Chapter 246: Who Will Help the Rebels? It's hard to support Shouchun City alone!
Looking at the flames that were constantly burning in front of him, Xiong Zang's eyes widened in disbelief: "This is the black water of the Qin army?" ”
Xiong Zang had long heard the rumors of the Qin army's black water, and had even heard that the Qin army had called for Ying Chengcheng to be the reincarnation of Zhu Rong.
But the former Kumazo scoffed at this, and was even very angry.
In the records of the Chu State, the ancestor of the Chu State was Ji Lian, the sixth son of Lu Zhong.
And Lu Zhong's grandfather is Wu Hui, who was called Zhurong by Emperor Yu!
Qin Jun called Ying Chengcheng the reincarnation of Zhu Rong, what does this mean?
What qualifications does he have to be the ancestor of my Chu royal family!
So even though Xiong Zang had long heard of Ying Cheng's good fire attack, he only thought that this was the public opinion offensive of the Qin State, if it wasn't for Xiang Yan's strong order, Xiong Zang would even want to throw away the sandbox on the ship!
Go to the special Zhurong reincarnation!
Nai Weng is Zhu Rong's descendant!
How could Naionn be afraid of the fire attack of the descendants of the horses!
But today, Xiong Zang finally woke up to the fact that Qin Junkou called Ying Chengcheng the reincarnation of Zhu Rong was not a public opinion offensive at all.
Looking at the flames that kept burning and the line of fire that was heading towards the Chu army's boats, Xiong Zang couldn't help but be suspicious.
Is it because of Qin Chu's continuous intermarriage, which caused the ancestors to get lost and reincarnated in the descendants of the Qin State!
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
The sudden sound of cymbals interrupted Kumazo's thoughts.
Xiong Zang immediately shouted: "Withdraw the army!" ”
The Chu army has long wanted to withdraw its troops.
Hearing Xiongzang's order, he immediately picked up the oars and rowed back.
However, how could Cen Bian let go of this great opportunity?
Cen Bian immediately shouted: "The Chinese army's boat is locked on the river, and the rear army retreats to reserve for battle." ”
"The front army continues to rush forward and kill!"
It was also the first time that the Qin army's sailors had gained an advantage in a water war, so how could they be willing to let the Chu army leave?
"Kill!"
"Hurry up, oarsmen! Hasten! Hasten! ”
"Get close to the enemy ships!"
Under the temptation of military exploits, the Qin army oarsmen rowed their oars frantically, driving the Qin army's boats to catch up.
The Qin army's sailors kept poking into the altar to suck up the oil, and then sprayed it at the Chu army's boats!
Seeing that the front of the front army was in chaos, Xiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "The Qin army can actually pour out the fire?" ”
"It's a bit ingenious."
After a moment of silence, Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "Summoning the Xiong Ao Department, the bridge boat stepped forward and responded to the enemy on the side." ”
"Raise water with oars to resist!"
Under Xiang Yan's order, Xiong Ao commanded his sailors to step forward and lay across the river.
Xiong Zangjiao, who was retreating, shouted: "Brother Ao, be careful of the Qin army!" ”
Xiong Ao nodded with a calm face: "I know!" ”
Seeing that the central wing of the Qin army was getting closer and closer, Xiong Ao took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "All boats and oarsmen obey the order!" ”
"Dip the oar into the water and get ready to raise the oar!"
"The spearmen of each boat obey the order, hold water in the altar, and stand by!"
"The archers of each boat obey the order, target the middle wing of the Qin army, shoot!"
Seeing that the Chu army not only did not flee, but even put on an interception formation, three flames lit up on the shore.
Seeing this, Cen Bian immediately ordered: "The front army stops, send twenty middle wings forward!" ”
Most of the Qin army's former military boats and ships were stationed, and only twenty central wings were still heading up the river against the arrows of the Chu army, looking at the Chu army from afar.
"Sideboat!"
At the sound of an order, the Qin army oarsman paddled hard in the opposite direction, driving the middle wing to face the Chu army bridge on the side.
"Raise the fire!"
As soon as he entered the attack range, the Qin sergeant poked the torch out of the boat.
