The speed of the warship is very slow, about forty or fifty miles per hour, converted into hours, that is, it runs ten kilometers per hour, and the speed can only reach six or seven knots, but after all, this is steam power, which can run for a long time, unlike ships that run by wind, if there is no wind, they can only run by manpower.

The warship sailing in the Yangtze River has attracted the attention of many people, but no one dares to approach, once such a large warship touches, it is absolutely no bones!

It's just that when passing by the Chu State, the Chu State still sent a naval army to block it, and the general of the naval army saw the ships of the Chu State coming to block it, and immediately asked: "King Ning, shall we fight or not?" ”

Li Yao said: "Shout first, let the opposing navy get out of the way, otherwise it will be eliminated directly!" ”

When the Chu Navy saw the five warships, they didn't dare to stop it at all, such a behemoth was made of pure iron, just bumping into it, their own warships would be smashed, and it was impossible to attack it!

At this time, the Chu Navy saw a small boat rowing over, and hurriedly greeted it, and the small boat was the Yiguo Navy Army, and the general of the Chu State Navy asked: "What do you mean by this trip?" What is the purpose of passing through my Chu country! ”

The scout said: "Our King Ning said, we are just passing through the Chu State, bothering you to give way, if not, then we will only see you on the battlefield!" ”

The general of the Chu State Navy said, "Are you sure that King Ning has no hostility towards our Chu State? ”

The scout said, "My word has arrived, let it be your business not to give way, you can do it yourself!" Then he stepped into the boat and rowed back to the warship!

At this time, the deputy general of the Chu State Navy asked: "Commander, what should we do!" ”

The main general thought for a while and said: "The enemy army is now strong, give way to them first, but follow them closely to see what their purpose is, if they don't stay in our waters, we will ignore them, once they stop, immediately prepare for battle!" ”

The deputy general looked at the five behemoths in the distance, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Commander, we must get the support of the infantry general, such a big warship, we can't stop it at all!" ”

The chief general said: "Your task is to follow closely, and if they stop the ship, send a signal, but I hope they are not hostile to our country, otherwise the country is in danger!" ”

Li Yao watched the navy of Chu get out of the way, waved his big hand, and shouted: "The whole army is set off, the target is Li Guo!" ”

The warship ran for two days and left the waters of the Chu State and came to the waters on the border of the Jiang State and the Li State!

The general of the navy asked: "King Ning, we have entered the waters of the Li State, when will we launch an attack on the Li State?" ”

Li Yao said: "We can't play the role of our warships on this river, we still have to go to the sea, and when we come to the sea area south of the Li Kingdom, we will attack its deep-water port, and the infantry will also land there!" ”

The general of the navy commanded: "Yes, King Ning!" ”

Although the country of Li has been developed for hundreds of years, there are still a lot of wild places, and more than a dozen ports have flourished and developed, so although the royal family of Li attaches great importance to Li Yao's navy, but also did not make particularly severe defensive preparations, because most of his taxes rely on the taxes obtained from the trade of more than a dozen ports, if strict military preparations are made, it will inevitably affect their own taxes!

Another point is that there is nothing worth occupying in the country of Li, the population of the country of Li is only more than two million people, although the rice is harvested twice a year, but if it is richer, the Jiang country next to it is the richest!

Therefore, the Li royal family thought that Li Yao was just passing by, and just sent hundreds of sailors and two or three warships to follow Li Yao from afar!

But when Li Yao brought the army to stay at the port of Li, King Li panicked and hurriedly came to the port with the army!

Li Yao couldn't fight the nameless battle either, so Li Yao wrote a letter and passed it on to King Li!

King Li soon received the letter, and after opening it, he said angrily: "Li Yao'er, the deception is too much, the whole army is ready, and when Li Yao's army comes, he will beat me hard!" ”

Prime Minister Li Guo picked up the letter, only to see that it was written, I have taken a fancy to more than ten ports of yours, and I want to buy them all, one port is 10,000 taels of silver, if you don't want to, then I will come and get it myself!

