Chapter 176: Defection
"Want to see it?" Xie Feiyu handed the monocular in his hand to Chachai.
Chachai put the tubular thing in front of his eyes, and suddenly felt that the army of King Hongdu had driven in front of his eyes, and the frightened Chachai hurriedly moved the telescope away, and the fleet of King Hongdu changed back to its original position, and so on several times, Chachai understood the second of the telescope.
"The army of King Hongdu has twenty or thirty thousand men, and the number of ships is several times that of yours, why don't your generals let all the warships meet the enemy, but only use half of the ships and men." Chachai asked Xie Feiyu suspiciously, and on Xie Feiyu's body, he didn't see any weapons, except for a triangular yellow flag.
"The ships sent now are too much, even if only half of them go, they will be enough to defeat them, haven't you noticed? Our ships are faster than them, and they don't even have a chance to escape? Xie Feiyu said indifferently.
Thinking that the Chengqian defeated thousands of bandits on Hongze Lake with only one boat, the current new warships are not weaker than the first-generation warships, how can there be an accident when the king of Hongdu is cleaned up, naval warfare has always been a task of fighting equipment and technology, and the number of people plays a very limited role.
The fleets of the two sides got closer, and the subordinates of King Hongdu finally saw the flags on the big ships that were half-encircled, when did the ships of the Tang Dynasty arrive in the Jiaozhi Sea? Perhaps only the curly-haired and blue-eyed Tubo people seemed to understand something, and the king of Hongdu didn't want to fight with the Tang Dynasty in an unclear way, although the number of people and ships on the other side did not seem to be as large as his own, he ordered people to wave the flag, which seemed to mean that the two sides wanted to communicate, and sent a small clipper to rush out of the formation and approach the big ship of the Tang army.
"Left chord No. 1 gun, forty-five degree angle, flowering shell, loading." Yang Lin took out his mobile phone. After some calculations, he ordered. It was better to strike targets in a straight line, and he didn't even bother to call other gun emplacements to prepare.
"Brother Chachai, cover your ears." Xie Feiyu ran to the No. 1 gun position, the small yellow order flag in his hand had been raised, and the other hand quickly stuffed two balls of cotton wool into his ears, the boss with his mouth open, and his eyes were fixed on the command flag on the Yanglin command platform.
"Open fire." Yang Lin's words stopped, the command flag on the command platform fell, the yellow flag in Xie Feiyu's hand also fell, and a soldier with a larger cotton regiment in his ear quickly lit the lead exposed at the barrel of the cannon. The whole process is only about two seconds.
"Bang."
The loud noise was accompanied by thick smoke, Chachai only felt that the air shook, and his ears roared violently, he didn't take Xie Feiyu's words just now seriously, until the moment the Shenwei cannon was fired, he didn't know what these long steel pipes were for, and when he looked at the sea at a hundred meters in front of him, the small boat didn't know when it turned into a pile of broken wood pieces floating around.
"What, what is this? Why did the Tang army do it to us. "The wisdom of King Hongdu is obviously not enough. If he was smart, he wouldn't have become a puppet of the wolf-like Tubo people, and the blue-eyed curly-haired man beside him couldn't give him any explanation, they already knew that the Tang people had mastered a powerful weapon. It was with these things that they defeated the Turks, who were as powerful as the Tibetans.
A moment after the boat was shattered, the Turkic fleet was completely within the range of the Tang warships, and without the command of Yang Lin, all the combat ships were loaded with shells.
"Whoa."
The huge command flag on the Lingnan No. 1 command ship danced. The smell of gunpowder began to fill the entire sky, and Chachai became smarter this time, and no longer looked curiously at the east and west. He covered his ears tightly with his hands and stared at King Hongdu's fleet, he wanted to see King Hongdu's fleet being blown to pieces like the small boat just now.
"Boom"
The cannon is endless, a group of seven battleships composed of the Tang army team is detouring in the distance, their task is to go around the rear of the enemy to attack, cut off their retreat, Dou Yingshan is lucky to get the command of one of the battleships in this group, and he ordered his cronies to arrange this ship at the end of this group of battleships, for this new type of warship, there are not many good sailors who can control zhì, after all, they have only learned to sail for a few months, and they do not have the calculation ability of Yanglin, but Dou Yingshan is different, It has not been a day or two since he studied how to seize the ship and escape, he has already figured out the relationship between the range and angle of the Shenwei cannon, and called his cronies, they have distributed the sword equipment in the cabin, on this new type of warship, there is no need to use the sword at all, in order to be more conducive to action, the soldiers do not wear swords at all, and in the absence of swords, how can those soldiers who don't know why be Dou Yingshan's opponents.
