On the sandbar by the riverside, Qin Lei felt cold all over, the initial joy was gone, and all that was left was a bone-chilling chill. Looking at the sea falcon warship on the river, he knew that he had been tricked.

I don't know what went wrong, and now is not the time to reflect. Hold on to a reed tightly and silently think about what to do. Shi Dang didn't care about anything else, he was only responsible for the safety of the prince, and couldn't help but say astringently: "Prince, let's retreat?" ”

Le Buyi had already looked at the tidal flat behind him, and when he heard Shi Dare say this, he shook his head slowly but firmly: "No, the defenders in the city have already come out, and if you go back at this time, you will be attacked by Bandu." ”

Qin Lei nodded, let go of the reed in his hand, and spit out two words: "Wait." "Think about the situation in your mind...... The Southern Chu Navy was in the south of the sandbank, the Zhennan Army was in the northwest of the sandbar, and behind the tidal flats were the defenders of Baling County. Of the four sides, the black-clad guards on the sandbar were the weakest, and any rash move could lead to annihilation. With the help of geographical advantages, local defense has become the safest method...... Although it is a helpless move.

"If you keep it, you can do it!" Qin Lei said firmly to his subordinates, but muttered in his heart: "If it's a big deal, jump into the river......"

The battle on the river began.

Relying on the eight floating planes on the left and right, the Sea Falcon battleship can not only sail smoothly in rough seas, but also use the displacement to greatly increase its speed, even the famous ship of the warlord cannot be compared.

Therefore, the Zhennan Navy simply stopped and waited for the other party's impact.

It's close! It's close again! The sailors were already able to see the faces of their enemies!

'Boom! With an earth-shattering bang, the sea falcon ship that rushed to the front collided head-on with a ship on the left side of the Qin army's flagship, stirring up a monstrous wave. The two warships shook violently, and every rivet groaned in pain! Although the soldiers on the ship had been prepared and grabbed the railing to death, they were still violently lifted into the air and fell heavily to the ground, in pain.

'Bang bang' loud bangs rose one after another, like a series ......of cannons, that is, dozens of warships collided one after another, and many warships were directly pushed through the walls, but the sea falcon ships were still the same.

With just one move, the wall of the warb, which the ship was proud of, was breached.

The icy water poured in through the holes in the walls of the ship, but the sailors did not have time to plug the leaks, they struggled to their feet, and rushed out of the cabin with their blades held high...... In the face of a faster, more defensive, and more powerful enemy ship, if you still throw shots from the shot hole, you will not hurt the opponent at all, but you will be sunk by the opponent through several hits.

It's the only option to engage in broadside combat!

Although the best thing a sea falcon is at is broadside warfare......

'Thankfully, my brother has helped me improve my broadside tactics!' Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Marshal Bo Xian, who had retreated to a safe place, said in a deep voice.

I saw spear hooks flying out from the ship, holding the opponent's battleship tightly and preventing it from escaping casually. Immediately after that, a series of wide pedals were erected between the two boats, connecting the two as one. The stubborn Great Qin warriors stepped on it as if they were walking on the ground, and rushed to the opponent's ship.

Moreover, the number of warships of the Zhennan army is twice that of the other side, so it is often formed that two or three warships besiege one.

But after the broadside battle began, it was the Chu army that had the upper hand.

Because the holds of the Sea Falcons were surrounded by raw cowhide on the left and right sides of the walls, which was more than one piece high. A half-height women's wall was added to the outer wall, with crossbow windows for firing. During broadside combat, the archers in the upper female walls threw javelins and crossbows at each other. The soldiers in the outer walls of the lower layer are clad in rattan armor and stab their enemies with spears, killing and injuring them while blocking their approach. It is a model of both offense and defense in this era.

And...... On board the Haigu ship was the Pingbo Army, the direct subordinate unit of Zhu Lie, the strongest army of the Chu State, and the first naval army in the world. How powerful is this army? There is a saying: the status of the Pingbo army on the water is even higher than that of the Baisheng army on land!

Everyone in this army is highly skilled in martial arts, proficient in water, walking on the ground on the ship, and has strict military discipline and tacit cooperation with each other, and is the best in the world from the perspective of individuals and groups. No matter how advanced the weapon is, it is the person who uses the weapon who determines the victory or defeat on the battlefield! These powerful warships can be exerted to the extreme in the hands of the more powerful Pingbo army!

I saw a group of brave Zhennan water troops rushing up, but before they could rush to the outer wall and start a white-knuckle battle with the spearmen, they had already been shot down by the archers on the inner wall.

The Qin army also had archers, but most of the arrows were blocked by two high walls. The Qin army used rockets again, but it was also blocked by the high wall covered with raw cowhide, and for a while, the Qin army's bows and arrows were ineffective, and they could only hope for the most brutal white-knuckle battle.

