Chapter 409: Expedition
Three days later, five ships and twenty fighting ships docked at the dock.
A team of men carried the grain and grass into the hold like ants. On the shore, 10,000 newly recruited sailors lined up in a neat queue, nervous with a little apprehension, and a little confident with apprehension.
Lu Yao rode his horse through the Nuo army formation with Gan Ning's company, and there was a touch of helplessness between his eyebrows.
The newly recruited naval forces have not undergone much training, and their combat effectiveness, especially on the sea, is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary troops. The bumpy sea is enough to teach a harsh lesson to all those who despise the construction of the naval army.
The Xanadu City Navy has just been formed, although Gan Ning and the Jinfan thieves have practiced hard day and night, and even directly pulled to the sea for actual combat training at any cost, but after all, the training time is too short, it can only be said that these sailors are only initially adapted to the water war, and it is still unknown how much strength they can exert when encountering a formal water war.
But Lu Yao couldn't wait.
Strike first.
Chiyang City held back a large fleet without saying a word, trying to smash Huanglong by sea. Fortunately, he was lucky, and by accident he ran into the Chiyang City Naval Army, which was nervously expanding its army. After some burning, killing and looting, Chiyang City was plundered, not to mention more than 900 craftsmen, and the entire fleet was also wiped out in the sea of fire, completely disintegrating Chiyang City's plot.
But Chiyang City is also a family after all.
How much manpower and material resources the family has, and how powerful resources it has, Lu Yao is quite clear. In the previous life, various families joined forces to make trouble in the Huaxia District, making ordinary players become slaves who were oppressed by them. The implications are beyond the imagination of ordinary players. Destroying a fleet and rebuilding a new one is not a difficult task for the Maison.
Especially the last time, only the ships were burned, but the Chiyang City Navy was not damaged at all.
With a trained sailor, replenishing ships is even simpler. After all, shipbuilding only costs money and resources. With the family's strong heritage, this is not a problem at all.
Lu Yao didn't dare to wait. The fighter plane was fleeting. At this time, he was worried that the navy was not well trained, and the number was not enough, so he postponed the expedition, and in the coming day, he was afraid that he would wait for a huge fleet of ships that would cover the entire sea. At that time, the sea road was blocked, and the paradise city would be reduced to a warbler in the kiln.
The power of the sea must be in our hands.
Based on this, Lu Yao decided to practice while walking, and took a cold look to find out where the Chiyang City Navy Army was, and slowed down the Chiyang City Navy as much as possible before the secret weapon came out.
"Lord Wang, why don't you slow down a little longer?" Gan Ning looked entangled and hesitated to propose.
The 10,000 sailors in front of him are the result of his painstaking training. In his eyes, these trolls can only be regarded as rookies with eggshells on their buttocks. Although he has practiced hard for so long, he only does not get seasick, and he has initially mastered various tactics of water warfare, which is far from being proficient.
"Time is running out." Lu Yao shook his head, sighed and rode towards the dock.
Gan Ning scratched his head, and finally followed with a wry smile. He is eager to make contributions and set a banner under Lu Yao's account. But with such rookies, he really has no bottom. If one is not good, the reputation will be lost, and if it is not good, it will have no status in the future. Zhao Yun and other first-class generals put a lot of pressure on him.
At this time, Zhao Yun and the other four generals each led the special troops of the headquarters to the dock. After so many days, they also recruited a few soldiers and horses from the current Xanadu Army.
Pixiu Feiqi still had the largest number of riders, reaching 850 riders. The number of flying horsemen shooting the sun is still the smallest, and they can only make up for the soldiers and horses lost in the first battle of Hwaseong, with only 300 horses. The Gale Rider had strong power, and Hwaseong suffered the least losses in the First Battle, and after replenishment, it reached 750 horsemen. The Pangu Axe Guard suffered a lot of losses in the first battle of Hwaseong, and they could not be replenished after replenishment, and now there are only 650 people left.
Nineteen hundred.
This is the soldiers and horses that Lu Yao wants to bring with him on this expedition. The four special classes can be upgraded by killing enemies, and this time you can brush up experience for the four major classes.
"The King."
Fu Hu ran over panting, and when he saw Lu Yao, he immediately wiped his sweat and took the initiative to ask for battle: "I, Lan Mandong, am willing to go out with the king." ”
Lu Yao hesitated: "The surrounding mountains ......"
Without waiting for Lu Yao to finish speaking, Fu Hu nodded hurriedly and said, "The surrounding mountains have been wiped out, and there is no one who dares to covet us." On this expedition, my Jiuli barbarian soldiers will definitely attack the city and capture the land for the king. ”
Lu Yao groaned.
There's nothing wrong with that. The Jiuli barbarians are good at attacking cities, especially for territories below the size of small cities. However, this time, he only wanted to suppress the Chiyang City Water Army, and did not plan to raid the player's territory within the influence of Chiyang City. Bringing the Jiuli barbarians is basically a burden.
"King, the Jiuli barbarians are the best scouts in the mountains and forests." Seeing Lu Yao's hesitation, Fu Hu hurriedly shouted beside him.
This became the decisive one. Lu Yao shook his head and smiled.
The Jiuli barbarians also performed prominently in the last expedition, which made him forget that the strongest point of the Jiuli barbarians was not stealing the city, but the ability to find out the news in the mountains and forests.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." As soon as Fu Hu saw that Lu Yao had no objection, he was immediately overjoyed, turned around and ran, and brought back more than 800 Jiuli barbarian soldiers who survived the last expedition in a short time. After returning, Lu Yao did not add.
By noon, the grain, grass and baggage were loaded onto the ship. Lu Yao pointed at the horsewhip. Zhao Yun and other four generals led 1,900 special troops to slowly board the ship. In the end, Fu Hu personally led more than 800 Li barbarian soldiers to follow.
Lu Yao watched the special troops board the ship, and then boarded one of the Qiankun Tower ships. This will serve as a flagship. After he boarded the ship, Gan Ning gave an order, and 10,000 sailors moved to board the ship in turn.
An hour later, the sound of trumpets echoed to the beat of the drums, and the fleet hoisted its sails and slowly sailed out of the bay.
……
"This time it's up to you how you die."
The gaze of the sun swept over the forest-like ships on the sea, and he chuckled heartily. After more than a month of holding back the big moves, the Chiyang City Navy Army quickly recovered with the support of various families.
There are 30 building ships, 100 stern fighting ships, and more than 50,000 sailors. Compared with before, the strength has not decreased, but has increased a lot. The only thing that made him unhappy was that the wood resources were being consumed too quickly, and the replenishment could not keep up, and there were only a hundred warships at the moment.
But that's enough for now.
Last time, it was attacked by Lu Yao's two building ships, but now the ships are sufficient, and the navy has been trained for a long time, and the Chiyang City navy can be called the most powerful sea force at present.
It's just a paradise city, and a lonely boat is facing such a strong force, what else can be done to turn the tables?
"Yang Shao, when are we going to go on the expedition?" The blood sword rushed in.
"Do you need to say that? Now, of course, immediately, right now. I'd like to see how the lonely boat would look when he saw my mighty navy. The sun sneered.
Blood Sword was suddenly overjoyed: "This time he can't run." ”
