Chapter 36 Shang Ruo

The Kongsang, which was the first to take the lead, was besieged by the Qin army's warships, and the flames burst out from both sides of the left and right swept across all warships. After many summaries, the fleet chose to sink the boat between the wounded and the sinking boat. The shells fired from the 68-jin short-barrel cannon smashed the solid oar shield on the warship and the thin gangway of the warship. Finally, the 32-jin gunboat, which was stuffed into the barrel of the gun, was even more powerful. After the shells shot broke through the warship, the remaining momentum was not over, and all the warships on the entire ballistic were penetrated.

The warship that was hit slowly sank, but the soldiers on the warship suddenly shouted while the artillery loading gap was being loaded. The long ladder hidden on the warship was raised by the soldiers. They climbed the long ladder to climb onto the gunboat's bulwark before the next round of artillery attacks. The warships that did not hit the gunboat began to fire oil bombs on the gunboat. The hit rate of 2 or 30 steps was so high that it was very high. After more than a dozen fire bombs fell, the deck was ignited.

"Shut the sail!" Bu Liangju didn't know that the Qin people had formulated targeted siege tactics for gunboats. When he saw the deck, a fire lit up on the sail, he subconsciously shouted for the sail. Unfortunately, this order was still too late, 'Huh--!' A turbulent oil bomb that hit the main mast poured down the turbulent oil in a waterfall-like pouring down the entire main sail.

"Let it go!" More than one minute of loading time was enough for the gunmen to perform the second round of volleys. The artillery deck was not aware of the situation above. As soon as the bow gun was loaded, the gunman shouted to fire the gun.

‘Boom boom boom boom…’ The flames burst out again, and the warships around the Kongsang were beaten to pieces again. However, the sulphur bombs fell one after another, the canvas was burning, the mast was burning, the deck, and the stern were burning...

Shen Yinshang, who was far behind the Kongsang section, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a little worried. The Qin people had never implemented such a siege tactic before, and this was the reason why he asked the fleet to fight in close combat. After all, only melee combat could hold up more Qin people's warships, but it was precisely because of melee combat that the Kongsang ignited such a flame. He was commanding the battle and was speechless about it. After a long time, he said: "Sent all soldiers in the army: the mother country is behind me."

"The order for all soldiers in the army: mother country..." The word "mother country" made the tone of the subordinates who repeated the order tremble. Thinking of the countless Chu people who were evading from the hundreds of miles behind him, the subordinates took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Mother country is behind me!"

The order turned into colorful flags, because Queshan lags behind the entire fleet, all the gunboats were the guards on the stern building and saw the flags and translated. The sails of the Kongsang, which were already the fourth volley, were lit, and the entire gunboat seemed to have really turned into a volcano. Just as Bu Liangju and others were in a panic, the guards on the stern saw the colorful flags and shouted: "The flagship has a life..."

"What's your life?" Bu Liangju asked subconsciously.

"I'm sending the order to all soldiers of the army: the mother country is behind me!" The guards of the lookout translated the flag language and shouted the whole person immediately as tight as the bowstring.

After hearing the order, Bu Liangju, whose whole body was like ignited gunpowder, was about to explode, suddenly became soft.

"Motherland!" he murmured.

Bu Liangju murmured on the stern, and the artillery deck under the stern, aimed at the warship surrounding him again with solid bullets. At this time, the Cao Xi on the left had already received the enemy. Seeing the flames on the Kongsang, Cao Xiyang had not fired in advance. The only difference was that the Cao Xi had ordered some of the sails to be put away before receiving the enemy.

"Let's go!" Captain Pan Sui looked at the warships surrounding the Cao Xi and shouted angrily. "Boom boom boom boom..." The cannon sounded again, and dazzling flames erupted from both sides of the Cao Xi.

Yang Duan, who was still worried that his own array had not yet been fully unfolded, and Cao Xi frowned even deeper when he saw the artillery fire. More than 20 gunboats of the Chu army were about to rush up. Although his own warships were facing the enemy, the array became more chaotic because of the enemy. Because the Right Army was a newly-entered warship, they actually bumped into each other after Tian Pu attacked. The only hope was the already-fired Chu army gunboat. If more than 20 gunboats of the Chu army were all on fire, the largest maritime battle after the Great Ze Battle would surely be the victory of our side. But if...