"Attack!"
With another order, the Qin soldiers did not hesitate to pick up the sword and spit out at the Chu army.
Xiong Ao shouted nervously: "Raise water!" Splash water! ”
At Xiong Ao's command, the oarsman immediately inserted the oar into the river and raised it vigorously.
The soldiers on the bridge also hurriedly splashed the water in the altar on the Qin army.
"Bang la la la~"
The water splashed in all directions, and the oil that was nourished by the water was not extinguished.
But the impact of the water flow slapped a lot of oil on the middle wing of the Qin army!
"Our army is on fire!"
"Take the sand and put out the fire!"
Many boats and boats of the Qin and Chu armies were set on fire by oil, and for a while, the sergeants and soldiers of the two armies were in chaos.
Looking at the flaming battlefield, Qu Huan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Shangzhu Country has ingenuity and resists fire with water." ”
"If we allow the ships of the Qin army to rush into our Great Chu Naval Army, our Great Chu Naval Army may be wiped out after this battle!"
Xiang Yan shook his head: "The general's strategy is only to block it slightly. ”
"Resisting fire with water is just an expedient measure to alleviate war damage, and the damage to our army is still very great."
"The Qin army uses this strategy to block our army, and it may be difficult for our army to move forward along the waterway again."
Xiang Yan knew very well that the Qin army's fire attack strategy was subject to the environment, and his own response strategy was also subject to the environment.
Xiang Yan's defensive strategy is not a panacea.
But Xiong Ao didn't realize it.
Seeing that the Qin army's boat was on fire, Xiong Ao laughed loudly: "The policy of the Shangzhu country is effective!" ”
"Soldiers, encircle and kill!"
The bridge immediately protruded from both sides of the military formation and surrounded the Qin army.
Seeing this, Cen Bian exclaimed: "Order! ”
"Stop extinguishing the fire in the front center and continue to attack the Chu army with a sword!"
"Fifty in the middle of the hair to the front!"
"Let the former army shout, only by killing the bloody road can you come back alive!"
The front army of the Qin army hurriedly shouted in unison, and the general order of Cen Bian was transmitted to the ears of the front.
"Captain Du is right, if we are besieged, we will definitely die, it is better to fight!"
"Yes, as long as we can rush out, even if the boat catches fire, we can jump into the water and climb onto other boats, but if we get caught in the Chu army's array, the Chu army will kill us!"
"His mother, fight!"
Ship fires are less of a problem than being killed.
The oarsman reversed the bow of the boat and rowed desperately to withdraw the oars.
The Qin army on the center flank also completely gave up on rescuing its own boats, and continued to launch a fire attack on the Chu army's boats.
The flames are still spreading!
Two quarters of an hour later, twenty flying boats of the Qin army were engulfed in flames and fell into the water.
The seventy bridges that the Chu army was responsible for intercepting were also wiped out!
As a result, the oil accumulated on both boats fell into the water and spread over the river, causing large swaths of the river to burn.
Looking at the fire in front of him, Cen Bian sighed regretfully: "It's a pity." ”
"Order the whole army to withdraw into Yingshui!"
The Qin army retreated, and Xiong Ao also led the remnants of the army back to the Chinese army.
Boarding the ship, Xiong Ao was ashamed to give his hand: "The last general has lived up to the expectations of the Shangzhu country." ”
"Please go to the pillar country to punish the crime!"
Xiang Yan shook his head: "The Qin army is attacking with such fire, even the generals can only resist it, but they have no ability to take the initiative to attack. ”
"Captain Xiong is not guilty."
Xiang Yan's words sounded like comfort.
But Xiong Ao sounded like Xiang Yan's mockery of him.
Why do you dare to do something that even the general would not dare to do!
Xiong Ao was reluctant to continue the topic, and instead asked: "The Qin army has withdrawn, and the flames on the river will flow downstream along the river, becoming a sharp weapon to assist our army in advancing. ”
"Dare to ask Shangzhu Country, does our army want to take advantage of the situation?"
Xiang Yan said solemnly: "Now our army is located upstream, and the fire on the river can open the way for our army." ”
"But after entering Yingshui, the Qin army can completely stay upstream, and drive our army into the encirclement with fire."
