I’m The King Chapter 1451: : Han flag world (141) water battle

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the entire beach was completely changed beyond recognition. There were sand pits about ten meters deep all over the beach. Under the impetus of the current, the incomplete corpse wriggled slowly. At this moment, even the quiet Yingshui River boiled. Near the shore, a huge eddy was forming, turning, and after a long while, there was a bang, and there was a huge wave Finally shot on the bank of the river.

A few survivors lost their souls and wandered on the beach unconsciously. The way they advanced was the Yingshui River. Regardless of the desperate screams of their companions behind them, they plunged into the icy river. In the process, he struggled a little, then disappeared from everyone's sight as the river sank and floated.

The river turned red.

The snow on the beach turned red.

The sand also turned red.

The first wave of attackers just disappeared on the river beach and on the embankment. The Chu army who were about to move forward all turned around at this moment, and disappeared behind the embankment in a blink of an eye. Countless rafts that had been painstakingly built were either shaken to pieces, or turned into pieces of wood that drifted down the river.

Bai Xizhong's first attack was over before it even started. From the night when he arrived in Yingchuan County to today, he has lost thousands of people before he saw a single living Han army. When he saw the corpses of the Chu army scattered all over the beach, Bai Xizhong gushed blood, his face paled. It also rose red.

The current war is very different from before, and there are too many things in it that he can't understand.

"Retreat and take a break." He gave the order with difficulty.

Jingzhou, Nanyang County, on the map in front of Gao Yuan, Ning Xin marked the positions of Qin State's several armies on the map. It is specially marked in black to show its degree of danger.

"The last battle!" Gao Yuan let out a sigh of relief, "It's time to send orders to the whole army, and the general offensive begins."

In order to lure the Qin army to send troops, Gao Yuan has never been in a hurry to attack Jingzhou of Chu State. In many cases, they even tried their best to create an illusion of difficulty, and each army took turns to attack. Even so, now the Han army has compressed the Chu army to a very small range, approaching Xinye all the way, Anyang all the way, and another All the way to Anzhong. The Chu army has dropped from the original 500,000 troops to less than 300,000. Lost 200,000 troops. Most of them were defeated by the Han army. These were not well-trained troops. After being defeated, they fled, took off their military uniforms, and ran all the way home. With a hoe, they became farmers again.

Now the Qin State has almost come out, and the lofty goal has been achieved. There is no need to work with Chu people anymore.

Li Quan clasped the railing of the ship with both hands, watching his fleet go upstream. The river water slammed against the side of the boat, causing the boat to shake slightly. This is a fleet of fifty three-story ships. Except for the ten ships in front, which are battleships, the rest are all from The Marine Corps transferred from the Navy. Li Quan is excited to be able to command this army that is conquering cities and territories overseas again.

A few days ago. Gao Yuan, King of the Han Dynasty, received the commander of the Inland River Navy. After comforting him with gentle words, he made it clear that after this battle, he would return to the navy and become Yang Qingyi's deputy. This made Li Quan very excited. Although it took a long detour, he finally returned to the navy that haunted him in his dreams.

The water army under his command has become the first force of the general attack. They will act as a sharp arrow, and they will directly insert themselves into the core of the opponent from the water. Since the start of the war, the navy of the Han army did not launch an attack on the last remaining navy of the Chu army, and the Chu army's navy also knew that it was invincible, so they have been shrinking in the water fortress, but now, they can no longer Hiding, he had to come out and fight the Han army to the death.

"Commander Li, there is a Chu army navy ahead." Above Diao Dou, the Bannerman lowered his head and roared loudly.

"The battleship is facing the enemy forward, notify the troop carrier behind, keep the distance between the battleship and the battleship, and put it on full alert." Li Quan ordered loudly.

The ten battleships in the front are all equipped with dozens of cannons and countless magic machine crossbows, but in order to reduce the weight, the troop carriers in the back are loaded with more marine soldiers, and only one is arranged at the bow and stern. Cannon.

Following the waving of the command flag in the hands of the semaphore soldiers, the ten warships in front broke out, accelerated forward, formed a herringbone shape, and drove forward.

Against the current, against the wind, from the perspective of water warfare, the Han army is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of form, but considering the huge gap in the long-range attack power of the two sides, these disadvantages can basically be ignored.

