My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 246 Who can help when everyone is betrayed and separated from their relatives?A single tree cannot support Shouchun City!
Looking at the flames that were burning in front of him, Xiong Zang widened his eyes in disbelief: "Is this the Qin Army's black water?"

Xiong Zang had long heard the rumors about the Qin Army's Black Water, and even heard that the Qin Army called Ying Chengyu to reincarnate Zhu Rong.

But the former Xiong Zang sneered at this, and was even very angry.

According to the records of Chu State, the ancestor of Chu State was Ji Lian, the sixth son of Lu Zhong.

And Lu Zhong's grandfather was Wu Hui, who was named Zhu Rong by Emperor Ku!

The Qin army called Ying Chengyu the reincarnation of Zhu Rong. What does this mean?
What qualifications does Lord Chang'an of the Qin Kingdom have to be the ancestor of my royal family of the Chu Kingdom!
So even though Xiong Zang had heard about Ying Chengyu's fire attack for a long time, he only thought it was a public opinion offensive by the Qin State. If Xiang Yan hadn't forced him to do so, Xiong Zang would have even wanted to throw away the sandbox on the ship!
Go to hell Zhu Rong’s reincarnation!
Nai Weng is Zhu Rong’s direct descendant!
How could Nai Weng be afraid of the fire attacks from Ma Weng's descendants?
But today, Xiong Zang finally realized that Qin Jun's claim that Ying Chengyu was the reincarnation of Zhu Rong was not a public opinion offensive at all.

Seeing the flaming flames and the lines of fire heading toward the Chu army's ships, Xiong Zang couldn't help but doubt.

Is it because of the continuous intermarriage between Qin and Chu that the ancestors lost their way and were reincarnated into the descendants of Qin!
"Clang clang ~"

The sudden sound of a trumpet interrupted Xiong Zang's random thoughts.

Xiong Zang immediately ordered: "Withdraw troops!"

The Chu army had long wanted to withdraw.

After hearing Xiong Zang's order, he immediately picked up the oar and rowed back.

However, how could Cen Bian miss this great opportunity?
Cen Bian immediately ordered: "The Chinese army's boats are locked on the river, and the rear army retreats to prepare for battle."

"The front army continues to charge forward!"

This was the first time that the Qin Navy had gained an advantage in a water battle. How could they be willing to let the Chu Army go?
"rush ahead!"

"Faster, rowers! Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!"

"Close to the enemy ship!"

Under the temptation of military merit, the Qin army's oarsmen rowed their oars frantically, driving the Qin army's boats to catch up.

The navy of the Qin army kept inserting the cannon into the altar to suck up the oil, and then sprayed it on the Chu army's ships!

Seeing the chaos at the front of the front army, Xiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "How could the Qin army throw fire?"

"It's quite ingenious."

After pondering for a moment, Xiang Yan spoke in a deep voice: "Instruct Xiong Ao's troops to move forward on the bridge and meet the enemy from the side."

“Use your oar to raise the water to reject it!”

Under Xiang Yan's order, Xiong Ao bit the bullet and commanded his navy to move forward and stand across the river.

Xiong Zang, who was withdrawing his troops, shouted anxiously: "Brother Ao, be careful of the Qin army's fire attack!"

Xiong Ao nodded with a solemn expression: "I know it!"

Seeing the center wing of the Qin army getting closer and closer, Xiong Ao took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Oarsmen in each boat, listen to the order!"

"Put your oar into the water and prepare to raise it!"

"The spearmen in each boat obey the order, fill the jars with water, and stand by!"

"The archers in each boat listen to the order, aim at the Qin army's center wing, shoot!"

Seeing that the Chu army not only refused to escape, but even formed a blocking formation, three flames lit up on the shore.

Upon seeing this, Cen Bian immediately ordered: "Stop the front army and send the Twenty Wings forward!"

Most of the Qin army's forward boats were stationed, but only twenty Zhongyi boats were still sailing upstream against the Chu army's arrows, looking excitedly at the Chu army from afar.

"Sideboat!"

At the command, the Qin army's oarsmen rowed hard in the opposite direction, driving the middle wing to face the Chu army's bridge boat from the side.

