In the eyes of the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom, the one in front of them did not look like a ship at all, but like a giant dragon that broke out of the sea!
The blue-black hull was filled with a mysterious, cold, strange, and cruel aura, and the smaller crossbow arrows seemed to be illuminated by the ship's firelight.
Looking at the dragon that was getting closer and closer to them, after a wave of attacks from the Suzaku, the ships of the Wa Kingdom had already lost their ability to move, so they had to watch the dragon run over their two warships.
Looking at the overwhelming and cruel cold of the giant ship, the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom had no choice but to jump into the sea from the side of the ship when the warship could not move, trying to avoid the impact of the giant ship.
With a bang, the giant dragon crushed over like a mountain, and instantly knocked the Japanese warship into the distance, as the giant ship continued to move forward without slowing down, the Japanese warship finally took the initiative to hit the Suzaku head-on after several huge waves, and immediately scattered like paper paste, and a large piece of wood floated on the sea, and some black human heads were at a loss under the light of the fire.
And all this in front of him does not mean how strong the Suzaku is, the Suzaku is strong, but it is impossible to be so strong and still intact after the collision.
It all depended on the Suzaku strikes with the heavy crossbow just now, as well as the weakness of the warship itself.
The strange thing about the warships of the Wa Kingdom is that their ships look very good in appearance, and the number of people on a ship can even reach three or five hundred.
But these warships that look mighty and extraordinary, when they were built, they did not have a keel, and they completely relied on the hull to support the overall structure, and at the same time, there was no watertight cabin and keel, and the center of gravity was relatively high, and the ability to resist wind and waves was very poor, so they were completely broken up by this collision.
And even if it doesn't fall apart, plus he doesn't separate a lot of watertight compartments at the bottom of the ship like the Datang ships, once one of the watertight compartments enters the water, as long as the other watertight cabins don't enter the water, it can also ensure that the ship will not be silent in the shortest possible time.
And the warship of the Japanese Kingdom did not have a watertight compartment at all, so even if it was not knocked apart, it could be watched by the seawater, and it was only a matter of time before it sank into the large hole in the hull of the ship hit by the heavy crossbow.
But this battle was the first battle of the Suzaku, and Cui Zhibian naturally hoped to write the perfect first battle exploit for the Suzaku in the merit book, so he did not hesitate to use a heavy crossbow.
However, this heavy crossbow is not yet loaded with a thunderbolt, if it is loaded, it will become a trequebus thunderbolt as His Highness said, and its arquebus thunder will not be extinguished when it encounters water and wind, as long as it hits the enemy ship within a given time, it will cause an explosion, so that the entire cabin or deck will be torn apart immediately, causing absolute damage to the enemy.
As the two warships of the Japanese Kingdom fell apart one after another, the Mengchong boats on both sides of the Suzaku had already gone down to the sea with dozens of soldiers and began to hunt down the Japanese soldiers who showed their heads on the sea.
The sound of fighting on the sea was far less intense and shocking than the sound of fighting on land, and the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom were still struggling in the sea, so they had no power to fight back, so in the midst of crying and shouting, the whole sea fell into silence for about half an hour.
The other two giant ships did not stop at all, and when the Suzaku attacked, they had slowly bypassed from both sides and continued their way north.
The three giant ships continued to move forward slowly, and the two warships of the Wa Kingdom disappeared into this world without a sound.
Dawn came quietly, a round of red sun on the sea was slowly dragged up from the sea level in the distance, and the three giant ships of Datang, which had rested for less than two hours, were like three tigers on the sea, and the sheltered harbor took a slight nap, and then continued to move forward again, heading towards Hakata Port and the Seto Inland Sea.
And at this moment, behind the three giant ships, I don't know when, a layer of ships like a mirage suddenly appeared, looking at the familiar layer by layer of giant ships, Cui Zhifen snatched the binoculars of the soldiers next to him, looked at them with a shocked expression, and then put down the binoculars and muttered: "Dragon boat? How did it end up here? What the hell is going on? Immediately fire the arrow to warn them not to go any further, and explain their identity! β
"Whoosh ......."
Three piercing arrows rang out on the sea, not only alarming the dragon boats behind the three giant ships, but also alarming the fishermen of Wakuni who were preparing to go out to sea to fish in Hakata Port!
"Little devils, listen to you...... Wrong, it's too deep into the play. Li Hong took down the big horn in his mouth, took the blindfold in the hand of the lawless man next to him, who looked much better, buckled it to one eye, and then raised the big horn in his hand and shouted: "Get back!" Today, you are not allowed to go out to sea to fish, and if you come to the housekeeper, you will say that your grandfather and I are here. β
Li Chunfeng's old face was flushed, he handed over the Xuanwu to Zhang Yi just now, through the observation of the past few days, Li Chunfeng has a deeper understanding of Zhang Yi, knowing that this is a rare naval combat talent, and every tactic Cui Zhizhi made last night was guessed by him.
