Chapter 62 Configuring Sand Tables for Battleships
On the river, which is less than two hundred miles away from the estuary, the fleet led by Kang Long is heading downstream under the command of Zhu Yuanlang.
On the front warship, now named Blood Wolf, Kang Long and others sat in front of a large strange square table in the cabin. This square table, which is four meters long and two meters wide, is almost
Takes up a quarter of the space in the entire cabin.
Except for Kang Long, everyone in the cabin stared at the big table in front of him in a daze. The reason why this table made everyone stare so wide was because of the things placed on the table.
On this table is a sand tray from the Jianghuai region made of specially made clay and sand. This sand tray almost covers the entire Huai River Basin and the Dajiang River Basin.
Between these two major river basins, the mountains, rivers, valleys, and fortresses are all clearly marked, and there are specially made models of simulated cities, hills, rivers, etc. This huge table is covered with wooden boards on all sides.
Prevent any objects on the sand table from shaking or collision during the boat.
Li Cunba's face was filled with shock. He never dared to imagine that there was such a magical military map in this world. He was a veteran on the battlefield, so he could naturally see the preciousness of this sand table.
For the commander of the three armies, if you want to win a battle, you not only need excellent soldiers, brave generals, and wise and tricky strategists. Compared with these, the commander of the three armies needs more detailed maps of the combat areas.
The map of every road, every river, and every valley can be displayed. The more detailed and realistic the map.
For thousands of years, military geniuses on the land of China have racked their brains to think about how to make a detailed map and treasure it, and as a secret weapon, it plays an extraordinary role at critical moments.
For various reasons, the map drawn in the end has a very large deviation from reality and is not very practical.
Only those with outstanding memory have traveled all over the continent and remembered all these things firmly in their minds. When they use them, they can directly remember every part of the things with their super memory, but,
Many details may not be remembered.
Li Cunba suddenly felt that he was still too underestimating the young man in front of him. Since he was following him for a while, Li Cunba suddenly felt that he was really old.
However, although he felt that standing in front of Kang Long, he seemed to be too old to be useless, his face was getting younger day by day. Although this change was slow, he could feel it.
Kang Long did not break his promise. Along the way, he not only purchased a large amount of supplies for the Blood Wolf Army, but also bought all the medicines for him that were said to be called Rejuvenation Pill, and it has been prepared. He is now every day
When taking it, the effect of the medicine is really not boastful. Li Cunba could clearly feel that his physical functions were changing towards a young age.
Kang Long smiled and pointed to the sand table and said to everyone: "Brothers, I call this sand table. This sand table shows the terrain, landform, and important town distribution of the vast river basin areas of the Jianghuai River. Of course, the map shows
I collected these information from some channels, and it is absolutely true. Don’t be idle anymore. Come and see if there is any place on the sand table that needs to be supplemented. I also rely on my memory and my previous reading.
The records in the books I have passed have barely been made. Many places are not perfect, or as the ancient saying goes, the world has changed. Perhaps some places on this sandbank mountain have disappeared, and another place has become a vast ocean.
Maybe you all take a closer look.”
"The lord is really a god!" Li Cunba, a rude man from the army, suddenly said such an inappropriate and literary word, which was really funny, but his words expressed the thoughts of everyone.
When he showed this thing in front of everyone, everyone could not think of a more appropriate word to express their inner shock except this sentence.
Ma Benlei is better. After all, he had seen this thing when he was in Huangze Pass. However, the sand table placed in the strategic department of the Military Control Commission of Huangze Pass was very simple and not as exquisite as the sand table in front of him.
.
Horse Ben Lei was surrounded by the sand table with great interest, pointing here from time to time and asking where.
Yuanhua, the descendant of presbyterian, suddenly took his eyes back from Shapanshan and raised his thumb and said, "My nephew does have hills and valleys in his chest. I have traveled to the north for more than 40 years, but where have I not been there? The thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Jianghuai River
, I have walked through many times in Presbyterian, but my nephew's sand table is really realistic. Looking at the mountains and rivers on the sand table, Presbyterian was like returning to the past when I walked through these places, the marked these on the sand table.
