The southeast battlefield, which had been stable for more than a year, exploded on the spot as the Kra Canal emerged from the rainforest, like pouring a spoonful of water into a boiling oil pan.
"We've passed Yizhou, let's get here." Zhou Yu stood at the bow of the ship, looking at Yizhou that had disappeared from the horizon, and issued orders to the warships.
"Why did you stop here?" Gan Ning jumped over from another warship and looked at Zhou Yu strangely and asked, "Further north is the East China Sea."
"Because it was impossible for the two sides to fight in the East China Sea from the beginning." Zhou Yu said calmly, "The so-called declaration of war said it was the East China Sea, mostly to make Selian feel that he can regain his youth."
"But if we stop here, the other side won't fight us. We can just turn around and leave." Gan Ning frowned and said.
"Yes, it is true in theory. What's more, the Kra Canal should be exposed soon. Masinde must send people to inform Selian at all costs." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Based on what I think of Kushan.
Based on our understanding, probably at our current location, the warships sent by Masinde should catch up with Selian's fortress."
Gan Ning was stunned and looked at Zhou Yu with a puzzled expression.
"The warships and manpower of Donghai Shipyard and Jiangnan Shipyard are on nearby islands. Go and receive them. The wind direction will change in a few days at most." Zhou Yu said calmly.
"Is this the battlefield you have been planning?" Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu and asked.
"Yes, I have been sending things to the Central Plains this year. In addition to making money, the rest is studying the hydrological data here and the layout of the islands here." Zhou Yu nodded, and all the conditions were the same except for the people.
With the precursor, it is basically impossible for Zhou Yu to defeat Selian.
Relying on the right time and place is itself the most basic manifestation of a famous general.
"I understand." Gan Ning nodded, he already understood what Zhou Yu planned to do.
"If you understand, then go to various islands to take over the fleet, and then wait there." Zhou Yu exhaled and said.
"How to solve the problem of self-circulation?" Gan Ning suddenly turned around and asked before leaving.
"Essentially, it is just a larger-scale act of deriving will and mobilizing the essence of heaven and earth. There are many things in this world, as long as you understand the essence, you will have your own solution." Zhou Yu said easily, "Let others prepare.
Bar."
When Gan Ning heard this, he bowed respectfully to Zhou Yu. He knew that this time, one of them and Zhou Yu would definitely die. No matter how lightly he said it before, when he really put it into practice, Gan Ning understood that this was definitely not like what Zhou Yu had said before.
Said so easily.
"Just leave me in command here. One hundred and twelve warships are enough." Zhou Yu glanced at Gan Ning and signaled Gan Ning to organize other personnel to board the island and change ships.
"I will not lose to an old man." Zhou Yu exhaled and silently waited for the captains of each department to disembark and go to each island to change ships.
If the East China Sea was used as the battlefield, Zhou Yu would never be able to find so many islands suitable for ambushes and easy to hide, but the east of Yizhou happened to be very suitable.
What's more, when we get to this location, with Masinde's swiftness, we should have passed on the information about the Kra Canal. But when we get to this place, it's not up to Selian.
The process of changing ships took two days, and then Zhou Yu led Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others to the north slowly, while Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Gan Ning, Ling Cao, Xu Sheng and others were ambushing the islands here.
, waiting for Selian’s return.
The sailing ship is not moving very fast. After all, there is a fortress as the core, which seriously slows down the overall speed. In addition, the sailing ship itself is not in very good condition. Naturally, the speed of this journey cannot be increased.
.
"Mengcombe, how are you learning?" Sailian said a little tired due to the bumps, "You have almost learned the techniques and tactics, what is missing is the self-circulating system."
"I have already finished learning the techniques and tactics. I am just creating more suitable applications according to your requirements. You always don't let me try the self-circulating system. How can I guarantee that I have learned it myself." Mengkang Bupo
He said somewhat helplessly.
"Basic knowledge is the most important, and those techniques and tactics are the most important. It is self-circulating. It doesn't matter whether you learn it or not." Sailian said with some emotion.
"But at this time, I can also tell you some ideas about naval battles. Speaking of which, you may not believe it. As the creator of self-circulation, when I was on the verge of my end, I realized that this path was wrong.
." Sailian said to Moncomb with sadness.
"Huh?" Moncomb looked at Selian in disbelief and said.
