Chapter 619: The ironclad fleet shocks the world, the desperate Sun Ce (2 updates!)

~6 min read 1,110 words

It is mainly because the treatment and life of the people under Su Xuan are too good.

Life is getting better day by day, and there is no differential treatment for those barbarians, basically treating them equally.

These barbarians are not fools; they can tell who treats them well.

They can also tell that life is better following the Lord.

Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to go against Su Xuan.

"Yes!"

Shamoke looks honest but is actually very cunning. He instantly understood the meaning of Su Xuan's words and immediately bowed solemnly: "Leave it to the end general! I will definitely not let you down, my lord!"

He only hopes that the barbarians in Jiaozhou are sensible. If they are, don't blame his big hammer for being ruthless.

Although they are all barbarians, not to mention that the barbarians in Jingzhou and the barbarians in Jiaozhou are not of the same clan;

Even if they were, they have completely integrated into the Han people of Jingzhou over the years and consider themselves completely different from other barbarians.

They don't think of themselves as barbarians; they think they are part of the Han people, are cultured people, and are not some barbarians!

Whoever says they are barbarians, they will get anxious with them.

The First Navy moved out, and that huge ironclad fleet could naturally not be hidden from the attention of countless people along the coast or other interested people.

"What is that? A big ship?"

"It seems to be true, but why does that big ship look like it's made of iron?"

"Are you kidding? How can an iron ship float? Besides, even if it can float, who can have so much iron to waste to build an iron ship? Do you know how much iron that requires?"

"Don't you have eyes? Tell me, if that ship reflecting light isn't made of iron, what is it made of?"

"Hiss! It really is!"

"It came from upstream, right? It looks like the King of Qian's navy!"

"Since when has the King of Qian's navy been so terrifying? Even iron ships have been built? Also, why are these iron ships emitting black smoke without sails?"

"......"

The first move of the navy shocked countless people.

In Danyang Commandery, Sun Ce, who had beaten Liu Biao into retreat and gained the upper hand in the battle for Jiangdong, happened to see the navy going east in Moling, Danyang Commandery.

"Hiss!"

Sun Ce stared at the ironclad fleet and couldn't help but gasp, saying in disbelief: "Fake, right? This is a ship? Iron? The King of Qian's navy?"

"Is he crazy? Actually using iron to build ships? What does he want to do?"

For a moment, Sun Ce only felt a chill down his spine.

Who can contend with such a navy?

It's a pity that as his territory continued to expand, he repeatedly defeated Liu Biao, beating Liu Biao into retreat, and his confidence grew stronger and stronger, feeling that even the King of Qian, Su Xuan, was just like that, and would definitely not be his match in the future.

But now, he felt he was too arrogant!

Su Xuan is still the Su Xuan of the past, and even more terrifying!

At this moment, Sun Ce recalled the scene of being easily defeated and captured by Su Xuan outside Xinye City.

"What do we have to resist such a navy?"

Sun Ce felt cold inside for a moment.

Zhou Yu on the side was actually also frightened by this ironclad fleet. Even seeing Sun Ce somewhat discouraged, he didn't know how to encourage and persuade Sun Ce for a while.

Because he also didn't know how they could break the situation in the face of such a fleet.

The problem is that things go far beyond this.

What it represents and reveals behind it is even more desperate!

Su Xuan can use refined iron to build iron ships. Clearly, he is not short of refined iron at all.

Even the surplus degree is far beyond their imagination.

Zhou Yu has not forgotten that Su Xuan has sold many iron military weapons over the years.

Even they have bought quite a few.

At first, they didn't understand why Su Xuan was willing to sell such high-quality iron military weapons to warlords on a massive scale, as if he wasn't afraid of aiding the enemy at all.

Now, Zhou Yu finally understands a little.

Because the other party has long been free in steel!

Their research in military weapons and warships has likely long been ahead of them.

Perhaps the high-quality iron military weapons they think are just garbage that Su Xuan has eliminated for I don't know how many generations.

"Such an unfathomable Su Xuan is truly despair-inducing."

But as Sun Ce's strategist, he cannot watch Sun Ce become so discouraged and decadent. Zhou Yu immediately scolded Sun Ce: "Bofu! Are you decadent just because you saw this iron ship? Are you ready to give up your great cause?"

"If so, then I think I misjudged you!"

Sun Ce was jolted by this head-on blow, but he didn't really cheer up because of it, but looked at Zhou Yu helplessly: "Gongjin! It's not that I'm decadent! But, seeing this iron ship fleet, do you really think we still have a chance to defeat the King of Qian, Su Xuan?"

"If not, then all our efforts now are just reflections in the water and flowers in the mirror, all in vain;"

"If that's really the case, we might as well have surrendered to Su Xuan early. Maybe we could have gotten the credit of following the dragon!"

He is stubborn, but he is not a fool!

Such a Su Xuan makes him very desperate.

Zhou Yu's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard this, thinking: "I know it too! But just letting me admit defeat and surrender like this, I'm not reconciled!"

If I had known this, I would have surrendered to Su Xuan from the beginning!

Now, no matter what, I have to fight and try, otherwise, how can I be convinced?

"Bofu! Su Xuan's navy might be invincible in the world, but what about the army?"

Zhou Yu advised immediately.

Sun Ce was even more speechless when he heard this.

"Gongjin! It would be better if you didn't say this. Once you say it, I feel even more desperate!"

"No one knows better than me how powerful Su Xuan's army is!"

"Have you forgotten that we were chased by Su Xuan's army in Lujiang and Jiujiang Commandery?"
