The Li Dynasty, also known as the Later Li Dynasty, is distinct from the Former Li Dynasty established by Li Ben during the Han Dynasty. It is a dynasty in the history of South Vietnam in later generations, and the name of the country was given because the monarch of the dynasty was surnamed Li.

In the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty, the former Li Dynasty's Zuo Qinwei Palace commanded Li Gongyun to seize the throne, and the following year changed the Yuan to Shuntian, and set the capital of Thang Long (Hanoi in later generations), which was for Li Taizu. After the founding of the Li Dynasty, it adopted the centralized political system of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Li Qiande, who is now succeeding to the throne, is the fourth emperor of the Li Dynasty, and he also ascended the throne at an early age. He was assisted by Li Changjie, a famous general of the Li Dynasty who commanded the Battle of Xining at that time, and was later called Li Renzong.

Looking at the bloody human heads piled up on the main hall, and this war letter written in blood. Li Qiande was naturally very angry, feeling that this king of Qiongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty really didn't know the height of the sky and dared to declare war on the Li Dynasty.

Looking at Li Gande's thunderous expression, the secretary of the military department in the main hall said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the king of Qiongzhou, just left the capital half a day ago. This war book was sent to the palace, and according to Weichen's shallow opinion, this battle was unavoidable. ”

When Li Gande heard this, he immediately said: "If you want to fight, you will fight, am I still afraid of a prince of the Great Song Dynasty?" Command all the armies to assemble and prepare for battle at once. Even if he doesn't come, I will attack Qiongzhou and take the head of the king of Qiongzhou. ”

Regarding Li Qiande's words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty felt that this matter was a little unusual. From what they felt, the actions of the Great Song Prince this time were obviously prepared, and it didn't seem like righteousness!

When the Li Dynasty began to gather a large army to prepare for battle under the holy decree. Zhao Xiaoxi, who has already sacrificed the flag with his head. Personally sitting on the warship of the navy, Wang drove the Li Dynasty in person. And the other two armies are also doing the pledge meeting of sending troops.

It is said that raising soldiers for a thousand days. For a while, although they didn't raise it for so long. But the soldiers of the navy and the army who participated this time knew who was paying them. For hundreds of days and nights, who gave the food and clothing.

Now that it's time for them to repay themselves, the soldiers are naturally ambitious, hoping to make new achievements through this battle. After all, most of them are ordinary soldiers. If you want to be promoted, you have to rely on your military exploits to build a foundation.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who led the Qiongzhou Navy on the expedition, looked at the scene of a thousand sails racing, and also felt that this time he was going to the Li Dynasty. It seems to be a bit of a stir. But he knew that this battle must be resolved quickly, and the three-way army besieged the capital of the Li Dynasty, Shenglong.

This time, Zhao Xiaoxi stepped into the Li Dynasty one step ahead of the other two armies. And the first target of the attack. It is the largest naval army base of the Li Dynasty. Thanh Hoa City Water Army. The guys who were beheaded were the members of the navy who came out of this navy.

As usual, the Thanh Hoa naval army of the Li Dynasty, who had nothing to do, suddenly saw countless sails appear on the sea surface of their military port. It immediately became clear that it was not a merchant ship entering the port, but an enemy attack.

The sentry who stayed on the watchtower immediately rang the gong. The piercing sound of the gong made the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty in the entire naval camp angry. They all looked a little stunned. Until the sentry screamed, "The enemy ship is attacking, raise the sails to meet it!" ”

These are also well-trained Li Chao's sailors, who quickly put on their military uniforms and weapons, and boarded the ship in an orderly manner. But when they drove the ship out of the port wharf, they looked at the Qiongzhou navy, which had slowed down, and had no confidence in fighting at all.

The Li Dynasty's navy was all in charge, looking at these Qiongzhou navy, which was less than twice as big as them. He looked very incredulous and said: "This is not true, this is the water army of the Great Song Dynasty, how could they come here?" What exactly do they want to do?

Hurry, hurry up and send someone to send a letter to the imperial city, it is the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty that is attacking in a big way. With our strength, I'm afraid there is no way to fight against them at all. But no matter what, you have to resist them, otherwise Qinghua City will be completely finished. ”

In this naval commander, it seems that he is very loyal to make this decision. A clipper, with his orders, fled to the side of the port. At this time, the three gunboats of the Qiongjun Navy were ready to attack.

Yue Laosan, who was dressed in armor, said very seriously: "Lord Qiqi, the army is ready to attack, please instruct!" ”

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was sitting on the flagship, dressed in a Great Song Dynasty robe, said very calmly: "Command the army, after this battle, this king does not want to see that the Li Dynasty has another warable ship." ”

'Obey! ’

Yue Laosan, who gave up, quickly let the herald wave the two small flags in his hand. This kind of flag language can be regarded as a new way of issuing orders that Zhao Xiaoxi began to implement in the formation of the navy. Compared to shouting by mouth, this thing is undoubtedly more eye-catching.