, there is no need to modify it, this is the map closest to reality."
Since even the presbyterian Yuanhua, who has always been knowledgeable, said this, everyone naturally believed it. Kang Long walked to the mouth of the river at the easternmost end of the sand table, which was about several feet away from the mouth of the sea on this map.
The place was said to everyone: "This is probably our current location. If we go down about 200 miles, we can reach Shazhou Island. Yuen Long, have the scout ship disguised as a merchant ship sent out?"
Zhu Yuanlang was also fascinated by the sand table in front of him. His eyes followed Kang Long's fingers and looked all the way. His right arm was now wrapped in a strange white thing and fixed on his chest. This was naturally Kang
Long's masterpiece. He now feels that his right arm is no longer as painful as before, which makes him feel entangled. He doesn't even need to endure the pain deliberately and force his face to smile. He heard from Kang Long that he uses the ointment he made to fix it.
In about half a year, the broken bones in the arms will slowly heal together. After the bones are almost the same, Kang Long is taking action to perform bone surgery on him, so that his arm will be able to be intact for one day.
.
Zhu Yuanlang is now sincerely impressed by Kang Long and has regarded himself as a member of the Blood Wolf Army. At this time, when he heard Kang Long ask him, he quickly replied: "Lord, the scout ship has been sent out, but the news is
I'm afraid it won't be sent back until evening."
Kang Long nodded, pointed a long wooden stick at Shazhou Island and said to everyone: "Brothers, I think this Shazhou Island will never be like the rumors outside, but there are some uncivilized living
The savages, the three major bandits in the East China Sea, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp? How could they not know the important role of Shazhou Island? Occupying this place is equivalent to pinching the sea business road. I think Shazhou Island must be now in
There are soldiers and horses, but they are just one side of the army. It may be the official army or the three major bandits in the East China Sea. Although we don’t know their target, it is not difficult to guess. If I occupy this place
, I will also build this place into a sea-based supply point and send a large number of elite navy soldiers to guard it. In this way, it will block the roads from the sea north of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue, Dong Min, and even the Southern Han Dynasty.
, and also blocked the inland business roads. No matter who wants to transport supplies from sea or from inland to overseas, they must pay a large amount of tolls to them. This is a huge profit."
Kang Long said, turning his head to Li Cunba and asked casually: "Old Li, have you heard any new news when I asked you to send someone to inquire in the afternoon?"
Li Cunba said with a little depressed feeling: "Now I finally understand why the lord can easily defeat the Hedong Army. The lord must first explore the enemy's situation in detail and collect various effective information about the enemy. Lord, you
The subordinates just took over the matter they asked about. As expected, the Southern Tang Dynasty court was not idle, and actually came up with a poisonous plan to kill people with a knife to get rid of us!"
"What's going on?" Kang Long frowned. He didn't want to hear any bad news at this moment.
Li Cunbadao: "I heard that a few days ago, the Southern Tang people had sent someone to secretly contact the East China Sea Blood Wolf Kou Grandmaster Master Li Yi. I feel that the next person we are about to meet is probably
"Lord, should we change the name of our Blood Wolf Army? There are a bandits in the East China Sea that have been rampant for many years. Their name is Blood Wolf Army, but we are called Blood Wolf Army. Do you want it?
Just change it?"
Kang Long sneered and said disdainfully: "Why do you need to change it? Do you think the Blood Wolf Army is not good? Isn't it powerful enough? So what about the Blood Wolf Bandit? How many years will it take, I want everyone in the world to know that there are only Blood Wolf in this world.
Army, there are no blood wolf bandits!"
Li Cunba laughed and said, "The lord is indeed very proud, but his subordinates are not happy enough. However, this blood wolf bandit is really an amazing sea bandit. If the lord can take them to his own use, our strength
Will grow even stronger.”
Kang Long smiled unanimously, then cheered up and fisted, "It's too early to say these things now. OK. After everyone memorized the terrain on the sand table, they ordered all the warships to speed up.
We will strive to arrive at Shazhou Island as soon as possible and build it into my Blood Wolf Army's home!"
