On February 25, an expeditionary fleet of 100 ships of the Zhoushui Alliance departed from Zhoushui and entered the Jihe River, and after two days of sailing, arrived at the mouth of the sea, Tanggukou, hundreds of miles away. The 6 thousand bronze cavalry units that escorted the flotilla from the ship, also arrived at the same time.

There are already some simple ferries built by fishermen and players on the coast, which are just right for these large ships to moor.

The advance force has ascertained the security, geography and hydrology of the surrounding area, and the follow-up force can carry out its work quickly. Five thousand infantry soldiers and five thousand peasants got off the boat, carrying a large amount of supplies, and walked to the center of Tanggukou and began to build 6 bases.

The entire Tanggukou military base plan should be completed in several stages.

First of all, in the shortest possible time, a strong medium-sized city that can accommodate 30,000 or 40,000 people was built, which was used to hoard grain, wood, and stones, as well as for NPC farmers and soldiers to live in, to ensure the safety of personnel, and a large number of wooden arrow towers were arranged around the walled city. In the event of an attack, there are also simple fortifications to rely on.

Tens of thousands of NPCs used bronze axes as tools to build such a wooden village, and it only took about one day to complete the construction. Most of the wood they carried was also consumed. A small part remained, and a few crossings were built in deep water.

The second step is to build a stone city wall and build a stone city. However, this requires a lot of stone and time, and it cannot be done all at once.

The hundreds of ships of the expeditionary fleet unloaded all the supplies, hoarded them in the wooden village, and returned to the sea again. A thousand-strong bronze cavalry and a part of the infantry returned to the Zhoushui Walled City with the ship. Prepare to transport the next batch of manpower and materials for the construction of the stone city. It is expected that several batches of manpower and materials will be transported in total to be sufficient for the construction of the base.

Nearly 10,000 players and NPCs stayed in place and continued to work to build various buildings and facilities in the city. In addition, a small group of people were sent to build watchtowers several miles away, so that if a large force of foreign troops approached, they could give early warning and make preparations.

Only by building a solid military base on 6 can we build a naval base on a large scale.

He is now responsible for the specific command of the implementation of this plan. It is the new deputy chairman of the security department of the Zhoushui Alliance. After completing his mission to defeat the Bohai Shipyard, Cheng Wang handed over the military command of the Alliance Security Department. Qianli Buliuxing sent two Xing Sima of the Qianli Legion. The sky and Dapeng spread their wings and came to this Tanggukou base. They are responsible for the construction of the 6th Army Base and the Navy Base.

What made the entire Zhoushui Alliance nervous was that the five giants of Jicheng also sent an expeditionary fleet of more than seventy ships to try to establish a supply base in the area of the sea mouth, wanting to compete with the Zhoushui Alliance, so as not to be completely controlled by the Zhoushui Alliance.

Although the five giants of Zhoushui Alliance and Jicheng all claim to be building a supply base at the mouth of the sea to facilitate long-distance trade of the fleet. But everyone understands that it is undoubtedly a military base.

This is no small matter. If both sides are heavily armed at the narrow entrance to the sea. At any time, an unexpected event may lead to a military conflict.

Then it will directly detonate the conflict between Jicheng and Zhoushui.

Fortunately, at present, both sides are relatively restrained and have not engaged in direct hostile acts.

The fleet of the Big Five of Jicheng. It was a full three days later than the Zhoushui Alliance before it came out.

By the time they arrived at the mouth of the Jihe River, the most core and most important area of Tanggukou, which was within a range of tens of miles, had been occupied by the Zhoushui Alliance...... At intervals of nearly 1 mile along the riverbank, simple wooden watchtowers were built - this is called demarcation of land, and the territory of one's territory is clearly marked. If anyone touches it, it is equivalent to violating the territory of the Zhoushui Alliance.

Of course, the fleet of the five giants of Jicheng knows what the sentry towers that can be seen everywhere mean, a sentry tower is only a few units of wood, and it is not valuable, but if it is smashed, then it will lead to armed conflict at any time.

The fleet of Jicheng did not dare to knock down the weak watchtowers, and the soldiers on their seventy-five ships were only 5,000, and the peasants were not more than 10,000.

Tengke is the second fleet of the Zhoushui Alliance, and it has arrived at Tanggukou again. This time, the fleet was even larger, with a full 150 ships, and nearly 20,000 NPCs were delivered, as well as a large amount of food and stones. Together with the manpower delivered in the first batch, the total manpower is three times that of the Jicheng fleet.

The transportation capacity of the Wenzhou Water Alliance's fleet is more than twice that of the five giants of Jicheng, and it is still increasing rapidly. If there is a fight here in Tanggukou, the Zhoushui Alliance's ability to transport troops and materials is far greater than that of the five giants of Jicheng.

