God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The salvo launched under Huang Gai's orders quickly fell on the Kushan fleet, which was already prepared to defend itself.

Cecissarian's combined defense of the fleet achieved a comprehensive defense from both sides without sacrificing the defense against the Moncon fleet's attack.

Furthermore, given that the unified attack was only conducted after precise test shots, only about one-third of the arrows fired by the Jiangdong archers under Huang Gai's command hit the Kushan fleet's group defense area.

Looking at the Kushan fleet soldiers who had perfectly deflected the arrows from the group's defenses, their eyes were full of praise and approval.

Cecissian was able to perfectly defend against such an unexpected attack, making him incredibly strong.

However, for Capil, the perfect defense commanded by Cecissarian was not an excellent countermeasure, or rather, not the optimal solution under Cecissarian's normal circumstances.

For Cecilielian at his peak, dealing with this level of long-range attack didn't require comprehensive group defense; defending key areas was sufficient.

While the fleet in the adaptive loop system is indeed a whole, it is ultimately composed of individuals. The gaps between each ship are enormous, which means that the vast majority of arrows will not hit the ships at all, but will only attack the sea surface in the gaps between the ships.

By achieving this, we can reduce the consumption of cloud gas reserves caused by group defense, further extend the fleet's sustainable combat time, and increase the corresponding cloud gas reserves.

Cecissian currently employs a partial area-based group defense, which also extends to the ocean areas between ships, seemingly keeping all arrows out of its defenses.

In reality, this level of defense requires several times the amount of cloud energy consumed.

It's fair to say that once Kapil realized this, his previous composure vanished, replaced by a growing sense of unease.

Under this worry and anxiety, Kapil unconsciously became a little anxious and appeared somewhat flustered.

"It's alright, the fleet's cloud reserves are extremely abundant, there's no need to worry about that." Cecissian frowned slightly, looking at Capil in this state, and still offered a simple reassurance in an explanatory manner.

Excessive pressure and urging will only cause Kapil to bear undue stress and enter a different state, one that is more susceptible to influence.

"I'm sorry, I was worrying too much." Kapil quickly nodded, calming himself down and focusing on the situation.

Perhaps he was mistaken. His grandfather, Cecissian, was invincible at sea. With a well-equipped and well-manned naval fleet, how could anything happen to him?

The purpose of this rapid, unilateral, regional group defense is probably just for that one unfinished steel warship of the Han Empire.

"Regionalized group defense?" Moncomb, who had also observed this scene, instantly softened his previously cautious expression.

Sun Ce looked at Meng Kangbu, puzzled. The enemy had blocked all their attacks, so why did the fleet commander seem completely unaffected, even appearing to be in a better mood than before? It was truly perplexing.

However, even though he knew in his heart that the situation had improved somewhat, Meng Kangbu still didn't have time to explain the reasons to Sun Ce. Instead, he did his best to command the fleet and help it withstand the attacks from Cecissarian.

"Second round of attacks, fire!" Based on the information relayed from the front lines and after confirming that the general direction was not significantly off, Huang Gai directed the Jiangdong archers to continue their long-range attacks.

Unlike the Archery Battalion, which could only fire seven cross-horizon shots under normal circumstances, the Jiangdong archers, who only had the Charge ability, could fire more shots.

Although the latter is far less powerful than the former, its effect, achieved through a high concentration of the essence of heaven and earth, is even greater than that of the Shooting Camp.

Without wasting much time, just a dozen breaths later, the second wave of attacks landed on the Kushan fleet.

This round of attacks not only had a smaller attack range, but also a higher attack intensity.

This significantly improved striking capability made Cecissian very clear that the Han Empire's army must have attacking forces on the front lines; otherwise, the optimization wouldn't have been so rapid and accurate.

Even knowing this, faced with the vast coastline, Cecislian could only suppress his inner thoughts and resort to another method to deal with the situation.

"Notify the fleet to head due east, away from the ports of the Han Empire." After confirming that the ports had been destroyed, the shipyards had collapsed, and the unfinished steel behemoths were being towed away, Cecissian did not hesitate and began to direct the army to prepare to advance towards the outer sea area.

Once we leave the port's land forces' long-range strike range, it will be easy to deal with the Han Empire's navy and completely wipe out their main force.

However, during this process, the Kushan fleet's trajectory was basically a small arc around the main force of the Han Empire's navy, and in essence, it still hadn't broken free from the cloud chains that had been so hard to break free from.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. Trying to run away is wishful thinking!" Realizing that the Kushan fleet was about to change the battle location, Moncombu raised his hand and waved his hand. Huge cloud chains also appeared from the ships of the Northern Fleet, easily hitting the ships of the Kushan Navy.

His reaction speed surprised even Cecissian.

It's unclear whether the Han Empire's commander's actions were a spur-of-the-moment decision or something he had planned in advance.
Deep down, Cecissian was fully aware of the differences between these two situations and their corresponding implications, and could only think about and deal with them from the worst-case scenario.

“It seems the Han Empire is waking up very quickly. The Han Empire’s naval fleet doesn’t want to leave the support and strike capabilities of the land forces, so it’s trying to keep us here.” After calming down a bit, Kapil, relying on his own brain and thinking, expressed his thoughts and confirmed the purpose of the Han Empire’s naval forces’ actions.

"By leveraging the long-range strike capabilities of land forces and coordinating land and sea operations, we can maximize combat effectiveness." Cecislian shook his head slightly, expressing his disdain for such a thing.

Cecissian had similar thoughts and actions when the fleet was first established, so how could he not be aware of this?
While it's impossible to completely eliminate the problem's shortcomings, optimizing it and reducing its effects shouldn't be a major issue. (End of Chapter)