Countless Qin troops holding Pu Dao shields rushed over, but the Chu army could accurately hand out their spears, dodge the shields, and stab into the breastplates of the Qin soldiers. The skilled can even make the spear pierce the soft body of the opponent through the gap in the Qin army's armor to deliver a fatal blow.

One thing is recognized: the Chu army's personal skills are the first in the world, the Qi army's battle array is the first in the world, and the Qin army is the first in the world without fear of death. Even if it is at an absolute disadvantage, even if it is fought to the last person, the Qin army will fight to the end!

Seeing the spear enter the body, it aroused the wolf nature hidden in the chests of the Qin soldiers, and they threw away their blades one after another, grabbed each other's spears tightly, and jumped wildly into the water. Many Chu troops were caught off guard and were dragged out directly from behind the wall, and fell sideways into the water or in the Qin army's formation. Falling into the water is considered lucky, because they have rattan armor on their bodies, and it is difficult to drown.

And those who fell into the Qin army's array were all chopped into meat sauce without exception.

But the vacant position behind the high wall was immediately topped by new spearmen, and the Zhennan army was still attacking frantically.

People keep falling, people falling, and death is laughing...... Life is so fragile.

Such a scene is carried out at the same time in every part of the battlefield, one side relies on advanced weapons and sophisticated technology, and the other side relies on the strength of the crowd and is not afraid of death, and it is impossible to distinguish the winner from the loser for a while.

A little later on the battlefield, on the flagship of the Zhennan Army. Marshal Bo Xian looked at the deaths and injuries of his sons and daughters with a grim face, and grabbed the railing with his big hand with five clear traces. In this era, as long as there is a white-knuckle battle, the commander loses the ability to intervene, and can only compete with the training, equipment, and willpower of both sides.

This kind of suffering of being on the sidelines and being helpless is not something that anyone can bear.

"Dashuai, we have suffered too heavy losses, let's respond!" Chu Po was worried.

Bo Xian took a look at the mist in the south, shook his head firmly, and said, "No, it's not time yet!" "It's like playing cards, if you play the trump card first, how can you deal with someone else's trump card?

"When will that be?" Chu Po said anxiously, he was in charge of the drills in the army, and he had the deepest feelings for the soldiers, and he couldn't see them suffering heavy casualties.

"Wait for ......" looked at the quiet sandbar, and Marshal Bo Xiang said slowly: "Wait for Zhu Hongjun to lose his breath." ”

At the beginning of this battle, the Qin army lost the first hand, and if they wanted to turn the situation around, they had to pay greater sacrifices and endure more torture......

On the Chu Junlou boat four miles away, Zhu Lie also stared at the sandbar in the distance without saying a word, and at this time, the river fog gradually dissipated, and the spindle-shaped outline could already be roughly seen.

"Shangzhu Country, can the Xiangyang Lake Fleet still turn around?" His lieutenant asked.

"Don't count on it." Shaking his head firmly, Zhu Lie smiled bitterly and said: "This time, eighty percent is the leader of the team, this old fox, if he is not fully prepared, he will not easily get out of the hole." As he spoke, he lightly tapped the railing in front of him, and said very firmly: "He is by no means alone, there must be a fleet to protect him, maybe even a reserve." ”

"So we can't wipe them out completely?" The lieutenant regretted: "I finally seized the opportunity to come out of the turtle, and I don't know when I want to meet it next time." ”

Listening to the image of the lieutenant, Zhu Lie couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yes, it's hard to catch it, how can you do it without a hard knock?" ”

"How?" A group of subordinates suddenly came to their senses, and they rubbed their hands and said: "The last general, please Ying!" ”

Zhu Lie casually glanced at the eldest princess with a watery face, clicked at the sandbar in the distance, and said in a pretentious manner: "That is the weakness of the Qin army, I have ordered the garrison of Baling County to continue to put strong pressure on it." ”

The generals were overjoyed and said: "Baling County has 5,000 troops, and the most people in that projectile land are only 500 people, ten times that of the enemy, and this dynasty can be destroyed." ”

Zhu Lie said in his heart: 'It's time to pretend to be handsome. Then he shook his head lightly, twisted his beard and smiled: "This is wrong...... The general has strictly ordered Captain Baling not to capture, not to completely annihilate, and not to harm Qin Yutian. ”

"Why is that?" In fact, everyone understands people, who doesn't know why? But it is precisely because he understands that he unanimously asks this and that stupidly, and makes every effort to set off the wisdom and martial arts of the general of Shangzhu State.

He gave the crowd a: 'Good boy, have eyesight!' With his eyes, Shangzhuguo deliberately dragged out his voice and said, "This is called...... Attack... The enemy will be saved. As long as...... Give... With enough pressure, Bo Xiang will have to go all out to rescue him, and naturally he can't escape. If...... Attack... If you come down, the enemy will definitely flee if you can't save it. ”

Everyone hurriedly made a look of sudden realization, and for a while, the words were like a tide, and the sycophants shook the sky.

looked at the eldest princess again, but turned her head to the side without interest.

