Chapter 4125: this face

"The decisive tactic is not a good one. From the current point of view, the naval artillery salvo should be regarded as a relatively reliable combat tactic. As for winning Celian, in fact, as far as I am concerned, it is not a win." Zhou Yu explained sincerely. Dao, at least Zhou Yu didn't feel that he was stronger than Li An.

To be able to win Celian, in Zhou Yu's opinion, it is more because he has calculated enough, prepared better, and most importantly, Celian is old.

What's more, even if it is the old Celian who is about to go into the ground, if Zhou Yu really wants to face the opponent head-on, Zhou Yu estimates that he can win is a narrow victory. the pinnacle of the navy.

"Do you actually evaluate your country's commander in this way?" Castinus, as a naval captain, still admires Zhou Yu very much, so he was a little upset when he heard what this guy on the opposite side said. Celian's video records, it was really a fight between gods and gods, and all kinds of methods forced Celian to be dead if he didn't have to play.

By the way, in the past two years, this guy admired Celian very much, and he also specially recorded the relevant images and memory records of Celian's wrath of the Han army. Even earlier, Castinus had a high probability as an observation. The regiment went to see Celian.

As a result, Zhou Yu buried Celian at sea before he had time to see Celian, so Castinus' new admirer became Zhou Yu.

"No, I'm just evaluating myself." Zhou Yu said casually.

That victory was a victory that Zhou Yu had planned for a long time, but it was not a victory of naval technology and tactics, but a victory of mental retardation, plus his own strategy, in terms of technology and tactics, even Zhou Yu now dare not guarantee that he can Steady victory over Celian.

More importantly, Celian before his death was not the peak, but when he pressed Zhou Yu for the first time, Celian was barely considered the peak.

Castinus was stunned for a while, then stared at Zhou Yu in a stunned manner, and then quickly remembered the figure he had seen in the battle scene between Celian and Zhou Yu, which was extracted from Kushuang, and after looking at it, Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and because of the distance from the naval battle at that time, the object of the memory retrieval could see Zhou Yu was only a vague image.

But under the contrast of the two, Castinus instantly met the blurred image, yes, this is the new emperor!

This new emperor, His Majesty, is not a joke, but a compliment from the Roman nobles to the top military commander. There is no doubt that Zhou Yu has this qualification.

"Can I lead my subordinates to board your warship as the head of the Roman observation group?" Castinus changed his approach instantly, he wanted Zhou Yu's ship to study!

"We're going to fight against Kushuang. There's a little problem on the battlefield, so we're going to join the war." Zhou Yu didn't really want to bring Castinus there. People didn't have a good past.

"The war between empires and empires is very normal, and I don't mind helping you use naval artillery to attack the opponent's navy." Castinus said without bottom line, anyway, he is not familiar with the Kushan people, as for the observation group It is not important not to observe the regiment, the important thing is to learn these naval warfare techniques.

"Let's wait, this time is really not good." Zhou Yu said with a serious look, "This time involves an extremely important war, so I will pick up Chi Yanghou and the others."

Castinus was very helpless when he saw this. He really wanted Zhou Yu's ship. As for the time to control the naval guns to beat the Kushan Navy or something, Castinus didn't care at all. It won't cause any diplomatic incidents, just listen to it. The core of diplomacy is not what the so-called allies think of you, but whether your strength is strong enough.

The Han Dynasty and Rome are also fighting intermittently. There are tens of thousands of people who died before and after, but this did not affect the trade between the two sides. On the contrary, it made the two sides clearly realize that the scale of the war between them is the upper limit. For example, only so-called local conflicts are possible.

Although this level of conflict is already in danger of subjugation to ordinary countries, just like later generations, for most countries, after purchasing 200 tanks, they can claim to be regional powers. Caused heavy military pressure on nearby countries or something.

But for a real chess player, 200 tanks may only be regarded as a certain front army, or even if it is not good, it is just an addition.

