I’m The King

Chapter 1451 ：Hanqi Tianxia (One Hundred Forty-one)

The smoke cleared, and the entire beach was completely unrecognizable. Sand pits about ten meters deep were all over the beach, and the cold river water was pouring into these pits. The corpse was slowly creeping under the push of the current. At this moment, even the quiet Yingshui River was boiling. Near the shore, a huge vortex was forming, turning, for a long while, with a bang, and the huge wave was finally shot. On the river bank.

A few survivors were desperate and wandered on the beach unconsciously. The place they were advancing turned out to be Yingshuihe. Despite the desperate screams of their companions behind them, they plunged into the icy river. After struggling a few times, he disappeared into everyone’s sight as the river sank and floated.

The river water turned red.

&nbsp Novel ww.zhu.; The snow on the beach has turned red.

The sand also turned red.

The first wave of attackers just disappeared on the river beach and on the embankment. The Chu army, who was about to move forward, turned around at this moment, and disappeared behind the embankment in a blink of an eye. Countless hard-worked rafts were either shaken to pieces, or turned into pieces of wood and floated down the river.

Bai Xizhong’s first attack was over before it even started. From the night when he arrived in Yingchuan County to today, he had lost thousands of people before he saw a living Han army. Seeing the bodies of Chu army all over the beach, Bai Xi’s blood came up with a **** expression on his face. It also rose red.

The current war is very different from before. There are too many things he can’t understand in it.

“Retreat, take a break for the time being.” He ordered with difficulty.

Jingzhou, Nanyang County, on the map in front of Gaoyuan, Ning Xin marked the position of the army of Qin Guoshu Road on the map, and the tens of thousands of troops attacked Yingshui Road. It is specially marked in black to show the degree of danger.

“The last battle!” Gao Yuan sighed. “It’s time to send orders to the whole army and the general offensive begins.”

In order to lure the Qin army into sending troops, Gao Yuan’s offensive against Jingzhou of Chu State has been unhurried. In many cases, they even tried their best to create the illusion that they were struggling, and the various armies took turns attacking. Even so, the Han army has now compressed the Chu army to a very small area, approaching Xinye all the way, all the way to Anyang, and another He hit Anzhong all the way. The Chu army has dropped from the initial army of 500,000 to less than 300,000. The 200,000 army lost. Most of them were defeated by the Han army. These were originally not well-trained troops. After being defeated, they fled, took off their uniforms, and ran all the way home. With a **** grip, they became farmers again.

Now the State of Qin has almost come out of the nest, and the lofty goal has been achieved. There is no need to work with Chu people anymore.

Li Quan clasped his hands on the railing of the ship and watched his fleet move up against the current. The river rushed against the ship gang, causing the ship to sway slightly. This is a fleet of fifty three-story ships. Except for the ten battleships in front, the rest are all from The Marine Corps transferred from the Navy. Li Quan was thrilled to be able to command this army that was siege of cities and land overseas once again.

some days ago. King Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty received the commander of the river navy division. After some comfort, he made it clear that after the battle, he would return to the navy and become Yang Qingyi’s deputy. This made Li Quan excited. Although he made a big detour, he finally returned to the navy that had haunted him.

The navy under his command became the first unit of the total offensive. They will be used as a sharp arrow to plunge into the opponent’s core position from the water. Since the start of the war, the Han navy has not launched an attack on the last remaining navy of the Chu army, and the Chu navy has also known that it is invincible and has been shrinking in the water village, but now they can no longer Hiding, had to come out and fight the Han army to the death.

“Commander Li, there is a navy of Chu Jun in front.” On Diao Dou, Qi Yubing bowed his head and roared loudly.

“The battleship meets the enemy forward, informs the troop carrier in the rear, widens the distance from the battleship, and fully guards.” Li Quan ordered loudly.

The ten warships in the front were equipped with dozens of artillery and countless magic crossbows, but in order to reduce the weight of the troop carriers in the back, more Marines were loaded, and only one artillery was arranged at the bow and stern.

As the flags in the hands of the semaphore soldiers waved, the ten warships in front of them left the group, accelerated forward, formed a single figure, and drove forward.

Against the current, against the wind, from the perspective of water warfare, the Han army is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of form, but considering the huge gap in long-range attack power between the two sides, these disadvantages are basically negligible.

“Small boats, many boats.” The soldier above Diao Dou shouted in surprise. In his vision, he saw hundreds of small fishing boats, which were rushing down the current. In front of the Han army battleship, there was almost no difference from a small reptile. Why did the Chu army use this kind of small stroke to attack? The soldiers were a little puzzled.

