Chapter 624 Strait of Malacca
Ocean fleet, continue to set sail.
After crossing the waters of the Nansha Islands and sailing for a while, we enter the Strait of Johor.
Speaking of the Strait of Johor, one has to mention the country of Johor. The country of Johor is divided into two parts by the South China Sea. It is located in West Johor on the Malay Peninsula, bordering Siam in the north, and connected to Star Country in the south across the Strait of Johor. East Johor is located in the north of Borneo and borders Java in the south.
The four countries of Johor, Siam, Star, and Java, including the surrounding six countries of Annan, Luzon, Ni, Nanzhang, Chenla, and Pyu, are all members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
According to the federal division, the ten ASEAN countries are all included in Southeast Asia. Therefore, in the game, these ten game areas are both competing with each other and cooperating with each other.
As a member of ASEAN, Johor is most famous for its tin mine, and its tin mine stock ranks first in the world. Historically, Johor gradually prospered precisely because of the discovery of tin mines.
Surrounding the tin mine, there is no telling how many bloody storms have been set off in Johor.
Speaking of tin mines, China in history has a strong demand for tin mines in Johor, especially high-quality tin mines. Because tin is mainly used in the lining of tea boxes, it has a moisture-proof effect.
In addition, Johor's pepper enjoys a high reputation in the West.
Apart from these two specialties in Johor, there is nothing else worthy of Ouyang Shuo's attention. In this ocean voyage, the final destination of the fleet is to cross the English Channel and arrive in the UK, which is unprecedented.
Therefore, if the fleet goes to Johor to purchase a batch of pepper now, and then transports it to the West for sale, it can make a fortune. However, Ouyang Shuo was not prepared to do this.
In fact, when the fleet sailed into the Straits of Johor, Ouyang Shuo already had the idea of a tiny country.
It is the star country.
Star Country is separated from the Strait of Johor in the north, adjacent to the country of Johor, and faces the country of Java in the south across the Strait of Sing Chau.
The Strait of Malacca, the sea channel connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, is the only way for Europe and Africa to sail eastward to Southeast Asia, the ports of East Asia and the shortest routes in Oceania.
The territory of Xingguo is less than the size of a county in China, and the total number of gamers is less than 400,000. It is a veritable tiny place.
It is such a small place, but it occupies such an important throat, how can it not be conspicuous? !
Even if the game map is expanded tenfold, the entire territory of Xingguo is only 7,000 square kilometers, which is not even up to the upper limit of 10,000 square kilometers for a third-level county.
If the area occupied by the only royal city in the Star Kingdom, the Lion City, and the scattered small islands around it are excluded, the actual usable territory of the wilderness is even smaller.
Therefore, there is currently only one second-level county in the entire Xingguo; the rest are five or six player villages scattered on the island. Other than that, there is no player territory.
The largest port in Xingzhou is Xingzhou Port, which is known as the number one port in Asia. The King City Lion City is located near Xingzhou Port, and it is a veritable strategic hub.
In order to avoid the Lion City, the second-level county named Fengshan County is located on the east coast of Xingguo. Lion City and Fengshan County are the only two cities in Xing Kingdom.
As for the player's guild, there is only one large guild named [Temasek Mercenary Corps] stationed in Lion City. The rest are either scattered adventure teams, or professional players with a leisurely life.
Even so, it is still not easy for Ouyang Shuo to conquer Xingguo.
Not to mention other things, the one hundred thousand combat professional adventure players are enough to drink a pot for the ocean-going fleet. Not to mention, the imperial guards stationed in the Lion City.
According to Gaia's settings, the total garrison in the royal city accounts for 10% of the total number of players in the country. If a country has more than one royal city, it will be distributed equally, and the total number will remain unchanged.
Therefore, with 100 million players in China, the total number of troops stationed in the nine royal cities is 10 million. On average, there are more than one million forbidden troops in a royal city.
Just like this, it is really difficult for the player lord to capture a royal city. One must know that the garrison in Wangcheng is all elite troops with excellent equipment.
After the emperor enters the royal city, the garrison of the royal city will automatically switch to the characteristic troops of the dynasty. For example, the current garrison in Xianyang City is the famous Great Qin Tiejun who made the enemy fearful.
And those who commanded this Great Qin Iron Army were such peerless generals as Wang Jian and Meng Tian.
Similarly, the garrison in Luoyang City is dominated by big Han cavalry.
Based on the total number of 400,000 players in Star Country, the Lion City garrison is around 40,000.
If the 40,000 forbidden troops were fighting on the mainland, Shanhai City would not be worried at all. They could easily overcome them with a random field army.
The problem is, what Ouyang Shuo is leading now is a combined fleet consisting of two formations.
In addition, Fengshan County is also a second-level county, and it is a second-level county that has been built to the apex. It is conservatively estimated that the territorial army will not be less than 5,000.
The 100,000 combat adventure players, the 40,000 Lion City garrison and the 5,000 Fengshan County army are the main military forces of Xingguo. To capture Lion City, these three forces must be wiped out one by one.
