This is not a drill, but a real battle, a real battle with life, either you die or I die! Therefore, Xiao Yao did not skimp on gunpowder and mixed oil, and let Li Nong throw 5 rounds of incendiary bombs and explosives packages at the Qi army ship formation in a row!

More than 100 incendiary bombs exploded and caught fire over the ship formation, and the fire rain fell on the large and small warships in the ship formation, igniting a fire, and the soldiers fetched water to extinguish the fire, but found that water could not extinguish these fires, and even the water was on fire! Soldiers who had never seen this phenomenon were frightened and panicked!

More than 100 powerful explosive packets exploded violently in the ship formation of Qi State! Ships were constantly blown up, soldiers were blown away, and the loud noise and smoke completely broke the confidence of the soldiers of Qi State!

The attack of the projectile cannon only lasted less than 5 minutes, but in this short 5 minutes, the Qi army ship formation suffered a hellish attack! The fire that fell from the sky, the sudden loud noise and explosion, began to loosen the formation of hundreds of warships!

In order to avoid the explosion and the burning warships, all the large and small warships rowed apart, and the chaotic scene made it impossible for the commander of the ship formation to direct the movement of the warships in an orderly manner, and all kinds of warships scurried like headless flies, and many warships collided together, and the entire ship array was in chaos!

The Qi army's ship array was in chaos, but the gunboat led by Xiao Yao and the Chen army's warship behind him did not stop, taking advantage of the chaos of the Qi army's ship formation, it had already rushed to a place only 70 meters away from them, as the distance got closer and closer, the Qi army's catapult could no longer play a role, unless he wanted to smash his own warship together, and the soldiers on both sides of the warship had already begun to shoot arrows at each other!

The Qi army's ship formation has been broken up alive by Xiao Yao with a projectile cannon, and Chen's warships have also rushed into the attack range, the two sides have been fighting, and the Qi army can no longer form a ship formation to meet the enemy, and the 5 clapping warships can only carry their own small boats, and can only form several small fleets to fight separately.

When the distance between the two sides was only 50 meters, the other Chen army warships continued to rush towards the Qi army warship, but Xiao Yao's gunboat slowed down, the hull began to swing sideways, and the son and mother artillery began to go into battle!

The 10 sub-cannons that were concentrated on one side of the ship aimed at the main slapstick warship closest to Xiao Yao, and this warship was waiting for the Chen Jun warships that were getting closer and closer to him, ready to put down the slapstick and sink the opponent as soon as they entered the attack range, not realizing that their end was coming!

Bang bang bang! Xiao Yao decisively ordered a salvo of artillery, and the ten large iron pellets with a diameter of 10 centimeters instantly pierced the bottom of this slap warship, and the river water quickly poured into the cabin.

At this time, one of Chen Jun's clapping warships had also rushed in front of the Qi army's warship and entered its attack range! Because there was no opponent, Chen Jun's slapping pole warship was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, aiming at the nearest enemy ship to him, immediately loosening the cable, and the clapping rod tied to hundreds of catties of boulders quickly moved freely, boom! The Meng Chong of this Qi army was smashed by the waist, and the hull of the ship was directly thrown into the water, which was more powerful than the explosive pack!

Without the protection of the pole warship, the other warships of the Qi army could only fight with the Chen army's warship at close range, first shooting arrows at each other, and finally waiting for the warships of both sides to meet the side, they stabbed each other with spears to prevent the other party from boarding!

The soldiers of the Chen army wearing paper armor were light and nimble, facing the rain of arrows and spears of the Qi army, picked up the big knife, and under the leadership of the commander, pounced on each other with a roar, and the two sides launched a bloody and tragic white-knuckle battle!

The Qi army's ship array has all dispersed, and the fleet is fighting separately, Xiao Yao continued to look for the main force of the Qi army's clapping warship on the periphery, and the light and flexible gunboat quickly rowed to the vicinity of another fleet led by the clapping warship, and then the sub-mother cannon fired another salvo at the main warship, and it was easy to solve it! After sinking the opponent, the Chen army's slapping warship following behind him would rush up with his own fleet and launch a fierce attack on the Qi army.

Nearly an hour has passed since Wu Mingche ordered the attack, and the warships on both sides have begun to scuffle, but on the whole, the Chen army still has an absolute advantage, because the five main pole warships of the Qi army have all been sunk by Xiao Yao's gunboats, and the Chen army, which has no opponent, has bullied the small with the big, constantly putting down the batter, and destroying the small warships next to them! And the other warships are also led by the slap warship, surround the remaining warships of the Qi army and encircle and annihilate the enemy!

