Chapter 6703: The plan to win failed!
Chapter 6703: The plan to win failed!
On the coast of Sumatra Island, Sun Ce led the Changshui Camp, Shesheng Camp, and an entire fully-strength Legion of the Will Guard, and his face was very ugly.
The self-circulating system of heaven and earth essence-cloud energy did indeed greatly increase the density of heaven and earth essence around it, allowing the combat effectiveness of Sun Ce's elite headquarters to steadily soar, but it did not reach the level when facing Celian. In other words, it was strengthened, but not to the level of being able to defeat the Kushan navy by relying on the army. This was completely different from the situation when they encountered Celian using self-circulation in Fuso.
"No, although the density of the heaven and earth essence is rising rapidly, the self-circulation system has not collapsed. The heaven and earth essence has been drawn to the maximum extent over there, causing the heaven and earth essence around to rise several times, but it is not enough to support the elite troops of the Han army to burst out with the ultimate combat power." Pang Tong said with a gloomy face, "This is a huge difference from our previous estimate."
"The last time in Fuso, it was because a part of Celian's self-circulation system had collapsed, and the huge amount of energy that had been gathered before leaked out, which gave it that exaggerated combat power. Now, all the energy is gathering there, and we can't rush over!" Wen Pin said with a grim expression. In this situation, standing on the shore and watching, no problem can be solved.
"We can't get through. I'm afraid Meng Kangbu has discovered the shortcomings of the self-circulation system and has optimized it. The Kushans are not fools. If they find a problem, they will definitely find a way to make up for it." Zheng Du said calmly, "Although I think there will be new problems with this method of using self-circulation, at least at this time, the leakage of heaven and earth essence outside the self-circulation has been greatly reduced."
The self-circulation of the early Celian era had a fatal flaw: this method of extracting the essence of heaven and earth would gather a huge amount of the essence of heaven and earth, but the spiritual will that controlled the essence of heaven and earth had considerable problems in terms of scale and purity, resulting in enemy forces with different wills entering this range and using this system to obtain huge amounts of the essence of heaven and earth to enhance their own combat effectiveness.
This amplification will be greater than the amplification caused by the self-loop, so when using the self-loop, you generally won't get too close to the enemy to avoid being exploited by the opponent. After all, when the self-loop is turned on, the power at the level of one's own will is also used to construct the self-loop.
The result is that when enemy forces with different wills use this power in this area, they will not only gain the blessing of nature, but also borrow their own power.
Theoretically speaking, when the self-circulation is activated at sea, the enemy forces affected are actually strengthened. However, due to the distance problem, their strength may only be strengthened by a few percent, or even one or two times. They are then hit by the opponent's iron fist and die before they have time to exert their strength.
This is also the logic that if one side activates self-circulation, the other side must also activate self-circulation, because if they don't, they will die. In the era when the seventh-generation ships have not yet come out, no warship can withstand the opponent's ultra-long-range bombing with self-circulation activated. Even if it is a super-large fleet, using group defense and calling on the seawater buffer layer for defense, the self-circulation is just like folding a paper in half.
With this sudden increase in combat power, the enemy will be dead in a short period of time, let alone the improvement brought by one or two talents. Even if you increase it three or five times, the enemy will still be dead.
By the way, this is also the reason why Moncomb never activates the self-loop when he meets Gan Ning, because if the self-loop is activated, Gan Ning will be wiped out with just a wave of his hand. The power of this thing is so great that the aftermath can kill the opponent, so even if Celian knew about this shortcoming earlier, he didn't have much idea of optimizing it. On the one hand, it was because he was old, and on the other hand, it was meaningless.
Optimization is bullshit! No matter what kind of enemy it is, it will die under this move!
As for going ashore, Celian's army itself was not very good, and they did not consider going ashore and fighting others, so when they discovered this shortcoming later, they had no idea of adjusting. After all, he was no longer the young man who wanted to do everything to the best of his ability and was proud.
You are already in your seventies or eighties, and it’s enough to face the reality.
But Meng Kangbu is different. Ever since he learned about the incident with Fuso, when the Han army relied on the army's arrows to launch powerful attacks against the coastal defense artillery, he has tried his best to make up for the loopholes in the self-circulation.
