Chapter 3581 Turbulence(1/2)
The southeast battlefield that had been stable for more than a year, as the Kra Canal emerged from the rainforest, it was like pouring a spoonful of water into a rolling oil pan and exploded on the spot.
"It's past Yizhou, so let's get here." Zhou Yu stood at the bow of the ship, looked at Yizhou that had disappeared from the sea level, and issued orders to the warships.
"Why did you stop here?" Gan Ning jumped over from another warship and looked at Zhou Yu with some surprise and asked, "The East China Sea is the further north."
"Because it was impossible for both sides to fight in the East China Sea from the beginning." Zhou Yu said calmly, "The so-called war book is said to be the East China Sea, which is more to make Selian feel that he can restore his youth."
"But when we stop here, the other party will not fight us, just turn around and leave directly." Gan Ning frowned and said.
"Yes, theoretically, it is, and that's true, not to mention that the Kra Canal should be exposed. Mashinde must have sent someone to notify Selian at all costs now." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Based on my understanding of Kushan, probably in our current position, the warships sent by Mashinde should catch up with Selian's fortress."
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Yu with confusion.
"The warships and personnel of the Donghai Shipyard and the Jiangnan Shipyard are on the nearby islands. You can go and receive them. At most, the wind direction will change once in a few days." Zhou Yu said calmly.
"The battlefield you have been planning is here?" Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu and asked.
"Yes, I have been sending things to the Central Plains this year. Apart from making money, the rest are all studying the hydrological data here and the layout of the islands here." Zhou Yu nodded. Under all the precursors with the same conditions except people, it is basically impossible for Zhou Yu to defeat Selyan.
Relying on the right time and place is itself the most basic manifestation of famous generals.
"I understand." Gan Ning nodded. He already understood what Zhou Yu was planning to do.
"If you understand, then go to various islands to take over the fleet and wait there." Zhou Yu said with a breath.
"How to solve the problem of self-circulation?" Gan Ning suddenly turned his head and asked before leaving.
"In essence, it is just a more large-scale will to mobilize the essence of heaven and earth. Many things in this world, as long as they understand the essence, they will have their own solutions." Zhou Yu said relaxedly, "Let others prepare."
Gan Ning respectfully bowed to Zhou Yu when he heard this. He knew that this time, one of the other people and Zhou Yu would definitely die. No matter how light the words said before, Gan Ning realized that this was definitely not as relaxed as Zhou Yu said before.
"Just leave me to command here. One hundred and twelve warships are enough." Zhou Yu glanced at Gan Ning and signaled that Gan Ning would organize other personnel to land on the island to change ships.
"I won't lose to an old man." Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and waited silently for the captains of each unit to get off the ship and go to the islands to change ships.
If the East China Sea is used as the battlefield, Zhou Yu would never be able to find so many islands suitable for ambushing and easy to hide, but it happened to be very suitable to the east of Yizhou.
What's more, when we arrived at this location, with Masind's speed, it was time to pass on the information from the Kra Canal. However, when we arrived at this place, we couldn't let Selian say it.
The process of changing the ship took two days, and then Zhou Yu led Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others to head north quickly. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Gan Ning, Ling Cao, Xu Sheng and others were ambushing the island here, waiting for Sellian's return.
The Cellian ships did not move quickly. After all, there was a fortress as the core, which severely slowed down the overall speed. In addition, Cellian's condition was not very good, so the speed of traveling along the way was naturally not up.
"Monkamp, how did you learn?" Selian said tiredly because of the bumps. "You have learned almost all the skills and tactics, but it's just a self-circulation system."
"I have already learned the techniques and tactics, but I am just creating more suitable applications according to your requirements. You always don't let me try the self-circulation system. How can I guarantee that I can learn it myself?" Meng Kangbu said helplessly.
"The basic knowledge is the most important, and those techniques and tactics are the most important. It doesn't matter whether you learn it or not." Selian said with some emotion.
"But at this time, I can also tell you some ideas about naval warfare. Speaking of which, you may not believe it. As the creator of self-circulation, I realized that this path was wrong when I was on the verge of limit." Selian said to Mengkangbu with sadness.
"Hmm?" Mengkangbu said in disbelief at Selian.
"When I created the self-circulation, the essence of heaven and earth was not so high." Selian said with remembrance, "Even if it is to stimulate the essence of heaven and earth, it is only a kind of strengthening for people and warships, not the most important combat power. The core of any system should be people, and in the self-circulation, people are just spare parts."
"This is a kind of putting the cart before the horse," said Selian with loss. "This road is wrong, but I have no chance to correct it. The higher the essence of heaven and earth, the greater the shortcomings of this road. Of course, if the concentration of the essence of heaven and earth is higher, this road can still shine with the final brilliance before it is finished. The combination of the cloud-solidified road and the group's defensive style is enough to lead to the sky."
If it can fly, then the self-circulation path will still have considerable combat effectiveness before the essence of heaven and earth will be further enhanced. Unfortunately, I can't wait for that time.
"Is it wrong?" Meng Kangbu moved his mouth and finally did not refute. For some reason, he felt that this path was not correct before.
