Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 602 The Red Sea, the naval battle between the two empires!

Just when the land battle started, the Red Sea, the place where the Roman Empire rushed to aid the Ten-Nation Alliance from the sea, the navy of the Roman Empire, a full ten legions, and an army of 12, drove their sailboats mightily, towards Heading to the south sea area.

Their purpose was to raid the Han warships cruising in the Red Sea.

Little did they know that the news had already reached Lu Su's desk as soon as they set sail.

"Everyone, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has arrived."

Lu Su looked around at the generals present, "This battle is about the sea control between our Han Empire and the Roman Empire."

"If we win this battle, our army will be invincible across the sea from now on."

"If you lose..."

"The rear of the ten-nation coalition will no longer be threatened by us."

"Even the Persian Gulf on the flank of the Parthian Empire that we just conquered will be threatened by enemy forces."

"So in this battle, we must go all out."

"The order."

"Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are the vanguard, commanding five hundred dragon warships to lure the enemy first."

"I obey." Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai looked at each other, got up and bowed to Lu Su, and immediately took the military order and left.

"I have 20 sailors and more than 2000 warships."

"The five hundred flood dragon warships are already a quarter of our main force."

"Xu Sheng, Dong Xi."

"exist."

"After the warships engage in battle, order Er and others to immediately command the Zheng He treasure ship in the middle, and cooperate with Governor Yu Dayou to destroy the enemy warships together."

"Here."

"Zheng Chenggong, Zhu Ran, Zhu Ji."

"The end is here."

"The three of you, follow the captain and lead the [-] dragon warships of the headquarters to press the battle."

"Here."

"In addition, the remaining [-] dragon warships will be handed over to the two generals He Qi and Ding Feng. You will be responsible for sweeping all the enemy's crossings on both sides of the Red Sea."

"Here."

After giving the order, Lu Su came to the deck, "The Red Sea is narrow, but this is the only way we can enter the Mediterranean Sea."

"If we can control the Red Sea, we can capture the territory of the Allied Forces of Ten Nations, and we can also invade the Black State, wipe out those barbarian tribes, capture the slaves of their tribes, build roads for us, build ports, and move food and grass."

"Everyone, it's Beifeng now."

"Let's set sail directly, and as soon as we go up, we will fight the enemy head-on."

"Here."

"Dong dong dong..."

A war drum sounded, and more than 2000 warships sailed upstream along the surface of the Red Sea.

"Governor, two hundred nautical miles ahead, we found enemy ships, the main battleships, more than [-] warships, flying the battle flags of the Roman Empire, as well as the battle flags of the Yi Kingdom Navy on both sides of the Red Sea."

"understood."

Lu Su stroked his beard with one hand, "It came so fast, knowing that our navy and warships are powerful, but still dare to take the initiative to fight, there must be some conspiracy."

"Order the former army navy warship to stop on the spot and move with the waves, and not to march further north."

"Here."

"Om..."

After the sound of the horn, it stretched for tens of miles, and in an instant, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, who rushed to the front, received the summons.

"Why don't you attack?"

"What is the governor doing?"

The two looked at each other with suspicion.

But immediately, the sentinel ship in front suddenly called the flag.

"Report..."

"Report to the two generals, the forward sentry ship found a lot of wooden barrels floating down the ocean current."

"Barrel!"

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai looked at each other, and immediately remembered the battle of Jingnan. Huang Gai led the army to walk by water, and Zhuge Liang used iron chains to connect the river with wooden barrels of kerosene. clean.

"Quick, immediately warn the Chinese army. In addition, our navy warships retreat immediately."

"Spread out and maintain the attacking formation, but don't let the barrels get close to us."

After they issued the order, Lu Su of the Chinese Army received the report soon.

"Your Majesty said that the peninsula near the Red Sea has a lot of fire oil, so I vaguely guessed that the fire attack on the western mainland was mostly based on this fire oil, but I didn't expect that they would also use wooden barrels floating on the water to burn The means of thousands of miles."

Pang Tongtong stroked his beard with his hands, "Order to evacuate all wooden boats from the Red Sea."

"Captain?"

Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong, who was standing nearby, changed his face, "In this way, wouldn't our army miss the opportunity to cut off the Red Sea channel for a long time, and kill all the Roman Empire's navy?"

"Zheng He has already led the navy and marched from the New World to the Atlantic Ocean. Our place is not only the main battlefield, but it is not the main battlefield."

Lu Su stroked his beard with one hand, "What's more, the enemy army used the wooden barrel drifting method to launch a fire attack. Don't we big men have no warships that can resist the burning fire?"

For a moment, Zheng Chenggong's eyes lit up.

"What do you mean, Commander-in-Chief?"

"Five ironclad ships with a displacement of [-] tons are already heading towards the Red Sea."

"Calculate the time, within a month, we will definitely arrive."

"You said, how about making the enemy happy for a while?"

"The governor has a clever plan, but our army can't just float on the sea like this."

"Of course not."

"The order is that after the former army withdraws from the Red Sea, it will immediately launch an attack on the four southern countries near the sea, namely Himuyer, Kataban, Hadramaut, and Miska."

"Within one month, before the arrival of our ironclad ships, capture these four countries, let them taste the pain of destroying the country, and let them know that the navy of our Han Empire is definitely not easy to provoke."

Zheng Chenggong stroked his beard with one hand, "Then what about the wooden barrel floating on the surface of the Red Sea at this moment?"

"The former army has sent a message that those guys tied wooden barrels with wooden boards and ropes, and they would not be washed to both sides of the Red Sea by ocean currents. We retreat south this time, why not create an illusion for them, and directly send fireboats to take these wooden barrels away. lit."

"Of course it's good to light it up." Lu Su stroked his beard with one hand, "Let's leave it to General Zheng to do it now."

"Here." Zheng Chenggong looked happy and left happily.

"Governor, even if the wooden barrels are burned, they will make more wooden barrels. I heard from your majesty that the fire oil on this peninsula is inexhaustible." Zhu Ran couldn't help but said.

"General Zhu Ran, don't worry."

"The wait is to give them time to prepare new casks."

"Let them feel that there is nothing we can do except to burn the Red Sea and vent."

"Otherwise, how can we give the armored ship a chance to make a surprise attack?"

"However, there is one thing. We must take this opportunity to clarify the Red Sea's waterways, currents, and hidden reefs. Although iron-clad ships are not afraid of fierce fire, they are afraid of running aground."

"Here."
