The strength of the intelligence network has laid a military foundation, and as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

If the Feng army wants to cross the waters of the Yangtze River, it will inevitably face the resistance of the Chu army's naval division, and it is also necessary to find out the main general of the opponent's naval division first, which is also Lu Chen's consistent style.

Tang Man has a high evaluation of Wang Shuang, Lu Chen understands that Tang Man has always been cautious in doing things, especially military intelligence, and will never be untargeted, she can say this, which shows that Wang Shuang is indeed outstanding.

After a pause, he asked again, "How is the combat strength of the Chu Army's water division?" ”

Tang Man thought for a while and said: "I have never fought with our army, and Weichen does not dare to draw conclusions, but according to the intelligence of our army, the Chu army's naval division is different from the Chu army's foot soldiers, and its corporal and subordinate soldiers are all well-trained and live in the water area all year round...... Extremely difficult ......"

In the army, due to the difference in commanders and the different management of the army, there will be a gap in combat effectiveness, not to mention the difference in military branches, and the Chu army's naval division is different from its foot soldiers, which is also understandable.

After hearing this, Lu Chen nodded, and said: "In this way, our army is not good at water warfare, and the Chu army is not good at land warfare. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wang asked suspiciously, "What does the king mean ......?"

Lu Chen muttered: "If you want to cross the river without fighting with the Chu army sailors on the water, this is really a troublesome thing. Now, let's not discuss this for now, and wait until we reach the mouth of the three rivers and observe the topography of the waters. ”

A few days later, the Feng army set out from Baishi City and began to move from north to south, heading straight towards the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and there were no Chu army foot soldiers along the way to stop them.

At this time, the Chu army sailor, although Guo Hao has not yet come to serve as a supervisor, but Wang Shuang has already received the royal order of the eighth prince, in the royal edict, the eighth prince ordered Wang Shuang to strictly guard the territory of Chu and not let the wind army cross the Yangtze River!

Wang Shuang has nothing to say about this royal decree, as a general, it is his duty to protect the country, even if there is no royal edict, then he will still block the wind army from crossing the river.

The battalion of the Chu Army Naval Division.

Wang Shuangyi's general's armor, and the white armor of the Chu army, which is diametrically opposed to the Feng army, is a silver-white, silver helmet and silver armor, and a body of white.

After looking around at the generals for a week, he pointed to the location of Sanjiangkou on the sand table and said: "According to the report from the front, the Feng Army's foot soldiers have set off from Baishi, and the purpose should be Sanjiangkou, if there is no accident, Lu Chen, the Wind King, should also want to cross the Yangtze River from here and lead the army to the hinterland of my Chu State!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a partial general interjected: "General, the last general heard that this time, the Feng Army is to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regain the throne, and we ......."

Hearing this, Wang Shuang glared directly at the partial general, and said coldly: "Regardless of these first, we are all generals of the Chu army, how can we let the army of our country enter my Chu land!?" ”

When the general heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head slightly, clenched his fists and said, "What the general taught is that it is the last general who lost his words." ”

"That's it!" Wang Shuangyi waved his hand and said, "Now, let's discuss the Wind Army!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to one of the partial generals and asked, "General Liu, let's tell me the general situation of the enemy army first." ”

"No!" General Liu responded, and then Zhengse said: "According to the intelligence of our army, this time the Feng army, a total of 350,000 people, including the Pingzhou army of the Wind King Division, and the 150,000 people of the Yuan Jing Army, however, these are all foot soldiers, and the Feng Country army, although brave and good at fighting, but it is also on land, if you talk about water warfare, it should not be the opponent of our army." ”

"In addition, this time the wind army, the main figure at the top is the wind king Lu Chen. Secondly, it is Xiao Wang, the prime minister of Zuo, Ai Hu, the commander of the original Jing army, Zhao Chuan, the general, Qingyang, and the wisdom of Liu Yuan and Chen Qun......"

"En......" After listening to this, Wang Shuang nodded slowly, his appearance was quite resolute, it was a kind of national character face, and he had a short beard on his chin.

After a pause, he said: "Judging from the lineup of the Wind Army, it is indeed extremely intimidating, if it is fought on land, I dare not touch its edge. But this is above the waters, the Wind King Lu Chen, although he is a generation of heroes, but when it comes to the use of troops on the water, he has to stand aside. ”

"And Xiao Wang, although he is a famous general in the world, his reputation is far and wide, and he has fought many famous battles, but he still says that on the water, Ben Shuai is not afraid of him at all!"

"Ai Hu, the commander of the Yuan Jing Army, the use of troops is decent, and it is not worth mentioning!"

"As for Zhao Chuan Qingyang, although these two people have the courage of ten thousand people, on land, they can break thousands of troops, but they are only the courage of horses, and in the battle of the river, this commander will let them know the power of my Chu army!"

"Liu Yuan, Shunzhou celebrity; Chen Qun, who was always in the army, these two people are known for their resourcefulness, although they have some talents, but they are useless here. ”

He said so much in one breath, and among what he said, he said all the main figures of the Feng Army, and when the generals of the Chu Army heard this, they first glanced at each other in unison, and then nodded in agreement.

One of the partial generals said: "General, since the Feng Army is not good at water warfare, then our army can design at the mouth of the three rivers and trap them all on the water!" ”

When Wang Shuang heard this, he first groaned for a while, and then waved his hand and said: "There is no need to worry about this in advance, the most important thing for our army now is to make preparations before the battle, and then make a decision when the two armies meet." ”

Half a month later, the Feng army arrived at Sanjiangkou and began to set up a temporary camp.

The two armies of Feng and Chu looked across the river.

The huge river is endless.

The topography of the Sanjiangkou is not too complicated, the water flow here is not turbulent, the water area is extremely wide, and due to the arrival of the wind army, the fishermen here do not dare to go out of the boat again.

After Lu Chen led his army to arrive here, he first stationed a large camp, and then acquired some fishing boats, which were simply modified to be used as light warships for intelligence exploration.

Subsequently, he ordered the relevant technicians to begin to guide the construction of large naval warships.

At that time, most of the warships were two-tiered, with the lower floor and more than a dozen oars on each side, which were used by sailors for rowing, and the upper floor was where the crossbowmen stood and shot arrows.

To build a warship, the amount of wood required is huge, but because Lu Chen's side has prepared in advance, and there are more sergeants, it is not very difficult to cut wood, and the technicians in building warships, a country, naturally will not lack these, and it is only a matter of time to complete these tasks.

However, before that, Lu Chen convened a meeting of the generals, and in the process of discussion, he proposed a strategy: open shipbuilding, secret smuggling.

In other words, he was ready to build a warship on the show to make due noise, but secretly, he used a raft to smuggle across the river in the middle of the night.
