Chapter 11 Water War

The next day, Fusu pulled out a large ship and sent the gloomy Princess Yinhua back to the Shitun Water Army camp, and then repelled Ni Zhong back to the Minducheng Village. This scene made the generals very puzzled. Although they knew something strange must have happened, Fusu did not say it, and everyone dared not ask, so they had to put it in their stomachs!

So, Fusu, who was careless, immediately led the Qin army into Nanpuxi and headed north to find the Pushu Army in Fujian and Vietnam!

Just one day after entering Nanpuxi, the Qin army began to encounter large and small ships of the Minyue Army. After a wave of arrows, Fusu knew that the main force of the Minyue Shui Division was nearby! He did not dare to neglect for a while. Not only did he order the army to take strict vigilance, but he also sent a large number of sentry ships and scattered along the river to search for the enemy's traces!

And when the enemy situation was not clear, Li Xin's troops did not dare to cross the river at will, but just followed the main force from afar, watching the situation!

The next morning, the main force of the Qin army's water and land had just stepped forward when he heard a warning message from the ship in front of him: "Your High School, I found the main force of the Pu Shui Army in Fujian fifteen miles ahead, with about 30,000 people. They were sailing through the waves, going downstream, and heading straight for our army!"

Fusu was overjoyed and slapped the table and said, "Okay! I have been waiting for it for a long time! The person coming, first, ordered the navy to set up a formation immediately and prepare for the battle; second, notified General Ren Xiao on the shore to prepare for the enemy; third, notified General Li Xin to start building a bridge and crossing the river immediately!" "Here!"

Fusu said confidently: "I want to see how your Minyue navy army blocked my 200,000 army!"

"Report that the enemy ship has approached our army ten miles!"

"Take it again!"

"Report that the enemy ship has approached our army five miles!"

Fusu suddenly stood up and shouted, "Tell me the general order, the swords of each ship are unsheathed, the bows are skeletoned, the generals return to their positions, and prepare to fight!" "Here!"

At the time of the drums, people came and went on the Qin army warships, running around. A furnace of charcoal fire rose, and crossbows were spread out, waiting to give the enemy a headache! On the shore, Ren Xiao's troops also arranged crossbow soldiers to the shore, and heavy weapons such as catapults and crossbows were also staring at the river with fierce eyes!

"Your Majesty, the enemy is here!" The lookout soldiers on the whistle at the top of the commander's ship shouted loudly!

Fusu stood on the commanding ship, and heard this, he set up a pergola with his hands and looked into the distance: Sure enough, in the distant sky, a large number of sail shadows appeared, gradually appearing a huge ship, which was going downstream and heading towards the Qin army!

Fusu's heart surged for a moment, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists hard: "Minyue soldiers, come on, see who is the king of water war!"

At this moment, a sudden fire lit up in front of him, and then a hurried alarm came from the sentry: "Report, lord, the enemy's army is going downstream and releases a large number of fire ships!"

"What!? Fire Ship!?" Fusu was shocked and said to himself: "It seems that the general of the Nanpu Water Army wants to give me a warning and learn and apply the trick of burning fish belly Puna! Don't say that this move is poisonous enough. Our warships are so dense. If we let it burn, the losses will be heavy. Even if we don't fight, we will lose without fighting! In the water battle, the advantage of geographical advantage is sometimes decisive!"

He did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly ordered: "I will order you, and all ships must not panic. Immediately use a catapult to launch a huge rock to sink the enemy's fire ship!" "Here!"

"Squeak squeak..." A strange sound immediately sounded over the Qin fleet.

"Let it go!" Two light catapults on the first and last sterns of each ship of the front army immediately launched, hundreds of huge rocks roaring in the air and running forward!

Four or five hundred steps away, hundreds of small fire boats were emitting raging flames, almost blocking Nanpu River, and were roaring towards them.

"Click! Flick! Flick!..." The huge rock fell like rain: when it fell into the water, it immediately splashed huge waves, causing the fire ships to fall and collided with each other; some hit the fire ships directly. How could the small fire ship withstand the thirty-pound big stones with a strong blow, and they were immediately smashed and disintegrated, and the bones dug into the water and sank!

For a moment, waves surging on Nanpu River were rumbling, and fire boats were smashed into pieces from time to time. Broken wooden boards and oil flowers of all sizes were floating on the river! Suddenly, the number of Min Yue fire boats on the river increased dramatically, and one after another was hit by huge rocks whistling in the sky!

"Report—! The fire ships are still 150 steps away from our fleet, and there are less than fifty!" The lookout soldiers shouted!

Fusu frowned and shouted, "Don't panic, I will order me to break the rear with the gillnet ship, fight and retreat, keep a distance, sink the fire ship at full speed, and fight back with all your strength!" "Here!"