"When I created the self-circulation, the essence of heaven and earth was not so high." Sailian said with nostalgia, "Even if the essence of heaven and earth is activated, it is only a way to strengthen people and warships, not the ultimate goal.
Important combat power, the core of any system should be people, and in the self-circulation, people are just spare parts."
"This is putting the cart before the horse." Sailian said with disappointment, "This path is wrong, but I have no chance to correct it. The higher the essence of heaven and earth, the greater the shortcomings of this path. Of course, if the essence of heaven and earth is
If the concentration of the gas is higher, this road can still shine with its final glory before it is finished. The combination of the cloud solidification road and the group's defensive style is enough to lead to the sky."
If you can fly into the sky, then until the essence of heaven and earth is further enhanced, the path of self-circulation will still have considerable combat effectiveness, but it is a pity that we cannot wait until that time.
"Is it wrong?" Meng Combo moved his mouth, but in the end he did not refute. For some reason, he felt that this path was not correct before.
"It seems that you have also discovered it." Sailian smiled and said, "Your qualifications are very good, but you lack something. I was the one who fought with you in Cabe Bay. Please recall, why did you
I can hold on until the end.”
"Sometimes, people don't need a way back. Even if there is no way forward, don't go back. It may not be correct to break through the front, but going back is definitely wrong." Selian was like a man at this time.
Like a gentle old man, he has no dignity at all.
Moncomb looked at Selian strangely. He didn't know if it was his misunderstanding or what was going on. He always felt that Selian was asking for help.
"Yes, I am just giving my last words." Selian nodded as if he could see through Meng Combo's thoughts at a glance, "I don't know why, even though the blue sea is calm, I feel an inexplicable sense of imminent death.
danger."
"How about we turn around?" Meng Kangbu looked around and suddenly said. At this time, they had passed Yizhou and were heading towards the so-called East China Sea. If they go further, Selian will return to his youth.
.
Of course, Zhou Yu was really less than half a day away from Selian at this time. In fact, not long after passing Yizhou, Zhou Yu stopped the ship and was waiting.
"No, I want to see what that boy Zhou Yu is playing." Sailian said confidently. As an invincible fighter in the world, at this level, he would never turn around and go back. To be precise, if it weren't for the sake of trying
If Zhou Yu is taken away before death, he will not attack at all.
If it weren't for this idea, Selian would have just stayed in Malacca and waited for death. Why would he accept Zhou Yu's invitation to fight and risk thousands of miles back and forth to fight Zhou Yu in the East China Sea?
You have to know that at Salian's level, even if this battle goes smoothly, Salian's life will be shortened after the fight. What's more, if the battle with Zhou Yu goes smoothly, it will be damned.
"Let's go to the bow of the ship and have a look." After Sailian finished speaking, he took Mengcomb to the bow of the ship. Looking at the clear sky, Sailian frowned, vaguely aware of the changes in the climate, but this
After all, it is not the Indian Ocean where Selian is resident, and the estimate of the arrival time of strong convective weather is somewhat biased.
However, before Selian could think deeply, the lookout on the big ship informed Selian that he saw the stagnant Han fleet ahead. Selian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He put aside his original thoughts about the celestial phenomena and instead thought about Zhou Yu's situation.
playing what.
"Commander, it's not good. Anais reported urgently, saying that the Han army is about to build the Tongkra Canal. Marshal Masinde asked you to return quickly." Before Selian could think clearly, a crew member from behind reported to Selian urgently.
, Selian couldn't help but be stunned.
"Kra Canal?" Selian asked with a solemn look at his crew.
"Yes." The crew member replied nervously.
"Didn't Masinde apply for a group of professional scouts to keep an eye on this matter?" Selian knew very well what the hell would happen after the canal was built.
"But our scouts did not investigate the relevant information before." The crew member said nervously. Selian frowned. When Selian was young, such intelligence that could affect the strategic battle situation was wrong. How could these people
Let Saili cut it safely.
But now, Selian is old after all. Although he is quite angry, he is not violent enough to kill someone on the spot.
After knowing this, Selian realized that he had been tricked. The so-called decisive battle in the East China Sea was just a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
"Turn around and go back to Malacca." Sailian said with a gloomy expression. Although at this moment he wanted to beat Zhou Yu to death on the spot, he could still distinguish what was more serious.
