The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the entire beach was beyond recognition. Sand pits about ten meters deep were spread across the beach. The cold river water was pouring back into these pits. The bodies of incomplete corpses slowly wriggled under the push of the water. At this moment, even the quiet Yingshui River was boiling. Near the shore, a huge vortex was forming, rotating, and after a while, a loud bang, and the huge waves finally slapped on the bank of the river.↑,

Several survivors were in a daze and wandered unconsciously on the beach. The place where they were moving forward was Yingshui River. They ignored the desperate shouts of their companions behind them, and they plunged into the cold river. After struggling for a few moments, they disappeared from everyone's sight as the river sinks and floats.

The river water turned red.

The snow on the beach turned red.

The sand also turned red.

The first wave of attackers disappeared on the river beach and on the embankment. The Chu army, who were about to move forward, turned around together and disappeared behind the embankment in a blink of an eye. Countless rafts that were struggling to be broken were either shaken away or turned into wood and drifted down the river.

Bai Xizhong's first attack ended before it even started. From the night 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 on the beach, Bai Xizhong rushed up with blood and his face turned red.

The war now is very different from before, and there are too many things he cannot understand.

"Retreat, take a break." He gave the order with difficulty.

On the map in front of Gao Yuan, Jingzhou, Nanyang County, the positions of several large armies of Qin were marked on the map by Ning Xin, and tens of thousands of Qu Wan attacked Yingshui along the way. They were specially marked black to show the degree of danger.

"The last battle!" Gao Yuan let out a sigh, "It's time to send the entire army to start the general attack."

In order to lure the Qin army to send troops, Gao Yuan's attack on Jingzhou, Chu State was always unhurried. In many cases, he even had to desperately create an illusion of difficulty in walking. Each army took turns to attack. Even so, the Han army now compressed the Chu army into a very small range, approaching Xinye, Anyang, and Anzhong, and the other to Anzhong. The Chu army had dropped from the initial 500,000 army to less than 300,000. The lost 200,000 army was mostly defeated by the Han army. These were not well-trained troops. After being defeated, they fled, took off their military uniforms, ran home wildly, and turned into peasants with one hoe.

Now that Qin has almost come out in full swing, his lofty goals have been achieved. He no longer needs to work with the Chu people.

Li Quan held the ship's railing with both hands and watched his fleet approaching the current. The river water hit the ship gang, causing the ship to shake slightly. This was a fleet of fifty three-story ships. Except for the ten in front of them, the rest were all equipped with naval marines transferred from the navy. Li Quan was excited to be able to command this army that was siege and plundering overseas again.

A few days ago, the King of Han Gao Yuan met the commander of the Inland Water Naval Division. After comforting him, he had already made it clear that after this battle, he would return to the navy and become Yang Qingyi's deputy. This made Li Quan very excited. Although he had taken a long detour, he finally returned to the navy that he was dreaming about.

The navy commanded by him became the first unit of the general attack. They will be a sharp arrow and penetrated from the water to the core part of the opponent. Since the war started, the Han Navy did not launch an attack on the last remaining navy of the Chu army, and the Chu Navy knew it would be defeated and had been huddled in the water camp. But now, they can no longer hide and have to come out to fight the Han army to the death.

"Commander Li, the Chu Navy appeared in front of him." Above the Diao Dou, the flag-speaking soldier bent down and shouted loudly.

"The warships move forward to meet the enemy, notify the troop transport ships in the rear, keep the distance from the warships, and be on full alert." Li Quan ordered loudly.

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

As the flag-speaking soldiers waved the flags, ten warships in front left the team and accelerated forward, forming a herringbone and sailing forward.

Fighting against the current and against the wind. From the perspective of water war, the Han army was indeed at a disadvantage in form, but considering the huge gap in long-range attack power between the two sides, these disadvantages can basically be ignored.

"Small boats, so many small boats." The soldier above the Diao Dou shouted in surprise. In his vision, he saw hundreds of small fishing paddles, which were rapidly flowing down the river. In front of the huge Han army warship, this small fishing paddle was almost no different from a small reptile. Why did the Chu army use this small boat to attack? The soldiers were a little puzzled.

