Chapter 374 Changing Tactics

"The Qin army is here, the Qin army is really here!"
Seeing the smoke signal, the hearts of several ministers of the Chen Kingdom immediately became tense.
"What are you afraid of...?"
Weiman still had that contemptuous attitude, completely disregarding a few ships, then he gestured towards Les, "Les, it's up to you next!"
"My lord! You can rest assured, everything has been deployed in the main port. As long as the Qin army enters the harbor, we basically win!"
General Lei hesitantly chuckled confidently.
"Ah.....!"
However, civilian Haoyuan was not as optimistic, shaking his head helplessly.
Daqin's warships were very fast, and in just two quarters of an hour, eight steam-powered ships had already appeared in the Port of Touzhou!
Weiman led several important ministers to stand on a high ground, ready to observe the battle.
When they saw the warships of the Great Qin Dynasty, they couldn't help but gasp!
"Wow! After several years, the Great Qin Dynasty has actually been able to build such large ships?"
Wu Man became cautious instantly.
Previously, when his ministers reported, he thought it was just fishermen exaggerating.
He didn't expect that the technology of Da Qin would advance so quickly!
Compared to their wooden boats in the Chen Kingdom, it's like comparing a kayak to a battleship!
"Wang! Don't worry, even if their warships are bigger, and we can't use fire attacks, as long as we slightly modify our tactics, we still have a good chance of winning!"
The previous plan was to wait for their ships to enter the harbour and then adopt a tactic of surrounding and using fire attacks.
But now it seems that fire attacks simply will not work.
Their warships are completely made of iron and are not afraid of water or fire at all.
Moreover, it is several zhang high, and even torches cannot be thrown up, so the fire attack is definitely not feasible!
"How did it change?"
"By attacking halfway...!"
Lei Si stood on the high ground, contemptuously glanced at the incoming Daqin warships, and continued, "There are only these eight ships in total, estimated to have only about eighteen thousand people. Since the fire attack doesn't work, it's better to let them come ashore. When they are halfway up, we suddenly launch an attack. By then, they will surely be caught off guard, in a state of panic, and the combat power of our soldiers will be greatly reduced!"
"If we win this battle, not only can we send a warning to Da Qin, but we can also seize all eight of their warships!"
"Lei Si stared at the warships with burning eyes."
"These warships are so big that even if he wanted to own one, he has never even seen one before!"
If we can seize it, it will definitely be of great help to the development of the water army of the Chenguo!
"Your Majesty! It's not advisable! I heard that Daqin has a weapon that explodes upon impact. They used this weapon to defeat the Xiongnu. If they are allowed to land, we will definitely lose some cities!"
However, this proposal was immediately opposed by the courtier Haoyuan.
"Old man, have you ever heard of the saying that if people exist, land exists, and if land is lost, people are lost? As long as we are still here, what does it matter if they occupy a little territory? As long as we can eventually drive them away, won't these territories still be ours?"
雷斯白了老头一眼。
But..." "
"Alright, stop complaining. If you have a better plan, speak up. If not, then listen to General Ben!"
Hao Yuan wanted to say something else, but he was suppressed by Reis' strong attitude.
There is no way, in the face of Da Qin, he has no better solution, can only seek peace!
And even if he seeks peace, Da Qin may not agree!
Since the Qin extinguished the Xiongnu, their ambition has gradually surfaced, and it is only a matter of time before they conquer the surrounding countries!
"Just do it like this!"
Wei Man nodded and agreed to adopt the method of attacking halfway.
……
"The smoke signal has been lit for so long, why is there no movement from the Kingdom of Chen?"
Ever since Xiao Zhengtai discovered the smoke signal, Xin Sheng and Han Xin picked up their telescopes and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Half a while passed, and there was no sound except for the waves, which made them feel strange!
"Maybe they want to play some tricks?"
Wang Li said.
"Hmph! Doesn't matter what tricks they want to play, we'll confront them head-on!"
As the little boy peeled the shells off the crayfish, he casually said.
If you don't know him well, you would think he's just an ordinary gluttonous child.
There's no way, he originally brought some melon seeds with him, ready to pass the time on the boat!
But as soon as he came out of the nest island, he consumed most of them, just by focusing on those crayfish!
"Little short legs, if you keep eating like this, I'm afraid that before we reach Daqin, all the crayfish will be gone!"
"After organizing all the manuscripts from these days, Wang Wan pouted and said."
"Don't worry! You guys don't understand, the reproductive ability of these crayfish is very strong! Even if I only have two left after eating, they can still breed a whole batch...!"
The little boy smirked and leaned in close to Wang Wan, whispering, "Would you like me to explain in detail how they reproduce?"
"You...you...you...hooligan!"
Wang Wan just arrived on the deck and was infuriated by Ying Feiyu. She turned around and ran back.
"The young master is right. No matter what tricks they play, in the face of our absolute strength, they are just a joke!"
Han Xin said confidently.
Even without firearms, just with their bloodthirsty steel knives, they can conquer the entire Chen Kingdom!
"Land!"
After the ships docked, Ying Feiyu waved his hand and gave the order.
"The moment is about to arrive!"
"Reus, on the mountain, watched as the Qin army began to land, excitedly exclaimed."
"In just a moment, the smoke signals on the mountain top will rise again!"
"What does this mean? Was the previous wave not enough to burn?"
Peng Yue sneered when he saw the smoke signal.
"It seems like this should be the signal that Chen Guo is taking action!"
According to Xin Sheng's experience.
The first smoke signal should have alerted the comrades, and the Qin Army entered the port.
And now, it should be time to take action!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, numerous small boats from the Chen Kingdom suddenly emerged, cutting off their retreat!
Immediately after, a group of soldiers wearing armor roared down from the mountaintop and fiercely attacked the Qin army!
Seeing this scene, Wei Man was so excited that he almost jumped up, "Humph! Da Qin thinks it can bully us just because it has a big territory? This time, let them taste the bitterness of failure!"
At this moment, Chen Guo has completely surrounded the Qin Army, and their numbers are not as many as theirs. They have already gained the upper hand, and unless something unexpected happens, Chen Guo has already won!
"Old man, how about it? General said if we can win, then we will definitely win! The Qin army is now in complete chaos and has completely lost their combat effectiveness! With an attack from both the front and behind, it won't be long before we can end this battle!"
Reis arrogantly tilted his head back and smiled smugly.
However, Haoyuan still furrowed his brows, feeling that things were not so simple!
If the Qin Army didn't have absolute confidence, how could they send so few people to their Chen country?
You can't just show up at their door and deliver a ship to them, can you?
