"Emperor Tai, break through, if it goes on like this, our supplies will basically be consumed." Qin Qiong and Second Brother Qin didn't know how many times they had made suggestions to Lao Li, and the whole person was very uncalm.

"I will never surrender to those alien states, nor will I leave anyone alone!" Li Shimin stood on the side of the battleship, looked through the telescope at the dense warships of all sizes in the distance, and said calmly.

"Emperor Taishang, this is not a matter of surrender, at the moment we are surrounded at sea, and Your Majesty has not received any news, so we can't rush to support us, if we continue like this, sooner or later, we will consume the supplies, and in the end, the whole army will be wiped out!" Qin Qiong took a step forward and said in a deep voice.

"So what? The dangers I encountered in this life were more serious than this, and I didn't survive in the end. Li Shimin put down the binoculars in his hand, turned around and patted Lao Qin's shoulder with a smile: "Therefore, I will never leave, I will definitely fight those big cannibals to the death." ”

"Emperor Taishang......" Qin Qiong spoke again, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Qin Qiong's persuasion failed, the eldest grandson who went to sea with Li Shimin did not show any surprised expression, but just glanced at him, and then took the initiative to say last time: "Emperor Tai, our fresh water stock is running out, if we still can't get supplies within five days, then we can only wait for it to rain to store rainwater." ”

"Five days?" Li Shimin frowned slightly, turned his head and said to the old eunuch Fang who was about to lose his teeth: "Old Fang, go, bring the chart!" ”

"Whoa!" Old Eunuch Fang bowed slightly, and in a short time, a table had already been set up, and the charts that Li Shimin needed were also spread on it.

Li Shimin walked to the edge of the chart, stared at it for a long time, and after finding the location of his fleet, he pointed to the nearest black dot and said, "What kind of place is this?" How far is it from us? ”

"Nameless Island, it's about two days away from us!" Dugu Qingyun glanced at the chart and answered instantly.

In the end, the old guy who has been mixing in the sea for more than ten or twenty years has almost become half a living map, basically all the islands in the South China Sea Dugu Qingyun have gone up to see it, and he has also gone up to the island that Li Shimin is referring to, but he has not stayed too much.

After listening to Dugu Qingyun's answer, Li Shimin lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly raised his head again: "Send a signal to the lieutenant chi, let his fleet take the lead, break through the enemy's defense line, we ...... Go to the island! ”

If there is an island, there must be fresh water, and if there is fresh water, there must be a chance to survive, Li Shimin is not a person who easily admits defeat, when there were only more than 20,000 people around him, and the weapons were only rudimentary swords, he dared to calculate that his old man raised the flag to rebel, not to mention that he is now the emperor, with countless capable ministers and fierce generals, a standing army of about 2 million, and excellent weapons and equipment to the extent that the enemy cannot fight casually.

Of course, these refer to the power of Datang and have nothing to do with his current situation.

For the time being, he had twelve steel warships, and the rest of the warships were more than forty, with a total strength of about fifteen thousand, including some palace maids and eunuchs.

And his enemy, according to observation, there are no less than a thousand warships, a strength of 100,000 troops, and new enemies are constantly joining in the near future, such a clear contrast would have collapsed on ordinary people without backup.

However, Li Shimin did not have any confusion because of this, the identity of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty made him have no way to compromise with any enemy, in his opinion, he could die, but he could never surrender.

There are countless people in the Tang Dynasty behind him who are watching him, Li Chengqian is watching, the Manchu Dynasty is watching, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are watching, if he surrenders, even if he does not die, he will not have the face to go back to the Tang Dynasty to see the ancestors and ancestors.

Another point is that he sometimes even wonders if the current situation is whether Li Chengqian's kid is playing tricks, after all, with the current strength of Datang, if those big cannibals succeed, it is better to say, if they do not succeed, they will face the most tragic revenge of Datang.

No enemy will provoke Datang at this time, and it is by no means so easy to deal with Datang who can fight all over this continent without opponents, maybe they will be jealous of Datang and hate Datang, but if it is said that provoking Datang is really not done by wise people.

It's just that these are Li Shimin's secret guesses, and he didn't say them to anyone, and even Empress Changsun didn't know that he had such thoughts in his heart.

Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong were noncommittal to Li Shimin's orders, they were immediate generals, and they could be said to know nothing about naval warfare.

However, Dugu Qingyun's father and son hesitated slightly, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, if the breakout minister thinks that it is better to be led by the supply ship, then even if it is lost when breaking through, it will not affect the combat strength of the fleet." ”

"Then do as you say, in short, inform the lieutenant Chi in a while, let him get ready, and don't turn back and can't keep up with the rhythm of the fleet." Li Shimin only has to make decisions, and he doesn't care about what the specific tactics are.

It is Li Er's consistent style to hand over professional things to professional people, and it is one of the reasons why his subordinates can have so many supporters.

"Yes! Obey the order! Dugu Qingyun and his son glanced at each other, and their tone was extremely firm.

……

The South China Sea Fleet led by Yu Chi Baoqi actually did not expect to participate in such a war, and the sea of corpses and blood they killed in Malacca completely stunned the big cannibals.

But the strange thing is that although the big cannibals were beaten unspeakably, they just didn't mean to retreat, but they continued to harass every day, and although they couldn't be beaten, they were always pestering them.

At the beginning of this situation, Wei Chi Baoqi did not find out, and it was not until he fought for nearly a month that he realized that something was wrong, so he abandoned the big cannibals that were pestering him and prepared to turn back.

And at this time, two corpses drifting down the ocean current caught his attention.

It was the Tang sergeant who was guarding the island in the waters of Malacca, and it was said that they should never leave the island they were stationed on, let alone die in the sea.

So driven by this curiosity, Yu Chi Baoqi took the fleet, went up against the current, and checked all the way.

As a result, he found that all the islands where the Tang garrison was left had basically been slaughtered, and there were no more Tang soldiers stationed on the island, but they had become the world of the natives.

This situation made Wei Chi Baoqi vigilant, and did not directly retaliate against the natives on the island, but continued to investigate downward, and this investigation lasted for nearly a month, until he met Li Shimin, who was fighting against the big cannibals.
