Daqin Engineers

In this battle, the Chu Shui Army was defeated and killed more than 4,000 casualties.

The number of casualties is the second, the point is that its defeat is so fast that even Xiang Yan did not react...

The whole battle took only one hour from the beginning to the end, which was almost the time for the Qin army to rush to the battlefield from upstream.

More importantly, Xiang Yan had no way to deal with this Qin Shui army.

The lieutenant Zhang Yao reported to Xiang Yan:

"General, Qin Jun is full of armor and is not afraid of arrows. I can't wait for a long bow to fight."

"The subordinate wanted to come forward to fight melee, but was caught by the falling rock..."

At this time, Chu Jun didn't know that it was called Paigan, so he called it Falling Rock.

However, Xiang Yan was walking around in the handsome mansion in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

All his plans are based on the situation where the navy dominates.

This was not a problem at first, because the Chu Shui Army did have obvious advantages, whether it was quality or strength.

However, after this battle, it was discovered that this was not the case. Instead of being dominant, Chu Shui Army was at a disadvantage, and an absolute disadvantage.

How will this Qiancheng be guarded from now on?

Can't hold the city, then Caozhou, Chencheng, and even the capital Shouchun...

Xiang Yan became more afraid as he thought about it, so Chu State was in danger.

But Xiang Yan also secretly rejoiced:

Fortunately, it was discovered early. If the Qin army is ready to fight again next year, then it will be bad.

Xiang Yan was right about this.

He should have been wrong in this move. Although he lost the battle, he was seeking a strategic advantage.

Otherwise, if the Chu army only knows that the defense is waiting for the Qin army to attack as before, and at the same time the Chu army thinks that the navy is stronger, then after this battle, I am afraid that there will be no time to prepare for it.

Shen Bing didn't think so much.

They were still fighting after Chu Shui Army was defeated.

The reason was that Qiancheng and the surrounding small fort were still in the hands of the Chu army.

But these are no longer major events:

If the Chu Shui Army cannot defeat the Black Armored Army, these Chu troops trapped in Qiancheng will be alone, and they will naturally surrender after only a few days without food.

Therefore, Shen Bing did not order an attack, but encircled the city from the periphery.

If there is any loss to the Qin army, it is the infantry led by Li Yan, whose deaths and injuries are more than 1,000, and the lives and deaths of them are unknown.

In fact, "life or death" in the water battle is almost dead.

Because the "life or death is unknown" is likely to fall into the water, this is a nine-death life for Qin soldiers who wear bronze armor and can't swim.

However, there are some exceptions. It is said that some soldiers of the Qin Army floated downstream in Handan with the wreck of the warship and were rescued by the Qin Army.

As for the Black Armored Army...Shen Bing clicked, with no more than a hundred casualties.

Most of them were minor injuries, and more than 20 people died because of some small probability events:

For example, the arrow just hits the eye...The vine armor can cover the vital parts but it cannot cover the eyes.

Another example is when the warship collided.

Five of the warships capsized during combat, and some soldiers were "unknown".

However, the "life and death unknown" of the Black Armored Army have a high probability of surviving, because they fall into the water and float on their own without being drowned.

As soon as the casualties were counted, the black armies couldn't help cheering in unison.

This was a terrific victory, defeating the Chu 10,000 naval forces with 3,000 troops, and trading more than a hundred men for the casualties of more than 4,000 Chu naval forces...

This is almost a miracle in the Cold Weapon era, because more than 4,000 unarmed people can crush more than a hundred people by swarming and pressing, but the more than 4,000 people faced by the Qin army are well-trained and fully armed. Chu Shuijun.

However, Shen Bing did not relax because of the good situation. After observing the small forts around Xia Qiancheng, he ordered the navy to capture three of them.

The reason why these three small forts were captured was because the naval and infantry camps were different.

As long as the infantry camp is on a piece of land, what needs attention is the water source and the problem of being attacked by the enemy.

The navy must have a site to camp, otherwise these boats will have nowhere to stop.

The three small forts selected by Shen Bing are triangular around the city, so they can reinforce each other in pairs.

In addition, two of the small forts are facing Caozhou on the other side of the river, and once the Chu Shui Army comes to attack the Black Armor, they can meet the enemy in time.

Fighting these three small forts can be said to be effortless.

On the one hand, the morale of the Chu army was gone. On the other hand, the Black Armored Army didn’t need a boat to land when attacking the small fort... They only needed to put the vine shield into the water, and then rowed from all directions. To the small castle.

Each small fort can only accommodate dozens of people, and the small fort has been dilapidated after changing hands back and forth after several battles. How could it be able to stop the attack of the Black Armored Army.

So Shen Bing did not take a sigh of relief after setting up the task here, and the battle reports of the various small forts over there had been reported.

He even took two more small forts. The reason was that some of the Chu troops were shocked by the sight of the Black Armored Army being able to come and go freely in the river. They surrendered from the fort before the Black Armored Army could attack...

So the Black Armed Forces is not actually fighting, but taking in prisoners and sending them back to the beam.

Then I stopped and camped...More than a hundred ships were divided into five parts, each with more than 20 ships.

The so-called camp is actually to lay a pile on the ground, and then fasten the warship on the pile, and the soldiers rest on the boat.

The food is delivered after the beam is ready...A piece of Heze near the city is not suitable for army cooking. Cooking on the boat is worried about fire, so it can only be done like this.

At night, patrol boats were sent to patrol to prevent the Chu army from sneaking attacks.

Everything is in order without flaws.

On the other side, Xiang Yan could only sigh as she looked at the scene and said:

"Qiancheng can no longer be rescued."

What this said is that the water army must be obtained to rescue Qiancheng, but the Qin Heijia army is now invincible, like a copper wall and iron wall blocking Xiang Yan, what can Xiang Yan do?

Bring in more navy?

Xiang Yan knew that this was not a question of the number of navy forces, but a question of inability to break this tactic.

After thinking about it, Xiang Yan gave two orders:

"Quickly go to Shouchun for help, and add another 50,000 infantry to Caozhou."

"Send the rock-falling warfare back to Shouchun, so that the navy can make the rock-falling warship according to its warfare!"

The guards responded and sent the order.

These decisions of Xiang Yan are reasonable.

If the water cannot compete with the Black Armor and cannot take the city and protect Caozhou as before, then only use infantry to defend Caozhou along the river.

Therefore, at this time, it is the infantry, not the navy.

As for the navy, of course, it should imitate the "falling rock"... This thing is not as complicated as the wheeled warship, and it is not difficult to imitate.

So Qin Jun can do this, and of course Chu Jun can do the same.

Although there is still a gap, at least the navy will not be as helpless as it is now when they fight again.
