Chapter 6697 Bringing Jiawan
Chapter 6697 Armored Hundred Thousand
Galan stared in amazement as Ansar disappeared on the coastline without any reaction or preparation. Such a swift and terrifying attack was beyond Galan's expectations.
To be honest, Galan considered that Ansar could not defeat Zhou Yu. After all, that was Zhou Yu. But Galan still had a reorganized fleet, a large number of coastal defense artillery, and various messy defense equipment built by Moncomb based on Ceylon Island.
Considering that Ansar, as the current patriarch of the Ceci family, is one of the strongest naval commanders after Zhou Yu and Montcomb, it is true that he could not defeat Zhou Yu and Montcomb, but the fact that he was killed in an instant was indeed beyond Galan's expectations.
Losing was normal in Galan's eyes, but being killed in seconds was totally unbelievable. After all, that was the current patriarch of the Ceci family and a well-known naval commander in the world. It was as if the other party stepped on an unknown object on the way to the destination and was crushed to death without even seeing it.
"This is impossible!" Galan said with a bit of madness. The damage inflicted by the Han army before was too exaggerated, so exaggerated that Galan didn't even know how to resist such a thing.
The seventh-generation ship is a top-level warship built by the Han Dynasty to deal with the naval advantage of the Kushan Empire. It surpasses all previous ship designs, and all its attributes surpass other warships in all aspects. Its naval guns have unparalleled output capabilities, and it can be called a fleet-destroying machine. The Kushan Empire must follow up in this regard, otherwise it is very likely to be eliminated.
Naturally, the actual combat report of the seventh-generation ships that was sent back by the spies arranged by the Kushans in the Han Dynasty at the risk of their lives appeared in Galan's mind. As the patriarch of the Sethi family, Ansar naturally saw the original of this secret report. When Ansar saw it, Galan naturally saw it as well.
It’s just that the power they thought it had at that time and the power it has now are completely different things.
The Kushans believed that as long as they had an excellent naval commander and relied on special secret techniques such as group defense, cloud protection structure, seawater buffer layer, etc., they would have time to deal with it even if they were hit, and the most they would suffer would be a shipwreck. After all, the Kushan warships had undergone a lot of modifications and their attributes in all aspects had been greatly improved. Coupled with the ship's defensive etching, the strength of the ships had been greatly improved. In the Kushans' view, even if the Han Dynasty's technology had improved, it would not be so exaggerated.
However, the fact is, there is no need to hit you at all. The aftermath alone is enough to destroy the fleet of the excellent Kushan naval commander. Without the super defensive capability provided by the self-circulation, all beings are basically equal under the energy attack of the seventh-generation ships.
As for defensive etching, the Han Dynasty is not sure whether the Kushans have developed a secret technique to deal with defensive etching. But since the seventh-generation ships have the ability to dissociate energy attacks and convert them into the essence of heaven and earth for absorption and charging, what special properties do the naval guns fired by the seventh-generation ships have?
Etching dissociation is the key factor that allows the seventh-generation ships to almost crush other ships.
Lu Jun, Zheng Hun, Ma Jun and others all believed that compared to those fancy things, the seventh-generation ships only needed two attack modes, one was a simple and crude energy attack that treated all beings equally, and the other was a point-to-point kinetic high-explosive attack. All other attack methods could be abandoned.
But in order to make the former truly play its due role, the energy attack of the seventh-generation ship has a devastating effect on normal ships.
Chaos disintegration destroys all structures related to the essence of heaven and earth. In order to maximize the power of this effect, the seventh-generation ship's guns themselves will be affected by such attacks. It's just that the seventh-generation ship itself has a stronger carrying capacity and a special energy restraint system. As long as it does not fire dozens of times at high speed, the guns will at most suffer some ablation.
But for opponents who bear this impact head-on, it means that a large number of defense systems will collapse directly, and they can only rely on the structure to withstand this attack.
The quality of Kushan warships was indeed very good, and even in terms of wooden ships, they were not inferior to those of the Han Dynasty. Special wood processing technology, special strengthening techniques, special warming methods, etc., combined made the strength of Kushan warships reach the level of steel.
