261 Benhou is here, and no boat is allowed to cross the river

The shore is near.

Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, looked over the building boat and soon saw that the leader of this army was Xiao Duhou, and the army was under the banner of "General Zuo, Xiao Duan, and Danyang Army".

He couldn't help but laugh.

It's really a narrow road.

The assassination of Jinling City failed to kill Xiao Duhou, but it was encountered by the river.

To be honest, he actually didn't want Xiao Duhou to die like this.

Xiao Duhou once defeated the Tai Lieutenant Li Rong on the military academy, and once wrote the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a strange book on the art of war, and was a rare military master of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Many people are rumored that Xiao Duhou's art of war has surpassed that of Tai Lieutenant Li Rong, and it is the crown of today's art of war.

Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, had a plan to try his edge.

After winning the battle against Xiao Duhou, he Chu King Xiang Wu is the first master of the art of war today.

"Little Dusk!"

Xiang Wu raised his voice and said: "This king's 100,000 army crosses to the south, and the whip can block the river, are you willing to surrender to this king?" This king is not as stingy as the emperor, as long as you are willing to surrender, you can immediately be named the third duke, a hereditary prince. How about you pick one of the titles of the king? ”

Chu Tianxiu was in the Danyang army on the shore and smiled, "King Chu, Benhou is here, and the boat is not allowed to dock." Please go back to the state of Chu, send a letter to the court, disperse the army, the emperor may not kill you, and spare your life! ”

Xiang Wu laughed, shook his head and sighed, "This king has been born and died on the battlefield since he was a child, and he is a famous general of Great Chu. The world thinks that I am a bully of the weak.

That's it, I won't kill you, the whole army will come to the shore! Capture the little dusk marquis alive! ”

Dozens of building boats slowly approached the bank of the river in the distance.

The shore of this place has a shallow draft, and the building boat cannot be completely on the side. The soldiers could only jump off the boat, use small sampans, and wade to the shore.

Thousands of passenger ships, cargo ships, and fishing boats followed the ship, and a huge army came to the bank of the river.

...

Shore.

The six thousand Danyang soldiers were divided into three columns, one column of two thousand people, and a long snake formation was formed a hundred steps from the shore.

In addition, a hundred small steel cannons have already been lined up.

The firing range of the small steel cannon is 100 zhang, about 300 meters, which can ensure a certain accuracy. Further afield, there is not much accuracy.

In front of them, a large number of horses and wires were placed. These horses can prevent the opposite side from charging and scattering their Danyang soldiers' camp.

Chu Tianxiu was in the Danyang army, looking at the Chu army, and slowly landed on the shore.

He didn't have many troops.

If he brought too many soldiers, the king of Chu would definitely not dare to land easily.

Perhaps, I will cross the river hundreds of miles away from other places upstream and downstream. Scare the enemy away, run away, chase trouble.

Danyang soldiers are elite soldiers with great potential, but elite soldiers are also trained and fought.

The more battles you fight, the better this soldier will become.

Take this opportunity to let the Danyang soldiers fight more battles and train a real elite soldier in a hundred battles.

In addition, Li Yu brought another 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 elite infantry, which were ambushed in the woods not far behind the river, ready to support at any time.

There is also enough security in terms of safety, so you don't have to worry about being directly dumplings by the superior strength of the 100,000 army of the Chu army.

Chu Tianxiu saw that many of the ships on the opposite side were already within the range of the small steel cannon, so he shouted: "Open the cannonβ€”β€”! ”

"Boom~!"

"Boom~!"

Hundreds of small steel cannons opened fire at the same time, and the projectiles in the sky flew towards the buildings and ships of all kinds on the banks of the river.

"Click!"

"Bang~!"

The ship was hit by a projectile, which blew a huge hole.

Sawdust flew everywhere, injuring the surrounding soldiers.

