However, the original garrison generals at Niuzhuji fled away, watching as the Jin soldiers were about to cross the river without any hindrance.

But at this time, the emperor suddenly sent people in advance to "invite" him and all the old parties scattered across the country, saying that they would go to the front line to watch the battle.

Is this to watch a battle or to die?

Although the historical slice did not complete many details, Wen Junshi also had a deep understanding of the Jin people's brutality and powerful combat power in his mind at this time. In his opinion, relying on his hands at this time

Fighting against the Jin soldiers with such a small number of people is simply asking for death.

What's more, the emperor and Wang Wenchuan didn't know what was going on in their heads, but they actually went on a military expedition in person?

Even if the imperial commander went on a personal expedition, he actually didn't bring many people with him. He only brought with him a flying tiger army and some naval forces that he had trained before...

Wenjun looked ashen as ashes, and had only one thought in his mind: The Qi Dynasty would probably be overthrown today!

Although he had not finished finishing his book, he was forced to die for his country at this time, and was killed by the stupid emperor in disguise, which made him feel sad in his heart.

But at this time, other New Party officials who were also in the camp were talking and laughing, as if they were preparing to watch a play, without any pressure at all.

In the past ten years, Wen Junshi has also continuously learned about the new law from various channels.

He questioned the authenticity of these messages countless times, but whether he asked old friends whom he absolutely trusted or went to the fields to ask the old farmers who worked hard in the fields, he got the same answer.

The new law was very popular with farmers and indeed added a lot of wealth to the national treasury!

The only ones who suffered were the landlords and scholar-bureaucrats.

Wenjun really couldn't figure out what was going on, let alone why these officials and the emperor took the initiative to come to Niuzhuji to seek death since the Qi Dynasty was prosperous.

"The golden soldiers have crossed the river!"

Someone shouted.

Everyone looked into the distance and saw several large ships of the Jin soldiers already riding the wind and waves towards the other side.

These large ships were obviously filled with gold soldiers. Once they were released on land, the Qi army would hardly be able to fight back.

Wen Junshi looked at the emperor and then at Wang Wenchuan.

Jin Bing's ship has already arrived at the center of the river.

Wen Junshi looked at the emperor and then at Wang Wenchuan.

Jin Bing's ship is almost ashore.

The reason why Niuzhuji has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times is precisely because the river here is narrow, the water is steep, the mountains are steep, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is like a natural Great Wall along the Yangtze River.

In Wen Junshi's view, the best way to defeat the Jin army was obviously to "attack them halfway across the Yangtze River", taking advantage of the Qi Dynasty's naval superiority to attack the Jin soldiers head-on before they had crossed the Yangtze River.

In this way, even if there are fewer ships that can reach the other side, they will be easily destroyed by the Qi army.

But everyone present, from the emperor to the ministers to the soldiers below, were all indifferent?

Wen Junshi couldn't bear it any longer: "The officials, the treacherous ministers are harming the country! The Jin soldiers are about to cross the Yangtze River, why haven't our navy dispatched yet?"

"Prince Wang, you are well-read in classics and history, don't you understand the principle of attacking him half-crossed in a row?"

Wang Wenchuan smiled slightly: "Censor Wen, don't be anxious, just watch patiently."

Wenjun sat back down again feeling full of energy.

Soon, the first batch of Jin Bing's large ships were about to dock, but the navy on the Qi Army's side was still watching from a distance, with no intention of stepping forward to intercept them.

The Qi army on the other side of the river started to move.

However, they did not form a phalanx on the shore. Instead, they dragged some unknown objects covered with cloth to the river. They each looked for a suitable location and began to carry wooden boxes one by one.

These items covered with cloth were lined up, forming a complete array on the shore.

Wen Junshi vaguely guessed these things through the shapes under the fabric, and couldn't help but feel chilled.

Isn't this a thunderbolt?

However, the Thunderbolt Cannon cannot kill the enemy at all. Its main function is to stuff lime into the projectiles. After the ammunition explodes, the lime will spread all over the sky, blocking the enemy's vision.

If it were on the river, the thunder cannons might still be of some use, but at this time, the Jin soldiers were about to land on the shore. What's the use of placing a row of thunder cannons on the shore?

Wen Junshi once again lay down to die.

However, as the Jin soldiers' ship gradually approached, these soldiers finally uncovered the cloth on the cannon.

Only then did Wen Junshi realize that the size of these cannons seemed to be much larger than the thunder cannons, and they looked heavy and seemed to be made of cast iron.

Soon, the soldiers around the cannon began to get busy, constantly loading gunpowder into the barrel and stuffing various black spherical shells into it, waiting patiently for orders.

"put!"