The entire Qi army ship array has been defeated by the Chen army, many warships have been sunk, captured ships, and the remaining warships have fled back to the water village, and at this time, the death squad led by Cheng Wenji himself also caught a gap, quickly rushed through the Qi army's defense line, and came to the front of the wooden barrier blocking the river.

"Good! That's great! I thought it would be a vicious battle! I didn't expect that the Qi army ship array, which had hundreds of warships, would be completely dispersed so easily! Now Cheng Wenji has also rushed over! Xiao Yao, this kid is really powerful! His firearms and bombs blew up these hundreds of warships in a few clicks! Wu Mingche stood on a warship parked in the middle of the river, and when he saw such a one-sided battle situation, he was so excited that he almost jumped up!

"Pass my order, all the warships rush across the river, capture the Qi army's water village in one fell swoop, take their catapult position, and then let our troop carriers cross the river safely!" Wu Mingche decisively ordered.

The Qi warships, which had been frightened by the momentum of the Chen army, turned around and fled one after another, retreating to the water village on the shore, and the Chen army's warships also quickly chased up, and even a warship had rushed to the water village, and a team of Chen soldiers also boarded the water village without their lives, and rushed up against the opponent's spears and arrows, after all, the first to board, heavy reward!

At this time, Cheng Wenji's death squad had also begun to jump into the water to clear the water barrier under the rain of arrows from the Qi army.

"Brothers, hurry up and tear down all these stakes for me! Archers, shoot back! Back! Cheng Wenji shouted.

Soldiers of death squads are constantly being shot dead in the water, and the river is dyed red, but there are fewer and fewer wooden stakes in the river! Suddenly, there was a bang, and the arrow towers on both sides of the river were pierced by a flash of fire, and the archers on it were knocked down.

Xiao Yao's gunboat is here! The main warships of the Qi army were sunk, and the other warships had their own warships of the Chen army to deal with, so the gunboats also rushed through the defense line of the Qi army fleet and came to the wooden barrier to support Cheng Wenji.

"General Cheng concentrates on cleaning the stakes, and I will deal with the archers on the shore!" Xiao Yao shouted loudly, and then ordered the artillery team to fire a salvo at the positions of the Qi troops on both sides!

"Good! Brothers, the brothers of the infantry battalion have also broken through the Qi army defense line to support us, let's move faster! Clear the river to Qin County for the army! After Cheng Wenji finished speaking, he also took off his clothes, plunged into the water, and swam towards a wooden stake!

Here, Wu Mingche also personally led the warships to join the battle, and the entire Chen State's naval army was dispatched, and hundreds of warships of all kinds crossed the river, and the shocking scene made the Qi army fleet that had already been defeated even more desperate! In less than two hours of melee, all the ships of the Qi army had been destroyed or captured, the water village had been captured, and the defenders on the catapult positions had surrendered.

A landing point has been captured on the north bank, a large number of troop carriers carrying tens of thousands of troops began to cross the river, and the remnants of the Qi army on the north bank have gathered in Qin County, ready to defend Qin County and wait for reinforcements!

And Cheng Wenji has also cleared all the wooden barriers in the river, and Chen Jun's warships can enter the river at any time and go straight to Qin County!

The battle to cross the river was won! Chen Jun's first battle of the Northern Expedition got off to a good start!

Wu Mingche boarded the water village, looked at the Qi soldiers kneeling below, and the hundreds of captured warships, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: I thought that this would be a vicious battle, but I didn't expect that it would be won so easily, it was a one-sided battle, and he only lost dozens of warships, and he crushed the ship formation of hundreds of warships owned by the Qi army! Conquer the water village in an hour!

At this time, Wu Mingche couldn't help but have Xiao Yao's cunning smile in his heart: The key to this battle being able to fight so easily is this resourceful Xiao Shilang! If it weren't for his powerful artillery, which would have scattered and disrupted the Qi army's ship formation in a few strokes, I'm afraid that he would not be able to stand on the land on the north bank of the Yangtze River now!

But Wu Mingche did not stop to celebrate, because taking the water village on the north bank was only the first step, and only by taking down Qin County and laying a foothold for the army could the first battle of the Northern Expedition be regarded as a real victory!

The soldiers are fast, and they are chasing after the victory! Therefore, as soon as Wu Mingche and the other troop carriers arrived, they immediately ordered their troops and horses, left a part to clean up the battlefield, increased the remaining tens of thousands of troops, and quickly marched to Qin County!
