After all the efforts, the Qin soldiers who fell into the water were rescued one by one, and the ships and rafts of the Qin army finally sailed out of the dock one by one.

Xin Sheng wiped the sweat on his forehead, and he was relieved, but now he couldn't take care of it, Xin Sheng hurriedly ordered, and ordered the raft equipped with a bed crossbow or trebuchet to step forward and launch a long-range attack on Daliang City.

The standard-bearer passed down the order, and the boatmen and sailors of each raft shook their oars and poles one after another, and for a while the warships and rafts were spread out on the water, and hundreds of boats were racing, like carp crossing the river, approaching Daliang City.

Although Wang Jian watched from the hill and remained silent, Wang Jian knew very well in his heart that this battle would not have to be fought, and it would definitely be impossible for the Qin army to capture Daliang City. Not to mention the chaos of the Qin army's fleet when it sailed out of the dock, even at this time, although the Qin army's warships and rafts were extremely numerous, and they looked quite scary when spread out on the water, they were completely arrayed, uneven, and chaotic.

But Wang Jian did not order the collection of troops, because it was not unacceptable to defeat the battle, but if the troops were withdrawn and retreated without even fighting, it would definitely be a big blow to the morale of the Qin army.

And Wang Jian also knows very well in his heart that it is not Xin Sheng's fault that caused such a situation, to be honest, who came to change, even if it was Wang Jian himself, he would not do better than Xin Sheng, because since the founding of the Qin State, there has almost never been a water war, so the Qin army from the main general Wang Jian to the general general, not only no one has experience in water warfare, but also almost knows nothing about water warfare, don't look at Xin Sheng's eloquent talk to Wang Jian yesterday, but in essence it is still based on the foundation of the army, and the result is only found when he gets into the water, It's not like that at all.

However, Wang Jian didn't have much hope for this battle, just to test the current state and mood of the defenders, and now there is another goal, which is to see how the water war is fought, how the defenders will deal with it, and what problems will occur, and then conduct targeted training, because now that the water has been released, it cannot be recovered, and it can only rely on water warfare in the future, so Wang Jian also decided to let Xin Sheng continue to fight this battle.

Without hearing the clarion call to collect the troops, Xin Sheng naturally would not collect the troops, and after leaving the raft and sailing out of the dock, the activity space was also greatly opened, and the activity between the rafts was also more, and the collision with each other was also reduced a lot. The chaotic situation has also improved greatly, although the entire fleet is completely devoid of queues and uneven, but the general direction is still in the direction of the girder.

Therefore, Xin Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief, he was powerless about the current situation, even if he wanted to rectify the team, he didn't know how to start, he could only take one step at a time.

The movements of the Qin army, the generals of Gao Yuan and Dai Wei saw very clearly on the city wall, and they didn't feel a little funny when they saw that the Qin army, which had always been well-trained and well-groomed, was like a rabble, because the appearance of the Qin army like an amateur army was indeed rare.

However, the Qin army still sailed out of the dock and approached Daliang City, and during this time, the defenders were also fully prepared, and transferred a hundred bed crossbows and a hundred trebuchets to garrison the city wall, waiting for the Qin army to enter the firing range.

Although the formation of the Qin army was chaotic, the rafts equipped with bed crossbows or trebuchets still rushed to the front, and under the concerted movement of the soldiers' oars, they were gradually approaching Daliang City.

At this time, E Chongyu said: "Lord, we have been training in the city for more than ten days for water warfare, and now that the Qin army is attacking, I don't think the Qin army has many troops, so it is better for us to open the city to fight, and fight a water battle with the Qin army, and take a look at the results of the training during this time." ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "Although we have been training for more than ten days, and the soldiers have found a little feeling of water warfare, first, the time for the training of the warrior department is still a little insufficient, and if we start a war with the Qin army now, we may not be able to take much advantage; A few days ago, I sent a bird message to Guiling, so that our training fleet rushed to Daliang to participate in the battle, and it is estimated that in three or five days, our fleet will be able to arrive, this batch of warships are made according to the standards of water warfare, and the soldiers have been trained for more than half a year, and they have been very proficient in water warfare. ”

When E Chongyu heard this, he was also a little surprised, and said: "It turns out that the lord has already arranged it in Guiling, I thought it was only these rafts set up in the city." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "That's natural, since I have calculated that the Qin army will use the water of the Yellow River to irrigate the beam, then after the water is released, it must be based on water warfare, so the last time we evacuated the Wei State, I left General Yuan to garrison in Guiling, so I ordered him to train the naval army in Guiling, build warships, and wait until now to use it, otherwise not to mention defeating the Qin army, but surrounded by this vast ocean, if there are no ships, when the city is broken, how can we leave the Liang, only rely on these simple rafts?" ”

At this time, everyone admired the gaze of the plateau, and Zhao Jiang said: "It turns out that the lord has already prepared for today's situation when he evacuated Daliang last time, and as soon as our fleet arrives, we can let the Qin army compensate for our strength." ”

While everyone was talking, the rafts of the Qin army had already entered the range of bed crossbows and trebuchets, and Gao Yuan immediately ordered to strike at the Qin army.

