, the navies of both sides suffered heavy losses, and after considering the power of the county and the player, they decided to retain their naval power, temporarily cede sea dominance, and accumulate strength to plan for the future. And the navy of the Yellow Turbans is not much better, they have to face the navy of the county government and the player forces, and it is already an excellent result to be able to force them to make concessions, at the cost of almost all the warships.
After all, there are many docks of the Yellow Turban Army, and the time required to make these tiny boats is shorter than that of sailing ships, and soon fishing boats or ships under the banner of the Yellow Turban camp appeared on the sea one after another, running rampant and domineering on the sea, and some pirates who have been refreshed by the system slipped away when they saw it from a distance, and they did not dare to provoke them at all.
However, after getting used to the days of walking sideways, the Yellow Turban Army at sea only focused on the dock in the county seat, and as for the sea area in the rear, not many people would care, after all, the pirates did not dare to come to harass them, and Hailing County and Haixi County, which were more likely to have a navy, were far apart, and it was unlikely that they would send a navy over.
Early in the morning, there was a slight white fog on the sea, and the visibility within a mile was good, a distance sufficient for a fishing boat or a ship to react. Players who are accustomed to going to bed early and waking up early in the game generally get up at six or seven o'clock in the morning to work, and some hard-working players drive fishing boats out to sea early in the morning, and they can harvest more food by fishing for an extra hour. After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was a shortage of food, in order to alleviate the problem of food shortage, the players of the Yellow Turban camp began to buy food from scattered players.
In the southern sea, less than thirty miles away from Yandu County, two player brothers, Guizheng, are each driving an intermediate fishing boat to fish on the sea. There was no one around, and a fresh breeze was blowing through, gradually blowing away the morning fog. The two boats are less than ten meters apart, and the two players are also old acquaintances, chatting and slowly fishing, if they were not all tied with yellow scarves on their heads, I am afraid that some people would think that this is a time of peace and prosperity, pastoral life.
The waves around them were getting louder and louder, but they didn't pay attention to them, and the two of them were still chatting loudly, not noticing the approach of the ship behind them.
"Brother, when did you say this battle would end? The county seat has been besieged for more than ten days, and every day it has been harassed or stormed, but no progress has been made. A young player asked.
"I don't know, I heard from some friends of the guild that there are a lot of soldiers in the county, and if they attack it, they may not be able to attack it. And they are working overtime day and night to build ships, believing that it will not be long before another vicious battle breaks out at sea. Actually, it's not bad to get up early every day to go fishing, but after that, I don't play games anymore and go to work as a fisherman. "This player has experienced the last naval battle, and he knows all the fierce battles of that time, and even the survivors don't want to fight another naval battle like this.
"Hey, brother, don't destroy your own prestige and grow the morale of others like this." The young player had never experienced that naval battle, he only knew that the Yellow Turbans finally won the sailing ship with their ships, "Even if they build many more ships, by then the number of ships on our side will also be formed, they couldn't beat us last time, and they will definitely not be able to beat us this time." ”
"Alas, you think too much of the navy of the county government."
"Didn't they just rely on two-masted galleons? If we hadn't lost on the ships, we would have won the last naval battle. And the two-masted galleons of the imperial navy don't seem to be remarkable, even if they are four-masted galleons or building ships, it's not necessary to be surrounded by a few of our ships."
"Huh."
Before the young player could finish speaking, a sound of breaking the air passed through his left ear, and it felt like his eardrum was about to be punctured, and at the same time set off a gust of wind and a wave. Before the young player could react to what was happening, he only subconsciously looked at the position of the player he was chatting with, and there were only a few pieces of the mid-level fishing boat that had just fallen on the sea, and a beach of sea that was gradually dyed red.
Suddenly looking back, the young player's pupils were extremely dilated in fear, and he saw a scene he had never seen in his life: a huge ship was slowly emerging from the faint white mist, and it seemed to be extremely fast, only half of the hull was exposed at first glance, and the next glance was already in front of him, in front of the tall building boat, a fishing boat seemed so small that the head was tilted 90 degrees and could not see the buildings on the deck.
Another crossbow bolt was fired from another ship, and at the last moment of his life, the young player saw countless four-masted galleons sailing out of the white fog. 11
