Chapter 1164 Waves on the Ocean
However, before the new legion was formed, a new piece of information reached Luoyang.
"One tenth of the debris of heaven is scattered within the small world ?"
Chen Xi took the information and felt that the fun was getting bigger.
I had previously planned to let the younger generation compete with the young people of Roman Britain, but I didn’t expect the opportunity to come so soon.
"Send a message to Liu Chan and the aristocratic families, anyone of them can snatch these things!" Chen Xi put down the information and gave the order.
According to the intelligence, now that everyone has the means to pull the remnants of heaven, these fragments of the remnants of heaven will appear randomly in the inner world, that is, the small world they have constructed. Not only in the Han Dynasty, but also Great Britain, Rome, Kushan, the Undead and other places will be pulled and appear.
The best way to snatch these valuable wreckages is to stay there with soldiers for a day and complete the traction ceremony.
In other words, the war has begun, and it is a war between the younger generation.
"Interesting, really interesting, I will win!" Li Shimin's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he recruited a strategist, Xu Maogong, or now he should be called Li Ji.
He had been hanging around in Taoism and was unwilling to take up an official position. However, when he came here to cultivate his small world, he and Li Shimin hit it off right away and he joined Li Shimin's army under a pseudonym.
"My lord, this war will involve competing with eight nations. The most troublesome point is not the young people from other countries!" Li Ji pointed out the hidden problem with a smile.
"According to the intelligence we have received, each country should send young people to participate in this battle. A 10% fight among eight countries may lead to a war, which each empire should avoid!" Li Shimin looked at Li Ji in confusion.
"Among the eight countries, the three South American countries are only in name only. In order to turn the tables, they will not give up this part of the benefits. Even the young people will be strengthened!"
Li Ji pointed out the problem. If we say that among the eight empires, the most shameless ones must be the three empires that were beaten to death by the Undead Empire. These three empires went from being real empires to now being able to barely resist the Undead Empire even after they have united as one.
On the one hand, the Undead Empire is getting stronger and stronger, especially Arthas who backstabbed humans, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden who backstabbed orcs and elves. As a result, most of the forces in the three empires have become Undead, and now they can only survive by banding together.
In order to survive, they will inevitably resort to some shameless means.
"You mean, our opponent will be an opponent with three talents?" Li Shimin became cautious. If they really faced this kind of national treasure, they would really be beaten.
"That would be breaking the rules of the game. There should be the Royal Guards, or something else." Li Ji shook his head. There was no intelligence in this regard, so he could only rely on guesswork.
"Are they non-staff members like Lu Meng and you?"
Li Shimin really frowned this time. Li Ji was very strong. Although he had been neglected for so many years, after investigating Li Ji, Li Shimin found that Li Ji was not only a strategist but also a commander of a large army, and his level was very high. At least at this stage, he could be hung up and beaten.
"Yes, they may all appear again!" Li Ji nodded with a wry smile. Sometimes, after giving up the bottom line, you will indeed gain some tangible benefits.
"That's really troublesome. What's more troublesome is that we have people like this here too!"
Li Shimin sighed, Wu Zhao, now you still have a royal guard under your command, the Immortal Guard, and a large army commander Wang Xiaojie.
With Wu Zhao as a precedent, who knows what weird things those three families will do.
What’s even more annoying is that these are indeed within the scope of the younger generation, and the opponents they will face in the future are indeed these people.
It’s easy to deal with Rome and Great Britain, but it’s really hard to deal with the Kushans and the Undead.
The Kushans are shameless, and it is unclear whether the dead have dignity.
"Hahaha, but this is what makes it interesting. Unknown opponents, unknown strength, and abundant benefits. This is war!" Li Shimin became excited. He liked this feeling of blood boiling.
No matter who his opponent is, he will fight him.
However, the expected battle has not yet occurred, but the war at sea has already broken out.
"Gongjin, do you really want to do this?" Huang Gai asked hesitantly.
"We have to do this. This incident is a lesson for us. If we encounter a strong opponent on land next time, will we have no choice but to surrender?"
Zhou Yu had a blank expression on his face. He had washed away the talents of a group of elite archers and planned to retrain a group of infantry.
Although there are Australian aborigines and barbarians from all over the world who can be trained into melee legions, they are far less reliable than our own people.
