Naturally, the decisive battle could not be fought. On the one hand, Mengkangbu, who had already set off at that time, had no relevant information at all. On the other hand, when the Kushan side discovered that Zhou Yu's ship had sailed to the middle reaches of the Ganges River, Mengkangbu's The fleet has passed the Kou family's fiefdom and will soon arrive in the Bay of Bengal.
At this time, there is no point in notifying or not. It is better to let Mengkangbu choose the target on his own. After all, Mengkangbu himself is also an excellent general. The war for so many years was not in vain. When he found out that Zhou Yu was not there, naturally New targets will also be selected.
It's just that the overall situation is not as good as Zhu Helai thought. This actually involves a change in the strategic layout of the world's oceans after many years of naval battles between the Han army and Kushan.
In the past, whoever captured the Strait of Malacca was qualified to block the passages of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. However, the Han army built the Kra Isthmus Canal and directly completed the change of the strategic layout of the world's oceans. After defeating the Han navy and capturing Malacca, the Han Dynasty could still travel between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
As for Montcomb's capture of the Kra Isthmus Canal, this is purely a dream. This is an artificial canal, not a miraculous work of nature. The left and right widths are exactly the same. After the construction was completed, various permanent forts were built.
Instead of thinking about how to capture this kind of canal, it is better to be realistic and directly block the canal with stones loaded by transport ships. At least this behavior is more realistic and more effective.
However, even if transport ships were loaded with stones to block the canal, the army could not block it, and the Han army would be able to open the canal again within a few days.
Therefore, the so-called capture of Malacca and regaining the overall strategic advantage of the navy did not exist from the beginning. As for why Zhou Yu has been deploying defenses in Malacca, this involves another reason, or more directly, this is pure politics. reason.
If there was no Kra Isthmus Canal, Jiangdong controlled Malacca, shipping gradually developed, and sooner or later there would be a fight with the Han Dynasty over the Malacca issue, and Jiangdong invested almost all his resources in the construction of Sumatra. When the tidal flat problem was completely solved, there would be fertile land there. , one relies on the homeland, and the other goes on an expedition, the internal friction will be very fatal.
Chen Xi has no interest in the Eternal Dynasty, it is just a backwater. What he wants is the expansion of the Han cultural circle. Master and slave are not important, but interests are the most touching things. In the hands of the Jiangdong people, sooner or later, Malacca will break out into unnecessary civil strife due to interests. .
Therefore, the Kra Isthmus Canal was born. This more than 100-mile canal was not only Jiangdong's strategic alternative to Guishang at that time, but also another option for the Han Dynasty in the future.
Even if the old people like Zhao Qi didn't point out the possibility of connecting the canal at the weak point when looking at the map at the beginning, Chen Xi would point it out later. After all, some things were not done at the beginning, and the resistance to be done later would be too great.
Just like in ancient China, the 2,700-kilometer Grand Canal was built, but now the Kra Isthmus Canal in Thailand has been delayed for hundreds of years and has been constantly shelved due to various political reasons. As a result, no matter who is interested, there is strong resistance and cannot promote.
It’s not that a canal of more than 50 kilometers is difficult to repair, but that the political forces involved in whether to repair the canal are constantly wrestling with each other, leaving no one able to do anything.
Therefore, from the beginning, the situation was not as good as Zhu Helai thought. On the contrary, Mengkangbu's position at the beginning was very correct. No matter what situation he faced next, as long as he seized this opportunity, Zhou Yu would be defeated. To kill him would be a strategic victory.
After all, even if it is replaced by a true seventh-generation ship, without Zhou Yu's command, it may not be possible to kill Mengkangbu. The seventh-generation ship is absolutely invincible at the same time. Even Kushan's various weapons and secret techniques cannot break through the defense. At most Just hit it until the paint comes off.
However, in addition to long-range strikes, naval operations also include ship-jumping warfare. Especially in the third century, the mainstream of the navy should have used ship-jumping warfare as its core combat idea.
It sounds outrageous, but in fact the last boarding battle took place in World War II. It was the Cossack vs. Altmark. Although it was a destroyer vs. an oil tanker, it was also a real ship-jumping battle. It can be seen that if the captain is rubbish, what? None of this stuff is reliable.
If Zhou Yu launches the Zhen 7th generation ship to fight against the Kushan Navy, the probability that the Kushan Navy will have the chance to execute a ship-jumping battle is 0. Then with other commanders, including Gan Ning, the Guishang Navy will at least have a chance to get the Zhen 7th generation ship. On behalf of the ship, this is the difference.
