Zhou Yu is very clear-headed. This battle can be said to be a turning point for Jiangdong's power. If he wins, all the previous efforts of Guan Yu, Cao Cao and others will be surpassed by them in one breath. What if they have passed Boluo Si, and they have passed Kandahar. how.
As long as the Han army crosses the barrier of Malacca, it can really run rampant in the Indian Ocean. With Zhou Yu's strategic and tactical abilities, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, he can hit the Kushan King City with one blow.
And it is not Guan Yu's previous attack method of bringing 20,000 to 30,000 people to attract targets, but the combat power that truly threatens and even captures the royal capital.
Therefore, after taking this step, if goals one and two are really achieved, then Zhou Yuzhen will surpass the previous efforts of the two major forces in one fell swoop.
Of course, things in this world basically involve as much benefit as there are risks. If such a huge benefit is messed up this time, it is really not something that a few people can settle, and this is Such a failure would greatly shake the foundation of Sun Ce's power.
Therefore, we must win this battle cautiously and let go of all possibilities of failure.
With Sun Ce's overall power in operation, Li Yan, Pang Tong and others in Sumatra also received the order. However, looking at this order, Pang Tong and Li Yan understood what Zhou Yu's core idea was almost instantly.
"Start directly?" Li Yan looked at Pang Tong and asked. Wenpin on the side also had a complicated expression. If he really started like this, it would really not be a small loss.
"We have no choice. We must create a high enough attraction for Ye Tiaoguo. Otherwise, the pressure on the governor will be too great." Pang Tong read the letter twice and said with a headache, "But this The climate is a bit scary.”
Sumatra has a hot and humid tropical maritime climate, which is very suitable for the growth of microorganisms. As Pang Tong and others who have been here for a long time, they are very aware of the quality of fighting in this environment. However, the tactical battlefield needs to serve the grand strategy. .
"The governor's order requires us to launch a war against Kushan, but it does not specify how to fight. Why don't we try a beheading tactic." Wenpin, who was eating a banana, suddenly said.
"Decapitation tactic." Pang Tong thought for a moment, and this was indeed a choice. After all, his spiritual talent was somewhat different from that of others. His talent was equivalent to adding a yellow dot, so he could determine the location of the enemy's leader. of.
Therefore, you use your spiritual talents to lock the opponent's position, and then use your defeated army to attract the opponent's combat power. You can ambush a small group of elites at the right position. When the opponent pursues and the team is scattered, you can forcefully charge in from the flank and behead the opponent's core.
This tactic is one that only Pang Tong can use and can produce astonishing results. It doesn't matter whether it is a false defeat or a real defeat.
In fact, judging from the letter sent by Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu is ready to accept the subsequent loss of a huge number of Ye Tiao people on Sumatra Island. If this is the premise, even if the organized Ye Tiao Qingzhuang Guards are really defeated There is nothing unacceptable.
"This is indeed a very good plan." Pang Tong nodded, "The main reason is that the losses will be less and our control will be better. But if Masinde goes to Sumatra..."
Pang Tong thought deeper than Li Yan and Wenpin, because if Masinde went to Sumatra, then considering Zhou Yu's plan, Selian would definitely take Mengkangbu to the East China Sea.
What does this mean? Pang Tong doesn't think that guy Masinde can't see that this farewell may be an eternal farewell and is not a joke.
But under such prerequisites, if Masinde still comes to Sumatra, Pang Tong needs to consider another thing, that is, whether there is something wrong with Masinde.
Although a lot of information related to Masinde was received from Kenmaile and Valena, Masinde has been following Selian in the fight against the Han Dynasty, so that except for Sun Ce, all the Jiangdong forces, including Zhou Yu, No one had any idea of Masinde.
But if Masinde stays this time, then Pang Tong needs to carefully consider Masinde's position. After all, this battle is three battlefields. With Masinde's status, he should not be placed on the third battlefield in any case. Three battlefields.
Even if it was Selian's order, in fact, if Selian issued this order, it would be a better explanation for Masinde's problem.
[Masinde may not be in the situation we thought. Maybe once Selian dies, Masinde will be equivalent to a free man. Whether he will help his successor depends more on whether Masinde is willing. 】 Careful thinking went around in Pang Tong's mind, and then he settled down. It's not that there is no need to think so much, but it is another mode of thinking.
"The beheading tactic can be implemented. Although it may not be successful and some things may be exposed, Masinde is really here." Pang Tong sighed. He was basically sure what happened to Masinde. Masinde might really be just Helping Selian, there is really no loyalty to the Kushan Empire.
