A fleet of 20 fighting ships of the Zhoushui Alliance blockaded the treaty port of Yingkou in Liaodong, intending to force the Xiangping Walled City to yield and accept the terms of the Zhoushui Alliance. The counterattack of the Xiangping Walled City also began, and they went to the nearest two walled cities of Panjin and Jinzhou to seek an alliance, but they were refused.

The Xiangping Walled City was not discouraged, and led dozens of player teams to the nearest lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Shandong Peninsula, and even as far away as Qingdao and other places within a sea area of one or two thousand miles, seeking to buy fighting ships and warships, looking for an alliance of player forces, and breaking the Zhoushui fleet's military monopoly on the Bohai Sea.

Each envoy lobbied for the player forces who had the ability to build a fighter.

Along the lower reaches of the Yellow River, along the Shandong Peninsula, there are a total of six player forces that can make warships, and they are in the Zhou royal family, Wei, Yan, and Qi. The key targets of Xiangping's lobbying are these six. It is hoped that a batch of fighting ships can be purchased from these six families, and these six families will be invited to enter the Bohai Sea together to break the blockade of Yingkou by the Zhou Water fleet.

The lobbying of the Xiangping Walled City was quite effective.

Except that the Qingdao fleet was unable to draw out the fleet to participate because it was expanding its territory in the southern part of the Yellow Sea. The rest of the five player forces, Mengjin, Guandu, Puyang, Jibei, and Jinan, all agreed to sell some warships to Xiangping, or directly send a fleet to break through the blockade of Yingkou by the Zhoushui fleet. Because of their raw materials, many parts are purchased from Yingkou, Liaodong. If the Zhoushui Alliance levied an escort tax of 15% on every sailing ship in Yingkou, it would be tantamount to taxing them in disguise, which seriously damaged their interests.

It is precisely because of this stake that the Xiangping Walled City successfully lobbied and brought all five of their forces together to form the Yellow River camp. The core brains of the six forces gathered together to discuss how to deal with the blockade of the Zhou Shui fleet.

Each of them has different opinions on how to break the lockdown.

The opinion of Xiangping in the past and present life was that the six families should form a combined fleet and completely defeat the Zhoushui fleet in Tanggukou, Lushun, Weihai and other places. So. The Zhou fleet completely disappeared from the Bohai Sea. The entire Bohai Sea can be divided by six families, and it will be greatly profitable.

As for Xiangpingdi's optimistic view, the other five do not agree.

If the Zhou Shui fleet was so easily destroyed, would the five of them stay in the hinterland of the Yellow River instead of running to the Bohai Sea?

The Zhou fleet dominated the Bohai Sea. It's not a day or two, it's a month or two. During this time, the entire Bohai Circle, large and small shipyards, were wiped out and strangled, and except for the seven shipyard members of the Bohai Alliance, almost none of them managed to survive.

Because of certain scruples, the Zhou fleet never entered the hinterland of the Yellow River. So there are a lot of shipyards in the hinterland of the Yellow River. Dozens of large and small. The fleets of the five large shipyards in the hinterland of the Yellow River also have a lot of scruples, and they will not easily go to the Bohai Sea range of the Zhoushui Alliance to operate.

The total number of ships in the Zhoushui fleet is more than 250, which is almost 2/3 of the total fleet of the five powers. The number seems to be a little less, but don't forget that there are also seven shipyards of the Bohai Alliance. There is not much difference in the total number of ships between the two sides.

If the two camps of the "Bohai Alliance" and the "Yellow River Camp" really go to war, it will be a very tragic sea battle. Whether it is the Bohai Alliance, or the five forces in the hinterland of the Yellow River. It is difficult to bear such losses.

The five forces did not approve of a direct war with the Zhou Fleet, but tended to put pressure on the Zhou Fleet, force the Zhou Fleet back, and lift the blockade of Yingkou by the Zhou Fleet. So. Their ground fleet would not suffer losses, and the goal of breaking the blockade was accomplished.

Meng Jin's player leader shook his head and said, "Attacking the Zhoushui fleet is a military adventure!" ”

"Nope. This is by no means a military adventure. ”

In the past and present lives, he said excitedly, pointing to the map and said: "If you look at the map of the Bohai Sea, the Zhoushui fleet is scattered in Tanggukou, Lushunkou, and Weihai, and the number of ships is 100, 100, and 50 respectively. The seven shipyards of the Bohai Alliance are scattered in Leling, Bohai City, Tanggukou, Jicheng, Haitang, Leting, and Qinhuangdao. This gave us every chance to break the ground. As long as the six of us form a huge combined fleet with a strength of about 200 warships or more, and attack Tanggukou first, and then Lushun and Weihai, it will be enough to defeat each of them. Sweep these targets in turn. Completely dismantle the Bohai Alliance! When the time comes, we will be able to sail freely throughout the Bohai Sea. ”

The other leaders were a little silent.

