...

Such a bright light under the night sky, and of this color, it doesn't look normal no matter how you look at it.

Especially for everyone present, this eye-catching light was so eye-catching that they didn't need to think too much about it, as they all knew that it was the light produced by burning.

But in the Strait of Malacca, what could be burning so fiercely?
"That's not right. The Han Empire's fleet has been expelled by us, and we still left some people in the Strait of Malacca. How could there be a sudden fire? And a fire of this magnitude..." Midieluo's face was full of confusion and puzzlement.

They had clearly won the battle and killed the enemy, but when they turned around and went home, their home became like this. How could they be in a good mood?
You know, in order to prevent accidents and for better reconstruction later, Cecilien had left behind some people when he left the Strait of Malacca.

On the one hand, he was counting the current damage to the Strait of Malacca, and on the other hand, he was gathering the remaining supplies and waiting for his return to resupply and replenish the fleet.

Especially for the navy, the supply of food and water resources is very important and is also life-threatening logistics.

Without food and fresh water, even someone as strong as Cecicelian would have no way to solve this dilemma.

Han Xin and Bai Qi were so brave that they would not fight without food. Without food, even Han Xin and Bai Qi did not think they could command the soldiers to fight.

How many soldiers can obey orders when they are hungry or even have nothing to eat?
"Speed ​​up, prepare to put out the fire, and rescue food!" After a brief recovery, Cecicelian gave the order with a grim face.

You should know that after resupplying from the Bay of Bengal, Cecilien's Thousand-Sail Fleet never received any more supplies.

The original plan was to seize the Strait of Malacca and then use the Han army's supplies and food in the Strait of Malacca for replenishment.

As a result, the Strait of Malacca was taken and the Han army was defeated and expelled, but as for supplies, it was hard to say.

“If all the supplies in the Strait of Malacca are burned, then if we want to resupply, we must return to the Bay of Bengal, and we must go quickly…” Kapil felt what liver pain was like at this moment.

Everything was going smoothly and successfully, so why were they so anxious now?
After all, it is because their ships are too small, and the materials and water resources they can store can only support their lives for about two months. Especially in a state of war, this time will be further compressed.

From this perspective, the large ships of the Han Empire did not have such a problem.

At least with the food and water resources stored by the Han Empire fleet, with a relatively small number of people, there would be no problem in maintaining a state of war for more than half a year.

There is no way, the advantages brought by the size of the ship are so obvious and excellent.

This is also one of the reasons why Cecicelian, who witnessed all this, decided to rebuild the fleet.

If his fleet was the same as that of the Han Empire, even if it only had a thousand sails, he would be able to bury the enemy this time, even if he failed to bury them the first time on the battlefield.

You can also continue to chase until the opponent is completely buried.

Inserting the sword in his hand into the ground, Taishi Ci looked at the burning fire in front of him. Even though he was hundreds of meters away, he could still feel the scorching temperature and couldn't help but sigh.

The ability to burn so perfectly was also due to the military formation left behind by Zhou Yu, which further enhanced the efficiency of the burning.

According to the goal set at the beginning, Taishi Ci led his own marines and would not conduct boarding operations, but would stay in the forest north of the Strait of Malacca, waiting for the opportunity to do his best. If everything went well, Taishi Ci, who stayed in this place, would take on the task of blocking the escape of the Kushan Empire.

Take over the Strait of Malacca, attack from both sides, and completely annihilate the Kushan Empire's fleet here.

Of course, all of this is just a beautiful imagination. The reality made Taishi Ci give up on carrying out such a plan.

"Failed!" Taishi Ci looked at the war eagle in his hand, and did not take out the letter. Instead, he looked at the color of the war eagle's legs, and he knew that Zhou Yu's plan had failed.

Taishi Ci didn't even dare to think about the consequences if the plan failed.

It was better for him to stay on land. Normally, when he retreated, he would just run to the mountains in the north.

Thanks to the advance preparations and planned routes, there would be no problem whether running to the Bay of Bengal area or to Nichinan County.

But what about the navy?
Taishi Ci didn't dare to imagine what kind of blow his own navy must have suffered to be able to send such a message in this way.

However, even so, Taishi Ci continued to carry out the tasks assigned by Zhou Yu before his departure, and tried his best to complete them.

There were a lot of supplies stored in the Strait of Malacca. They originally thought that they could still win, so naturally they had no intention of destroying these supplies.

However, just in case, Taishi Ci moved the supplies in the Strait of Malacca to the north of the Strait of Malacca, so that if such a situation arises, he would still have the ability to destroy these supplies and create an uninhabited area.

"Burn it!" Taishi Ci looked at the soldiers around him, waved the flag in his hand, and conveyed a very uncomfortable order.

As this order was issued, the raging fire that had already started, without any simple obstruction or human guidance, quickly spread to another area.

No matter how much supplies are stored here, if this land is not in their hands, every piece of supplies will just be the enemy's spoils of war.

"General, what should we do with these prisoners?" As a member of the Marine Corps, especially Bai Ying who served as a deputy most of the time, pointed at the prisoners in the distance and asked how to deal with them.

Taishi Ci looked in the direction of the gesture and saw the soldiers from the Kushan Empire.

These very outstanding naval soldiers, after leaving their ships and reaching the land, faced the marines led by Taishi Ci, especially when they were ambushed by Taishi Ci.

Before they even had time to react, the soldiers of the Kushan Empire fleet who were organizing the Malacca Strait suffered a devastating blow.

The leading general didn't even have time to say a word before he was taken away by Taishi Ci, who took advantage of the momentum of the large army.

Then, with lightning speed, they completely destroyed the organizational framework of these soldiers.
