Wow!
On the hull of the Jingzhou Navy's warship, the Qin Army's artillery shells directly blew the wooden walls of the ship into pieces.
"How could it be possible? Qin's artillery shells are so powerful." The warship, which had suffered huge damage, was like a broken building, but he hesitated to speak.
"Raise the side-sail...the side-sail! Turn the ship!"
"quick!"
Xu Qing's main ship was also attacked by two artillery shells. Two large black holes in the ship wall were clearly visible.
But fortunately, it is Jingzhou's main battleship after all, and its strength is still much stronger than ordinary battleships.
"Qin's warships are right ahead." Xu Qing thought.
However, several warships on the side were already sunk by the Qin warships under the fierce fire.
On the one hand, Yu Haoming has good command, and battles between battleships are his specialty.
"Yu Shuai, now is an excellent opportunity to penetrate into the Jingzhou Navy. It would be a pity if we let it pass!" Qi Lanyin said.
There are more than three hundred battleships! Only a few dozen cannons were fired from the front, and it was difficult to fully display the firepower for a short period of time.
"good!"
"Let the cruiser penetrate directly forward and harass several enemy main ships, General Qi! It would be a pity if you don't take command of such a water battle!"
"You can go directly to another battleship from the ladder," Yu Haoming said.
The entire navy warship can be said to be divided into six parts.
There is one giant battleship in every fifty fleets. The cannon endurance of giant battleships is much stronger than that of local battleships.
"good!"
The messenger waved a flag to the nearest sub-main ship, and when he got the sub-main ship there, he immediately came over. He directly set up the long ladder on the deck.
Although the boat was swaying in the water, Qi Lanyin was also the governor of the navy after all. After so many years of swaying on the warship, even the small waves and the swaying arc could not fall off.
certainly! Holding on to the sides of the ladder will naturally prevent you from falling.
After Qi Lanyin crawled over, Wu Liang immediately supported the latter and said, "Master Qi, you are finally here, what should we do next!"
Qi Lanyin glanced at the surrounding sea and said: "We command the two fleets on the left, and Yu Shuai commands the three fleets on the right."
"Now, the Jingzhou Navy's center fleet and rear fleet are far away from our army's artillery fire. Our army has to find a way to get in."
Immediately! Qi Lanyin thought for a while and felt something was wrong.
If we really fight with him in the Huaichuan Basin, we don't know how long the fight will last.
"Wu Liang, go and send an order to Yang Wen, asking them to get the 30,000 Qi Army troops docked on the back bank immediately. There must not be many naval troops guarding the Nanjing Water Village at this time. Let Yang Wen run for two hundred miles. I will hear that we must rush to Nanjing Water Village on the night of the third day."
"In one fell swoop, we captured the water stronghold and intercepted the supply depot of the Jingzhou navy."
"In addition! The 20,000-strong army led by Wang Rulong remained stationary and sent part of the army to dig pits and lay mines on the way back from Jingzhou's main force to prevent Jingzhou's main force from returning for reinforcements."
"The famous general takes orders!"
Wu Liang did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately asked the messenger to board the cruiser and return to the rear army.
"Cruiser, penetrate forward."
After Qi Lanyin issued the order, immediately! The main gun on the bow of the ship is also used as the firepower point of the charge. Only when the fleet is inserted into the enemy's formation can it better utilize the power of the battleship itself.
And in this way, after the Qin fleet moves, the Jingzhou Navy will face the next step of misjudgment. Because they are not familiar with the performance and speed of the Qin army's warships.
At this moment! Xu Qing thought that Qin just left Dingzhou a few days earlier than usual.
"Fill the cannon and fire!"
boom! boom! boom!
Finally, the main ship turned around and fired directly forward.
But after all, it can't compare with the Qin army's main ship. One layer of cannon can't match the shooting of two layers of cannon.
certainly! Without the Qin army's main ship, the speed would be a big disadvantage, but with the addition of oars, the speed is not only not slow, but also faster than that of the Jingzhou Navy.
boom! boom! boom!
On the Huaichuan River, the battle between the Qin Army and the Chen Army finally began.
This is the first time in recent decades that such a large-scale battle on the river has occurred. Even in the battle with Japanese pirates, there has never been such a fierce water artillery battle.
but! The bombardment Xu Qing's fleet received was actually several times that of them. The firepower was so fierce that Xu Qing was stunned.
He suspected that there were more than a dozen main ships on the opposite side.
As time went by, after more than ten minutes, the mist on the river almost dispersed.
The Qin State cruiser directly inserted into the Jingzhou Navy. Although the cruiser is much smaller than the Jingzhou main ship, it only has one deck of guns, and the number of cannons on the deck is not as many as that of the main ship.
But the cruiser directly surrounded a sub-main ship in Jingzhou and attacked.
After hammering more than twenty cannonballs, the main ship almost exploded to pieces.
Fortunately, the insertion of the Jingzhou warship on the side also directly killed a cruiser of the Qin army, but the losses of Jingzhou's own cruiser were still very heavy. It is almost possible to cripple or destroy a Qin cruiser only after losing three Jingzhou cruisers.
The main thing is that the inside of Qin Jun's ship plate was actually mixed with several thin steel plates.
To be honest, among so many countries, only Qin can make steel plates so thin.
"Damn it, Qin's warships are inlaid with iron."
Naturally, after Xu Qing and Luo Hao saw that Qin's main ship was much larger than theirs. The fear in my heart surged into my heart involuntarily.
The gap between these warships is so huge, what a crap.
In desperation, they could only let Jingzhou's cruiser beat Qin's main ship hard.
By now, Qin's fleet has almost spread out its formation.
As for the Jingzhou Navy, their entire strategic layout was disrupted because of the Qin cruiser's troubles.
Even their main ship and medium-sized battleships suffered heavy losses.
Compared with them, Qin's losses were almost insignificant.
On the other side, after receiving the order, Yang Wen immediately ordered the 30,000 soldiers on board to run down from the large transport ship.
Qi Jiguang gave them almost fatal orders.
Of course, they had to reach Jingnan Water Village on the night of the third day, which meant that they could still rest during the more than two hundred miles of attack.
in addition! Three hundred tiger squatting guns and kerosene were all equipped for Yang Wen.
The purpose is to blow up the Jingnan Water Village.
"Wait, General Yang Wen, I'll go with you." The person who came was Song Yi.
His 20,000-strong army had already gone out with Bai Qi and was officially reorganized into Qin's regular army.
And he, at the invitation of the King of Qin, was also incorporated into the navy.