"Raise the fire!"

As soon as they entered the attack range, Qin's soldiers put their torches out of the boat.

"attack!"

After another order, the Qin soldiers picked up their chariots and spit them out at the Chu army without hesitation.

Xiong Ao shouted nervously: "Pump water! Splash water!"

Following Xiong Ao's order, the paddler immediately inserted the oar into the river and then raised it with force.

The soldiers on the bridge also hurriedly poured water from the altar at the Qin army.

"Clap la la la~"

The water splashed everywhere, and the oil produced by the gouge was not extinguished by the water.

But the impact of the water flow knocked a lot of oil onto the Qin army's center wing!

"Our army is on fire!"

"Take the sand and turn off the flame!"

Many boats of the Qin and Chu armies were ignited by oil, and for a while, the soldiers of both armies were in chaos.

Looking at the battlefield with flames blazing into the sky, Qu Huan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Shangzhu Kingdom had the ingenuity to resist fire with water."

"If the Qin army's boats are allowed to rush into our Great Chu Navy, our Great Chu Navy may be completely wiped out after this battle!"

Xiang Yan shook his head: "The general's strategy is only to block it slightly."

"Resisting fire with water is just a temporary measure to slow down battle damage. The damage to our army will still be huge."

"The Qin army used this strategy to block our army, and our army may not be able to move forward along the waterway."

Xiang Yan knew very well that the Qin army's fire attack strategy was subject to the environment, and his own response strategy was also subject to the environment.

Xiang Yan's defensive strategy is not omnipotent.

But Xiong Ao didn't realize this.

Seeing the Qin army's boats catching fire, Xiong Ao laughed loudly: "Shangzhu's strategy is effective!"

"Soldiers, surround and kill!"

The bridge immediately protruded from the military formations on both sides and surrounded the Qin army.

When Cen Bian saw this, he shouted in shock: "Order!"

"The front center wing stopped putting out the fire and continued to attack the Chu army with the scorpion!"

"Send the center wing fifty to connect with the front!"

"Let the former soldiers shout that only by killing the blood can they come back alive!"

The Qin army's front troops hurriedly shouted in unison, transmitting Cen Bian's general's order to the ears of the front troops.

"The captain is right. If we are besieged, we will definitely die, so we might as well fight!" "Yes, as long as we can rush out, even if the boat catches fire, we can jump into the water and climb onto other boats, but If we fall into the Chu army's formation, the Chu army will kill us!"

"My mother, let's fight!"

The fire on the ship was less of an issue than being killed.

The oarsman reversed the bow of the boat and rowed the oar with all his strength to withdraw.

The Qin army on the center wing also completely gave up rescuing its own ships, and instead continued to launch fire attacks on the Chu army's ships.

The flames are still spreading!
Two quarters of an hour later, the Qin army's twenty flying boats were engulfed in flames and fell into the water.

The seventy bridge boats that the Chu army was responsible for intercepting were all destroyed!

The oil accumulated on the two arks also fell into the water and spread on the river surface, causing large areas of the river to burn.

Looking at the fire in front of him, Cen Bian sighed regretfully: "What a pity."

"Send the order to all the troops to withdraw into Yingshui!"

The Qin army retreated, and Xiong Ao also led the remaining troops back to the central army.

After boarding the high-rise ship, Xiong Ao handed over his hands in shame: "In the end, I have failed to live up to the expectations of Shangzhu Kingdom."

"Please go to Zhuguo to punish the guilty!"

Xiang Yan shook his head: "The Qin army is attacking with such fire, even this general can only resist, but cannot take the initiative to attack."

"Captain Xiong is not guilty."

Xiang Yan's words sounded like comfort.

But Xiong Ao sounded like Xiang Yan was mocking him.

Why do you dare to do something that even I dare not say I can do?
Xiong Ao did not want to continue this topic and asked instead: "The Qin army has retreated. The flames on the river will flow downstream along the river and become a sharp weapon to assist our army in advancing."

"May I ask Shangzhu State if our army will follow the trend?"

Xiang Yan said solemnly: "Our army is currently located upstream. Fire on the river can open the way forward for our army."

