Along the way south, Zhou Yu continued to adapt to his rapidly increasing abilities. He basically mastered all 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. But 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 his subordinates' combat power has reached a certain standard. By the way, from Zhou Yu's point of view, 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 of 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, and this time he finally emerged from the river. From north to south, 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, there may be some wreckage left behind, and a naval war 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 same, his face looked extremely solemn. "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 also He didn't plan to fight directly with Guishang. If Gan Ning hadn't come over first to pay homage to the soldiers who died in the battle, Zhou Yu would have preferred to dock first to determine the location of the canal to be dug. "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 are 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 measure the approximate distance between the two sides. It's not too far, just over a hundred miles. If it is on land, more than a hundred miles may be a distance that requires the top legion 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 legion. "Well, first retreat to the north near where we plan to build the canal, and then make plans after confirming the overall situation of Guishang." Gan Ning nodded and said, he was not in a hurry. The Han army was fighting against Guishan 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 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 withdraw, first cut off the retreat of the Han Dynasty." Ghazni frowned and said, "There is no point in us continuing to blockade this place. It turns out?Our plan is to find the spiritual relics. In fact, there is no news until now, and it is basically impossible to find them. Here, it is not of great significance. " "I think it is 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, It will be very difficult for us to take down even the permanent ballistae. "Zhu Jiayebo 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 has been in vain, not to mention that we have not received an emergency recall order from His Majesty. "Lohit, Qiuri Que's deputy, retorted with a cautious look. "We need to have confidence in His Majesty. Before His Majesty recruits us, we'd better not withdraw. If we block this place, the Han army's offensive will be less powerful. direction, and the entire Indian Ocean will be our sphere of influence. As long as the Han army cannot get through, we will have the ability to impose sanctions first. "Duluka shook his head and agreed with Lochte's suggestion. "But we have been here all the time. What if the Han Dynasty doesn't come? It¡¯s not like we haven¡¯t fought against the navy of the Han Dynasty before, whether it was the first time or the second time. Even that large-scale pirate attack only caught us off guard. In the real fight, the gap between them and us is too big. Yes, the Han army is not stupid. "Vacas did not object directly. Instead, he changed his explanation, but it was also very reasonable. "The Han army will definitely come. " Masinde suddenly said. "Huh? "When a group of people heard this, they looked at Masinde involuntarily. "The Han army has to come. Even if they can't defeat it, they still have to come, because if they don't come, with our scale and mobility, we can invest On any battlefield, it is enough to form an absolute advantage. "Masinde said with a sneer. "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 think about withdrawing. According to the time we received the intelligence and the time the Han Dynasty took the initiative, the opponent should have arrived by now." " Qiuli Que 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 randomly appear on any battlefield. " After all, the country A war-level grand strategy often kills variables first. ¡°So don¡¯t think about withdrawing. Even if you want to withdraw, you must first kill the opponents from the Han army. I can guarantee that the Han Dynasty will come. Either the coffin-carrying army with a death wish or 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 Masinde's shoes back then, but now Ma Xinde 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 ashamed. "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, it is natural to send a navy to contain us. "Although Qiuri Que was somewhat disgraced by Masinde's ridicule, he was still willing to accept the positive judgment. "Isn't it true that in war, what the other side doesn't want us to do, we have to do it? Since the Han Dynasty doesn't want us to evacuate, shouldn't we just evacuate? "Ghaszini is not in the habit of being used to Masinde. You were powerful back then, but you are not like that now. "Ha, you are stupid, try it! Masinde crossed his arms and said with a sneer, "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 load up the strongest elite legion on a ship as soon as possible and throw them directly into the hinterland of Kushan! You are stupid, but you still don¡¯t believe it. If you give up here, the Indian Ocean will not only be ours! " 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 the nobles. In the hinterland of frost, it is very likely that Guishang will be stabbed to death. "So, we must defend this place?" "Qiu Li indeed raised his eyebrows and said. "That's not the case. After defeating this wave of Han troops, taking advantage of the situation to push back the Han Dynasty's coast, harassing the Han Dynasty with bandit sweeps, and destroying the shipyard, this??It doesn't matter. Masinde said with a little sarcasm.