The Fourth Eagle Flag Legion gave him a good inspiration. The talent of fearlessness has a greater prospect, so even if there is a temporary lack of combat power, it can be tolerated.
The important thing is that they must have a group of melee troops of their own.
The natives and barbarians are, after all, only dependent forces. They can certainly be strengthened, but they can never become irreplaceable. That would be a potential threat to them.
It can be used, but it can never be relied upon.
The Southern Xiongnu back then has already explained it all. When the Han Dynasty was in decline, these usually docile Southern Xiongnu bared their ferocious fangs.
Therefore, the policy of the Han Dynasty was actually no different from that of Rome. At most, it added assimilation to the basis of exploitation.
After all, there are precedents for the Han Dynasty before it. For example, the Xiongnu prince who was captured by Huo Qubing eventually became the minister entrusted by Emperor Wu of Han. History and human nature are sometimes so absurd.
"Cooperation + Fearlessness?" Huang Gai still frowned. He didn't understand why Zhou Yu trained the new army like this.
"Although we are a melee force, we are the navy, and we at least need to be able to assist long-range forces. Otherwise, wouldn't we be sitting ducks if we just stay on the ship?" Zhou Yu shook his head.
He actually wanted to train an infantry corps that could be used for both long-distance and short-distance combat, but after training over and over again, he was unable to strike a balance between the two, so he could only adopt this method of training.
Fortunately, these archers from Jiangdong were born with natural shooting talents such as accuracy. Even if their talents were replaced, there were still not many flaws when aiming with naval guns.
Besides, the talent of fearlessness is not completely meaningless to the navy. Extreme weather at sea can also cause considerable trouble if one does not have a good psychological quality.
To be honest, the stormy weather at sea is obviously more terrifying and more ruthless than the enemy, but these soldiers behaved in an orderly manner when fighting against natural disasters. However, when facing the enemies rushing towards them, they always feel a fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Only a few people did not have it, and these few were all picked up by Sun Ce's Jiefan Army. Zhou Yu was like a good cook who could not cook without rice.
Compared to Zhou Yu, who still had Sun Ce's Jiefan Army to support him, Gan Ning and Zheng He had completely lost face.
So Gan Ning simply chose to recruit a group of new soldiers and planned to take them to experience the charm of the sea.
However, on the first day at sea, almost all of these new recruits lay down. Gan Ning recruited them from the north because he looked down on these infantrymen from the south.
As a result, a huge problem arose: seasickness.
Since ancient times, people in the south have boats and people in the north have horses. Southerners are born with their own boats, while northerners are born with their own horses.
The quality of this batch of new recruits was good. Gan Ning had originally wanted to quickly train them to have double talents, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such trouble on the first day.
"How about connecting the boats with iron chains?" After thinking about it, Gan Ning's men came up with a bad idea.
"Let's do it!" Gan Ning made the decision immediately, saying that this was a good idea. Using iron chains to connect the boats could completely connect the fleet into one. Not only could it withstand wind and waves, but it could also be as smooth as walking on flat ground. This was a good idea.
"By the way, remember to leave a loose knot on the iron chain so you can untie it directly when necessary!"
But Gan Ning was not stupid and he took out a layer of insurance for himself.
Sure enough, after the boats were connected by iron chains, the condition of his group of new recruits improved a lot, and they quickly adapted to life at sea.
"Let's go to the American continent!" Gan Ning was in high spirits and chose to go to the American continent.
Cecilian and Zhou Yu were stationed in the Indian Ocean, and there were no rivals in the Pacific Ocean. The caravans were all local, and there was nowhere to go if they wanted to plunder. So in order to train new recruits, Gan Ning sailed directly from Japan to North America.
Anyway, there is no ceasefire agreement with the Undead Empire, so they will interfere if they can. The Han Dynasty did not stop Gan Ning's behavior. The peace between empires is always relative. There is no such thing as complete peace.
What's more, the undead attributes of the undead mean that the two sides cannot coexist peacefully.
"Report, Governor, we spotted a large fleet nearby, should we give way?" The old soldier in reconnaissance reported anxiously. The scale of their training this time was not very large, and they were afraid that they would get nothing if they ran into a large fleet.