On the East China Sea, the broken arrowheads of the Chu army shot the Qin army that had just ended their chaotic and chaotic sailing in the distant seas, but the sharpest tip ignited a raging fire. Even so, the Chu army's gunboats still rushed towards the increasingly chaotic Qin army's boat formation without fear, making waves of thunder. Seeing the war in front of them, friendly gunboats followed one by one to catch the enemy. Yuewang Yuewuzhu, who should have been blocked in the rear, could no longer hold it back. He yelled at the boatman behind him: "Beat the drum and kill the Qin people!"

"Master, you can't!" The boat clerk who had participated in the military discussion and knew his own mission quickly stopped him. "Swish!" The angry Yue Wuzhu pushed the boat clerk out of the sea. He ran from the bow of the boat to the stern of the boat and grabbed the drumstick and hit the drum.

‘Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong…’ As soon as Wang Zhou’s drum sounded, Yue Zhuan and Yuefushan could only follow the drums, and more than 120 large-winged warships were no longer waiting. While beating the drums, they rushed towards the chaotic front where the two armies were fighting.

Whenever the Yue army had any abnormal movement, someone told Shen Yinshang. Seeing that the Yue people rushed up against the order and did not block the back, Shen Yinshang raised it in one breath but didn't know what to say. The Yue king, Yue Wuzhu, took the lead and rushed up, and naturally it was impossible to retreat. He could only hope that the Qin army's warship would not rush out of the battle formation and rushed towards his rear. At the same time, he hoped that the rogue had already sent an alarm to the rear. The Qin people's boat army went south, and the boats that were evading must immediately dock to hide, otherwise there would be a catastrophe.

Shen Yin could not stop the attack of the Yue people, he could only hope. When he was hoping, Zhu Fanggang had just received a specific report from the pike, and before that, only the Qin army went south.

"I should avoid it when the Qin people came across the sea." Li Qi, who had already retreated to this place in Zhufang Port, hurriedly spoke when he heard the news. According to the plan, after receiving the message that the Qin army's boat troops headed south, he should immediately order the evacuated boats to dock to hide. He didn't know what the Lord of Luyang was hesitating.

"But the place where the battle is more than a hundred miles away..." The Lord of Luyang seemed to be lucky. Seeing Li Qie was puzzled, he had to tell the whole story: "This year's monsoon was later than last year. Although there were few boys, there were many common people who were evading. If they did not move early, they would be stranded in Jiangdong...

Then, if it is still, if it is still..."

The King of Luyang said in the end and was speechless. He didn't say it completely. He didn't say it completely. Li and he understood his thoughts. What he was most worried about was not that the boat that was evading was sunk by the Qin army. What he was most worried about was that the Chu army fleet was defeated. The sinking was only a few people. After the defeat, the Qin army's boat troops blocked the estuary of the Yangtze River, and all the boats were blocked in the Yangtze River, Jiangdong, and Yuedi. This was a hundred times more serious than the boat that was evading from the sunk. This was not that the entire army was mo, but that was half of the Chu country was mo!

The Lord of Luyang was worried, and with the intention of rushing out to count one ship, he did not give the order to avoid the boat. Li Qi had to look at Naoji, which could stop him from doing this. However, Naoji was silent. Yesterday, Huaiyin City fell. Although there was no news except for the fall, based on the tradition of Qin army breaking the city and beheading and winning, there would be no intact head left in the whole city.

Surrender can end the war as quickly as possible and protect the common people to the greatest extent. However, after surrendering, it will not be possible to avoid evacuation. If you resist, that is what you see now. The Qin army burned and killed them all the way, and any resistance would be massacred and beheaded. Naojiu didn't know whether he did it right or wrong.

Similarly, he didn't know whether the decision was right or wrong. The news reported that the Qin army's warships did not mention the number, but said that they blocked the sea. Obviously, all the Qin army's boats were heading south, while they only had twenty-two gunboats and one hundred and twenty-six new wings. Although the gunboats were profitable, the disparity in force was too great. What if they were defeated?

Naojiu will never forget the news that came from the early stage of the Battle of Sand Sea. He is so sure to win, but the result of the decisive battle is broken. There are many variable factors in naval battles than in land battles, including Shen Yinshang, who led the army to fight, never said that he would win this battle. If Shang Ruo really lost, the gunboats and warships were sinking, and hundreds of thousands of Chu people could no longer avoid it.
