Chapter 705 Ready to go
All day long on January 21st in the fourth year of Tianxuan, the territory of Yizhen entered a state of intense preparations for war. Of course, the war did not start on the 12 islands in the territory of Yizhen or the offshore waters of the territory of Yizhen, but was about to go to the main mainland.
Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp, who had been exhausted from fighting for a long time, only returned to the lord's hut in Yi Town to wait for the super warship purchased by Qumao, and rested in the room on the third floor of the lord's hut It's only two or three hours. After getting the super warship, I started to get busy.
Tomorrow night, 1.2 million expeditionary troops and 200,000 army support troops will be transported to Liuwang Principality, and more than 3,000 troop carriers will be used, so overall planning is still needed.
Qu Mao once again provided 100 super warships. It is definitely difficult for Sylvia Ocean to deploy all of these warships in the short term. After all, there is a gap in the total number of naval personnel in the territory of Yi Town.
But it did allow the super warships of the Yizhen Territory Navy to reach 600 warships, which means that the hardware conditions of the Yizhen Territorial Navy have been met, but the software is still insufficient.
Considering that 1.4 million fighters will be transported to the Liuwang Principality, Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swanpu must consider the possibility of boarding the 1.4 million fighters in the territory of Yi Town and disembarking in the territory of the Liuwang Principality. matter.
This made Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp have to temporarily mobilize a large number of naval fighters from the main naval battle team to start the new type of troop carrier and troop carrier.
Originally, transporting troops in multiple batches could completely solve the current predicament, but Qu Mao believed that multiple troop transports would inevitably reduce the suddenness of the Yizhen Territory Expeditionary Army's operations against Liuwang Principality, and it would be difficult to achieve an unexpected effect. Transport 1.4 million soldiers to land in Liuwang Principality.
This is not insignificant in terms of the pressure on the navy. A troop carrier can only transport 1,000 people at a time. The capacity of the new troop carrier is one to two times stronger, but it is impossible for a single ship to transport more than 3,000 people at a time.
The soldiers who go on an expedition are not just people, but also the supplies, equipment, weapons, etc. of the soldiers, which must be carried. This means that the number of soldiers transported by a single troop carrier is even smaller.
Especially for the cavalry legion, there are also mounts that need to be transported there at the same time. The transport capacity of a troop carrier occupied by a mount is at least three soldiers.
Sunan did build a temporary dock in Nancun in advance, but the coastline of Nancun is limited, and the total number of temporary docks built by Sunan does not exceed 50. It is also a very troublesome thing for soldiers to disembark and land.
Based on 50 temporary docks, a temporary dock can berth 2 troop carriers at the same time, and all 3,000 troop carriers have to berthed 30 times, which is obviously not possible.
Even if some of the light infantry on the troop carrier can land by shuttle boat, diving and swimming, the speed will not be accelerated much. After simple calculations by Sylvia Ocean and Faur Swamp, it is concluded that all 3,000 warships have landed. The time will be around 12 hours, which obviously won't work.
Even if all 1.4 million soldiers landed, it would not be easy to spread them out quietly.
At present, the 100,000 standing troops of Luanshanhou Kingdom are mainly distributed in two canyons. Among them, about 80,000 troops are deployed in the 100-kilometer-wide canyon at the junction of Luanshanhou Kingdom and Liuwang Principality, and about 80,000 troops are deployed in the 100-kilometer-wide canyon at the junction of Luanshan Houguo and Liuwang Principality, while the junction of Jierhou Kingdom and Luanshanhou Kingdom About 20,000 troops were deployed in the 10-kilometer-wide canyon.
Chafidel, Sir Mrak and Hua Tilan are in charge of attacking the Luanshanhou Kingdom. They plan to launch a sneak attack quietly and take down the garrison in the 10-kilometer-wide canyon at the junction of the Jillhou Kingdom and the Luanshanhou Kingdom.
The commander-in-chief of the garrison, Zhang Da, also requested the first batch of soldiers to go into battle. After the army captured the canyon at the junction of Jierhou State and Luanshanhou State, the first batch of landing personnel of the garrison army could directly take over the canyon and build a fortress in the canyon.
Convection King Principality and Luanshanhou Kingdom's combat plan, Su Yan, Zhao Pan, Chafidel, etc. repeatedly deliberated on the details of the operation, and constantly improved the operation plan.
Sylvia Ocean, Fur Swamp, and the naval heroes deduced the details of the escort, troop transport, and soldiers landing over and over again, and finally came to the conclusion that there was only one landing point in Nancun It is not enough to complete the task of transporting troops assigned by Qu Mao.
Qu Mao did not have the patience to listen to the detailed reports of the army heroes and Su Yan for the specific details of the battle. Instead, he asked Su Yan, Zhao Pan, Chafidel, Wang Ping, and Sir Mrak to pack strategic supplies and food in bags as much as possible. , give it to different heroes and put it in the backpack.
The predicament encountered by the Lord of the Chosen players when the invasion fleet retreated, Qu Mao believed that it was a lesson for the expeditionary force, army, and garrison of the Yizhen Territory.
The territory of Yi Town is not short of food. Even if the total population of the territory of Yi Town increases to over 100 million, the food stored now can last about three years, so there is absolutely no need to treat the soldiers who are going to war badly.
After the war against the Lords of the Chosen players to invade the fleet, all the military factories in the territory of Yizhen knew that there was an upcoming battle against the Duchy of Convective King, so they have been producing consumable strategic materials at full capacity, as well as reserves of consumables such as arrows and gun barrels. very adequate.
Since there is such a condition, Qu Mao naturally hopes that the troops who go out will bring more with them.
Moreover, the number of heroes in the territory of Yizhen is too large, leaving enough heroes on the 12 islands in the territory of Yizhen, and the total number of heroes who can go out with the army can reach 60.
With so many heroes going out, each hero's backpack is full, which is definitely enough for an army of 1.7 million. What's more, it is estimated that the total number of heroes dispatched will not be less than 20. After Heliu Wang Principality, even if these two countries are short of food, they can still be transported by sea, and there is no problem.
As for the issue of landing and transportation, on the morning of January 22nd in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp had worked out a countermeasure, that is, the expeditionary navy set off ahead of schedule to completely control Yancheng Port.
After controlling Yancheng Port, Yancheng Port can at least solve the problem of half of the troop transport ships. As for transporting the army and garrison, the number is 400,000 less. In addition, Nancun is far away from the army and garrison. China is closer, so it is not considered to transport the army and garrison to Yancheng port.
Of course, the army and the garrison should also transport 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 third-tier garrison troops, and 10,000 second-tier garrison troops to land in advance, so as to raid the 10-kilometer-wide canyon on the border between Jierhou and Luanshanhou. garrison.
