It was the first time in her thirty-eight-year-old life that she had such infinite joy, and she felt that this kind of occasion was too suitable for herself!

However, Shi Chaoli persuaded very, very uninterestingly: "The queen mother, the virgin mother, is about to start a war with the thieves, you better go to the back cabin to avoid it first!"

Tong Yili, who was also so nervous that he didn't know what to do, wanted to return to the cabin now, but Empress Zhang was still standing at the bow of the boat beating drums to supervise the battle, he had no way to return to the cabin to avoid the battle, so he could only persuade bitterly: "Queen Mother, the sword has no eyes, you better go to the back to avoid it!" Bar"

But Empress Zhang was completely intoxicated with the cheers of "Long live", and she had never heard of Shi Chaoli and Tong Yili's dissuasion, and she knew very well that as long as she stopped beating drums and supervising the war, then she would never be able to enjoy such supreme unanimous support.

At this moment, the warships of the two sides have been getting closer and closer, and the six warships of the Chengyi Bofu have even started the first round of test firing, and there is a smell of gunsmoke, roars and screams everywhere, and the rain of bullets and arrows flew towards the merchant ship that was hijacked by the thieves.

If Empress Zhang usually hears the smell of gunsmoke or hears the fierce roar and shouting of killing, even if she is not frightened and turns around and runs, she will lie on the ground with her head in her hands, but now Empress Zhang is extremely excited, she is beating the war drums hard, enjoying the supreme glory of this moment.

She's found the perfect rhythm for the drums.

And Fu Ding and Zhou Zhisheng saw that Empress Zhang was still beating the drums and cheering hard, and they didn't even take the dangers they might encounter as a thing, so they were naturally full of morale and launched an offensive with all their might.

The first round of test firing just now had a very poor effect, almost all of them started shooting out of range, and the captured merchant ship of the rogues was almost unscathed, but it was a devastating psychological blow to these riders on the merchant ship.

If it is on land, they are all veterans of a hundred battles who have experienced many big scenes, not to mention that in the event of a round of inaccurate test firing, even if there are several times more ambushes and guns, bows and arrows, they can still drive the war horse to reorganize the offensive.

But on top of these swaying waves, they were completely confused, and even many people found themselves seasick, and naturally they couldn't even organize any meaningful counterattack.

And Zhou Zhisheng and Fu Ding are both sailors who have followed Liu Kongzhao for many years, and the failure of the first round of test shooting was naturally unexpected by them, and they quickly organized a new round of salvos.

This time the two sides were officially within range, and the salvo of bullets and bows and arrows rained down on real significance, and the merchant ship was first screaming, and then someone saw that the situation was not good and jumped into the canal.

And Fu Ding and Zhou Zhisheng continued to use the battle flag to command the six warships to slowly advance and continuously launch a salvo, and after a few rounds of salvos, the thieves on the merchant ships finally reacted, and someone shot a cold arrow at Queen Zhang, who was beating the drum on the bow of the ship.

Although the accuracy of this arrow was too poor, it was five or six feet away from Empress Zhang, but it still triggered an extremely bloody revenge, and the two volleys from the side of the Sincerity Bofu were all fired at this warrior, which immediately knocked over the famous warrior among the thieves in a pool of blood, so that the thieves who stayed on the ship did not dare to show their heads, let alone launch a counterattack.

Fu Ding and Zhou Zhisheng fired two more volleys, and then ordered loudly: "Don't let any of them go, press up!"

The victory on the canal has been decided, but the battle is still fierce on the riverbank.

The horse team led by Liu Yongxi was in the central axis of the whole army, and the infantry phalanx on both wings guarded Liu Yongxi's team.

The first wave of clashes soon broke out between the two sides, and the thieves' horse teams roared towards Liu Yongxi's side, and the birds, bows and arrows on this side also began to salute in return, and then Liu Yongxi personally led the horse team to rush over, but the cavalry formations of the two sides did not collide head-on, but turned their horses' heads to each other and passed by.

Chang Yichen originally wanted to break through this somewhat immature looking officer and soldier horse team with a single charge, but he didn't expect that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were very experienced, and when the horse teams on both sides were staggered, the officers and soldiers on both wings found an opportunity to raise a spear and directly envelop it.

In order to avoid falling into the unfavorable situation of the official army's horse attack, Chang Yichen's horse team had to return to the starting point after a big maneuver.

The battle seemed to be back to square one, but Chang Yichen found himself in big trouble.

Although the side only injured one person and two horses, and Liu Yongxi's side lost one horse and two horses, the problem is that such an exchange ratio is very unfavorable for Chang Yichen, after all, Liu Yongxi has an absolute advantage in strength on the battlefield.

Chang Yichen soon found that although the young officer and army general opposite looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, he had an unexpected good ability, obviously this officer and army horse team had limited combat effectiveness, but this officer and army junior general had the ability to dominate the enemy, often his horse team had just started, and he had already judged his intentions, and even directly found the flaws that he had not noticed.

Where did this monster come out? How come the young officers and soldiers who have such means don't even have a name?

After a few rounds of fighting, Chang Yichen found that his horse team had been injured a lot, not only lost five or six horses, but also at least one dead and three wounded.

His feeling is that he is dealing with some powerful forces that have been entrenched in the local area for many years, and compared with the officers and soldiers who "are like combs and soldiers are like grates", although the strength of these powerful forces with many veterans is limited, the trouble they have created for Li Zicheng and other thieves is not inferior to or even better than that of the officers and soldiers.

The two sides could only continue to shoot at each other, and Chang Yichen soon found that this kind of shooting was even more unfavorable to him.

However, the problem is that as long as the horse team as the core of the official army is not broken, the left and right flank infantry will not collapse even if there are some casualties, but with the cover of the two wing infantry, it becomes a very difficult problem to attack the horse team head-on.

The battle on the canal was even more unfavorable, although the captured merchant ships were in a favorable situation downstream, but the problem was that the opponent was too strong, and when they came out of Zhangjiawan, these six large ships were specially modified and equipped with many firearms, and now one after another projectiles, firearms, and rockets are attacking this merchant ship.

Although Chang Yijing's subordinates are all elite horsemen who have experienced many battles, but when they encounter this kind of scene, the more they fight, the less confident they become, so they can only shout at Chang Yichen: "Chang Team, we can't fight like this anymore, we have to find a way!"

Chang Yichen heard them roaring angrily, and first hated the old Xiucai who suggested dividing the troops and the land and water troops: "It's all the idea that the sour Xiucai came up with, it's useless to be a scholar, I knew the current situation, I should have cut down these poor scholars!" ”
