Chapter 614
The strength of the intelligence network has laid the military foundation. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy, one will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
If the Feng Army wants to cross the Yangtze River waters, it will definitely face the obstacles of the Chu Navy. It is also necessary to investigate the opponent's naval commander first, which is also Lu Chen's usual style.
Tang Man has a high evaluation of Wang Shuang. Lu Chen understands that Tang Man has always been cautious in his work, especially military intelligence, and will never be aimless. If she can say this, it means that Wang Shuang is indeed outstanding.
After pausing, he asked again: "How powerful is the Chu Navy's combat power?"
Tang Man thought for a while and said, "I have never fought with our army, so I dare not draw conclusions. However, according to our army's information, the Chu Navy's Navy has different Chu infantrymen, and the soldiers of the army are well-trained and live in water areas all year round. If you fight with them on the water, it may be... extremely difficult to deal with..."
In the army, due to different commanders and different military commands, there will be differences in combat power, not to mention the different military branches. It is understandable that the Chu navy is different from its infantry.
After hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and said, "In this way, our army is not good at water warfare, and the Chu Navy is not good at land warfare. Once he fights with it on the ground, the Chu Navy will be like a slaughter of cattle and sheep."
Hearing this, Xiao Wang asked in a suspicious voice: "The king means..."
Lu Chen pondered: "It is really a troublesome to cross the river and not fight against the Chu Navy on the water. Now, let's not discuss this for now. When we reach the mouth of Sanjiang River, we will observe the terrain of the water."
A few days later, the Feng army set out from Baishi City and began to go from north to south, heading straight towards Sanjiangkou. There were no Chu infantrymen obstructing him along the way.
At this time, although Guo She had not come to serve as the military supervisor, Wang Shuang had already received the order from the Eighth Prince. In the imperial edict, the Eighth Prince ordered Wang Shuang to strictly guard the territory of Chu and not allow the Feng army to cross the Yangtze River!
Wang Shuang had nothing to say about this king's order. As a general, protecting the country was his responsibility. Even without Wang Zhao, he would still block the Feng Army from crossing the river.
Chu Army Navy Camp.
Wang Shuang was wearing general armor, with a white cloak behind him. The armor of the Chu army was completely opposite to Feng Jun. It was a kind of silver white, silver helmet and silver armor, and white.
After looking around the generals for a week, he pointed to the Sanjiangkou location on the sand table and said, "According to the investigation ahead, the Feng Army infantry has set out from Bai Shi, and the purpose should be Sanjiangkou. If nothing unexpected happens, Feng Wang Lu Chen should also want to cross the Yangtze River from here and lead his army to the hinterland of our Chu State!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a slander interrupted: "General, the last general heard that Feng Jun is here to help His Highness the Crown Prince regain the throne, we..."
Hearing this, Wang Shuang glared at the sideline general and said coldly: "No matter what, we are all generals of the Chu army. How can we let other countries' troops enter our Chu territory!?"
Hearing this, the side general quickly lowered his head slightly, clasped his fists and said, "What the general taught me is that the last general was wrong."
"Okay!" Wang Shuangyi waved his hand and said, "Now, let's discuss Feng Jun!"
As he spoke, he turned his eyes to one of the side generals and asked, "General Liu, let's talk about the general situation of the enemy first."
"No!" General Liu responded, and then said seriously: "According to our army's information, the Feng army has a total of 350,000, including the Pingzhou army of the King of Feng and the Yuan Jing army of 150,000. However, these are all infantrymen. Although the Feng Kingdom army is brave and good at fighting, it is also on land. If it comes to water wars, it should not be our opponent."
"In addition, the most important figure in Feng Jun this time is Feng Wang Lu Chen. Secondly, the left prime minister Xiao Wang, the former commander of Jing Jun Ai Hu, General Zhao Chuan, General Qingyang, Liu Yuan and Chen Qun's wisdom..."
"Well..." After hearing this, Wang Shuang nodded slowly. His appearance was quite strong, with a national face with short beards on his chin.
After pausing, he said: "From the lineup of Feng Jun, it is indeed extremely intimidating. If I fight on land, I dare not touch its edge. But this is above the water. Although Feng King Lu Chen is a hero of a generation, if it comes to using troops on the water, he has to stand aside."
"Although Xiao Wang is a famous general in the world, and has a lot of famous battles, he still said that on the water, I am not afraid of him at all!"
"Ai Hu, the former commander of the Jingjun, is not worth mentioning when using troops in a proper manner!"
"As for Zhao Chuan Qingyang, although these two men are not brave enough to be brave enough to break thousands of troops on land, they are just brave enough to fight in the river. This general will let them know the power of our Chu Army Navy!"
"Liu Yuan, a famous scholar in Shunzhou; Chen Qun, always served as the Jingjun to join the army. These two people are good at wisdom and have some talents, but they have no place to use their skills here."
He said so much in one breath, and as he said all the main characters of the Feng Army, the generals of the Chu army first looked at each other at the same time, and then nodded in agreement.
One of the side generals said: "General, since the Feng Army is not good at water battles, our army can design it at Sanjiangkou and lure it all on the water surface!"
When Wang Shuang heard this, he pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. Now the most important thing for our army is to prepare for the pre-war period. When the two armies meet, then make a decision."
Half a month later, the Feng Army arrived at Sanjiangkou and began to build a temporary camp.
The two armies of Feng Chu look across the river.
The huge river surface is endless.
The terrain of Sanjiangkou is not too complicated, the water flow here is not turbulent, and the water area is very wide. Due to the arrival of the wind army, all the fishermen here dare not leave the boat again.
After Lu Chen led his army to the place, he first stationed the camp, and then purchased some fishing boats and modified them simply for use as a light warship for inquiries about information.
Afterwards, he ordered relevant technicians to start guiding the construction of large naval warships.
At that time, most of the warships were two floors, one floor at the bottom, and there were more than ten oars on both sides, which were used by sailors to paddle, and the one on the top was where the crossbowmen stood and shot archers.
To build a warship, the amount of wood is required, but because Lu Chen has prepared in advance and there are many sergeants, it is not difficult to log. However, a country will naturally not lack these when building warships. It is only a matter of time before these tasks are completed.
However, before this, Lu Chen summoned all the generals to discuss a soldier. During the discussion, he proposed a strategy: build ships openly and smuggle secretly.