However, even if the strength of the Kushan warships reached the level of steel, it was only the most basic defense in the face of the current intensity of naval warfare. The Han and Kushan could withstand those extraordinary attacks thanks to various group defenses, cloud structures, and special ship etching activations.
In other words, compared with these protective layers formed by the essence of heaven and earth relying on special etching, the structural strength of the battleship itself is nothing.
However, the seventh-generation ship's guns, when using energy strikes, have the special effect of directly destroying the protective layer formed by the ship relying on the essence of heaven and earth.
In this way, the attack that originally seemed impossible to directly destroy the fleet was enough to take away the entire fleet if it hit the fleet.
Given the current naval attack strength, relying on the fleet's own defense? What a joke, even if a lot of special technologies were used to make the wood's strength reach an astonishing level, without the protection formed by the essence of heaven and earth, a wave secret technique would shatter the ship.
"Extract my memory, seal it in a secret method, and let the Swift Eagle send it to Mathura. The seventh-generation ships of the Han army have appeared!" Galan was even a little panicked at this moment. The strength of the seventh-generation ships made him feel a little desperate. How should he fight such an opponent, or to be more direct, what else can the Kushan Navy do against such an opponent.
In fact, it can really do something. At least the energy attack of the seventh-generation ships can hardly affect the fleet with self-circulating protection, and cannot break the ship protection brought by the essence of heaven and earth. Although the attack of the seventh-generation ships is a great threat to the Kushan fleet, it is not too fatal.
This is why the attacks of the seventh-generation ships are divided into energy attacks and physical etched projectile attacks. The former is used to attack Zhou Yu and those below him. According to Lu Jun's estimation, using energy cannons to attack will directly crush them. Basically, anyone who encounters them will die.
But if they encounter Zhou Yu and Meng Kangbu, the energy attack of the seventh-generation ships will still be effective, but it is difficult to achieve the same effect as when facing other fleets. At this time, solid etched projectiles should be used. According to Lu Jun, there is a great possibility of achieving the effect, but because he has never seen self-circulation, he does not know whether it can be removed, but there is no doubt that it will be effective.
Gan Ning didn't quite believe this before, but now he couldn't help but believe it. It seemed that Lu Jun had indeed done something very outrageous this time.
Galan extracted his memory on the spot, sealed it in a special secret method, and sent it to Mathura by a war eagle. Ansar was dead, but at least his sacrifice could not be in vain.
"Everyone disperse into the mountainous area and be mentally prepared to resist the Han Dynasty's landing legions step by step with the help of defense equipment. There is no need to fight to the death. Once the defense line is unstable, quickly retreat to other lines and use the constructed defense facilities!" After Galan passed on the memory, he quickly adjusted his mentality and ordered all the soldiers to retreat to the interior of Ceylon Island, where there are mountains and forests, where the combat effectiveness of the small-scale elite Kushans can be brought to the extreme.
"Let's land. The trouble is coming." When Gan Ning's ship approached Ceylon, Gan Ning still did not encounter any attack, so after stopping, Gan Ning prepared to lead his men to land and prepare to completely occupy Ceylon.
"In fact, it doesn't matter whether there will be trouble later or not." Lu Xun sighed as he stood on the deck, "Ceylon Island has changed hands now."
Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded. Indeed, in the current situation, the Han army has also landed on Ceylon Island, and the strategic fulcrum of Kushan has actually been taken away by the Han Dynasty.
Even if there are still many Kushan soldiers on the island of Ceylon who are resisting the rule of the Han army, what can these Kushan soldiers do without food and reserve personnel?
If Montcombe could not obtain supplies in Ceylon, then even if Ceylon existed, it would not be able to serve as an important fulcrum in the Indian Ocean.
"So what do you mean?" Gan Ning asked Lu Xun. If any other young man gave him, the chief of the navy, instructions and taught him how to do things, Gan Ning would definitely deal with him. But this is Lu Xun, the child he watched grow up, the son of his sworn brother. If the other person said a few words, and what he said made sense, then of course he had to listen.
