Chapter 394: The Divine Power of the New Battleship
At this point, Lou Shide even felt that he would rather die here than live like this on the ship.
Every day on the ship is like purgatory.
He hurriedly boarded the deck.
Sure enough, I saw many Baekje ships raising their sails, but they were far away, and I couldn't see each other's reality clearly for a while.
Approximately...... There are more than a dozen ships.
Lou Shide felt that his eyesight had reached the limit, and vaguely, it was quite strange to see one of the ships.
This sail ...... It is somewhat similar to the ships built in Yangzhou at the beginning, and it is a little different from other Baekje ships.
Don't......
At this moment, someone staggered behind him.
However, it was Lou Shixian who heard that he had encountered an enemy ship, and although he was extremely weak, he still reluctantly boarded the deck.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Lou Shixian asked worriedly.
Lou Shide glanced back at his brother, and then said, "Do you see that boat, it's our Yangzhou ship." ”
"What?" Lou Shixian said in surprise: "Could it be ...... They dropped ......"
"No!" Lou Shide said: "Nine times out of ten, it was these Baekje people who captured the ships and made them for their own use. After that, he took a deep breath before he added: "You and my brother, nine times out of ten, we are going to die here, it's just ...... Before being buried in the belly of the fish, he not only avenged the victims at the beginning, but also repaid Chen Gongzi's kindness, at least ...... If the news of the death can be sent back to the Tang Dynasty, we can also give an explanation to the imperial court and Chen Gongzi, so that Chen Gongzi can know that he is not wrong. ”
Lou Shixian's eyes were full of haggardness, but at this moment, he suddenly became a little more resolute, gritted his teeth and said: "The one who dies for his confidant has no complaints." ”
Immediately, he coughed desperately, and it was obvious that the excitement in his heart could not lift his weak body a little after all.
Lou Shide glanced at his brother deeply, his eyes flashed with pain, but he didn't say anything after all, but ordered loudly: "Order, attack!" ”
"Sortie ......"
"Sortie."
"See, your vengeance, right in front of you, all eyes wide, these people killed your father and brother in the first place, today ...... The sky has eyes, and the sect official has encountered these enemies with you, and they are still stunned to do anything, desperately. ”
More than a dozen large ships, as if infected with the determination of the crew, went straight in the direction of the Baekje people and headed head-on.
But...... The Baekje ships on the opposite side did not have the slightest intention to fight, and they did not hesitate to go in the northeast direction.
So one chased, the other fled.
Lou Shide faced the sea breeze and frowned: "I understand, their ships are not much different from ours, for the sake of insurance, they are to retreat first, and they do not want to face us head-on, these Baekje people are not easy to deal with, they are too cunning." ”
When they encounter an enemy situation and do not immediately engage in battle, you can say that they are cowardly, but such a person can also be called steady.
Apparently...... Their rear team, or in the vicinity, there are larger ships in action, since they can obviously fight more and less, why do these Baekje people need to fight hard?
This is also the reason why they chose to flee, and the direction of escape must be towards their main force.
However, Lou Shide soon noticed something unusual.
Because his own ship is clearly much faster than the opponent's ship.
Lou Shide actually didn't know about ships before this, and in this era, there were no tools to measure speed, and there was no comparison before, so he didn't know it, but now, ...... But it's clear at a glance.
More than a dozen large ships ride the wind and waves, because of the keel, so the hull is long and narrow, and there is no need to worry about capping, and the long and narrow hull just brings a huge advantage to speed.
Chase all the way.
In this vast sea, above the blue waves, more than 30 ships, you chase me and escape, and the sailors on the ship, either at the helm, or prepared repeating crossbows, gritted their teeth one by one.
It's just at this point...... Suddenly...... At sea level, more and more dark shadows began to appear.
There were more and more black shadows, and they appeared on the horizon, the sails were like spears like a forest, and the ships were lined up as long snakes, slowly approaching.
Lou Shide's pupils widened, he suddenly realized something, and then turned around and said, "Did someone leak the news?" ”
He looked at Lou Shixian, his body was shocked, his eyes were deep, and he said: "Since we went to sea, someone must have leaked the news, otherwise, how would the people of Baekje know that we would come?" With so many Baekje ships, it's clear that the Baekje sailors poured out of the nest, but it's just ...... Who leaked the news? ”
Lou Shixian's eyes also showed a look of despair.
