On the sea, the Xanadu sailor cleaves the waves and sails at full speed.

However, at this time, more than a hundred small boats suddenly appeared upwind, under the clear sky, the boats were unobstructed, and all kinds of fire-starting things were piled up, and only one Nanyang player controlled the sails and galloped by the hunting sea breeze.

When the more than 100 sail boats sailed within a kilometer range, the cannon sound on the ships cruising on the periphery suddenly sounded. The dense dragon cannon carried a trail of black smoke directly towards the more than 100 small boats.

In a short time, under the intensive artillery fire, more than 100 small boats were all on fire. The Nanyang players on the ship jumped to escape long before the artillery fired. Covered by just a wave of artillery fire, the more than 100 small boats were reduced to ashes in the hunting sea breeze.

The battle report was soon delivered to the flagship. After listening to the battle report, Lu Yao's brows furrowed tightly.

This is already an attack on an unknown number of times, the scale is not large, there are only a hundred fireships at a time, but it is disgusting. In particular, the more than 100 fireships were scattered. At high speeds, even the most seasoned gunner could not hit the target with a single shot, and the only thing that could be effective was the artillery fire.

However, this raises an important question, which is extremely costly.

The Xanadu Naval Division revolves around the huge Qiankun building ship as the core, supplemented by ordinary building ships and stern fighting ships, and the entire fleet reserves enough materials to support several large-scale battles. But the disgusting raids on the Nanyang side are a great test for logistics.

In just two days, almost a tenth of the reserves have been depleted. This is a pretty bad sign. The consumption was huge, but the results were lackluster, and it could even be said that it was pitiful, only about 20,000 South Sea fireships were extinguished.

The effort is completely disproportionate to the gain.

Just when Lu Yao was muttering, a new battle report was sent from the rear, the same more than a hundred fireboats, the same consumption, which made his face even more ugly.

Nanyang people suddenly changed their playing style, which gave Lu Yao a headache. The news that the combined fleet of America has entered the South Seas has been sent by Suke. Now is the time to rush for time, and there is simply no way to use a more appropriate method.

When it comes to the right way to deal with it, he has it. The Paradise Sailor is now sailing at full speed, trying to reach the Lion City before the Combined American Fleet, so as to assist Li Zhongyu and the Li family to keep the Lion City. However, when sailing at full speed, the dragon cannon cannot accurately hit the target, reducing the cost.

So the solution to the problem came out, reducing the speed of the ship, thereby improving the accuracy of the dragon cannon.

But in this way, another problem comes to the fore...... The reduced speed means that the combined fleet of America in the rear is quickly closing the distance with itself.

In the moment of racing against time, where can this kind of loss be tolerated.

Want to reduce consumption? Or do you want to be the first to settle in the Lion City at all costs?

Lu Yao was so entangled that he was almost crazy. This is simply an unsolvable problem. To reduce consumption, you have to sacrifice time. To ensure a time advantage, you have to tolerate attrition. So in the end, he was the only one who suffered.

"Division?"

Lu Yao's heart suddenly moved, and he wanted to divide part of his forces to block the attack and ensure that the main fleet could sail at full speed, but as soon as he spoke, he was blocked by Zhou Yu.

"The lord can't, our army is lonely, and the enemy is outnumbered, how can we divide the army? The time and place are favorable, and our army has nothing. It is better to retreat than to advance. Zhou Yu admonished bitterly.

Lu Yao hesitated.

Zhou Yu said again: "Now the enemy army does not seek gains and losses, but only attacks and disturbances. The last general thought that the sea was vast, and troops could be sent from all sides, and if we divided our troops equally, wouldn't we just fall into the enemy's plan to divide and dissolve? ”

Lu Yao groaned, and had to admit that Zhou Yu's analysis was reasonable.

The goal of both sides is the Lion City. The constant attacks on the South Sea side are obviously creating opportunities for the Combined Fleet of America and America. Once the troops are divided, it can eliminate one road in the rear, but what about the other three roads in the front and left and right? Retreating 10,000 steps, the troops have been divided, and the four roads in the front and back and left and right have been blocked, but they can't stand the fact that people are the head snakes, and they can use the familiar terrain to complete the interspersed at any time and re-launch the attack.

The sea is so vast, how many times do you need to divide troops to completely prevent the Nanyang people from attacking and harassing?

Lu Yao was silent and asked, "Is there a way to crack it?" ”

Zhou Yu arched his hand and said: "Retreat is advance." ”

Hearing Zhou Yu mention retreating again, Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately thought about it. It is not difficult to understand that Zhou Yu clearly means to give up the opportunity to compete with the combined fleet of America for who will arrive in Lion City first, and advance steadily.

To tell the truth, Lu Yao also agrees with this method, and the only thing that has doubts is how to take back Lion City from the Americans in the future. According to Zhou Yu's advice, he can only fight an offensive and defensive battle that competes for hard power. This is an outcome that he does not want to see.

Of course, if the Chinese side opens up the road of the land countries of Southeast Asia, what does it matter if they fight an offensive and defensive war.

It's a pity that Jiaozhi is not a good person, and the Huaxia District has made a big attack, but it was blocked by the Jiaozhi monkeys using the jungle layer by layer, and the progress is almost zero.

Zhou Yu saw that Lu Yao was silent, knowing that he had misunderstood, and said again: "Lord, the art of war, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and fight it twice." Since our army is alone, we might as well hold on and wait for reinforcements. ”

When Lu Yao heard this, he suddenly felt that he had entered the misunderstanding of thinking again, forgetting that he was pursuing a first-mover advantage before, and he couldn't catch up with the troops from Zhuya, but now it is different.

Zhou Yu proposed to retreat as advance, then there was no need to consider grabbing time with the combined fleet of Asia and America, so it would be no problem to transfer more troops from Zhuya to the South Seas, and then gather all the forces to take Lion City in one go.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao blushed a little, thinking that he had made great progress and could replace the position of a famous general and fight independently, but now that he looks, although Zhou Yu is an NPC, when it comes to strategic vision and tactical vision, he is far from being able to do so.

"Just according to what Gongjin said."

……

"The Paradise Sailor suddenly stopped moving forward and diverted to Bintulu Port Malaysia?"

Wick was quite surprised to hear the latest information sent by Abayo. The result of the previous negotiation between him and Thomas is the same, it is a battle between the two sides to reach the Lion City first.

But now people suddenly stop playing with you.

"Who controls Bintulu Port?" Wick asked rhetorically.

"The Chen family recently reached an alliance with the Su family in Luzon." The person who came to be Abayo's cronies also had two brushes, and gave the answer without thinking.

Wick's brow furrowed even tighter.

He can see Lu Yao's intentions, relying on the forces of the Chen family, for the time being, he will not be afraid of the attacks of the Nanyangs, let alone logistics and supplies, so he can stick to it and wait for reinforcements, and draw more troops from Zhuya to go to the Nanyang. This was the last thing he and Thomas wanted to see.

In terms of hard power, after all, it is the Xanadu sailor who has the advantage.

Wick began to face up to Lu Yao's opponent, after all, the courage to decisively abandon the goals set before the war is not something that anyone has.

"I propose a full-scale attack on the port of Bintulu."

PS: I didn't expect Chapter 916 to be blocked. I'll try to change it and see if it can be released.
