Chapter 393: Battle for Hegemony: Jingzhou Water Master

Ten days later, it was half a month after the army of Qin left Beiliang.

At this time, Liu Wenqin led the 50,000 Qin troops in Zhengzhou to approach Nanyang County step by step, and within a few days, they could reach Nanyang County. Pan Zhang, the guard of Nanyang County, was so anxious that he almost had a heart attack.

Just came news from the imperial court that Wang Jian and Zhang Han's 80,000 horses almost broke through the 120,000-strong army.

Not only that, even Bing Zheng didn't expect that Qin Jun's courage would actually reach such a point. That's the imperial court, the emperor of the martial country, and now the emperor in the world, who can still speak. actually said that you will fight, do you want to think about your worries at all?

Second, what surprised Bing Zheng the most was that the Qin State now has more troops than the entire Jingzhou, that is, the Qin State has at least 400,000 troops.

Chen Wang Dongfangjie, but after recruiting 200,000 Jingzhou sailors, he recruited a lot of them back and forth, and after nearly ten years, there were only 350,000 troops.

But he, the king of Qin, was only five years in Beiliang, and he was able to feed an army of 400,000, and his territory was rich and vast, covering three states. It's like a new king who just went to Beiliang!

He didn't know how Dongfang Yu was able to do this, but there was one thing to prove. King Qin's talent, even Gao Taizu, is not as good as it.

Of course! Now the biggest problem is coming, the lack of soldiers and horses of the imperial court to block Liu Wenqin's army, then they Chen State will have to fight against Qin State head-on.

Although it is said that one country fights one country, the difference in strength is not very large. But the courage of the Qin army made Bing Zheng here, and he was a little uncertain in his heart.

"Great King, the leader of the front of our army is an army of 50,000 in vain. Bai Qi is a world-famous general, not to be underestimated. Bing Zheng reminded Dongfang Jie's side.

At this time, Dongfang Jie seemed to have become numb, looking at the white barracks in the distance, I don't know what to think?

"Don't be reckless, the army will be the first to settle down and probe the reality of the enemy." I don't know when! Dongfang Jie finally began to face up to the Qin army.

In the past, when the Qin army was only in Beiliang and did not conquer Dingzhou, Zhengzhou and Nanzhou, he always felt that he was very far away from Qin. And he guards his own one-third of an acre of land, and there are some powerful sailors on his side, even if Qin Jun has some courage, he will not dare to offend Jingzhou within ten years!

Now that I think about it, it's a bit stupid.

"No!"

"Order the three armies to set up camp!"

"The army is divided into three battalions to occupy a favorable terrain and avoid a sneak attack by the Qin army." Bing Zheng ordered.

"No!"

The Qin army brought deterrence to people, and they had to let everyone act cautiously.

And at this time! Yu Haoming and Qi Lanyin, 100,000 sailors, drove mightily on the Huaichuan River, and the warships of the Qin State, like behemoths, seemed to swallow the entire river.

Qin Zhi's largest warship was much larger than the Jingzhou warship.

There are two major advantages of the Qin warship, the first! The largest warship of the Qin State, it is divided into three layers, the deck level, the lower level and the middle layer.

The role of the lower level is to use artificial force to row over the oars, and when the wind direction changes, the warship can rely on manpower and still swim upstream. And the driving speed is several times that of the Jingzhou Sailor.

The middle layer can be used as a cannon layer, according to the chiseled hole, behind the hole, cannons are placed, and on the left and right sides, dozens of cannons are set up respectively.

As for the deck, in addition to controlling the sails, the functions of other warships are generally the same.

Whoa!

The river slapped against the boat's blockade, splashing several waves.

"Yu Shuai, our sailor, just entered the waters of Jingzhou so easily."

"In less than three days, I will be able to reach Jingnan City." Qi Lanyin said.

"This thing is very strange, it stands to reason that Chen Guo's army has gone to the front line and is stationed at the border. Jingzhou's sailors should also be dispatched. But our army has already arrived in the Jingzhou River Valley, and there is still no Jingzhou Navy Division. ”

"It's inexplicable, isn't it! Jingzhou Sailor has not yet left the port. Yu Haoming was puzzled, but trying the direction of the wind blowing in the sky, they were the Great Qin Water Master, and they were almost swimming against the current.

Could it be because of this, the Jingzhou Navy Division, thought that the warships of the Qin State would not be able to come for a while and a half.

"General Qi, it's better to be like this, you and I are divided into two teams, the left and right, and we can take care of each other." Yu Haoming thought about it, and guessed in his heart that there might be a possibility for the Jingzhou Water Division.

"Yu Shuai is afraid that the Jingzhou Naval Division will take advantage of tonight or morning to launch an attack on my Great Qin Naval Division." Qi Lanyin asked.

Speaking of which, such weather, as well as the direction of the wind, is indeed not conducive to the Qin army.

"Hmmm! This possibility cannot be ruled out! Ben Shuai looks at the celestial phenomenon, tomorrow morning, there will be fog, this is a perfect opportunity to attack? Yu Haoming nodded, "After separating the ships, you and I should not be too far away from each other, and send cruisers to reconnoiter back and forth around our naval division." ”

"Try not to give it to the enemy, and the sneak attack will succeed." Yu Haoming said.

"Command the three armies, replace patrols back and forth at night, and always be vigilant about the situation on the river."

As a general of the navy, observing the sky and understanding the weather is a necessary condition.

"Understood!" Qi Lanyin and Yu Haoming reached a unanimous decision.

Half an hour later, Qi Lanyin led four hundred warships and transport ships, mainly three large main warships, to the left bank.

At the same time, on the Jingzhou side, as Yu Haoming and Qi Lanyin thought, they would take advantage of the time to launch an attack on the Qin State Naval Division.

The generals of Jingzhou's chief sailors are Xu Qing and Luo Hao, therefore! Although the two do not have the reputation of Qi Lanyin and Yu Haoming who fought against the Japanese in Shandong, they can make the Jingzhou Naval Division on a par with the Jinling Naval Division, which shows the strong ability of water warfare.

"General Xu Qing, in a battle tonight, if you can annihilate the main force of the Qin State Naval Division, you will definitely inflict a heavy blow on the Qin army, then! The other two Qin armies will inevitably stop attacking our Jingzhou. At that time! You and I are the great heroes of Chen Guo. Luo Hao said, there is such a favorable time and place, even if they are not in agreement, they have already occupied two places, and it is not easy to destroy the Qin army.

"General Luo Hao, the prestige of the Qin army, we have not heard of it, its combat power is strong, and the elite is incomparable. Moreover! There are also naval generals Qi Lanyin and Yu Haoming in charge, and their strength cannot be underestimated? Xu Qing always remained vigilant.

Even if it is beneficial to oneself, one should not lower one's vigilance against the enemy army, especially the army of the Qin State.

"Herald! The army first docked on the shore, and when it was well rested, it was not too late to set out. It is expected that tomorrow, he will be able to meet with the Qin army. Xu Qing said.

Of course! Xu Qing's vigilance is not unreasonable.

The Jingzhou Sailor has already docked on the shore, and at this time, the Jingzhou Sailor and the Qin State Sailor are only forty nautical miles! That's more than seventy kilometers
