"Shut hard!"
"Quick! Don't save your strength, use all your strength!"
"Knock the drums, quick, hit hard!"
The chaotic situation on the river and on the bank has made it impossible for Xiong Gang to give orders to the Chu army, so he can only use the sound of drums to direct the battle.
In fact, there are no other orders, just bury your head and rush to the shore!
These drumbeats were less an order than an encouragement.
When the soldiers of the Chu army heard the sound of the drums, they knew that their commander was still around, and they could have higher morale!
"Come on!"
"kill!"
"Stop them and drive them down the river!"
"This way! This way can't be stopped, come here quickly!"
"Lieutenant, there are too many people in the Chu army! Let's withdraw first!"
"No! Support will arrive soon, tell the soldiers to persevere!"
The generals of the Qi army tried their best to maintain the formation of the Qi army, and insisted on blocking the Chu army from going ashore on the river bank.
But the number of the Chu army was too large, and their losses were far greater than that of the Qi army, but their morale was even higher. They continuously jumped over the corpses of their comrades and launched an attack on the Qi army.
Xiong Gang's flagship also came up from the rear, and the water ghosts of the Chu army had already entered the water one after another to clear the stake traps at the bottom of the river, at least to clear a safe waterway for the warships.
I saw that the Chu army had pushed the battlefield to a place tens of meters away from the river bank.
If you persist for a while, the Qi army will surely fall.
After all, the Qi army in the two water villages combined is only 3,000 people, and it will take some time for the reinforcements on the road to arrive.
The water army on the river has discovered the actions of the Chu army and is rushing forward. The water army sails on the big river, and the support speed is faster than the infantry on the ground, but they must be wary of the Chu army's water army.
The water army of Chu State got the news earlier than the water army of Qi State, and had already made preparations to deal with Qi State's water army.
As soon as the Qi State water army moved, the Chu State water army had set off one step earlier and intercepted the Qi State water army.
Therefore, although the Qi State navy is closer to the battlefield, it may arrive later than the Qi State infantry.
If Qi's reinforcements do not arrive within an hour, the river bank will surely fall!
Xiong Gang saw the weakness of the Qi army, and ordered to intensify the attack. Even if huge casualties would be caused in a short period of time, the Qi army should be pushed 100 meters from the river bank.
At that time, all the Chu troops will be able to go ashore. Xiong Gang also commanded the flagship to stop on the river less than ten meters away from the river bank, and took a small boat to the river bank. His role on the water is limited, but on the ground, his force is still very strong .
As the vanguard general of the Chu army, there is no shortage of courage to fight and rush on the battlefield!
As soon as Xiong joined the battlefield, the Chu army's offensive became more violent, and the Qi army began to retreat steadily!
In fact, they have no way to retreat, they have lost control of the river bank, and if they continue to hold on, they will not be able to change the situation, but will only increase casualties.
But the Qi army had no intention of fleeing, and they couldn't escape either.
There is still a ray of life in a deadly battle, and running away is nothing but death.
Unless surrender!
But there are only Qi troops who died in battle, not Qi troops who surrendered.
If it was changed to the Qi army in the hinterland of the Qi country, it is still possible to surrender, and it is impossible for the Qi army that has guarded the river for several years or even more than ten years to surrender.
Xiong Gang also knew that the Qi army would not surrender easily, so he didn't even give the order to take the prisoners.
The soldiers of the Chu army naturally did not think about accepting the surrender of the Qi army.
At the end of the battle, all 2,400 Qi soldiers died on the north bank of the river!
The Qi army who stayed at the two water villages immediately abandoned the water villages and retreated to the rear after learning the news.
"My lord, do we really want to give up on the water village? What if the higher authorities investigate..."
"Needless to say, if the higher-ups pursue it, I will take the responsibility, at worst my head will be taken away!"
"My lord, that's not what I mean by being humble. My lord wants to save the lives of my brothers. If the higher-ups want to investigate, the brothers in Shuizhai are willing to bear it together with my lord.
It's just that we give up the water village, and the next battle will be difficult for us. "
"Then what can we do? In the current situation, it doesn't make much sense whether a few hundred of us stay or leave. Can we stop the Chu army's attack by staying?"
"cannot."
"Yeah, we are powerless to change the situation of the battle, we can only find a way in the next battle."
The defeat in the first battle especially allowed Chu’s vanguard army to occupy a stable ferry on the north bank of the Dahe River. The main force of the Chu army on the south bank can cross the river at any time. Three hundred thousand Chu troops. Qi State must prepare at least a considerable number of troops to block the Chu army. .
Taking into account the difference in combat effectiveness between the two armies and the scope of the battlefield, the Qi army would have to deploy at least 250,000 troops to block the Chu army in Changling County.
But now how many people have the Qi army gathered to deal with the Chu army?
Less than 150,000.
Does Qi have more troops?
have!
But it takes time.
The land of Zhongzhou is extremely vast, and Qi, one of the three overlords alone, has a land of more than 10 million square kilometers with a population of nearly 10 million.
Although no one in Zhongzhou except Yang Yuan knows what a square kilometer means.
A state of Qi is larger than the country with the largest land area in Yang Yuan's previous life.
And Qi is the smallest country among the three overlords.
Thinking about the largest state of Chu, the people of Chu really feel exhausted and flustered.
It takes several months to go out to visit relatives, unless it is a big family with transportation at home, such as cattle, horses...
The Qi State gathered a lot of elites outside the capital city. At this time, those troops had left the capital city and went south to Changling.
But walking takes time, and it is impossible for them to fly to Changling.
Chu State moved faster than Qi State thought.
A total of 600 Qi troops from the two water villages retreated to the rear. When the Chu army arrived at the water village, there was no one there.
The focus of the defense of the water village is the water surface, and it is not very difficult to attack the water village on land, so the Qi army did not destroy the water village after they left.
Qi Jun also thought about retaking these two water villages in the future.
It's just that after the loss of these two water villages, the Qi State's navy lost two stable supply points on the big river, and the balance of the war was slightly tilted towards Chu State.
As soon as Xiong came to the water village upstream, he immediately sent a battle report to the commander of the Chu army on the south bank. He had already crossed the big river and seized the ferry for the army to cross the river.
Perfect!
With this credit, his name, Xiong Gang, is on the credit book for this war!
And it's a very front position.
…
Leaving aside the reaction of the Qi army after the Chu army crossed the river, the Divine Guard army in Shunguo began to show even greater edge under Yang Yuan's order!
The four counties in the Northeast, no, to be more precise, the two counties in the Northeast, Cangyang County and Cangwu County, exploded with strength that shocked the surrounding counties.
"One hundred thousand troops?"
"Still all elite?"
"You're sure you're not joking!"
"Joke? Who is joking with you at this time!"
"Stop talking nonsense here, I've figured it out, it's not a hundred thousand!"
"Let me just say it! How could there be one hundred thousand elites? How many elites do you have in the five or six counties around you and me? A mere rebel army occupies four counties, but the time is still short. How can there be one hundred thousand elites?" Elite!"
"It is indeed not one hundred thousand elites, but one hundred and fifty thousand!"
"What?"
"Are you crazy?"
"real or fake?"
An even more shocking news spread throughout the surrounding counties in an instant.
The rebels are going to overthrow the sky this time!
