God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Once bitten, twice shy.

Especially for wise people, the memory of success is not so profound, but the memory of failure is still fresh.

The previous coastal landing and pincer attack almost led to a food shortage. Although the worst result did not occur in the end due to Yan Yan's command, it can still serve as a warning to people.

As a response to this situation, it can be said to be very simple and unpretentious.

On the one hand, the food reserves at the western passes were increased to ensure that they could hold out for a longer period of time in the event of a food shortage.

On the other hand, responding to enemies from the ocean has been put on the agenda.

However, without the presence of naval vessels, the countermeasures that Zhang Song and others came up with were basically based on passive defense.

As for active attacks and reconnaissance, after Zhang Song and others studied naval ships, they gave up similar ideas.

I can’t play it. I really can’t play it.

As for the previous navy, Yizhou can still give it a try. After all, it has some big guys supporting it and is not short of corresponding materials.

However, the current naval gameplay and scale have directly made Yizhou and others give up this idea.

If they really have the strength in Yizhou to challenge a navy of this size, they might as well consider how to improve the army's reserve system.

At least the latter is possible, but the former is pure wishful thinking.

After all, they can't even keep control of the ports in the Bay of Bengal, so they know that this matter is unreliable.

The reason is very simple. The Kushan Empire's naval fleet has always needed a port for docking and replenishment.

When the port was in the hands of the Han Empire, the Kushan Empire's navy would launch an attack without hesitation.

The military port with no strategic location could not stop the advance of the Kushan Empire Navy.

As for clearing the countryside, Zhang Song had thought about it, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up the idea.

On the one hand, the demand for the Kushan Empire's naval forces was not high, and they only needed to carry out supplies and would not actually go to the land to occupy and attack.

On the other hand, the Kushan Empire's navy could rely on rivers to go upstream and plunder the heart of the Bay of Bengal region.

Faced with two evils, choose the lesser one, so Zhang Song naturally chose an action that seemed to give in.

Of course, this is only a temporary measure, a mitigation measure.

The long-term measure is to find favorable terrain along the river while loosening the outside and tightening the inside, build a truly permanent fortress, and use the power of mountains and rivers to keep the enemy out.

It can be said that after the construction of Yonggu Fortress is completed, Zhang Song will naturally move all the people in the port city back to the hinterland, so that there will be no one living around the coast.

As for how long it would last, it depended on when the Han Empire's navy gained control of the sea. The reason why Zhang Song did this was very simple, that is, the information he got was more reliable than what was exposed on the surface.

"Navy, I wonder if we will have the opportunity to rebuild this new branch of the military in the future..." Zhang Song recalled the domestic arrangements and divisions, and raised his head to look towards the south, his eyes filled with a little unwillingness, yet so helpless.

Everyone dreams of doing something big, or something that will go down in history, but what can they do if they don’t have the strength?
Each thing is beautiful in itself, but when these things are put together, they are not so beautiful.

Cecicelian had no idea about Zhang Song's regret, or he didn't care at all.

All the so-called means of restricting the navy are just that in Cecilien's view.

If the navy cannot solve the problem, the army will naturally solve it.

If a man as strong as Rahul couldn't defeat this Han army, the navy alone would be useless.

Even if we can significantly suppress the enemy’s coastline, what’s the use if the army cannot defeat it?

It can be said that at the beginning of the third century, the fisheries and maritime trade of each empire were not particularly prosperous, and did not occupy an absolute dominant position among countries, especially for land empires.

So in Cecilien's personal opinion, the navy that has no way to sail its ships to the land can only have a limited deterrent effect.

With the initiative in the ocean, we do have the ability and opportunity to go around and catch the enemy by surprise, but how long can this method last?

No one is a fool, and Cecilien would not think that the Han Empire’s army is a fool.

"Grandfather, are we just leaving like this? Don't you want to help General Rahul?" Kapil thought about the strategies and plans in his mind and asked directly, "As long as General Rahul can bring out enough strength on the front battlefield, the Han Empire army will not be able to control it. We only need to strike casually to bring a heavy price to the other side..."

Completely defeat the Han Empire's army, rebuild the soldiers' faith and combat effectiveness, and then the north and south will attack from both sides and converge on the Strait of Malacca, and victory will be easy to achieve.

Whether from a tactical or strategic perspective, the enemies in the Bay of Bengal pose a higher risk level than those in the Strait of Malacca.

Taking over the Bay of Bengal means that we can directly attack the northern shore of the Strait of Malacca from land and take half of the Strait of Malacca.

"I'm not Rahul. I don't know when he will attack, nor do I know to what extent he will attack. People should not try hard in a direction they are not good at, especially when there are other options..." Cecilyan glanced at Kapil, then looked at the Ceci family members behind Kapil, thought about it, and explained and informed.

After all, there is a huge difference between land warfare and naval warfare. The determination of victory or defeat and stalemate are completely different.

A naval battle can decide the outcome of a war for several years in a single battle, but this cannot be said of a land battle. At least, this situation is unlikely to occur when both sides are very strong.

And the most important point is his own physical condition. Cecicelian has a very clear positioning.

It's okay to fight a naval battle in a short period of time, but if you really have to suppress an army of more than 100,000 to engage in a high-intensity land battle, who knows if you can hold on.

You have to know that even in a naval battle, at this time, Cecilien's control over the fleet has been expanded from every grassroots backbone on the ship when he was young to the ship itself, greatly reducing the number of people who need to be commanded, thereby reducing the burden on the brain.

Cecicelian himself is very clear about the difference between them. (End of this chapter)
