Not changed

The Chu army was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat, especially the hand-to-hand combat between the boat troops. The top point was not because the Chu soldiers were braver than the Qin soldiers, but because the Qin soldiers could not board the floating boat at all. Xiong Jing was more worried about fire attack. Since the Qin people had learned to make Jing crossbows, they would naturally make elastic tick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-

The cavalry ran westward. The Qin people did not have elastic trenchers on the warships, only soldiers wearing gray cloth armor. This made Xiong Jing breathe a sigh of relief and felt something was wrong. The Li Xinshi's shogunate bamboo slips seized last year mentioned this trencher, but the Chu army had never seen the real thing.

The construction of floating boats was not achieved overnight. In order to prevent the Qin people from rushing towards him again, the short-barrel cannons were first placed on the shore of the ditch, while the floating boats were built on the east side of the gun array. After building a floating boat, they towed the short-barrel cannons and ten-pound cannons onto the ship. In this way, the ten floating boats were not all set up until noon.

At noon, the sun was already a little hot, and the huge armor was burning hot, and the tentacles hurt people. Some soldiers had to cover the huge armor with long robes. Xiong Jing, who was riding on the horse wearing the huge armor, was sweating profusely by the sun. He wanted to get off the horse and rest, but at this time, ten floating boats were slowly moving towards the ditch. The production of short-barrel cannons was insufficient, and only the northernmost floating boats had twenty gates, and the other nine floating boats had twelve and three gates on the side facing the Qin people's boat division, except for only six ten-pound cannons.

At this time, the entire Chu army had only fifty-six ten-pound cannons, twelve siege cannons, and 134 short-barrel boat-breaking cannons. Now, except for the twelve siege cannons, the rest of the cannons are all on these ten floating ships. If these ten floating ships sink, they can only wait until the gulf is frozen four inches before they can attack the sand sea.

Xiong Jing stared at the ten floating boats, knowing that Zhuang Wudi, who carried most of the artillery on the floating boats, Peng Zong, Dongyegu and others also stared at the ten floating boats. The Chu army had been busy all morning and suddenly took action. Wang Ben and others on the other side of the shore were also watching the ten floating boats. The actions led the whole army. For a time, tens of thousands of people on both sides of the shore watched these floating boats that were rowing farther and farther away.

In the early morning, the Qin army's boat division's drum building sounded unexpectedly and launched an extremely successful attack. Now the Qin army's boat division was unexpectedly silent. Wang Ben on the north bank continued to shoot the attacking military flag, but the flagship where Tian Pu was located did not shoot the flag. Until Xiong Jing felt a little strange, the five-oar flagship reluctantly shot a flag, and the drum sounded suddenly.

On the floating boat lined up, a shout of "ready, ready" sounded. The floating boat that had just broken into two halves and put together became Bu Liangju's flagship. In order to facilitate other floating boats to receive military orders, this flagship also raised a small half of the hull among the ten floating boats. The battle between the tower ship and the Qin people's boat army had already been decided a few months ago. Many gunmen and gunmen participated in that battle, so they seemed calm and at ease at this time.

Only the Chu soldiers on the shore watched the Qin people's boat troops galloping on the water like heavy cavalry, with a very scary sound, and their hearts were all raised to their throats. When the warship passed, the Xiang army and the archers of the Huainan army couldn't help but shoot arrows at the warship. The gap was more than three miles wide, and the thin ice on both sides occupied half a mile. The arrows shot out did not even touch the shadow of the warship, and all fell on the thin ice on the shore of the ditch.

Arrows were useless. When the twelve siege cannons still on the shore were fired, holes were made on the side of the warship that was hit at high speed. The shelling was ineffective for a short period of time. The warships with the cannon continued to rush forward until more than 100 cannons on the floating boat were fired violently under Bu Liangju's order. The soldiers of the Chu army standing on the south bank could see some warships being smashed to pieces, but the increasingly thick smoke of gunfire was swept by the north wind. In the choking smoke, including Xiong Jing, people could see nothing but the flames, and they could not hear anything except the deafening sound of gunfire.

While coughing, the people waited for the end of the battle, and they rushed to the scene. "Reported to Da Ao, the Qin people's boat troops formed several formations and wanted to attack in a combo."

"Ah?!" Standing on the south bank, Xiong Jing could not see Tian Pu's flagship on the west side. He was immersed in the white smoke. It was not impossible to see it. The Qin army did not attack once like in the morning, but would attack several times.

The gulf is not Muze. If Muze warship sinks, because the water is less than 1 meter shallow, the sinking boat will block the impact path of the warship behind; the water depth of the gulf is several meters, and the warship sinks at most two meters. If the sinking warship cannot be stacked, no matter how much sinking it, it will not affect the warship behind it to continue to hit.

"The mission is to Bu Liangju, and the Qin people rushed forward several formations." The artillery was all on the floating boat, and Xiong Jing on the shore could do nothing but a message warning. He could only hope that the barrel would not be red, once it was red...

"Appoint Xiang Shi to send a soldier on board the ship quickly to prevent formation battles!" Xiong Jing then ordered. If the shelling could not continue, hand-to-hand combat could occur at any time, and Xiong Jing had to order Xiang Shi to board the ship and prepare.

