Chapter 794: Navy Victory
"Blast them! I want to see how thick your shells are!"

"Don't let them get away!"

Zhou Yu pointed his sword forward, revealing his true nature. The self-circulating clouds of energy accompanied Zhou Yu's unbridled outburst, directly demonstrating his destructive power.

Without the blessing of the Trinity, although the Japanese Shennong was still protecting the Qing fleet, its strength had begun to decline significantly.

The naval guns that were originally unable to cause damage, along with Zhou Yu's full-scale outbreak, the entire circulation system burst into brilliant light.

The blazing flames mixed with faint blue-green light spurted out from the muzzle. These blazing flames turned into indigo light and directly transformed into a continuous torrent that blasted forward.

The glow penetrated the collective defense and splashed out, and the shattered glow easily tore apart the decks of the Qing army ships.

When a sharp spear can penetrate a solid shield.

Casualties will begin to rise sharply.

The artillery fire from Zhou Yu's fleet was continuous. Zheng Zhilong fought desperately, but he could only reduce the losses. He had no way to withstand the bombardment of the entire fleet.

The Qing army was dying at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"This battle is won!" Zhou Yu was extremely excited.

Although it is still unclear what the situation is on Sun Ce's side, there is no doubt that seizing this current window of opportunity is enough for him to defeat all the opponents.

The navy is different from other things. As long as the enemy is defeated in one wave, it will be difficult for the enemy to replicate a fleet in a short time.

It's not just a problem with the ships, but also with the captains and soldiers who are familiar with naval warfare.

"Split up and retreat back to the port, and rely on the army to organize a counterattack!"

Zheng Zhilong was in a very awkward position in communicating with Shi Lang.

They still haven't figured out how Zhou Yu created that space barrier.

Only the secret art of natural disasters can barely break it, and other attacks have no way to shake that absolute barrier.

"We can only escape separately!" Shi Lang was also helpless.

In a long-range engagement, the opponent is invincible. How can we fight back?
But if they rushed forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they had no support from the divine hometown and could not defeat the naval commandos led by Zhou Tai and others.

If they can't win, they can only escape. At least they have to join up with the First Fleet currently commanded by Zheng Chenggong.

At least he could rely on his larger fleet and barely compete with Zhou Yu.

Although they don’t know what went wrong in Shenxiang, as long as the Japanese Shenxiang returns to normal, they will be invincible.

As for other things, they can no longer take care of them.

The strategic position of this place in Japan is extremely important, and they have to defend it no matter what.

Zhou Yu looked at Shi Lang and Zheng Zhilong running away in separate loops, and a slightly ferocious smile appeared on his face.

Obviously, his aura of stupidity has started to take effect again.

This is not entirely due to his mental talent. When he is at a disadvantage, he will make stupid moves frequently. His mental talent only magnifies this point.

At first glance, scattering and fleeing seems quite reasonable.

But have you forgotten that dividing the troops means further weakening the group defense of the self-circulating system?

Originally, their attacks could only barely break through the opponent's defense, but now, the defense level has dropped by nearly half, so any attack can penetrate the defense.

Once your collective defense is broken, do you think you can really escape?

The war drums roared, Zhou Yu's flagship rushed to the front, and the wave secret technique came one after another. The distance between the two sides began to shorten at a visible speed.

The rain of arrows has begun to fly, and each arrow is attached with the belief of victory, stirring the essence of heaven and earth and blasting forward.

The power of each shot far exceeded the previous peak level. At this moment, the arrows shot by ordinary archers on Zhou Yu's warship were even powerful enough to rival those of archers from top legions such as the Shesheng Camp and the Changshui Camp.

"Crack~" a crisp explosion sound.

The self-circulating defense barrier that the two fleets that fled separately were holding had its limits after all. Faced with Zhou Yu's violent behavior that did not care about the consequences, it was finally shattered.

"Destruction is always so easy, but creation is always so difficult."

Zhou Yu looked at the direction of the fleet with mockery. The group defense had collapsed, and it would not be so easy to gather it together again.

He wasn't going to watch them put up their defenses again.

"Open fire and sink them all!" Zhou Yu immediately lost interest in the battlefield. There was nothing interesting to see in the following process.