Some of the buildings and ships were even bombarded by four or five iron pellets at the same time, and the beating was unbearable.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of huge ships were all shot, and although they were not sunk, many soldiers were injured.

and those small passenger boats and fishing boats, after being hit by a cannonball, were directly hit through the deck at the bottom of the ship, and the river water rushed in frantically, and soon sank.

Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, was stunned for a while.

What are those loud noises on the shore?

Not a powder gun, it looks ... Much more powerful than a powder gun.

The range is as high as 100 zhang, which is much farther than a bow and arrow. The thousands or tens of thousands of archers on the ship could not attack the Danyang army on the shore at all.

The entire Chu army was stunned, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.

The king of Chu quickly reacted and shouted desperately: "Quick! Come on! Rush, kill! There were only a few thousand of them, and they rushed over in one go. ”

All the soldiers of the Chu army jumped off the boats and various boats one after another, brandishing knives and spears, and desperately rushed to the shore a hundred steps away, wanting to attack the Danyang army.

After all, they were an army of 100,000 people, and they didn't take the 6,000 Danyang soldiers in front of them in their eyes at all.

"Bang~Bang~!"

However, a dense gunpowder gun rang out on the shore, and two thousand small projectiles were shot at the Chu army charging towards the shore.

Nearly 1,000 Chu troops were shot one after another and fell on the bank of the river.

The Chu troops behind had no idea what was going on, and continued to rush towards the shore.

"Fire!"

Chu Tianxiu shouted again.

Immediately, there was another dense wave of gunpowder gunfire.

After the smoke passed, a piece of Chu army was still in the river, and before it could rush to the shore, it fell again.

After three rounds of continuous firing, the Chu army had already lost 3,000 people on the shore.

Three-wave shooting can defeat the opponent's morale to the greatest extent. And to their own troops, to buy time to reload ammunition.

The Chu army was completely blinded by this wave of oncoming fierce firepower.

Before they could rush ashore, and before they even had time to inflict any damage on the Danyang army on the opposite side, they had already lost three thousand people.

Although the Chu army had as many as 100,000 people, they didn't want to send them to death!

Those Chu troops who had not yet disembarked did not dare to disembark again. The soldiers who had already jumped off the boat turned around and fled back to the ship.

The red blood stained the entire riverbank.

Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, stood on the tall building boat, looking at the battle situation on the bank of the river, dumbfounded, and couldn't say a word.

Their warships were too far from the shore for their bows and arrows to reach the Danyang Army, but the small steel cannons of the Dangyang Army could reach their floors.

The soldiers went down the river to charge, but before they reached the shore, they were suppressed by the fierce fire of the Danyang army, and they fell down one by one, and those who rushed to the front couldn't even escape for their lives.

"This...!"

"This time, the Marquis of Xiao Dull defeated the gunpowder gun of Captain Li Rong on the field of the military colonel. The power of the powder gun, why is it so powerful?? ”

"And the one who breathed fire and shot a big iron ball... What's that? ”

The surrounding group of generals were all stunned and at a loss.

"Boom~!"

Hundreds of small steel cannons opened fire again.

飕~飕!

The dense projectiles directly hit dozens of ships, shattering them, cracking the deck and leaking the cabin, which was unbearable.

One of the boats entered the water, began to creak and tilt, and sank into the river.

The Chu soldiers on the boat jumped out of ship one after another to flee for their lives, swam to other ships, and escaped with their lives.

"King Chu, Benhou is here, and a boat is not allowed to cross the river. You better go back to Chu and think about how to write a decent book. ”

Chu Tianxiu said with a smile.

The king of Chu, Xiang Wuqi's seven orifices were smoking, and his army of 100,000 could not be stopped by Xiao Duhou with only 6,000 soldiers and horses.

Wouldn't the people of the world scold him for being a waste, and he has achieved the fame of Xiao Duhou I!

"This king will cross this river today!

Come, divide 50,000 troops, and cross the river from ten miles downstream.

After going ashore, he immediately attacked the Danyang army from the flank. This king wants to see, how can you stop my 100,000 army with a few thousand soldiers and horses?! ”
