St. Ann for five years.

The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.

One hundred warships led by Cheng Tianhu and Xue Zhuo arrived at the mouth of the Nanjiang River and began to turn their bows and sail up the river, heading towards the naval port in Jiangshui County.

Looking at the wide Nanjiang River in front of him, Cheng Tianhu couldn't help but sigh, "Nanjiang is indeed the natural danger of Nanyue Kingdom. The width of this river is more than three times that of Yangjiang."

Xue Zhuo nodded, "Yes, it's too wide. You can't see the edge at a glance. If we didn't have telescopes, I would have thought we were still driving on the sea!"

"Brother Cheng, I heard that the South Vietnamese navy is very powerful. We must be careful on the way forward to prevent enemy sneak attacks."

"Hahaha……"

"Brother Xue, you don't have to worry about this. We are sailing strictly according to Brother Lin's plan. We will reach Jiangshui County in Yuzhou this afternoon. No matter how powerful the South Vietnamese navy is, they will only be beaten in front of the artillery. And In broad daylight, the South Vietnamese naval forces could not conduct a sneak attack."

"Yeah! What Brother Cheng said makes sense!"

Xue Zhuo nodded, raised the telescope in his hand and began to observe the situation on the river. Suddenly, many small black spots faintly appeared in the telescope.

"Brother Cheng, look in this direction, there seems to be a ship coming towards us."

Cheng Tianhu quickly raised the telescope in his hand and took a closer look in the direction Xue Zhuo pointed, "The distance is too far and I can only see some small black dots. Brother Xue, don't worry, even if the South Vietnamese navy is really coming, we won't Let them never come back.”

"Brother Cheng, before we set off, Brother Lin repeatedly warned us that in order to avoid leaking information before the war begins, we are not allowed to use artillery unless absolutely necessary. Once artillery is used, we must destroy all the invading enemies."

Cheng Tianhu nodded, "Brother Xue, don't worry. In addition to artillery, we also have muskets and bombs. The navy from Vietnam is no match for us at all. If they dare to get close, we will rush forward and destroy them."

The ships seen in the telescope were only about thirty at most, but his own side had a hundred warships. Xue Zhuo nodded confidently, then turned to look at Hu Yong behind him, "General Hu, Ma Upload I will order all warships to prepare for battle."

"Yes, General!"

Hu Yong quickly cupped his hands, turned around and came to the command flag stand at the highest point of the warship, and immediately waved the command flag to send a battle signal to all the warships.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion took action quickly, and everyone was in position and ready to fight.

The ships on the opposite side of the river were indeed warships of the South Vietnamese Navy. There were thirty-one in total. On the largest warship, Lieutenant Chen Shiheng and Navy General Xu Jin were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea leisurely.

"Sir Taiwei, in fact, we can leave the matter of testing Yan Jun's strength to the future. You don't have to go to the front line in person. The artillery battalion of Tianbingwei has a hundred warships, and there are also artillery on the ship. In case they Take the initiative to attack us, our warships are no match for Yan Jun. "

Chen Shiheng waved his hand with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, General Xu. The artillery battalion will not attack us rashly when they are new here."

"The main task of this test is to find out how effective Yan Jun's artillery is in a water battle, so that we can prepare countermeasures in time. This is a task personally ordered by His Majesty, and I will never dare to neglect it. ”

"General Xu, Nanjiang is the first line of defense for River Valley City and must not be missed. Once Yan's army crosses the river, the consequences will be disastrous. Your navy's task is very arduous!"

Xu Jin immediately stood up and cupped his hands, "Please rest assured, Lord Taiwei, General Mo and the 50,000 navy soldiers will fight to the death to repel Yan Jun's attack and protect the river valley city."

Chen Shiheng nodded, "Okay, I'll be relieved with General Xu's words."

Time passed little by little, and the fleets of Yan and Yue moved towards each other, and soon met on the river.

Cheng Tianhu could clearly see the soldiers on the other side's warship through the telescope, "Brother Xue, this South Vietnamese navy is too rampant! With only thirty-one warships, they dare to attack us?"

Xue Zuo's face turned stern, "Since they are seeking death, we will help them. General Hu, tell me that I will order the warships to disperse and surround the enemy."

"Yes, General!"

At this time, the warships of Yan and Yue were less than a kilometer apart, so the movements of Yan's warships could not be concealed from Chen Shiheng and Xu Jin.

"Sir Taiwei, Yan Jun is about to attack us. According to the plan, we should return."

Chen Shiheng nodded, and then the largest warship in the Yue Navy began to turn around and return the same way, while the remaining thirty warships continued to sail towards Yan Jun.

Cheng Tianhu slowly put down the telescope in his hand, "Brother Xue, the enemy's intention is already obvious. He wants to use these thirty small warships to test the combat effectiveness of our artillery battalion."

Xue Zhuo nodded, "Xu Jin should not be underestimated. If I guessed correctly, he should be on the retreating battleship."

"Hahaha……"

"Brother Lin has long expected that they will come. It's useless no matter how cunning Xu Jin is. Thirty small boats don't even need artillery. Next, let them feel the power of muskets and bombs!"

The warships of Yan and Yue were getting closer and closer, and the warships of Yue soon entered the effective range of the muskets.

Cheng Tianhu immediately waved the command flag in his hand and shouted, "Shoot!"

"Boom bang bang..."

"Ah ah ah..."

The soldiers on the Vietnamese warships were shot and fell down one after another, and they made miserable screams before dying.

When Xie Wen, the major general of the Yue Navy Navy, saw that the situation was not good, he immediately shouted: "Yan Jun has muskets, soldiers quickly find a place to take shelter."

When Xie Wen shouted, the Vietnamese soldiers hid in the cabin one after another, leaving a deck of corpses behind.

The task Xu Jin gave Xie Wen was to lure Yan Jun to fire. As soon as Yan Jun's artillery fired, they could retreat.

Xie Wen visually measured the distance and found that his warship was more than two hundred steps away from Yan Jun's warship. At such a distance, bows and arrows were simply out of reach. In order to attack Yan Jun, he could only order the warship to continue moving forward.

Soon, the warships of Yan and Yue were less than a hundred steps apart. Xie Wen immediately ordered, "Everyone will come out of the warehouse immediately and shoot arrows to fight back."

"Yes, General!"

The Vietnamese soldiers were very brave. They rushed to the deck despite the hail of bullets from Yan Jun and shot sharp arrows at Yan Jun.

In close range shooting, the firing speed of muskets was far slower than that of bows and arrows. The soldiers in the artillery battalion put down their muskets and picked up bows and arrows. The brutal bow and arrow shooting began...

The warships of Yan and Yue moved towards each other. After several rounds of arrows, the distance between the warships became closer. Cheng Tianhu shouted loudly: "Soldiers, prepare bombs!"

"Yes, General!"

The soldiers of the artillery battalion put down their bows and arrows one after another, took out the fuse to light the bomb, and threw it towards the Vietnamese warship...
