The east is not yet bright, but on the wide Qijiang River, one east and one west are brightly lit.

The Qin navy tried to sneak attack the camp of the Great Xia navy on the east coast, but fortunately, Gan Ning had a little more mind and sent scouts to find out the clues, otherwise he might really be caught off guard. Moreover, attacking at this point in time, it can be seen that the Qin army has been planning for a long time.

And as the horn of the assembly sounded, the Great Xia army immediately set up its position and prepared to attack!

Gan Ning was confident that he would defeat Qin's naval army, relying on his carefully trained soldiers and improved warships!

The improved building boat is equipped with a firing pin in the bow, which is long, thick, and inclined downward, as long as it collides with the opponent's boat, it will directly pierce the opponent's ship wall and let the lake water pour into the cabin.

Secondly, a battering hammer is installed on the deck, using the principle of hinges and levers, when the opponent's ship approaches, the lever will throw out the large iron ball weighing hundreds of pounds and smash it on the opponent's ship.

In addition, there is also a large Zhuge repeater installed on the ship, which is absolutely amazing.

These are attacks, and for defense, leather is installed on the ship, fire-resistant, and the hull is iron-clad wood, which increases defense and impact. As for the inner bottom layer of the ship, the partition space is used, even if the hull breaks a big hole into the water, there is a partition barrier, the ship will not easily tilt.

Unless there are other improvements, Gan Ning personally participated in the entire improvement process, and he deeply understood the combat effectiveness and lethality of this improved building ship!

Gan Ning's side was also ready, and then the horn changed its rhythm, and the ships lit countless torches, illuminating a large area of the river, and the Great Xia side also began to attack!

As a naval army, the battlefield is naturally on the river.

Approaching the early hours of the morning, the fog gradually showed signs of dissipating, and the Great Xia and Qin State naval armies finally approached each other, and there were only five or six miles left between them!

On the wide river, the black pressure ships on both sides seemed to be very dense, and the generals on both sides held their breath because they were about to start fighting!

Just listen to that, the sound of war drums is as rapid as thunder, and the sound of trumpets is calm and murderous. The boats tore through the river, letting the waves roll over the calm river.

The Qijiang battalion of the Qin State attacked with an arrow cluster array, using one of the largest building ships as the arrow cluster, and the two wings extended backwards, piercing the Xia army.

Gan Ning arranged the troops with horns, but used a long snake formation, forty of the most advanced building ships lined up, and other small and medium-sized warships attached to both sides to fill the gap between the large ships, so a huge long snake with a length of three or four miles was formed.

If you have God's vision and look at it from above, you will find that the arrow cluster of the Qin State is shooting towards the body of a long snake.

The commander of Qin's naval army was named Bi Fang.

He stood on the front of the building ship, at the moment, this ship is the largest and most offensive building ship in the Qin State, he will use this ship tonight to smash the ships of the Xia Kingdom, and let the Xia Kingdom know who is the overlord on the Qi River!

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer and closer, and were about to reach the attack range of the bow and crossbow, just when Bi Fang informed the drummer to prepare to beat the drum as a horn and come to a long-range attack first, he was about to open his mouth, but suddenly heard the horn sounded by the Xia army on the opposite side!

Bi Fang immediately sneered, there were still three miles between the two sides, and the other party sounded the horn to prepare to shoot?

Daqin's best crossbow bed can shoot nearly two miles, and the farther away is the end of the strong crossbow, now that the two sides are so far away, Daxia is too many crossbow arrows, so do you want to waste a wave?

Just before Bi Fang sneered a few times, a ferocious spear-like arrow crossbow flew by, directly killing a soldier next to him and nailing it to the deck.

In an instant, there was a dead silence on board.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the whizzing wind came, and dozens of terrifying crossbow arrows flew down, so frightened that Bi Fang dodged in a hurry, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and his body was so frightened that he didn't notice it in a cold sweat.

How could Great Xia's crossbow arrows have such a long range?

Yes, it wasn't possible before, but when it comes to Xiao Ruijia's system, everything is possible.

In the Northern Song Dynasty in the previous life, the "three-bow bed crossbow" was equipped with three large bows on a special wooden shelf, and the combined power of the three strong bows was used to launch long arrows, and when the crossbow was produced, it took eight oxen to pull the bowstring, so it was also called the "eight-cow crossbow", and the range of the three-bow bed crossbow could be as far as 500 steps, which was about 500 meters now, and it was the farthest range of the bow and crossbow in ancient times.

How could Xiao Rui let go of this long-range attack artifact! It is not difficult to open the bow with a large amount of force, only need to use the principle of leverage, with a winch with a gear to pull it apart, only three or four people can operate.

Didn't the Qin State boast of being strong with a bow and a fast arrow? At this time, teach them to be good people!

The imposing Qin State Navy was the first to be frustrated, so angry that Bi Fang was afraid and angry, and then ordered the drum to inform the whole army to speed up the attack, only by closing the distance and reaching their offensive range, can they countersuppress the opponent's strong crossbow!

Gan Ning also sensed the other party's intentions, and he sneered.

The three-bow bed crossbow is a long-range attack, and when it comes to the medium range, how can Great Xia have no back-hand?

Now it's time for the Zhuge Repeater!

The range of the large Zhuge repeater is not as good as that of the three-bow bed crossbow, but it can fire ten arrows in a row, which has greater lethality and a wider attack range. You Qin Guo think that you can have an advantage by closing the distance?