"We don't have many people in our fleet, just over 20,000. Considering that we have to leave people on the warships, the manpower we can mobilize is actually very limited." Lu Xun said solemnly, "And now that we have actually completed our strategy, we should leave the landing to those stationed in Kunwu Country, whether it's General Taishi, General Xu, or Kou's elite. After all, the number of people in the navy is a bit small."
Lu Xun's suggestion was very correct. If Gan Ning rushed forward with the navy, given the current situation on Ceylon Island, if the enemy did not engage in a head-on fight with Gan Ning but just engaged in a tangle, then even if Gan Ning went back to Moncombe on such an island of several hundred kilometers, he would not be able to wipe out all the people there.
What's more important is that the navy soldiers are actually very valuable. It is difficult to replenish them if they die. Moreover, there is a big difference between land warfare and naval warfare. In Lu Xun's opinion, it is not worth it to waste naval soldiers on Ceylon. It is better to let Kunwu Kingdom bring professional army to the island and then occupy the island directly.
In this way, on the one hand, the Han Dynasty would suffer less losses, and on the other hand, the navy could rest and wait for Meng Kangbu's return here. After all, if the defenders of Ceylon were not stupid, they would definitely be trying every means to contact Meng Kangbu, and it would only take about six or seven days for Meng Kangbu to withdraw from Malacca after receiving the news.
During this period, Lu Xun believed that instead of letting Gan Ning lead his troops to strangle the Kushan Army on Ceylon Island, it would be better to let Gan Ning practice the fleet coordination of the seventh-generation ships, and then wait for Meng Kangbu to rush back, and then fight Meng Kangbu with the help of the naval guns on Ceylon Island.
Lu Xun thought that this seventh-generation warship built by his father was so outrageous. Even if he couldn't defeat Meng Kangbu, who had activated the self-circulation in Gan Ning's mouth and claimed to have only one opponent in the world, he could at least fight head-on.
As long as they can engage in a head-on fight and cooperate with the coastal defense artillery, even if Gan Ning cannot defeat Meng Kangbu, at least he can escape safely. This is the best opportunity to test the strength of the seventh-generation ship.
"Is that so." Gan Ning touched his chin and thought for a long time, then nodded. Indeed, what Lu Xun said made a lot of sense. If he landed now, he could only mobilize tens of thousands of people at most. After all, a lot of people had to be left on the ship to prevent the other party from sneaking in at night to seize the ship.
To be honest, it is unrealistic for a navy of tens of thousands of people to wipe out the Kushan army of tens of thousands of people on a large island like Ceylon with tens of thousands of square kilometers. What's more, a certain point Lu Xun made is very important. The mature navy of the Han Dynasty is very precious and cannot be wasted in vain.
"I have already informed Ziyi and the others. They should be preparing now." Gan Ning nodded and decisively gave up the landing. He was still very obedient to advice. After all, he could still distinguish right from wrong.
"General, the Han army's ships have left." After Gan Ning changed his strategy and led his men away, the Kushan lookout quickly passed the message to Galan. When Galan heard this, his brows frowned. He was a smart man, so when he received this news, he understood the caution of the Han navy. This was going to be a large group of Han army landing.
If a large group of Han army landed, Ceylon would be impossible to defend.
"Ziyi, how are the manpower preparations going!" Gan Ning flew down from the seventh-generation ship, looked at Taishi Ci and said with a smile, "This time we have to rely on you to take the lead. Ceylon Island is too big, and the enemy's army has retreated into the mountains and forests. They are not fighting us. They are most likely preparing to fight guerrilla warfare with us. There are only a hundred people in the team. We are still far behind the Kushans, so this time it will be quite troublesome."
"You have captured the fleet of Ceylon. The Kushan army is trapped on an isolated island. What do you have to worry about? I have asked Xu Wenxiang to organize the army of Kunwu Kingdom. I will trouble you to transport it over when the time comes." Taishi Ci said with a smile. The Kushan navy had been defeated. What was there to panic about? Even if the army on the opposite island was powerful, what could it do?
