Along the way south, Zhou Yu continued to adapt to his rapidly increasing abilities. He basically mastered all of his new abilities before passing Qiongzhou. As for the other generals, up to now, they can only be said to have mastered the legion's talents and distance excavation.
There is still a long way to go to reach the limit.
However, Zhou Yu is not a devil like Li You. Although his requirements for generals are relatively high, he really does not require them to develop the legion talents to the limit soon after developing the legion talents like himself.
"Huh, that's almost it." Zhou Yu breathed out. The integration of combat power under his command has reached a certain standard. By the way, from Zhou Yu's perspective, if naval warfare is the direction of development, this group of people includes
Not even Gan Ning was qualified.
I always feel that the development direction of this group of people is the Marine Corps, but the Marine Corps is just the Marine Corps. As long as they can fight, let's try the water depth in Kushan first.
All the way south along the coastline, Gan Ning, who was jumping around, gradually regained his composure, and his eyebrows became a little more solemn. The last time he was here, all the men who came out of Sichuan with him were killed, but this time he finally emerged from the river.
From north to south, we came back here again.
"Let's drop anchor. Let's pay homage to our brothers here before heading south." Gan Ning roughly estimated the direction and suggested to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was not dissatisfied with this at all. He fought for his country and died in a foreign country.
It's time to pay homage.
Soon, nearly a hundred large and small ships stopped in this area. Unlike the land battle, if the naval battle is defeated, it is very likely that nothing will be found.
It takes several years to build a navy from ships to people, but it may only take a quarter of an hour to destroy a navy, and compared to an army war, it may leave some wreckage, and a naval battle is likely to finish everything.
there is none left.
"Let's go, this time, I agreed, but I'm here to take revenge!" Gan Ning poured the wine into the ocean, and then poured the sacrifices into the ocean as well, with an extremely solemn look on his face.
"Don't worry, we will definitely not fail this time." Zhou Yu said slowly, "Maybe we won't win, but I can guarantee that we will never lose."
The place where the naval battle took place was actually not too far away from Malacca, and Zhou Yu had no intention of going directly to fight Kushan. If Gan Ning had not come to pay homage to the soldiers who died in the battle, Zhou Yu would actually prefer to dock first and make sure to dig.
The direction of the canal.
"Well, I don't plan to lose this time." Gan Ning looked at the super ships behind him. Although they were far inferior to real seventh-generation ships, they were already at the level of super giants in this era, and each one
The ships were also equipped with turrets.
"Let's go back to the shore first. We also need to build a camp here to counter the Kushan navy deployed at the southern transportation thoroughfare." Zhou Yu looked at the chart and asked someone to calculate the approximate distance between the two sides.
It's not too far, just over a hundred miles.
If it is by land, more than a hundred miles may be a distance that requires a top-level army to march forcefully, but if it is a naval army, then this distance is very close, and it is very possible to sail all the way over, with almost no loss of combat effectiveness of the own army.
"Well, first retreat to the north near where we plan to build the canal, and then make plans after confirming the overall situation of Kushan." Gan Ning nodded and said, he was not in a hurry. The Han army was fighting against Kushan in the water battle.
Gan Ning knew the gap better than others.
Not long after the Han army turned around and left, the Kushan Navy's reconnaissance ship passed by here, but it did not leave any traces on the sea. The Kushan Navy only patrolled on a routine basis and had no intention of conducting a careful investigation.
After the Han army retreated to the north and determined the place where they were going to build the canal, the Kushan navy in Malacca also received the news from Kushan.
Because of the chaotic management of India since ancient times, what Chuli did receive was not accurate information, but information from various angles.
"We need to make a summary here." Qiu Li indeed has a lot of power as a distant relative of the royal family, but looking at this pile of information, he does not dare to be arbitrary.
"I think those of you who are well-informed should have received the urgent report from the rear." Qiuli looked at the others with a huge head. Unlike the situation in the Han Dynasty where confidentiality could be forcibly kept, India has been in chaos since ancient times.
The management system cannot be kept secret at all.
Originally, it would not be difficult for Qiuli, who was far away overseas and thousands of miles away from the mainland, to block the news about the civil strife in Kushan. However, the management system here has been a mess since ancient times. Therefore, when Qiuli received the news,
, the main generals of the Kushan Navy also received it.
"Why don't we abandon this two-ocean passage and retreat back to cut off the retreat of the Han Dynasty first?" Ghazni frowned and said, "There is no point in us continuing to blockade this place. Our original plan was to find the spiritual relics.
, In fact, there is no news until now, and it is basically impossible to find it, and it doesn’t mean much here.”
