He watched the other side's every move with his glasses, and when he saw that it took more than a quarter of an hour for the other side to adjust the sails and set up the formation, he almost laughed.

It's not that I look down on the Baekje Army...... Forget it, just look down on it.

Let's put it this way, Tang Jun is assessed every six months, and in the case just now, those who spend more than five minutes will be suspended from studying.

Until you think you are sure that you can apply for a second assessment, in failure. I'm sorry, I'm going to do something else, I'm really not fit to be a captain.

After laughing, his expression immediately became serious, and he said, "Command the whole army, raise the half-sail long snake formation and follow the flagship charge." ”

The herald immediately communicated the mission to the ships in the language of the flag.

After several years of exploration, the flag language of the Tang State has gradually improved, and it can already accurately convey very complex commands, and it is no problem to say that it is a relatively concise set of sign language.

It took less than thirty seconds for the order to be accurately communicated to all the ships, and the whole army completed the formation in the early four minutes.

"Rush." With a shout of achievement, the battleship under its feet rushed out, but the speed of the half-sail was not very fast.

Seeing that the other party not only did not escape, but also rushed towards him, and he still used a half-sail, and scolded: "I don't know whether to live or die." ”

Then he ordered: "Slow down and prepare for a broadside battle." ”

It turned out that he mistakenly thought that the Tang army was going to engage him in hand-to-hand combat, otherwise he would not have just raised half a sail.

At this time, the shortcomings of untimely command transmission and unskilled operation came to the fore, and there was a brief confusion in his fleet.

The results naturally found out about this, and their faces showed joy.

The speed of the battleship was very fast, and the encounter between the two sides was really just a matter of an eye. The other party's command is in chaos here, and it is simply an opportunity to send it to the door.

He ordered again: "Full sails speed up, follow the flagship." ”

Soon the fleet finished hoisting its sails, and under the influence of the sea breeze, the sails were puffed high, and the speed of the battleships increased sharply by a quarter.

Maxiong Li secretly scolded and scolded, at this time he also realized that there was a big gap between his own ship's skills and the other party's boat, and he couldn't continue to fight, otherwise he would be in chaos without fighting.

He ordered: "The fleet is close together, pay attention to prevent collisions." ”

He had already decided, and when this round of collisions was over, he would hoist the sails to maintain the speed of the ship, and say nothing about lowering the sails.

He didn't know what the other party thought, but when he saw that the other party actually gathered the boats and put on an anti-collision formation, he smiled.

I'm worried that your ship is too loose to attack.

The flagships at their feet almost brushed the side of the other side, and the fleets of the two sides were no more than fifty meters apart.

They could see everything on each other's ships clearly, and even the hideous expressions on the faces of the soldiers on the other side.

"Put." Grades with a big shout.

There is no need to aim at such a close distance, the crossbowman only needs to flatten the bed crossbow and pull the trigger.

Hundreds of huge crossbow arrows plunged straight into the enemy ships in front of them, screaming one after another, killing dozens of people with just one blow.

And that wasn't the end of it, dozens of trebuchets threw the oil canisters into the sky.

It's just that the accuracy of the trebuchet is so impressive that most of them fall into the sea, and only a few fall on the boat.

But that was enough, and the archers fired rockets, most of which were blocked by shields, but many of them landed in the cabin and ignited the ignition oil.

Baekje was not shackled either, and their archers could attack the Tang army at a distance of fifty meters, but the Tang army also deployed a large number of shield men to block it.

In addition, the Tang army had silk vests, and there were not many casualties.

It's a long story, but it's actually a matter of the blink of an eye, and before the archer can release the third arrow, the two sides have already staggered.

The casualties were not very large.

Only 100 people died in Baekje, mainly due to the first round of bed crossbows.

On the Tang side, four people were shot in the face or neck by arrows and died, and more than 20 wounded were shot in arms and legs.

The biggest result was that one of the ships in Baekje was unlucky, smashed on the sail by a canister of fire oil, and ignited by a rocket.

Originally, the sails were fireproof, and even if the rocket fell on it, it would burn a hole, but this time there was fierce fire oil.

The fire burned so hard that the rope holding the sails in place was broken. Then the burning sailboat fell, and the whole ship was in flames.

The Baekje soldiers jumped into the sea to survive, and the rest of the ships also avoided snakes and scorpions, and hurriedly distanced themselves from it.

In this way, the lineup of the Baekje army was completely messed up, and Mamao's face was pale.

In the distance, he was not very happy, but sighed heavily: "Alas, if there is a gunboat, not a single of these thirty-two enemy ships will want to run away." ”

Wu Liyue, the combat staff officer, also said regretfully: "Yes, these ships are live targets. ”

The results shook their heads and said, "Forget it, I don't want to do this." Order the fleet crossbowmen to prepare for the next round of shooting, and the trebuchets will stop throwing oil cans and replace them with stones. ”

"Keep a distance of 100 meters from the enemy ship, mainly to harass and not get too close to them, and prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall and ramming our ship with the ship."

Then it's all about the operation show.

While maintaining a safe distance, the Tang warships kept taking advantage of their hand length to attack.

Although the accuracy is very touching, the psychological pressure caused by a stone or a few crossbow arrows falling is still very high.

Maxiong did try to ram, but the performance of the two warships was almost the same, and they couldn't catch up in a short time.

The Tang army was still using more skillful maneuvers to steer, and each change of direction caused confusion in the command of the Baekje warship.

The results also discovered this, and began to frequently use steering to disrupt the enemy formation.

Maxiong was not convinced at first, and when his two warships almost collided due to operational problems, he had to admit that his side was completely defeated.

He did not be angry and had to save face, but decisively ordered the return of the large army.

Looking at the fleeing enemy ship, he patted the deck railing regretfully: "Danfan gives me a gunboat......"

Of course, he knew that this was impossible, and he could only complain a few words.

After chasing the enemy ship and firing two rounds of crossbow arrows, he led the army back and reported the battle situation to Wang An as soon as possible.

Wang An praised: "Good job, I will make you a great achievement." ”

"Brigadier Xie." Naturally, he was pleased with the results, and then said his own advice, "The Baekje people are very unskilled in the operation of the new warships, and I think I can make good use of this." ”

Wang An smiled: "The suggestion is good, but you think about things too complicated, and you also underestimate the power of gunboats, and when the war really starts, you will know what it means to destroy the withering and decaying." ”

On the other side, Maxiong Li fled back in embarrassment, and also reported the battle situation to Mu Lie as soon as possible.

Mu Lie's face was pale, there was no new sail to be played by the other party back then, but now there is a new sail and it is still being played, this slap is too loud.

However, he did not reproach Maxiong Li.

The enemy has been using new warships for I don't know how many years, and the operation must be more skilled than theirs, and he has actually been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

Still sending troops to attack Tsushima Island has long thought of a way to deal with it.

I have more than two hundred warships, and you only have sixty, and it is enough to forcibly crush them with a huge numerical superiority, who will compare with you to operate.

In short, the advantage is mine.