The commanders of the three gunboats, seeing the flag of the attack, immediately said: "Raise the sails, speed up!" In today's war, we must make new contributions. Wait a minute, you guys, give Lao Tzu some precision, understand? ”

Listening to the roar of their own commanders, these naval artillerymen who have been training for a long time and don't know how many shells have hit. didn't say much, and began to be nervous and orderly, making preparations before firing.

Looking at the three huge warships speeding up, the other Great Song warships were hanging behind them at a slow speed. This move made the Li Dynasty's navy unified, and while he was a little puzzled, he felt that this was the best opportunity to seize the ship.

He immediately ordered: "The whole army attacked, captured these three warships, and taught the Great Song people a lesson, so that they knew that my Li Dynasty naval army was not easy to mess with." Kill! ”

With the sound of his order, those Li Chaoshui troops who lowered their sails began to raise their sails or start paddling again. I hope to surround it sooner and capture these three warships, which in their opinion, are indeed a bit of a giant.

For Li Chao's navy, he did not flee, but stabbed himself and went straight to the gunboat. The three gunboat commanders all felt that in this case, there was no need to test the distance at all, and they could just fire their guns in turn and send them all into the sea.

Soon these commanders asked the gunners to prepare for the opening of the cannon. Listening to the watchers on the ship, they kept reporting the distance between the Li Chao Navy and them. It is also convenient that the commander gives the order to open fire!

After entering the firing range, the three gunboats fired the first round of shelling almost simultaneously without an appointment. It seems that these three commanders all want to make a jackpot. As a result, no one got the first place, and the shelling began almost at the same time.

Li Chao's water army, which was speeding up, heard a huge roar coming from ahead, and immediately felt stunned. Looking at the three Great Song warships, billowing smoke rose in the roar, and many black spots appeared in front of them.

With these black dots, at a speed that is almost indistinguishable from the naked eye, they grow larger and larger in front of them. These Li Chao sailors, who didn't know what the cannons were, were still very curious, staring at these shells falling onto the boat.

It was only when the shells fell on their ships that they suddenly made a loud explosion and even tore their ships apart. These Li Chaoshui soldiers finally understood how amazing the power of this black bump was.

Looking at the first round of shells, sending more than ten warships of the Li Dynasty into the sea, the screams came one after another. The commanders of the three gunboats couldn't help but shout hello and continued to order: "Load, fire!" ”

There was another loud bang, and those officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty finally understood that when they did not approach the warship. This cannonball is enough to send them into the sea. Especially the tragic situation of the sailors who were suffering from the shells, it is really a dead corpse!

The loud noise on the sea surface of the port naturally attracted the attention of some people in the port. Looking at the large number of warships on the sea, which were constantly clear, many people of the Li Dynasty felt that what was going on?

Until there was a soldier from the government, he said with a panicked face: "Flee, the official army of the Great Song Dynasty is coming!" Run! It's late, the official army of the Great Song Dynasty comes ashore, and we can't escape! ”

At this point, the people of Thanh Hoa finally knew what war was. The government naturally closed the city gate as soon as possible, and summoned the young men in the city to enter the city to guard. As for the people outside who did not enter the city, they can only hope that they will survive.

In this kind of shelling, the commander of the Li Dynasty's naval army seems to have been lucky to survive. A few small boats that followed him were also lucky to escape. And at this moment, they all have only one thought, they will be safe if they are close to the big ship.

Is that so?

Looking at some of the Li Dynasty warships that were lucky enough to escape the shelling, they finally arrived near their warship. The commander of the warship immediately shouted: "Musketeers, get ready to shoot." The speed remains the same, just run over Lao Tzu! ”

The size of this gunboat is undoubtedly less than twice as large as that of the Li Dynasty's naval warships. In this case, even if it collides directly, it is the warship of Li Chao's naval army that is finally smashed.

It has long been taken into account that the case of the failure of the gunboat's artillery in close combat. The outside of these gunboats were covered with iron sheets and thorns. With the sails fully open, the ships smaller than it were really crushed.

Seeing that the three big ships finally stopped roaring, the tired and sweaty Li Chaoshui army was in charge, and immediately said excitedly: "Chong, rush, rush, they finally can't beat the iron egg." It's our turn! ”

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel. Looking at the Great Song gunboats that were directly crushed, these Li Dynasty sailors felt for the first time, why did their warship build such a small one?

The Li Dynasty warship that was hit head-on had a miserable fate and was crushed by falling apart. And the sailors of the Li Dynasty, who were finally ready to board the ships, found that these warships were slippery and difficult to climb, not to mention, there was a group of officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who sneered at them.

Just as they were puzzled as to why the officers and men did not use arrows and knives, the musketeers heard the order to 'shoot'. Finally, the fire rope was lit and the first shot was fired to declare war on the Li Dynasty.

With the sound of this crisp sound like a cannonball, these Li Chao sailors, who were still thinking about seizing the ship, felt a pain somewhere on their bodies. Knowing nothing, he immediately plunged headlong into the sea.

The capital of the Li Dynasty, who escaped the shelling, was even targeted by several muskets. Before he could shoot the first arrow, these muskets rang out, and he immediately felt that his eyes were dark, and he no longer knew what was going on! (To be continued......)
