How to intercept the fleet of Yue? That's on the sea, and everyone is always a little afraid of the sea. Moreover, the warships of Yue are faster, so how to intercept them in this case
Wu Daqian was confident: "Your Majesty, there is still one day left. We still have enough time to block the route of the Yue Kingdom fleet. According to my understanding of the Shang Kingdom, they will not participate in the war. They will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and will trade arms and other supplies on the spot. We..."
"Wait, what does it mean to trade arms on the spot?" Emperor Wu interrupted Wu Daqian's speech.
Wu Daqian pondered for a moment and organized his words: "The situation is roughly like this. When we are at war with the Kingdom of Yue, the fleet and caravans of the Shang Kingdom will definitely be watching. At this time, if we are out of shells, we can use gold to buy shells and all the weapons from the Shang Kingdom fleet. And the Shang Kingdom generally will not refuse. In fact, the Shang Kingdom has always done business this way."
The Emperor of Wu was stunned. "How can you do business like this?"
Yes, is this the way to do business? Selling arms right next to a battlefield
"Yes, the Shang Kingdom has taken the shamelessness of merchants to the extreme!" Wu Daqian praised fiercely. "But the Shang Kingdom does things without a bottom line. For example, they will never interfere in wars casually. Therefore, during wars, we don't have to consider the possibility of Shang Kingdom intervening. We don't have many shells to use on warships now, but we can bring a lot of wealth to trade with the Shang Kingdom. And a lot of wealth can also be used to reward soldiers. In addition to warships, we also need to bring more experts; warships are powerful, but they also have a weakness, they can't withstand close-range attacks from experts."
"Well..." The Emperor of Wu hesitated, "We only have four warships here. What if...something unexpected happens?"
These four warships cost a huge price, and the Emperor of Wu was a little worried.
"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate!" Wu Daqian was anxious. "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Yue has just returned from the north. Although they have many warships, they only have more than 30 people. Therefore, this is the time when the Yue fleet is the weakest. At least we have a few days to add some manpower, and at least we can exert 60% to 70% of the combat capabilities of the warships."
The Emperor of Wu was finally convinced, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, Marshal. You can do whatever you want with the personnel, wealth, etc."
"Yes, I will ensure that all Yue's warships cannot return to Yue!"
At the command, the four warships of Wu and hundreds of Yuanying stage masters set off. These forces should be enough to bury the fleet of Yue.
"Perhaps, we can even capture some prisoners from the fleet of Yue Kingdom!" Wu Daqian was dreaming.
A naval battle, an unprecedented naval battle in Yingzhou, is about to begin!
…
When the Wu fleet set out, on the East China Sea, the huge fleet was advancing at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
This fleet, or flotilla, included warships purchased by the State of Yue, merchant ships from the Kingdom of Shang, and the fleet led by Fu Minghui.
In addition, there is the Pengcheng Wanli Group's ocean-going caravan and the fleet escorting this caravan.
After catching up with the Yue fleet from behind, all the fleets of the Shang Kingdom maintained a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, which was a small means of keeping the performance of the warships secret.