Therefore, he hurriedly passed through the boat and ran to the Fuzhu, seeing His Highness shouting at the door of the house with such a proud force, and he really wanted to jump into the sea and drown with an embarrassed expression.
"Your Highness, can you listen to the minister first?" Li Chunfeng gasped, and ran from the Xuanwu in the distance to the Fuzhu in one breath, which was also a very laborious thing.
"Huh? What's wrong? What do you want to say? Li Hong put down the horn and looked at Li Chunfeng with an innocent expression.
"This ...... This...... This is unknown to our teacher, and now it is not appropriate to block the door of people's homes like this, right? Li Chunfeng looked at the small fishing boats dotted in the distance, turned around and ran back one by one, and said with a helpless sigh.
"Huh? The siege of the Wa Kingdom still has to be famous? Li Hong was a little confused, just now I always thought that he was the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, although it was a bit of a drama, but it felt very cool, and he hit the door of the little devil's house, which is rare in the 5,000-year history of China.
"Your Royal Highness, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and now you are so rashly intruding, it is unreasonable to say that it is unreasonable, if the Wa Kingdom sends an envoy to inform Your Majesty, your situation is ......." Li Chunfeng spread his hands, and he didn't know why His Royal Highness wanted to wear this blindfold and pretend to be a one-eyed dragon.
"You're right, I'm careless, don't you know when the ship sank? With this negotiation, it is said that their fishing boat rammed and sank our warship, which is a naked show of force to our Datang and contempt for my Datang, and now Datang has come to seek justice. The one-eyed dragon thought for a moment and said decisively.
When Li Chunfeng heard Li Hong's words, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell off the deck: "This is okay?" β
"What then? It's all here, you can't really just show off your power and go back, right? Li Hong spread his hands and said.
And history is such a similar coincidence, this time Li Hong's arrival, just like the Tang Dynasty in this period in history, made a completely identical reaction.
Historically, the Tang Dynasty, because of the Battle of the Baekgang Estuary in Baekje, helped Baekje fight against the Wa Kingdom, and finally killed and sank all the warships and soldiers of the Wa Kingdom, and then went to the Wa Kingdom from the northern route, showing off his might and intimidating the Wa Kingdom.
It's just that the political means at that time were not complete enough, and the Tang Dynasty ran away in vain at its own expense, and there was no substantial damage to the defeated Wa State.
At that time, Li Hong was only eight or nine years old, Li Zhi and his dragon mother had just overthrown the Guanlong Group headed by the eldest grandson Wuji, and it was the time to consolidate the imperial power, and it was impossible for the eight or nine-year-old children to interfere.
Moreover, Li Hong was busy with everyone in Taiyi City at that time, and naturally he didn't know too much about these things, even if he knew a lot, he couldn't remember such a thing at that time.
So today's Li Hong, when he went to the Wa Kingdom, he didn't think at all that he needed an excuse to conquer the Wa Kingdom!
I always thought that I could casually come up with a hundred excuses to make the Japanese people compensate and atone for their sins, so I didn't think about the need for a famous teacher at all.
"Your Highness, we don't have enough food and grass, if you think like this now, this will definitely not be able to make the people of the Japanese country bow down in two or three months, but...... We are too few in number, we can only surround us, and we can't go ashore, we can't afford it. Only then did Li Chunfeng remember why His Highness suddenly stopped the advance of the three giant ships at sea yesterday, it turned out that he had already prepared the idea of blackmailing the people of the country with a large sum of silver.
"It's okay, you didn't bring enough food and grass, but I brought enough, even if it wasn't enough, then let the supply ship make a few more round-trip trips to Baekje, and it wasn't a long distance." Li Hong looked back behind him, wanting to see if his back had arrived.
So this time I turned around, I saw that the Vermilion Bird had turned around and went out at some point, and in the distance, the ship that looked obviously the unique style of the Tang Dynasty was hurriedly waving the flag, indicating that it was its own person.
"Let Cui Zhizhi stop that idiot, that's the dragon boat of the former Sui Yang Guang! I transferred it this time! Li Hong kicked the helplessness that was still stunned in front of him, and said hurriedly.
Someone, who was shirtless, looked at the two sides and didn't mean to be too tense, then he came back to his senses and said to Li Chunfeng: "I know that you are bent on returning to Quanzhou now, and I can't wait to take those two warships with you immediately and carry out your great voyage." But! β
Li Hong's expression suddenly became solemn, and he looked at Li Chunfeng and said, "But if! If you sail with your current thinking and awareness, it is a complete waste of my Datang's manpower, material resources, and financial resources! β
Looking at Li Hong, who was looking at one eye, his face suddenly became solemn, and Li Chunfeng had to put away his mind and said intently: "Please teach me Your Highness!" β
