Chapter 315: Soldiers approach Fankou.

Xuzhou, Weishan County.

After Li Chen stayed at home for two months and his health finally improved. Li Chen was in good health and immediately had to prepare for war and send troops to Dongwu.

Li Chen raised a total of 300,000 troops on the water route, and was known as a 700,000 army to the outside world, and officially marched into the Eastern Wu.

The Qin Navy had a total of ten fleets, and the main ships of each fleet were huge rushing ships or three-rail gunships. There were many different kinds of small boats around each main ship.

Dongwu is an easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack place. It has two major water systems, Yangtze River and Huai River, as natural barriers. In the past life, Wu had to last the longest time among Wei, Shu and Wu. After the Jin Dynasty won the world, it defeated Dongwu.

As the saying goes, if you want to defeat magic, you can only use magic. Similarly, if you want to defeat the navy, you can only use the navy. In order to defeat the Eastern Wu, Li Chen specially built a cross-age navy.

In this battle, Li Chen was sure to win. Compared with the naval army, how could the Eastern Wu compare with Li Chen's naval army? It can be said that Li Chen's naval army was ahead of the Eastern Wu naval army more than one era. Ships equipped with artillery could turn the Eastern Wu naval army into Erha who fell into the water.

Three days later, Fankou.

Under the command of Zheng Chenggong, the Qin Navy drove directly to the Fankou Waters. Thirty miles ahead were the nine water camps of Zhou Yu, the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu.

Li Chen joined forces with 300,000 waterways, and the navy was ahead. Now the army can only watch on the shore. After the navy defeated, the army could only go ashore to attack the city and capture the village.

After Zheng Chenggong drove the navy to Fankou, he did not directly attack Zhou Yu's water camp. Zheng Chenggong was waiting for the fight. What Zheng Chenggong wanted was when the Eastern Wu naval army gathered in Fankou, and then he would destroy the entire Eastern Wu naval army in one battle.

Fankou, Dongwu Daying.

"Grandmaster, the Qin army is too bullying, and it is actually parked less than thirty miles away from us. This is completely despising our Eastern Wu navy." Lu Xun said to Zhou Yu indignantly.

Seeing Lu Xun's anxious look, Zhou Yu was still as calm as he was. Zhou Yu asked Lu Xun: "Did you see the Qin army's ship?"

Lu Xun nodded and said, "I saw it."

"How about the Qin army's ships?" Zhou Yu continued to ask Lu Xun.

"Large, big. The ten main ships in front are several times larger than our largest building ship."

"However, they don't have many ships, only about 200. Our Eastern Wu has thousands of ships. In this battle, our army will win." Lu Xun said to Zhou Yu with full confidence.

There were no artillery during the Eastern Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms periods. Artillery was invented by the Song Dynasty and developed by the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Lu Xun did not know what artillery was, nor did he know that in front of giant ships equipped with artillery, the number was not an advantage at all.

"Support, keep holding on."

"As long as the Qin army does not take the initiative to attack, we will stick to the water camp and not leave. After a few days, there will be plenty of arrows in the camp, so it will not be too late for us to take the initiative to attack." Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun.

Since Zhuge Liang sent a serial crossbow last time, the Zhuge serial crossbow has been made well, but the Wu army's arrow reserves are insufficient. The military craftsmen in the camp have rushed forward these days and never dared to delay for a moment.

At this moment, soldiers came outside the tent to report: "Grandmaster, Mr. Zhuge is here."

"What, Mr. Zhuge is here. Bo Yan, please come with me quickly." Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun.

Since Zhuge Liang entered the Eastern Wu, he can be said to have managed the rear of the Eastern Wu in an orderly manner. Logically speaking, the rear should appear a little chaotic when fighting in front of him. However, since Zhuge Liang came, the rear has become more and more prosperous.

After Zhuge Liang came to Eastern Wu, King Sun Jian of Wu praised him repeatedly. He said that Zhuge Liang was the wool dragon, and they were the wool water in the East Wu, so this was the dragon entering the river. How could it not be prosperous?

Zhou Yu took Lu Xun to greet Zhuge Liang. When the two arrived on the shore, Zhuge Liang happened to get off the boat.

"Mr. Zhuge, the war is approaching now, why are you here?" Zhou Yu said to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang showed an unfathomable smile on his face, and he said to Zhou Yu: "I think the governor, and I have something to worry about."

Is Zhou Yu troubled? He really did. Now, Zhou Yu wants to fight the Qin army, but he is struggling to fight because of insufficient bows and arrows. How can this not make Zhou Yu worry?

Zhou Yu thought to himself, Mr. Zhuge can still read the mind skills? Why, he also knows what I think.

Zhuge Liang naturally did not know how to read the mind, but since Zhuge Liang gave Zhou Yu the crossbow, Zhuge Liang knew that Zhou Yu must have insufficient bows and arrows, so he wanted to help Zhou Yu get the arrows early on.

"Oh, it's not bad, I have something in my heart." Zhou Yu told Zhuge Liang frankly.

"Oh, why not let me guess what the governor is thinking?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Mr. Zhuge, then you guess?" Zhou Yu said.

Zhuge Liang smiled at Zhou Yu, shook the goose feather fan in his hand, and said to Zhou Yu: "The governor is worried about the lack of arrows."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was shocked and then happy. He immediately asked Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Zhuge is really a god. Could it be that you have a way?"

"In this way, how about preparing 100,000 arrows for the governor within three days?" Zhuge Liang said to Zhou Yu confidently.

"In three days, prepare 100,000 arrows. How can this be made?" Zhou Yu asked in surprise.

This is an arrow that requires creating arrows, making arrows, and feathers. If you have 100,000 arrows, according to the current production capacity of Dongwu, even if you keep sleeping day and night, it will take half a month.

One hundred thousand arrows were made within three days. Not to mention that the craftsmen couldn't stand it, even the materials for making arrows were not fully prepared.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Zhou Yu: "Hey, Governor, I am not trying to make arrows, I am trying to borrow arrows."

When Zhou Yu heard that Zhuge Liang wanted to borrow arrows, he became even more confused. If you borrow arrows, who should I borrow them? Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Bei. Now they are fighting, and this arrow is also a scarce item. Not to mention whether they are willing to borrow them or not, they are going to borrow them. This far water cannot quench the near thirst. When their arrows arrive, it will be no longer the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

"Who can I borrow arrows? I will not be able to transport them in these three days?" Lu Xun, who was beside him, couldn't help asking.

"If we don't borrow it from far away, we will borrow it from the Qin army opposite." Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan and said with a smile.

Lu Xun thought to himself, Mr. Zhuge was probably stupid. It was too early for the Qin army to borrow arrows. We are now opponents. Can they lend us arrows? Lend us arrows and then let us shoot them. The Qin army cannot be fools?