Although until now, this loophole has not been filled from the foundation of self-circulation, and relying on other means to suppress it has not been able to completely solve the problem, but the Han Dynasty wants to use the archer corps to launch a coastal artillery-level attack just by relying on the aftermath of self-circulation as before. That is really too much to think.
"Increase the firing rate!" Meng Kangbu gave the order while directing the fleet to rush towards Zhou Yu.
At this time, the front of the Kushan Empire was almost completely covered by blazing white, and the Han Dynasty's naval camp in front could not be seen at all. However, the special reconnaissance secrets allowed Meng Kangbu to more or less determine that the navy commanded by Zhou Yu in front was desperately using self-circulation to mobilize various defense structures to resist his attacks.
"General, the firing rate can't be increased any further. The air track distortion in the bottom cabin can no longer withstand this cycle. Once the cycle stagnates, the accumulated force may cause the circulation system to collapse." Bebuto roared with a ferocious face.
"Then bombard the Han army's camp hard at the maximum rate of fire. I want to see how long Zhou Yu can hold out!" Upon hearing this, Meng Kangbu changed the order immediately and ordered the fleet to fire a continuous flood-like thunder attack in the direction of Zhou Yu at the highest rate of fire.
Zhou Yu was very strong, and he was able to fully master the self-circulating system after just a few encounters. Even if it was true that Celian indulged himself and there was no special encryption and protection of intelligence, the fact that he could master and learn it so quickly was itself a reflection of his qualifications.
To be honest, there is indeed a half-level difference between Montcomb and Zhou Yu, but the gap in naval commander can be made up by ships, the naval soldiers' mastery of skills and tactics, and the elite level of the naval soldiers, just like Zhou Yu killed Celian back then.
Even now Zhou Yu cannot be said to have completely surpassed Celian in terms of skills and tactics, but this does not prevent Zhou Yu from killing Celian. No matter whether it is the old man or other various strange tactics, the winner is impeccable.
On the other hand, people like Meng Kangbu believed from the beginning that Zhou Yu was not dead and dared to challenge Zhou Yu head-on. He was truly determined to kill Zhou Yu.
It was not Zhu Helai who convinced Meng Kangbu, but Meng Kangbu himself. Because in the current situation, Meng Kangbu also realized that even if Zhou Yu faked his death, this was the best opportunity to kill Zhou Yu. On the eve of Zhou Yu and the seventh-generation ships not yet reunited, if he seized the opportunity to kill Zhou Yu, based on the paper data of the seventh-generation ships that their Kushan had obtained, Meng Kangbu really had some way to deal with it.
But if they don't kill Zhou Yu now, even if the paper data of the seventh-generation ships are somewhat exaggerated, as long as they are combined with Zhou Yu, it will be difficult for them, the Kushans, to resist the combination of the two.
So this might be Zhou Yu's chance to deceive them, and also their chance to really kill Zhou Yu. After all, it would be best if Zhou Yu really died. If he didn't die, as long as the other party had plans, Malacca's naval power would be diluted anyway.
In other words, Zhou Yu at most wanted to destroy the Kushan Empire in its present, but Meng Kangbu had thought about it carefully for a long time and wanted to destroy the Han Dynasty in its present and future!
Compared to Zhou Yu who was just looking for compensation after being assassinated, Meng Kangbu really thought about all the situations he might face, and then with the awareness of dying in battle, he brought the main force of the Kushan navy to destroy Zhou Yu who might be alive, and the Han Dynasty's naval base in Malacca.
"General, the outer defense etching has disintegrated due to overload!" Cai Mao, who failed to retreat, immediately reported what they observed to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu had a blank expression on his face. He had realized at this time that Meng Kangbu came with the intention of destroying the Malacca naval camp, and even destroying himself. The other party was not at all surprised by his appearance, nor did he appear to be alive. Meng Kangbu fought a few times and then quickly retreated. The other party was really determined to kill the Malacca navy right here, as well as his attitude.
Even Zhou Yu suspected that Meng Kangbu might not care about Gan Ning's attack on Ceylon Island, nor did he care about losing the so-called strategic key points. The other party was targeting him regardless of whether he was dead or alive, and would definitely create a new situation of turmoil, and then seize the opportunity to destroy him and the Han Dynasty's naval base.