Li Quan was different. When he first saw those small rowing fishing boats, he understood what Chu Jun wanted to do. The indigenous people who were conquered by them had never thought about what they could do to attack their big ships.

"The enemy wants to attack with fire. All warships turn, face the enemy on the side, fire all their guns, smash all these fishing boats." Li Quan shouted loudly.

The speed of the warships slowed down, and they slowly turned on the wide river surface, aiming the side of their fiercest firepower ahead. When they had just set up their formation, countless small fishing boats had clearly appeared in front of them. Li Quan was slightly surprised because there were no fire-driven things on these fishing boats, and there was nothing to see from the outside. He could only see two soldiers on each boat rowing their oars desperately.

After a slight twist in his mind, Li Quan's face changed slightly, "Start the ships, the ships are loaded with explosives, so you must not let them get close, fire and sank them."

If it is a fire-driving ship, Li Quan was not afraid. His warships were covered with iron armor and the hull had been specially fire-proofed. Even if it was ignited, it could manage losses in a very short time, and the warship would not lose its combat effectiveness. But if it was explosives, it would be different. Any small fishing boat leaned on to detonate it could immediately make one of his warships lose its combat effectiveness. The most terrifying thing is that these small fishing boats slipped between them and leaned on the troop transport ships in the rear, which would be troublesome. Blasting and sinking one would be thousands of lives.

The rumbling sound of cannons sounded, and one by one, one by one, and flew out of the cannonballs and flew towards the small fishing boat on the river with red flames. Li Quan stared at the front without turning his eyes. When he saw a small fishing boat hit by the cannon, it made a loud noise and the entire boat was blown to pieces, his guess was confirmed, and it was indeed a pure suicide attack filled with explosives.

"The artillery continues to fire, and I need the suicide squad to set up an interception line on the river." Li Quan took a deep breath.

Accompanied by the sound of banging, the boats carried with the ships were put into the water. Each boat was equipped with two soldiers. After they boarded the ship, they waved the paddles without hesitation and tried to slide forward. Fifty small boats were placed on the ten warships. These small boats set up an interception line about a little in front of the warships. If the Chu army's suicide attack boat rushed over from the interception of artillery, they would form a second line of defense.

Li Quan stared at the river nervously. The wind was strong on the river. The gun smoke from the cannon would be blown away by the river wind as soon as it rose. This allowed him to clearly see the battle situation on the river. Because of the wind down the river, these suicide attack boats from the other party came very quickly, so fast that his cannon could not adjust the shooting angle in time.

At least half of the fishing boats on the river have been destroyed by artillery, but dozens of ships still broke through the fire net and mixed with dozens of intercepted ships. Han soldiers jumped up from the small boat, straightened their swords toward the approaching Chu boat, and fought against the enemies on the boat.

At this time, dozens of large Chu army warships appeared behind these small boats, and the throwing arms of the trenchers installed on them were clearly visible. Li Quanke knew that what the thing was throwing now was definitely not a stone bullet, but an explosive pack that ignited the fuse. If they were hit, it would be enough to drink a pot.

"Send a signal to the troop transport ships behind, and launch the lifeboats on all ships into the water to form a third line of defense to prevent these suicide boats from attacking the troop transport ships."

"The warships move forward, fight against the main fleet of the Chu army, open fire, open fire!" Li Quan shouted.

A loud explosion came faintly from a distance. Above the Diao Dou, the flag-speaking soldier shouted loudly: "Commander, the left wing No. 8 warship was hit by the opponent's suicide attack, the port side was damaged, the cabin was infiltrated, and the hull was tilted."

"Tell them to carry out combat damage control immediately, and the ship continues to move forward. Unless it sinks, you are not allowed to retreat and open fire!" Li Quan roared.

The artillery of the warships sprayed shells to the Chu army ships farther away, and not far away, countless small boats were still entangled, and violent explosions came from time to time.

Hundreds of small boats were put down from the troop transport ship. As soon as these small boats entered the water, they rowed forward desperately without hesitation. Each boat had two oarsmen and two Marines. The addition of these small boats made the battle between the small boats fighting on the river quickly decide the outcome. From time to time, desperate Chu sailors detonated explosives and died with the Han ships attacking them. Every time they exploded, several lives disappeared on the river.