"Where is it? Fifty miles away?" Gan Ning flew up and looked around twice, but he couldn't figure out where the fleet was.
"It should be within fifty miles!" The old soldier was stunned and pointed in a direction.
"Nothing!" Gan Ning frowned. "How did you find out?"
"Vibration sound waves, I have the talent of the previous version of Ruishi!"
The old soldier said embarrassedly that he had developed his talent to a crooked level and had lost his fighting ability, but he had developed something similar to radar, which could detect things within fifty miles, so he ran to the sea to make a living.
"Hiss! From today on, you are the captain of the reconnaissance team!" Gan Ning took a breath and gave the old soldier an official position on the spot.
"Let's do a thorough scout to find out where it is. If it's what I thought, we might be in trouble today!" Gan Ning had a headache.
He had already guessed what the other party was, but he really hoped it wasn't those things.
"In... the sea? It's heading straight towards us!" After the veteran soldier carefully reconnaissanced for a long time, he also took a breath of cold air.
There is a large fleet in the sea, which means that the opponent's naval combat effectiveness will be outrageous.
"Get ready for battle. It looks like it's either a ghost ship or some other weird thing. It's definitely not ours!"
As one of the governors-general of the four seas, Gan Ning was very familiar with the naval capabilities of the Han Dynasty. He knew very well that they did not have a technology tree that could allow them to fight in the ocean, which meant that they were enemies.
"A warning signal has been sent, but the other side has not responded!" The escort fleet ahead also sent a message.
"The naval guns have begun to fire. Since there is no response, there is no way this can be resolved peacefully!"
Gan Ning took a deep breath. Fortunately, the fleets were connected together this time. The opponent obviously planned to disperse them directly. As long as they could withstand the first wave of attack and engage in boarding battle, they still had a chance of winning.
There are only a few creatures that can live in the ocean. As long as you can get into hand-to-hand combat, there is always a chance of winning.
"boom!"
Before Gan Ning could think of anything else, hundreds of tentacles stretched out from the bottom of the sea, wrapped around the fleet and attempted to pull it into the water.
“It’s these guys!”
Gan Ning was in a bit of a dilemma, as he encountered the Janna clan, a branch of the elves. These guys were considered a neutral force, but the aura of the dead emanating from them was clearly in the shape of an empire of the undead.
"Raise the fleet cloud and follow the tentacles into the sea!"
Gan Ning was well-informed, and he immediately adopted the correct method to target this kind of sea beast. As long as he used the legion attack to fiercely bombard the body of the sea beast, they would loosen their tentacles because of the pain.
"Report, Governor, these are undead creatures! They feel no pain!" After a round of bombardment, Gan Ning heard bad news.
But he had no time to make up for this mistake, because the undead fleet had already surfaced. They were all small boats, but these small boats were now combined with unknown undead to become veritable undead ships. Then these undead directly abandoned the small boats and climbed towards Gan Ning's ships.
"Bomb it hard with your naval guns!" Gan Ning yelled angrily, then drew out his sword and led his personal guards to rush towards an obviously larger Undead ship.
The undead of the Undead series all have a distinctive feature: as long as the opponent's commander is killed, the remaining undead will become headless flies.
But after Gan Ning completely destroyed the Undead ship with naval guns and legion attacks, the Undead still attacked Gan Ning and his men in an orderly manner.
It can be seen that these undead spirits really want to occupy the large ships under Gan Ning's command. They never hurt the ships, but instead want to kill living people and take away these large ships.
"Haha, I really was underestimated!" Gan Ning laughed in anger and immediately began to visualize gods and Buddhas, urging the pirate king's gods and Buddhas to stir up the sea, causing a whirlpool to form under the fleet.
"Since you don't come out, then don't come out again!"
Gan Ning sneered. The advantage of the Iron-Chained Boats was demonstrated. As long as the scale of the whirlpool was controlled within a certain range, his fleet would not suffer large-scale capsizing.
The Undead fleet is different. Although there are enough of them, they have no ability to resist this whirlpool.
However, Gan Ning's heart was bleeding at this moment. If this continued, his fleet would most likely be scrapped, and not many of them would be able to continue sailing.
The direct loss of a medium-sized fleet is also a huge loss for him.