"Small boats, so many small boats." The soldier above Diao Dou shouted in surprise. In front of the huge warship of the Han army, the boat was almost no different from a small reptile. Why the Chu army would use such a small boat to attack, the soldiers were a little puzzled.

Li Quan is different. When he saw those small fishing boats for the first time, he understood what the Chu army wanted to do. Back then on the sea, the aborigines in the places they conquered, in order to attack them Such a big ship, I have never thought of any way.

"The enemy wanted to attack with fire, so all the warships turned around, faced the enemy broadside, fired with all their strength, and smashed all these fishing boats." Li Quan roared loudly.

The speed of the warships slowed down, turning slowly on the wide river surface one by one, aiming their most ferocious sides at the front. When they just set up their battles, countless small fishing boats had already clearly appeared in front of them. Li Quan was slightly surprised, because there were no fire igniters piled on top of these fishing boats, and nothing could be seen from the outside, only two soldiers on each boat were paddling desperately.

With a slight turn in his mind, Li Quan's face changed slightly, "Order the ships, these small boats are most likely loaded with explosives, don't let them approach, fire, and sink them."

If it is a ignited ship, Li Quan is not afraid. His battleships are all covered with iron armor, and the hull has also been specially treated for fire prevention. Even if it is ignited, the damage can be managed in a very short time , will not make the battleship lose combat effectiveness, but if it is explosives, it will be different. Any small fishing boat that comes close to detonate may immediately make one of his battleships lose combat effectiveness. If he sneaked over to the troop carrier behind, that would be troublesome. If one ship is sunk, thousands of lives will be lost.

The sound of the rumbling cannons sounded, and the cannonballs jumped out of the cannonballs one after another, flying towards the small fishing boats on the river with red flames. Li Quan stared intently at the front. When there was a loud noise and the whole boat was blown to pieces, his suspicion was confirmed, it was indeed a pure suicide attack with explosives.

"The artillery continued to fire, put down the accompanying boat, I need death squads to set up an interception line on the river." Li Quan took a deep breath.

Accompanied by the bang bang bang sound, the small boats carried by the ship were put into the water. Each boat was equipped with two soldiers. Fifty small boats were placed on top of the battleship, and these small boats set up an interception line at a distance in front of the battleship. If any suicidal attack boats of the Chu army rushed over from the interception of the artillery, they would form a second line. line of defense.

Li Quan stared at the river nervously. With the wind flowing, the opponent's suicide attack boats came extremely fast, so fast that his artillery could not adjust the shooting angle in time.

At least half of the fishing boats on the river have been destroyed by artillery, but dozens of them still broke through the firepower net and mixed with dozens of small boats that were intercepted. Han soldiers jumped up from the small boats and stood up. The knife directly pointed at the approaching Chu boat, and began to fight with the enemies on board.

At this time, behind these small boats, dozens of large warships of the Chu army also appeared, and the throwing arms of the trebuchets installed on them were clearly visible. It's not a stone bomb, but a dynamite pack that ignites the fuse. If they hit it, it's enough to drink a pot.

"Signal to the troop carrier behind, the rescue boats on all ships are launched to form a third line of defense ~IndoMTL.com~ to prevent these suicide boats from attacking the troop carrier."

"The battleship moves forward to meet the main fleet of the Chu army, fire, fire!" Li Quan drew his sword and shouted.

The sound of a loud explosion came faintly from a distance, and above Diao Dou, the semaphore soldiers shouted loudly: "Commander, the No. 8 battleship on the left wing was hit by the opponent's suicide attack. The port side was damaged, and the cabin was flooded. Leaning."

"Tell them, immediately carry out battle damage control, and the ship will continue to move forward. Unless it sinks, it is not allowed to retreat, and fire!" Li Quan roared angrily.

The artillery of the battleship sprayed shells at the Chu army's buildings farther away, and not far from them, countless small boats were still entangled together, and there were violent explosions from time to time.

Hundreds of small boats were lowered from the troop carrier. Once these small boats entered the water, they rowed desperately forward without hesitation. Each boat had two oarsmen and two marines. The addition of these small boats made the battle between the small boats fighting on the river quickly decided. From time to time, desperate Chu army sailors detonated explosives and died together with the Han army ships that attacked them. All lives disappeared on the surface of the river.

(Happy New Year, all the best.)(To be continued.)
