Chapter 386: Chapter 386 Ballista Town South China Sea
How to fight?
Although Guangzhou City is bordered by the sea and the river, the shipbuilding technology of Guangzhou City is definitely not as good as that of the mainland of Datang.
What's more, these ships were built by Li Chengqian in accordance with the principle of modern sea ships and with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, and the slaves captured from Northern Xue Yantuo alone threw in 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it took nearly a year to build 80 such ships.
Such a big ship has not been seen with their own eyes, and these people in Lingnan dare not even think that there will be such a big ship in the world.
In the face of such a big ship, even the Tang Dynasty two years ago had no way to fight, let alone these fangs in Lingnan.
Feng Zhiyu watched the six Tang ships slowly sail into the mouth of the Pearl River, although the speed was slow, but they were extremely smooth, and there was no sign of chaos at all, so he was directly dumbfounded.
The group of fangman chieftains and elders behind him were even more shocked by the Datang ship.
Feng Zhiyu watched the six big boats rushing up the Pearl River, his eyes were red, first, he hated that there was no way to deal with these ships, and second, he was really unwilling to see these ships passing.
After a while, I only heard Feng Zhiyu gritting his teeth and saying, "I can't let them pass!" ”
There was no response, Feng Zhiyu only heard the river surging.
"I said I couldn't let them pass!!"
Feng Zhiyu raised his voice and shouted again.
Then, without waiting for everyone's reaction, Feng Zhiyu turned around and looked at the group of fangren chieftains with red eyes, waved his hands and shouted:
"Can't let them pass!!"
Several chiefs had already calmed down at this time, and one by one they looked at Feng Zhiyu, who was crazy, expressionless and silent.
Don't let the Don ship pass?
What can they do with only a few bamboo rafts or canoes?
Let's go up and die?
No one paid attention to him, and Feng Zhiyu gradually regained his senses.
Instead, he looked gloomily at the chiefs.
Some chiefs were secretly angry when they saw this, and they were even thinking that if they couldn't do it, they would expose the matter of his attempt to rob the Datang ship to Datang, and borrow the Datang hoe to go to Feng's door.
"We are not their opponents when they do it on the river, but as long as they enter Guangzhou City, who is not in charge?"
After a while, the chief of the Jibin tribe said with bad intentions.
Feng Zhiyu glanced at him, and estimated in his heart the feasibility of doing it in Guangzhou City.
After a while, he hesitated a little and said: "It's easy to get rid of him in the city, but if the news leaks, Datang may not order us to quell the rebellion anymore......"
When all the chiefs heard this, they were all overjoyed, this Feng Zhiyu really had a problem with his brain, and he didn't want to think that once he made a move in Guangzhou City, Datang would inevitably think that the Feng family was rebelling and would definitely send troops to conquer Lingnan.
When the time comes, they will hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and the Feng family, who will bear the brunt, will inevitably be shattered.
Thinking of this, the chief of Nanshan, who had not spoken all this time, walked up to Feng Zhiyu and whispered: "Fourth prince, if we can't make up our minds, not only will we not be able to get the big ship of the Tang Dynasty, but we will also hand over 200,000 stone of rice......
Feng Zhiyu's eyes were red when he heard this, and he looked at the six big boats on the river, gritted his teeth and said: "Although I did it in Guangzhou City, the boats on the security guard's side were also about to be robbed, so as not to leak the news." ”
When the chief of the Karabu heard this, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by the other four chiefs.
"Hmph, the big ship obtained this time belongs to my Feng family, if the Tang Dynasty sends troops to come, I will go to sea by boat." Feng Zhiyu added.
As soon as these words came out, the fangren chiefs and elders present didn't know which tendon Feng Zhiyu had gone wrong, knowing that the Tang Dynasty might call, and they would rob the Tang fleet, so why bother.
After the direction was determined, several people began to discuss how to proceed.
At night, we led people back to Guangcheng to kill the Tang army in the city first, and early tomorrow morning we took the Tang Dynasty ship to Bao'an to sweep the remaining Tang army and captured all the warships.
"Bang"
A loud noise came from the river, and everyone looked up, and it turned out that a huge log had floated from the upper reaches and hit the boat of Datang.