Everything that happened in front of me can only be explained by someone leaking the news.
After all...... The ships of the brigade were dispatched, and the main force of the other side actually ambushed here, so the only possibility was that the Baekje people learned the news in advance.
But...... Datang and Baekje are far apart, and when Lou Shide set out, it was a temporary idea, who had the ability to arrive in Baekje first?
Lou Shide's face was sallow at this time.
He originally thought that he was nine deaths.
But now it seems...... It's just nine deaths!
This...... There are hundreds of ships.
It is equivalent to the entire Baekje country, dispatching all the forces to ambush here, just waiting for himself and others, obediently sent to the door, and waiting for the sheep to enter the tiger's mouth.
If he had raided the Baekje people, he might have felt that he still had a chance of winning, but now that the other party was ten times his own, and he was prepared, how could this disparity not make him despair?
Lou Shide sighed, and finally said with a gloomy face: "Fight hard." ”
He turned back, but he still saw fear in the eyes of the sailors assembled on the deck.
Even if they came with hatred, when they saw countless ships slowly surrounding, even the ships that had fled before, they began to turn the rudder, obviously...... It is very likely that they will die in this ocean without a place to be buried, just like their father and brother.
At this time...... What countless people think of in their minds is the attachment to their homeland, and more people just smile bitterly, and then look at the inescapable ocean, determined to fight to the death.
………………
King Wen Zuo has puffed up its sails.
King Onjo was the founder of Baekje Kingdom, and it is rumored that he was the third son of the King of Goguryeo, and because of his defeat in the royal family's struggle, he had to take his people south to the land of Samhan, and established the Buyeo Kingdom in the southern part of the peninsula.
The country of Baekje took Buyeo as its surname, hence the name.
And on this Wen Zuo Wang, Fuyu Weigang has raised the handsome flag.
Buyeo Weigang is the right general of Baekje and a son of the clan of Baekje. This man was very good at water warfare and had a lot of prestige in Baekje.
At this time, he looked at the dozen or so Tang military ships in the distance from afar, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
He was over forty years old at this time, but his figure was very bloated, with a short beard under his chin, wearing armor, and his eyes fell on a lieutenant general beside him, who was his son, Fu Yuwen.
"The Tang army really came here, everything is not wrong, there are only a dozen ships, it is ridiculous, they really don't know the height of the sky."
"What the Father will say is that now they have wings to escape." Buyeo Wen was eager to try.
"Pass the order and attack immediately, but even so, you still have to be careful, and you must not be careless." Fuyu Wei just stood up, and there were words in his mouth: "King Wen Zuo, bless your children and grandchildren, and break the Tang Army again today!" ”
A strange horn blew in the ship.
Then, the Baekje ships marched in unison at this time, and many clippers began to outflank the Tang army's left and right routes, apparently fearing that the Tang army would escape.
"I look at the ships of the Tang Army, which are a little strange today, and the hull is different from the past." Fuyu Weigang pointed to the Tang Dynasty ship in the distance, quite before the battle, the meaning of guiding his son: "However, the ships in this world are always changing, no matter what they look like, they are still wooden after all, so the foundation of naval warfare is to contact the enemy ships, and use the strongest part of their ships to hit their hulls, and if they can hit, they can sink the opponent's ships." ”
"Is it okay to touch the boat?" It was obviously the first time that Buyeo Wen was brought out by his father to experience, and at this time, the Baekje soldiers around him had already rushed to the deck to hold their breath, and the flag bearer was frantically waving flags with other ships, while the father and son were chatting endlessly.
For Fuyu Weigang, the Tang Jun in front of him is not worth mentioning at all, but this is a good opportunity to teach his son, so he nodded and said with a straight face: "In this vast ocean, once the ship is gone, everything will be over." That's why it's so important to protect your ships. This requires that the sailors of the ship have a wealth of experience, and we Baekje people live by the sea, and some of them are skilled helmsmen and sailors. The words of those soldiers always talk about this naval battle are miraculous, but in fact, they are just deceiving you teenagers. The naval battle was just a collision, and when it happened, their ship leaked, and our ship was intact, and the naval battle was won for the most part. ”
Buyeo Wen was busy writing down, his father's general, but the strongest naval general in Buyeo country, his words ...... Naturally, it should be enshrined.
