Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The rustling sounds as the crowd moved did not attract much attention.

The troops that had just arrived at the hillside in the morning were still stationed there according to the original plan and were unwilling to move an inch.

In their opinion, Qin Ming’s focus in the near future should be on the downstream river and the river area outside Xingjia Pass.

The upstream is not the focus. Even if we want to attack, we have to go to some important docks upstream.

These docks were heavily guarded by Yan Wujiang in advance.

The strategy of merchant ships surrounding military warships is still adopted.

Qin Ming's main force was in the downstream and it was impossible for it to cross the Xingjiaguan River basin and come upstream to damage merchant ships.

This plan is indeed perfect.

But it was only for dealing with conventional warfare. They were facing Qin Ming, a madman who liked to use all his firepower to blow up mountains!

"Do it!"

As Chen Pi's troops got closer and closer to the garrisoned Yan army, Chen Pi waved his hand and led his men to rush forward with weapons in hand.

In just the moment of contact, hundreds of Yan soldiers who had no time to react were killed by the Daqian troops!

Then the weapons were drawn and a fierce battle began!

Amidst the flash of swords and the shadow of sabers, Chen Pi, escorted by his personal guards, arrived at the watchtower and quickly killed several soldiers who wanted to light the beacon fire, cutting off their chance to pass on the message!

The hand-to-hand combat lasted for half an hour until all the troops on the high slope were killed and the weapons depot on the reverse slope was also captured.

At this time, Chenpi found an open space and waved to Qin Ming in the distance.

Qin Ming gestured to him, asking him to destroy the gunpowder in the Yan army's warehouse before evacuating.

Chenpi nodded and took out a fire starter from his arms.

"Retreat, brothers!"

"okay!"

After looting equipment and silver, the Daqian troops began to rush towards the river.

Zhao San stood aside, his heart already filled with ripples.

He witnessed the strength of the Daqian army with his own eyes.

It is said that this is just the conventional naval force.

If it were a land force, or the legendary Fenglinhuoshan force, it might be even stronger.

Ding Ding Deng!

On the leafy slopes of the west bank, hundreds of Daqian soldiers began to rush down.

Chenpi, who was left at the end, calculated the time, turned around and strode forward to catch up.

Before starting, he flicked the fire starter into a graceful arc with his fingers.

"It's on fire! Everyone, pay attention!"

Hearing this, no one responded, but just ran faster.

boom!

The warehouse on the reverse slope exploded.

Countless pieces of rubble rolled down from the high slope.

Zhao San had been waiting on the shore, and he and several water ghosts dragged the retreating soldiers into the river.

As the sound of the warehouse explosion spread farther and farther, many troops stationed nearby also discovered the situation.

"Go support!"

Their men quickly began to move.

But at this time, Chen Pi and Zhao San had already led their men back to the east coast.

As soon as he got ashore, Zhao San said to Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, I just saw these locations, they are all good and can be detonated!"

Hearing this, Qin Ming immediately waved.

Several craftsmen lit the fuse and detonated all the nitro explosives that had been buried on the scene.

"You've done a great job. The rubble from the mountain is enough to help us fill the river."

Qin Ming patted Chen Pi's shoulder.

The two stood together on the east bank and watched the mountains and the earth collapsing in front of them.

Soon, the water level in the front of the river was raised and a deep pit was blown out in the back. When the water flowed from top to bottom, it not only formed a height difference, but also formed turbulence and whirlpools due to the rapid speed of the water.

Ordinary merchant ships have been unable to continue sailing recently.

Zila...

Qin Ming pulled the ring and blood-red fireworks shot into the sky.

Walking along the east bank of Jiaguan, Changbai Mountain had already formed its battle array there.

Yan Wujiang's troops were facing a formidable enemy, and the two sides were in a constant standoff.

At the moment when the fireworks shot up into the sky, Chang Baishan roared and said to the large army:

"set fire!"

"Yes!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless cannons loaded with incendiary bombs were quickly fired at the merchant ships outside Yan Wujiang's fleet.

Flames leaped up, and countless Yan soldiers abandoned the merchant ships and retreated to the rear.

A disdainful smile appeared on Yan Wujiang's face.

"Are these the only methods? This is ridiculous!"

Yan Wujiang had already calculated the methods Qin Ming might use and had made preparations in all aspects.

It is no exaggeration to say that the combination of Xingjiaguan and Yanjiang makes this battlefield impregnable!

Even if Qin Ming is given another hundred years, he will not be able to break through!

"Your Highness!"

Just when Yan Wujiang was feeling proud, Fei Yuanheng suddenly rushed up from behind.

He originally wanted to open his mouth and shout something, but looking at the troops around him who were on high alert, he approached Yan Wujiang and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What!?"

The moment he heard these words, Yan Wujiang's face was filled with anger.

“What are they eating!!”

The surrounding soldiers all pricked up their ears at this moment.

They were all very curious about what had happened.

Seeing Yan Wujiang losing his composure, Fei Yuanheng quickly grabbed him and said:

"Your Highness, now that things have come to this, let's think about what to do first."

Yan Wujiang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then turned to look at the generals around him and gave orders.

"First, gather all the ships you can and have them remove the chains. Quick!"

"Yes!"

Although no one knew what had happened, there was already some panic within the Yan army.

The chain-link boat was something they had started preparing early on.

But now he was actively overthrown by Yan Wujiang.

A bad thought arose in everyone's mind.

The artillery fire from Changbai Mountain still did not stop, and the first batch of merchant ships used for defense had been exhausted.

Yan Wujiang tried his best to order his men to fight back with artillery, but the damage they could cause to the Daqian troops was limited.

In addition, the Daqian ironclad ship downstream also officially entered the scene at this time!

This was the first time that an ironclad ship appeared in front of Yan Wujiang.

Looking at the heavy ship wrapped in iron sheets, Yan Wujiang felt his scalp tingling!

"Use the largest caliber artillery and shoot them once."

There was no other way, Yan Wujiang could only try to attack the ironclad ship first.

Everyone quickly aimed their guns at the ironclad ship that was slowly approaching from a distance.

boom!

A violent explosion sounded.

Soon hundreds of cannons were being thrown at the ironclad ships.

Smoke and dust rose up and flames flew.

After countless splashes of water dissipated, everyone discovered that the black ironclad ship had been burned by the high temperature, leaving white marks spreading from the center to the surrounding areas.

But the enemy's ironclad ships... were still approaching the Yan Dynasty troops.

Seeing that such an attack was useless, Yan Wujiang glanced at the small boat docked below and used a trump card!

"Get on board and spread out closer!"

The boats were spread out, and it was difficult to cover them completely with firearms.

The Yan Dynasty already had more troops than Qin Ming. As long as they could get close and fight hand-to-hand combat on the water, they would definitely have more advantages than on land.

As Yan Wujiang's order was issued, hundreds of small boats began to disperse and advance!

Facing Yan Wujiang’s new changes.

Chang Baishan on the other side of the river stood in the artillery fire, just crossed his arms and watched the scene quietly.

Noticing his actions, Yan Wujiang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart for some reason.
