Chapter 128: The King of Chu Changes
Six frigates and ten gunboats, 44 of the 155 main guns, 88 100-caliber secondary guns, 88 rapid-fire small guns, and 200 other 20-caliber machine guns.
After all, steam cannons are inferior to real artillery, so hundreds of large and small cannons are almost all salvo fired at the same time, and there is no need to worry that the hull will not be able to withstand it.
Before the sound of artillery bombardment came, the sailors of the Chu army saw hundreds of streams of fire smashing over.
"How is that possible!" The eyes were full of barely visible shells, the last memory of the dragon's throat.
This~
Before many Chu soldiers could react, one fireball after another had already exploded.
Boom ~ Boom ~~
Hundreds of fireballs erupted in an instant, and dozens of ships were also enveloped in flames in an instant.
"No~"
Boom ~ Boom ~ Dense explosions came one after another, not only the ship was on fire, but even the water surface was covered in flames.
"This is the Northland Navy! No wonder King Qi would succumb! "Got it! Xiang Yan finally understood!
The flames were all in the sky, all the sails and planks were ignited, and all the Chu soldiers who did not die jumped ship and dived.
"Hey! Why bother! ”
Jing Ke on the shore shook his head and sighed!
The main gun also shelled three rounds, and the machine gun also spewed out 100,000 projectiles, and the consequence was that all the hundreds of large and small ships of the Chu army's naval division turned into fireballs, and the small half of them was split into two or three pieces.
The flames burned bigger and bigger, and the Chu soldiers in the water were also roasted to death one by one!
"Five miles back! No~ Ten miles back! After glancing at the floating corpses on the water, Xiang Yan also immediately turned around and left!
There was no need to be tempted, and Xiang Yan didn't dare to approach the riverbank again.
"Urgent report to the king! The army is powerless to stop the Northern Army! Let the sailors not engage in battle! After a while, Xiang Yan came back to his senses.
It was not until most of the fireship boards sank to the bottom that the navy began to land.
"General, they landed on the north shore." Zhu Ying looked forward to it, maybe the opportunity to take revenge was coming!
Thinking of the dense fireball, Xiang Yan also shook his head: "Don't get close to the river bank anymore!" I hope that the Northern Army will have the courage to come and fight. ”
"Maybe they won't dare to leave the riverbank easily!" Zhu Ying didn't think the Northern Army could be strong.
Along the way, in addition to the Marine Corps, the Liaodong Army also had to be repaired.
The northern army went ashore and stopped, and the Chu army did not attack or stay away.
The spies were also shocked, it was only a long time, and the water war was over!
The palace of the king of Chu.
At this time, the old King Chu couldn't laugh anymore.
Not long after Xiang Yan's message was delivered, the handwritten letter was also delivered.
Huang Xie now loves and hates this northern white paper!
"King, if the northern army goes up the river, the rest of the sailors can't stop it at all!"
Many big cities in the Chu State are close to the riverbank, and this time the king of Chu does not dare to despise it anymore. "Damn the Northland! Its sailor is so powerful! ”
"What should Chun Shenjun do in your opinion?" Fortunately, Changping Jun is not here, and the old King of Chu does not need to avoid it.
The king is old after all! Huang Xie sighed secretly!
"King, in fact, there is no need to fight anymore! Even if we win the Northern Army, our Chu State will suffer heavy losses! It's better to negotiate peace first! ”
King Chu frowned! "It seems that this is the only way! Let Ambassador Jing Ke come, and then listen to him talk about joining. ”
"My lord, although we want to negotiate peace, now is not the time! After all, he just formed an alliance with the Qin State! Huang Xie immediately retorted.
The king of Chu was also accustomed to the rebuttal of the prime minister, and also nodded and waited for an explanation.
Li Yuan lowered his head, he didn't know what to think, and he didn't mean to speak.
"King, if you sue for peace immediately, it will only make the northern army more arrogant, and you must stop its offensive first!"
King Chu frowned after nodding.
"It should be like this, but if you let the Northern Naval Division wander around, it will be difficult for the hundreds of thousands of troops of my Chu State to encircle and suppress!"
