Taking advantage of the gap that had not been sealed, the Qin army's boat troops had to stop the Chu army from building a bridge at all costs. This time, when the floating bridge was about to be completed, Tian Pu, the general of the boat troops, wanted to take the lead. Not only did he crash the sixteen newly built floating bridges, but he also wanted to kill the Chu army soldiers who were building bridges on the south bank. Unfortunately, this proposal was not approved by Wang Ben.

After the dawn, the sun was about to rise, and the morning glow dyed the sky red, and the fish-scale clouds emitted golden light. The golden light shone on the Daliang City on the east side of the battlefield, shining on the battlefield, shining on the military flags and soldiers of the Chu and Qin army roaming in the wind, and gave everyone a holy light robe. After the shogunate discussion, Xiong Jing, who had just arrived at the water bank, was also shining with the golden light. He looked around the entire battlefield, and his attention was mostly on the water surface of the Great Valley.

The floating bridge has not yet reached the center of the gulf. In order to prevent the Qin army warships on the west side from rushing to death, large floating ships, similar to those on the previous building ship, are being built. After the floating ship is built, rows of huge armor will be installed around them to prevent the warship from colliding. Sixty-eight-pound short-barrel cannons are also towed onto the floating ship. This is a sharp weapon to break the boat. As long as it hits, a big hole will be a hit, and there is no way to remedy it.

On the west side of the Ganggu, Wuzhu flagship Uetian Pu was inexplicably anxious to see this scene. The most helpless thing about the boat master was the Chu army tower ship equipped with short-barrel cannons and equipped with giant iron ship armor. Based on Mu Ze's experience at the beginning, once this tower ship crossed the Ganggu, no matter how many warships there were, it would not be able to rush.

"Send the order! Beat the drum." Chaoyang rose, Tian Pu on the deck couldn't help but order.

"General, the Jingren floating bridge has not been completed, and attack it at this time... General Wang said that he wanted to wait for the Jingren Bridge to be completed..." The commander beside him had just received the military order of Wang Ben's 'Bridge General' and quickly spoke out to dissuade him.

"General Wang knows water war or is he the original general knows water war?" Tian Pu suppressed his dissatisfaction and sneered. He was a Qi native, and although he was more proficient in water war than the Qin people, he had no way in the court and his position was always under Qin general. In his opinion, Wang Ben, a young general, did not understand water war at all, but only knew land war.

"The general has his own order, beat the drum!" Tian Pu insisted on beating the drum, but the commander dared not stop it. After the flag order was issued, the drums behind the flagship deck were beaten quickly. The drums were beaten forward. The wooden oars of warships that had been waiting for a long time quickly fell off the oars. The rows of wooden oars began to rise and fall in the ditch water, and the boat arrays slowly accelerated and went straight forward.

"Qin people!" Before the Qin army's boat officials had beaten the drums, the Chu army artillery guards on the artillery tower on the south bank had already noticed the abnormal movements of the Qin people. As soon as the drum sounded, the cannons immediately beat the drums. The cannon soldiers rushed to the cannon position quickly, and the workmen on the water landed on the commander. Only the driver on the floating boat still beat the pulling horses of the dragging cannons and pulled the two 68-pound broken boat cannons that had been put on the shore on the floating boat.

Xiong Jing and others on the south bank watched the Qin army's boat troops rushing towards him. Wang Ben, who was standing behind the wall on the north bank, also saw this scene. A little angry face appeared on his face. At this time, the floating bridge was less than two miles away, and before the middle line of the water surface of the Great Valley, the warship attack was obviously inappropriate to him. However, the drum was already ringing, and he could not stop him and could only sit and watch.

It was frozen overnight, and some ditches that had been broken in the middle of the night before yesterday were frozen again in the middle of the night. Fortunately, this did not hinder the attack of the boat troops. The Qin army's boat formation was a line of forty warships, and a total of three rows rushed towards the Chu army's pontoon bridge that had not been completed. About four or five miles away from the pontoon bridge, the boat speed reached the fastest, and one hundred and twenty three-oared warships were like cavalry running on the water, and they were about to make the final sprint.

The sound of artillery sounded at this time, and the Chu army artillery on the south bank of the Honggou fired one by one. In the flames, the shells shot towards the warships getting closer and closer, and the smoke was blown by the fierce north wind to the Chu army array on the south bank.

The warship with dragon ribs is not an old single-pad warship, ten kilograms of field guns, and thirty-two kilograms of siege cannons are not sharp weapons to break the boats. After the shells were fired, the array of warships flying on the water was completely uneven, and no warships had overturned and sunk. The generals of the workers who had known this had been rushing to the sound of gold in the sound of artillery. He heard the sound of gold on the shore retreated further away before the warships rushed to the distance. The floating boats that were launched early had not been arranged properly, and were also urgently pulled to the shore by the workers on the shore.

The sound of cannons, drums, and gold were intertwined, and the warship rushed like arrows, crashing into the sixteen floating bridges that were unresisting. With the sound of water, these floating bridges were all broken by the warships, and some rafts were twisted and turned up in pain. The sheep fur under the frame was also squeezed, and a stream of water vapor was sprayed out from the water. Until then, some warships slowed down and tilted.

Although Tian Pu violated the army's orders, Wang Ben would not miss any opportunity to boost the morale of the Qin army and attack the morale of the Chu army. The 200,000 Qin soldiers behind the earthen wall shouted under the order of the hundred generals in the garrison. Some Qin soldiers rushed to the earthen wall and cheered at the impact of the warship.

"This is the improper arrangement of the workers!" Zhuang Wudi accused angrily, "Under the order of the shogunate army, we should build the building ship first and then build the floating bridge!"