After reading the letter, Prime Minister Li Guo also said angrily: "I think this Li Yao's purchase of the port is fake, and it is true that he wants to take the opportunity to invade my Li Kingdom!" ”

King Li said: "Why don't you say that Li Yao didn't go to invade the rich Jiang Kingdom next to him and come to attack our Li Kingdom's idea?" I haven't messed with him before! ”

Prime Minister Li Guocheng thought for a moment and said: "I analyze that he has taken a fancy to our port, otherwise he would not have crossed the border to attack us!" ”

King Li said: "He wants it if he likes it? My country of Li relied on these dozen ports to collect taxes, and he took them all, what will I eat! ”

Prime Minister Li said: "King Li, don't worry, there are strong walls behind these dozen ports, and they are fighting across borders, and the logistics will definitely not be able to keep up, as long as we hold on for a while, Li Yao will definitely retreat without a fight!" ”

King Li sighed and said, "More than a dozen ports are ready for defense, so how much tax revenue will I lose!" ”

Prime Minister Li said: "King Li, now is a special period, and losses are inevitable, fortunately, the wind and rain have been smooth in the past few years, and our people have gained a lot, even if the war will not be affected too much!" ”

King Li nodded and said, "Okay, close the port and actively fight against Li Yao!" ”

Because the population of Li is relatively small, there are only 100,000 sailors and 100,000 foot soldiers!

It's just that looking at Li Yao's five warships, the role of the navy is basically gone, no matter how many warships you come, you only need to crash into it, and you can be smashed in half!

When Li Yao saw that the port was closed, the soldiers of the State of Li were ready for battle, and said with a smile: "It seems that King Li rejected my request, so only I forcibly seized it, and the artillery was ready, aiming at the city wall to bombard me!" ”

Five warships lined up one after another, aiming at the wall behind the harbor!

There were ten cannons on each side of the warship, and five warships were fifty cannons, and they began to bombard one after another!

The quality of the city wall built near the beach is not good, and the foundation is unstable, and the five warships only used two rounds of artillery bombardment to beat the city wall to the point of falling apart, and the city wall is rotten in many places!

When the soldiers of the Li State saw this situation, they were completely stunned, and the city wall was broken!

Li Yao saw that the city wall was broken, and said, "Before the troop carrier, the foot soldiers have landed!" ”

After so many days of drifting on the water, the foot soldiers in the troop transport ship were very uncomfortable, and basically had no combat power, Li Yao also knew this situation, so he just asked the army to assemble in the port, and waited for two days to rest before officially attacking the city!

But when there was a dense Yiguo army on the port, the soldiers on the city wall were completely panicked, and the main general saw that at least 100,000 troops were gathered underground, and there were only 10,000 defenders on his side, and it was impossible to win no matter how he fought, and now the city walls were rotten like this, and he would definitely die if he defended it, so the main general shouted: "The army retreats and enters the county town behind to wait for help!" ”

When Li Yao saw through the telescope that the Li army had withdrawn, he said with a smile: "It seems that the soldiers of the Li State were frightened by our artillery, but the power of the cannons placed on the warship is indeed much more powerful than ordinary artillery!" It's not surprising to be scared away! ”

So he said to the infantry general: "The army has entered the county town to rest, and in three days it will attack the next port!" ”

When King Li heard that Li Yao had conquered the first port, he hurriedly asked, "How is it possible, even if Li Yao is powerful, it is impossible for him to beat a county seat in one day!" ”

The general of Li Guo said: "Li Yao has a particularly fierce firearm, but in just a few strokes, the city walls have been broken, and we really can't hold it!" ”

There were also many spies in the port, and King Li also received the news that the city wall was broken, and hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, what should we do?" ”

Prime Minister Li shook his head and said: "King Li, I don't know what to do now, Li Yao's firearms are so strong that even the city walls can be broken, it's really difficult for us to stop them!" ”

King Li said: "What about the water army? What we are proud of is the water army, but if it doesn't work, then we can only compete on the water! ”

The general of the navy had seen Li Yao's warship, and hurriedly said: "King Li, although our navy is relatively strong, Li Yao's ironclad ship is really difficult to deal with!" ”

King Li looked at the generals of the navy and said: "Just because it's hard to deal with doesn't mean you can't deal with it, the navy should fight with the navy, you lead the navy to deal with Li Yao's navy, and you don't have to worry about their foot soldiers!" ”

When the general of the navy saw that King Li had given a death order, he had to nod and say, "The minister obeys!" ”

The naval generals came out of the palace, hurriedly gathered all the naval forces, and set off from the port, but the naval generals did not have confidence in this operation, although there were only five ships on the opposite side, but they were ironclad ships, and this ironclad ship had no sails, but it could move by itself, and from the perspective of firepower, these ships should definitely not be underestimated, I really don't know where Li Yao got this kind of ship!

