Three hundred and twenty-five times, at least my heart is still towards Yan Guo! Yi Hou took a stand
Just as Yue Pingxiao was leading the ships to approach the Yan flagship, a medium-sized warship discovered and intercepted their way, and the two armies immediately launched a burst of fire.
The soldiers on both sides continued to be hit by arrows and fell into the water, but at this time, the Qi army was in the Yan army's ship formation, and from time to time they would face the risk of being surrounded, and this Qi army was too small to consume.
At this time, there were only two archers left on Yue Pingxiao's warship, and he personally waved his oars to drive the small boat towards this medium-sized warship.
The archers of the Yan Army on the warship saw them brush and release their arrows in unison, and the only two remaining archers beside Yue Pingxiao were also hit by arrows and fell into the water, but fortunately he turned the bow of the ship to meet the arrows, and he hid tightly behind the plank, so he was not injured.
Slowly driving to the side of the warship, Yue Pingxiao jumped up from the hull and inserted Changge in his hand into the hull, and quickly jumped onto the deck of the warship with the help of elastic force.
The main general on the transfer boat hurriedly ordered the soldiers to surround and kill, Yue Pingxiao smiled and pulled out the two halberds on his back, and after a fight, these Yan soldiers all fell to the ground.
At the time of the scuffle, the archers on the watchtower did not dare to release their arrows for fear of hurting their own people, and now the archer raised his Changge and aimed at Yue Pingxiao and continued to shoot.
Yue Pingxiao dodged a few arrows and dodged behind a ballista, and the next few feather arrows were all inserted into the ballista, and through the afterglow, Yue Pingxiao found the exact location of the watchtower, so he also adjusted the angle of the crossbow according to the position.
After everything was in order, Yue Pingxiao turned the roller and shot an arrow, shooting down the archer on the tower, and then walked into the cabin to find out if there were any heavy weapons.
Unfortunately, the main general of the ship just now was also hiding in the cabin, Yue Pingxiao found him and cut him down with a knife, and then pulled the two heavy crossbows he had found to the deck.
Then, Yue Pingxiao walked to the side of the boat, and wanted to call the soldiers below to help, but found that the river was already in chaos at this time, and he couldn't tell which were the Qi army and which were the Yan army.
There was no way, Yue Pingxiao opened the boxes containing crossbow arrows one by one, and took out a pole of crossbow arrows to load them on the ballista carts.
After everything was ready, Yue Pingxiao poured fire oil on the arrows of each crossbow arrow and lit it, and then all the ballistas were aimed at the flagship.
Zhu Mao on the flagship saw what Yue Pingxiao had done, and hurriedly ordered to concentrate fire to sink the warship, because all the catapults were fixed on the grinding plate turret, so they could only change the direction of the attack and could not change the angle and distance, and the two warships were relatively close, so the catapults could not accurately hit Yue Pingxiao's warship.
Seeing this, Zhu Mao hurriedly ordered all the archers and crossbow carts to aim at Yue Pingxiao to attack, Yue Pingxiao had already adjusted each heavy ballista cart, and sat behind the car and waited for the best time to launch.
A flurry of arrows from the Yan army flew along with several crossbow arrows, all of which were only inserted into the railing on the side of the ship and the wood at the front end of the ballista, Yue Pingxiao saw that the time was ripe, and pulled the launch control lever on each ballista in turn.
A pole of blazing crossbow arrows flew out, and most of the Yan soldiers who stood on the side of the flagship ship and released arrows fell into the water, and at this moment, due to the wind and waves, the two warships that were very close to the reinforcements collided together, and many soldiers on the flagship did not stand firm and fell.
Yue Pingxiao saw that the time had come, and immediately jumped onto the flagship, and after gaining a firm foothold, he waved the double halberd in his hand to kill the Yan soldiers beside him.
Zhu Mao was taken aback when he saw Yue Pingxiao so brave, and hurriedly ordered all the personnel on the ship to go to meet the battle, and then looked at the battle situation on the river on both sides, he knew that he could not call other warships to help at this time, so he asked a soldier to drive a lifeboat to ask for help elsewhere.
When the Yan army soldiers and Yue Pingxiao were in the middle of the battle, the soldier came back and ran to Zhu Mao's side and said: "The reinforcements from Acheng Water Village walked halfway and were intercepted by another Qi army, and the men and horses on both sides are fighting."
"What, then say ......".
Before Zhu Mao finished speaking, the soldier just now was stabbed to death by Yue Pingxiao, Yue Pingxiao shook the bloody halberd in his hand, and said, "Then you are going to die."
Then, Yue Pingxiao's halberd pierced Zhu Mao's chest and back, and immediately drew his sword and cut off his head and hung it on the mast.
Yue Pingxiao jumped from the flagship to a small boat, quickly left this place and entered his army, and after a fierce battle, he completely defeated this Yan army, so the army returned to the northeast.
The Qi army that came to aid Yue Pingxiao learned that they had won and returned, and they also quickly evacuated the battlefield and left.
Yicheng
The defeated army came back and reported the news of the defeat of the navy and the death of Zhu Mao to Yi Hou, who was furious and called Le Yuan to give him 30,000 elite cavalry, and ordered him to quickly march east along the south line of Yi Shui, and be sure to intercept and kill this Qi army.
Le Yuan received the order and immediately took the soldiers and horses, and Changshi Jiwen said to Yi Hou: "The Qin army attacked the Yan State on a large scale, and in just half a week, my eastern front city was lost, and the Qi State also took advantage of the situation to join forces with the Qin army to go north, and now it has conquered Fangcheng and defeated Mu Huan's defense line, what should be done outside now."
"You should also see that although the Qin army and the Qi army defeated the Yan army elsewhere, they did not take it lightly against me, which is enough to prove that they are worried about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses in my hands."
Before Yi Hou could finish speaking, a soldier ran over with a cloth silk and said, "This is just shot by a Qin soldier outside the city, it seems to be a letter to you."
Opening the cloth silk, Yi Hou immediately threw it into the furnace after reading it, waved his hand to signal the others to retreat, and said to Ji Wen alone: "Although I always think about the position of the king of Yan, but if the country of Yan dies, can I still become the king of the land of Yan, although the king of Qin is willing to let me rule the land of Yan forever, but this is just a dog between him and the state of Qin, so the leader will definitely not sit back and watch the destruction of the country of Yan."
"Now that you've decided, it's time to do something practical and prove your position."
Yi Hou issued a statement that it was to declare war on the Qin State, and sent the generals Qin Ming and Xiang Lang to each lead 10,000 troops to attack the nearby Qin army camp, and regrouped the naval army to unify the wartime reorganization, appointed Gou An as the governor of the naval army, and appointed Zhang Nan as the commander of the land infantry and cavalry of the naval army to assist the naval army.
After listening to the specific tasks of the water army, Gou An and Zhang Nan immediately led the water army to block all the rivers of the southern line of Yishui, which made the plan of the Qin army and Qi army to transport grain and grass by water fail.
Upon learning that Yi Hou had officially declared war on Qin, Wang Jian was furious and mobilized his army to march to Yicheng......