But when you think about it, it seems that there is really no skill in naval warfare.
"But what if it doesn't sink?" He raised questions.
Fuyu Weigang laughed and said, "If it doesn't sink into the ship, then the next step is the melee battle." It is easy to say that it is nothing more than hooking the opponent's ship with a rope, and then climbing over and engaging it in close combat. There is no skill at all, the sea is bumpy, and it is impossible to put up a formation at all, and the two sides are on the side, nothing more than fighting each other with their bravery. On the ship, there is no escape, so ...... Everyone will fight to the death, and whether this victory or defeat depends on who is still standing at the end. ”
Fu Yuwen thought for a long time, and then asked, "What else?" ”
"Nope." Fuyu Weigang said coldly: "This is the experience of commanding the naval army for my father for twenty years, as for other military arts, formations, etc., they are just used to fool the hundreds of officials in the court, anyway, they don't understand, the more miraculous the skill of the father, the more they actually feel at ease." Well, there is one more thing to teach you for the Father, and that is ...... To command the naval army, it is still impossible to rely on naval battles alone, learn these two skills, but also learn to be able to speak well, and when the time of triumph, in front of the king and hundreds of officials, you must be good at talking about how you set up the formation, how to arrange the troops, how to take down the thief ship at the last moment, the more so, the more difficult it is for someone to replace your position, understand? ”
Buyeowen: "......"
Fuyu Wei just patted him on the shoulder, and said patiently: "Naval warfare is actually the easiest to learn, today I will see how my father can annihilate these Tang troops in one fell swoop, and then, just like the last time, send these Tang troops to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, and then capture some prisoners and behead them on the deck to show the public." As for the last thing your Father taught you, you need to work harder and learn harder. ”
As he spoke, the mighty fleet was already very close to the ships of the Don Army.
Fuyu Weigang couldn't help laughing happily again: "There is a good show to watch." ”
He pointed to the first ship and continued: "Look at how my Victory Victory destroys the enemy's Victory, and has made many feats in battle, this time my father ordered it to be the vanguard, just to let the Tang Army taste our strength." ”
After listening to Fuyuwen, he suddenly became interested, so he also looked at it and wanted to see a good show.
He was still young at this time, and it was the first time he followed his father to sea, and his whole heart was so excited that his heart was about to jump out, and at this moment he only wished that he would kill these Tang troops cleanly on the Victory.
I saw that the Bisheng, under the cover of other ships, went straight to Lou Shide's ship.
The Baekje people have rich experience in naval warfare, and they can obviously distinguish the flagship of the Tang army at a glance, and obviously, Lou Shide does not intend to retreat, after all, as a flagship, at this time, if they do not charge into battle, the other ships will be even more unreliable.
The bow of the Bisheng was aimed at the hull of the 'Tian Khan' where Lou Shide was, and rushed headlong.
Lou Shide shouted frantically: "It's going to crash, it's going to crash, prepare, prepare ......"
So everyone hurriedly held on to anything on the ship that could be grasped, and one by one, their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
Seeing the ship, riding the wind and waves, the distance is getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer......
"Quick, turn the rudder, turn the rudder, and meet the enemy head-on."
In the midst of the loud cheers, the Tian Khan slowly turned the rudder, and the bow of the ship was facing the Victory.
The men and horses of the two boats were preparing for a head-on collision at the moment.
Finally......
Thundered......
The bows of the ships began to touch, and with inertia, and then, at an angle to each other, the bows of both sides were inserted into the sides of each other's ships, and countless pieces of wood flew sideways.
The Heavenly Khan shook violently.
The people on the ship seemed to be out of their control, and if they hadn't been holding on to the things on the ship, they would have been thrown away.
Many people even feel as if their internal organs are about to come upside down.
After countless sawdust flies......
The entire Heavenly Khan tilted sharply.
Someone shouted: "There is a hole in the side of the ship, a hole in it......"
There was an exclamation.
Many people mistakenly believe that the ship is going to capsize and that everyone will be killed.
But at this moment, the violently tilted hull suddenly flipped back like a tumbler.
The hole in the hull of the ship seemed to have eaten a lot of water, but it quickly ...... The water that went in was discharged again.
Still...... Alive......
………………
There should still be ......
