God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The commander of the Han Empire who was able to attack even his own fleet was definitely ruthless. Even Kapil had to admit that this method of attack was indeed effective, but also extremely risky.

It can only be said that Cecilielian truly lived up to his grandfather's reputation as an invincible naval war god. He was able to realize the existence of such danger with just a glance at the enemy fleet. In comparison, he would need a long time to think and verify before he could realize the problem.

Put yourself in their shoes. If sacrificing only a portion of the Han Empire's navy could bury them all at the bottom of the sea, he probably wouldn't hesitate at all.

The Han Empire's navy, which possessed a fleet, was the Han Empire's naval force. But what would it be like without Cecissian's Kushan fleet?
Kapil couldn't imagine such a future, nor could he imagine what would happen after this event occurred.
“In that case, the fleet will obey orders and prepare for…” Realizing something was wrong, Kapil discovered the essence of the matter: the issue of battlefield command authority.

Cecissian's naval fleet was completely at his command; he could do whatever he wanted and accomplish whatever he desired.

Even when trapped in a pit or facing adversity, they can quickly turn the tide and reverse the battlefield situation.

His command of the entire naval fleet has instead buried the navy's inherent advantages and plunged it into its current predicament.

This stark change made Capil more aware of his combat capabilities and his role in naval warfare.

Perhaps he is indeed very good and quite strong, but everything is subject to comparison.

Compared to Cecissian, Capil was indeed an incompetent man.

Thoughts in one's mind do not affect the passage of time in reality.

When the naval fleet commanded by Capil officially collided with Zhou Yu's southern naval fleet, the internal structure of the adaptive system's core cycle began to collide and clash, and the concentration of the surrounding spiritual energy rose again, just like at the beginning.

This surge in the concentration of vital energy in the heavens and earth not only signifies a clash between the core levels of both sides, but also means that the previously quiet Han Empire archer forces will once again begin their attacks.

Can the Kushan navy fleet, in its current state, withstand such a high-intensity long-range attack?
As the current de facto commander of your naval fleet, Kapil has absolutely no idea about this issue.

Losing more than half of the fleet's size does not mean that its combat effectiveness has only been reduced by half.

In fact, based on the capabilities of the adaptive cycle system, losing half of the fleet would reduce the overall combat effectiveness by at least 60%.

The more fleets you have, the stronger the additional buffs from the cycle, and vice versa.

"Retreat!" Having figured this out, Kapil coldly surveyed the silent crowd and said in a serious and indifferent tone, "The entire army retreats!"

Regardless of what others think or say, from his advantageous position taking over the main force of the naval fleet to the current state of the battle, as the commander, Kapil is very clear about the price he will have to pay, and he has also gained a new understanding. "Retreat, retreat is good!" Cecissian, with a hint of desolation in his eyes, looked at the coordinated efforts of the two Han Empire naval fleets, let out a long breath, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The hand that had been resting on Kapil's shoulder slowly fell off.

This made Capil, who already sensed something was wrong, instantly lunge at Cecissian, shouting, "Commander Cecissian!!"

"Quick, go get a doctor!" In a panic, Capil caught Cecissian and gently placed him on the deck. His words were filled with panic, and he didn't even have time to command the fleet to retreat and gradually move away from the battlefield.

Amidst various emergency calls and panicked sounds, Kemino looked at Cecissian's current state. After careful observation and probing, and under the expectant and watching gazes of everyone, he spoke up, "Cecissian's physical condition is not seriously affected; he is simply too exhausted and has entered a state where he needs to rest."

What kind of recuperation state is this? Even with so many people calling for him, he still can't wake up.
Those who are capable of serving as captains and are considered key members of the entire navy are quite self-aware.

Whether this matter is true or false, at least they have now lost Cecislian's command and observation.

Furthermore, they lost the soldiers' beliefs and fighting spirit solidified by Cecilielian.

"The fact that Commander Cecislian collapsed from exhaustion must not be told to anyone. Furthermore, our retreat must be accelerated." Kapil, who had already given the order, warned the people around him.

Meanwhile, Kapil also changed the original evacuation plan in a matter of moments, issuing the corresponding decision without consulting anyone else.

"Notify the ships engaged in frontline combat to entangle and delay the Han Empire's naval forces, allowing our army to accelerate its southward advance." Kapil, having already issued the relevant orders, stared at everyone present.

"Yes!" The people present exchanged glances, shook their heads in unison, indicating that they understood and would not violate the relevant regulations and tasks.

Sacrificing some ships and soldiers to save and allow more ships and soldiers to escape seems like a good deal.

Moreover, the soldiers on ships are, in most cases, not treated as soldiers; only a very few relatively outstanding officers would consider such matters.

"A brave man cuts off his own arm?" Looking at the enormous Kushan navy fleet, which did not retaliate under these circumstances but instead left some warships behind and began to flee south, even the usually cautious Zhou Yu was somewhat puzzled.

They had the advantage in manpower, the fleet, and even the ranged attack capability, yet they still managed to escape.

Seeing the Kushan navy's drastic measures, Zhou Yu's first thought was to charge forward, directly engage the enemy fleet and soldiers, and further expand the gains and victory.

Looking back at his own fleet and then at the Kushan fleet, Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then sighed. Ultimately, he abandoned such an option, choosing instead to save his own men and prevent further losses. (End of Chapter)
