"One shot of filling, ready!"
Before Commander Wangchuan could finish his words, Qi Lanyin stood up directly.
"Soldiers, follow my general and kill the enemy!" After Qi Lanyin finished speaking, he was the first to rush out with a spear in his hand.
Behind him, Wu Liang and Wang Rulong also raised their swords and rushed upward.
After lighting the gunpowder stick in his hand, he threw it towards the enemy's fort.
The Wangchuan Fort, which was almost only guarded by artillery, could block the Qi's army, which fought well. not to mention? The main force has all returned to the ship. How can they with a small number of people block the attack of 20,000 Qin troops?
boom!
The gunpowder rod exploded, instantly knocking over the soldiers in a fort.
Tear!
Qi Lanyin was in front, stabbing with spears. Jingzhou soldiers came out from the fort in twos and threes.
The Qi army was almost unstoppable, and in addition, the number of soldiers on the Wangchuan fort was sparse.
It was just a charge, directly to the fort.
Xu Qing, who originally wanted to rely on the fort to block Qin's navy, was now in vain.
He discovered that the entire Wangchuan Fort was actually surrounded by the Qin army's fleet.
In other words, their Jingzhou Navy will either win or lose! And based on the current situation, even if they are given 300 fleets, they still won’t be able to get out?
The entire Jingzhou Navy has almost become a living target for the Qin Navy fleet.
"Damn it! I can't get out." Xu Qing cursed secretly. Hearing the killing shouts coming from behind him, he knew that the situation was already very bad.
"Listen to me. Abandon half of the fleet, 20,000 troops, attack the fort directly, and capture the fort for me, otherwise! Our army has no chance of winning." Xu Qing said angrily.
but! A group of naval forces may not be the opponent of the Qin army in terms of frontal warfare.
Knowing what Jingzhou Army was thinking, how could Yu Haoming let the other party succeed.
Immediately, the two fleets on the left and right will be interspersed.
"The two main ships on the left and right will move forward immediately and cover them with firepower." Yu Haoming ordered.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of drums served as a signal to convey the order. Upon hearing the order, the fleets on both sides immediately executed the intermission.
Firepower covered the shore in all directions.
Qi Lanyin, who was on the fort at this time, wanted to occupy all the forts.
It is very exciting to think about using enemy cannons to bombard enemy warships.
"Wu Liang and Wang Rulong, immediately turn the target of the Shenwu Cannon to the Jingzhou Fleet and fire all the shells. Don't be reluctant." Qi Lanyin ordered.
"General, I understand!" The two of them immediately went down and went to the main fort.
As for the fort garrisoned by 20,000 Qin soldiers, it would be very difficult for the Jingzhou army to counterattack.
"Turn the cannon head and reload!"
"Tear!"
boom! boom! boom!
On the Wangchuan Fort, the Qin army, who had adjusted their gun positions, immediately fired. The Jingzhou Navy was bombarded, and while being attacked by artillery from both front and rear, the Jingzhou Navy suffered heavy losses.
Now, what they are facing is that they can't retreat, and they can't advance.
"The Qin army is too powerful!"
boom!
In an instant! Next to Xu Qing, a cannonball fell. The huge power blasted a big hole in the deck.
If this continues, the order they are waiting for will result in the complete annihilation of the entire army.
The fierce fire burned wantonly in this long dark night. The fire soared into the sky, illuminating the surrounding area extremely brightly.
The other fleets next to the Jingzhou warship's main ship had all been burned to the ground.
Feel the burning fire, burning on the skin, causing severe pain.
Xu Qing had completely lost hope of victory against the Jingzhou Navy.
King Chen gave him the entire Jingzhou fleet. But what a result! He was burned in one battle. He was a sinner. Even if he survived, how could he have the face to go see King Chen.
Self-blame and guilt are mixed in my heart.
"call out!"
Xu Qing naturally pulled out the sword from his waist. The bright cold light was extremely dazzling and the scabbard was extremely sharp.
"thump!"
In grief, Xu Qing made a plop, knelt on the ground without hesitation, and slowly raised the sword in his hand.
He could still feel the sharp edge of the sword.
"Prince Chen, I will never be ashamed of you!" Xu Qing shouted and committed suicide without hesitation.
Blood flowed from his throat and fell to the ground.
"No! General..."
Seeing their general commit suicide, the other soldiers also let out heart-rending roars.
Even the backbone is dead, and all the soldiers have no fighting spirit. Suddenly there was no desire to resist.
The entire Wangchuan waters were in chaos, with debris and sawdust floating in the river. The surviving Jingzhou troops also jumped into the water one by one before the warship sank.
He relied on his good water quality to escape.
Not only that! The river was originally green and clean, at this moment! It was also dyed extremely red.
The general was dead, and the Jingzhou Army, which was originally bombarded by artillery fire from both sides, was already having a very difficult time defending. Now, without their general, they no longer have the confidence to fight anymore.
They stopped attacking, hung up white flags, and surrendered to Qin.
The entire battle, from beginning to end, took only three hours to capture the entire Wangchuan and Jingzhou Navy.
Destroyed more than 170 enemy fleets and lost about 30 of our own.
Of the more than 45,000 Jingzhou navy, more than 10,000 were killed, and the rest of the soldiers surrendered.
The important strategic significance of capturing Wangchuan is that it can prevent King Chen from returning to the west and advance to the Jingnan Water Village in the east.
in addition! Li Jing's party also began to attack Nanxia County and was ready to begin. The 60,000-strong army tightly surrounded the 30,000-strong Nanxia County army.
Then! Nanxia County is not a large county like Jingnan.
Different from Qin's equipment, Li Jing's army had heavy artillery and could use the firepower to storm Nanxia County.
At the same time, Lantian's main stronghold in Guijun finally ushered in the Chu army.
Xiao Huangqi personally led an army of one hundred thousand to the Jingzhou area.
In two days, we can reach Dazhai, which is dozens of miles away from Gui County.
To capture Guijun, we must advance forward unless we capture the Lantian army.
In other words, from Jingnan City to the south of Huaichuan, the war will begin immediately.
And just in time.
The 200,000 Chen troops at the forefront are still on standby. What Chen Wang Dongfangjie didn't know was that he was still quiet on the front line and had no intention of attacking at all.
His backyard was already on fire.
After several days of stalemate, King Chen finally got tired of waiting.
Prepare to attack Bai Qi's 50,000-strong army.
King Chen’s big account!
"Prime Minister, attack! Take down Bai Qi in one fell swoop."
"I still don't believe that there are only 50,000 troops. I can't defeat Bai Qi!" As soon as Dongfang Jie got angry, he wanted to fight Bai Qi.
But at this time, Bing Zheng had a sad look on his face, "Your Majesty, I hope that your Majesty will allow me to send an army of fifty thousand troops back to Jingnan."
Because Bing Zheng discovered that after confronting Bai Qi for so many days, apart from Bai Qi's 50,000 troops, he had not discovered the 50,000 troops of Qi Lanyin, the naval governor.
