Chapter 805: A Great Victory
"Retreat! We have done our best, the rest depends on God's will!" After Zhou Yu's ship sank, Takeda Shingen turned to Abe Haruaki and said.
"Help me take some more people away, is that ok?"
"Yeah!" Abe Haruaki did not refuse, he did have this ability.
As dozens of tentacles emerged from the bottom of the sea, dozens of Japanese officers were directly swept away. They did not refuse the message from Takeda Shingen, as they also understood that the situation was hopeless.
The stone octopus on the seabed grabbed these people with its tentacles and lurked towards the deeper ocean.
Only marine creatures like it can do this so easily.
And a few seconds after he left, a pillar of light shot up into the sky and appeared between heaven and earth.
Zhou Yu's ship sank.
Sun Ce, who was originally using his legion talents and monarch talents to charge forward on the front line and having a lot of fun, suddenly looked back the moment Zhou Yu's ship sank.
Zhou Yu's ship sank and Zhou Yu disappeared!
At this moment, Sun Ce was stunned, his brain was almost blank, and he even forgot that this was a battlefield. The enemy soldiers seized the opportunity and stabbed him.
Sun Ce's mind was blank, and even his body's instincts stopped. He did not dodge or evade, and was just pierced by the soldier's spear.
Although the injured area healed instantly due to the recovery of strength, Sun Ce completely exploded.
"You are all going to die!"
The furious Sun Ce displayed amazing strength, almost instantly breaking through the limitations of heaven and earth and reaching a level he had never imagined .
He swept the spear in his hand, releasing all his internal energy, and a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth descended on him almost instantly.
Sun Ce roared and swept his spear across. The terrifying power directly destroyed all the ships and soldiers on the opposite side. Even the sponge was cut by Sun Ce, leaving a mark that took a long time to heal.
“Kill kill kill kill kill!”
At this moment, Sun Ce was so angry that he was charging into the sky like a runaway tank, destroying everything in his path.
It took less than a breath of time to completely crush the Japanese front line.
After crushing it, Sun Ce jumped into the sea without hesitation and began to search for Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu, who was resting under the sea, opened his eyes instantly after feeling a surge of rage rising into the sky.
"It's over, forget about Bofu's reaction!" Zhou Yu shook his head. When he was thinking about getting out of the water, Sun Ce had already come to his side with a beam of light rising into the sky.
"Gongjin, you're okay!"
After seeing that Zhou Yu was safe and sound, Sun Ce's aura suddenly disappeared, and the pillar of light that originally reached the sky and the earth seemed to have never existed.
"Oh, that's right, how could you be killed!" Sun Ce hit his head.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Let's go, we've already won!"
"Ohhh, yes, we won!"
After seeing that Zhou Yu was fine, Sun Ce's mind, filled with joy and sorrow, calmed down again.
Even though he didn't know why Zhou Yu said they won, he just believed in Zhou Yu's judgment.
"Rescue the soldiers who fell into the water and see how many can be saved!" Zhou Yu casually gave the order after returning to the boat.
There is no need to worry about the frontal attack anymore. Sun Ce, Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai have already started to advance. It is estimated that the enemy will completely collapse in a few moments. At that time, we can just accept their surrender and be done with it.
On the contrary, the soldiers who fell into the water are a big problem. Because of his previous orders, no one knows how many people are now soaking in the water. Some of them may even faint because of soaking in the water for too long with injuries.
After dealing with the trivial matters, Zhou Yu began to silently think about the impact and gains of this war.
After experiencing a great battle, Zhou Yu knew what he really needed now.
Compared to continuing to develop from scratch, for Zhou Yu now, integrating and learning from the past and applying it to the present is more important than anything else.
Moreover, compared with other forms of battle such as jumping ship battles, cannons and giant ships are the mainstream of future development.
If he filled the ship with naval guns this time, even if Takeda Shingen maneuvered towards him, he could directly use the naval guns to send the opponent to death.
Close combat is a necessary form, but it is the last resort.
In contrast, vigorously developing long-range attacks is what the navy needs to do most.
Just as Zhou Yu was thinking, Taishi Ci came over in a disheveled state. Overall, Taishi Ci had almost no room to perform this time and was basically just a slacker.
"Commander-in-chief, have we taken the wrong road?" Taishi Ci asked in confusion.
"No, not at all. On the contrary, we are on the right track, and you will be the most important link in the future!" Zhou Yu looked at Taishi Ci and said solemnly.
In the future era of cannons and giant ships, Taishi Ci's talents will have a bigger stage to play. If Taishi Ci's talents can be used to research and develop circular firing naval guns, then the Han Dynasty's navy will become the most powerful navy in the world.
"Really?" Taishi Ci looked at Zhou Yu solemnly. He could feel Zhou Yu's sincerity, but he didn't understand why.
He was really filled with anger in this battle. Whether it was the previous naval gunfire or the subsequent charge, his advantages were all restricted, and he was no different from ordinary officers.
His performance was not even as impressive as Wen Pin's, which made him doubt himself greatly. However, after hearing what Zhou Yu said, he regained his confidence. At least they won the battle.
"You also go and help rescue the soldiers who fell into the water. I will go to organize the rescue of the soldiers!" Zhou Yu didn't care when his thoughts were interrupted by Taishi Ci. Instead, he devoted himself to rescuing the soldiers.
Anyway, he has grasped the key points, and it won’t be too late to think about the rest when he finds a safe place.
He finally understood the value of the sky garden that Chen Xi and Guo Hao spent almost one-fifth of the country's budget to develop.
If he applied the idea he had just obtained to the Sky Gardens, he would have a giant ship and the only thing left would be the naval guns.
Zhou Yu couldn’t even imagine how many naval guns the Sky Gardens could accommodate due to its huge size. What kind of monster the Sky Gardens would become by then.
Previously, they thought that the Sky Garden was a mobile supply station with high strategic value.
Now it seems that Guo Hao and Chen Xi went there with the goal of ending the battlefield with long-range bombing.
"The form of war has been rewritten. The era of ground forces being the main force is over. In the future, it will be a mode of firepower bombing and then harvesting the battlefield?" Zhou Yu thought to himself.
"No, you can use this on the ocean, but not on land!"
After thinking about the great power of the legions commanded by Han Xin and others, as well as the beauty of the Hanging Gardens, Zhou Yu felt that times did not seem to have changed much.
However, this idea is definitely feasible in the ocean.