"I think it's better to continue to guard here. Our opponent is the Han Dynasty after all. If we retreat now, the Han Dynasty may take over here. In this narrow water area, if they deploy super heavy weapons, they may even
It will be very difficult for us to take down the permanent ballistae." Zhu Jiasyapa said helplessly.
"Here we have successfully blocked the two-ocean channel, and the long-term foreign war has allowed us to build a lot of permanent fortifications on both sides of the north and south. If we abandon them at this time, everything we have invested before will be in vain.
What's more, we have not received your Majesty's emergency recall order." Churiche's deputy Lohit retorted with a cautious expression.
"We need to have confidence in His Majesty. Before His Majesty recruits us, we'd better not withdraw. By blocking this place, the Han army's offensive will lose a general direction, and the entire Indian Ocean will be our sphere of influence. As long as the Han army
If we can't get through, we will have the ability to impose sanctions first." Duruka shook his head and agreed with Lochte's suggestion.
"But we have always been here. What if the Han Dynasty does not come? It's not that we have never fought against the Han Dynasty's navy. Whether it was the first or the second time, even that large-scale pirate attack was just a fight.
They caught us off guard. In a real fight, the gap between them and us is too big. The Han army is not stupid." Waqas did not object directly, but changed his words to another way, but it was also very reasonable.
"The Han army will definitely come." Masinde suddenly said.
"Huh?" A group of people heard this and looked at Masinde involuntarily.
"The Han army has to come. Even if they can't defeat them, they still have to come, because if they don't come, with our scale and mobility, we can enter any battlefield and form an absolute advantage." Masinde sneered.
He said.
"Do you think the Han Dynasty will let a main force who can move around, have extremely strong mobility, and can determine the outcome of a large battlefield run around?" Seeing that others still couldn't understand, Masinde immediately crossed his arms and sneered, "So
Don't even think about withdrawing. According to the time we received the information and the time the Han Dynasty took the initiative, the opponent should have arrived by now."
Qiu Lique and others looked at each other in shock when they heard this, but if they thought about it carefully, they had to admit that what Masinde said was very reasonable. It was impossible for the Han Dynasty to allow a force that could determine the direction of the battlefield to appear randomly on any battlefield.
After all, grand strategies at the national war level often kill variables first.
"So don't think about withdrawing. Even if you want to withdraw, you must first kill the opponents coming from the Han army. I can guarantee that the Han army coming this time is not the kind of army with death aspirations that carry coffins to fight, but the kind that
The top generals, anyway, please be mentally prepared." Masinde said with a little sarcasm, "The Han Dynasty is not stupid, and we'd better not be stupid either!"
A group of people in the camp looked at Masinde and frowned. To be honest, Masinde used to be tougher than them. Even Chuli was not worthy of carrying shoes for Masinde back then, but now Masinde
De is just the deputy of a fleet, and he can only participate in the meeting because he can't be offended by anyone. He speaks so harshly, which inevitably makes these people feel a little disgraceful.
"Ahem, what Masinde said makes sense. Since the Han army has invested so much money, it will definitely not let us put it on the battlefield at will. In order to eliminate the impact of us withdrawing and taking action at will, then send an army
It is only natural that the navy comes to contain us." Although Qiuri Que was somewhat disgraced by Masinde's ridicule, he was still willing to accept the positive judgment.
"Isn't the war about what the other side doesn't want us to do, so we have to do it? Since the Han Dynasty doesn't want us to evacuate, shouldn't we evacuate directly?" Ghazni did not have the habit of coddling Masinde.
, you were great back then, but now you are not what you were then.
"Ha, you are stupid, try it!" Masinde folded his arms and sneered, "Once this place is opened, where do you think the other party should step in after taking over? If it were me, I would definitely install it on a boat as soon as possible.
Throw the strongest elite army directly into the hinterland of Kushan! You are stupid, but you still don’t believe it. If you abandon this place, the Indian Ocean will not only belong to us!”
Ghazni was half-dead with anger, but suddenly realized that their group of people did have the ability to decide a war, but instead of using the navy to control the Han army's troop transport, they used the combat effectiveness of the Han infantry to directly send elite legions to Kushan.
In the hinterland, it is very possible to stab Guishang half to death.
"So, this place must be defended?" Qiu Li said with a raised eyebrow.
"That's not to say that after defeating this wave of Han troops, taking advantage of the situation to push back the Han Dynasty along the coast, harassing the Han Dynasty with bandit sweeps, and destroying the shipyard, it won't matter here." Masinde said with a little ridicule.