They will still be caught and wiped out!
"How many land forces are left in Kunwu Kingdom?" Gan Ning asked curiously. He had heard before that Kunwu Kingdom had a large number of land forces, especially after the death of the former Shangxiang Marquis, the land forces of Kunwu Kingdom had been increasing at an alarming rate.
"Probably still a few hundred thousand." Taishi Ci thought for a while and said.
After the battle of Qunu City ended, the Dalit spearmen did not leave. Kou Jun was quite satisfied with these Dalits who had obviously been trained and learned the advanced infantry drill. In addition, his own Kunwu Kingdom was located on the coast and could support so many people. So Kou Jun made a wish to the Dalits, saying that if the Dalits wanted to come to Kunwu Kingdom in the future, they could come at any time. As long as they entered Kunwu Kingdom, they would be free citizens, and land would be distributed after they were registered as citizens.
After all, Kou Jun was one of the three Dalit kings, and his performance in Kusumapura and when he died in battle were completely consistent with the Dalits' understanding of a king. Especially when he died in battle, those Dalits who followed Kou Jun were willing to protect Kou Jun with their lives until their entire army was wiped out, which greatly shocked those Dalits who retreated.
After all, they were very clear about the situation of people like them, and since they were willing to do this for another person, the other party was naturally trustworthy in all aspects. So after the Battle of Kusumapura, those Dalits who attacked the Kushan Kingdom fled to the Kunwu Kingdom one after another.
The Grand Princess of Yiyang didn't quite understand all this, but she continued Kou Jun's policies, and compared to when Kou Jun was alive, she discriminated against everyone equally. After Kou Jun died, the Grand Princess of Yiyang lived in seclusion, and the Dalits never saw her and didn't feel any discrimination at all.
So two years later, all the Dalits who participated in the Battle of Kusumapura that year, as long as they were still alive, basically ran here. These people had all been truly trained, had certain practical combat capabilities, and had even been on the battlefield and seen blood.
Compared with the Kushan native land, even if there were some wise men of Dalit origin trained by the previous king Guo Si to lead these people, ordinary Dalits could only have food to eat at most. This is also the reason why those Dalits who have been trained are actually not strong.
After arriving in Kunwu Kingdom, Kou Jun, with the attitude of "live by the mountain, live by the mountain; live by the sea, live by the sea", built a fishery first, even though the shipyard had not been built yet. Relying on large-scale fishing and wholesale of five-color rice from the country, he made five-color rice seafood porridge, a real blood-replenishing food, and quickly raised this group of trained Dalits.
Different from the Dalits who suffered serious losses in the early years, these Dalits who were able to undergo training were all relatively healthy guys who followed the will of the previous king and were carefully selected from the Dalits. Of course, to be realistic, they were still young when they were selected, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they still had time to replenish their nutrition, and their roots were not completely rotten.
Now with the five-color rice and seafood porridge, as well as fish meat to supplement protein, these hundreds of thousands of Dalits who have been trained have finally reached the basic level of regular soldiers within two years.
In other words, although Kou Jun died, his death brought a solid foundation to the Kunwu Kingdom. In addition, Kou Feng brought Dalit to fight together and severely consumed Meng Kangbu. Although the road to crowning was not completed, he was able to successfully inherit Dalit's trust in Kou Jun.
Two years later, although Kunwu Kingdom had an unbalanced gender ratio, it did have more than 100,000 armored soldiers.
"So Kou Feng means to directly mobilize 90,000 regular soldiers and 5,000 sharp soldiers to Ceylon Island?" Gan Ning took a deep breath after receiving the message from Kunwu Kingdom. What a bullshit! How many people of Kushan on Ceylon Island can withstand such a blow?
Everyone, remember to participate in the event. There are more than 8,000 people with a fan value of 60,000. Not even one-tenth of them are participating in the event now. There are still a lot of vacancies. If you can't jump, just join a reader group and find Xiaozhi.
