Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 649

[Chapter 649 Suppression]

“Enemy attack, enemy attack.” The

quiet morning was broken by the roar of artillery, and the soldiers of Qi State woke up from their sleep.

Shouting, they ran out of the barracks and into the fort.

Before the second alliance in Lucheng, they kept a high level of vigilance, staring at the other side of the river.

But after the alliance, they relaxed a bit.

In their view, in the face of the powerful alliance against Yan, King Yan could only defend passively, and could not take the initiative to attack.

Next, just wait for the armies from all walks of life to arrive in Qi State and launch an attack on Yanzhou.

But they did not expect that King Yan’s army across the river would suddenly attack this morning.

“Aim at the battleship in the river and hit me hard.” A Qi artillery team was pointing forward and shouted loudly.

But as soon as he finished his words, a shell tore through the air and hit him with a scream.

Flesh and blood splattered, and the artillery team died tragically without even screaming.

At the same time, shells rained down on other forts.

The Qi soldiers who were carrying the shells were shot, their arms were torn off, and they squatted on the ground crying.

The soldiers who were filling the ammunition were grazed by the shells, and half of their faces were torn off, bloody and bloody.

There were continuous screams from the fort.

Before some artillerymen could run out of the camp, the whole camp was hit by the fiery bullets fired by the battleship and caught fire.

The soldier turned into a man of fire, howling.

Twelve warships, with forty-two cannons on each side, add up to nearly five hundred.

And Qi State built only 160 forts at the ferry.

Under the bombardment of the battleship’s powerful artillery, the artillerymen of the Qi State were beaten so badly that they couldn’t hold their heads up.

There are also a small number of forts that suffered huge casualties and bombarded the river.

But the power of their artillery is small, two or three shells hitting the battleship, to the battleship, it is just like scratching an itch, just splashing some sawdust.

Furthermore, since the fleet’s ammunition was all yellow gunpowder this time, the power of the naval guns was doubled, and the shells that flew out were even more violent.

A shell hit the stone wall of the fort head-on, and the stone wall collapsed instantly.

Under the bombardment of such shells, the soldiers of Qi State were naturally extremely miserable.

In each captain’s telescope, there is a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Under the suppression of the battleship’s artillery fire, Qi’s fort quickly fell into chaos.

At the same time, the battleship held back the hatred and let a small number of Qi country forts shoot shells at them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the warship moved forward at full speed.

Originally, they stopped in the middle of the river, only about 300 meters away from the opposite bank.

They reached shore in less than a quarter of an hour during the artillery battle, a plank sloping from the deck of the troop carrier to the ground.

At this moment, soldiers in new-style military uniforms, muskets on their backs, and grenades hanging from their waists, quickly disembarked from the troop carrier.

When they landed, they did not immediately attack Wubao not far away.

Instead, a group of three formed a skirmish line, touching the fort that was still fighting back.

Arriving at a position 30 meters away from the fort, the soldier untied the grenade on his waist, pulled the matchlock, and threw it directly.

With a “boom”, the fort burst into flames. Thinking of several screams, the fort suddenly fell silent.

Under the attack of the first ship, five hundred soldiers, the remaining forts were cleared one by one.

In less than half an hour, all the forts were silent.

At the same time, 30 troop carriers docked one after another, and a large number of soldiers from Yanzhou landed on the south bank of the Jin River.

Under the general’s order, they did not line up in a tight formation, but formed a skirmish line and surrounded Wubao, which was only a kilometer away from the ferry.

Naturally, this was done to reduce the casualties in the shelling. After all, in addition to the forts all over the river bank, the temporary dock built by Qi State was also covered with artillery.

At the same time, the Qi soldiers on the south bank were mainly concentrated in Wubao.

The front of the ferry is mainly Qi artillery.

At this moment, it seems that the fort fell too fast, and the Qi soldiers in Wubao seemed to have no intention of coming to support.

Or, they were frightened silly by the sudden attack.

“Hey, the general is still thoughtful. If the Wubao is built closer, it will be a bit troublesome to cross the river this time.” Lu Chang said.

He boarded the river bank with the first troop carrier.

During the confrontation between the two sides of the strait, Qi State once wanted to build Wubao at a position only 300 meters away from the river.

Discovering this, Chang Wei ordered them to bombard Wubao every day.

Due to their long range and full power, Qi craftsmen could not build Wubao under frequent shelling.

After all, the fort was low, and they didn’t have any good solutions, but the walls of Wubao were built higher and higher, which naturally became their best target.

As long as they raise the walls, their artillery can knock them down.

Unable to bear the disturbance, Qi State had no choice but to move the location of Wubao to about a thousand meters.

Seeing that the Wubao at this distance would not affect the attack when going south, they stopped shelling.

At this moment, in the face of Yanzhou soldiers who kept boarding the south bank, the Qi generals on Wubao could only act in a hurry.

Their artillery only had a range of 800 meters, so they couldn’t bombard the Yanzhou soldiers on the shore.

As long as Yanzhou soldiers landed, they would move forward along the two sides.

The most important thing is that they walked sparsely, and hitting them with artillery was like throwing sand into a fishing net, and they couldn’t hug a few people at all.

Now, they can only watch Yanzhou soldiers land calmly.

“Crazy, crazy, King Yan must be crazy, why is he going south now.” On

the wall of Wubao, a general of the Qi State looked livid.

Although it has entered spring and it is March, the weather is still cold at this time.

But the general’s forehead is now full of beads of sweat, obviously terrified by the scene in front of him.

Yanzhou soldiers destroyed one hundred and sixty forts scattered on the river bank.

What they have been busy with for half a year is useless.

Now, densely packed Yanzhou soldiers are coming to Wubao, and they seem to surround Wubao.

“Rescue! Ask for help from the other two Wubao, seeing that the Wubao where I am is about to be surrounded.” The general shouted immediately when he thought of something.

Among the generals of Qi State, he is also one of the best.

Because of this, he was sent to guard the south bank of the ferry.

If he was facing another powerful army, he believed that he would be able to deal with it calmly and even repel them.

After all, 30,000 Qi soldiers were stationed in the five forts where he was located, and there were 200 artillery pieces on the walls.

But the Yanzhou soldiers’ attack was too unreasonable, and the huge warships in the Jin River were a thousand times more terrifying than their forts.

Looking down from a height, it is really a round of bullets flying towards the shore.

Furthermore, what kind of tactics did they use to disperse the soldiers like this?

If it was a stupid general, he would be ecstatic at this moment, and send soldiers out of the city to shoot and kill these Yanzhou soldiers in a line formation.

But he knew that Yanzhou’s generals were better than each other, and they would never make stupid mistakes.

This loose formation must be a trap.
