Chapter 767: No one cares, only Pang Lei is punished
The battle upstream was particularly fierce. There were small boats between the large ships of the two armies, and many wreckages of large ships were washed down, hindering the march of the Chu army's large ships.
They couldn't get close, which gave the Yan army's large ships an opportunity. The range of artillery and catapults was simply incomparable.
The Yan army stayed where they were and attacked the enemy.
Although they did not drop anchor and were swept downstream by the current, the speed was not fast. Even if they were rushed downstream, they would only meet up with the central army.
A great advantage has been gained on the upstream battlefield, and it is only a matter of time before the enemy is defeated.
Downstream, the fighting was also fierce.
The mission of the Third Fleet was not to fight as the main fleet, but to stop the Yan army from escaping downstream.
So Zhou Yun's order to them was to drop anchor downstream, consolidate the defense line, and block the Yan army.
This is also correct. Once the Yan army is defeated, there will definitely be few warships left. At that time, there will be little point in returning to the shipyard. They will definitely retreat downstream. The purpose of the Third Fleet is to block these severe ships and cooperate with the two armies upstream to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Yan army.
But the basis of all this is based on the fact that the Chu army can defeat the Yan army.
It can be seen that Zhou Yun is arrogant and self-willed. He thinks he can definitely defeat the Yan army, so he foolishly
Now, whether in the upper or middle reaches, the Chu army suffered heavy losses and had no hope of defeating the Yan army.
The Chu troops stationed downstream became sitting ducks.
As we all know, it is difficult to drop anchor on a large ship, and even more difficult to raise the anchor. It requires many people to work together to turn the hinge to pull up the anchor.
When the Yan army arrived, the general was shocked to see through the telescope that the Chu army had actually run away.
Is there such a good thing?
Isn't this a sitting duck?
He immediately ordered the Yan army to line up in a row, aim at those living targets and start attacking.
I have never fought such a favorable battle in my life. The enemy warships are so coordinated that they are waiting to be beaten without moving.
What’s the difference between this and military merit gained for free?
The general of the Yan army was so happy that he shouted and fired his cannons repeatedly.
The cannons on the side of the warships roared at the enemy warships. The enemy faced them sideways and used their own wooden boards to test the power and accuracy of the cannons for the Yan army.
The general of the Chu army shouted to raise the anchor, but it was too late. The Yan army's artillery shells fell on their warships like raindrops. After a few rounds, most of their warships were sunk.
With obvious advantages upstream and downstream, it is only a matter of time before the Yan army achieves complete victory.
As for the central army, the fighting was the most intense.
The central army was commanded by Zhou Yun himself. The front army suffered heavy losses. The angry Zhou Yun sent out all the warships to fight the Yan army.
He even sent his own flagship to fight a bloody battle with the enemy.
Li Qun, a fierce general of the Chu navy, said loudly,
"General, I request to send a small boat to the enemy's flagship to open a breakthrough for our army and personally kill that bastard Pang Lei!"
"Go ahead and be careful!"
Zhou Yun agreed immediately.
Now, he has even put himself on the line, let alone the powerful generals under his command?
Li Qun, a burly man holding a thick spear, first walked into the interior of the flagship, took out a hanging banner, came out, jumped onto a small boat, and shouted,
"Don't worry about anything else, just charge forward and head straight for the enemy flagship!"
Rowed by several soldiers, the boat quickly moved forward like an arrow.
The small boat was extremely agile in dodging the arrows and artillery fire of the Yan army.
Li Qun stood proudly on the bow, holding a spear in his right hand and inserting a hanging banner on the bow with his left hand.
I saw those big words written on the hanging banner.
"I won't ask about others, I will only punish Pang Lei!"
This shows his determination to kill Pang Lei.
Rushing into the Yan army's small boat, Li Qun waved his sword left and right, chopping the Yan soldiers off the boat one by one, as if he was in an empty space.
On the flagship, someone saw a small boat breaking through their formation and heading towards this side quickly, and hurriedly said to Pang Lei,
"Marshal, Marshal, look, who is that? He's walking around like an empty space amidst the huge army!"
Pang Lei turned his head and said with a smile,
"Oh? There is indeed an enemy general charging towards us, and he is so brave. Whose general is he?"
Then, he looked through the telescope again, his expression changed drastically,
"Oh no, it's Li Qun! Quickly fire your cannons and arrows! We can't let him get close!"
The messenger immediately went forward to deliver the message.
A general from the Yan clan asked,
"Marshal, who is this Li Qun? How could he possibly scare you so much?"
"Zhang Qian, you don't understand. This man is the most powerful general in the Chu navy, known as a match for ten thousand men. He is extremely brave and has a grudge against me. He wanted to kill me before, but was unable to do so because of his colleagues.
Now that I've defected to the Yan army, he must hate me even more and want to kill me."
"I see. I'd like to test his strength."
This Yan general Zhang Qian also came from a conquest order. Although his ranking was not high, he had a high opinion of himself and thought that his talent was not being used.
After all, in his third battle, the opponent he met was Su Wuan.
He was eliminated directly.
So he has been longing for the opportunity to prove himself.
The Yan army's artillery fired fiercely at the small boat, but the boat was too fast and could not hit it at all.
The Yan army on other large ships attacked again with arrows. The soldiers on the small boats were soon killed or wounded, and the boats were also full of arrows. However, Li Qun relied on his heavy armor, lowered his head and resisted the arrows, thus dodging some of them.
The small boat rushed forward due to inertia, and a small boat of the Yan army was blocking in front of it, trying to block Li Qun's boat.
Li Qun let his boat crash into the small boat, and then swept the spear in his hand fiercely, sweeping all the soldiers on the Yan army's small boat off.
Then he suddenly pointed the spear in his hand at the Yan army boat, and his own boat used the force to rush forward.
He approached the Yan army's large ship, and used his spear to poke the Yan army's ship all the way, moving forward.
Soon, he arrived in front of the flagship.
The bow of the Yan army's flagship was facing him. Li Qun pulled up the flagpole, thrust the tip forward, and then suddenly jumped up and grabbed the flagpole. Then, with the force of the flagpole, he seemed to be flying. He grabbed the railing of the bow and with a beautiful front flip, he landed on the Yan army's flagship.
He weighs over 200 kilograms and wears heavy armor! He is still so agile, which shows how powerful his martial arts skills are.
The soldiers on the flagship were shocked and quickly picked up their weapons and surrounded him.
Li Qun stared at Pang Lei and shouted angrily,
"Traitor Pang Lei, grandpa is here to kill you!"
