TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 747: Chapter 328: The Siege and People’s Hearts_3

These days, we’ve always heard of naval forces commanding boats, driven over rivers and lakes – but never of naval forces conquering cities.

It’s not that they look down upon naval forces. The difference between fighting on sea or land – it’s like comparing chalk and cheese, they are not the same size at all.

A seaman might be valiant on the river, a crack soldier.

But on land, he is no better than a well-trained infantry soldier, skilled at fighting, definitely not superior to a soldier who has been trained for years.

Even though both are civilian soldiers, it’s more cost-effective to recruit directly from local people than to misuse hard-trained local sailors.

The Chu people would have to be foolish to let their naval soldiers fight on land.

If they do, the King of Chu should decapitate the commanding general of this time, and throw this prodigal son into the rubbish heap.

Of course, everyone knows that, with the large campaign of the Chu State this time – their troops must have come from more than just outside the city.

For example, in the last few days, rescue messages from Baishi, Nanjiang, and Taibai Prefecture have been received, stating that the Chu people had invaded and were attacking cities and looting territories everywhere, and the prefectures and counties could not defend them.

So, apart from Chu forces that traveled by waterway, there should also be quite a number of Chu soldiers coming by land from several other places.

But judging from the messages received by the city governments over the past few days, the number of Chu soldiers from other directions is not huge, mostly just ten or so thousand per route.

The various Chu forces also had to attack and conquer the prefectures and counties in Hanzhong, which would also cause some loss of troops. After taking those prefectures and counties, they would have to station troops there, reducing the number of soldiers again.

Through all these consecutive expenditures, the total number of Chu soldiers gathered under the city might not even exceed a hundred thousand, which raises some questions.
