Chapter 919(1/2)
Mengkangbu won a big victory, and he didn't dare to neglect it when he returned to Kushan. On the surface, he won, but in fact he was on the verge of death.
And he is not a fool. The ragtag group opposite him can be seen as pirates at a glance, and they are far inferior to the regular army under his command.
If he despised the Han Dynasty so much, he would be mentally retarded.
"Aruno, send the news back. We have already taken action. Then don't take any chances. Both of us are destined to be unable to back down!"
After Mengkangbu finished writing a letter, he handed it to his deputy, and then sat on the bow of the boat to fish. This was a way for him to practice his visualization of the Immovable King, and it was the best way for him to practice.
At the critical moment of life and death, the bottleneck was loosened, finally allowing him to see the opportunity to become a god and a Buddha.
For such a famous god and Buddha, breaking the boundary is the threshold for becoming a god and Buddha, and it is far from being comparable to the inner energy leaving the body.
Taking that step is very important. There is a big gap between gods and Buddhas and inner energy leaving the body. He is very eager to become a god and Buddha.
For him, the improvement of combat effectiveness after becoming a god and Buddha is secondary. The blessing of the gods and Buddhas is the key point. For someone like him who takes the road of commander, this step is crucial.
But Mengcomb never expected that there are people in this world who do things without thinking.
After Mengkangbu finished his work, he still had to explain why the fight started, and then waited for subsequent orders. During this process, everyone just maintained the status quo in a tacit understanding.
But Mengkangbu had missed Sun Ce's IQ. As the nominal coach of the first branch, Sun Ce never used his brain. Even if he used it, it was to "intrigue" with his own external brain.
So much so that Meng Kangbu still had to wait for follow-up arrangements, but Sun Ce didn't need to wait at all.
Gan Ning made a report, he approved the note, and directly led the army to do it.
"Urgent report!"
While Mengkangbu was practicing quietly, the shrill shouts of the messengers directly caused Mengkangbu to break his defense.
Slowly opening his eyes, Mengkangbu looked at the messenger in front of him with great dissatisfaction.
In this sea area, there were enemy attacks from them and the Han Dynasty.
It couldn't be that the Han Dynasty came over, and even if it was the Han Dynasty, they had a huge advantage in the water fortifications they had built for so long, so why should they be so panicked?
"What happened? Why are you so panicked?" Meng Combo asked calmly, holding a fishing rod.
"Report to the general, the Han army is coming. Judging from the number, it is suspected to be the main force!" Mengkangbu was stunned by the words of the messenger.
After he reacted, he threw the fishing rod in his hand, dodged and flew towards the front line.
At this time, Hammer still needs to calm down.
After arriving, Mengkangbu saw the Han fleet in the distance from a high altitude. The messenger did not lie to him. It was really the main force of the Han army.
The navy is different from other branches of the military. The strength of your soldiers can be disguised, but the size of your ships cannot be disguised. Such a vast scale must be the main fleet.
Just as he was rushing towards the main ship, dozens of small dots flew towards him, or towards the water village fleet.
After taking a closer look, I found that there were dozens of arrows, not the type of crossbows.
Mengcombe was stunned for a moment, and then ignored it. Whether it was a bed crossbow or not, it wouldn't matter if it hit the ship. If the unlucky guy was really shot to death, it would be a miserable life.
Just as he expected, dozens of arrows fell on the fleet, killing one unlucky guy without causing any other effects.
Just when he was still thinking about what the Han Dynasty was doing, he suddenly realized what he was doing.
The combat mode of this thing is exactly the same as that of the Peacock, it is a beyond visual range strike.
On the other side of the Han Dynasty's long-range troops, the veterans of the Shesheng Battalion looked at the ballistics derived from the secret technique of light and shadow, selected a few best ballistics and began to cover the shots.
There are not many things in Jiangdong except for archers, so Sun Ce easily raised a group of archers as an auxiliary long-range army.
The core of Zheng'er Ba Jing is the 800 veterans of the Shesheng Battalion under his command. They are also a group of veterans of the Shesheng Battalion that Zhou Yu worked hard to get from the central government. The total amount they got was just over a thousand, and most of them were given to Sun Ce.
The main reason is that with the self-circulation system, archers are of little significance to Zhou Yu, but they are of great use to Sun Ce and Gan Ning.
With the Shengsheng Battalion taking the lead, and Jiangdong's archers as auxiliary shooters, the locust-like rain of arrows covered Meng Kangbu's fleet.
When he reacted, Moncomb was shouting; "Everyone enter the cabin to avoid the arrows!"
After Moncomb realized that the opponent was attacking beyond visual range, he instantly understood the opponent's plan.
The original beyond-visual-range strike was deliberately shortened, so it is self-evident for what purpose.
"Raise collective ship defense, quick, quick, quick!"
Mengcombe reacted quickly, but the soldiers were a little too late after all.
The several unactivated ships that were covered were baptized by arrows in just an instant, and any soldiers standing on the deck who failed to enter the cabin were killed.
Even if the collective defense of the fleet was activated, it could not prevent this scene from happening.