Moncomb didn't know this. He just followed his own judgment and implemented the plan he thought was correct. But in reality, his plan could be called the most correct plan. At the very least, it had a real chance of killing him. Zhou Yu's plan to injure the Han army.
As for the plans that Zhu Helai and Altay have made now, in good conscience, Altay only created a few kilometers of muddy land, so what if he created half a Ganges of muddy land? This method can only contain it at best. The performance of the Han army, the Han army cannot move, but the Kushan army can move?
In Kushan, except for the Kshatriya warrior corps at Sakala, which has the ability to pass through this kind of terrain, wouldn't the other corps also fail when faced with this kind of terrain?
The Han Dynasty has been disgusted for a while. At least they can spend 20,000 to 30,000 shield guards with stable talents. If not, they can bring Zang Ba back. Is this the way to solve the problem?
In fact, it was not the case. Altay did not want to completely solve the problem. He just wanted to delay time.
On the contrary, Mengcomb really wanted to solve the problem, and what was different from others was that Mengcomb really had the possibility to solve the problem. After all, in army operations, as long as the generals are not stupid and run away if they can't win, it will be a rout. You can also run away a lot.
But in a naval battle, as long as you seize the opportunity, even if it is just one chance, it is actually possible to completely turn defeat into victory. Zhou Yu used facts to show everyone before, what is meant by even if you are stronger than me, as long as you have a chance, you can win everything you lost before. Win it back.
This time, it is really an opportunity for Guishang to turn defeat into victory. If Zhou Yu did not drive the seventh-generation ship to Qunu City, Mengkangbu would have a 60% chance of winning back everything he lost before, including this battle. Guan Yu, Yu Jin and others took back all the places they had captured.
Because Zhou Yu also wanted to kill Meng Kambu, as long as Meng Kambu really appeared in the Bay of Bengal, Zhou Yu would pursue him even if he knew it was a bait, because Zhou Yu brought 70% of the Han fleet and the admiralty in the Bay of Bengal.
This data matches Zhou Yu's own combat effectiveness. Against Meng Combo who has not changed his warships, without the cover of land-based forts, even if Meng Combo cannot be defeated, he can still defeat the opponent. Even if Meng Combo has some other secret skills and hidden power don't matter to Zhou Yu anymore, just like the first time Zhou Yu faced Selian, it doesn't matter what tricks you have.

After all, Zhou Yu was also very annoyed with Meng Kangbu. With the exception of Gan Ning, other naval officers of the Han army would die when they encountered Meng Kangbu.
Although the Guishan navy was extremely afraid of Zhou Yu, in fact the Han army was also very afraid of the Guishan navy. To this extent, everyone could see it. The navy was divided into Zhou Yu and others, while the others were divided into Meng Kangbu and others. other……
Therefore, Zhou Yu also wanted to seize an opportunity to kill Meng Kangbu, so that the ordinary naval officers under his command could lead the fleet to dominate the four oceans.
The problem is that when Zhou Yu was leading the team, Meng Kangbu was either the main force in the group, or was protected by land-based forts along the Kushan coast. When Zhou Yu was not leading the team, Meng Kangbu led the team to find ways to strangle the Han navy. The two of them rarely encountered each other.
In the only few encounters, the navy led by Zhou Yu did not have the strength to bite Meng Kangbu's main force. Therefore, when Zhou Yu led the main force and Meng Kangbu suddenly appeared, Zhou Yu would definitely rush forward and strangle Meng Kangbu, even if Zhou Yu's psychological It is clear that the other party is definitely a bait, but what happened to the bait? I, Zhou Yu, want to see what kind of ambush you can come up with.
This is what the saying goes, "A good rider will fall from his horse, and a good swimmer will drown in the water."
Just like back then, didn't Selian know that Zhou Yu's massive move was a decoy? I know, but Selian is confident that even if he is old and has only one breath left, he can still take Zhou Yu away with him at the last moment, so Selian saw Zhou Yu making a big move and followed him directly.
The follow-up result is also known. In the naval battle, Zhou Yu was indeed unable to defeat Salian, but Salian was choked by Zhou Yu.
As long as Zhou Yu follows, Meng Kangbu has a 60% to 70% certainty of taking Zhou Yu away. Of course, as a price, Meng Kangbu's generals and even Meng Kangbu himself may be taken away in the process. ,But that's okay.