It was just a one-sided massacre. In comparison, he cared more about the situation on Sun Ce's side.

"Zhou Tai, how is the recovery of our headquarters going?" Zhou Yu asked Zhou Tai via voice transmission.

As the density of heaven and earth's essence increases, the effect of talent will be strengthened to far beyond previous levels.

In the previous melee, many of Zhou Tai's soldiers were on the verge of death, and they managed to retreat back to the ship by relying on their talent to hold on.

If Zhou Tai hadn't led his troops to cover their retreat, it would have been impossible for them to evacuate so easily before.

However, the price was also extremely heavy. Among Zhou Tai's main army, which was full of undead soldiers, two-thirds of them were so seriously injured that they could not get up.

Their enhanced talents allowed them to barely maintain a half-dead state, and they were only out of danger with the emergency help of the medical team.

For these undead monsters, escaping from danger means regaining health.

“It’s basically recovered!”

Zhou Tai responded to Zhou Yu in a deep voice. Although hundreds of people did not survive, most of them have recovered to their best condition.

After all, Zhou Yu was not stingy at all and gave all the elixirs he brought to Zhou Tai and others.

"You take 20,000 people to land and check the situation on the shore. Bofu should be in big trouble!"

"I will lead my men to continue chasing the enemy's remnants at sea and ensure that they will not come back to support us!"

Zhou Yu gave the order in a deep voice without any intelligence, but he still squeezed out some troops to support Sun Ce.

After the naval battle, Zhou Yu ordered the fleet to reorganize.

There was no unexpected annihilation.

Of course, this means that all ships are destroyed. As for those that can fly into the sky and into the sea, it is too difficult to destroy them all.

But it is enough. Without a fleet and soldiers, even if Han Xin came now, he could only watch helplessly.

"Send a message to the Military and Political Court."

Zhou Yu sighed and said that this war was not over yet, and the next step was to play hide-and-seek with the enemy around the Japanese mainland. If the problem of the Japanese homeland was not solved, he would not be able to wipe out the enemy's fleet.

To be honest, he had never expected that the enemy would have a fleet three times the size of his.

So even though he has now defeated twice as many enemies, his own artillery shell reserves, the health of his naval guns, etc. have reached historical lows.

In this state, it is too dangerous to annihilate the enemy's last fleet that is circling the homeland and can be deployed for support from Shenxiang at any time.

Moreover, Zhou Yu was also worried that if the other side sent another fleet from other places, then both sides would be destroyed.

Now, he could only pretend to be unstoppable and use the momentum of victory to scare the opponent.

Let's see if we can get some more support from the rear.

Or whether Sun Ce can successfully defeat the opponent.

"I have ordered people to send the battle report to the Military and Political Court, but I don't know how General Sun is doing." The deputy said with some concern.

"Don't worry about Bofu. Just trust them!"

"Besides, we have already achieved this point. The enemy's navy has been almost completely contained. If the enemy still has too many troops stationed inside, then I can do nothing about it."

Zhou Yu said very calmly, and his deputy nodded upon hearing this.

They have done their best, and all that is left is to do their best and leave the rest to fate.

However, it doesn’t matter even if Sun Ce and his men fail and retreat. Even if they cannot occupy Japan, they have already achieved their original strategic goal.

With them wandering around nearby, there is no way the other side will be able to send support inland.

"Send fifty ships to the inland port to see if there is any chance to cause some damage along the coast and attract the enemy's attention as much as possible!"

Zhou Yu made arrangements casually and he thought of Gan Ning. In fact, this job should be given to Gan Ning, after all, Gan Ning really had a group of pirates under his command.

If he goes back to his old job, he will be much more skilled than them and will be able to provide the greatest possible help to the army.

However, Gan Ning was blocking the Strait of Malacca at that time and had no time to do these things.

Gan Ning had never thought that one day he would be targeted by someone using human wave tactics at sea.

All the grand plans at the beginning were aborted, and they could only build fortifications on both sides of the Strait of Malacca to block the Strait of Malacca.

And outside the Strait of Malacca, thousands of ships are watching covetously.

