Chapter 548 Lancang River Water Battle
"Boom... boom boom... boom boom boom..."
The order to start the war was issued, and above the deck of the huge flagship ship, hundreds of demon cow leather war drums continued to make thunderous drums under the beating of Qin soldiers.
The sound of the drums was steady and orderly, dense and not chaotic, and accompanied by the waving of hundreds of Qin army order flags, as if they were issuing Qin army orders.
"Prepare!"
In an instant, the entire imperial fleet of more than 3,500 warships received orders from the flagship.
As the highest commander on each warship, more than 3,500 Qin army captains also issued orders.
I saw that the loading of arrows had already been completed on the deck of each warship, and there were hundreds of Qin Army heavy crossbows and dozens of Hundred War God machine crossbows on display.
As well as a small number of broken spirit bows, the launch angle has been increased, and the launch can be started at any time.
"put!"
Immediately, a rain of arrows from the Qin army that covered the sky and the sun flew out directly from the huge imperial fleet, and flew towards the southern water army, which was now less than seven or eight miles apart.
After the continuous research and modification of the Imperial Mohists and the Gongshuists, after the fusion of some refining materials in the Xuantian Continent, the range of today's imperial crossbows has generally reached the point of ten miles away, and the power has also turned several times. more than double.
Therefore, it is very simple to cover the Southern Region Navy, which is only seven or eight miles away.
"No, all the soldiers immediately returned to the ship to avoid the enemy's arrows."
Feeling that the world suddenly darkened, he was temporarily appointed as the captain of the fleet. General Xie Long, who came from a high-quality dynasty and had extremely rich experience in leading the army, said quickly.
It is a pity that in the Naval Army of the Southern Region, where the command system is aging and backward, the speed of conveying orders is simply not as fast as the flight speed of the Qin Army's arrow formation.
"boom!"
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of arrows were formed, and the Qin army's terrifying arrow formation that covered the sky and the sun directly smashed into the southern water army.
Countless Southern Region navy soldiers were shot into sieves directly under the Qin army's monstrous arrow formation. In this life, there were screams one after another, and there were also many extraordinary innate-level warriors.
What's more, some unfortunate soldiers of the Southern Region Navy were shot by the Qin Army's Hundred War God Machine Crossbow, which was a very special crossbow, and their bodies were directly blown up and shattered into pieces, not even a whole body.
Among the navy in the Southern Region, above the decks of countless warships, there were corpses all over the place, screaming, and wounded soldiers and soldiers in need of treatment were everywhere.
Not only that, after the Qin army's arrow formation fell, countless warships of the southern navy were shot one after another by the terrifying force of the Qin army's crossbow, causing the warships to leak everywhere, and the soldiers on the warships also desperately tried their best. Plug the loopholes.
Even if they barely managed to keep the warships from sinking, a considerable number of the Southern Region navy warships lost their ability to move forward and had to stagnate on the river surface, unable to advance an inch.
This is just fortunate. According to a rough estimate, under the first round of the Qin army's arrow formation, at least hundreds of naval ships in the Southern Region were hit by a considerable number of Hundred War Gods' crossbow arrows in the Qin army's arrow formation.
There were explosions and fire everywhere, and the loopholes were too big to be filled.
In this way, after struggling for a period of time, these hundreds of warships sank powerlessly into the mighty Lancang River.
Among them, the innate powerhouses are not bad, at least they can fly in the sky and come to other warships.
However, the Nanyu navy soldiers and soldiers under the transcendent nature were unlucky and could only thrash in the water for help.
Those who were lucky were rescued directly by the neighboring friendly warships, and those who were unlucky were directly killed by the swordsmen of the Qin army who came later.
"Pass the command of the commander, the arrows will not stop, the Marine Corps and the elite vanguard troops of the Empire will be in their positions, ready to board the enemy ship to fight at any time."
"promise!"
At the forefront of the huge imperial fleet, above the 10,000-ton flagship, Bai Qi, the chief general of the Daqin Second Expeditionary Army, issued an order while observing the situation.
Following Bai Qi's order, round after round of Qin army arrow formations continued to leave the imperial fleet and flew into the southern water army, causing huge casualties and causing more and more southern waters The warship sank into the river.
"You bastard, relying on a strong bow and fast arrows, and suppressing our army like this, and suppressing our army so much that we can't lift our heads, the Qin army is simply deceiving people too much."
"I passed the general's order, and the Qin army's fleet has entered the coverage area of our army's bow and crossbow. The bow and crossbow troops will fight back immediately. This general will severely attack the arrogance of the Qin army."
Among the flagships of the Southern Region Navy, looking at the tragic state of his own fleet and the soldiers who continued to die under the Qin army's arrows, Xie Long felt extremely resentful in his heart and directly ordered.
"Yes!"
Hearing the order, a lieutenant next to Xie Long also said loudly, his expression full of joy, and he could finally fight back.
The military order was conveyed, and despite the monstrous rain of arrows from the Qin army, all the heavy bows and crossbows that had been displayed on the ships of the Southern Region navy also launched one after another, attacking the Qin army fleet.
But it is a pity that this round of arrows fired in unison did not achieve the desired effect. On the contrary, most of them were directly blocked by the Qin army's arrow formation in mid-air, and only a few arrows fell into the Qin army ship. In the team, the damage caused is negligible.
Although it did not achieve the expected effect, the 10,000 arrows of the Nanyu Naval Force also blocked a considerable number of arrows in the Qin army's arrow formation, but they also took a few breaths and gave the fleet a close look. Combat earned some ground.
The Daqin Navy and the Southern Region Navy, such two forces, just like this, a water battle broke out on the surface of the Lancang River, which is a hundred miles wide, and started an arrow battle.
"Now the distance between the two armies is less than two miles. The commander of the commander sent the bow and crossbow troops to stop attacking, and the fleet speeded up and directly rammed the enemy fleet."
"All the 180,000 imperial teams are in their positions, ready to board the enemy ship at any time."
Seeing that his own fleet was less than two miles apart from the enemy naval fleet, Bai Qi quickly caught the fighter and ordered it directly.
Similar to the Qin army fleet, Xie Long also ordered to stop the bow and arrow attack when he observed that the two army fleets were getting closer and closer.
Teams of fully-armed southern navy soldiers rushed out of the cabin and poured onto the deck.
At this time, the two fleets, which had just broken the sky just now, actually kept a strange silence like a god.
The two fleets are getting closer and closer, even to the point where the soldiers on one side of the fleet can see the faces of the people on the other side of the fleet.
"It seems that after the war is over, it is time to write a report and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor."
"Imperial Navy, maybe need a supplement of battleships..."
On the flagship of the fleet, watching the imperial fleet and the enemy fleet getting closer and closer, Bismarck, who was beside Bai Qi, flashed his eyes, making his own plans in his heart.