At the movement of the war drum, the well-trained Qin army immediately began to adjust its formation. The bow of the boat did not turn, and the rowers quickly rowed backwards, widening the distance from the enemy fireboat, and gradually introducing the enemy into the combined attack range with Ren Xiao's troops!

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." The huge rocks in the air roared and smashed the enemy fire ships that were still following the pursuit, and while retreating, they knocked over the remaining fire ships one by one and sank them!

Gradually, the fire ship was light and much faster. Just look at it and you were going to catch up with the Qin army's broken rear gill net ship! At this moment, Ren Xiao's troops, who were operating slightly slow on the shore, rushed up. Seeing that the navy was in a bad situation, they quickly ordered the interception of the Minyue Fire Ship!

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." On the east bank of Nanpuxi, the Qin army land troops hurriedly arranged to attack with large and large crossbows and catapults towards their fleets, reluctantly.

For a moment, the arrows and stones on the river suddenly became dense, and the waves of "thump, plop..." splashed everywhere! Twenty or thirty fire ships that were almost doubled the power of the blow were hit one by one, and sank into the river helplessly!

Finally, the only three remaining fire boats avoided the stone rain of Mianyu and crashed into the Qin army's broken back gill ship! When they saw that they were about to collide, the fire boat suddenly froze and immediately stopped ten steps away from the gill ship.

It turned out that Fusu had long expected that there might be a fire attack move in the water battle. Not only were each warship equipped with trenchers of different sizes, but also equipped with gill nets on some ships. This gill net has many functions, and can not only kill the enemy's "water ghosts" who came under the water, but also can hold the enemy's fire ships away ten steps away, which has many wonderful things. This is a little knowledge Fusu learned from Xiang Yan during the battle of crossing the Huai River!

Even so, the Qin army on the broken gill ships were still roasted by the raging flames emitted by the fire ships ten steps away! Although the Qin army was panicked, they immediately wet their wet clothes with cold water toppings, and then smashed them with big stones to the fire ships! Several gill ships next to them also came to help, and the giant crossbow and arrow stone greeted the fire ships fiercely!

The flames were booming, and the fire snakes were running around. The Qin army on the gill net ship took turns to pounce on the fire, desperately pounced on the gill net. The eyebrows were burned and the hair was scorched, but the arrow stones were still falling like rain! One round, two rounds, three rounds... Soon, the three net-sliding fish were quickly sunk under the full force of more than ten gill net ships behind the broken force!

"Ao--!" Earth-shaking cheers erupted over the Qin fleet!

Fusu's heart, which had been in his throat, finally returned to his stomach, and shouted viciously: "Tell me the order, the whole army covers it, and teach me a lesson in these Fujian and Yue barbarians!"

"Kill--!" The Qin fleet immediately made a shocking shout of killing. The Qin soldiers dressed in short clothes, waved the sword in their hands, and cheered loudly! The large number of paddlers were also more brave at this time, with their arms and muscles spreading, and they tried their best to change directions, destroying the big ship and killing the generals back!

"Report——! General Yan, our fire ships did not cause any harm to the Qin army, and were all sunk by the Qin army with flying stones! The Qin army has now turned the bow of the ship, reorganized its formation, and came forward!"

"What!? Flying Stones!?" Yan Zhong, the general of the Pu Shui Army in Fujian, was stunned! More than a hundred small fire boats did not even hurt the Qin army's hair. This was simply incredible!

But it is no wonder that the catapult appeared in the Central Plains shortly after it was far from spreading to this wilderness in the south. How could Yan Zhong know that there was such an attack method!

"General, the Qin army has come up to fight, please decide!" The side general behind him looked shocked and quickly reminded him!

Yan Zhong suddenly woke up, suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, and shouted: "Heroic men, our country of Minyue has reached the point of survival and death. Today is either the enemy or the death of me! Kill—! Fight to the death with the Qin people!"

The people of Minyue have always been brave, and now they have no choice but to retreat and cannot avoid them. They can't help but inspire a full body of fierce aura, jumping and shouting on the hull, and their fiery eyes are full of fighting spirit of death!

The two fleets approached quickly at extremely high relative speeds, quickly approaching within four hundred steps.

Fusu shouted: "Attack the catapult, give the Minyue barbarian a little color!" "Here!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong..." The earth-shaking attack drum sounded! "Swhooshwhooshwhooshwhoosh..." The sky was filled with whistling huge rocks, rolling in the air, roaring and dripping through beautiful parabolas, running towards the target!

"Aowu——!" The Qin soldiers were so excited that they were filled with wolf howlings. Unfortunately, they were all surrounded by water. If they were on land, they would have rushed up like crazy!

"Bump..." The arrows and stones in the sky fell fiercely into the Minyue Navy's ship formation, and the waves were splashing, and from time to time, ships were hit by flying stones! Wood chips were flying randomly, mixed with a large amount of blood and flying residual limbs!