Therefore, sometimes after a fight, the attitude of the two sides will become clearer, and they can also realize where the bottom line of the other side is.

Of course, Castinus may not have thought so far. His idea is very simple. After boarding Zhou Yu's ship, as an orthodox Roman with black hair and black eyes, if Guishang can tell that he is a Roman, he will meet him. Hell, so it doesn't matter at all!

"That's it, then I wish you a successful victory. We want to send an observation team to your warship after a while. Please don't mind at that time." Castinus knew that he couldn't anger this equivalent. For a person at the level of the Duke of Rome, if he offends this time and can't get on the ship next time, there is no way to say it.

"It's nothing. After this time, you can send an observation group to visit at any time." Zhou Yu said with a gentle expression, but Zhou Yu thought that after this battle, did Guishuang have any spare energy to fight? The war behind?

"Zhongshan, you take the captain of Rome to look around, and I'll pick up the Marquis of Chiyang and the others." Zhou Yu and Castinus chatted for a while, got a general understanding of the progress of the Roman Navy, and then confronted his master. book arrangement.

"I'll go with you to meet me. I came here under the order of the elder Vincenlio to send horses to the Marquis of Chiyang and the others." Castinus said with a smile.

"Are the horses on your ship actually prepared for Marquis Chiyang and the others?" Zhou Yu had seen a lot of war horses on the transport ship in Rome before, and had made up his mind, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not worth it, so just gave up.

Fortunately, I didn't do it. If I did, it would be equivalent to robbing the things of Li Jue and the three. To be honest, no one dared to steal the things of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry these days. I'm afraid I'll be beaten too.

"Yes, it was the parting gift that Elder Wingenio and Chi Yanghou agreed to give." Castinus explained with a smile.

Zhou Yu's mouth twitched when he heard the words, even though he thought that there must be other reasons for this, but if it can be said that it was a parting gift, there must be a part of this factor. It can be seen that the three fools are really doing well in Rome. You can get thousands of war horses.

"The quality of this horse looks pretty good." Zhou Yu said suddenly.

In the past, Chen Xi had been pitted for raising horses, and Zhou Yu stopped raising horses. Later, when he arrived in Southeast Asia, he didn’t use horses too much. Therefore, Zhou Yu’s war horses were imported directly from Chen Xi, but now he also has a fief. So I thought that I could do a horse farm or something.

It's just that with the unlucky Yuan family ahead, Zhou Yu felt that it would be better if he was a Jiangnan native, so his current idea was to directly import adult war horses.

"This is a Belshuren horse produced in North Africa, and it is considered to be the best warhorse in overall conditions." Castinus nodded and said, "But this horse does not belong to the elders of Vincenlio and the others, it actually belongs to the first horse. The second eagle flag and the 30th eagle flag."

North Africa is the hometown of Severus, so the horses here belong to these two things, but the Second Eagle Legion does not ride on horses, while the Thirty Eagles do, but they don't use that much. In fact, Rome is completely There is no shortage of top horses, only riders.

"If I want to import war horses from here, do I still need to deal with the Thirty Eagles and Flag Corps?" Zhou Yu made it clear that he was a little interested in this, and he planned to raise horses in Sumatra or Australia. .

"If the number is small, you don't need to look for it, but if the number is large, the Thirty Eagles can't get around, because many horse breeders serve the Thirty Eagles," Castinus explained. Dao, Zhou Yu nodded, and decided to send a caravan to find out about the matter.

In fact, Zhou Yu has already understood the deviation at this time. The so-called small number of Castinus refers to tens of thousands, and the number of large refers to hundreds of thousands. In the former case, Castinus can help himself. Like the 4,000 Belshura horses given to Li Jue this time, it was actually Winchenlio who talked to Racley Lake, and then there was such a thing.

Because the horse breeds have not had time to spread these days, the top war horses are basically in Europe. Rome has a hand of top war horses, but Rome mainly develops heavy infantry, and there is not too much demand for war horses, after all, no matter how good War horses, but the Mediterranean Express heavy infantry.

