Naturally, the decisive battle could not be fought. On the one hand, Mengkangbu, who had already set off at that time, had no relevant information at all. On the other hand, when the Kushan side discovered that Zhou Yu's ship had sailed to the middle reaches of the Ganges River, Mengkangbu's
The fleet has passed the Kou family's fiefdom and will soon arrive in the Bay of Bengal.
At this time, there is no point in notifying or not. It is better to let Mengkangbu choose the target on his own. After all, Mengkangbu himself is also an excellent general. The war for so many years was not in vain. When he found out that Zhou Yu was not there, naturally
New targets will also be selected.
It's just that the overall situation is not as good as Zhu Helai thought. This actually involves a change in the strategic layout of the world's oceans after many years of naval battles between the Han army and Kushan.
In the past, whoever captured the Strait of Malacca was qualified to blockade the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. However, the Han army built the Kra Isthmus Canal and directly completed the change of the world's maritime strategic layout.
After defeating the Han army and navy and capturing Malacca, the Han Dynasty could still travel between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
As for Montcomb's capture of the Kra Isthmus Canal, this is purely a dream. This is an artificial canal, not a miraculous work of nature. The left and right widths are exactly the same. After the construction was completed, various permanent forts were built.
Instead of thinking about how to capture this kind of canal, it is better to be realistic and directly use transport ships to load stones to block the canal. At least this behavior is more realistic and more effective.
However, even if transport ships were loaded with stones to block the canal, the army could not block it, and the Han army would be able to open the canal again within a few days.
Therefore, the so-called capture of Malacca and regaining the overall strategic advantage of the navy did not exist from the beginning. As for why Zhou Yu has been deploying defenses in Malacca, this involves another reason, or more directly, this is pure politics.
reason.
If there was no Kra Isthmus Canal, Jiangdong controlled Malacca, shipping gradually developed, and the Han Dynasty would fight over the Malacca issue sooner or later. Jiangdong invested almost all his resources in the construction of Sumatra. When the tidal flat problem was completely solved, there would be fertile land there.
, one relies on the homeland, and the other goes on an expedition, the internal friction will be very fatal.
Chen Xi has no interest in the Eternal Dynasty, it is just a backwater. What he wants is the expansion of the Han cultural circle. Master and slave are not important, but interests are the most exciting things. In the hands of the Jiangdong people, sooner or later, unnecessary civil strife will break out in Malacca due to interests.
.
Therefore, the Kra Isthmus Canal was born. This more than 100-mile canal was not only Jiangdong's strategic alternative to Kushan at that time, but also another option for the Han Dynasty in the future.
Even if the old people like Zhao Qi didn't point out the possibility of connecting the canal at the weak point when looking at the map at the beginning, Chen Xi would point it out later. After all, some things were not done at the beginning, and the resistance to be done later would be too great.
Just like in ancient China, the 2,700-kilometer Grand Canal was built, but now the Kra Isthmus Canal in Thailand has been delayed for hundreds of years and has been constantly shelved due to various political reasons. As a result, no matter who is interested, there is strong resistance and cannot
promote.
It’s not that it’s difficult to build a canal that’s more than 50 kilometers long, but that the political forces involved in whether to build the canal are constantly wrestling with each other, leaving no one able to do anything.
Therefore, from the beginning, the situation was not as good as Zhu Helai thought. On the contrary, Mengkangbu's position at the beginning was very correct. No matter what situation he faced next, as long as he seized this opportunity, Zhou Yu would be defeated.
To kill him would be a strategic victory.
After all, even if it is replaced by a true seventh-generation ship, without Zhou Yu's command, it may not be possible to kill Mengkangbu. The seventh-generation ship is absolutely invincible at the same time. Even Kushan's various weapons and secret techniques cannot break through the defense. At most
Just hit it until the paint comes off.
However, in addition to long-range strikes, naval operations also include ship-jumping warfare. Especially in the third century, the mainstream navy should have used ship-jumping warfare as its core combat idea.
It sounds outrageous, but in fact the last boarding battle took place in World War II. It was the Cossack vs. Altmark. Although it was a destroyer vs. an oil tanker, it was also a real ship-jumping battle. It can be seen that if the captain is rubbish, what?
None of this stuff is reliable.
If Zhou Yu launches the Zhen 7th generation ship to fight against the Kushan Navy, the probability that the Kushan Navy will have the opportunity to execute a ship-jumping battle is 0. Then with other commanders, including Gan Ning, the Guishang Navy will at least have a chance to get the Zhen 7th generation ship.