"There are mistakes in each division that are urgently traversing the waters, and it is understandable that the mistakes are made." The stewards belong to each division, not the generals of the stewards. Each division had already set up the stewards before the shogunate issued a specific combat plan, which would naturally lead to the current situation where the stewards had not yet been launched and the stewards had been set up. "It is enough to not hurt the soldiers."

Xiong Jing said that he did not hurt the soldiers. The floating boat that had just towed the two broken boat cannons was violently hit by a warship. Although the impact angle did not break through the huge deck on the side of the floating boat, it was still inevitable to shake violently. The two broken boat cannons on the ship did not have time to fix it, and they slipped sideways as the floating boat drifted violently. No matter how light the sixty-eight-pound cannons were, it was nearly two tons. Once the two-ton-weight thing was moving, it was difficult to stop it from sliding down. Before the rope was removed, the twelve pulling horses were dragged to the back by the cannons.

The floating boat was forty-five meters square, and although the boat was large, it was very light. Two cannons and twelve horses slid to one side, and the whole boat was raised up. The cannon driver hiding behind the oar shield could not care about the arrows shot from the enemy boat, rushed out of the oar shield and pulled the reins tightly to drag the two broken boat cannons back to their original position. However, another enemy boat crashed violently again, and the horse could not drag the cannon, but was dragged to the outside of the oar ship by the artillery. The angle of the floating boat was even more inclined, and even the oar shield fell a few sides.

"Cut the rope!" Xiong Jingzhang, staring at the floating boat, was sweating in his heart and shouted from afar. Unfortunately, he was fighting against the north wind for a mile or two, and the stewards on the floating boat could not hear his voice. I wonder if he was unwilling to abandon these two cannons, or if he thought he could pull the horse back, and no one rushed between the cannons and cut off the ropes.

The cannon slipped and fell, and finally, a "punch" fell into the cold ditch. Twelve horses neighed and four hooves were struggling. They were dragged off the floating boat bit by bit. The cannon was only four tons, and the horse was at least five tons. A moment before the horse fell into the water, a nine-ton thing was pressed on a corner of the floating boat, and the huge hull was raised forty-five degrees. When everyone thought the floating boat was about to overturn and knock it down, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the wooden beam on the floating boat broke in half. The front half fell from the air, splashing a huge splash of water. The second half was dragged down from the gap because the horse was pulled down, and the corner of the water bounced up as quickly as a ball that forced into the water.

"My horse!" The gap was several feet deep. As soon as the horse fell into the gap, it disappeared without a trace. Xiong Jing shouted sadly.

"Da Ao?" The sound of cannons was still roaring. Although the Qin army warships that crashed into the floating bridge were retreating, it was more difficult to retreat than to impact. The warships near the south bank were penetrated into sieves by the cannons, and only the warships on the north side slowly retreated.

There were no casualties on the floating boat, but the twelve dragon horses fell into the gap like this, and Xiong Jing felt very distressed. He waved the whip and shouted angrily: "Stop building the bridge!"

"Da Ao has a life: stop building a bridge!" He ordered the cavalry to run to the front pass, and Xiang Liang and Zhou Hou Ruo rushed over quickly.

"Stop building bridges before there are ten building boats!" Xiong Jing glared at Xiang Liang and Hou Ruo in Zhou, and said unhappyly.

"Now!" Xiong Jing felt sorry for Long Horse, Xiang Liang and Hou Ruoze felt sorry for the cannon. They knew that the short-barrel breaking cannon was extremely precious, and they were thinking about how to fish out the two cannons from the gap.

"Go, don't be too anxious." Xiong Jing waved the two of them back, looking at the Qin army warships slowly sinking on the ditch. One hundred and twenty warships collided without fear of death, leaving about a quarter of the artillery bombardment, and one-quarter of the retreat was seriously injured. Only those warships on the north side could still be fought.

This is mainly determined by the power of artillery. There are many ten-jin cannons, but their power is too small and their penetration is seriously insufficient. Forty warships can only penetrate one or twenty, and they cannot penetrate all of them; the thirty-two-jin cannons have enough penetration, but the number is very small. There were sixteen earlier, but now there are only twelve. There are many short-barrel cannons of sixty-eight jin, but these cannons have limited ranges, and there is no killing for more than one mile.

The water surface of the gulf is as wide as four or five miles wide, only the floating boats in the form of a building are fatal. When these floating boats are lined up, the direct collision of the warship will only hit the huge deck on the side of the floating boat, and then there will be a fierce bombardment of the broken boat cannons. Seven of the ten warships that rushed in will not be able to return, and the whole boat will be injured and cannot fight again.

The Chu army stopped building bridges, and the Qin generals on the north bank were unhelpful. This means that the enemy's bridge building operation had been destroyed by the boat army. Tian Puze, on the flagship on the west side of the ditch, felt distressed. He knew very well that the warship was not the opponent of the witchcraft tower ship, and it would be a matter of time before the Chu army built a bridge across it, but he still wanted to make a last try.

The sun rose, and the thin mist on the water sieve disappeared, and the warm sunlight shone on everyone. This should have been comfortable and moaned, but Tian Pu's face was gloomy and terrifying. He said, "Call the Dead Soldiers' Boat."

"The general has his order to summon the boats of the dead." The army's orders arrived at the rear, and sixty three-oat warships with no difference slowly stepped forward into the formation. At this time, the boat formation was no longer a line of forty boats, but a line of sixty boats, with only three lines as before. The sixty boats that were incorporated into the boat formation from the rear were located in the front of the array. Thick oars and shields were erected in front of them, and the chief spears and swords and shields were standing on the deck in the gray-white cloth armor. The number of soldiers was twice that of the other boats.