When the Kushan army observed the Han army, the Han army also observed the Kushan army. As soon as they discovered that the enemy had turned around, they decisively pulled anchor and chased the Kushan navy.
"Go to the archipelago first, which is close to Shenxiang. Let me regain my youth there first and start the self-circulation. We will retreat quickly." Selian immediately selected the most suitable retreat plan, and this plan was different from Zhou Yu's previous plan.
There is no slight difference in the estimates.
"Yes, Commander." The captains of each department quickly ordered to start mobilizing and chased towards the Ryukyu Islands that they passed before.
Just as Zhou Yu had estimated before, Selian knew the strength of the Han army and would never go inside the Yizhou Strait. After all, the distance between the straits was not very large and it was close to the Yanbian of the Han Dynasty. In case of an ambush by the Han Dynasty,
, even Selian would feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, we will definitely choose the outside, and even stay relatively far away for safety reasons, and Yizhou is farther east, which is the Ryukyu Islands.
Further east, there is the radiation range of Fuso Shenxiang. When passing by, Selian, who had plundered the blessings of Shenxiang once, can definitely feel the slight improvement, so he retreated
When the time comes, I will definitely choose here.
Even though it is relatively far to go this way, being close to Shenxiang will allow Selian to recover more or less. Even if he has to return it when he leaves, it will be enough time for Selian to arrange everything.
This is very meaningful for the subsequent retreat. Of course, Gan Ning, Huang Gai and others arranged by Zhou Yu are also there. After all, the entire Yanbian of the East China Sea, which is the Ryukyu Islands, is the best place to hide people. Other locations are all
Very easy to expose.
"Chase." Zhou Yu ordered Zhou Tai, "But don't be anxious, just hang behind them. Wait until the Ryukyu Islands, when Selian activates the self-circulation, then take action."
Zhou Tai nodded and didn't ask why he was hanging on the Kushan Navy more than ten miles away. This distance was enough for the stone pills and heavy crossbows of both sides to shoot at each other, but the hit rate of both sides was at this distance.
, even with talented enhancements, they are garbage.
In addition, after the last naval battle, both sides have strengthened their warships to a certain extent. The Han Dynasty has carried out structural strengthening, with better armor and impact resistance, while Kushan has carried out the group defense type.
Further research.
This makes the warships on both sides now have stronger defense capabilities, at least they will not be hit by the main gun and directly scrapped like before.
"Commander, don't we care about the Han army following behind?" Meng Combo looked at Selian and asked in confusion.
"Just leave him hanging and move forward at full speed. I can feel that not far ahead, I will be able to return to my peak condition." Selian glanced at the Han fleet and had no doubts. The other party did not dare
It's not surprising that he attacked himself. After all, the previous beating was not a joke. I'm afraid Zhou Yu also remembered it deeply.
On the other side of the Ryukyu Islands, Gan Ning was working hard to disguise his fleet as a small island. In order to achieve this goal, he even transplanted many trees on his warship.
"Homing and tiger, you can see it." Gan Ning looked at his camouflage fleet with satisfaction. After covering double -layer operations through professional disguise personnel and light and shadow, Gan Ning could guarantee that as long as it was not close to a mile position, as long as it was not close to a mile position, it was not near a mile position.
, it is basically impossible for anyone to realize that this is a fleet, but it is close to one mile, why would he not risk his life and kill him?
"Wen Xiang, what's wrong with you?" When Gan Ning clapped his hands with satisfaction, he noticed that Xu Sheng on the side had a strange look on his face, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"When I was diving before, I found that there were some pile-like things under these islands." Xu Sheng asked with a somewhat curious expression.
Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this. With a change of thought, he understood what this was. He had met Cai Hao's brothers before. According to Cai Hao, they had been waiting here for almost a year. Gan Ning thought about it.
, it would probably be unrealistic if there wasn't some Zhou Yu's skill involved.
After all, the reconstruction of Fazheng's Eight Desolate Pillars and Three Rings in the Battle of Brahasi is enough to explain many problems. In this case, it is not impossible to arrange the formation base in advance.
However, Gan Ning did not say what he was thinking. He was just curious about how Zhou Yu guaranteed that Selian would pass through here a year ago.