Li Quan is different. When he first saw the small rowing fishing boats, he understood what the Chu Army wanted to do. The aboriginal people who were on the sea back then, in the places they had conquered, in order to attack their big boats, I haven’t thought about any way.

“The enemy wanted to attack with fire. All the warships turned, the sides faced the enemy, and they fired with all their cannons to smash all these fishing boats.” Li Quan shouted loudly.

The speed of the warships slowed down, and they turned slowly over the wide river surface, aiming their most fierce sideboards forward. When they had just set up their positions, countless small fishing boats had clearly appeared. In front of them. Li Quan was slightly surprised, because there was nothing on the fishing boats to catch fire. From the outside, he could only see two soldiers on each boat, rowing desperately.

With a slight turn in his mind, Li Quan’s face was already slightly discolored, “Order the ships, these boats are most likely to be explosives, and you must not let them approach, shoot them, and sink them.”

If it is a fire-fighting ship, Li Quan is not afraid. His battleships are covered with iron armor, and the hull has been specially treated for fire prevention. Even if it is ignited, damage management can be carried out in a very short time. Let the battleship lose its combat effectiveness, but if it is explosives, it will be different. Any small fishing boat coming up to detonate may immediately make one of his battleships lose its combat effectiveness, and the most terrible thing is that these small fishing boats slip between them. In the past, I leaned on the troop carrier in the back, and that was troublesome. If one ship is sunk, there are thousands of lives.

There was a rumble of cannonballs, one after another leaped out of the cannonballs, and flew towards the small fishing boat on the river with red flames. Li Quan stared straight ahead. When he saw a small fishing boat hit by the artillery, it shook the sky. There was a loud noise, and when the whole boat was blown to pieces, his conjecture was confirmed, and it was indeed a pure suicide attack filled with explosives.

“The artillery continued to fire and put down the small ship. I need the death squad to arrange an interception line on the river.” Li Quan took a deep breath.

Accompanied by the sound of banging and banging, the boats that accompanied the ship were put into the water. Each boat was equipped with two soldiers. After they boarded the ship, they waved their paddles without hesitation and tried to slide forward. One of the ten battleships. Fifty small boats were put down. These small boats laid an interception line at some points in front of the battleship. If a suicide attack boat of the Chu army rushed over from the artillery interception, they would form a second line of defense.

Li Quan stared at the surface of the river nervously. The wind was strong on the river, and the gun smoke would be blown away by the river breeze as soon as the gun smoke took off. This allowed him to clearly see the battle on the surface of the river, because the flow was downwind. These suicide attack boats of the other party came extremely fast, so fast that his artillery could not adjust the shooting angle in time.

At least half of the fishing boats on the river surface have been destroyed by artillery, but dozens of them have broken through the firepower net and joined dozens of intercepted puppets. The Han soldiers jumped up from the boats and pierced them directly. The Chu ship approaching, fought with the enemy on the ship.

At this time, behind these small boats, dozens of large battleships of the Chu army also appeared. The throwing arms of the trebuchets installed on them were clearly visible, and Li Quan knew that the thing that was thrown by the thing now was definitely not a stone bullet. , But the explosive package that ignited the fuse, if they were hit, it would be enough to drink a pot.

“Send a signal to the troop carrier behind that the lifeboats on all ships are launched to form a third line of defense to prevent these suicide boats from attacking the troop carrier.”

“The battleship moves forward, meets the main fleet of the Chu army, fires, fires!” Li Quan drew his sword and shouted.

The sound of a loud explosion was faintly heard from a distance. Above Diao Dou, the flag-speaking soldiers shouted loudly: “Commander, the left-wing battleship No. 8 was hit by a suicide attack by the opponent. The port side was damaged, the cabin was flooded, and the hull tilted. ”

“Tell them to immediately carry out battle damage control, and the ship will continue to move forward. Unless it sinks, it is not allowed to retreat and open fire!” Li Quan roared.

The battleship’s artillery shot out shells at the Chu Junlou ship farther away, and not far from them, countless small boats were still entangled together, and there were violent explosions from time to time.

Hundreds of small boats were lowered from the troop carriers. As soon as these small boats entered the water, they rowed forward desperately without hesitation. Each boat had two oarsmen and two Marines. With the addition of these small boats, the battle between the small boats fighting on the river was quickly resolved. From time to time, desperate Chu sailors detonated explosives and died together with the Han ships that attacked them. Every explosion is counted. All lives disappeared on the surface of the river.

(Happy New Year, all the best.) (To be continued.)