The deputy general gave the order, and the soldiers lit the fuses in unison.

A moment later, the earth-shattering sound resounded throughout Niuzhuji!

In the violent explosion, cannonballs flew at extremely fast speeds towards the large ships that the Jin soldiers were approaching. These large ships were floating on the river. They were very obvious targets. With the cannons firing in unison, they wanted to hit them.

It’s hard to miss.

Because the distance was relatively long and the muzzle velocity of the cannonball was relatively fast, Wen Junshi did not actually see the process of the cannonball flying out of the muzzle.

But he saw sawdust flying around on Jin Bing's big ship. It seemed that something had penetrated it, creating a big hole, and the ship's hull was shaking violently!

Immediately afterwards, the golden soldiers on the ship began to panic and tried to block the breach.

But their efforts were doomed to be in vain, as the breach was quickly filled with water from the river.

Although such a large ship was still struggling hard, it finally failed to reach the shore and sank in the vast river.

The golden soldiers on the boat can only choose to dive, but the golden soldiers are not used to water. No matter whether they dive or stay on the boat, the final outcome will be the same.

Wenjun couldn't help but lean forward and looked a little stunned.

As a scholar, he has actually not seen many real battlefields. But he has read a lot of historical materials, and he still understands some basic situations on the battlefield.

But what happened in front of him at this time completely subverted his understanding.

But he had no time to think because the battle was still not over.

While the Jin soldiers' ship was sunk by the Qi army's artillery on the river, the Qi army's navy had also crossed Niuzhuji and crossed to the other side.

"boom!"

Several more cannons were fired in succession, and Wen Junshi discovered that there were cannons on the Qi army's ship. After firing a few rounds at the shore, he immediately sent the Jin soldiers fleeing.

Then, the Flying Tiger Army began to disembark from these large ships and log in leisurely.

Seeing this scene, Wen Junshi's heart trembled again.

What is this going to do?

He originally thought that the Qi army was relying on the power of artillery to defend the river. As long as the Jin soldiers' ships could not cross the river, Niuzhuji would naturally be defended.

But now, the Qi army actually took the initiative to land and counterattack?

Don't the emperor and Wang Wenchuan know the combat effectiveness of the Qi army's infantry?

The top of the Jin Army's camp was surrounded by demonic energy.

Immediately afterwards, the Jin Army's cavalry troops came out of the military camp!

If it were the Jin Army in real history, after being bombarded by artillery at this time, it is very likely that it would collapse on the spot and run away in fear.

After all, when this kind of artillery first appeared, not only did its lethality increase by a notch, but it also produced huge smoke and noise. The ancients were probably shocked when they saw it for the first time.

But at this time, the Jin soldiers had been strengthened by demons and had a strong will to fight. Therefore, not only were they not scared off by the cannons, they instead gathered their cavalry troops and pounced on the Qi army who had landed in the opposite direction.

Seeing these cavalry troops, the old party officials felt chilled again.

Because this is the iron pagoda and the kidnapping horse that Jin Bing is proud of!

In this twisted slice of history, the old party officials also automatically acquired this knowledge. They knew very well how lethal these two elite cavalry, which the Jin soldiers were proud of, had.

As for the Qi army, they just rashly counter-landed and actually used a group of pure infantry to disembark?

Everyone seemed to have foreseen the fate of these poor infantrymen.

After all, in their opinion, the infantry of the Qi Dynasty were not absolutely incapable of fighting cavalry, but it was best to wear dozens of kilograms of infantry armor.

Otherwise, as soon as the cavalry charges, the infantry will be crushed immediately and there will be no way to fight back.

If they were ordinary cavalry, they could still fight, but Tiefutu was covered in heavy armor, and ordinary swords were just scratching the itch. How could they fight?

What's even more desperate is that this group of infantry is still forming a square formation in an orderly manner, marching in a uniform pace, slowly advancing towards the cavalry that is about to charge them.

During the interval of advance, these men had loaded the flintlock guns in their hands with fixed ammunition and were ready to fire.

On the other side, another Flying Tiger Army led by Yu Jiaxuan has also landed.

At this time, he was riding a tall horse, covered with armor, and looked high-spirited.

Behind him was a group of cavalry similar to the Iron Buddha.

The armor technology of the Qi Dynasty has always been very advanced, as evidenced by the infantry armor. However, the Qi Dynasty has always been short of horses.

The cavalry under his command was squeezed out by Chu Ge and other players in every possible way. They selected the best from the best. It can be said that they emptied the wealth of several armies of the Qi Dynasty to put together such a cavalry team.

For this reason, Yu Jiaxuan practiced day and night, fearing that he would fail His Majesty's high expectations.