"It seems you discovered it too." Selian said with a smile, "Your qualifications are very good, but you lack something. I was fighting with you in Cabe Bay back then. Remember why you could last until the end."
"Sometimes, people don't need a way out. Even if there is no way out, don't go back. Breaking through the front may not be correct, but going back is bound to be wrong." Selian was like a gentle elderly person at this time, without any majesty at all.
Mengkangbu looked at Selian strangely, not knowing whether it was his illusion or what was going on, but he always felt that Selian was entrusting his or her orphans.
"Yes, I'm just giving my last words." Selian nodded as if he had seen through Mengkambu's thoughts at first sight, "I don't know why, but I felt a danger of death inexplicably."
"Why don't we turn around?" Meng Kangbu looked around and suddenly spoke. At this time, they had passed Yizhou and marched towards the so-called East China Sea. If they moved forward a little further, Selian would return to youth.
Of course, Zhou Yu was really less than half a day away from Selyan at this time. In fact, not long after passing Yizhou, Zhou Yu stopped the boat and he was waiting.
"No, I want to see what that guy Zhou Yu is playing." Selian said confidently. As an invincible player in the world, he would never turn around to this level. To be precise, if he hadn't taken Zhou Yu away before he died, he would not have attacked at all.
If it weren't for this idea, Selian would just stay in Malacca and wait for death. Why should he accept Zhou Yu's invitation and risk a journey back and forth to fight with Zhou Yu in the East China Sea?
You should know that at the level of Cellian, even if the battle is smooth, Selian's life will be shortened after the battle. What's more, if you can fight Zhou Yu, it's a hell that it's a pity.
"Let's go and go to the head of the ship to take a look." After Selian finished speaking, he took Mengkangbu to the head of the ship. Looking at the clear sky, Selian frowned and vaguely noticed the changes in the climate. However, this place was not the Indian Ocean where Selian was stationed, and he had a little biased estimate of the arrival of strong convective weather.
However, before Selian could think deeply, the lookout hand on the ship informed Selian that he had seen the stagnant Han fleet ahead. Selian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his original thoughts on the celestial phenomena were put aside, and instead thought about what Zhou Yu was playing.
"Master, it's not good. Anes urgently reported that the Han army was about to build the Tongkla Canal. Military Advisor Masinde asked you to return quickly." Before Selian thought it through, a crew member in the rear urgently reported Selian, and Selian couldn't help but be stunned.
"Cara Canal?" Selian asked at his crew with a serious expression.
"Yes." The crew replied nervously.
"Didn't Masinde apply for a group of professional scouts to focus on this matter?" Selian knew very well what the hell would be like after the canal was built.
"But our scouts had not investigated the relevant information before." The crew member said nervously, and Selian frowned. When Selian was young, such information that was enough to affect the strategic situation was wrong. This group of people could make Selian cut off safely.
But now, Selian is old after all. Although he is quite angry, he does not show any tyranny of killing people on the spot.
After knowing this, Selian realized that he had been fooled. The so-called decisive battle in the East China Sea was just a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"Change and go back to Malacca." Selian said with a gloomy expression. Although he wanted to beat Zhou Yu on the spot at this moment, he could still tell which one is more important.
When Kushan observed the Han army, the Han army also observed the Kushan side. As soon as they found out that the other party turned around, they decisively pulled up their anchor and chased the Kushan Navy.
"Go to the archipelago first, approach the Shenxiang there, let me restore my youth first, start the self-circulation, and we retreat quickly." Selian immediately chose the most suitable retreat plan, and this plan was no different from Zhou Yu's previous estimate.
"Yes, Grandmaster." The captains of each division quickly ordered to start mobilization and chased the Ryukyu Islands that they had passed by before.
Just as Zhou Yu had estimated before, Selian knew that the strength of the Han army would never go inside the Yizhou Strait. After all, the distance between the strait was not very large, and it was close to Yanbian of the Han Dynasty. If there was an ambush in the Han Dynasty, even Selian would be very uncomfortable.
Therefore, I will definitely choose the outside, and for safety reasons, I will even be relatively far away. To the east of Yizhou, it is the Ryukyu Islands.
Going further east is the radiation range of Fusang Shen Township. When passing by here, Selyan, who had forcibly plundered the blessing of the Shen Township, could definitely feel the slight improvement, so when retreating, he would definitely choose this side.
Even if you walk here relatively far and close to Shenxiang, Selian can recover more or less, and even if you have to return it when you leave, it is enough for Selian to arrange everything during that time.
This is very meaningful for the next retreat. Of course, Gan Ning, Huang Gai and others arranged by Zhou Yu were also there. After all, the entire Yanbian of the East China Sea, the Ryukyu Islands are the most hiding people, and other locations are easily exposed.
"Chasing." Zhou Yu ordered Zhou Tai, "But don't worry, just hang behind them. When the Ryukyu Islands are on the side, Selyan starts his own cycle and then takes action."
Zhou Tai nodded, and did not ask why he hung over ten miles of the Kushan Navy. This distance was enough for both sides' Ishima and heavy crossbows to shoot at each other. However, the hit rate of both sides was at this distance, even if the talented strengthened, it would be garbage.
