Three Kingdoms Online Games: Battle for Hegemony

Pang Tong’s words made Huangfu Chaobo’s eyes bright. He suddenly remembered what Mi Zhen had said on the boat when she first arrived in Qingzhou. When she was a child, she also went to sea with Mi’s fleet. There was one on the sea east of Qu County. The big island, called Yuzhoushan Island, is said to have been occupied by a group of pirates.

Speaking of Yuzhoushan Island, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly thought of another name: Tianhengdao. That is the location of Lianyungang in reality.

Yuzhou was originally an ancient continent name in our country. According to legend, Tian Heng lived here at the end of Qin Dynasty, so it is also known as Tian Heng Island. In the area of ​​Dongyuntai Mountain in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu today. In ancient times, in the sea, "weeks back hundreds of miles" ("Southern Qi Shu · Zhou County Records"). During the Qing Dynasty, due to the expansion of the coast, it was connected to the mainland. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Bing Yuan moved his home into the sea and lived in the Yuzhou Mountains.

Yes, Qingdao is more than four hundred miles away from Yuzhou Mountain Island, which happens to occupy this island, making him a transit rest point for the navy to go south to the Jiangdong.

Then, if you go south from Yuzhou Mountain, you still need to walk more than 800 miles. It seems that you need to find another island near the mouth of Huai River.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo quickly asked Jiang Qin to send people to explore the situation on Yuzhoushan Island. If there were still pirates occupying it, he would take it down and occupy the island.

As expected by Huangfu Chaobo, three days later, the fleet met with the scout ship dispatched in advance in the sea sixty miles north of Yuzhoushan Island. The Red Horse Ship of the Fury Troops docked at the northeast corner of Yuzhoushan Island. Afterwards, several elite navy soldiers were sent to investigate the entire island carefully.

Yuzhoushan Island is to the east of Quxian County, Xuzhou, about ten miles away from the coast. The island is an irregular long strip, about 20 miles long from northeast to southwest, and less than ten miles wide from northwest to southeast. The hills on the island are undulating, and there are several high mountains about several hundred feet high. The mountains are densely wooded, and the terrain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest.

The scout climbed onto the island from a hanging foot in the northeast, and then passed through the mountains to the south of the island. The western part of the southern part of the island is relatively high and wooded, and the eastern part is a large flat land within a radius of several miles.

The scout had been observing the mountains for half a day and one night, and he had basically figured out the situation on the island.

On the plain to the southeast, there is indeed a group of pirates. It seems that there are at least thousands of people. Their ships are parked in a small port on the southeast of the island. There are about 20 ships inside. There are also several sea ships.

The reason why the scouts were sure that they were sea ships was also because they had never heard of them in the army, and they had never seen them. Compared with the ships of the Anton Navy, those ships were larger and had a relatively shallow draft. There are not many oars on both sides, but there are several sails on the ship.

After listening to the scout’s report, Huangfu Chaobo was basically able to affirm that the ships the scout found should be the sandboats that people often say. This is one of the four famous ships in ancient China and the longest-lived sea-going ship. Offshore navigation and inland navigation.

However, it is said that the sand ship appeared in the Tang Dynasty at first, but I don't know why it appeared in the game of Three Kingdoms. It was just that Huangfu Chaobo was surprised but very happy about the appearance of the sand ship.

Sand boats have a square head and a stern, commonly known as "square stern"; the deck is spacious, the depth is small, and the freeboard is low; the large beam arch is adopted to make the deck can quickly discharge waves; the "out stern" is convenient for installing elevators, and the "virtual stern" is convenient Manipulate the stern canopy. The ship is equipped with multi-mast and multi-sails, the speed is relatively fast, the rudder area is large and can be raised and lowered. When going out to sea, some rudder blades drop below the bottom of the ship, which can increase the effect of the rudder and reduce the horizontal drift. It can raise the rudder in shallow water.

The sandboat has a unique structure, square toe, square tip, flat bottom, and shallow draft. It has the characteristics of wide, large, flat and shallow. The bottom can sit on the beach and is not afraid of getting aground. The draft is shallow and the impact of tide is relatively small; the sandboat has many masts and many sails. With high masts and high sails, combined with shallow draft and low resistance, it can sail quickly on the sea and has good seaworthiness; it has a large load capacity. Generally records say that the load capacity of a sandboat is four to six thousand shi.

You know, Huangfu Chaobo's largest nautilus has a maximum load of 3,000 stones, and it has been sunk several times in the sea. Another reason is that the sand boat is very suitable for ships traveling in the northern waters, because its ability to resist wind and waves is still slightly lacking. It is still somewhat unsuitable for the big wind and waves of the southern sea, but it is exactly the ship that Huangfu Chaobo needs.

When he thought that there would be a big ship that could adapt to all the inland rivers on the sea, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but look forward to it. I wonder if there are any shipbuilders among the pirates who know how to build sea ships. If you can gather a few craftsmen who build sea ships, it would be best. If it doesn't work, at least these sand boats must be captured.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo called Jiang Qin and let him take charge of the battle.

After Jiang Qin took the order, he left Huangfu Chaobo's warship, returned to his warship, and began to arrange war. Although the Anton Army naval forces are only inland water forces, they are not afraid of such offshore operations against islands.

Half an hour later, after Jiang Qin left two boats to **** Huangfu Chaobo and the transported ship, he led most of the navy towards Yuzhou Mountain Island.

After Jiang Qin's army left, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't stand it anymore. He hadn't seen naval battle yet, but the ship could quickly keep up, but the speed of the nautilus full of war horses and cargo could not be improved.

After thinking about it for a while, Huangfu Chaobo decided to leave three bunkers to **** the merchant ships, and he led a bunker to follow far away to see the naval battle.

After Pang Tong’s persuasion was invalid, they had no choice but to agree. However, the personnel and materials on the ship had to be adjusted. Dian Wei arranged four hundred iron wall battalion soldiers and six hundred Yuan Rong crossbow soldiers on Huangfu Chaobo’s ship. The remaining four hundred crossbowmen were assigned to the remaining three ships to protect the caravan.

Then some other unimportant materials were moved from Huangfu Chaobo’s ship to other ships to increase the speed and flexibility of the ship. After a few more instructions on Dianwei and Shi'a, Huangfu Chaobo was allowed to go. Chasing Jiang Qin's fleet.

However, in the process, Pang Tong moved a little more carefully, deliberately slowing down the soldiers' speed a lot, but Huangfu Chaobo did not find these small details.

After the exchange, more than an hour has passed.

When Huangfu Chaobo took Jia Jing and caught up with Jiang Qin’s fleet with curiosity, he found that their maritime warfare was over. Jiang Qin had led his soldiers to the island. Outside the island’s port, there were floating everywhere. Pieces of wood from ships, and even the dead bodies of some pirates are floating in the sea with waves.

However, the losses of the Fury Camp were very small, with only a few smaller boats injured, and dozens of soldiers casualties.
