Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 546: Defeat on the River, Sacrifice the Rook to Save the King

The Yan army, like a swarm of locusts, shuttled freely across the Yan River, their muskets almost never stopping, pouring endless firepower on the ironclad ships in the distance.

The boats rose and fell along the river, crashing into the ironclad ships at an extremely fast speed, and the dull sound of collision was endless.

These ships were not very strong and would break into pieces if they hit an ironclad ship.

At this time, the troops above will take out iron hooks and climb up step by step.

Although the Daqian troops above were constantly clearing, they were like ants stacked together, densely hanging on the side of the huge ironclad ship, and slowly moving upwards.

This was also the tactic Yan Wujiang had previously formulated.

bang... bang...

The dull thud continued.

The bottoms of many ironclad ships have been deformed. Even the strongest ships will develop cracks if they encounter such continuous impacts.

Especially their ironclad ships at the front, which were now flooded by the Yan army.

Cracks also appeared in the cabin under the plywood, and river water began to seep in continuously.

But at this time everyone suddenly discovered something strange.

After they came up, the Daqian troops stopped resisting.

They were wearing some strange clothes. After looking at them, they actually jumped into the river.

"put!"

In the distance, Chang Baishan had already commanded his troops to drop incendiary bombs on the armored ship.

The burning egg contained their special kerosene, which quickly spread and ignited after hitting the ironclad ship.

At this moment, everyone was stunned, even Yan Wujiang who was standing at the back suddenly widened his eyes.

"How can this be?"

Yan Wujiang finally understood what they were going to do.

It's just that he realized it a little late.

In order to kill this group of enemy troops, Qin Ming and his men actually chose this ironclad ship!

As the fierce flames continued to burst out, the Yan Dynasty troops above no longer had the bravery they had in the reunion. They began to jump into the river one after another, preparing to escape.

But at this moment, the Daqian troops, who had just put on their water equipment, were already waiting for them in the water.

Blood splattered, instantly dyeing the river red!

Countless howls and pleas for mercy were heard.

Yan Wujiang's face trembled slightly, and he felt a little scared.

Fortunately, the troops he arranged to send out at this time had brought a new batch of merchant ships.

He then protected the periphery of his warship again.

When Yan Wujiang saw these things, he finally got a moment to breathe, and then he quickly asked them:

"Upstream...when will boats be able to pass?"

"Your Highness, the situation upstream is very serious after the bombing. We have already arranged for people to rebuild... Even if we use all our strength, it will take at least three days."

The gap created by Qin Ming and his men had a huge impact on Yan Wujiang.

Even if Yan Wujiang has more people than Daqian, it will take a huge amount of time to restore it.

If Qin Ming's troops launched a forceful attack for three whole days, Yan Wujiang couldn't imagine how many people he would lose!

"Go! Use double the manpower to fix it for me!"

"It must be completed within two days, otherwise you have to carry the boat back to me even if you have to carry it!"

"Yes……"

Several generals of the Yan army responded quickly, as they also felt uneasy at this moment.

Qin Ming's attack was almost non-stop.

Don't even want to touch them.

While directly bombing from a distance, they were also constantly rushing through the river, killing the soldiers who fell into the river.

"Hold on, you must hold on...!"

Yan Wujiang kept repeating in his heart.

But the more people fear something, the more likely they are to encounter it.

As the battlefield became more and more chaotic, a group of troops suddenly appeared on the dock in the distance.

Yan Wujiang looked closely and found that the person who came was Qin Ming.

"Yan Wujiang, you're defeated!"

Qin Ming had just arrived at the battlefield and without giving Yan Wujiang any chance to react, he used his internal energy to speak loudly, and his voice kept echoing on both sides.

"You fart!"

Yan Wujiang stopped him immediately.

As a commander-in-chief, he could naturally see what Qin Ming was going to do now. Qin Ming's high-profile appearance was just to undermine the morale of the Yan army!

The soldiers who didn't know what was going on now also turned their attention to Qin Ming. They were all very worried and wanted to know what Qin Ming, who had not appeared for a long time, had done.

Facing the doubts expressed by everyone.

Qin Ming laughed and said:

"I've completely blocked the upstream. Your tactics are useless now. This is your last batch of merchant ships. After you use up this batch of merchant ships, what other tactics do you have left?"

"The facts prove that even in a naval battle, your troops are no match for Daqian!"

"Yan Wujiang, I said you lost, is there a problem?"

"If you surrender now, I can still let you go. If you resist stubbornly, Daqian doesn't mind slaughtering Xingjiaguan!"

Qin Ming's voice made all the Yan army soldiers present feel a chill in their hearts.

They finally knew what Yan Wujiang had been hiding just now.

Tactically, they were completely crushed by Qin Ming, and the subsequent losses will be multiplied several times!

As the commander-in-chief, Yan Wujiang will definitely not sacrifice himself, but these ordinary soldiers will once again become cannon fodder.

Everyone cherishes their life.

No one wants to die in vain.

Fei Yuanheng had long noticed that there was a problem with the army's morale, so he hurried to Yan Wujiang's side.

"Your Highness, if you continue to fight at this time, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us. The Third Prince has already retreated from Xingjia Pass. It would be better..."

"Retreat again and again?"

Yan Wujiang's mentality was already a little off at this time.

Even if Fei Yuanheng spoke up, he still found it difficult to accept.

They have retreated again and again, from the original Lian'an City to Yanjiang. Now they can't even defend Yanjiang and have to retreat back to Xingjiaguan.

"Do you know what this means?"

"Without the Yanjiang River's Xingjia Pass, once the docks on both sides are controlled by Qin Ming, it will become their natural barrier and we will never be able to break through."

Yan Wujiang was right. The reason why their current pass was called the second line of defense in the east was because it was blocked by the Yan River.

Without this river, as long as they retreat back to the interior, this place will be no different from an ordinary fortress.

As long as Qin Ming continues to attack them, he will definitely be able to take them down later.

By then they will truly break through the second line of defense in the east and threaten the royal family!

Yan Wujiang is guilty of a serious crime!

"The 100,000 Tiger Roar Guards from the Yun family's front will arrive..."

At this time, Fei Yuanheng spoke softly and revealed another preparation.

"If you protect yourself, you will never run out of firewood."

"you……"

Faced with such remarks, Yan Wujiang suddenly widened his eyes. He suddenly realized that Fei Yuanheng did not seem to mean for him to guard the pass and continue to fight against Qin Ming.

"You want me to admit defeat... and hand over the battlefield to Yan Ziqiong?"
