After the negotiations ended, the Zhoushui Alliance and the five giants of Jicheng broke up unhappily. The Big Five hurriedly returned to Jicheng to find out how long their food could supply the army and whether it could support them to defeat the Zhoushui Alliance.

Qin Xiaobai, Sheep, Nameless, Qianli Buliu and others did not relax their vigilance.

Nameless smiled: "Although the population of Jicheng is ten times that of us, they don't have enough food, and they can dispatch fewer troops than us. If there is a war at Tanggukou, I don't think they have a chance of winning. We have played an important role in purchasing grain in Jicheng during this time. ”

"Then are we going to continue with our own military base program, or are we going to go to war with them?" ”

Qin Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Although the troops they can dispatch are limited by food, I estimate that they may not give up the sea mouth, and it is still possible to risk sending troops to fight with us for the sea mouth." Tanggukou is the maritime gateway of Jicheng, with great economic and military value, and they may not be willing to let go of this piece of fat. They should have dispatched no more than 50,000 troops, so that they could continue to fight effectively. The Ministry of Security must be ready to fight them. Only when they are hurt will they relent.

The Big Five's joint attack this time is not solid. If they play well, they may continue to join forces to ask us for more benefits. But if they suffer defeat and cannot gain anything in the external war, they will be forced to retreat back to Jicheng and continue the internal fighting. - Just force them back to Jicheng and continue to fight for the supreme control of Jicheng. We don't have to do it ourselves, they will fight on their own. At that time, they didn't pose any threat to us. ”

Qin Xiaobai glanced at everyone.

Everyone nodded.

Chisato did not stay and nodded. "Okay, I'll go back and prepare a plan to fight them. Come up with a complete battle plan as soon as possible. ”

Qin Xiaobai's speculation was not wrong.

It is indeed difficult to make the Big Five of Jicheng give up the fat meat of the sea. With the strong strength of the five giants of Jicheng, they are qualified to occupy a piece of territory here and share the sea mouth equally with the Zhoushui Alliance. And the player forces of other nearby walled cities, such as Bohai City and Liaoxi City, did not dare to make a move, because they knew that they were not the opponents of the Zhoushui Alliance and the Five Giants of Jicheng at all, and they were just sent to death in vain when they ran over recklessly.

The blood-colored sky, the confusion, the bright moon of the year, Qin II, and the North Ming roughly checked the grain reserves of Jicheng...... Subsequently. They still sent a huge fleet of 200 ships that they had prepared, carrying more than 20,000 soldiers, food and supplies. Travel hundreds of miles to the mouth of the Jihe River.

Two hundred light, medium and heavy cabin ships sailed mightily on the Ji River, heading towards the Bohai Sea, attracting the attention and shock of countless players and NPCs on the riverbank. It was so strong that the whole fleet sailed on the big river, and there was no edge in sight.

Zhoushui Lake.

In a large ship warehouse on the shore of the Zhoushui Shipyard, a hundred high-quality light sailing ships are already parked side by side. It's magnificent. Today is the day when the sailing ship of Zhoushui Shipyard is officially launched and operated. The leaders of the Zhoushui Alliance have almost arrived.

"Out of the water~!" With an excited shout, the Fortune Green Bull ordered thousands of NPC sailors to push the sailboat and glide along the tracks. The sailboat slid into the water, booming and splashing. One by one. Juxtaposed in the vast surrounding lakes. Although fifty sailing ships are many, they are only like 100 grains of millet in a large water tank in this vast Zhoushui Lake, which is insignificant.

It was the first new type of merchant ship to be used in the ocean.

What really excited people was the ships in another warehouse, the fifty light dhows.

The ship is equipped with a half-height female wall on the side of the ship, and there are paddle holes under the two gunwales; A defensive building was built inside the ship, and the walls of the upper floors had a large number of archery holes. There is a female wall on the roof of the building, which is condescending, and can be placed with banners to direct the golden drum used for attacking and defending. The three-story ship can accommodate 200 halberd infantry and archers.

Such a ship can easily rely on archers to suppress ordinary cabin ships and sailing ships.

In addition, the interior of the ship can be refitted. Equipped with large machine crossbows and giant crossbow arrows, operated by three archers, the range can be increased to 100 steps, and the destructive power is amazing. Or install a large rock-throwing device on the roof of the building, and use a boulder as a weapon to smash a ship hundreds of meters away. In the future, artillery can be developed, and cannons can also be installed to directly bombard targets thousands of meters away.

