Chapter 208: The sword is unsheathed
Wang Jian stood in the command room of the warship, directing the battle with various small flags.
The boulder slammed down on the sturdy walls with a dull loud thud.
The painful wails of the Chu soldiers, the hysterical shouts of the lords, the panicked running of the Chu people in the city, and the chanting of the sorcerers praying for the protection of the gods were mixed together and hit everyone's eardrums.
"General Wang, when will we go to the city gate?" The lieutenant is eager to try.
Wang Jian poured himself a cup of tea, the entrance was bitter, and after the bitterness, it was sweet. Since the news of the female monarch's love for tea has been spread, Niu Buregret also said that drinking tea is good for the body, and this way of drinking tea has swept Fucheng.
Wang Qian: "Wait." ”
What are you waiting for? Of course, it's waiting for the boatmaster in Hubei!
Nowadays, there are generally three ways of water warfare: one is to use archers to attack from a distance, the second is to meet ships and fight hand-to-hand, and the third is to finally break the cauldron and sink the boat.
When the boatmen of the Chu State wanted to get close to the Qin warship according to the custom, they were outside the range and were sunk by the Qin escort warship with crossbow arrows wrapped in fire oil.
A small number of small boats that were ordered to scuttle the ship finally escaped the catastrophe, but they were directly hit and sunk by the pointed head of the Qin warship.
The main commander of the boat division of the state of Chu originally divided his troops into two routes, and part of them surrounded the naval division of the Qin state from the downstream.
As a result, he didn't expect that Wang Jian had already ordered people to prepare fireboats, go straight downstream, and form a wall of fire to completely block the reinforcements of Chu.
When the upstream Chu Zhou Division wanted to imitate Wang Qian's tactics and set fire to the boat from further upstream, it was like Dong Shi's imitation, and the fire boat was sunk by the Qin State Boat Division with crossbow arrows and trebuchets from a distance.
The gap in weapons is not something that witchcraft can compensate.
Chu Guozhou's division against Qin's naval division is like stone tools against bronze, no matter in terms of weapons, tactical literacy, and strategic coordination, the level of the main general is not at the same level at all.
"Haha! The battleship is mighty! ”
"This is the sailor that the county captain has worked hard to build! Invincible! The adjutant general and the others burst into tears, obviously a seven-foot man, but at this time they wanted to hug their heads and cry.
This kind of crushing victory was brought about by the county captain! It is the hard work of the Mo family who buried himself in the workshop!
"It's that I can't understand the layout of the county captain! In the past, I used to value the county lieutenant and complained! ”
"Worthy of the county captain! The far-reaching scheming and the firmness of the mind are beyond our reach. ”
"The profits brought by hundreds of workers are enough to be an army!"
Wang Jian nodded in agreement in his heart, and what Qin Bing said was as he thought. Although Wang Jian knows the power of the Mo family, he has never had such a profound experience.
A point of advantage, you may not be able to perceive it. But ten, twenty, and 100 percent of the advantages are gathered together, and it forms such a one-sided situation today!
After neatly killing the Eyi Boat Division, Wang Jian commanded the warship to approach the city wall until he could clearly see the heads of people on the city wall.
"They're coming!"
"Witchcraft! It must be witchcraft! Fast! Rockets shoot down that flag! ”
"Forget the flag, shoot whoever you can!"
The generals defending the city moved all the defenders to the city walls and desperately shot the ships with rockets.
However, the warships of the Qin State with the red flag fluttering were like prehistoric monsters with a great sense of oppression, and a small rocket could not hurt them at all.
The repeater shot from the warship came in an instant, and a repeater pierced the chest of a Chu soldier like a string of sugar gourds, without reducing the momentum, and continued to wear the second and third backs......
The generals defending the city of Hubei were in a dilemma.
Do you continue to pile up on the walls with human lives to block the approach of warships? Or spread out and engage in street fighting?
The defender has no doubt that as long as he takes a step back, this towering warship will tear through the city wall like a Oriyi sailor!
Either hold on to the death, or move the battlefield back to land, where the ships can't reach.
"What the hell is going on with the Lieutenant of Bashu?! Where did she get so many ships? And generals, why are they so good at water warfare? The general defending the city said in despair.
At first, the guards who watched the excitement cowered and hid behind the city wall, and when they heard this, they whispered back: "General, have you forgotten? Someone has long been told that the lieutenant of Bashu County wants to make a boat. ”
The guard was stunned, yes, when the news came, everyone scoffed, thinking that she was bluffing.
"As for the leading generals...... The lieutenant of Bashu County is a disciple of Wu'an Hou Baiqi! The guards shuddered, leaving a deep shadow in the hearts of Chu people.
The Eyi guards opened their eyes wide in astonishment, only to see that the guards who were still talking to him just now were shot through the head by a crossbow arrow, and the splattered blood flowers were mixed with white brain flowers......
In a trance, he seemed to hear Qin Jun shouting: "Go to the city gate!" ”
The staircase stretched from the station boat to the city wall, and the black-clothed Qin army poured up the wall like a tide.
The Chu soldiers had long been frightened by this scene, and despite the hoarse shouts of the war supervisor, they turned around and fled!
The generals tried to reorganize the soldiers, but to no avail.
"General, let's run! There are few Qin soldiers and will not pursue us. The lieutenant who fled was about to run under the city wall with the general.
The defenders sighed, glanced at the fire-breathing warship from afar, and then clenched their swords and slashed towards the wide open gate.
Unlike the other six states, Chu was still divided into feuds for most of the region, and the feudal monarchs had all the rights of the fiefs, far more than the great princes of Qin.
The state of Chu now holds the power of the court with the three aristocratic families of Zhao, Qu and Jing. Under the aristocratic family, there are feudal lords who are attached to them. The Eyi garrison is one of them.
The defeat of Eyi is an obvious result, and now it is to see whether to engage in street fighting and hold out until the arrival of Chu reinforcements.
However, once street fighting began, the losses of his own soldiers were immeasurable.
If he fled directly and kept his own soldiers, then the family was very likely to keep him, and no matter how angry the King of Chu was, he would not be able to deal with him.
After weighing the pros and cons, the defender decided to retain his strength and ordered a retreat. His own soldiers followed suit and fled together.
"Retreat!"
"The guards have retreated!"
Not only the Chu army, but even the Qin army shouted at Wang Qian's signal.
The guards and Wang Jian seemed to have tacit understanding, and the Chu army did not make a fearless struggle, and rushed to flee in all directions.
The Qin army climbed to the top of the wall, and as long as the Chu army did not resist, they would not chase and kill.
If someone can look down on this battlefield from above, they may think that this is a tacit exercise.
"General Wang! We! The lieutenant general firmly grasped Wang Qian's arm and spoke incoherently.
Wang Jian sat down on the rattan chair and took the teacup handed over by the guard: "Order someone to pass on the battle situation to the county lieutenant." At the same time, repair in Hubei and prepare for defense. ”
"No!"
Wang Jian touched the smooth rattan weaving, and it was far more comfortable to sit on than a wooden bench. After filling the warehouse with rattan armor made by the Ba people, the female monarch proposed that the Ba people make rattan stools, chairs, tea tables, and so on.
In hot Bashu, rattan products are very popular.