The floating boats lined up in a row, reaching more than 700 steps from the south bank to the north bank. The interval between each floating boat was very small and could be connected by a pallet. The Xiang army infantry boarded the ship immediately. The floating boat was dozens of feet wide. It was not a problem for the infantry to line up behind the artillery array. However, for the first time, half of the soldiers were extremely shocked.

The boatman and gunner who were fighting did not care about the soldiers of the Xiang army who boarded the ship. The Qin army had already attacked three times in a row. This was not the forty ships in a row, one by three lines like the morning, but the hundreds of warships lined up and attacked at full speed.

The old artillery soldiers who participated in the Muze artillery battle were fine. Some new artillery soldiers were gradually in a hurry under such continuous attacks as waves. More than a dozen of the first ten-pound cannons were suddenly exploded at a critical moment. Fortunately, this was a huge iron, not cast iron, and the explosion only exploded the barrel, which did not hurt many artillery soldiers, nor did it ignite the gun powder behind the artillery array. However, the crisis still existed. Half of the artillery heated the barrel, and a small number of them were already red. Seeing that most of the warships in front were sunk, another wave of warships rushed towards him.

"Stop the shelling, replace the shotgun! Stop the shelling, replace the shotgun..." Bu Liangju shouted again on the flagship that was protruding half of the hull. The cannons kept ringing, and his orders were completely submerged in the roar of the cannons. During the battle of sea boat artillery, the flagship orders could not be passed. The most reliable way was to send a small boat to the small boat. The floating boat was connected, and there was no need for a small boat. Several soldiers were ordered to quickly run to the left and right. After half a quarter of an hour, all the cannons would be replaced.

Xiong Jing, who lives on the south bank, could not see the battle scene. Wang Ben and Tian Pu on the north bank and the west bank saw the normal battle clearly. His cavalry successfully attacked the Chu army's artillery array to inspire Tian Pu. He had been thinking before: If the warships were lined up like cavalry and continued to attack, could they also break the Chu army's artillery ships?

The Battle of the Gap is an excellent opportunity to test this tactic. From the beginning, he did not intend to make a one-time attack, but to attack continuously. As long as there were available warships in his hand, he would throw them into the final attack. Unfortunately, the warships under his command were limited. After most of the warships that had the third attack sank, one hundred and eighty warships left to launch the final attack, and the five-over flagship he was in was also in the attacking boat formation.

The order to replace the shotgun allows the Chu army's artillery to breathe. After all, the effective range of shotgun fired shotgun is no more than 150 steps. Because the departure distance is five miles away, it takes five or six minutes for the Qin army warships lined up in front of the floating ship. A few minutes of gap is enough to allow the north wind to blow away the thick smoke, revealing the true appearance of the ten floating ships.

The Chu soldiers on the south bank saw that dozens of warships on the west side of the floating boat retreated and sank. On the warship, the Qin people either sank with the warships or jumped into the gulf. As a result, they struggled for a few times and sank. The ditch water was already red, and the bodies of Qin people were floating on it. A few Qin people who knew the magic tricks wanted to climb onto the floating boat, but they were shot to death by the archers on the ship before they got close. The ditch water flowed eastward, and the blood and the corpse slowly flowed to the beam.

Unlike the Qin people's boat troops, the floating boat floated unscathed on the gulf. The flags of the ship's officials were blown straight by the north wind. Because the sound of cannons stopped, everyone could even hear the military flags on the ship being blown by the wind. Some people wanted to shout long live, but the Qin people's warship rushed over again. Shortly after the siege cannons on the west side rang out, the cannons on the floating boat also sounded, and the smoke of gunfire once again hides everything, and the world in front of them turns white again.

"Let it go..." The last moment came, and the gunship commanders had already hoarse voices and shouted loudest. It seemed that it was not the Qin warship rushing towards them, but the endless enemies rushed onto the floating ship, and the two armies began a fierce hand-to-hand fight. After the red and hot gun barrel roared, the shotgun scraped the wall of the already sluggish chamber and broke out. The wooden boards of the warship several inches thick could not block the rain of shotguns in a canopy. The hands and soldiers were constantly confused and bloody, and they were shot and killed.

Even so, the warship still hit the huge deck on the side of the floating ship. At such a close range, every tent of snatching rain seemed to be cleaning the deck. More and more people in the cabin were killed. The boatman had already died, and without the orders of the boatman, the surviving hand was still habitually back-rowing.

According to the previous several attacks, the warship would be quickly sunk by the artillery of Chu. However, after using the shotgun, the warship floated on the water even if there was no living hand in the cabin, the warship still was difficult to sink. These warships full of corpses were oblique or horizontal, just blocked the forward rushing of the fifth wave of warships led by Tian Pu. Sixty warships filled with hand-to-hand soldiers either hit their own warships, or turned to avoid them, and rushed towards the floating ships of the Chu army on their side.

The five-oar flagship, sandwiched in the warship, had to turn urgently. When he saw a row of cannons on the floating boat aimed at him and was about to open fire, Tian Pu, whose liver and gallbladder cracked, shouted: "Stop!"
