Today's warships generally have double decks: the lower deck is the operating space for the oarsmen, and the upper deck is the deck platform, which is the place for fighting.

Because the audience in the live broadcast room had a wide viewing angle, when they compared the warships of Qin and Chu, they discovered that the shapes of the ships were very different.

Compared with the warships of Qin, the warships of Chu were about the same size.Chu warships still maintain the basic shape of Wuyue ships: the overall ship has a flat bottom, a square head, and a square stern; there is a square cabin at the stern, which is the command room where the war drums are placed.

But some Qin ships were equipped with metal rams on their bows!Although there are sudden ships in the fleet that are specialized in ramming ships, some of the Qin warships have had their shapes modified.

At this time, water warfare was not yet too mature, and it was mainly through side-to-side fighting.That is, after the two ships staggered and lined up side by side, the soldiers threw spears at the enemy ships, used "rejection" and "hook" to harass and attack the enemy from a distance, or shot arrows at the enemy.Therefore, the common weapons on board are spears, long axes, long swords, crossbows, etc.You can also jump onto the other side's ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Now that the fleets of the two armies are facing each other, in terms of numbers alone, the Qin army is actually superior in number.It may also be that they did not know the details of the Qin army, so the Chu ships did not dare to rush forward rashly.

They did not use crossbows to shoot. After all, the distance was still quite far, and the range of their bows and arrows could not reach the Qin army's warships.

The Chu army formed a formation and waited for the Qin army to approach. However, for a while, the Qin army did not seem to get too close.At this time, the Chu warship commander discovered that the Qin army had almost stopped the fleet!

You must know that the river is flowing.If you want the boat to stop at this time, you have to paddle forward or reverse according to the direction of the water flow.

The general of the Chu army felt that something was abnormal, so he quickly climbed to the top of Yuhuang and looked at the Qin army's ships, wanting to see what they were doing.

However, because the distance was still a few hundred meters, we could only see some changes in the positions of some ships.With experience, he could tell what kind of ships those changes were probably.

Ge Zhou has actually moved to the periphery.

There are many people in the Chu army who are good at water, and many of them can swim in the water and hold their breath for a long time.

Many times in water battles, generals will secretly send people to sneak into the water, sneak under the enemy's ships, and cut through the bottom of the ships, allowing the enemy warships to slowly take in water and sink.

As for Gezhou, in addition to transporting weapons, its other function is to prevent the enemy from using this method!

Because the bottom of Ge Zhouzhou has been reinforced, the bottom of the boat cannot be penetrated at all!

At this time, the distance between the two armies was already far away, and the Qin army was on guard again, so naturally the Chu army's general could no longer send out divers and floaters to sneak attack on the bottom of the ship.

However, some of the large wings of the Qin Army were already connected at this time. People could be seen coming and going on the deck, and it was unknown what they were preparing for. This gave the general of the Chu Army a bad premonition.

However, after visually observing the distance between the two sides, the Chu army general thought that it should be safe now, so he raised a flag to signal that the entire army was on alert, and the archers were ready to attack the soldiers on the enemy's deck once they were within shooting range.

Fu'an Fen: If the Chu army doesn't take action, there is no need to take action. An'an, you guys are too bullying.Qiangqiang Zeng: Hey, let me tell you, An'an, wouldn't it be bad if you exposed these secret weapons so early?
Of course, the audience in the live broadcast room could see clearly that Jiang Anrao had already led the disciples of the Mo family to start assembling the warship!

At this time, there were no large-scale long-range weapons of destruction suitable for water warfare, so boarding warfare became the mainstream.But it doesn’t exist nowadays, the Mo family does!Other countries don’t have it, Qin has it!

Jiang Anrao took the Mohist disciples to get all the various parts and components of the warship they were on, and assembled the trebuchets one by one. In addition to the trebuchets, there were also some giant ballistae.

Then, the fleet drifted along the current, and the current rushed towards the Qin ships and approached the Chu army.

When the distance was right, Sima Cuo directly ordered people to signal and attack.

Next to Jiang Anrao was the deputy commander of the fleet, Yan Lun. After seeing the flag, he said to Jiang Anrao:
"Girl, you can start."

Jiang Anrao heard this and asked people to fill the "cannonballs". The Mohist disciples personally adjusted the direction, aimed, and fired!
More than 30 kilograms of stone are thrown by the catapult using the principle of leverage, with a range of between 210 and [-] meters.Before the Chu army understood what was going on, they saw a lot of black things flying out of the Qin army fleet that was approaching quickly.

Then the next moment, a "bang bang" sound came, and some flying rocks hit the deck of the warship directly. With better luck, the deck withstood it and was not damaged, but some soldiers were hit more or less. Thirty kilograms The stone fell in a parabola, and it was really injured and killed.

When each stone falls, there is no telling how many Chu soldiers will be injured.

On the unluckier Chu warships, the decks were directly penetrated, rocks fell down, and the oarsmen suffered.

Giant crossbows were also fired frequently.If it happens to fall on the deck, several candied haws have to be threaded through at one time. When it is finally nailed to the deck or ship board, it will be three-pointed!
The generals and soldiers of the Chu fleet were stunned by this!

What the hell is this!There is no such thing!You can’t be so unconventional in a water fight!This is equivalent to waiting for a bayonet fight with the Qin army, but the Qin army directly opened fire!

When the Qin army reached the attack range, they continued to control their speed and did not get close. They just smashed them within the shooting range.

Thirty kilograms of stone is quite heavy. One ship can't carry too much, but it can't hold the Qin State's many ships!The first few large-winged ships here have catapults and giant ballistas mounted on them, and the connected large-winged ships at the back will transport the large rocks loaded on the ships.

When the large stones on this ship were used up, the stern boat zhú and lú untied the connection between the two ships. The big ship rowed aside, and another warship came over, and then carried the stones!
Seeing how fierce the Qin army's attack was, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army did not dare to approach. The Qin army's ships seemed to be more numerous than the Chu army's, and now the weapons loaded on the ships were still so terrifying.In the battle on the water, Chu seems to have no advantage anymore, so it’s better to retreat quickly!
Retreat to the shore and rely on the city to resist the enemy!
So the Chu State guard had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and the Chu State fleet retreated towards Fuling.

When they retreated, the Qin army pursued them.

The Chu general thought that they had no advantage on the water, so he retreated to Fuling City.

When they returned to the city, closed the city gates and stood ready, they found that the Qin army was indeed chasing them.However, before he could give the order, he saw that after the Qin army caught up with them ashore, they had no intention of resting and were about to attack the city!