"Brothers, Jiaolong went out to sea, the day of soaring into the sky is today, I will gather them in the cabin in a while, everyone will kill them together, and then use the Shenwei cannon to launch a surprise attack on the other ships, do not seek to sink them, as long as their hulls are damaged, they will not dare to rush after us, thirty miles, as long as they escape thirty miles away, he will not know our direction, the main team does not know the situation here, when those surfing and windsurfing boats are dispatched, we have long not known where to run." Dou Yingshan said excitedly. In the cabin, there were more than two hundred clan brothers and brothers he brought from Hebei, the number accounted for more than half of the crew of this battleship, these people had no wives and daughters, their relatives were all killed by Li Er, for the imperial court, they only hated, they hibernated under the leadership of Dou Yingshan, waiting for the opportunity, and now, the opportunity has finally come.
"it"
As arranged by Dou Yingshan, he occupied the absolute command of this battleship, and all the soldiers who were unfortunately assigned to this battleship were cleaned up by him, and now he unconsciously adjusted the position of the guns on this battleship from the rear, and ordered the ignition and fire without hesitation.
Ji Wutong squinted his eyes at the devastating war in front of him, he had to admit that Yanglin's ability to play with gunpowder far surpassed their gods, and he was even fortunate to see Yanglin control the magic weapon from the sky, he finally lived up to the gods, in fact, he was not of god-man blood, each generation of god-man people walking in the world is not god-man blood, they are the best qualifications selected by the previous generation of gods and people in the world, and they are the most suitable boy to practice martial arts and run for the gods-human race, After solving the problem of the spread of the gods and people, he will be free, just like Dou Ying Mountain, which has now damaged six warships and sailed away.
"How? I'm not wrong! The one qiē insisted on by the gods and men was simply unreasonable. Ji Wutong smiled at the seven dwarfs.
These dwarfs are the real gods and people, the so-called bloodline theory has harmed them for a lifetime, such an ugly appearance, can only make the goddess in their hearts look at them with funny eyes, and now they have begun to question the bloodline theory to hate the bloodline theory, fortunately, they met the person from outside the sky, it was he who rescued them, from this moment on, they already have a grateful heart for Yanglin.
Chachai couldn't believe that the one in front of him was true, since the more than four hundred Shenwei cannons roared together, there were non-stop ships of King Hongdu being sunk, smaller ships only needed one or two cannons, and larger ships were just a few more hits, and in less than a quarter of an hour, King Hongdu began to shout retreat, shouting hoarsely.
"Pursuit, at most half an hour, the person in charge of bypassing and intercepting can block their way and wipe them all here."
Yang Lin didn't have much interest in this slaughtering war, winning this was just the beginning of his plan to surrender and recruit, the more beautiful he won, the less resistance there would be to the things behind, anyway, Chachai, who was stunned on the deck and couldn't move, had already been shocked by this momentum.
"Bang Bang"
The sound of artillery came from time to time on the sea, hundreds of ships of the size of King Hongdu, once they began to escape, those Tang warships with a hit rate not as good as Yanglin's command ship could not do anything about them for a while, and from time to time there were one or two ships that were unfortunately shot, the sergeants under King Hongdu were wailing, and the Tang army did not pay attention to them, and continued to chase forward.
The fleet responsible for interception did not arrive at the designated place, which made Yang Lin very annoyed, King Hongdu's fleet finally had a chance to disperse, and the Tang army, which was fleeing in all directions, was really difficult to pursue, first, because the Tang army's artillery fire was not accurate in the face of a single target, and second, there were too many targets, once they pursued one, the rest could escape, King Hongdu had been pulled by the blue-eyed and curly-haired man onto a sailboat with a smaller ship, because his huge seven-masted sailing ship was now being pursued by the Lingnan No. 1 command ship, Every time the cannon of the No. 1 ship sounded, the largest warship in Jiaozhi had to raise pieces of wood, and even the largest ship could not withstand the constant tearing of the cannon fire.
The wisdom of the curly-haired and blue-eyed man made King Hongdu lucky to escape, and there are not many people who are as lucky as him, two or three hundred warships, nearly 30,000 troops, less than five thousand escaped from the ascension, in Chachai's opinion, this is already a complete victory, but Yang Lin doesn't think so, and even he thinks it's a failure, seeing the six battleships whose hulls were damaged, Yang Lin even kicked Peng Jian who was kneeling on the ground over, and someone fled with a complete battleship equipped with all kinds of gunpowder shells and Shenwei cannons, What kind of changes this will bring to overseas forces is something that Yanglin cannot predict.
