Chapter 452: The Death of the Battleship
"Right now! Soon the king will be able to return to the warship! ”
Riding his horse and galloping, Yuangai Suwen was in a very urgent mood, and he was eager to appear on his own warship immediately.
Yuangai Suwen, who suffered a big loss, can't wait for people to bombard these "damned" Tang Army! Leave no one to chance!
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the coastline, Yuan Gai Suwen's heart suddenly swelled with a hint of bad intentions.
Obviously, the war in Cangzhou has started, but the remaining defenders on the beach have not seen any response.
When he did get to the shore, he found that everything was not what he expected.
The air was filled with the "aroma" of gunpowder, and for the first time, a panicked color appeared in Yuan Gai Suwen's pupils.
Could it be that his defenders have been eaten?
Looking out to sea, nearly half of the warships that should have been stationed in the sea emitted black smoke.
"It's... How is this possible......"
It's really unbelievable, Yuangai Suwen never thought that he just switched from Dengzhou to Pingzhou first, but he fell into the other party's calculations step by step.
At least half of the warships were destroyed, and the Tang people were too ruthless!
Yuangai Suwen and the rest found a few small boats on the shore and quickly approached the surviving ships.
From the first moment he got on the boat, he ordered the guns to be pointed at the shore.
At this moment, he had to admit that he was afraid.
Li Fangchen's series of killing moves really frightened him.
On the side of the warship, seven of them inexplicably turned around and headed for the open sea.
Seeing this, Yuangai Suwen was shocked and said, "Sink those ships quickly!" ”
It was too late, and by the time Yuangai Suwen realized that something was wrong, the seven warships had already sailed out for a full two thousand meters.
In this range, the degree of precision of artillery strikes is not reduced by a little bit.
After that, the Goguryeo army fled to the coast one after another.
Yuangai Suwen hurriedly ordered some of the warships to release small boats to ferry, while the other part kept their guns firmly on the Tang army in the rear.
Li Fangchen led the army to arrive and did not rush forward, but was far away.
"Go and bring the artillery, and let's beat him up again!"
"Yes!"
No. 3 and the others were very excited, and the two veterans, Li Jing and Yuwenjie, turned scarlet.
The Goguryeo soldiers, who only knew how to flee and had little resistance, were eaten by Li Fangchen at least 20,000 people in the pursuit battle.
Counting the 30,000 buried by gunpowder in the city, the battle was completely won, and Yuangai Suwen lost 50,000 people.
What's more, the loss of nearly four hundred warships is even more heart-wrenching.
The Tang army stopped, and also gave Yuangai Suwen more time to extradite the soldiers and horses on the shore to the big ship.
But he didn't expect that Tang Jun was still prepared.
In the rear of the Tang army, five hundred artillery pieces were launched, and in the face of the Goguryeo soldiers on the shore, they launched another attack.
Watching the fire from the other side is nothing more than that.
Li Fangchen asked people to build a simple shed for him, and sat in the shed with Li Jing and Yuwenjie, two veterans, and exchanged glasses of wine.
Just after the end of the fight, with a sip of spirits, several people couldn't help laughing.
After Li Tai and Li You arrived from the rear, they couldn't suppress their laughter at all when they saw this scene.
"Second brother, give me some drink!"
You're not welcome at all, he stepped forward and snatched the wine jug from Li Fangchen's hand and poured it into his stomach.
A hearty battle, from the beginning of Yuangai Suwen's intention to capture Cangzhou, was calculated step by step by Li Fangchen into the dark abyss.
After half an hour of shelling, the sea horizon completely turned into a dark place, and Yuan Gai Suwen on the warship cursed.
He really couldn't imagine that he would end up in such a downcast today.
Yuangai Suwen, who was originally full of 100,000 troops, was extremely depressed at the moment.
Of the 700 ships, there were no more than 50,000 surviving soldiers, all of whom were killed by Li Fangchen's operation.
On Li Fangchen's side, the Air Force lost 1,000 people, and no more than 900 remained.
The army lost 8,000 men in the pursuit, which means that he had more than 30,000 men left at hand.
It seems that the gap between the two sides has been narrowed.
"Trim! For seven days, I want the head of his King Qin! ”
In this battle, Yuan Gai Suwen was not only as simple as having no light on his face, it could even be said that Li Fangchen stepped on his face and gave him a hello!
Such a great humiliation, earth-shattering hatred, Yuangai Suwen can't wait to eat his flesh and smack his bones!
Then, he did the same, and with the advantage of the warship, Yuangai Suwen quickly ordered his subordinates to repair and return to Goguryeo at the same time.
Let his eldest son, Yuan boy, increase his troops to help, even if he can't defeat the Tang Dynasty, he will kill Li Fangchen.
For him, this incident is too unforgettable! It's so unforgettable!
If Goguryeo sent reinforcements again, it would take half a month to say the least.
During this period of time, Yuan Gai Suwen and Li Fangchen basically belonged to the state of scolding each other across the strait.
Yuangai Suwen didn't dare to go ashore easily, afraid of Li Fangchen's words.
Similarly, Li Fangchen was reluctant to build a ship and go to sea, and had a hard time with Yuangai Suwen.
There is one thing to say, the naval battle of the Tang Dynasty is really not the opponent of Goguryeo.
In recent years, Goguryeo's shipbuilding and naval warfare strength have soared, and a large part of the reason is that they rely on them to feed their wars.
Countless laborers and slaves led to the rapid development of various basic industries in Goguryeo.
The shortcomings are also huge, because the consumption of labor slaves is too serious, and the four countries under the Yuangai Suwen are not big countries.
It will soon be depleted, and the speed of development will be limited by then, so in order to maintain the growing Goguryeo at this stage, Yuangae Suwen can only continue to expand and attack other countries.
More and more land was swallowed and more and more slaves were captured.
Goguryeo will continue to grow stronger, and no matter what the Tang Dynasty, you can only look up to the existence of Goguryeo.
The reason why Yuangai Suwen launched the war against the Tang Dynasty was because of the shortage of labor slaves in the country, and he urgently needed more population to help Goguryeo carry out a new round of transformation.
It's a pity that he has stepped on the edge of the cliff, and defeat is only one step away from him.
"Dashuai, how do we go next?"
After winning a complete victory, Li Tai and the others became more and more excited, and they couldn't wait to destroy Yuangai Suwen next time.
Li Fangchen leaned on a chair with a very lazy expression.
"How? Wait! ”
"Wait? What are you waiting for? ”
"Wait for him to jump off the wall in a hurry!"
After suffering such a big loss, Li Fangchen believed that Yuan Gai Suwen would definitely not let him go.
Transferring troops from Goguryeo is a must, and in addition, Li Fangchen plans to wait for the battle report from Yingzhou.
Yuan Gai Suwen was dragged by himself, and he had a hunch that Li Shimin's side would soon win a big victory.
And Li Shimin at this moment, he just learned the news that Li Fangchen planned to swallow the 60,000 army of Yuan Gai Suwen.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud, so I was not happy.
Before, he was still feeling a headache for Yuangai Suwen's troops to send Pingzhou, but now he has some pity for Yuangai Suwen.
Qin Qiong and other veterans smiled and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin has made another great contribution!" ”
"It is worthy of my unicorn, with the demeanor of my year!"
After all, Li Fangchen is his son, and his son has made great contributions, so he, who is Lao Tzu, will naturally share honor and disgrace!
