God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The continuous attacks and clashes posed a constant test for the soldiers on both sides.

However, whether they were soldiers of the Han Empire's northern navy or elite core members under Cecissian, the well-trained naval soldiers all demonstrated extremely strong will and resilience.

Arrows flew everywhere, one after another, along with stones hidden among the arrows, and bolts from giant crossbows—all these weapons posed a threat to the deck.

The soldiers attacking from the deck had to face this threat.

Neither the soldiers of the Han Empire nor the soldiers of the Kushan Empire showed any fear and continued to launch attacks instead of retreating from the deck and hiding in the cabins.

"Indeed, the resilience shown by the Kushan army is indeed in line with the qualities that an empire should have." Lu Su looked at the interaction on the distant sea and at the soldiers on the Kushan navy who had not retreated, and his brows furrowed slightly.

If the enemy truly possesses the qualities and foundations befitting an empire, then purely military action is neither an efficient nor effective option.

For an empire, war is not a big problem; its own resources and accumulated strength are sufficient to cope with wars of imperial scale.

With a rich and well-established system, a combat approach that combines experienced soldiers with new recruits, a massive logistical force, and advantages in both manpower and logistics during defensive operations, dealing with an attack from another empire would be no problem at all.

An empire can only be defeated by another empire if it is suppressed to the point of death.

As for why the Xiongnu were defeated by the Han Empire, in addition to the difference in strength, there were also psychological warfare tactics and acts of destroying the country.

Powerful empires always die from internal strife, not from external attacks.

"Based on this, the only way to take them down in my lifetime is through internal sabotage. It's a viable way to seize their country." Withdrawing his attention from the battlefield, Lu Su began to study how to destroy the Kushan Empire from within.

Judging from the current situation, both the southern Kushan forces and the naval forces have demonstrated combat skills and qualities that perfectly match the performance expected of an empire.

And they are getting stronger and stronger in the course of the war, like turning the fat of an empire into fat, and are now exerting their due fighting power, which is not a good thing.

Lu Su dared to think about these things because there were basically no more things that required his involvement.

The enhancement effect that spiritual talent can bring is limited in the current naval warfare environment.

Even if the air temperature could be reduced to a sufficiently low level, it wouldn't be able to withstand the rising temperatures caused by the fleet's burning mountains and boiling seas.

Therefore, for Lu Su at this moment, all he could do was use his mental power to adjust the direction of the wind, helping the friendly fleet while reducing the enemy's movement speed.

There's not much else we can do to help.

Upon arriving at the Wudang camp, Taishi Ci successfully assembled his troops. Looking at the bow in his hand and then at the army behind him, he took a deep breath and began to take command of the force.

Having led the Wudang Legion for so long, Taishi Ci and the Wudang army were already familiar with each other, and there was no issue of seamless cooperation. For Taishi Ci at this moment, all he needed to wait for was a signal.

The fact that they were 40 miles away from the battlefield and did not rush to the battlefield immediately was also due to the special nature of the Wudang Legion.

The Wudang Legion's mastery of the essence of heaven and earth allows it to develop its legionary attack capabilities far ahead of other legions.

Under normal circumstances, launching twenty or thirty legion attacks in a row is as easy as drinking water. The maximum number of legion attacks a regular legion can launch is only eighteen, and there are very few legions in the world today that can achieve this limit.

Currently, there is only one legion capable of surpassing this limit, and that is the Wudang Legion.

Combined with Taishi Ci's Legion talent effect, in terms of the number of Legion attacks, it directly crushes all other Legions, becoming the best in the entire army.

However, if a legion can only carry out legion attacks, then the range it can strike is at most a few miles.

Even if you could turn this area into mud, it wouldn't change the fact that the attack range is only so big.

Although this attack range even exceeds that of many archer units, it is absolutely impossible for it to threaten the Kushan fleet at this time. Even with the boost from the concentration of heaven and earth's essence brought by the adaptive circulation system, it would be difficult to achieve this.

The only troops truly capable of striking at this distance are archer units, which possess this ability and can launch extremely high-intensity attacks from such a long range.

However, the essence of the Wudang Legion is ultimately the mastery of the essence of heaven and earth, and the higher the concentration of the essence of heaven and earth, the stronger the mastery.

“The conventional methods of using legionary attacks do have limited range, but there is another method that can surpass that limit.” Taishi Ci took a deep breath and, facing the gazes of the crowd, raised the bow in his hand.

A general who commands an army is a general in the true sense of the word.

The method Taishi Ci mentioned is actually the path taken by generals of the Han Empire in the past, a path that has now been largely abandoned. That is, to concentrate the power of the army on a single general, allowing the general's strength to expand further, thereby achieving an explosive output that surpasses the basic strength.

The reason for abandoning this model now is simple: concentrating the power of the legion on the general not only places extremely high demands on the legion commander, but also incurs enormous costs and burdens.

Even if one or two attacks can wipe out a considerable number of people, the loss of attack power makes it a completely unworthy attack.

However, under the current circumstances, the Wudang Legion's conventional combat methods are simply insufficient for providing long-range support. But if the Legion Commander's attack capabilities are utilized, then this can be achieved.

In particular, the legion itself possesses the ability to control the essence of heaven and earth. Under such high intensity of the essence of heaven and earth, Taishi Ci had no idea to what extent the power it could unleash was.

"The Wudang Legion, unparalleled in mountain warfare, also seems to have ultra-long-range strike capabilities. We originally thought this legion was just here to deal with the enemy's landing forces, but now it seems we were overthinking it." Huang Gai glanced at the camp where Taishi Ci was located, then looked at the Jiangdong archers behind him and uttered these words of admiration.

I thought they were there to protect me, but judging from the looks of it, it seems they had no such intention at all. (End of Chapter)
