System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Wang Jian stood in the warship command room and directed the battle with various small flags.

The boulder hit the solid city wall heavily, making a dull noise.

The painful wails of the Chu soldiers, the hysterical shouts of the generals, the panicked running sounds of the Chu people in the city, and the chants of the wizards praying for God's blessing, all mixed together, impacting everyone's eardrums.

"General Wang, when are we going to the city gate?" the deputy general was eager to give it a try.

Wang Jian poured himself a cup of tea. It was bitter in the mouth, but after the bitterness, it became sweet.Since the news about Nujun's love for tea spread, Niu Buhui also said that drinking tea is good for the body, and this way of drinking tea became popular in the city.

Wang Jian: "Wait."

What are you waiting for?Of course, we are waiting for the captain from Eyi!
Nowadays, there are generally three methods of water warfare: one is long-range attack with archers, the other is ship-to-ship close combat, and the third is the last resort.

When Chu's boat master followed the usual practice and wanted to get close to Qin's warship, he was out of range and was sunk by Qin's escorting warship with crossbow arrows wrapped in kerosene.

A small number of small boats that were ordered to scuttle the ships managed to escape, but were directly hit and sunk by the sharp heads of the Qin warships.

The Chu State's naval commander initially divided his troops into two groups, one of which surrounded the Qin State Navy from the lower reaches.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jian had already ordered people to prepare fire boats and sail down the river to form a wall of fire, completely blocking Chu's reinforcements.

When the Chu boat division upstream wanted to imitate Wang Jian's tactics and set fire to the ship from further upstream, he was like Dong Shi. The fire boat was sunk by the Qin boat division from a distance with crossbows and trebuchets.

The gap in weapons cannot be bridged by witchcraft.

The Chu boat division versus the Qin navy was like stone versus bronze. In terms of weapons, tactical literacy, and strategic coordination, the level of the generals was completely different.

"Haha! The battleship is mighty!"

"This is the navy that Lord Lieutenant has worked hard to build! Invincible!" The deputy general and others had tears in their eyes. They were obviously seven-foot men, but at this moment they wanted to hug each other and cry.

This crushing victory was brought about by Lord Lieutenant!It is the hard work of the Mo family who is buried in the workshop!

"It's because I'm short-sighted and can't understand Lord County Lieutenant's layout! I used to complain about Lord County Lieutenant's emphasis on labor!"

"As expected of your Lord Commander! The depth of his plan and the determination of his mind are beyond our reach."

"The weapons brought by hundreds of workers are enough to serve as an army!"

Wang Jian nodded in agreement, as what these Qin soldiers said was what he thought.Although Wang Jian was well aware of the power of the Mohist family, he had never experienced it so profoundly.

An advantage may not be noticed.But ten points, twenty points, and one hundred percent advantages come together to form such a one-sided situation today!
After neatly killing the E'i boat division, Wang Jian directed the warship to approach the city wall until he could clearly see the heads on the wall shaking.

"They're here!"

"Witchcraft! It must be witchcraft! Quick! Shoot down that flag with the rocket!"

"Don't worry about the flag, shoot whoever you can!"

The generals who defended the city mobilized all the defenders to the city wall and tried their best to shoot at the buildings and ships with rockets.

However, the Qin warship with the red flag flying was like an oppressive prehistoric beast, and small rockets could not damage it at all.

The repeating crossbow fired from the warship arrived in an instant. A repeating crossbow penetrated the chest of a Chu soldier like a string of candied haws. Without losing momentum, it continued to penetrate the second, third, and third...

The generals who defended the city of E were in a dilemma.

Do they continue to pile human lives on the city wall to block the approach of warships?Or spread out and engage in street fighting?

The guard had no doubt that as long as he took a step back, the towering warship would tear through the city wall like it tore through the E-Yi Navy!Either defend to the death, or move the battlefield to land where warships cannot reach.

"What happened to the Lieutenant of Bashu County?! Where did she get so many warships? And why is this general so good at water warfare?" the city guarding general asked desperately.

The guards who watched the excitement at first cowered and hid behind the city wall. After hearing this, they whispered back: "General, have you forgotten? Someone has already reported that the captain of Bashu County wants to build a ship."

The guard was stunned. Yes, when the news came out, everyone scoffed and thought it was her bluff.

"As for the generals who lead the army... the captain of Bashu County is a disciple of Bai Qi, Marquis of Wu'an!" The guard shuddered. Bai Qi left a deep shadow in the hearts of Chu people.

The Eyi guard general opened his eyes in shock, and saw that the guard who was talking to him just now was shot through the head by a crossbow arrow, and the splattered blood was mixed with white brain splatter...

In his daze, he seemed to hear the Qin army shouting: "Climb the city gate!"

The stairs stretched from the station ship to the city wall, and the black-clad Qin army surged up the wall like a tide.

The Chu soldiers had long been frightened out of their courage by this scene. They turned around and ran away regardless of the war supervisor's hoarse roar!
The generals tried to reorganize their soldiers, but to no avail.

"General, let's run! Qin has few soldiers and will not pursue us." The fleeing lieutenant pulled the general and ran towards the city wall.

The Eyi garrison sighed, glanced at the fire-breathing dragon-like warship from afar, then clenched the sword in his hand and charged towards the open city gate.

The Chu State is different from the other six countries. Most areas still have a feudal system. The feudal king has all the rights of the fiefdom, which is far more powerful than the great princes of the Qin State.

The state of Chu currently has three aristocratic families, Zhao, Qu and Jing, controlling the power of the government.Noble families also have lords who depend on them.Eyi Shoujiang is one of them.

The defeat of Eyi is the obvious result. Now it is time to see whether we should engage in street fighting and persist until the reinforcements of Chu State arrive.

However, once the street fighting began, the losses of his soldiers were immeasurable.

If he escaped directly and kept his soldiers, then the family would most likely be able to keep him, and no matter how angry the King of Chu was, he would not be able to deal with him.

After weighing the pros and cons, the defender decided to retain his own strength and ordered a retreat.His soldiers followed closely and fled together.

"retreat!"

"The guard retreated!"

Not only the Chu army, but also the Qin army shouted at Wang Jian's signal.

The general and Wang Jian seemed to have a tacit understanding, and the Chu army did not make a fearless struggle and fled in all directions.

The Qin army climbed onto the wall, and as long as the Chu army did not resist, they would not pursue him.

If someone could look down at this battlefield from a high altitude, they might feel that this was an tacit exercise.

"General Wang! Us!" The deputy general grabbed Wang Jian's arm tightly and spoke incoherently.

Wang Jian slumped down on the rattan chair and took the teacup handed over by the guard: "I ordered someone to report the battle situation to the commander-in-chief. At the same time, make repairs in Hubei and prepare for defense."

"promise!"

Wang Jian touched the smooth rattan and found it much more comfortable to sit on than a wooden stool.After the rattan armor made by the Ba people filled the warehouse, the female monarch suggested that the Ba people make rattan stools, chairs, tea tables, etc.

In Bashu, where there are hot flashes, rattan products are very popular.
