Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 656: Suppression

“Enemy attack, enemy attack.��

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

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

Before the second alliance meeting in Lucheng, they had been on high alert and stared across the river.

But after the alliance, they relaxed a little.

In their view, facing the powerful Yan Alliance, the King of Yan could only passively defend and could not take the initiative to launch an attack.

Next, we only need to wait for the various armies 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 launch an attack this morning.

"Aim at the warships in the river and hit me hard." A Qi State artillery team pointed forward and shouted loudly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a shell tore through the air, accompanied by a scream, and hit him.

Blood and flesh splattered, and the artillery team died suddenly and tragically, without even screaming.

At the same time, artillery shells fell like raindrops on other forts.

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

The soldier who was loading ammunition was hit by a cannonball in the face, half of his face was torn off, and his flesh and blood were bloody.

There were constant screams from the fort.

Before some artillerymen could even run out of the camp, the entire camp was hit by blazing shells fired by the warships and burst into flames.

The soldiers turned into burning men and howled miserably.

Twelve battleships, with forty-two guns on each side, adding up to nearly five hundred guns.

However, Qi State built only 160 forts at the ferry.

Under the bombardment of the battleship's powerful artillery, the artillerymen of Qi were beaten so hard that they could not even lift their heads.

There were also a few forts that suffered huge casualties and bombarded the river.

But the power of their artillery was small. Two or three shells hit the battleship. To the battleship, it was just like scratching an itch, just splashing some sawdust.

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

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

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

In every captain's telescope, there are images of flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Under the suppression of battleship gunfire, Qi's fort quickly fell into chaos.

At the same time, the battleship held back the hatred and allowed a small number of Qi forts to fire cannonballs 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 three hundred meters away from the other side.

During the artillery battle, they reached the shore in less than a quarter of an hour, and a wooden plank tilted from the deck of the troop carrier to the ground.

At this time, soldiers wearing new military uniforms, carrying muskets on their backs and grenades hanging on their waists, quickly got off the troop ship.

After landing, they did not immediately attack Wubao not far away.

Instead, they formed a group of three, formed a skirmish line, and moved toward the fort that was still firing back.

Arriving at a position thirty meters away from the fort, the soldier untied the grenade from his waist, pulled the match rope, and threw it directly.

With a "boom", a burst of fire broke out from the fort. Remembering several screams, the fort suddenly became quiet.

Under the attack of the first ship and 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, thirty troop transport ships docked one after another, and a large number of Yanzhou soldiers boarded the south bank of the Jin River.

Under the general's order, they did not form a tight formation, but all formed a skirmish line to surround Wubao, which was only one kilometer away from the ferry.

This was naturally done to reduce casualties during the shelling. After all, in addition to the forts scattered along the river bank, the temporary dock built by the Qi State was also dotted with artillery.

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

The front line of the ferry is mainly occupied by Qi artillery.

At this moment, it seemed that the fort had fallen too quickly, and the Qi soldiers in the fort seemed to have no intention of coming to support them.

Or maybe they were frightened by the sudden attack.

"Hey, the general is thoughtful. If the fort is built closer, crossing the river will be a bit troublesome this time." Lu Chang said.

He boarded the river bank with the first troop transport.

During the confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Qi once wanted to build Wubao only three hundred meters away from the river.

Discovering this, Chang Wei ordered them to shell the Wubao direction every day.

Due to their long range and powerful artillery, Qi craftsmen were unable to build docks under frequent shelling.

After all, the fort was low, so they had no good solution, but the wall of Wubao was getting higher and higher, so it naturally became their best target.

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

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

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

At this moment, facing the Yanzhou soldiers who were constantly landing on the south bank, the Qi generals on Wubao could only panic.

Their artillery only had a range of 800 meters and was unable to bombard the Yanzhou soldiers on the shore.

As long as the Yanzhou soldiers came ashore, they would move forward in a circuitous way along both sides.

The most important thing is that they walked sparsely, and hitting them with artillery was like throwing sand into a fishing net, unable to hold a few people at all.

Now, they can only watch as Yanzhou soldiers land calmly.

"Crazy, crazy, King Yan must be crazy, why does he want to go south now."

On the wall of the fortress, a general of Qi State had a sullen look on his face.

Although it was already spring and March, the weather was still cold.

But the general's forehead was now covered with beads of sweat, and he was obviously frightened by the scene in front of him.

The soldiers of Yanzhou destroyed the 160 artillery batteries distributed on the river bank like a whirlwind.

What they had been busy with for half a year was useless.

Now, densely packed Yanzhou soldiers were coming to the fortress, and they were about to surround it.

"Rescue! Ask for help from the other two fortresses, seeing that the fortress where you are is about to be surrounded." The general thought of something and shouted immediately.

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

It was because of this that he was sent to guard the south bank of the ferry.

If he faced another powerful army, he believed that he could definitely deal with it calmly, or even repel them.

After all, there were 30,000 Qi soldiers stationed in the Wubao where he was, and there were 200 artillery pieces on the wall.

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

Looking down from a high place, it was really a rain of bullets flying towards the shore.

Moreover, what kind of tactics did they use to spread the soldiers so far apart?

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

But he knew that the generals of Yanzhou were more capable than each other, and they would never make stupid mistakes.

This loose formation must be a trap.