The pie of the beautiful land drawn in the past and present lives. Let them be a little tempted. If they can really defeat the Zhou Shui fleet and crisscross the Bohai Sea, then they will naturally benefit a lot. But no matter how well the pie is drawn, if you can't eat it in your mouth, it's also a pipe dream.

In order to defeat the Zhou Shui fleet, all the fleets of the five forces must come out of the nest before it can be done. After a fierce battle at sea, there must be two or three fleets with heavy losses, and which fleet is left in the end?

You must know that the six player forces of the Yellow River camp came together purely to deal with the Zhou Shui fleet, and the Zhou Shui fleet was destroyed, then the Yellow River camp must be disbanded immediately, and they will continue to fight each other to fight for the territory in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow River. Who can guarantee that they will make a profit in the end? It is likely that he has worked hard for himself, but he has made wedding clothes for others.

The leaders had no intention of sacrificing themselves to fulfill the idea of hegemony of others.

Meng Jin's leader said: "In this way, let's use diplomacy first, send an envoy to put pressure on the Zhoushui Alliance and ask it to withdraw its troops!" If they take the initiative to withdraw their troops, this is naturally the best, then we don't have to fight this battle, and keep it as it is. If they do not withdraw their troops and continue to blockade the camp entrance, then we should consider military actions****** and we must not use troops too casually, otherwise we will hurt others and hurt ourselves, so it is better to be cautious. ”

The leaders laughed and agreed with the suggestion.

After some consultations, the six forces reached a preliminary agreement -- salute first and then soldier.

In the name of the Yellow River camp, the six forces officially submitted a protest statement to the Zhoushui Alliance: demanding that the Zhoushui fleet immediately withdraw its troops from the sea at Yingkou, restore trade with Yingkou, and revoke all unreasonable demands on Yingkou, otherwise the six forces of the Yellow River camp will jointly declare war on the Zhoushui Alliance.

The Zhoushui Alliance received the protest statement from the Yellow River camp and laughed dumbly. The closure has been closed for several days, what are you protesting about? Wouldn't it be enough to send a fleet directly from the hinterland of the Yellow River!

Soon, Qin Xiaobai replied with an official statement: The Bohai Alliance's move is only aimed at Xiangping, and has nothing to do with others, and asks the five forces of the Yellow River not to interfere unreasonably. If it is forcibly intervened, it will be regarded as an active offense against the Bohai Alliance.

Qin Xiaobai's meaning is already very clear, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal. The fleets of the various naval bases have long been waiting to come out and find an opponent to fight, and now it is up to them to see who can't help but jump out first.

The six forces of the Yellow River camp were very helpless to understand one thing clearly: protest was ineffective against the Zhou fleet, and only by force could dialogue be conducted.

The brains urgently consulted all night, stayed up all night and made the only decision that could be made - to embark on a military adventure, dispatch one of the strongest fleets, and engage in a head-on naval battle with the Zhoushui fleet in the Bohai Sea to defeat the Zhoushui fleet.

The moment of the war is very cool, but the preparation before the war is not a very interesting thing.

Mengjin, Guandu, Puyang, Jibei, Jinan, these five places are distributed in the hinterland of the Yellow River. From Mengjin in the far reaches to the mouth of the Yellow River, it was 1,748 miles, and the fleet had to sail for five or six days to reach the mouth of the sea and join the other fleets.

The five fleets converged at the port of Jinan and were resupplied. In addition, Xiangping spent a huge amount of money to purchase 10 fighting ships from each of the five companies, and formed a fleet of 50 fighting ships to join the combined fleet.

In the Yellow River camp, a total of nearly 300 fighting ships of different light and heavy were dispatched, with a total strength of more than 10,000 troops, and the daily consumption of grain reached 360,000 catties. Fortunately, food can be purchased from allies, otherwise the long supply lines alone will drag down the Mengjin fleet, which is the farthest away.

Such a military operation has no secrecy at all, and there is no surprise effect.

From the moment of the transfer, the fleet of the Yellow River camp received information from the Bohai Sea. After five or six days for the Yellow River camp to assemble, the fleet of the Bohai Alliance was also assembled, and because of the short distance, the assembly was faster than that of the Yellow River camp.

The large-scale assembly of the five major naval fleets of the Yellow River at the same time caused the shock of countless players along the Yellow River. When almost all players saw the news that the largest fleet had appeared in Jinan so far, a thought flashed through their intuition - to fight a naval battle. And the object of this naval war is undoubtedly the Bohai Alliance, which is massively assembled at Leling.

All kinds of gossip spread all over the lower banks of the Yellow River, the royal families of Yan, Qi, Wei, Zhou and other places.

The players were all in a hurry to watch this rare battle for the Bohai Sea. Most players don't know what this battle is about, but in their opinion, it is undoubtedly a battle for water supremacy.

As a result of the war, either the Yellow River camp broke through the blockade of the Bohai Sea by the Bohai League and crisscrossed the Bohai Sea from then on; Either the Bohai Alliance defeated the Yellow River camp and rushed into the Yellow River sphere of influence.