Everyone saw that the six giant ships of the Tang Dynasty had already entered the Pearl River, and their location was just right in balance with Guanlong Island.
The river is relatively narrow and the current is more rapid, and although the big ship moves forward steadily, it is obviously difficult to turn around in such a waterway, so it is hit by a giant tree that drifts with the current.
Feng Zhiyu looked at the ecstasy on his face.
Haha laughed and said: "I only saw that his ship was big, but I forgot that this is not the sea, and such a big ship can't turn around here."
This is really a dragon swimming in shallow water, and you can play shrimp! Get ready to strike. ”
Although the Fangren chieftain was disappointed that he could not lead the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Feng clan, he was unwilling to give up his immediate interests, so he ordered the soldiers of all ethnic groups to take the bamboo rafts and canoes that had been prepared long ago, and launch from the north end of Guanlong Island, which was just upstream, and could directly collide with the Tang ships.
------------------------
Li Ke and Feng Zhidai were standing on the second boat, looking at the scenery along the way.
Although the ship in front of it was collided with a giant tree, because the ship was very strong, and the sails were strong and windy, it did not cause any impact, and the group of six large ships continued to sail slowly towards the city of Guangzhou.
Li Ke watched the scenery on Guanlong Island with a telescope, and vaguely saw that there were some dark shadows on Guanlong Island who didn't know what they were, so he couldn't help but stare at it carefully, and saw that the shadows in the lychee forest seemed to be all people.
"General Feng, do you see that person on Guanlong Island?" Li Ke handed the telescope to Feng Zhidai with a puzzled expression.
Feng Zhidai took the telescope and looked at the place Li Ke was pointing.
Feng Zhidai couldn't help but be startled when he saw it, although Guanlong Island was only a small island in the heart of the river, but because it was very close to Guangzhou City, the Feng family had never allowed nearby fangs to station.
But when he saw it, the lychee forest was actually blue, Li Ke didn't know what it was, but he knew that most of the fangs near Guangzhou City were wrapped in green kudzu and wore green clothes, and the cyan in the lychee forest was the fangs.
He couldn't imagine that these people were summoned by his younger brother to rob the Tang Dynasty, thinking that his father had an accident, and Guangzhou City had been captured by the fangs, and his face turned white with fear when he thought of this.
"What the hell is going on General Feng Island?" Li Ke saw that Feng Zhidai's face changed, and he hurriedly asked.
Before Feng Zhidai could answer, he heard loud shouts from the boat in front of him, and hurriedly looked up to see dozens of bamboo rafts and canoes floating on the river rushing towards the Tang fleet.
Further ahead, there are many bamboo rafts and canoes rushing out of Guanlong Island.
Li Ke knew that someone was going to rob them, so he hurriedly ordered: "Prepare for war!" ”
Yu Jian, the chamberlain behind him, shouted, although the soldiers on the ship have not fought since they went to sea, but in the end, they are the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and they have all received strict training on the ship.
It's just that although the crossbow arrows killed a lot of people on the bamboo rafts and canoes close to the Tang fleet, those bamboo rafts and canoes still rushed towards the big ship by the current.
The big ship was hit, "bang, bang", and it couldn't move forward for a while.
Feng Zhiyu and Chief Fangman on Guanlong Island were all in good spirits when they saw it, and they didn't care about the heavy casualties at the moment, they just thought that the ants would bite the elephant to death, and kept ordering more people to go into the water on a raft.
After the initial panic, Li Ke and the Tang generals on the six ships saw that these small bamboo rafts could not help them, so they gradually stabilized their minds, and carefully watched the situation here while commanding and resisting and trying to find a way to counterattack.
"The fangs of the capital Lingnan who are hiding on Wangye Island use the trebuchet on the ship to drop gunpowder on the island, and then send troops to the island when they are taking care of themselves." Feng Zhidai suggested to Li Ke.
Hearing this, Li Ke looked at both sides again, and confirmed that because the water surface of this section of the Pearl River was extremely wide, their big boat walked in the middle near the side of Guanlong Island in the center of the river.