The bed crossbow was activated, and the crossbow guns were shot one by one, with a terrible roar, shooting at the Qin army in the water, and the Qin soldiers on the boat and the ship's gunwale board could be used as a cover, while the Qin soldiers on the raft were all unobstructed, so they could only resign themselves to fate, and as a result, many Qin soldiers were accustomed to crossbow guns piercing their bodies and fell into the water; And the trebuchet threw up a piece of 100-pound boulders and fell from the air, and some boulders hit the raft, and immediately smashed the raft to pieces, and the Qin soldiers on the raft fell into the water one after another, even if they did not hit the raft, they could stir up a column of water in the water, and make the raft shake fiercely, and also shook some Qin soldiers into the water.

As the defenders' attack began, two rafts were broken up, and there were more than a dozen rafts on which Qin soldiers fell into the water, some were shot by crossbow guns and fell into Xiaoli, and some fell into the water because they were unstable on the raft.

However, at this time, the rafts of the Qin army also entered their range, so they also started one after another, and launched a counterattack on the city, while the rafts and large ships responsible for the siege continued to move forward and approached the edge of the city.

But after the Qin army began to fight back, they found that a new problem came again, because the bed crossbow and trebuchet were launched, and the movement was not small, which also made the raft shake more than once, and the bed crossbow was a little better, although the recoil was very large, but the center of gravity of the bed crossbow was low, even if it was shaken, there was no big problem, at most some soldiers were thrown into the water, and they could be rescued again anyway. And after the soldiers got used to the shaking of the raft, the number of people who fell into the water was greatly reduced.

The trebuchet is different, because the trebuchet is much higher than the bed crossbow, and when it throws the stone, the force rod of the stone will be completely erected, so that the whole center of gravity will be shifted upward, which is not only a matter of shaking, but even the whole raft will overturn.

As a result, the Qin army's counterattack only began, and there were three or four rafts loaded with trebuchets in a row that overturned, although the rafts and trebuchets were wooden and would not sink, and after capsizing, they could eventually float on the water, but the soldiers and stones on the raft all fell into the water, and they could only struggle as hard as they could in the water. As a result, the other rafts loaded with trebuchets saw it and did not dare to send more boulders.

The defenders were naturally not affected by the water, so they did not have these troubles, and they were still the same as before, with bed crossbows and trebuchets shooting crossbow guns and stones at their own rhythm. The long-range strike weapons of the Qin army were also completely suppressed by the defenders, and after being beaten to the ground, the rafts capsized one by one, and the Qin soldiers were injured and killed countless times, and the corpses floated on the surface of the water with the waves, and the blood was left behind, staining the water surface red.

Although the Qin army's long-range weapons were completely suppressed by the defenders, the Qin army had always been strict in military discipline, and if there was no order to withdraw, even if they knew that they were going to die, they would still advance without a single move, so the Qin army's siege rafts, large ships, and small rafts and boats carrying troops still braved the blows of the defenders and gradually approached the city wall.

And as the raft of the Qin army approached, the soldiers in the city opened their bows and crossbows, and the arrows rained down, shooting down towards the Qin army. There are also many Qin soldiers who fell into the water and did not die, desperately fighting in the water.

At one moment, the sound of the bowstring, the arrows breaking through the air, the stones whistling, and the soldiers' roars, shouts, screams, shouts, and shouts for help suddenly became one.

Although Xin Sheng's big boat stopped more than three hundred steps away, there were still bed crossbows or stones falling near his big ship from time to time, the nearest stone was less than twenty steps away from the big ship, and the waves stirred up by the stones falling into the water caused the big ship to shake, but fortunately, the ship was still big enough, and Xin Sheng also grabbed the railing and did not cause any loss.

However, the current situation makes it impossible for Xin Sheng to get up easily, because before sending troops, Xin Sheng would never have thought that the battle situation would be like this, and it seems that water warfare is indeed completely different from land warfare. I thought it was too simple yesterday.
