Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The moon was dark and the wind was strong. With the arrival of late autumn, the water on the Yan River had already become bitingly cold.

In the distance, the Daqian Navy, which had sailed upstream from the Wujia Port into the territory of the Yan Dynasty, had already sent a group of people to come up from downstream.

Chenpi rode a fast horse and marched thirty miles downstream to meet them.

"Are the troops ready?"

"Six hundred sailors, all equipped with underwater equipment."

The soldier guarding here immediately stepped forward to report.

Chenpi waved his hand, and immediately more than a dozen speedboats began to hum under the power of steam engines and headed upstream.

After suffering a loss last time, Chenpi specially installed a layer of spikes under the ship to prevent it from being sunk.

This was originally the configuration they installed on their tanks.

Later, after the craftsmen in the workshop tried it, they found that this weapon could also be used as a means of attack when placed on a ship.

So a group of them were assigned to Daqian’s navy.

However, during the development of the route, the Daqian Navy used firearms to sweep almost all areas along the way, so there was no need for this thing.

But I didn’t expect that it would be used on Yanjiang River today.

buzzing...

The steam engine on the ship slowly emitted white smoke, urging the Daqian Navy to quickly approach Yan Wujiang's troops.

Yan Wujiang, who had received the news early, had already boarded the deck.

Looking at the ship approaching from a distance, he snorted coldly:

"Fire the artillery!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of people hurriedly lifted the cannons out of the various ships and transported them to the side facing the downstream area through dense iron chains.

"Ready...fire!"

The rumbling sound was deafening, and hundreds of artillery pieces almost covered Chen Pi and others.

However, the strength of Daqian's warships was far beyond their imagination.

After experiencing a round of intensive long-range bombing, Chen Pi and others simply hid on the deck under the ship and did not suffer any harm. Only the ship was slightly damaged.

Seeing this, Chenpi immediately made a record.

"It's not as powerful as nitrate explosives. The Yan Dynasty's arsenal hasn't made any significant breakthroughs."

"Keep getting closer, start setting fire, and force their special forces out!"

The order Chen Pi received today was to try to contact the other side's special forces.

So after giving this order, he picked up a set of water equipment next to him and put it on.

Bang bang bang!

The loud explosion was heard again.

Yan Wujiang's side was facing a row of fleets downstream which were instantly hit hard.

The explosives between the two sides are fundamentally different.

Ever since Qin Ming developed nitrate explosives, he would often add some of them to the local workshops when making weapons and equipment.

The explosion effect is pleasant.

"Asshole...suppressive fire!"

Yan Wujiang knew that Qin Ming was difficult to deal with, but this ship, which was as strong as an ironclad ship, was really beyond his expectations.

In just a dozen or so breaths, many ships could not bear it and disintegrated.

Yan Wujiang felt fortunate at this moment because the ships surrounding the outermost circle were all merchant caravans and would not cause any damage.

As for the ships of these merchant caravans, he had requisitioned them early on in order to use them as cannon fodder to resist Qin Ming's troops.

"Keep filling it up!"

Without any pause, Yan Wujiang continued to give orders.

At this time, even their less powerful artillery had already smashed many holes in Chenpi's ship.

The river water began to gradually flow into the cabin.

Just at this moment, the exploded caravan cannon fodder ship was blown to pieces and directly blocked the shipping channel of Yanjiang River, blocking the way forward for Chenpi and others.

"Blast it hard for me!"

Yan Wujiang laughed heartily. This was one of his strategies.

It doesn't matter how much damage the merchant caravan's ships suffer, as long as they can create favorable conditions for themselves. The Daqian Navy that catches up from downstream will become a sitting duck and can only bombard themselves from a long distance.

But Yan Wujiang not only has hundreds of merchant ships as shields, but also a huge army and weapons and ammunition.

Qin Ming's troops coming up from downstream could only move up little by little.

Yan Wujiang, who had the advantage of time and place, didn't know how he would lose.

Faced with such a predicament, Chen Pi also realized how well prepared Yan Wujiang was.

It may be difficult for them to find the enemy's special forces in a short period of time.

"General, we can't get through!"

The panicked voices of his subordinates kept disturbing Chenpi's thoughts.

The river was rushing, constantly washing the boat. Chen Pi, who was standing on the deck, didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this moment.

A loud shout suddenly came from the high slope on the east bank.

"I'm here to help you!"

A violent explosion was heard, and the entire mountain was lit up as if it were daytime.

Chen Pi turned around in surprise and found that it was Chang Baishan who was carrying a cannon, climbed to the top of the mountain and followed him here.

There were only two men in the army who could carry a cannon and withstand the recoil to participate normally in the war.

One is Qin Ming and the other is Chang Baishan.

"Brother Chang..."

"Stop chatting and get on up!"

Chang Baishan immediately waved his hand and fired three more shots in succession.

The enormous force of the cannon almost penetrated the wreckage of the ships, and after hitting them, everything that blocked the waterway was shattered and floated downstream.

Chen Pi's troops were greatly encouraged.

"Your Majesty has truly planned everything out. Brothers, follow me!"

When Qin Ming heard that the troops sent by Chen Pi were attacked, he had already thought that Yan Wujiang's arrangements might be extremely meticulous.

It is very likely that this attack will result in the same situation as before where ships were sunk.

In that case, he arranged more people to start the battle!

Therefore, Chang Baishan was arranged to wait on the coast with a cannon.

At the same time, all the docks along the east coast for several miles were lit up with flames!

"It's your Majesty!"

All the troops around Chen Pi screamed in surprise.

Qin Ming appeared on the hillside on the east bank, and beside him were hundreds of soldiers holding howitzers.

"Qin Ming!"

The moment he saw Qin Ming appear, Yan Wujiang's voice was suddenly filled with resentment.

"Yan Wujiang, you really don't know what burning Red Cliff means."

Qin Ming slowly shook his head, looked at the battlefield, and waved to the troops behind him.

Putting iron chains across the river was a good strategy. This section of the Yanjiang River was surrounded by high slopes on both sides, which was enough for them to move forward on their boats as if they were walking on flat ground.

But such a deployment is most afraid of fire attack.

Qin Ming called several officers in the army who were responsible for weather surveying early in the morning and asked them to make an estimate.

But they said that the wind is not likely to blow here.

If he insisted on waiting, it might take a long time, so Qin Ming decided not to continue waiting like this.

Although there was no wind here recently to help them fan the fire, Qin Ming still ordered a fire attack!

If fire attack cannot be assisted by the power of wind, then set more fire!

"put!"

As Qin Ming spoke lightly.

Hundreds of grenades with incendiary effects were quickly sent out and hit Yan Wujiang's fleet hard!

Yan Wujiang's breathing suddenly stopped!