Yes, it is annihilation.
Without him, because this is a war of destroying the country, there is absolutely no possibility of surrender for either side.
The only thing that reassures Ouyang Shuo is that the Xingguo civilization belongs to the Greater China Circle, and its technology tree is based on the configuration of the Chinese technology tree, and there is no western strong ship or gun.
Otherwise, it's basically useless.
*************
On April 20, the ocean-going fleet aboard the Longshou.
The red horse boats sent out to investigate the terrain of the star country have returned one after another, bringing detailed information.
In the war room on the third floor of Longshou Building, four generals, Zheng He, Chen Dameng, Pei Donglai, and Firework Demon, stared at the map of the star country drawn by the intelligence officer and discussed the specific battle plan together.
Ouyang Shuo sat at the head, silent.
The attack on Star Country was not Ouyang Shuo's impromptu idea, it was an established strategy that he had already drawn up when he was still formulating the grand voyage plan. Zheng He had already known this plan in his mind.
The only ones who were surprised were the other three generals. Out of the need for confidentiality, the three of them only got the news when the fleet left the waters off the Nansha Islands.
The most shocking among the three was the pyrotechnic evildoer.
As the captain of the personal guard, Chen Dameng didn't think too much, his duty was to protect the safety of the prince. Pei Donglai is also an orthodox soldier, he only thinks about how to carry out the orders of the princes.
The pyrotechnic evildoer is different, he is a player with a wide field of vision. The pyrotechnic evildoer is too clear about the milestone significance of capturing Xingguo in the history of the rise of Shanhai City, especially in the hegemony of the sea.
He was once again deeply shocked by the ambition of the lord Ouyang Shuo.
It has to be said that the heart of the pyrotechnic evildoer is extremely hot at this time. He was very fortunate, fortunate that he had wisely chosen to integrate into Shanhai City, so he had the opportunity to participate in such a great cause.
One can imagine how crazy it will be once domestic players get the news. In reality, players in the Chinese region have a lot of criticisms about the star country guarding the Strait of Malacca.
The two countries are said to be friendly countries, but in fact there are constant frictions.
Once Shanhai City occupies Xingguo, domestic players can only applaud.
"The final general thinks that the key to this battle is to win the Lion City as soon as possible, and quickly." The firework monster stared at the map and continued: "It can be foreseen that if the war is delayed, the neighboring countries will definitely intervene. By then, The fleet caught in the siege of many countries can only retreat regretfully."
The firework monster spoke very frankly, pointing out without hesitation the possibility of failure in this battle.
When Chen Dameng heard this, he glared at the Yanhuo evildoer.
Naturally, the pyrotechnic evildoer would not argue with Chen Dameng, he turned his head to look at Ouyang Shuo, asking him to make a decision.
"Three days, we only have three days." Ouyang Shuo said.
As for how to capture the Star Country, Ouyang Shuo asked the Military Affairs Department to conduct a detailed simulation long before the fleet set off. The conclusion reached by the Operations Department of the Military Affairs Administration is that it should not exceed three days, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up the situation.
It's just that at that time, the Military Affairs Administration did not have detailed first-hand information and could not draw up a detailed combat plan.
Ouyang Shuo basically agrees with the judgment of the Military Affairs Administration. Several well-known multi-country scuffles in the previous life had long alerted him that the ASEAN was a hornet's nest, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be stabbed.
Therefore, a quick decision must be made.
"The enemy is only the Inhuman Legion, and there are hundreds of thousands of them. Even if they stand in line for us to kill, it will take a while to kill the boss. Three days, it is too hasty." Pei Donglai frowned.
"Therefore, the only way to win is by surprise." The firework demon suggested again, and suddenly took a step forward, pointing at Fengshan County on the east side of the map with the scabbard, "Lion City and Fengshan County, one is in the middle, and the other is in the east. Destroy the enemy The key is to attack the east and the west. The last general suggested that the fleet be divided into two, one light and one dark."
"One of them is responsible for attacking Fengshan County. It is foreseeable that once Fengshan County is attacked and the national war begins, the aliens from the enemy country will definitely not let it go, and will spontaneously rush to Fengshan County to support. From this, we can Use Fengshan County as a bait to annihilate the alien army of the enemy country."
The trick of the pyrotechnic evildoer made everyone's eyes shine.
"Continue talking." Ouyang Shuo remained calm.
"The other one, with a little camouflage, is temporarily hidden at sea. When the battle situation in Fengshan County falls into a stalemate, it will suddenly break out and directly attack Xingzhou Port to raid Lion City. When that time comes, the Lion City garrison will I'm afraid there are only 40,000 forbidden troops, so it will be relatively easier." The firework monster explained.
"The 40,000 forbidden army has a strong city to occupy. The strangers in the city will fight desperately. After the fleet is divided, can it easily take down the Lion City?" Pei Donglai still doesn't believe it. "Once the battle falls into a stalemate, the fleet after the division will , on the contrary, the enemy may take advantage of the teleportation array to divide and attack them, which is very inappropriate."
