Chapter 071: Tricked
"Your Royal Highness, there are nearly 100 warships dispatched from the country, and they are already very close to us!"
Jiang Yao sat behind the bookcase a little tiredly, his brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, he thought that leaving the country was just a feint, but now he looked, leaving the country was really coming?
Jiang Yao stood up, "Someone, change clothes......"
The attendant entered, put on a set of silver military uniforms for Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao in military uniform was a little more imposing than usual, he walked out of the big tent, turned over on his horse, and went straight to the Qicang River.
The night is falling, and the Qicang River is full of flags.
Hundreds of search warships of the Qi State lined up on the bank of the river, and the lights on the warships were bright and the soldiers were lined up, because of the sudden attack on the opposite side of the country in the afternoon, the soldiers and horses of the Qi State on this side were also waiting for them.
"His Royal Highnessβ"
A general of the Qi Kingdom greeted him and pointed to the high platform in the distance, "Shizi go up and take a look!"
Jiang Yao dismounted and strode onto the command platform on the shore, which was shaped like a tower, and could look at the heart of the river over the warships of the Qi State.
"Did the warship that left the country really go out?"
The general next to him nodded, "Exactly, looking at this distance, I have already reached Jiangxin." β
Jiang Yao squinted his eyes and raised his hand to feel the direction of the wind, "This wind direction is blowing towards us, it is easy for them to come over, but it is difficult to go back, what do you think?
The general frowned slightly, "The gentleman who left the country has many tricks and has to be guarded against, but he has been winning a big victory since the war between the country and us, and it is not ruled out that he began to attack the enemy lightly, not to mention that it is now at night, they take advantage of the sky and wind direction to approach very quickly, and it is possible to catch us off guard." β
Jiang Yao narrowed his eyes, "How many new warships do we have?"
"There are eighty-nine, and we now have a total of two hundred and fourteen warships. β
Jiang Yao's eyes showed a glimmer of light, he was too aggrieved in this battle, he longed for a victory, a victory of revenge, would it be an opportunity tonight?
Jun Yan has not lost since the war, and an ambitious man like him must also want to take the fat of Qi State quickly, so it is possible for him to rush forward, and he must not know that they have just transferred a new warship.
"You pay attention, once the departing fleet crosses the center of the river, we will start fighting. β
The general also suffered defeat all the way, and at this moment he was also thinking of finding a chance to fight back, as soon as he heard Jiang Yao's words, he immediately nodded, beckoned the little soldier who called the order, and after a few words, he began to look in the direction of Jiang Xin.
The sky was splashed with ink, and the black Jiang Xin couldn't see anything except the row of firelight.
The Qi Cangjiang River is extremely wide, and the water flow is also very turbulent, if you want to cross the river at night, it is not possible to shine without torches, but in this way, it will expose your strength, even so, it is better to attack at night than during the day.
"Isn't it almost past the heart of the river?"
"Yes, Your Highness, are we all going to go or ......?"
Jiang Yao's eyes flashed fiercely, "Of course it's all." β
"But the new ships are smaller, and I'm afraid I can't hold back the waves. β
Jiang Yao's brows furrowed impatiently, "Didn't you say it the day before yesterday, the small boat is used for supplies and strung with the team in front." β
When the general heard this, he hurriedly bowed his head, "Yes, yes, this is to call people to string." β
The waves of the Qi Cangjiang River are not small, especially in the center of the river, even the largest warships will be carried downstream by the current, not to mention the small ones, therefore, the generals of the Qi State came up with a good idea, that is, according to the formation of the warships, all the big ships and small boats are connected in series, so as to ensure that the stability of the formation is not easy to be scattered.
Because I had been prepared, I soon had an attendant report that everything was ready.
At this moment, the general's eyes also lit up, "Your Royal Highness, their fleet has crossed the heart of the river......"
Jiang Yao pursed the corners of his lips and waved his big hand, "It's now, fight!"
Jiang Yao gave an order, the herald on the side took out the signal fireworks, and with a "boom", the Qi warships docked on the shore immediately moved forward, more than two hundred warships were mighty, with the momentum that could wipe everything out, in contrast, the team that left the country on the opposite side was extremely weak, Jiang Yao's chin was slightly raised, Jun Yan, it was time for you to taste the taste of failure!
"Your Royal Highness, the wind is too strong tonight, and our speed is a little slow, but you don't have to worry, the bows and crossbows on our ship are fully equipped, even if you release arrows, you can make it impossible to leave the country and walk around!"
Jiang Yao was even more confident when he heard this, and he had almost seen his victory.
The Qi warship went against the wind, although the speed was extremely slow, but it was still within the range quickly, and the battle suddenly began, the sound of drums on the standing boat of the Qi army, at the same time, the rain of arrows in the sky split the head and covered the face towards the opposite side of the warship leaving the country, Xu is the lethality of the Qi army was too strong, and soon, the warship of the country began to retreat.
Victory is about to come, not to mention that Jiang Yao will not give up, that is, the soldiers and generals of the Qi State must strike while the iron is hot, leave the country and retreat, and the Qi army will advance, both sides are also headwinds, and it is difficult to escape from the palm of the Qi army when leaving the country!
But suddenly, a glimmer of fire appeared in the heart of the river.
There were torches on the warships on both sides, and Jiang Xin was reflected red, but at this moment, Jiang Xin's fire was even worse, and even worse, there were sparks falling from the sky, Jiang Yao opened his eyes wide to see, those sparks all fell on the warships of Qi State, his brows frowned, Jiang Yao shouted, "It's a trick!"