Then you have to taste an even more terrifying blow.

So when the distance was shortened and the Qin State also began to fire their crossbow arrows, they were shocked to find that the other party's crossbow arrows had become more and denser!

The terrifying arrow feathers fell like heavy rain, and many Qin troops were shot before they had time to dodge. In this state now, whoever has more arrows and can cover it will be able to crush the other party.

Bi Fang, the commander of the Qin State, was angry again, he hid in the boat, listening to the sound of arrows shooting on the boat, da....

It was like a heavy rain beating on a house, making him thunderous.

"Keep beating the drums, keep picking up the speed, and hit General Ben hard!"

Bi Fang was furious, since the long and medium range were suppressed, he could only choose to attack! You can't still be crushed in melee combat.

It's just that he forgot that it was useless to have gunpowder in Great Xia.

Gunpowder is equipped with a trebuchet, like a widow with a widower, that is, it is too good. The stone thrower is suitable for near and medium-range attacks, and the stone balls flew up and smashed into the Qin warships, the big ships were better, and they would not be destroyed, but the small and medium-sized warships were not so lucky.

The balls were not carved out of stone, but were made of cement, modeled first, with a central hole for gunpowder, and gunpowder at its core. The middle layer is filler, the inside is tribulus terrestris, patches, and the outside is cement.

When thrown, ignite the fuse, and then throw, whether it hits a ship or explodes in the air, the power is very sour.

In this way, before the two sides began to collide together, Great Xia's long, medium and close attacks caused heavy casualties to the Qin naval army.

Compared with the casualties, what was even more stunned was the soldiers of the Qin State, they were all wondering, what opponent they had encountered, and how could the equipment be so strong! I have completely lost the courage to fight!

On the other hand, looking at the Great Xia Water Army, self-confidence went up instantly.

This is the reason why Xiao Rui mainly focuses on equipment to rejuvenate the army, and the previous Great Xia was also very strong, but if he really wants to fight with the Qin State, that is, he can only meet the opponent in chess, and he can only fight hard, at that time, he looked at the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the strategy of the commander.

But when the equipment crushes the opponent, the scales tilt.

Therefore, Xiao Rui always believes that the war should be fought with equipment.

When the warships of the two sides finally collided together, there were few casualties on the Great Xia side, but the Qin side had already lost its troops.

Then came the melee encounter.

At the same time, Gan Ning ordered the horn to blow, and the long snake formation began to connect end to end, and began to strangle the other party.

To deal with a long snake formation, it is not possible to hit the head and tail, and as for hitting the body, hum, it is even more a dead end. Wrap a circle from the beginning to the end, and then start strangling. What is the most offensive of snakes? Entanglement and strangulation!

Bi Fang had been blinded by a series of attacks, and he didn't even realize that he was surrounded, so he ordered his soldiers to counterattack, and the warships of the Qin State slammed into the ships of Great Xia.

The role of force is mutual, and it depends on who is hard.

What's more, there was a bell on the bow of the Great Xia warship, which directly stabbed the opponent's cabin, and the river began to pour back, and at the same time, the battering hammer on the ship was launched, and the iron chain pulled the iron ball and smashed it on the ship, and the wooden board was split in an instant, and some of the iron balls were smashed into the deck and into the building.

Subsequently, the Great Xia soldiers laid out the planks, raised their swords and killed the opponent's ship, and began a white-knuckle battle.

At the same time, the small ships of the Xia Kingdom also began to act, and the small boats could only carry three or four sailors, which seemed to have no effect, and they would overturn when they were hit by the enemy's big ships, and they could not attack the big ships, but the small boats were flexible and flexible! They can flexibly approach the big ship, load the gunpowder bag on the ship, and then use the small boat as a carrier to ram the big ship and detonate it.

The warships are all made of wood, and no matter how good the wood is, it can't stop the power of gunpowder, and this way of destroying a large ship with a small boat is very good, with less damage and the largest attack.

In order to win the water war, Great Xia studied countless offensive methods, long, medium, and short-range integration, and at this time, he was finally able to show his might and let the Qin State taste the price!

And the next result is obvious, the Qin army, which was surrounded by the soldiers and horses of Great Xia, suffered a devastating blow, if it weren't for the reinforcements added by the Qijiang battalion to tear open the Great Xia encirclement and save some ships and soldiers, the army of Qin State this attack would have been wiped out!

When the rising sun in the east tore through the darkness, the heavens and the earth suddenly brightened, and the white fog on the river completely dispersed.

At this time, there are floating planks, wrecked boats, and boats that have not yet been submerged.

The Qin navy fled, fled back to the base camp, and collected all the building ships into the water camp, not daring to leave the boats on the river.

They suffered a miserable defeat and heavy losses, and this battle caused the Qijiang battalion to be completely defeated, and the warships accumulated over the years were destroyed.

On the other hand, although there are also losses in Great Xia, compared with the Qijiang camp, it is simply not a loss!

Gan Ning raised his arms and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, Your Highness is a thousand years old!" ”

The soldiers were also infected, shouting loudly, and the sound shook the sky.

They proved themselves with victory, and at the same time sent the most suitable congratulatory gifts to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his enthronement!

There are still five days left until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne!

Therefore, the good news is in the form of an 800-mile express report, without rest, even if you die halfway, you have to send the good news back to Kyoto!
