The second elder of Kong Ming was secretly excited, and he had been wandering for most of his life, but he didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing now. In fact, in their opinion, it was just an ordinary war, and who won and who lost had nothing to do with them, even if Hua Tingguo went on an expedition.

In some places, the second elder of Kong Ming and Han Xiao are actually very similar, and they still look at these things with the mentality of a monk more often than with the mentality of a warrior, and there is a big gap between them. After all, what the monk cares about is his personal strength and how his personal strength can be played on the battlefield. But a qualified warrior always thinks about how much role they can play on the battlefield, and when they think about these issues, they will not take cultivation as everything, they will have many, many means at their disposal.

This time, the second elder of Kong Ming can be regarded as completely gaining knowledge, the so-called whirling cloud array obtained by the small country alliance, if it is placed in the past, the second elder of Kong Ming will never pay attention to it, this kind of thing that can only be put in the water They would not even think that it could be used on the battlefield, but when they saw a small whirling cloud array that almost forced the huge Huating Kingdom into a desperate situation, they understood the deviation of their thoughts.

As for the coffin cannon used by Bai Yi later, as well as the overall dispatch of the commander of the Huating Fleet on the battlefield, they completely understood that the war was like this, and it was not as simple as they thought. Fortunately, at least they realized it before it went wrong, and they were immediately interested in the war.

Maybe this is the old naughty boy's thoughts, just like Situ Han has to follow Han Xiao and them to the sea when he is old, after all, he is old and used to seeing too many winds and waves, even if he still wants to go further in the cultivation realm and let himself have a longer lifespan, but once they encounter something fun, they still hope to find more fun from it. Come to think of it, if a person who has lived for nearly two hundred years only thinks about cultivation all his life, even if nothing happens, he may be tortured to death by his own inner demons.

Now the camp of Huating Kingdom has almost become a cheer, two days ago it has always fallen into a state of silence, all the Huating Kingdom monks do not have too much hope for this battle, after all, as long as the Whirling Cloud Array is there, they will not be able to impact the past, it is impossible to win here, Shen Zhuo even thought of giving up the water war, should attack by land, but in this way, from the supply of resources to the distribution of troops, it is completely different from the water war, and the most important thing is that the consumption will be greater when attacking the city, which is the last thing Shen Zhuo wants to see.

As a result, it was only two days, they advanced thirty zhang on the battlefield twice, and at such a distance, they successively damaged the enemy's warships, especially today, when the coffin cannon was successful, Shen Zhuo even seemed to have seen the hope of victory. The scariest thing about the coffin cannon is its deterrent power, not how many ships it can really destroy. After all, for those monks of the Alliance of Small Countries, the existence of the coffin cannon is a very mysterious thing, they may guess that the conditions for the coffin cannon to fire are very harsh, but they will never guess how many coffin cannons there are in Huating Country, and how many gunners can control the corpse cannon to attack.

The most terrifying thing for the monks of the Alliance of Small Nations now is the unpredictability of the future development of the war, they do not know what will happen next, they do not know what kind of accidents will occur on the battlefield tomorrow, they do not even know whether tomorrow's battle will be a decisive battle or a continuation of the fierce battle.

The low-level monks of the Small Nations Alliance are already like this, and those bigwigs naturally can't let them fight anymore. When the next day's dawn came, when Hua Tingguo's fleet re-attacked the Hengjiang battlefield, he found that all the warships on the other side had cowered in the harbor, and at such a distance, even if Bai Yi controlled the coffin cannon, he could no longer succeed, and Hua Tingguo's fleet could only temporarily withdraw its troops. But this time, instead of making the Huating Kingdom monks feel depressed, they made them even more excited.

Previously, they had not been able to conquer the battle line of the Alliance of Small Nations, because they had never been able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy's warships, and they had not been able to rush past the Whirling Cloud Formation on the Hengjiang River. But after the first two days of fighting, the other side's avoidance of fighting now can only show that they are completely timid, and the generals of those small countries hold down their subordinates and prevent them from fighting, although they have kept their safety and their own safety, but they have completely given up their morale and military spirit. If this avoids fighting for a little longer, the end result will be a complete rout of the alliance of small nations, and a large number of monks will flee.