The northern army dominates the Huai River, and the Chu army can't do anything about them.
After pondering deeply, Huang Xie could only sigh.
"The king must sink the ship and drive wooden stakes to block the river, at least not let it enter the tributaries of the river, and not let the northern army approach Shouchun!"
If the northern army is allowed to besiege the city, no matter what the final result is, the state of Chu will lose face.
"That! All right! The Prime Minister immediately ordered the sailor to prepare! ”
Although Changping Jun entered Qin as a minister, his influence in Chu was not small.
"What! The 20,000 water divisions of the Chu army were annihilated! It is difficult for Xiang Yan to stop the Northern Army! ”
Are you kidding! Xiang Yan's army of nearly 200,000 people on land and water can't be stopped now!
Someone nodded their heads! "It's unbelievable! But it's true! The Prime Minister has ordered the Wangcheng Sailors to prepare to block the waterways. ”
Sigh! Changpingjun also had to believe the facts!
"Uncle Gong, what about blocking the waterway, the Northern Army can always get through! At that time, the northern army can avoid the real and attack the false, and it will be difficult for hundreds of thousands of Chu troops to win! ”
The old man also knew that the sailor was the top priority of the Chu State! As soon as the water division is defeated, the city of Chu will be difficult to defend!
"It seems that we can only negotiate peace!" The anxious Changpingjun even forgot his identity.
The old man smiled lightly and nodded: "Changpingjun really hasn't forgotten that he has the blood of the Chu people. ”
Changpingjun nodded with a wry smile! If he had a choice, he wouldn't have joined the Qin State!
……
After knowing the attitude of the King of Chu towards Minister Jing Ke, Qiu Jiwu Song couldn't help but let 10,000 marines go ashore to fight the Chu army.
However, Wu Yangjing also immediately persuaded him to stop, and the army also needed more military merits, and after this war, it is estimated that Chu can only join the alliance.
After a night's rest, the 80,000 Northern Army began to line up, and then took the initiative to walk towards the Chu army camp.
"Humph! Just in time! All out of the camp and lined up! Xiang Yan, who was excited, didn't dare to be careless, this time he wanted to use all 150,000 troops.
Zhu Ying couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, good! The Northern Army is really arrogant! After this battle, you can force them back! ”
If the Northern Army is destroyed, the Northern Navy Division will be like a toothless tiger, although it can still run rampant across the rivers, but it does not have the ability to land and attack the city.
Of the 80,000 Northern Army, 10,000 were marines, and even the sea spiders were all involved in the battle.
"Chief of Staff, the Liaodong Army Formation can be seen." Wu Yangjing smiled with satisfaction, this Liaodong Army was trained by him.
Although Jing Ke didn't understand the military formation, he had to admire.
"The army only rested for one night, but the morale was not low, and there was no chaos in the queue, which shows the ability of the general."
Even the Marines were dressed in iron armor, and if they were on board, they wore thick wooden armor.
Eighty thousand iron armor, including helmets, are made of wire. 30,000 Northland heavy armor soldiers are more like steel monsters.
The army is mighty and domineering, but Jing Ke's eyes are always on the giant mecha.
Boom ~ Boom ~ One step and one tremble.
Six giants took their shields and swords to open the way, and a tree as thick as a man was cut with a sword.
The sea spiders that followed also cut the trees into sections, and when dozens of steam chariots pressed over, all the wood was compacted into the earth.
"This is the Trap Beast of the Northland! How are there so many! After a small forest fell, Xiang Yan on the hillside also saw the advance of the Northern Army clearly.
Zhu Ying never smiled again! "The Mo family, which is famous for its organs, has only more than ten large trap beasts, and the organs of the Northern Army may also have a false appearance!"
Whether it is or not, Xiang Yan can't wait any longer! If the army were to face these behemoths and monsters, their morale would surely plummet!
"Command the five teams of chariots to storm and delay them! The crossbow trebuchet concentrated on the ambush, and all the rockets and fire oil bombs were used first. ”
can't care so much, Xiang Yan can only play all the trump cards in his hand.