In addition, after the last naval battle, both sides strengthened their own warships to a certain extent, the Han Dynasty strengthened its structural strength, and its armor and impact resistance were better, while the Kushan conducted more in-depth research on the group's defensive style.
This makes both warships on both sides have stronger defenses, at least they will not be hit by the main gun like before and will be directly scrapped.
"Master, do we care about the Han army following behind?" Meng Kangbu asked in confusion as he looked at Selian.
"Just let him hang. Go forward at full speed. I can feel that I can return to my peak state not far ahead." Selian glanced at the Han army's fleet, without any doubt. It was not surprising that the other party did not dare to attack him. After all, the previous beating was not a joke, and I am afraid that Zhou Yu also remembered it deeply.
On the other side of the Ryukyu Islands, Gan Ning is trying hard to disguise his fleet as a small island. In order to achieve this goal, he even transplanted a lot of trees on his warships.
"It's easy to see." Gan Ning looked at his disguised fleet with satisfaction. After the professional disguised personnel and light and shadow covering the double-layer operation, Gan Ning can guarantee that as long as it is not close to one mile, it is basically impossible for anyone to find that it is a fleet, but it is close to one mile. Why is Gan Ning still killing him?
"Wen Xiang, what's wrong with you?" When Gan Ning clapped his hands with satisfaction, he found Xu Sheng on the side with a strange look, and 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 curious look.
Gan Ning was stunned when she heard this. After a moment of thought, she understood what this thing was. He had seen the Cai Mao brothers before. According to Cai Mao, they had been waiting in this place for almost a year. Gan Ning thought that it would be unrealistic to not have Zhou Yu's skills here.
After all, in the battle between Brahmaz and Fazheng's reconstruction of the eight wilderness pillars and the three rings of Fazheng's is enough to illustrate many problems. In this case, it is not impossible to arrange the array base in advance.
However, Gan Ning did not say what he thought. He was just curious about how Zhou Yu promised that Selyan would pass from here a year ago.
No matter what I thought, I started to plot against someone since I was so early. Just thinking about it, Gan Ning felt a lot of pressure, and his original confidence in Zhou Yu could not help but add three points.
"Hurry up and arrange your army. According to the previous arrangements of the governor, I thought that Selyan should come here soon." Gan Ning naturally changed the topic.
Xu Sheng looked puzzled when he heard this. If Selian wanted to retreat, how could he choose to go here? This is equivalent to a detour.
Gan Ning rolled his eyes and ignored Xu Sheng and sent the other party to ambush quickly. Although Gan Ning didn't know why Selian walked here, just looking at the things prepared by the island here, Gan Ning felt that Selian would definitely walk here. Otherwise, why would Zhou Yu have to be so troublesome? No surprises here should be the venue for the decisive battle.
The war between the Han army and the Kushan land was decided. After Taishici's last attack on the Moon Blade and hit the coastline, the Kara Canal was basically completed, and the remaining corrections and maintenance could be carried out later. What we need to do now is to completely defeat Nikaya and others.
"Retreat, I'm powerless to turn the world back." Masinde saw Taishici's last blow hit the coastline and the Pacific water poured into the canal. Masinde knew that they had lost, so the next thing was to see Selyan's arrangement.
Even if Selyan successfully withdrew and the island chain blockade in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean was opened, the Kushan Navy no longer had the ability to suppress the Han navy. Since then, the Han army has trapped the dragon and ascended to heaven, but if Selyan kills Zhou Yu, there will be room for recovery.
Even if this possibility is very slim, Masinde had to expect that this slim hope could be revealed at this time.
"We have not failed yet. Although we have suffered heavy losses, we still have the power to fight again." Nikaya said with a ferocious expression. Until now, he has understood what impact this canal has on the entire Kushan strategy.
"There is no hope. The opponent's legion that used the legion to attack the canal to blast the canal has been freed. The one we had the most hope before did not defeat Kenmayer and Varina." Masind shook his head, but when talking about the two, Masind was inexplicably relieved.
At least the two of them finally found a good home, and it seems that the lord named Sun Ce really trusts them very much.
"Damn traitors, if not them." Bebto said gritting his teeth.
Masinde immediately organized Ye Zhi to transfer all the young and strong people in the north, and then took away all the legions that he kept and headed straight to the Kela Canal, but this plan itself was seen through by Zheng Du.
So the first canal blocked was a camouflage after the widening of a river channel. Zheng Du arranged about 6,000 civilians in that river channel, and pulled Sun Ce, Kenmael and others over, and fought there for three days.
These three precious days made Ma Xinde, who had reacted to being deceived from home, feel powerless to turn things around. After all, before seeing the Wudang Legion, no one would have thought that the Han army built a canal like this.
Zheng Du, who knew that he could not hide anything after breaking the circle, decisively asked Taishi Ci to attack with the legion on the day he broke the circle, but misled the Kushan scouts by conventional digging.
The fact is just as Zheng Du estimated that he only received the Han army digging the canal, but it was impossible to accurately describe where the canal was. After all, the scout who observed the Han army digging the canal and sent the news to Ma Xinde, it was impossible for him to appear next to Ma Xinde.