After all, in the current situation, even if Masinde suffers from the halo of being mentally retarded, he should understand that Selyan's departure will be a disaster, and even if he wins, he may not be able to come back.
In this case, if Masinde does not follow Selian, a lot of things need not be said.
"Can we behead him now?" Li Yan's eyes lit up. Pang Tong noticed the arrival of the yellow dot, which meant that Masinde had entered the scene. This was a good opportunity.
"That guy has always been very careful." Pang Tong rolled his eyes and said. Masinde didn't know when he got into the habit. This guy always moves with the army, or he just stays motionless in the center of the main camp. .
So much so that Pang Tong was able to determine the approximate location of the opponent, but he has been unable to execute the beheading tactic. It can be said that this time a large number of young men could be sacrificed, allowing Guishang to have troop distribution problems due to the successful pursuit, and he had the ability to break through the front and kill by force. The possibility of Pang Tong.
"Then we can only wait for the opportunity." Li Yan sighed and said.
This guy used to be very good at it, but unfortunately he met Zhou Yu first and was beaten again in Northern Xinjiang. After he left the country, he realized the vastness of the world and completely understood his situation.
The original Xiaoduchichang was wasted in this environment, and he was able to listen to people's words. Naturally, he cooperated quite well with Pang Tong.
"In this case, I started to ask my soldiers to go to the countryside to inform the local youth, form auxiliary troops, and prepare for battle." Wenpin, who had not spoken much, got the center of the problem very well. In Li Yanhe After Pang Tong confirmed the situation with each other, he spoke decisively.
"Organize all the young people in the southeast, mobilize more than 100,000 young people, make a counterattack, and force Guishang to organize all the young people in Ye Diao." Pang Tong thought for a while and said, Although this kind of auxiliary soldiers who have not undergone military service are of little use, they can still be used to strengthen their reputation.
What's more important is that more people can attract Kushan's attention. Since Masinde is not the real military advisor of the Kushan fleet, but Salian's personal military advisor, Pang Tong is very interested in giving it a try. It can't be dug.
Of course, the premise is to be able to defeat and capture them.
"How is the situation on the north bank?" Pang Tong suddenly asked.
"The Kra Canal is about to extend from the rain forest." Li Yan gave the answer directly. Pang Tong nodded, and understood the significance of launching a war at this time.
"Can you hold it?" Pang Tong said slightly worriedly.
The weakest link in Zhou Yu's entire strategy is here. After luring Selian away, the Kra Canal can indeed be built, but the problem is that the last few kilometers will inevitably be exposed to Kushan. Once Selian can receive the news, he can quickly When you come back, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
"That's why the governor brought Selian to the East China Sea for a decisive battle." Wenpin said with a bit of helplessness. No one except Zhou Yu could hold him back. In fact, if he hadn't issued a gauntlet to go to the East China Sea for a decisive battle, Selian would have definitely Lie down in Malacca and don't move.
This is actually a link within a link. Without any link, the problem cannot be solved.
Without the certainty of victory, Salian will not leave Malacca. If Salian really wants to win, Zhou Yu cannot fight, so he can only choose a situation that is acceptable to both parties.
Only in this way can Selian be lured away, and only by luring Selian away can the construction of the canal be steadily promoted after the Han army's true goal is exposed.
If you think about it carefully, including the Sumatra battlefield, it is just a link to attract Kushan. Everything is essentially for one goal - to break the Kushan blockade of the Han army relying on the Southeast Asian island chain, and then enter the Indian Ocean.
This is the most fundamental strategic goal, and everything else serves this.
"What I mean is, what legions will be defending the north by then?" Pang Tong looked at Wenpin and said, "No one is blind, and Kushan is not a fool. When the Kra Canal is quickly repaired, Kushan will They will definitely attack the northern front at all costs."
"It sounds like this is our chance to occupy all of Sumatra." Li Yan said with interest, while Pang Tong rolled his eyes.
By that time, it was meaningless to occupy Sumatra. For Kushan, once the Han army broke through the Kushan blockade, Malacca would lose its original value, and then it would be used as a base to contain the Han army's invasion of Malacca. Sumatra also lost value at the same time. In this case, Kushan would decisively abandon Sumatra as long as he had the brains.
After all, the loss of Sumatra will only cause great hidden dangers in the Kushan blockade of Malacca. The construction of the Kokra Canal will mean that Malacca loses its value. Which is more important, no need to think about it?