No matter how he thought about it, he started plotting against someone so early. Just thinking about it made Gan Ning feel a lot of pressure. His original confidence in Zhou Yu couldn't help but grow even more.
"Hurry up and arrange your legions. According to the governor's previous arrangements, I think Selian should be here soon." Gan Ning changed the topic naturally.
Xu Sheng looked puzzled when he heard this. If Selian wanted to retreat, how could he choose this way? This way is equivalent to a detour.
Gan Ning rolled his eyes and ignored Xu Sheng. He just sent the other party to ambush him. Although Gan Ning didn't know why Selian came here, but just looking at the things prepared on the island here, Gan Ning felt that Selian
He must go this way, otherwise, why would Zhou Yu bother so much? If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the venue for the decisive battle.
In Southeast Asia, the war between the Han army and the Kushan land route decided the winner. With Taishi Ci's final blow of the moon blade, after it blasted into the coastline, the construction of the Kra Canal was basically completed, and the remaining modifications and maintenance can be carried out later.
What we have to do now is to completely defeat Nikaya and others.
"Withdraw, there is no way to save the day." Masinde saw Tai Shici's final blow hitting the coastline, and the Pacific Ocean water poured into the canal. Masinde knew that they had lost, and he could only watch Selian next.
It's arranged.
Although even if Selian successfully withdraws, after the island chain blockade in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean is opened, the Kushan Navy no longer has the ability to suppress the Han Dynasty Navy. Since then, the Han army has been trapped in the sky, but if Selian kills Zhou Yu
, then there will still be room for redemption.
Even if this possibility is very slim, at this time Masinde has to hope that this slim hope can be realized.
"We have not failed yet. Although we have suffered heavy losses, we still have the strength to fight again." Nijiaye said with a ferocious expression. By now, he already understood the impact this canal has on the entire Kushan strategy.
"There is no hope. The opponent's legion that used legions to attack and blast the canal has already freed up its hands. Our previous most promising ones did not defeat Kenmale and Valena." Masinde shook his head, but when talking about that
When the two of them met, Masinde felt inexplicably relieved.
At least these two people finally found a good home, and it seems that the master named Sun Ce really trusts them.
"Damn traitors, if it weren't for them." Bebuto said through gritted teeth.
Masinde immediately organized all the young men in the north of Ye Diao, and then took away all the remaining legions to pull the canal directly. However, this plan itself was seen through by Zheng Du.
So much so that the location of the canal that was blocked for the first time was a camouflage after the river was widened. Zheng Du deployed about 6,000 civilians in that river, and pulled Sun Ce, Ken Mailer and others over, and fought there.
for three days.
In these precious three days, Masinde realized that he had been deceived and was helpless. After all, no one would have thought that the Han army built the canal in this way before seeing the Wudang Army.
Zheng Du, who knew that he could not hide himself after breaking the circle, decisively asked Taishi Ci to postpone the use of legion attacks on the day of breaking the circle, and instead used conventional digging methods to mislead the Kushan scouts.
The fact is as Zheng Du estimated. He only received information that the Han army was digging the canal, but it was impossible to accurately describe where the canal was. After all, he observed the Han army digging the canal and sent this news to Masinde.
That scout couldn't appear next to Masinde.
Therefore, Masinde could only rely on experience to judge - six to seven thousand people were dredging the river, and a large army was stationed for defense. Yes, this is where it was.
This is the so-called preconception, a reality that even a wise man like Masinde cannot avoid. As a result, more than ten miles away from the real canal, Masinde fought with the Han Dynasty at all costs for three days and seized the mouth of the river.
Come down.
It turned out that this was a fake estuary. At that time, Masinde was almost unable to breathe and died. By the time he found the real canal and launched another attack, his morale was already low.
Exhausted, that's it.
So much so that Taishi Ci succeeded in repairing the side of the canal close to the Pacific Ocean. As for the Indian Ocean side, it has not yet been completed. Originally, it was supposed that after both sides were repaired, the final coastline would be blasted. However, in this situation, it is directly
It would be the best option to blow up the coastline and then repair the few kilometers on the Indian Ocean side.
At least this blow would shatter not only the coastline, but also Masinde's morale in his final fight to the death.
It can be said that after this blow, Masinde no longer wanted to fight. Even though he knew that the Indian Ocean might not be solved yet, he was dissatisfied.