By now, they have seen the hope of victory, and it is very likely that it is the kind of beautiful victory of the soldiers who surrender without a fight, in this case, the monks of Huating Kingdom are naturally full of joy, and now they are even happier because of the arrival of their queen Wuyue, and from the mouths of those who have seen Qin Wuyue, the current Highness Wuyue seems to have recovered his former demeanor, his silver hair is extremely flowing, and his former beauty seems to have been restored. These monks naturally did not admire Qin Wuyue's demeanor, but in their hearts, Qin Wuyue's "premature decline" was caused by the restoration of the Huating Empire, and now of course they hope that Qin Wuyue can get some compensation.

Now the situation has stabilized to the extreme, the alliance of small countries on the opposite side has completely lost the idea and even the ability to resist, and the return of Qin Wuyue in the Huating country camp has made everyone see the hope of continuing to win, and they will also win the battle in Hengjiang, and the next battle may even be a thousand miles in a day, and it is not impossible for even three or five small countries in ten days and half a month.

The overall situation is getting smoother and smoother, and Han Xiao and Iron Hammer still need a period of time to recuperate after all, Zhao Gangdan has not rushed back for the time being, and now Han Xiao and they seem to be a little idle in the water camp of Huating Country, which is something they didn't expect before. In Han Xiao's opinion, they just fought two battles that had nothing to do with victory at all, and the result became the way they are now.

Sitting in the big tent, Han Xiao, who had been thinking about it for many days, finally couldn't help but ask, "Pang Ying, why do you say they have to gather here in Hengjiang to fight?"

"Hmm, why?" Pang Ying was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and then asked, "Why do you have such thoughts?"

"I just can't figure out why they're doing this, so I'm asking you. Han Xiao also scratched the back of his head and asked, he was now curious: "Look, isn't this just that there is a whirling cloud array on the river to block their attack, but their purpose is to attack those small countries, why don't they just bypass here, abandon the Hengjiang battlefield, and then make a detour to land from other places, and then advance to the cities of those small countries little by little, wouldn't it be better, why bother to waste it here." If this whirling cloud array really can't be broken, can it be said that this campaign has failed like this?"

Han Xiao's question was actually lingering in the hearts of the second elder Kong Ming for a long time, and when they finally heard Han Xiao ask like this, they realized that they were not the only ones who didn't understand, they had experienced a big war together, and Ji Kong was already much more familiar with it, and immediately nodded on the side and said: "Yes, why do you have to fight here, this road doesn't lead to another way, anyway, Huating Country is strong, even if you attack on land, you can still win." ”

Seeing that Han Xiao and the two elders of Kong Ming looked curious, and even looked strongly curious, Pang Ying glanced at each other with Iron Hammer and King Zhuge , and finally asked, "Did I say this or did you say this?"

King Zhuge just smiled, but the hammer simply waved his hand and said, "You say, this kind of idiotic question can be asked, and there is no cure." ”

Han Xiao and Kong Ming were not annoyed at all, they looked at Pang Ying with the eyes of a little apprentice looking at the master, Pang Ying could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this, and said: "Because the decisive battle here is the most strategically valuable." ”

"Well, you go on. Han Xiao nodded and urged.

"In fact, war is not as simple as we think, sometimes it is necessary to care very much about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, but sometimes if the pattern of a big war is raised, the overall strategy is actually the most important. To put it bluntly, if it involves a war between two or even many countries, and there is obviously a difference between strength and weakness, then the most important thing in such a war is to see who is more clever in the strategy formulated by the commanders of both sides. Only when strategic thinking can be on the same level will it be possible to continue the next big war. The difficulties in the Battle of Hengjiang were not so much caused by the alliance of small countries to Hua Tingguo, but rather caused by Hua Tingguo himself. Pang Ying said very seriously.

Han Xiao and Kong Ming were still confused, and now they looked at Pang Ying as if they were looking at monsters: "I don't understand, what are you talking about?"

"Take your time. Pang Ying let out another long sigh and said again: "My lord, have you ever thought about why Hua Tingguo kept announcing that he was going to attack these small countries before the war, and he also made it very clear that he was going to attack from Hengjiang?"

"I've thought about it, I feel like this is being majestic, I really don't know how to do things with a bit of strength, in my opinion, how good it is to sneak out on the expedition, if you directly attack here at the beginning, the whirling cloud array on the opposite side will not have a chance to come down, we will have a chance to kill them, why not, we have to let the other party prepare for the expedition again, this is not asking for trouble. Han Xiao said his thoughts very directly, anyway, he knew that even if he said something wrong, someone would definitely correct it.

Sure enough, as soon as Han Xiao finished speaking, Pang Ying had already shook his head and said, "My lord thinks like this, but he is very wrong. ”
