A loud "bang..." broke the tranquility of the night and kicked off the war.
The big ship collided with the small boat, and the huge impact knocked over all the small boats in front of it. The small boats behind also suffered damage, and one after another they capsized into the water.
The sound of "plop...plop..." was heard falling into the water, and the curses of the sailors could be heard in the distance.
This attack was very successful. Dozens of small boats were knocked over. As long as they hit it a few more times, they would definitely be able to break through the obstacle, but...
When the two sides collide, the forces act on each other. The small boat bears a huge impact force, and the big ship also bears huge resistance. The strong resistance not only slows down the big ship, but also stops the big ship due to inertia.
As a result, the ship's hull continued to rock.
The big ship paused for a long time, only for a breath, but it was enough for the small boats behind and on both sides to rush up and surround the big ship.
"Your Highness, we are surrounded." By the time the big ship could move forward again, they had been surrounded, and there were even several small boats beside their ship, ready to board the ship.
"Keep hitting!" Qin Jiyan ordered without hesitation.
The boat he used looked ordinary on the outside, but in reality it was extremely solid. Let alone a small boat, Qin Jiyan was not worried even if a warship of the same size was opposite.
If we really collide, he will definitely not be the one who suffers.
The sailors at the helm heard Qin Jiyan's order and speeded up again. However, this time they had limited space and could not go faster. Without enough speed for support, even if the big ship collided with the small boat, it would not have much effect.
"Pah, pah, pah..." There was a crashing sound from the hull, and the investigating secret guard had come to report, "It's an anchor. Fortunately, our hull is made of special wood, and the opponent didn't break it."
The anchor is used to secure the ship when it docks. At this time, the opponent used the anchor to break Qin Jiyan's ship, and then held it tightly to prevent the ship from moving forward.
"Keep moving forward, be careful around and don't let anyone climb on the boat." The hull of the boat is very strong and cannot be broken easily. Qin Jiyan is not worried about the other party using weapons. He is worried that the other party will block their way and prevent them from moving forward.
.
And this is indeed the case now. The small boat is getting closer and closer to them. At this moment, they are like elephants surrounded by ants, waiting for the ants to work together to lift their big boat.
The secret guard obeyed the order and suddenly retreated...
There are counterattack and defensive weapons on the ship. The sailors have already pushed them out. What the secret guards have to do now is to use these weapons to knock down the approaching boat...
"Quick, brothers, charge forward and we will win. There are many of us, let's go together..." The navy in the south of the Yangtze River saw the speed of the ship getting slower and slower, and his eyes gleamed.
Still with their many years of combat experience, as long as the ship slows down, it will soon be trapped in the water by them, and then they can board the ship smoothly.
With their numerical advantage, the naval forces in Jiangnan believed that the victory in this battle belonged to them.
"Hula..." The water surface broke open, and the boat surged forward, like a school of ferocious fish in the sea, swooping over with its big mouth open.
"Your Highness, we are trapped!" Under the huge resistance, the ship could no longer move forward.
The small boats formed a circle and tightly surrounded the big ship, trapping the big ship so that it could not move. Qin Jiyan snorted softly and opened his thin lips: "Explode!"
What he was waiting for was for these people to disperse and weaken the guards directly in front, so that he could attack them in one fell swoop.
"Boom..." There was an explosion, and a sea of fire shot into the sky, making half of the sky red like blood.
"Sure enough, he chose to fight head-on!" Not far from the battlefield, upstream, that is, behind Qin Jiyan, a huge warship stopped. Jing Yan was standing on the bow at the moment, and standing next to him was
It's Gu Qiancheng.
"Knowing that he will choose to fight head-on, do you still want to set up an ambush here and waste manpower?" Gu Qiancheng looked ahead indifferently, with no emotion in his eyes, as if the person fighting in front was a stranger.
"If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of what might happen. What if he chooses to run away from upstream? I have to make two preparations to be able to capture him." Qin Jiyan knew Jing Yan, but Jing Yan also knew Qin Jiyan.
Qin Jiyan could guess his arrangements, and he could also guess Qin Jiyan's response, so he would make multiple preparations. Anyway, no matter where Qin Jiyan went, there would be a fierce battle to be fought.
"The army is coming, you can't hold him at all." Gu Qiancheng was silent, turned to look at Jing Yan, and asked, "You know the army is coming, why don't you leave?"
The wealth, food, and salt in Jiangnan were completely looted by Jing Yan. These things were enough to support an army of 150,000 for three to five years. Gu Qiancheng didn't understand why Jing Yan wanted to stay in Jiangnan?
Is there anything else in Jiangnan that is worth Jing Yan’s time?
"We have to fight once, and running away all the time is not my style." Some things must be done even though he knows they are wrong. Reason told him that it was not the best idea to fight Qin Jiyan at this time, but he still chose to fight Qin Jiyan.
Without fighting, he would never know the gap between himself and Qin Jiyan, nor would he know how long he would have to prepare before he would have enough strength to compete with Great Qin.
Gu Qiancheng was silent and stopped talking, and Jing Yan had no desire to speak. The two of them just stood on the bow of the boat, watching the sparks flashing in the distance, silently calculating the situation of the battle in their hearts to deduce Qin Jiyan
situation.
The night wind blew over, and the loose hair around his ears flew with the wind. Jing Yan turned his head, and the hair flying in the wind immediately swept towards his cheek, like an electric shock. Jing Yan was startled, and he forgot to react while standing there...
Jing Yan didn't know how long he had been in a daze. It wasn't until Gu Qiancheng found out and asked him, "What's wrong?" that Jing Yan realized that he was in a daze.
There was no nervousness or embarrassment. Jing Yan calmly withdrew his eyes and said with a bad smile: "I was thinking, if I hang you and tie you to the bow of the boat, do you think Qin Jiyan will fight for you?"
Gu Qiancheng did not answer immediately, but looked at Jing Yan seriously. After being unable to tell whether he was serious or joking, Gu Qiancheng said calmly: "You can try."
"So, you want to know too?" Jing Yan raised his eyebrows, as if he was watching a good show.
Gu Qiancheng silently removed his eyes and looked at the battlefield ahead, "I am the fish and you are the knife. It doesn't matter whether I think about it or not, right?"
"Fish? Do you want me to slaughter you?" Jing Yan still had a smile on his face, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The two of them did not treat Gu Qiancheng badly, nor did they force her, but...
This man still doesn't appreciate it.
Since he doesn't appreciate it, there is no need for him to be polite.
"Come here!" Jing Yan suddenly turned cold. After his men came over, Jing Yan pointed at Gu Qiancheng and said, "Her..."

There are still two more updates. In principle, I can definitely finish them before six o'clock!
