God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Youth is Zhou Yu's most important asset and his greatest asset.

Talent and logistics are useless on the current battlefield if they cannot be converted into corresponding combat power and capabilities.

Only those who possess the ability to survive Cecislian's attacks in a short period of time are qualified to talk about growth and progress.

The waters east of the Strait of Malacca appear vast, but in reality, they are teeming with hidden reefs and strong currents.

After this period of exploration and investigation, in addition to understanding and harassing the Kushan naval forces in the Strait of Malacca, we have gained a more comprehensive understanding of the aquatic environment of this area.

In addition to the corresponding waters, they also know the corresponding islands, which places can be used as transit points, which places can be used for ambushes, and which places can be used to store supplies.

Although he desperately wanted to kill the enemy in one battle and bury that old man Cecislian in the sea, reality dictated that this was just a dream, and Zhou Yu could only prepare for a long war.

Coordinate a large amount of military supplies, circulate military forces and logistics, and then implement the "eagle-keeping tactic" to prevent the enemy from resting or giving them any opportunity to rest.

"It has been half a month now, and the Kushan navy in the Strait of Malacca is becoming increasingly slow and sluggish in its response to us." Standing at the bow of his warship, Zhou Yu looked at the western horizon and made an accurate prediction about the Kushan fleet's reaction in that direction.

"Compared to their initial reactive response, the Kushan navy is now reacting to us about half as slowly, and some fleets are even ignoring our harassment..." Standing next to Zhou Yu, Han Dang turned to look at the hourglass fixed to the ship and gave an approximate time.

The time that an hourglass can calculate is quite stable, and even if there is an error, it will not be too large.

However, this error is relatively larger on the ocean, even when it is fixed to a ship.

However, this error is negligible for their current calculations.

“There was no more stress response; all their actions and behaviors were filled with helplessness…” Zhou Yu withdrew his gaze and guessed the Kushan soldiers’ feelings at this moment, and then spoke them out.

For soldiers, the best way to deal with enemy harassment is to kill the enemy so that the harassment will stop and not affect the soldiers' normal routine.

However, if there is no way to kill the opponent, or even catching up with the enemy becomes a pipe dream, then one can only endure this harassment.

However, this tolerance has its limits. Once those limits are exceeded, soldiers will instinctively resist, becoming impatient, irritable, and easily angered.

Under such circumstances, from the lowest-ranking soldiers to the corresponding sergeants and commanders, everyone will be affected by these emotions, which may lead them to make some irrational decisions.

Even without engaging in irrational behavior, it will significantly weaken their fighting spirit and reduce their willingness to continue fighting.

It can be said that the attitude currently displayed by the Kushan naval soldiers is almost identical to the situation discussed. The state and appearance of the Kushan soldiers, unable to withstand this harassment and attacks, are simply too tempting.

"The enemy's morale is low. If our army seizes the opportunity and turns a routine attack into a main offensive, we will surely inflict heavy losses on the enemy, and even win the battle in one fell swoop, completely taking over the entire Strait of Malacca. Then we won't need to spend so much time and pay such a high price to slowly advance our predetermined goals." Han Dang's words carried a hint of anticipation. The possibility of his master doing this was extremely high, and the benefits of success would be enormous.

If the Southern Navy could take control of the entire Strait of Malacca on its own, without the help of the Northern Navy, the benefits and rewards they would receive would surpass any previous instance.

“Yes, the enemy’s morale is low, which is indeed a golden opportunity.” Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and said quite calmly, “But Cecisian is still in the Strait of Malacca. Regardless of his condition or morale, he is an absolutely crucial pillar.”

Han Dang, awakened by this revelation, instantly came to his senses, carefully pondered the profound meaning behind it, and after some time, he understood.

With such outstanding commanders as precedents, and with such commanders having extremely impressive battle records, how could the soldiers' combat effectiveness and morale possibly decline so quickly?

Is it possible to wear down the morale of an invincible naval fleet in just half a month?

Just thinking about it makes it clear that such a thing is unlikely.

If such a thing is unlikely, then what should be done next?
"It seems you understand." Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, then quickly added, "Some things could be said to have hidden dangers from the very beginning."

The entire southern naval force of the Han Empire challenged the naval force of the Kushan Empire in the Strait of Malacca. Ultimately, it was a case of the weak facing the strong, and a slight miscalculation could result in severe damage.

Therefore, whether it's long-range strikes or resupply along the way, the Southern Navy and the Strait of Malacca still maintain a delicate distance.

This was to prevent the Kushan army from launching a direct attack at a crucial moment, thus better protecting the few soldiers behind them.

"I see. Is there a high probability that this is a trap set by the other side?" Han Dang, understanding the deeper meaning, nodded thoughtfully and then learned about the implications.

After all, once people have experienced a certain amount of life, they can quickly form a certain impression by comparing and contrasting different things.

"It seems that old man Cecissian is not only good at battlefield command, but has also learned a lot of other skills..." Looking at the newly raised flag of the Kushan Navy, Han Dang frowned, but finally focused his attention on the Strait of Malacca itself.

The Strait of Malacca, which isn't particularly wide, is now seen by many as a new route, a route that is safe enough for the army.

"He's practically halfway to the grave. For someone with such exceptional talent to only have these few items is already terrifying." Looking at the distant flag, Han Dang's eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of disdain, yet he had no choice but to accept the status quo.

The fact that the Kushan navy came to intercept them this time was a clear sign of disrespect.

Even though the distance is considerable and the probability of success is low, taking them down won't be easy. (End of Chapter)