"But after entering Yingshui, the Qin army could stay upstream and use fire to drive our army into encirclement."

"Why did Wei's navy die? Captain Xiong has forgotten it now?"

"If we can't defeat the Qin army's art of fire attack, how many casualties will our army have to pay to reach Shouchun City!"

"If Lieutenant Xiong can crack the Qin army's fire attack technique, he can travel by water."

"If not, the waterway will be blocked!"

Although Cen Bian only used the water battle plan that Ying Chengyu made casually and put aside, it was not something Xiong Ao could solve.

Xiong Ao could only ask again: "Then our army will go ashore and march by land?"

Xiang Yan nodded and said, "This is the general's intention."

"Please ask Captain Xiong's troops to come ashore immediately to be the vanguard of our army and turn to the southwest to speed up the march!"

Xiong Ao pointed at himself and asked in disbelief: "The last general is a vanguard?"

"The last general's troops have suffered many losses in the water battle, and their military morale is gone."

"How can a subordinate general be a vanguard again!"

Xiang Yan said quietly: "This is the general's order!"

"Captain Xiong please obey!"

"If Captain Xiong doesn't obey, the army will not be able to march!"

If Xiong Ao did not serve as the vanguard, Xiang Yan would not be able to afford the troops and go south to rescue Shouchun City.

If the King of Chu were to question him in the future, Xiang Yan would say that it was because Xiong Ao did not obey the general's orders, which caused the army to stagnate.

Can Xiong Ao bear this responsibility?
Xiong Ao was born in the Chu royal family, and with the support of Chu King Han, he was able to serve as a captain in the regular army.

Xiong Ao has no clan support behind him, and the King of Chu wants him to die, so he has no choice but to die!
Gritting his teeth, Xiong Ao's angry voice burst out from between his teeth: "Wei!"

Watching Xiong Ao's troops come ashore, Qu Huan said softly: "Please Shangzhu Kingdom be more careful in the future."

"Looking at Captain Xiong Ao's attitude, he seems to have a lot of resentment in his heart."

"After this battle, Captain Xiong Ao will inevitably attack Shangzhu Kingdom."

Xiang Yan said quietly: "I hope he can return to Shouchun City alive and have the opportunity to criticize me!"

Xiang Yan could have not sent his family to Shouchun City, but Xiang Yan did it anyway in the hope that the King of Chu would give him sufficient trust.

Xiang Yan believed that he had reached the limit of what a noble general could do.

But this does not mean that King Han of Chu can use Xiang Yan's family to threaten him!
Guo Cang's threat touched Xiang Yan's bottom line.

Xiang Yan had to start thinking about whether to change the king of Chu like other noble leaders.

Before replacing the King of Chu, the first step is to weaken the direct army of King Chu Han!
King Chu Han was using Ying Chengyu's sword to eliminate dissidents.

Xiang Yan was using Wang Ben's sword to weaken King Chu Han!
Qu Huan was slightly startled, then shook his head helplessly: "The king's move is indeed disgusting."

"Forgive me to be honest, compared to the young master's broad-mindedness, the king is still a little behind."

Xiang Yan glanced at Qu Huan.

After pondering for a long time, Xiang Yan finally spoke: "Can I ask you, Master, to bear the cud to protect my descendants of the Xiang family?"

Qu Huan said with a smile: "Young Master Fu Chu will definitely be willing to do his best to protect the family members of Shangzhu Kingdom!"

Xiang Yan nodded slightly and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to you, Sir."

"make!"

"Xiang Qian led my private soldiers of the Xiang family to turn northeast, circle the father city and then go south."

"Once Shouchun City is destroyed, follow the Young Master's order to bear the cud, and be sure to rescue the Xiang family's children in Shouchun City!"

……

Time passed slowly.

The reinforcements that Chu King Han and Li Yuan had been waiting for had not yet arrived.

Only one flying stone after another arrived at Shouchun City!
Looking at the east wall of Shouchun City where many cracks had appeared and part of the upper part of the city wall had collapsed, Li Yuan's eyes widened: "Why haven't reinforcements arrived yet!"

"Is Xiang Yan planning to rebel?"