If Mengkangbu did not die during this process, then the Kushans would have won a complete victory, which could be said to have reversed the strategic situation. The Han Dynasty could only wait for the subsequent true seventh-generation ships to go to sea to completely eliminate the Kushan navy. And there are some other unexpected factors.
If Meng Kangbu also dies during this process, Kushan will at least reverse the strategic situation to a certain extent. The navy will at least have the basis to suppress the Han navy. It just needs to wait for the true seventh-generation ship to come down and make all efforts. It's all for nothing.
Without Meng Combo's level, ordinary naval officers would not even have the qualifications to engage in a ship-jumping battle with a true seventh-generation ship. The simplest thing is that without Meng Comb, a naval officer who is only slightly stronger than the Han army would not be able to defeat his own side. The warships approached the true seventh-generation ship under attack from the Han army.
This slight difference is due to the unexpected factors briefly summarized above - even if it is the so-called favor of fate, you must have the basic strength to accept this favor.
It's a pity that Zhou Yu has already gone to Qunu City to eliminate the subsequent hidden dangers of Sun Ce's behavior back then. As a result, the only possible opportunity to reverse the entire strategy has been lost. Zhou Yu is not in the Bay of Bengal, and the biggest move Mengkangbu can make is to destroy it. Some jars and jars.
Maybe for Kushan, smashing these pots and jars is a huge victory, but just like when Benzi fought against the American emperor, what they thought was a huge victory was not a traumatic loss for the American emperor. .
The two sides did not fight on the same level from the beginning. The Han Dynasty sought a victory that could stabilize its operations and continue its rule, while the Kuishang's goal was just to continue to survive without any long-term plan.
Many of the Kushan Empire's performances that were considered amazing were actually just an idea when they were beaten by the Han Dynasty.
The entire Han-Gui war can truly be called a strategic-level plan. The only plans were to blockade Malacca, control Shang Hung, move Bei-Gui internally, and recruit Liu Ling to integrate internally. The rest were just passive reactions in the face of the Han Dynasty's beatings.
However, only one of these strategic-level plans came from Zhu Helai. The other two were the empirical analysis of maritime layout by Sailian, a naval giant, and the two were gifts given by Masinde when he escaped.
As for other operations, let’s put it this way, the strategies that can’t change the situation of the battle are all funny analysis. Do you know why there is a kind of staff called Showa Staff? This kind of staff is not about the intelligence gap with others, but a more direct cognitive problem. There are differences in levels.
The failure of tactics is at most painful. If the strategy fails, then there is no need to feel pain, because it is already dead, so there is no need to feel pain.
The predicament Kuishang is currently in is actually strategic passivity. Unfortunately, there are few ways to reverse this passivity. After all, even if you want to try to make a big move, at least you need to have four ounces of energy, and Kuishang's The problem lies in how to generate these four ounces of energy.
Guishang thought about how to use these four ounces of strength. That was Guishang's business. What the Han Dynasty wanted was to beat Guishang to death with a thousand pounds of force.
For example, the seventh-generation ship hit bottom near Qunu City. After Sun Ce, who was standing on the bow of the ship as a statue, was washed down, Zhou Yu finally gave up and continued to move forward.
At present, this place is still more than ten miles away from Qunu City, but it is already within the strike range of the Heaven and Earth Essence-Electromagnetic Railgun. Zhou Yu does not want to waste energy and continue to move forward. Although his crew members work hard to repair the ship, and then rely on The cloud-solidified road can still be traveled for a few miles, but that would be too troublesome.
Zhou Yu said that there is no need to do this. It doesn’t matter how many miles more or less. It is difficult for naval guns to hit warships at sea because of the bumps in the sea. But when hitting fixed targets, the hit rate is still guaranteed, and fixed targets are still If you still can't hit a city, then the Jiangdong archers will commit suicide. They are pure waste!
"This city wall is difficult to fight." Sun Ce stared at Qu Nu City with a serious expression.
"This is the royal city. There was no cloud energy or etching at the beginning. General Guan mobilized all his troops and slashed the wall of Peshawar with only a single trace. Not to mention the current Qunu City." Zhou Yu said calmly, "The above I may not be able to identify the secret techniques and etchings clearly, but as long as it’s still a city wall, it’s no problem. Go contact our people and prepare to attack the city.”
It’s cold, the author is indeed cold. We haven’t even had a high temperature holiday yet. It’s really cold, despairing, and heartbreaking. I’m asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month.