Suddenly, a similar whistling sounded on the east bank, and Ren Xiao's troops were all brave enough to start the catapult and smash it hard!

For a moment, the Minyue navy, who was caught off guard, was smashed and screamed and ran away on the boat! From time to time, some people screamed and were hit by rocks, or fell into the water in the crowd!

In the blink of an eye, the Minyue Navy had not yet officially met the Qin army, and dozens of warships that were leading the front army were smashed into pieces and began to enter the water! The Minyue Army couldn't help but start to plug the leaks in vain!

"Oh!" From afar, the Qin soldiers saw the embarrassing appearance of the Minyue people, and couldn't help but sweep away the depression just now and burst into laughter! Various slangs also poured out, asking the female ancestors of the Minyue people!

"Transfer the order, the heavy crossbow machine is started at full speed! I'll call the people of Minyue again!" "Here!"

As the war drums continued to beat, the Qin army crossbow machine, which had been taciturn, also made a sound. In the "swish" screams all over the sky, the ultimate long-range precision weapons of ancient times exerted their great power: a famous Fujian Yue army was penetrated by a huge arrow and firmly nailed to the cabin; arrow towers, female walls, the cabin was shot by the huge arrows and cracked, and wood chips flew around!

Suddenly, the Minyue Army became even more panicked! Although the Qin army was going upstream, it relied on the cooperation of sharp weapons and shore-based forces to make the Minyue people unable to raise their heads. It took a long time to release a few stray arrows!

Gradually, the distance between the two fleets approached 200 steps. The Minyue people, who lacked heavy crossbows and no catapults, finally began to counterattack in a more organized manner: countless streamlined arrows surged out from the Minyue warships like locusts. Although people were hit by the Qin army's arrows from time to time, the Minyue people still fought back bravely!

"Puboo..." The Qin army finally suffered casualties in the midst of the chaotic arrows of the Minyue people. For a moment, the Qin army did not dare to be exposed to the air anymore. They shrank behind the female wall to fight against the Minyue army, and let each other go astray!

As the distance between the two ships approached, the arrows fired from fire to fire. For a moment, rockets flew around the river, making a sound, like a huge meteor shower, covering the wide river surface almost airtightly, and the sky was filled with red!

The fire soon ignited, and the two armies' vanguard warships, which were the first to be blasted, began to catch fire one after another, and the river surface was full of red! The soldiers of the two armies couldn't help but attack each other while busy extinguishing the fire. The battle began to enter a white-hot stage!

Fusu frowned and ordered: "Send an order. The front army mainly attacks the enemy's vanguard fleet with bows and crossbows. The central army's catapult aircraft began to extend to the rear formation of the Minyue Fleet to block the reinforcements of the Minyue Fleet!" "Here!"

In an instant, the Qin army's stone rain began to move from the front army of Minyue to the central army. The safer Minyue Central Army was beaten up by the rocks, and deeply felt the pain of the brothers of the front army. Even Yan Zhong's commanding ship was hit by a big rock at the bow of the ship. After smashing a few wooden boards, he did not dare to approach the front army too much. He had to temporarily rush in the river and command the battle remotely!

"Collapse!" The two armies' vanguard warships finally collided in the river. Amid the violent collision, the soldiers of the Qin army and the Minyue army could not wait for the warships to stop completely, so they snatched the enemy warships and began to fight hard! For a moment, the two armies on the river began a fierce hand-to-hand combat! The Qin army was brave and Minyue was good at fighting, and the two sides were hard to solve!

At this time, the Qin army on the shore, which could not help the front army for a while, began to move a large number of crossbow soldiers and catapults to the positions of the two armies in the middle and rear of the Minyue Army, and the two sides began to shoot at each other! In this way, under the attack of the Qin Navy Central Army's stone rain and the efforts of the Qin Navy's shore base troops, the Minyue Navy's assistance to the front army gradually became exhausted!

Gradually, the Minyue Front Army, which had suffered nearly half of the losses in the initial confrontation, could not help but resist the Qin army's brave offensive and gradually showed its defeat! The warships of the Minyue Front Army were very reluctant to be seized by the Qin army one by one!

Seeing that the war gradually developed in a direction that was beneficial to the Qin army, Fusu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Although it was the first water battle, there were still many shortcomings, but to achieve this point, it would be successful!"

He waved his hand and said, "Tell me that the order of the 'Wolf Tooth' is all in the water and starts to sank and attack!" "Here!"

Amid the overwhelming sound of the Qin army's warriors, the 1,000 "wolf teeth" warriors wearing only a narrow calves, held hammers and chisels in the other, and a short dagger was inserted behind their waists. They all jumped into the water and rushed forward with fierce war!

These thousand trained "water ghosts" swam under the water of the front army in a blink of an eye. Although their target was not here, they still made a hammer without hesitation when they encountered the Minyue navy who fell into the water!

