Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ship Goes Ashore

Looking at the warships on the opposite shore that had entered a state of combat readiness, the deputy general of the Qin army asked puzzledly: "General, the warships of the Chu army seem to be going to fight?" But our Qin-Han coalition army does not have a water division above Danshui, who is the Chu army preparing to fight with? ”

Gongzihua said disapprerovantly: "Don't pay attention to it, although the Chu State Naval Division is powerful, can the warships of the Chu army still go ashore?" ”

The adjutant general couldn't figure out what Chu Jun was going to do, so he could only agree: "The general is wise." ”

Gongzihua then saw the raft prepared by the Chu army, and hesitated: "I have 30,000 troops to defend here, which can be described as impregnable, why is the king of Chu so unwise to plan to cross the river here, if the general is not bad, there must be fraud in this." Ordered the other departments to be vigilant against the sneak attack of the Chu army, and the Chu army's crossing place must be elsewhere. ”

"It's the general."

Chu army on the south bank.

"General, the sailor is ready to go to battle at any time." The commander of the sailor reports to Zhaoju.

Zhao Ju looked at the north shore and said, "Okay, if this battle is successful, the sailor can be the first to make the first contribution." ”

"General Xie." The commander of the sailor bowed and retired.

Soon, Zhao Ying came over and said, "General, the last general is ready to fight at any time." ”

Zhao Ju nodded and said, "Okay, you go back, the big battle is about to begin." ”

Zhao Ying saluted: "It's the general." ”

Zhao Ju then sent an order to the left and right: "Go, report to the king quickly, I have made preparations, just wait for the king's order." ”

Xiong Huai received a report from the messenger who delivered the news from Zhaoju, and said to the messenger: "You go back and tell Gong Yin: This battle is under his full command, and the widow will not interfere in any way, please Gong Yin just let go of the battle." ”

"Yui." The messenger bowed and quickly departed.

Soon, a deafening drum beat was heard on the south bank.

As the drums of war sounded, the sailors immediately went into action.

Under the rowing of the oarsmen, the warship was like an arrow from the string, and quickly killed the north shore.

After the warship was dispatched, tens of thousands of Chu troops, holding the raft prepared by Xiang Chengjun in the past few days, rushed to the north shore.

Gongzi Hua, the commander of the Qin army, saw the sailor warship rushing over, and his face changed color.

exclaimed: "Not good, could it be that the State of Chu plans to use warships as a tool to cross the river?" ”

Then he was heartbroken: "I actually used the warship as a disposable raft, and I ruined the heavens, and the Chu army deceived people too much." ”

Then he ordered with an ugly face: "Order, immediately press all the remaining troops, and be sure to block the Chu army under the shore." The herald ordered the main camp to transfer another 10,000 Qin troops to support, and asked the Korean army for help, asking the general Shen to send 20,000 Korean troops to support. ”

The adjutant general wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "General, now that the war has not started, asking for help from South Korea will make the South Korean army look down on our Qin State." ”

Gongzi Hua said angrily: "How can you take care of face at this moment, if you want to be embarrassed, you will be incompetent and embarrassed, what does it have to do with the Qin State, the general is not afraid of being embarrassed, what are you afraid of, why don't you go to the order?" ”

"It's the general, and the last general is the order."

Danshui is not as good as the Yangtze River, nor is it comparable to the Han River, but it is a tributary of the Han River, and even at the confluence of the two rivers, the width of the river is not outrageous.

The sailor quickly swept across the river and struck the other side.

The first wave of attacks on the Chu army's sailors was bows and arrows.

The arrows were either shot directly into the air, or landed on the hull of the ship, or were blocked by shields, and the lethality was very small.

After being attacked by the archers of the Qin army, the archers on the warships of the Chu army began to return fire, but because of the small number of people, the lethality was not obvious.

The soldiers who rowed in the ship were completely unaffected by the bow and arrow, and the ship always maintained its maximum speed, killing from the river to the north bank until it ran aground.

According to the offensive and defensive experience of Qin and other countries, beach landing battles were generally carried out with unprotected rafts or small boats as means of crossing the river.

In this case, with just a few waves of arrows, the opponent will suffer heavy casualties, and the rest of the people will be killed on the shore, and there will be no threat, and the army on the shore will be quickly cleared.

Now the Chu army used extremely defensive warships as landing tools, caught the Qin army by surprise, and directly crossed the most dangerous stage of crossing the river.

After the warship ran aground, the shield soldiers immediately abandoned their shields and took their long swords to kill the Qin army. Later, the soldiers in charge of rowing oars in the warship took up their weapons and left the cabin and killed the Qin army.

And the warship was directly abandoned by the Chu army, as Gongzihua said.

The five thousand Qin troops were already under the command of the Qin generals, divided into more than a hundred parts, intending to suppress the Chu army within the range of the warships.

And the Chu army has nearly 100 people in the big ship, 80 people in the small boat, and more than 100 ships together are nearly 10,000 people.

After all these armies left the ships, they quickly gained an advantage over the Qin army, and a few moments later, several ships broke through the Qin blockade and slaughtered the Qin archers.

Soon after the two sides fought, the reinforcements of the Qin army entered the battlefield, regained their numerical superiority, quickly stabilized the front, cleared the small number of Chu troops that broke through, and suppressed the offensive of the Chu army.

At this time, the army of the Chu army on a raft, the leader had reached the middle of the river, and soon entered the range of the archers to support the first batch of Chu troops crossing the river.

Gongzi Hua sneered, looked away from the remaining warships on the south bank, and said: "Order, the archers continue to shoot into the river, and I want to see how many warships in the Chu State can be used as rafts." ”

The defense of the raft was basically zero, and in the face of the Qin army's fire, it could only advance to the north bank with bows and arrows.

Fortunately, the Danshui was not very wide, and after the raft withstood several rounds of bows and arrows, the first wave of the Chu army on the raft successfully landed on the north bank at the cost of more than half of the casualties, and began to support the precarious Chu army vanguard.

With the continuous arrival of reinforcements from the Chu army, the Chu army consolidated the front, and the two sides fell into a stalemate again on the north bank of Danshui, and the advantage gradually tended to the Chu army.

After a stick of incense, 10,000 reinforcements from the main camp of the Qin army arrived.

Gongzihua gave an order with a dark face: "Order the reinforcements to be put into the battlefield immediately and drive the Chu army back to the river." ”

After Zhao Ju saw the arrival of reinforcements from the Qin army on the other side, he was immediately thrown into the battlefield and said with great joy: "The great thing has been done!" Now 40,000 of the 50,000 Qin troops have been thrown into the battlefield, and the Qin state is poor. The herald ordered the general Zhao Ying to step up the attack on the Qin army. ”

"No."

Then he said to the left and right: "Prepare to light the wolf smoke and notify Ejun to act." ”

"No."

Soon, a thick gray-black wolf smoke came out of the camp of the Chu army.

As soon as Gongzihua saw wolf smoke coming out of the camp of the Chu army, his face immediately turned pale, and he ordered to the left and right: "Order, ask the Han army for help, and ask the Han army to send 10,000 troops to the main camp of the Qin army." ”

There is only one role of wolf smoke, and that is to summon them.

Since it is a summons, then the state of Chu really intends to sneak attack other places.

If you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

Gongzihua looked at the warships parked on the shore, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, but unfortunately the anger in his heart could not turn into flames and burn those warships clean.

At this time, E Jun stood on the bow of a naval warship, motionless looking at the direction of the Chu army camp.
