Chapter 1123： Naval operations

Lan Yezhou also nodded. Indeed, although the navy battle formation is the key, the more important thing is the warship.

The battleship is not good, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

He admitted that Zhou Yu's military formation was better than him, but what about the warships?

Jinshui Kingdom has developed navy for hundreds of years and has excellent warships. Can it be surpassed by the navy of Nanyan Kingdom in just a few days?

Stop teasing, it's impossible!

"Enclose!"

Lan Yezhou waved his hand, and the hundreds of naval warships on both sides of the military formation moved, going to both sides, wanting to enclose Zhou Yu's fleet from both sides.

He himself continued to move forward with the remaining fleet, and stopped immediately after reaching a suitable distance.

This distance is just beyond the attack range of one's own warship.

Lan Yezhou believed that Zhou Yu's fleet could not attack him at this distance.

Then he moved towards the location of Zhou Yu’s largest battleship, and said loudly: "Zhou Yu, Lu Feng sent you this little boy to die. Has your family agreed with you? Would you like to send someone to inform your family? , Tell them you were killed by me! Hahaha..."

"Hahaha!"

The navy on Lan Yezhou burst into laughter.

"Captain, the warships on both sides of the enemy have begun to surround us, should we temporarily retreat?" Zhou Yu's side, the deputy general is reporting.

"No need to."

Zhou Yu saw the changes in the enemy army. He said: "Let them continue to encircle, we are ready to supply, and we are ready to attack at any time by my orders."

Zhou Yu has been observing since the appearance of Lan Yezhou’s fleet. Facts have proved that everything is exactly as he thought. Although the navy warships of the Jinshui Kingdom are sophisticated, they are not as good as the Nanyan navy warships improved by Luban. .

With a bottom in his heart, Zhou Yu naturally won't have any fear.

"Yes!"

The deputy passed Zhou Yu's order.

"Why? Zhou Yu, when you see the general's fleet, are you scared to say anything?" Lan Yezhou's voice came again.

Then there was another sneer over there.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, he just ignored Lan Yezhou, but he didn't expect that Lan Yezhou would come again.

But what is the use of this low-level approach that disrupts the military's morale?

However, Lan Yezhou has spoken like this, and it wouldn't be nice if he didn't fight back.

"Lan Yezhou, is the promotion of the generals of the Jinshui Kingdom by mouth, not by ability?" Zhou Yu also said loudly.

"Hahaha!"

Similarly, Zhou Yu's army also burst into laughter.

Zhou Yu's remarks clearly meant that Lan Yezhou had worked hard at his mouth, but his actual ability was not good.

Simply put, the mouth is the king!

"Asshole!"

Lan Yezhou was furious and shouted: "Pass the order, attack!"

"The general governor, absolutely must not. Our encirclement has not yet been completed. Now once the offense scares Zhou Yu away, our goal of killing them all at once will not be accomplished." The lieutenant next to him said anxiously.

"Damn Zhou Yu!"

Lan Yezhou yelled angrily and said: "Give the order to this general, and I must capture Zhou Yu alive later, I will smash him into pieces!"

In order to wipe out Zhou Yu's fleet, Lan Yezhou resisted the urge to attack now.

"Yes!"

Lan Yezhou did not attack here, and Zhou Yu did not attack. Everyone was waiting.

Then, a very strange scene occurred at the edge of Yuanbin River.

Two huge fleets were on the river, the larger one was divided into three parts, and the smaller fleet began to be encircled.

And the small fleet stayed in place motionless, as if being frightened by the big fleet.

"What exactly does Zhou Yu want to do this time?"

Although in his heart he wished Zhou Yu a thousand swords, Lan Yezhou was always the navy chief of the Jinshui Kingdom, and he was not a fool.

Seeing Zhou Yu's fleet knowing that his fleet hadn't reacted when they were encircled, it was not a little strange in my heart.

However, no matter how strange he was, he couldn't understand why Zhou Yu's fleet dared to do this.

Don’t you know that after your own fleet is successfully encircled, you can easily destroy them by multiple attacks?

"General, is it possible that Zhou Yu wants to wait until we encircle and disperse our forces, concentrate firepower on one spot, and come to a center to blossom?" The lieutenant beside him said with some uncertainty.

"No, no, it can't be so."

Lan Yezhou shook his head and said: "If Zhou Yu really planned like this, then now is his best time to attack, because once we have successfully encircled the fleet, the fleet will be connected together, then he wants the center to blossom. It's just a dream."

"Zhou Yu's ability to set up a navy army formation without flaws shows that he must be proficient in military books and the like. Even if he has insufficient actual combat experience, he can see when the best attack opportunity is."

"He hasn't moved so far. There must be some calculation in it. We have to be careful."

"General Governor, I think you are too worried."

After Lan Yezhou's voice fell, another lieutenant beside him shook his head and said, "Captain, you see, we have more than 1,000 naval warships and more than four million troops."

"Look at Zhou Yu's battleship again. It is less than one-third of ours, and the number of troops is also less than one-third of ours."

"In this case, even if Zhou Yu has any calculations, how can he beat us? The strength of both sides is not on the same level at all!"

When Lan Yezhou heard this, his eyes lit up, yes, what he was thinking Zhou Yu had a calculation, but he forgot the most fundamental point.

The strength of the navy under his command far surpasses Zhou Yu, which can't be compensated by any calculation.

After figuring this out, Lan Yezhou laughed and said, "That's right, I would have to see how Zhou Yu and others would die!"

"If the order continues, ordering all warships to speed up the encirclement speed, absolutely cannot give Zhou Yu a chance to escape."

"Yes!"

When Lan Yezhou's order went down, the battleships of the Golden Water Kingdom immediately accelerated the speed of encirclement.

"Captain Commander, the enemy has accelerated the encirclement speed, no accident, the encirclement can be completed in half an hour!"

On Zhou Yu's side, the deputy general in charge of observation sent the news to Zhou Yu as soon as possible.

"Has it entered our attack range?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Not yet, it is expected to take another quarter of an hour."

"Continue to wait. After the enemy warships on both sides enter our attack range, we will report it as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Lan Yezhou's fleet, the middle fleet has long been within the attack range of the navy ships of the Nanyan Kingdom, but the fleets on the other sides have not yet arrived.

So Zhou Yu waited again.

Waiting for the opportunity to attack together, lest your own fleet exposes its firepower and scares off the fleets on both sides.

"The chief governor, the fleets on both sides have reported that they can enter the attack range of the battleship in two quarters of an hour and complete the encirclement at the same time!"

Lan Yezhou also got news from the battleship.