Soon, these thousand "water ghosts" swam across the battlefield between the two armies and approached the Minyue Central Army. At this time, the Minyue Central Army was busy dealing with the Qin army's overwhelming arrow and stone attacks, and did not even look at the reed tubes floating over the water in the chaos!

Qin Hu led the "Wolf Tooth" warriors to the Minyue Central Warships, each aimed at an enemy ship and hammered it, chiseled it up, and "bumped" the operation! Suddenly, a strange and dull collision sounded on the surface of the river!

"What's the sound!" The soldiers of the Central Fujian Army, who were poor at dealing with it, were in surprise and inquire about each other.

Soon, piles of wood chips floated under the water, and then someone shouted at the bottom of the bilge: "No, there are people under the water, and the bottom of the boat was chiseled!"

"What!? There are people underwater!?" Yan Zhong was shocked on the commander's ship, and his face changed drastically and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, all ships will separate some of the people into the water and kill all the Qin army!"

The Minyue navy was panicked and had to draw out two thousand people from the already stretched central army to prepare to launch the water to protect the warship.

"Hurry up, put me in the water, put me in the water!" The officers of Minyue drove one sergeant after another into the water!

"Pu, pu..." The water surface immediately jumped into countless Minyue naval armies as if they were towards dumplings. In time, a fierce underwater battle began. The fierce "Wolf Tooth" warrior and the Minyue naval armies who were good at water began to fight against each other under the water!

Fierce battles underwater are not as good as those on the ground or on warships. They compare who has higher water quality and whose hands and feet are faster. After all, in the turbid water, the vision is not clear at all. If you find the enemy within a few steps, you will be attacked by the enemy first. And underwater, once you are bleeding and injured first, the strong water pressure will first destroy the injured's combat power. Therefore, water battles should be based on water quality and reaction second!

In comparison: in terms of water nature, the "Wolf Tooth" warrior who has been strictly trained for a long time is no less than the Minyue Navy. Even because Fusu deliberately trained it for three months, it is even more than the Minyue Navy Navy. In terms of reaction, the "Wolf Tooth" warrior who is one in a hundred is even more comparable to the ordinary Minyue Navy Navy! Moreover, the water-dividing effect of the Qin army is far stronger than the heavy sword of the Minyue Army, so the close-range attack is even more fierce!

So, the fierce battle underwater soon decided to win and lose: although the number of Minyue soldiers had the advantage, the "Wolf Tooth" warrior, who had the advantage of quality and the advantage of waiting for work, quickly destroyed the combat power and will of the two thousand Minyue soldiers. For a moment, streams of blood rose from time to time on the water surface, and then floating corpses rushed to the water surface! Of course, most of the floating corpses were the Minyue soldiers!

Maybe this is the difference between professional special forces and amateurs!

Soon, the Minyue navy, who were killed and bravely broke, emerged from the water one after another, climbed the edge of the boat and wanted to escape on the boat! The Minyue officers were furious when they saw this and shouted: "Go back, go back!" They slashed their heads and drove the deserters into the water again! Unfortunately, how could a person who had lost his fighting spirit win the bloody battle? In just a moment, the water calmed down, and the sound of ding-knit attacks sounded again!

The Minyue Central Army warship, which had already been chiseled everywhere, was injured this time, and it was sprayed everywhere like a huge shower head, and the bottom of the bilge immediately turned into a vast ocean! In addition, the Qin army's attack on the water and land basis continued, and the Minyue Navy warships began to sink one after another, and the water was filled with Minyue Navy naval troops who had dived and escaped!

Yan Zhong saw that it was not good at this time. The front army was basically over, and the central army was almost over. The battle was definitely lost! He immediately ordered: "Retreat!" It's a pity that there were only a few Minyue Central Army warships that could still be able to row backwards at this time!

Fusu looked from afar, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and waved his hand: "Send the order, cover the three armies and completely destroy the Minyue army!"

"Qin Feng! Qin Feng!..." The Qin soldiers shouted, shouting uniform horns. The two middle and rear armies rushed forward together, instantly destroying the broken Minyue front army and killing the Minyue Central Army!

At this time, most of the warships of the central army in Fujian and Yue had begun to sink. Those who did not sink were also fired above and leaked from below. They were in danger. Seeing that the main force of the Qin Shui Army was coming in large numbers, how could they dare to resist? They all left the dying warships and dived to escape!

This made the Qin army even more impressed. The Qin army on the big ship had a wave of arrows and the Qin army on the small ship had a random stab. He immediately killed the Minyue naval army floating on the water, which was full of corpses on the river, and the river surface was red. It was a pity that the Minyue soldiers in the water had no power to fight back. The Qin army's move was very suspicious of beating the dogs in the water!
To be continued...
