In the Quping Naval Base, many naval officers and soldiers from Jingzhou and even Gaoqing Prefecture quickly ran out of many dormitory buildings or other places.

The shrill sirens are still sounding, and everyone knows that the whistle in this frequency band is an alarm of an incoming enemy.

Many of the warships in the harbor that were originally repairing and replenishing hurriedly lit fires, while the warships that were already in a state of combat readiness and had been in a state of fire began to start slowly and began to move towards the outside of the port.

The sudden alarm of the enemy fleet attack made this huge naval base, which was moored with a large number of warships, instantly become lively and even chaotic.

There is not only the Gyeongju fleet, but also the fleet from Gaoqingzhou.

Since last year, the three states of Jingzhou, Gaoqingzhou, and Ningwu Prefecture have reached a strategic alliance, which is a closer strategic alliance than the seven northern states as a whole, and they began to form a three-state alliance, not only on the army side, but also on the navy side.

The fact that these three states were able to form a closer strategic alliance was actually related to the history of these three states, although Gaoqing Prefecture and Ningwu Prefecture were already in a state of feudal separation, but these two states have always leaned towards the royal side.

In the past, the connection between the three states was very close, so that even after the division of Gaoqing Prefecture and Ningwu Prefecture, it was actually difficult to completely break off contact with Jingzhou, so that for a long time they maintained a kind of independence and mutual defense, but they would cooperate in the face of foreign enemies.

This is not the will of the top leaders of the three states themselves, but reality forces them to do so!

Gaoqing Prefecture and Ningwu Prefecture need to maintain certain economic and trade ties with the Jingzhou side, and even need all kinds of weapons and equipment produced by the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau.

At the same time, Jingzhou needs to win them over, so that they don't have to move their troops south and kill Jingzhou together with other states.

It's a relationship of mutual defense and at the same time helping each other.

It is precisely because of this relationship that they were able to form a real three-state strategic alliance at the first time when the Daheng Unification Army was rising, and jointly fought against the Daheng Unification Army.

At the beginning, the more than 200,000 troops on the southern front of Jingzhou were the three-state coalition army.

Otherwise, Jingzhou alone would not be able to maintain an army of more than 200,000 on the southern front.

Similarly, in terms of naval operations, the coastal state of Gaoqingzhou also coordinated operations with the Jingzhou side, and the fleet of Gaoqingzhou went south early and stationed at the Quping Naval Base to fight against the Daheng Unification Army together with the Jingzhou fleet.

Last year, the fleets of these two states also frequently attacked and blocked the coastal routes of Dongdingzhou and Nanhai Prefecture, and once entered Shayang Bay, but with the gradual completion of the internal integration of the Daheng Unification Army, after integrating many local fleets into a unified Daheng Unification Army fleet, it was difficult for them to gain any advantage, and they could only rely on the Quping Naval Base to protect the coastline of Jingzhou and Gaoqing Prefecture.

Now that the Daheng unified army fleet is coming, the naval combined fleets of these two states are naturally the first to act.

But they are acting fast, but they are still too slow, too slow.

A large number of their warships have not yet left the port, and the warships of the Daheng Unified Army Fleet have already appeared on the horizon.

The watchtower on the high mountain in the port had already spotted Huang Xinggang's fast fleet when it first appeared on the horizon, and then passed the relevant information to the combined fleet in the port.

But it still doesn't make sense!

Because of the large number of warships in the harbor, it is impossible to light a fire in such a short time, and obtain enough steam pressure to make the battleships move, and leave the port immediately to meet the battle.

Only the six warships that are really able to act are in combat readiness.

The six warships had already left the harbor one after another and lined up in formation to meet them.

Of course, even if the remaining more than a dozen capital ships in the port are still unable to move, there is no need to worry about the fleet of the Daheng Unification Army entering the port and annihilating them one by one.

This is the largest and most well-equipped naval base in the Great Heng Empire.

As a naval base, it has perfect protection measures, and the entire military port belongs to the inner bay, and the channel in and out of the port is flanked by extremely strong batteries.

This began the fort that the Great Heng Empire had been operating for hundreds of years!

The perfect coastal defense fort system is completely capable of completely blocking the shipping lanes in and out of the inner bay!

Therefore, even if the two-state fleet in the port is unable to move for a short time, it is still safe.

However, on the other side, Admiral Huang Xinggang looked at the scene of the Quping Naval Base in front of him, and his face was full of joy!

The intelligence is not wrong, the main fleet of the enemy fleet is really in the Quping Naval Base!

In this way, as long as you act quickly, you will be able to completely block the enemy fleet in the Quping naval base.

Unlike what the two state fleets feared, the Daheng Unification Army fleet would enter the port and annihilate them.

The Daheng Unification Army Navy has never thought of breaking through the blockade of the coastal defense batteries and directly entering the port to annihilate the warships inside.

Their strategic purpose was very clear: to block the main warships of the enemy fleet in the harbor and prevent them from coming out, so as to cover the entry of the First Artillery Fleet into the lower reaches of the Jing River and provide fire support for the army units.

Even in this process, it doesn't matter how many enemy ships can be sunk or killed, as long as the enemy ships are blocked in the harbor, it is a victory, and for this, they have prepared additional means!

That's the shipwreck to block the shipping lane!

This time, they planned to directly use the two old warships in the rear fleet to rush up and sink themselves, blocking the narrow channel of Quping Military Port.

As long as this channel is blocked, then the enemy fleet will not be able to come out, and no matter how strong the battleships are, no matter how many they are, it is meaningless.

Whether it is a shipwreck to block the channel, or a fast fleet attack, a quick approach and blockade, etc., or even the precise calculation of the port in the early stage, the sailing time, taking advantage of the night to approach, etc., all have only one purpose, that is, to block the enemy fleet in Quping Military Port.

And all this also has a precursor, that is, the enemy fleet is in the port!

Before the unified fleet set sail, it was through spies, camouflaged fishing boats, and merchant ships approached to observe and confirm that the opponent's main fleet was in the harbor before starting to attack.

But even then, there is a possibility of accidents.

Now it seems that there was no mistake in the intelligence, and the enemy fleet was not temporarily transferred, they were at the Quping naval base at this moment.

And then, for the Daheng Unification Army Navy, the tactics have become very simple: rush over and block the port!