Even if there is an ambush on both sides of the river, the boat will not be able to hit it for a while, so you can concentrate on dealing with the enemy on Guanlong Island at this time.
According to Feng Zhidai's suggestion, he ordered the boats in front to continue to resist, the bamboo rafts and canoes rushing upstream, and the four boats behind them approached Guanlong Island to throw gunpowder.
The order was passed on, and the four large ships behind slowly approached Guanlong Island.
Everyone on the island couldn't help but be overjoyed at first sight, in the eyes of Feng Zhiyu and others, Tang Jun wanted to go to the island to meet them in a short battle.
At this time, there were tens of thousands of people in ambush on the island, and how many people could be loaded in the four big ships of the Tang Army, all of them were not enough to kill.
Looking at the big ship getting closer and closer, Feng Zhiyu and the others seemed to see fat meat being sent to their mouths.
"Let all the brethren go to the river to meet them, and when the boat breaks anchor, they rush up." Feng Zhiyu ordered in high spirits.
"Okay!"
"Obey!"
……
……
The fangs on the island were also overjoyed when they heard this, and rushed to the river, for fear that the good things would be robbed by others.
The first four large ships also had telescopes, and several generals used binoculars to carefully observe the situation on the island while directing the big ships to approach Guanlong Island.
Seeing the fangs on the island rushing to the river, I was overjoyed, and said in my heart: You can save a lot of gunpowder by getting together.
Therefore, several generals ordered not to throw gunpowder first, and then throw Zheng gunpowder when more people gathered by the riverside, hoping to kill more enemies.
Li Ke commanded two huge ships to block the bamboo rafts and canoes that went down the river, while slowly sailing north, preparing to go around to the north of Guanlong Island, and bombard the place where the fangs stored the bamboo rafts and canoes with gunpowder.
On the island, Feng Zhiyu and the chief of the fangren saw that Tang Junqian's donkey skills were exhausted, so they no longer hid, and went to the river one after another.
As soon as I walked to the riverside, I saw four big ships of the Tang Army flying out of black shadows and smashing towards the riverside of Guanlong Island.
Before I could see what was flying, I saw a black shadow falling, the firelight by the river flickered and black smoke was rising, and the fangs who were standing by the river waiting to rob in the rumbling thunder screamed and flew into the sky.
Thinking that it was a divine punishment from heaven, they collapsed to the ground one by one, their hearts were broken, they were dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to resist at all.
Until the Tang army landed on the island, more than 20,000 fangs were all kneeling on the ground, and no one dared to resist.
Li Ke easily disarmed these fangs, and the chiefs of the five fangs also handed over Feng Zhiyu.
At this time, the fangs in Lingnan believed in ghosts and gods the most, and when they saw the gunpowder like Tianwei, they didn't dare to think about rebelling against the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally wouldn't hide it for Feng Zhiyu.
After everything was cleaned up, Li Ke ordered the fangs on Guanlong Island to burn all the bamboo rafts and canoes they had made, and then cut down a sparsely wooded area in the north of the island, revealing an uncovered area.
The fangs were ordered to concentrate here, and six large ships stopped on the opposite river to keep an eye on them, daring to move lightly and immediately throw gunpowder.
Li Ke knew that he couldn't force Feng to rebel at this time, so he handed Feng Zhiyu over to Feng Zhidai and asked their brothers to go to Guangzhou City to see what Feng An's attitude was.
With the Feng brothers returning to Guangzhou City, the details of this battle also spread in Guangcheng, and many of the fangs of the Lingnan tribes had eyeliner in Guangzhou City, so they also all knew that the Tang army had a divine thunder in his hand, and he could cast heavenly punishments, and the five coalition forces were killed when the thunder went down......
Such words spread more and more, making all the departments in Lingnan mention that the Tang army is like a god, and they no longer dare to resist.
Feng Ang was almost angry to death after learning about this, and hurriedly took a boat to meet Li Ke in person, took 300,000 stones of rice, and bundled Feng Zhiyu to Li Ke for disposal.
Li Ke naturally would not kill Feng Zhiyu again after getting the food, but just sent Feng Zhiyu and the rice back together and handed them over to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian for disposal.