The specific weapons to be used need to be studied in terms of military equipment. There is already a special team at Zhoushui Academy, which is researching various long-range shooting weapons for the use of the 6th Army.

Such a warship was the first purely military warship, which was specially designed for naval operations.

The warship, a project secretly developed by Zhoushui Shipyard, is unanimously highly secret, and few people know about it. Since the successful research of light sailing ships, Micai Qingniu has invested most of his funds and energy in the research of military ships in accordance with Qin Xiaobai's requirements, and cooperated with the naval base plan. It took more than 20 NPC shipbuilding researchers five or six days and nearly 700,000 copper coins to build dozens of warships before they succeeded in developing a light fighting ship. After successfully researching the fighting ships, all the craftsmen of the centralized shipyard worked hard day after day to build fifty such fighting ships. The warships are an extremely important part of the plan to build the Tanggukou Naval Base. Without them, there is no so-called navy at all. The naval base program will also be in name only.

Now, the five giants of Jicheng thought that they could challenge the monopoly of the Zhoushui Alliance in shipping by dispatching two hundred cabin ships, and it was time for them to dispatch to let the five giants of Jicheng know what unstoppable power was.

In the warehouse, the leaders of the Zhou Water Alliance saw the rows of mighty and tall warships, and immediately burst out with an incomparably violent shout, "Battleship, we finally have a real battleship!" "Oh my God, when was this made, and so many! I didn't even know anything about it beforehand, and the secrecy was too strict! "Haha, this time we have to let the people of Jicheng take a look."

A rare smile appeared on Qin Xiaobai's face, and he patted the shoulder of the young man, "Good job, this is the happiest thing I've seen these days!" ”

The sheep also smiled and said: "Brother Qingniu, you have made a great contribution this time, and you have not embarrassed me." I don't think it will be long before you become one of the top players in our Zhoushui Alliance. ”

The Lost Wealth Qingniu was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is thanks to the cultivation of the boss and the eldest brother, otherwise my Qingniu would not have been able to achieve such results!" Speaking of credit, it is still the credit of the boss and the eldest brother, and the younger brother and I are just running errands, and I dare not take credit. ”

The nameless, thousands of miles away, become a king and other people laughed. They also knew in their hearts that with the rapid growth of the navy's strength, it would not be long before the Fortune Lost Green Bull would be qualified to be on an equal footing with them. This is also something that can't be helped, who asked the little white boss to hand over the entire Zhoushui Shipyard to the Lost Wealth Green Cow to do it, and directly supported the rising star of the Lost Wealth Green Cow.

Out of the wealth of the green cow, there is another person who rises faster, that is, the person in charge of the technology investment department of Zhoushui Academy wants money and does not want to die. Qin Xiaobai needs to understand the progress of technical research in all aspects in real time, and only by mastering technological progress can he grasp the overall situation. Therefore, if you want money, you don't want to die, and you have to report to Qin Xiaobai almost every day on the progress of the work of the Technology Investment Department. The entire Zhoushui Alliance has met Qin Xiaobai the most times, and it is that he wants money and death. The wealth and profits in the hands of the technology investment department are also quite amazing.

The warship was officially launched. The Zhoushui Alliance conducted a very lively battleship launching ceremony in Zhoushui Lake, which attracted many players to watch the Zhoushui Walled City. Ordinary Zhou Shui players saw the fifty fighting ships lined up majestically, and burst into countless cheers.

One hundred light sailing ships, which belong to the three major shipping companies of Zhoushui.

The fifty warships are the standing navy of the Zhoushui Alliance, funded by all the members of the alliance, and commanded by the deputy speaker of the Ministry of Security.

The fleet of one hundred and fifty ships slowly sailed out of Zhoushui Lake in turn, entered the Zhoushui River, and headed for the Jihe River. In order to avoid running aground on the river, they drove slowly with no load and no sails were hung. It is not until after entering the Jihe River that a large number of people transported from Route 6 will be loaded; This time, this fleet will form a real naval fleet.

They poured out of their nests to intercept the fleet of more than 200 ships in Jicheng and prevent this Jicheng fleet from going to the sea. If nothing else, they will encounter the Jicheng fleet in the middle of the Ji River.