It is hard to tell whether Gan Ning blocked them or they blocked Gan Ning.

However, the two sides are now in a stalemate. Gan Ning's surprise attack was too sudden, and the navy stationed in Malacca before had no time to react and was defeated by Gan Ning.

The fleet outside cannot come in now. There is no way because the distance between the two sides of Malacca is too close. If we start the self-loop, we will most likely be killed by the army.

Gan Ning couldn't break out either, and the two sides could only confront each other in a strange way, and then engage in a crazy land-based fighting near the coastline.

It was a bizarre drama, in which the victory or defeat of the navy actually depended on the army.

But both sides had no choice but to accept it.

But Gan Ning had Rahul under his command. Even if he did not bring the Peacock Legion, he brought the original Kshatriya warrior legion of Kushan, and their fighting power was also terrifyingly brutal.

After half escaping from the pit of the caste system, even the Kshatriya class, which was originally somewhat corrupt, burst out with rare vitality.

After all, the entire Kshatriya class is basically a military aristocracy system. After exerting their subjective initiative, their fighting ability increases sharply.

After the battle report was sent back to the Military and Political Court, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The unexpected events that occurred on the navy's side were completely beyond their imagination. The number of fleets of the entire Qing Empire was several times that of theirs, which was simply unimaginable.

What’s even more distressing is that the other side actually placed three fleets in Japan, with only three fleets in total from Malacca Strait to the west.

Fortunately, Gan Ning and Zhou Yu took advantage of the surprise attack and successfully completed their goal, otherwise it would have been a fair fight at sea.

Even Zhou Yu would not be able to gain any benefit, after all, the enemy's numbers are too large.

Relying on the strength of numbers and flying bricks, they can be smashed to death.

Fortunately, they had the advantage of being the first to take action, which was why they were confident that they could destroy the Qing court.

As long as they can implement their strategic layout, no matter what tricks the remaining Qing courtyard uses, they will be invincible.

After all, when it comes to a war that determines the survival of two empires, strategic victory is far more critical than the outcome of a local battle.

"Gan Xingba's side was pretty standard, but Zhou Gongjin managed to redeem himself this time!"

Guo Jia looked at the battle report and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Zhou Yu had always suffered the most defeats in the entire Xinghan Empire, but this time, he really put up a terrifying performance.

Facing an enemy three times its size, he managed to defeat two-thirds of them with little loss. He was simply like a god descending to earth.

Even if we send a god of war over there, this is probably all he can do.

"The self-circulation system is really a very powerful one. Apart from the drawbacks pointed out by Zhou Gongjin, I don't see any flaws at all. And the drawbacks pointed out by Zhou Gongjin, in my opinion, cannot be utilized at all."

Zhuge Liang read the detailed explanation in Zhou Yu's secret letter and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The sea route is different from the land route. Ships can move freely. Even if they have completed the guidance of the arrows with the essence of heaven and earth, it is difficult to use them. If they are ambushed, just encountering them is a problem. If they take the initiative to attack, the opponent will run away, and the long-range fleet that is not included in the self-circulating system will not be able to catch up.

He will have a self-circulating system. After all, Rome is also by the sea. The information that Zhou Yu can get, he can naturally get as well. If he studies the system, his achievements will not be low.

But to be honest, Zhuge Liang felt that if he put himself in Zhou Yu's position, he probably would not be able to win.

After all, we are all in the same class and our opponents are no pushovers.

Zhuge Liang looked at the battle report and couldn't understand how Zhou Yu won.

But since they won, that was enough. After confirming through several secret letters that Zhou Yu was not just pretending, everyone immediately began to deploy the next stage of action.

They were fighting a multi-threaded war. While the navy was fighting at sea, the war on land never stopped.

However, compared to the war at sea which started and ended quickly, the war on land seemed to be somewhat slow.

But the bloodiness was no less than that of a naval battle, and it was even worse. People were dying in battle almost every moment.

However, up to now, their strategic layout has been progressing steadily.

Bai Qi has begun to shrink his encirclement, and Han Xin has also launched a war near Qingting.

Coupled with the navy's achievements, the Qing army's movements were completely led by them.