"Why did the Wei Navy die, and Captain Xiong forgot about it?"
"If we can't break the Qin army's attack technique, how many casualties does our army need to pay to reach Shouchun City!"
"If Captain Xiong can crack the Qin army's fire attack technique, he can go by water."
"If not, the waterway is no longer passable!"
Although Cen Bian only used the water war plan that Ying Chengcheng did casually and was shelved, it was not something that Xiong Ao could crack it.
Xiong Ao could only ask again: "Then our army is going to go ashore and march by land?" ”
Xiang Yan bowed his head and said: "This is the meaning of the general." ”
"Please go ashore immediately as the vanguard of our army, turn to the southwest and speed up the march!"
Xiong Ao pointed to himself and asked in disbelief: "The last general is the vanguard?" ”
"The last general's headquarters has suffered a lot of losses through the water war, and the army's heart is gone."
"How can the last general's department be a pioneer again!"
Xiang Yan said lightly: "This is a general order!" ”
"Please obey Captain Xiong!"
"If Captain Xiong doesn't obey, the army will not be able to march!"
If Xiong Ao didn't serve as a pioneer, Xiang Yan would not have sent troops south to rescue Shouchun City.
If the king of Chu asks for guilt in the future, Xiang Yan will say that it is because Xiong Ao did not listen to the general's orders, which caused the army to lag.
Can Xiong Ao afford this responsibility?
Xiong Ao was born in the royal family of Chu, and with the support of the king of Chu, he was able to serve as a lieutenant in the regular army.
Xiong Ao has no clan support behind him, and if the king of Chu wants him to die, he has only one way to die!
Gritting his teeth, Xiong Ao's indignant voice burst out from between his teeth: "Yui! ”
Seeing Xiong Ao's troops coming ashore, Qu Huan said softly: "Please be more careful in the future." ”
"Looking at the state of Captain Xiong Ao, it seems that there is a lot of resentment in his heart."
"After this battle, Du Wei Xiong Ao will inevitably attack Shangzhu Kingdom."
Xiang Yan said lightly: "I hope he can return to Shouchun City alive and have a chance to attack the general!" ”
Xiang Yan could have not sent his family to Shouchun City, but Xiang Yan still did so, in order to hope that the King of Chu would give him enough trust.
Xiang Yan thought that he had reached the limit of what a noble general could do.
But this doesn't mean that Chu Wang Han can threaten him with Xiang Yan's family!
Guo Cang's threat touched Xiang Yan's bottom line.
Xiang Yan had to start thinking about whether to change the king of Chu like other aristocratic leaders.
And before the replacement of the king of Chu, weakening the direct army of the king of Chu is the first move!
The king of Chu is borrowing the knife of Ying Cheng to eliminate dissidents.
Xiang Yan was borrowing Wang Ben's knife to weaken the king of Chu!
Qu Huan was slightly stunned, and then shook his head helplessly: "The king's move is indeed despicable. ”
"Forgive the official's bluntness, compared to the son's negative mind, the king is still a little worse after all."
Xiang Yan glanced at Qu Huan.
After pondering for a long time, Xiang Yan spoke: "Can you ask the son to protect my Xiang family's children?" ”
Qu Huan said with a smile: "The prince will definitely be willing to do his best to protect the family members of the Shangzhu Kingdom!" ”
Xiang Yan bowed slightly: "Dai Ben will bow to Gongzi Xie." ”
"Order!"
"Xiang Qian led my Xiang family's private soldiers to the northeast, and went south after circling the city father city."
"Once Shouchun City is broken, obey the order of the son, and be sure to rescue the children of the Xiang family in Shouchun City!"
……
Time passes slowly.
The reinforcements that Chu Wang Han and Li Yuan had been waiting for had not arrived for a long time.
Only one flying stone after another arrived in Shouchun City!
Looking at the east city of Shouchun City, where there had been many cracks and part of the upper half of the city wall had collapsed, Li Yuan's eyes were torn: "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet!" ”
"Xiang Yan intends to rebel!"