On behalf of the ship, this is the difference.
Moncombe didn't know this. He just followed his own judgment and implemented the plan that he thought was correct. But in reality, his plan can be called the most correct plan. At the very least, it has a real chance of killing him.
Zhou Yu's plan to injure the Han army.
As for Zhu Helai, Altay has made these plans now. To be honest, Altay has only created a few kilometers of muddy land, so what if he has created half a Ganges of muddy land? This method can only contain the
The performance of the Han army, the Han army cannot move, but the Kushan army can move?
In Kushan, except for the Kshatriya warrior corps at Sakala, which has the ability to pass through this kind of terrain, wouldn't the other corps also fail when faced with this kind of terrain?
The Han Dynasty has been disgusted for a period of time. At the very least, they can spend 20,000 to 30,000 shield guards with stable talents. If not, they can also bring Zang Ba back. Is this the way to solve the problem?
In fact, no, Altay never thought about solving the problem completely, he just wanted to delay it.
On the contrary, Mengcomb really wanted to solve the problem, and what was different from others was that Mengcomb really had the possibility to solve the problem. After all, in army operations, as long as the generals are not stupid and run away if they can't win, it will be a rout.
You can also run away a lot.
But in a naval battle, as long as you seize the opportunity, even if it is just a chance, it is actually possible to completely turn defeat into victory. Zhou Yu used facts to show everyone before, what is meant by even if you are stronger than me, as long as you have a chance, you can win everything you lost before.
Win it back.
This time, it is really an opportunity for Guishang to turn defeat into victory. If Zhou Yu did not drive the seventh-generation ship to Qunu City, Mengkangbu would have a 60% chance of winning back everything he lost before, including this battle.
Guan Yu, Yu Jin and others took back all the places they had captured.
Because Zhou Yu also wanted to kill Meng Kambu, as long as Meng Kambu really appeared in the Bay of Bengal, Zhou Yu would pursue him even if he knew it was a bait, because Zhou Yu brought 70% of the Han fleet and admirals in the Bay of Bengal.
This data matches Zhou Yu's own combat effectiveness. Against Meng Combo who has not changed his warships, without the cover of land-based forts, even if Meng Combo cannot be defeated, he can still defeat the opponent, even if Meng Combo has some other secret skills.
and hidden power don't matter to Zhou Yu anymore, just like the first time Zhou Yu faced Selian, it doesn't matter what tricks you have.
After all, Zhou Yu was also very annoyed with Meng Kangbu. With the exception of Gan Ning, other naval officers of the Han army would die if they encountered Meng Kangbu under similar conditions.
Although the Kushan navy was extremely fearful of Zhou Yu, in fact the Han army was also very fearful of the Kushan navy. Everyone could see it after fighting to this extent. The navy was divided into Zhou Yu and others, while the others were divided into Meng Kangbu and others.
other……
Therefore, Zhou Yu also wanted to seize an opportunity to kill Meng Kangbu, so that the ordinary naval officers under his command could lead the fleet to dominate the four oceans.
The problem is that when Zhou Yu was leading the team, Meng Kangbu was either the main force in the group, or was protected by land-based forts along the Kushan coast. When Zhou Yu was not leading the team, Meng Kangbu led the team to find ways to strangle the Han navy.
The two of them rarely encountered each other.
In the few encounters, the navy led by Zhou Yu did not have the strength to gnaw at Meng Kangbu's main force. Therefore, when Zhou Yu led the main force and Meng Kangbu suddenly appeared, Zhou Yu would definitely rush forward and strangle Meng Kangbu, even if Zhou Yu's mentality
It is clear that the other party is definitely a bait, but what happened to the bait? I, Zhou Yu, want to see what kind of ambush you can come up with.
As the saying goes, "A good rider will fall from his horse, and a good swimmer will drown in the water." This is the case.
Just like when Selian didn't know that Zhou Yu's large-scale campaign was a decoy? Yes, but Selian was confident that even if he was old and had only one breath left, he could take Zhou Yu away with him at the last moment, so Selian saw
Zhou Yu made a large-scale movement and followed directly.
The follow-up results are also known. In the naval battle, Zhou Yu was indeed unable to defeat Salian, but Salian was choked by Zhou Yu.
As long as Zhou Yu follows, Meng Kangbu has a 60% to 70% certainty of taking Zhou Yu away. Of course, as a price, Meng Kangbu's generals and even Meng Kangbu himself may be taken away in the process.
,But that's okay.
