God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

"Gentlemen, prepare yourselves!" Chen Shi glanced at Huang Gai, but did not comment on what Huang Gai said. Instead, he signaled the army behind him to distribute the pre-prepared quivers and arrow quivers to the soldiers, placing them beside each soldier so that they could replenish their supplies as soon as possible.

The advantages of fighting on home soil are fully demonstrated in this respect.

There's no need to worry about arrow wear and tear, or about running out of arrows.

Even if they fought until they were all exhausted, they would never run out of arrows.

"Did you receive the message?" Huang Gai asked Chen Shi earnestly.

Under the current concentration of spiritual energy, the archers of Jiangdong will be able to exert far greater strength than before, and may even pose a threat to the naval fleet.

Precisely because of the threat it poses, the timing of strikes and the timing of support have become factors worth considering and need to be determined.

Too early won't work; it would be easy for the Kushan navy to escape and get out of their range, which would only lead to failure.

It can't be too late either. If the Northern Navy Fleet, which has been delaying the enemy, can't hold out any longer, then everything will be over.

Therefore, timing is very important. With the instant communication provided by the token, Huang Gai does not think there will be any problem with the timing.

"A message has arrived from the front lines: the Kushan army has breached the shipyard and is dragging bait; the time is right." Chen Shi quickly replied with the relevant information and reported the coordinates he had prepared in advance.

"Alright, it's finally our turn. Let's show these Kushan naval forces that our Jiangdong archers are not to be trifled with." Huang Gai nodded in satisfaction, signaling the Jiangdong archers, who were already prepared, to launch their attack from the designated angle.

Under normal circumstances, Jiangdong archers do not have the ability to strike beyond visual range, but as long as they change a charge-up talent, they can gain such an ability. What difficulty is there in that?
Zhou Yu certainly doesn't have the ability to manually create two talents, but for him, creating a single talent is a piece of cake.

Combined with the residual talent of Jiangdong archers in terms of accuracy, even if there are deviations, they won't be too drastic.

With ample preparation and planning, Zhou Yu directly recruited 20,000 archers from the Jiangdong region, reset their talents, and began preparing to trick Cecilie.

The vast Jiangdong region may lack skilled melee soldiers, but it certainly doesn't lack excellent archers.

This is also because there wasn't enough time. If there were no time limit, Zhou Yu really wanted to leave 100,000 archers here and use super long-range attack methods to wipe out the enemy.

As for the tens of thousands of bows, it would indeed be quite difficult for Zhou Yu to produce them, but for Chen Xi, that would be no problem at all.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time, and Zhou Yu couldn't achieve perfection.

However, that's how war is; it can break out at any moment, and it's impossible to be perfect in everything. "Calibrated strike, fire!" Huang Gai gave the order, and the Jiangdong archers, who had been preparing for battle, fired their arrows at predetermined angles and in general directions, every half breath.

Also prepared, the personnel who went directly to the battlefield and observed the arrows in the sky from the beach determined which arrow had the smallest error based on the time difference of its arrival and the direction and angle of its fall, and then transmitted this information back.

Neither side on the battlefield, whether it was Cecissarian's Kushan fleet or Moncomb's northern naval fleet, paid any attention to the arrows flying from the land.

On the one hand, the quantity is too small, not large enough, and the landing point is too far off.

On the other hand, in the middle of the battlefield, hundreds of arrows were flying back and forth in the sky every second, and no one paid any attention to the few arrows that were flying back and forth.

"Calibration complete, prepare for attack!" Huang Gai gave the order after receiving the feedback.

This time, it wasn't just a handful of archers from Jiangdong, but almost all the archers nocked their arrows, locked onto the distant target at roughly the same angle, in roughly the same manner, and with roughly the same level of power.

Normally, in the charging mode, an arrow the size of a ring finger can be made to grow to about the size of a thumb by combining it with the essence of heaven and earth.

However, given the current concentration of the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of heaven and earth adheres to the arrows, and the smoothness of the fireflies makes each arrow look about the same thickness as a spear, even giving it a tangible feel.

Huang Gai was aware of the power contained within the compression of the essence of heaven and earth into a tangible form, and he also understood just how terrifying the flaws of the adaptive cycle system created by Cecislian truly were.

It can be said that as long as someone can hold off Cecissian, and take advantage of the weaknesses of this system, even if the Han Empire's navy cannot defeat the enemy, it will not be swept northward by the enemy and lose the entire coastal area.

Huang Gai was already satisfied with achieving this and preventing the entire Jiangdong region from falling under the attack of the Kushans.

"Release!" Waving the flag in his hand, the firefly-like arrows streaked across the sky at an incredibly fast speed, flying towards the other side of the horizon.

Once the arrows were released from the soldiers' hands and the soldiers' willpower was no longer restraining them, the originally materialized arrows began to expand rapidly, and in the process of expansion, they further absorbed the essence of heaven and earth around them.

This caused arrows that were originally only the size of short spears to have a diameter exceeding one meter and a length exceeding ten meters when they reached the sky where the two armies were clashing.

With the combined fire of 20,000 men, the arrows truly blotted out the sky, and the glow of fireflies even overshadowed the sun's intense rays, drawing everyone's attention.

"Is this an attack from land?" Capil, who had been watching the port and monitoring the progress of the ships' transport, noticed this the moment the arrows appeared in the sky. He then looked at Cecissian ahead and warned him with a hint of panic, "Grandpa, there's a long-range attack from behind."

Upon hearing this inappropriate title on the battlefield, Cecissian frowned, then glanced back at the sky, his expression immediately turning cold.

Without hesitation or time to reprimand Kapil for his inappropriate words, he directly drew upon the ships' reserve cloud energy, forming a cloud energy chain that struck the fleet commanded by Nangadi. He then forcibly pulled it towards the central command, creating a collective defensive formation to resist this wave of not-so-precise long-range attacks. (End of Chapter)