The generals of the Li Navy came to the sea with 100,000 troops and thousands of laughing warships!

Li Yao saw that the Li State Navy was dispatched, and said: "Since they have dispatched the Navy Army, we can't lag behind, listen to my orders, and the warships will go to sea to meet the enemy!" ”

Five warships against thousands of warships, Li Yao did not have the slightest pressure, because it was fighting on the seaside, so the warships relied on the sea breeze to advance, Li Yao thought of a way, that is, to lead the warships to the windless area to strike, there is no difference between the warships without power and the lambs to be slaughtered, but the Li Guoshui army is active on the seaside all the year round, and there will definitely be a very sufficient understanding of the windless area, if it is seen that Li Yao is leading them into the windless area, he will definitely not follow!

It seems that the only way to escape while fighting has led them to the bait!

The speed of the five warships is not as fast as the warships with this sail, but the thousands of warships did not dare to approach easily, Li Yao looked at the warships ten miles away and said: "How about it, can the main gun hit the opposite warship?" ”

The general of the navy looked at the distance and said: "You can hit it, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and it can't cause much damage!" ”

Li Yao thought for a while and said, "Since we can't beat it, then let's withdraw, lead these sailors to the windless area, and clear them!" ”

The general of the navy nodded and said, "Okay, then I will command the warship to retreat!" ”

When the general of the Li State Navy saw that Li Yao's army had retreated, he secretly said: "What is the situation!" Could it be that Li Yao ignored the foot soldiers on the shore and escaped alone? ”

It's just that it shouldn't be.,Although you have a lot of warships.,But there's no one that can compete with the enemy's warships.,Is it a plan? It seems that only by keeping up can we figure out what Li Yao is going to do!

Because the five warships moved slowly, they were quickly caught up by the warships, and the generals of the Li Navy did not know the depth of the strength of this warship, so they wanted to send some warships to test it!

The generals of the Li State Navy sent more than a dozen warships to harass them first, and when Li Yao saw this situation, he said: "Put away the cannons, no matter how these more than ten warships harass, don't open fire, at most hit them with warships!" ”

Seeing that these dozen or so warships were so flexible, the general of the navy said: "King Ning, these warships of ours are particularly bulky, if you don't use cannons, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to hit these dozen or so enemy warships!" ”

Li Yao said: "I just want to show weakness to the enemy, and I will kill them in one fell swoop!" ”

The general of the navy praised: "King Ning, your trick is really good, anyway, our warship is thick-skinned, no matter how they do it, they can't damage our ship, and when it comes to the windless area, it will be our world!" ”

More than a dozen warships of the Li Navy gradually approached the warship, first tentatively approached, because it was an ironclad ship, so even if it was useless to shoot crossbow arrows, so they could only get closer, but they did not dare to try to pick up the ship, after all, there were so many soldiers on the warship, it was useless to pick it up!

More than a dozen search warships circled around the five warships a few times, and found that the warships did not move, and then they put their minds at ease and boldly provoked these warships, because the captain received Li Yao's order not to attack, so he could only use the bulky warships to hit those flexible warships, because the warships were too huge, and it was impossible to use warships to hit these warships, so there was a scene where the warships were played!

The generals of the Li State Navy saw that the warships were being played by more than a dozen warships, and they were also relieved, feeling that these warships were just turtle shells, not to mention running slowly, and they were particularly bulky, and it seemed that it was not difficult for them to defeat Li Yao's navy!

So the general of the Li State Navy shouted: "The army is attacking, relying on the speed advantage to attack these big turtles!" ”

More than a thousand warships slowly approached the warship, and the main captain asked: "King Ning, we are at least one hour away from the windless area, these more than a thousand warships are menacing, if our warships don't fight back, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate!" ”

Li Yao thought for a while and said, "Bring the five warships closer, so that the three warships in the middle will not be attacked, and when we hold on to the windless area, it will be victory!" ”

The captain of the main ship agreed: "Okay, I'll go and issue an order now, let the five warships get closer!" (To be continued.) )
