God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Under such a high-risk situation, Lu Su finally agreed to Zhou Yu's ideas and requests.

"If you can't face your opponent directly, don't understand his background, and only rely on hearsay, it will be difficult to persevere..." Lu Su said with a painful expression.

If what others said was true, then the opponent they faced must be a difficult one to defeat, and their final result could only be described as having given their best efforts.

Whether we win or lose, we will have to compete to know.

However, being able to accept such unknowns does not mean that we are not prepared for the next step.

As a top wise man, even if his expertise is not in the military field, Lu Su's military level is still first-class in the world today, and he will naturally make corresponding preparations to deal with possible wars in the future.

It can be said that in this regard, after the thoughts were unified, relevant orders and guidance had been issued.

People like Sun Ce and Gan Ning, as among the highest commanders of the naval fleet, would naturally receive similar information.

It can be said that after the information and commands were unified, the Han Empire's naval forces in the Strait of Malacca had already begun preparations for combat.

Preparations for these operations involved all aspects, including both the army and the navy. It can be said that from top to bottom, everyone was filled with enthusiasm and confidence.

Zhou Yu and Meng Kangbu, who knew the matter inside out, had different views on the outcome of the matter, one of whom didn't know what the chance of winning was, and the other who knew that there was no chance of winning at all.

"You have a group of very good soldiers and very advanced ships, but unfortunately, as the people in control, the gap is too obvious..." With no one stopping him, Montcomb could pay attention to the layout and arrangements of the entire port, and when Gan Ning approached, he expressed his evaluation.

"In the past few days, you have been talking about how powerful Cecicelian is. I don't think you are lying, but after knowing how powerful the other party is, won't you face him?" Gan Ning said this calmly with a carefree look on his face.

Everyone can play a game with an advantage, but a game with a disadvantage tests a person's will and character even more.

"You can burn everything here and then retreat from this place. Cecicelian's own condition means that he cannot pursue too far..." Montcomb, who thought that Gan Ning and others had no way out, directly gave a temporary suggestion and plan.

The Kushan Empire's naval fleet led by Cecilien actually also had a corresponding fatal flaw, a flaw that Montcomb had never discovered before.

That is, the fleet ships themselves have a load limit.

For previous fleets, they could resupply at any port in the Indian Ocean, so there was no need to worry about supply problems.

After all, the Indian Ocean is simply the back garden of the Kushan Empire, so there is no situation where supplies cannot be obtained.

But if we lose the Strait of Malacca, there will be completely different options for the areas east of the Strait of Malacca.

Without a nautical chart and with an unknown future ahead, how long can they pursue the enemy with only one month's worth of supplies on the ship?
Montcomb himself supported Cecilien's dominance over the ocean and firmly believed in it.

But this does not mean that Cecicelian also has such dominance in the army. Once entering the territory of the Han Empire, as long as there is no way to obtain supplies in a short period of time, the cost of annihilation will increase significantly.

The ocean certainly provides food, but how long can this food capture and salvage sustain a fleet that makes a living by fighting?

Just as Montcomb had confidence in Cecilien's maritime dominance, he also had great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Han Empire's army.

The fact that the people in the north remember it so much and keep it in mind at least proves one thing, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Han Empire’s army is definitely higher than that of the Northern Gui.

Cecilien couldn't defeat the northern army back then, so how could he defeat the Han Empire's army?
There are indeed troops in the Cecilien Fleet that perform land combat duties in the navy fleet, but there are only one or two legions. Under normal circumstances, they are responsible for obtaining supplies after the ships dock.

No matter what method is used, as long as you can get the supplies, it's fine.

Just from this positioning, we can understand the combat effectiveness of these army corps. With this as the foundation and support, how much combat effectiveness can they exert?
"Really?" Gan Ning was quite surprised to hear this unexpected information, and then he began to prepare to deal with this matter.

Although this method would certainly interrupt Zhou Yu's construction of the Strait of Malacca, it is undeniable that using this method, even if the Strait of Malacca is lost now, it would be much easier to take it back in the future when one has the ability.

On the other side, Cecicelian, who had just finished replenishing supplies at the port in the Bay of Bengal, listened to the orders sent back by the officers beside him and turned his head to look towards the north.

"Has the Han Empire occupied all the areas north of this river?" Although he could not see the specific situation, Cecicelian had a rough estimate of the situation in the north based on the information he had collected.

It can be said that until this time, two plans appeared before Cecilien. One was to go north along the river to clear out and expel the Han Empire's army. The other was to continue south along the coastline to the Strait of Malacca to recover lost territory.

"Reporting to grandfather, it is true!" Feeling the gazes of the people behind him, Kapil had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to answer.

There is no way. There is no member of the family who is not afraid of Cecicelian's momentum.

When no one else dared to answer, only he, the prospective patriarch, came out to take over.

"How strong is the opponent?" Cecicelian turned his head to look at Kapil, thought about the legion that Kapil led, and then asked.

If the enemy's number is not large, Cecicelian would not mind taking his navy to fight a land battle to give his family members some land battle experience.

Of course, this experience is mainly for Kapil. After all, the direction Kapil will take in the future will be completely different from that of other family members.

In the past, it was because of his presence that we were able to fight against those guys in the north.

If he were gone one day, even without him, others would be able to occupy absolute dominance in the navy, but this dominance would not be enough to fight against the people in the north.

The army must also start to move forward, advancing by land and sea, in order to stop the northerners north of the river. (End of this chapter)