The impermanent attack, like a flood, hit the Han Dynasty's naval camp the moment Meng Kangbu appeared. Even though Zhou Yu activated the self-circulation at the first moment and further strengthened various defense structures, facing such continuous attacks comparable to those of ordinary naval guns, it was definitely a question of how long Zhou Yu could command his new navy to last.
To be honest, if Meng Kangbu continued to attack like this, he could even wear Zhou Yu out. After all, the naval soldiers under Zhou Yu were several levels behind the elite Kushan navy under Meng Kangbu!
"Sure enough, we should not underestimate any opponent. The best choice is to quit while we are ahead." Zhou Yu looked at the first layer of defense structure completely collapsed, along with the ripples on the second layer of defense structure formed like raindrops falling into the water, and muttered to himself with a tingling scalp.
It is impossible to launch a counterattack, because in the current situation, Zhou Yu and the newbies cannot completely defend against Meng Kangbu's fatal attack, which has exhausted all the energy of his officers. Even if Zhou Yu still has some strength to spare, his soldiers no longer have the basis to execute another order at the same time.
In other words, if they were to attack now, the defensive gap caused by the change of orders alone would be enough for Meng Kangbu to use the current attack to kill everyone including Zhou Yu. Moreover, unlike the previous accidental incident with Zhou Yu, this one was a direct attack to destroy Zhou Yu's body and soul, and not even a trace of him could be found. Meng Kangbu really came here to kill Zhou Yu.
The inability to change orders means that Zhou Yu cannot poke a big hole in Meng Kangbu's self-circulating system, creating an opportunity for the archers and will army prepared by Jiangdong to defeat Meng Kangbu. With the little bit of essence of heaven and earth that has been leaked at present, before Meng Kangbu beats Zhou Yu and his subordinates to death, the Jiangdong army on the shore is not enough to pose a threat to the Kushans.
"Something seems to be wrong. Gongjin seems to have no choice but to defend himself." After Meng Kangbu's crazy attack for a while, Sun Ce finally realized that it was not that Zhou Yu was not resisting and waiting for an opportunity, but that Meng Kangbu completely suppressed Zhou Yu, even to the point where Zhou Yu was unable to resist.
Zhuge Jin and Zheng Du looked at each other, their faces turned extremely ugly. They were both rational people, the kind who hoped that Zhou Yu would stop while he was ahead, but Zhou Yu insisted on winning.
However, in this situation, Zhuge Jin and Zheng Du both shuddered. If they failed, it would be like failing in hell. This was no joke.
"Shi Yuan!" Zhang Zhao also realized that something was wrong at this time. He was actually one of those who knew to quit while he was ahead. However, Zhuge Jin, Zheng Du, Pang Tong, and even Jia Kui had all suggested that Zhou Yu should quit while he was ahead. But Zhou Yu looked like he was still unsatisfied after winning so much, and he had to win more. Zhang Zhao had no idea what to do but to let Zhou Yu enjoy himself first.
But what is the situation now? He had won huge victories before and had won countless chips. If Zhou Yu was defeated by Meng Kangbu here, all the victories would be nonsense and all the chips would have to be returned. It would be a complete defeat.
Even if Zhou Yu's side was defeated, even if Gan Ning drove the seventh-generation ships to capture Ceylon Island, he would have to give it up, even all the seventh-generation ships would have to give it up.
The seventh-generation ship is invincible and is blocked in the Indian Ocean. Montcomb is persistent, even if he can't take down the seventh-generation ship in terms of strength. When the resources of the seventh-generation ship are exhausted...
To be more direct and put it in an extreme way, the seventh-generation ship's fresh water resources will be used up and the seventh-generation ship will be dragged to death. So what if the ship is invincible? Without people driving it, it is just a large vehicle.
Zhang Zhao's scalp tingled just thinking about this. If things really came to that, it would not be a matter of a major defeat, but a matter of a strategic explosion.
As for the problem of the whole ship's flight that Zhou Yu mentioned before, in the current situation, Zhou Yu can't even switch to the self-circulation state and launch an attack. He can only defend and hold on. What's the point of flying? If Zhou Yu dares to stop for a second and fly away, the entire army will be destroyed. Meng Kangbu's current firing rate is obviously to kill all enemies who have other unnecessary ideas, forcing the opponent to hold on and die!