Selian naturally does not know these things. In fact, Selian, who is now close to the Ryukyu Islands, has returned to the peak combat effectiveness of his life.
Just as Selian estimated, in this position, he can indeed get the benefits that belong to Shenxiang. With the release of the divine throne and the injection of life essence, Selian, whose skin is sagging and covered with age spots, slowly
Start to regain your youth.
At this time, Gan Ning's fleet, which was less than five miles away from the Kushan fleet, was just floating on the water, pretending to be an island. In fact, all aspects of the fleet had been adjusted in place, and they were just waiting for an order from Zhou Yu in the northeast.
"No matter what you think, I have regained my youth." Selian breathed out, and greeted the direction of Zhou Yu's fleet with great confidence. At this time, the southeast position was already covered with clouds, and Zhou Yu slowly let out a breath.
, looking at the self-circulation rising in the distance, he took out his own seal.
"In the name of Zhou Yu, the governor of the Han Dynasty and the third noble son of Shenxiang, we decree that only the mainland of Fusang can be called Shenxiang!" Zhou Yu took a deep breath and ordered softly to the map on the table.
, then took out the seal of his Governor Sihai and pressed it directly on the territory.
The next moment, the ink color on Zhou Yu's body that represented Tsukiyomi's fate dissipated directly, and a faint whine appeared in Zhou Yu's ears. The collapse of the divine throne and the forcible reshaping of the territory of Shenxiang made Zhou Yu's face turn pale, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, Zhou Yu sneered and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He didn't care about the impact at all. He himself was a strong person with inner energy leaving the body, and the Central Plains had been a place where imperial power suppressed divine power since ancient times. As the governor of the four seas, he was qualified to reshape the four seas.
territory, not to mention that without Sun Ce coming, he himself has the highest authority in Shenxiang.
Therefore, a little backlash was nothing to Zhou Yu.
At the same time, the Han military general who had received the divine title in Shenxiang and could feel the blessing of Shenxiang in the Ryukyu Islands immediately realized that the divine position was unable to follow Shenxiang's return due to the rapid shrinkage of Shenxiang's radiation range.
Forced to dissipate through dissociation.
This kind of divine position that dissipates in a dissociated manner is equivalent to a sudden riot of inner energy, causing a certain impact. However, most of the divine positions in the Han Dynasty have inner energy separated from the body, or they are top-level Qi practitioners who have become Gang.
, this kind of impact is equivalent to a punch in the brain for them, they are just a little dizzy, and they will be fine if they take a breath.
But for a general with the internal Qi separation level, it is equivalent to a punch to the brain. What kind of impact will it have on an old man like Selian who is already in his twilight years?
The moment Zhou Yu pressed the seal, Selian, who was rebuilding his self-circulation, spat out a mouthful of old blood, and then fell to the ground. The self-circulation suddenly became jammed. Zhou Yu didn't say a single extra word.
, directly led the fleet and rushed over.
"Ship doctor!" The moment the dark red blood splashed on himself, Mengcombu turned around and grabbed the furious Selian, and then yelled at the doctor arranged in the sea fortress.
The military doctor on board the ship rushed over immediately, and then spread out the light that represented the god of medicine as much as possible, and tried their best to treat Selian.
"Ahem..." Selian slowly opened his eyes, spat out blood from the corners of his mouth, pointed to the north, and then pointed to the south, "Mengcombu...it's up to you..."
"Commander, don't talk. Your injury is very serious." The ship's doctor tried his best to treat Sailian. However, it was already very difficult to maintain the current state. Fortunately, another ship's doctor who also practiced the medical god visualization also
Came over.
However, before Meng Kangbu could give the order, the entire ocean began to boil, as if there was an undersea earthquake, and even some islands began to collapse. Under this terrifying force, Kushan's originally relatively complete fleet was
, collided with each other and dispersed, and the self-circulation that had already formed gradually disintegrated as the fleet disintegrated.
Mengkangbu raised his hand and wanted to re-concentrate the self-circulation in the huge waves. After all, in such harsh sea conditions, without self-circulation, you would really die. But before he could gather his will to connect the heaven and earth essence, the scattered heaven and earth essence began to flow.
Ignited by Zhou Yu, the crimson flames directly covered the entire fleet. Those piles nailed to the seabed were not only detonators but also the base of the burning military formation.