By the way, the core qualities of Europe's top war horses are actually explosive power, sprinting, and body size. Most of them are inferior to Mongolian horses in terms of endurance. However, the problem is that these top European war horses have basically developed to the same level in serious history. Three times the size of a Mongolian horse.

Just like boxing, you are a hooligan if you don’t lift weight, and you don’t care about heavyweight like sumo in any sport. For war horses, body size is a very important indicator.

"Marquis Chiyang, Elder Vincenlio asked us to send the warhorse over, shall we transfer it to you, or directly transfer it to the transport ship of Governor Zhou?" Castinus looked at Li Jue and greeted the three of them.

"This guy Winchenlio is quite efficient!" Li Jue said with great satisfaction, "First pull the horse down and let us inspect the goods."

Castinus nodded when he saw this, and when Wingenio asked him to come over, he explained that Li Jue was a bit difficult to deal with and might ask for an inspection.

Originally, in Winqinlio's opinion, everyone is a top noble. You are shameless about this matter. I want to be shameless. Qinlio explained a few words to Castinus early on.

Soon, 600 war horses were unloaded from a large transport ship, each with a shoulder height of more than 1.7 meters, and all of them were fat and strong. Li Jue expressed his satisfaction, and then arranged for others to count the war horses. A total of more than 5,000 horses.

From this point of view, Wenqin Leo is really reliable. He is directly configured according to one person and two horses. However, it is a typical operation of three idiots to sell well when it is cheap. Just like now, Li Jue is there. Why is it only more than 5,000, it shouldn't be more than 6,000.

Castinus smiled and said nothing. Anyway, Wingenio said, don't care what Li Jue said, don't care about the guy after the things are delivered, and send him away.

"We also prepared a month's worth of food for the war horses on the transport ship." Castinus said mildly, Li Jue hummed and expressed satisfaction, because there was really no room for nitpicking, although it was really shameless, But reach out and don't hit the smiling face!

"After the inventory is completed, then we will hand over to the Governor Zhou, and send the forage and war horses to the Governor's transport ship." Castinus said respectfully to Zhou Yu.

"Can you lend us the big ships that you transport the war horses first?" Zhou Yu said suddenly, although he also had a transport ship, because he was originally here to pick up people, but his transport ship had no place to transport war horses at all. .

Even if there is extra space, considering that the Jiangdong battleship has no place to carry war horses at all, if it really transports thousands of war horses, it will definitely be a big problem.

At this moment, Li Jue looked at Zhou Yu's eyes and even glowed. He found that Zhou Yu was even more shameless than him. At most, he wanted some war horses, and these war horses were agreed before, but Zhou Yu saw this for the first time and asked him. The other party wants a battleship, which is too outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is that after hearing Zhou Yu's request, Castinus actually began to bow his head and consider it. After all, in Rome, a military commander is a very noble status, and it is worth making friends.

"It's not impossible, but I also ask Governor Zhou to leave a note." Castinus thought about it and felt that it would take a lot of time to drive the horse down, catch up, and then unload the grain and load it. Yes, directly lending the battleship to Zhou Yu can really solve the problem.

It's just that there must be a valid reason for such behavior. Even if the transport ship is not as valuable as the battleship, it still needs a document. This is still due to Zhou Yu's explosive identity.

"Yes, if the ship is not damaged, I will let someone hand over the rental fee. If the ship is damaged, I will compensate according to the price." Zhou Yu said very plainly, just a few transport ships, just received to understand the battleships of the Roman Empire level.

Castinus doesn't have any sensitivity to this. The technology of the transport ship is still borrowed from the Han Dynasty and Guishuang. Although there are certain improvements, the big bosses of the Han Dynasty may not like it.

What's more, this is Zhou Yu who is enough to be called His Majesty the Emperor!