Mengkangbu took a deep breath, without getting angry or regretful, and quickly ordered the Kushan soldiers to board the ship to fight.
He knew that this was just an appetizer. The purpose of the Han army's trip was definitely not to kill hundreds of people. The enemy came to attack the water stronghold.
"Meng Kangbu, wash your neck and wait for death. This is the price for provoking me!"
Like a god and demon, Gan Ning appeared in mid-air with the appearance of a hundred-foot giant. His every move seemed to carry the power of God, and his words swept towards the Kushan fleet with the sound of thunder.
That kind of arrogant momentum, that kind of huge appearance like a god and a demon, instantly defeated the minds of many low-caste people.
"Death!" Meng Kangbu was surprisingly angry. He could tell at a glance that Gan Ning's appearance was fake. Gan Ning had no such ability at all.
He reported the news with his hand and roared, mobilizing the cloud energy and slashing towards Gan Ning's huge figure.
The huge legion's attack penetrated Gan Ning's body, and Meng Kangbu's face turned dark by three points in an instant. He actually used a mirage projection.
But he had to admit that this thing was indeed effective. Although the Brahmins had fallen, the impression still existed and was deeply rooted. It could not be eradicated overnight.
And from a national perspective, maintaining this state will be more beneficial to Kushan.
However, the shortcomings of the religious caste system are also clearly exposed, and there is almost no resistance in the face of this mysterious method.
Just a mirage, coupled with a wave of ordinary arrows washing the ground, caused many low castes to lose their will to fight.
You must know that these lower castes who have lost morale will infect this state to other lower castes.
In fact, the arrow rain attack did not bring any fatal blow. There were not many people on the decks of the several ships that were covered, and most of them jumped directly into the sea. The only ones who really died were some new recruits, and the total was not even three or five.
Hundred.
But this wave of momentum blows actually destroyed the morale of nearly two to three thousand low-caste people. This time, without even fighting, he was equivalent to destroying three to five large ships.
"General Han, don't be too proud!"
Mengcomb was so angry that he had no choice but to use the same method to project his own image in the air like a mirage.
Then he mobilized the cloud energy and launched a huge cloud attack towards the Han Dynasty fleet in the distance to boost morale.
But in the next moment, Mengcomb realized something was wrong, and dived into the water without hesitation.
Sure enough, more than three hundred arrows chased him as if they had eyes.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and avoided this fatal wave of decapitation blows.
"We can't go on like this with the Han Dynasty. They are completely led by the nose. I have to disrupt their rhythm!" Meng Kangbu emerged from the bottom of the water with a gloomy expression.
Being plotted one after another, even he was already furious.
The other party is not a strategy at all, but a purely provocative way. He must reverse this situation.
"The first column, the second column, go out to attack, crossbows and naval guns are ready to fire indiscriminately, forcing the opponent's position!"
Mengcombu directly gave up his plan to restore morale through means and chose to directly attack the Han Dynasty. Nothing can boost morale more than seeing real losses.
He was also forced to have no choice but to fire indiscriminately. It was a war with money, and it was an extremely wasteful way of fighting.
However, we don't care about that much at this time. The most important thing is to regain the disadvantage quickly. When the water stronghold is lost, leaving so many supplies will become an enemy.
"Took the bait!" Gan Ning looked at Meng Kangbu who came out to meet the enemy, with a sneer on his lips.
I really thought that Gan Xingba was a soft persimmon, but he was a maritime governor with both civil and military skills.
"Bombard with naval guns, attack indiscriminately, attract all the opponent's attention!" Gan Ning ordered loudly.
The plank road was built in the open and crossed to Chencang secretly.
He is also a man who has seriously studied the art of war.
On the other side, Sun Ce, who came ashore, directly ordered all the boats to be smashed.
Just like what Kang Mengbo said, the fleet usually cannot hide its strength, because if you want the ship to maintain normal combat power, the necessary manpower cannot be withdrawn, and a reserve team must be added.
Otherwise, it will collapse soon after the war begins. Replenishing defense at sea will be much more difficult than on land, at least Gan Ning cannot do that level.
Therefore, Gan Ning directly led the Han fleet, while Sun Ce led the natives in Australia.
After Australia surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty provided humanitarian assistance to Australia, and began to plot against Australia with the Australian indigenous people as the core. After all, the iron ore in that thing was so fragrant, who wouldn't want to
Want this thing.
And what Sun Ce leads is the indigenous people drawn from Australia. They are all highly trained and their basic quality is terrible.
Of course, these are just support for fighting. After all, there is only one elite talent, so you won’t suffer too much when fighting. The overall strength is just a two-talent army.
The core of Sun Ce's true reliance is his personal guard, the special version of the Army Gods that he obtained after holding Han Xin's thigh, bribing Bai Qi, and fighting with Huo Qubing.
Han Xin was so annoyed by Sun Ce that he had to pull out Xiang Yu's soldiers in his memory and throw them to Sun Ce. After Sun Ce got the pride of the legendary Overlord's bodyguards and Jiangdong's soldiers, he immediately left in harmony.
He calls himself the Little Overlord of Jiangdong, and this thing is simply not to his liking.