If Mengkangbu did not die during this process, then the Kushans would have won a complete victory, which could be said to have reversed the strategic situation. The Han Dynasty could only wait for the subsequent true seventh-generation ships to go to sea to completely eliminate the Kushan navy.
And there are some other unexpected factors here.
If Meng Kangbu also dies during this process, Kushan will at least reverse the strategic situation to a certain extent. The navy will at least have the basis to suppress the Han navy. It just needs to wait for the true seventh-generation ship to come down and make all efforts.
It's all for nothing.
Without Meng Combo's level, ordinary naval officers would not even have the qualifications to engage in a ship-jumping battle with a true seventh-generation ship. The simplest thing is that without Meng Comb, a naval officer who is only slightly stronger than the Han army would not be able to defeat our own side.
The warships were attacked by the Han army and approached the true seventh-generation ship.
This slight difference is due to the unexpected factors briefly summarized above - even if it is the so-called favor of fate, you must have the basic strength to accept this favor.
It's a pity that Zhou Yu has already gone to Qunv City to eliminate the subsequent hidden dangers of Sun Ce's behavior back then. As a result, the only possible opportunity to reverse the entire strategy has been lost. Zhou Yu is not in the Bay of Bengal, and the biggest move Mengkangbu can make is to destroy it.
Some jars and jars.
Maybe for Kushan, smashing these pots and jars is a huge victory, but just like when Benzi fought against the American emperor, what they thought was a huge victory was not a traumatic loss for the American emperor.
.
The two sides did not fight on the same level from the beginning. The Han Dynasty sought a victory that could stabilize its operations and continue its rule, while the Kushans' goal was just to continue to survive without any long-term plan.
Many of the Kushan Empire's performances that were thought to be amazing were actually just an inspiration when they were beaten by the Han Dynasty.
The entire Han-Gui war can truly be called a strategic-level plan. The only plans were to blockade Malacca, control Shang Hung, move Bei-Gui internally, and recruit Liu Ling to integrate internally. The rest were just passive reactions in the face of the Han Dynasty's beatings.
However, among these strategic-level plans, only one came from Zhu Helai. The other two were the empirical analysis of maritime layout by Sailian, a naval giant, and the two were gifts given by Masinde when he escaped.
As for other operations, let’s put it this way, the strategies that can’t change the situation of the battle are all funny analysis. Do you know why there is a kind of staff called Showa staff? This kind of staff is not about the intelligence gap with others, but a more direct cognitive problem.
There are differences in levels.
The failure of tactics is at most painful. If the strategy fails, there is no need to feel pain, because it is already dead, so why should it hurt?
The predicament Kushan is currently in is actually strategic passivity. Unfortunately, there are few ways to reverse this passivity. After all, even if you want to try to make a big move, at least you need to have four ounces of energy, and Kushan's
The problem lies in how to generate these four ounces of energy.
Guishang thought about how to use these four ounces of energy. That was Guishang's business. What the Han Dynasty wanted was to beat Guishang to death directly with a thousand pounds of force.
For example, the seventh-generation ship hit bottom near Qunv City. After Sun Ce, who was standing on the bow of the ship as a statue, was swept down, Zhou Yu finally gave up and continued to move forward.
At present, this place is still more than ten miles away from Qunu City, but it is already within the strike range of the Heaven and Earth Essence-Electromagnetic Railgun. Zhou Yu does not want to waste energy and continue to move forward. Although his crewmen are working hard to repair the ship, and then rely on
The cloud-solidified road can still be traveled for a few miles, but that would be too troublesome.
Zhou Yu said that there is no need to do this. It doesn’t matter how many miles more or less. It is difficult for naval guns to hit warships at sea because of the bumps in the sea. But when hitting fixed targets, the hit rate is still guaranteed, and fixed targets are still
If you still can't hit a city, then the Jiangdong archers will commit suicide. They are pure waste!
"This city wall is difficult to build." Sun Ce stared at Qu Nu City with a serious expression.
"This is the royal city. At the beginning, there was no cloud energy or etching. General Guan used all the power of his army to slash the wall of Peshawar with only a trace. Not to mention the current Qunv City." Zhou Yu said calmly, "The one above
I may not be able to identify the secret techniques and etchings clearly, but as long as it's still a city wall, it's no problem. Go contact our people and prepare to attack the city."
It’s getting cold. The author is indeed getting chilly. We haven’t even had a high temperature holiday yet. It’s really cold, hopeless and heartbreaking. I’m asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of this month.