What is it to learn to fight?

Isn't it just that there are more soldiers than anyone, the equipment is stronger, and the supplies can last longer! The five giants of Jicheng are not a once-in-a-century military talent, and they can defeat their opponents with less than one-third of their opponents' troops. Compared with military intelligence, the players of the Zhoushui Alliance are by no means bad.

Therefore, Jicheng's fleet did not have the slightest intention of taking the initiative to use force with the Zhoushui Alliance, but planned to build a walled city not far from the supply base of the Zhoushui Alliance to contain the supply base of the Zhoushui Alliance.

Their fleet circled around the sea mouth, but they were depressed that almost all the NPCs of the Zhoushui Alliance were active, and they had no suitable place to moor. ——The Zhoushui Alliance knew what Jicheng's fleet was here for, and of course it would not let them set up camp around them, and a large number of ferries, guard towers, fortifications, etc. were built in the core coastline area within a radius of forty or fifty miles, and the fleet of Jicheng would never have a place to stay. If Jicheng's fleet dares to forcibly board 6 and occupy the territory that has been demarcated by the Zhoushui Alliance, then I'm sorry, everyone has to fight each other.

The players who were busy in the Zhoushui Alliance saw more than seventy fleets in Jicheng passing through the area of the sea mouth, but they couldn't go ashore, and they whistled playfully to see them off.

Jicheng's fleet went around and didn't find a suitable place, and the captain sent someone to find the person in charge of the Zhoushui Alliance in Tanggukou, hoping that the Zhoushui Alliance could give them a little territory in Tanggukou.

Of course, this unreasonable request was directly rejected by the firmament of the Zhoushui Alliance and the spread of the wings of Dapeng, just kidding, giving up part of the place to the people of Jicheng, so why did they come here so hard to occupy the territory?

Jicheng's fleet was helpless, and was forced to go dozens of miles downstream of Bohai Bay, looking for a suitable place to stop temporarily, and build a supply base. The plan to divide the mouth of the Ji River equally with the Zhoushui Alliance was completely unrealizable.

The captain of the Jicheng fleet did not dare to decide to start a war with the Zhoushui Alliance to fight for access to the sea, and he had to report back to the five giants of Jicheng and get the approval of the five giants, but the possibility of getting the approval of the five giants was too small.

The Jicheng fleet unloaded nearly 10,000 manpower and materials in Bohai Bay, passed through the territory of the Zhoushui Alliance again, returned to Jicheng along the Jihe River from the mouth of the sea, and truthfully reported the situation at Tanggukou and some of the deployments of the Zhoushui Alliance to the five giants of Jicheng.

After the blood-colored sky, the confusion, the bright moon of the year, Qin II, Beiming, and others learned of the situation, they couldn't help but feel extremely heavy.

The blood-colored sky muttered: "The mouth of the sea has been occupied by the Zhoushui Alliance, and it won't take long for the Zhoushui Alliance to completely consolidate that territory. A big trouble! Brother Meng, Brother Mingyue, Brother II and Brother Beiming, do you think we should invest huge forces to seize the sea? ”

Confused and expressionless: "In terms of military and economic deployment, the value of the territory of the sea outlet is enough to be exchanged for it at any price." But," he looked at the other four, "Of the five of us here, as long as one of them secretly retains his strength, then the other four will not dare to devote all their strength to fighting for this territory with the Zhoushui Alliance." Unless we can concentrate our efforts, it is better not to act rashly. ”

Mingyue smiled and said, "Why don't we give it a try?" With the combined strength of our five families, if we can go all out, although we may not be able to defeat the Zhoushui Alliance, at least we will not be able to monopolize the entire sea mouth by it. ”

Qin II said ruthlessly: "All the ships in our hands, as well as the ships of other small chambers of commerce in Jicheng, can make up nearly two hundred and fifty ships in total. The number of troops that can be invested at one time can be as high as 20,000 or 30,000, plus the 5,000 troops that have already been sent, it is almost the same. These forces are not very difficult for us. All delivered to the sea. It's enough to use these forces to force the Zhoushui Alliance to make concessions, and we can force the Zhoushui Alliance to give up half of the sea access......"

Bei Ming said: "What if the Zhou Shui Alliance still refuses? ”

"Hit!"

Qin II said sharply without hesitation, "Let's send someone to negotiate with them, if the Zhoushui Alliance is interested and takes the initiative to give up half of the sea mouth, then it is best." If negotiation doesn't solve the problem, then punch a result! We have hundreds of thousands of players in Jicheng, and his Zhou Shui is only tens of thousands! than consumption, to see who consumed whom! ”