Yes, the only audience didn't buy it, and everyone lost the interest in continuing the performance, and secretly reviewed: 'It's too artificial, right?' ''Isn't it a bit too much?'' ’

There was a slaughter on the sandbar, in stark contrast to the ease and comfort on the flagship of the Chu army.

The black-pressed Chu army on the tidal flats was lining up to board the ship, and the destination was the east bank of the sandbank.

Looking at the enemy army dozens of times his size, Qin Lei felt that he needed to say something.

He came out of the reeds, walked slowly but firmly to the position where the black-clad guards were, stopped them from getting up and lined up, and laughed loudly, "Guys, you really have found the worst errand in the world. ”

The black-clothed guard looked at the prince in puzzlement, they have always been proud of their identity, and they don't know why the prince said this.

Qin Lei wiped off the water droplets on his arm armor and smiled pleasantly: "I have to face the test of life and death again, and it is always so dangerous to follow this madman." ”

The black-clothed guards laughed, they knew in their hearts that the prince was not saying this to himself. Because they are the black-clothed guards, the most loyal, the bravest, and the black-clothed guards who have been tested countless times, it is their vocation to follow the prince to the soup and fire, and it is also their most sacred glory.

It is true that the black-clothed guards do not need to be mobilized, they are always fighting and ready to sacrifice. Therefore, Qin Lei's words were for those fifty master guards.

These fifty people are divided into three groups, one group is the Guigu disciples led by Gongsun Jian; A group of Ziyunmen people who respect Xia Suiyang; There are also the martial arts people of the Qin State who defected from the Qin State one after another...... It is said that the Fifth Highness was ordered to go deep into the tiger's den and exchange himself for the righteous act of His Royal Highness the Prince, which caused a great sensation among the people of Qin, and people prayed day and night: praying for the Bodhisattva to bless the Five Highnesses to return safely. Many master swordsmen who could not be hidden also dispatched one after another, and went south to join the team of guarding the Five Highnesses.

Gongsun Jian and Xia Suiyang are fine, because they are already regular employees and are counting on making a name for themselves from the palace, so they are very obedient...... At least listen to Qin Lei's words. But the problem of the third group is big, these people are superb in martial arts, chivalrous and courageous, and their quality is even much higher than that of the first two groups. But people who have the ability are more scored, or prickly, and don't listen to greetings.

So the last time he exterminated the Qi State Mission, Qin Lei didn't let them go at all. But this time the situation is critical, and it is a person who has to do it. In case after the battle starts for a while, these masters will rise up and rush into the enemy formation, but if they break up their formation, it will be a disaster.

Therefore, Qin Lei must take a preventive shot in advance, but speaking to a group of unruly masters is a great test of the art of speech.

"I've faced countless dangers, but this time is different." Qin Lei smiled and said: "This time it is a battle against the water, and there is no reason to escape, what can I do now?" ”

"Fight to the end!" The black-clothed guards shouted in unison, and even Gongsun Jian and the others shouted along.

"Yes, fight to the end!" Qin Lei raised his eyebrows and said: "The lonely king will live and die with you, and will not be a person who steals life!" If you violate this oath, the sky will thunder! ”

"Swear to defend the prince to the death!" Then everyone shouted in unison.

This is the end of the scare, and it's time to lift up. Qin Lei nodded and said with a bright smile: "Do you remember last time?" Is that the time we exterminated the Qi State Mission? The opponent is on top of the powerful building ship, we are still attacking the side, and we will suffer a loss by nature, what is the result of the battle loss ratio? ”

"One thousand to one!" The black-clothed guard smiled proudly: "That one was still scratched by his own people's wolf." "This is really a battlefield miracle through the ages, and they can't help but be proud.

"This time will be no different!" Qin Lei smiled confidently: "As long as you order it, it is forbidden!" We will definitely hold on until the moment the warship of Zhennan comes close! ”

Even the latest master guards have seen the unpredictable use of troops by the prince, as well as two big victories in the absolute sense, so they have some blind trust in his words.

"This is the battlefield, any casual behavior will lead to the collapse of the battle array, and the moment the battle array collapses, it is the time when our entire army is annihilated," Qin Lei said with a solemn face: "What you have to do is very simple, that is, to defend the battle formation!" How to guard the battle formation? Absolute obedience to orders is required! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Five hundred people replied in unison.

Glancing at the enemy troops who were getting closer and closer, Qin Lei shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Le commands all the enshrined guards!" Get ready for battle! ”

"Violators will be killed! Daresper! Those who trespass are killed! Chaos Battle! Le Buyi flicked the sword at his waist and said lightly: "Don't expect Le to show mercy." ”