Anyway, there are only two people in the world who can use self-looping, so what's the point of talking? I'm going to study you specifically to see how you use self-looping, analyze your personality traits and operating methods, come up with targeted means, and then beat you to death!
When you had the backbone of the main force, even if I had come up with these things, I would not be able to use them, after all, the foundation was there. But now your backbones are all dead, and only a group of entry-level sailors who have just been on board for two years are left. If I don’t send you off now, when will I? Die, Zhou Yu!
Zhang Zhao's loud roar at Pang Tong attracted Pang Tong's attention.
"Mobilize, mobilize now!" Zhang Zhao roared at Pang Tong, "The commander-in-chief can't hold on any longer. Once the commander-in-chief collapses, Meng Kangbu will turn the ship around and we will be completely defeated."
"It's not finished yet." Pang Tong said after a long silence.
Just as the Han Dynasty relied on mountains, rivers and rivers to build the first level of the Nine-Layered Heaven, the Kushan Empire relied on the Ganges to build the supermodel cloud core, and Rome relied on the Mediterranean to build a fantasy land far away from the world.
During these years in Jiangdong, Pang Tong's main job was to rely on the characteristics of Malacca connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and to use the water veins and seabed veins to establish the Xuanxiang with the nature of the earth veins to protect Jiangdong.
This unfinished Xuanxiang is called the Sea Eye·Shaohao Ruins. Of course, this is an unfinished version. With Pang Tong's current manpower and resources, it will probably take eleven or twelve years to fully build it. But even so, the preliminary construction in Malacca has been completed.
Now Zhang Zhao’s meaning was very clear. He wanted Pang Tong to use this strength to forcibly drag Meng Kangbu and use the power of the ocean tides to suppress Meng Kangbu.
"I know it's not completed, but we can always do it if we buy time." Zhang Zhao looked at Pang Tong and asked.
"Too strong, I'm not sure, and Meng Kangbu's tactics are very targeted at the governor. Plus, now that things have come to this point, I don't think Meng Kangbu will be unprepared for the Xuanxiang earth vein. You know, even we are on guard against the ground stakes nailed by the Kushans in the Ganges." Pang Tong said with a very ugly expression. He saw it more clearly than Zhang Zhao that Meng Kangbu's tactics were completely aimed at Zhou Yu.
In other words, Meng Kangbu probably didn't believe that Zhou Yu had faked his death. Under such circumstances, Meng Kangbu, who came with this belief, was not prepared to deal with the killer move prepared by Jiangdong in Malacca...
Well, for a fleet with self-circulation, it is not a killer move. After all, the unfinished earth vein Xuanxiang, even if it is strong, is also limited. If the Ruins of Shaohao is really completed, just the tidal suppression force of the Pacific Ocean will be something that even Montcomb, who can use self-circulation, will have to consider.
"Self-destruct." Sun Ce turned his head and spoke coldly. Pang Tong said no more after hearing that. He still had a lot of reasons to explain, but since Sun Ce had spoken, he didn't need to explain.
As Pang Tong used a special magic circle to activate the Earth Vein Xuan Xiang, Meng Kangbu felt something unusual. From the fluctuation of the essence of heaven and earth and some strange phenomena before the magic circle was activated, Meng Kangbu completely confirmed the existence of the Earth Vein Xuan Xiang.
Such a big commotion even allowed the Kushans to lock onto some energy nodes. With Meng Kangbu's current fleet output capability, if necessary, he could detonate these nodes on the spot and suppress the operation of the Xuanxiang Earth Vein with small-scale explosions.
However, not only did Meng Kangbu not try to suppress it, but he ordered others to ignore the unusual movement of Xuan Xiang, the Han Dynasty's land vein, and to attack Zhou Yu with all their strength. He then rushed towards Zhou Yu at full speed, as if he wanted to blow him and Zhou Yu to death together.
I am lying down, feeling that there are a lot of things to do during the holidays. Sigh, fellow book lovers, if you have time, please remember to participate in the 10th anniversary activities. If you cannot enter the activity group, just join the main group and ask the administrator Xiaozhi.
