The chances of winning this battle are slim, and there is a high probability that the entire army will be wiped out.

With the loss of 40,000 elites and almost all of the sailors, Baekje will also be greatly damaged, and the plan to dominate Liaodong will always remain on paper.

Leaving behind the 20,000 army and withdrawing is the most beneficial for Baekje, at least to keep the main force of the naval division.

But if it is good for Baekje, it does not mean that it is good for him.

Leaving behind 20,000 troops and fleeing without a fight, the king will definitely kill his entire family to stabilize the morale of the army.

Which did he choose, the interests of the country or the lives of his family? It doesn't even take into account.

So he made a decision, a decisive battle.

What if the battle is won?

Even if he can't win the battle, he can't move his family if he dies here, otherwise who will dare to fight to the death for Baekje in the future?

If he is incompetent, he may implicate his family, but now the other party has a mysterious weapon, and we have been calculated, not a crime of war.

"There must not be many warships like this in the Tang Kingdom, and it is likely that there are only these four. Otherwise, they will directly kill us and defeat us, and they won't have to fight us for so long. ”

Everyone nodded subconsciously, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, no more is good.

"It stands to reason that the enemy has unknown weapons, and for the sake of stability, we should withdraw for the time being, and then attack after we have good information."

"However, there are still 20,000 soldiers on the island, and if we remove them, they will become fish to be slaughtered, and we cannot give up our comrades."

"And...... Even if we are ruthless in withdrawing, the country will not let us go. ”

Everyone looked stunned, and if they were defeated, they might not be punished, and this kind of abandoning their comrades and running away before the official start of the fight will definitely be punished.

Mu Lie knew that everyone was moved by his own words, so he continued to say, "So we have only one choice, defeat the enemy." ”

"According to the descriptions of the two generals, the Tang State attacked with such weapons at a long interval...... If we increase the speed of the ship and pounce on the enemy ship, they will attack once or twice at most and they will be close to us. ”

"When it comes to the side battle, no matter how powerful their weapons are, they are useless. So I decided to concentrate my forces and attack the enemy. ”

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

Maxiong Li realized that something was wrong, the speed of the ship we imitated was about the same as that of the other party, and we couldn't catch up with them at all, how could we fight a decisive battle?

Mu Lie seemed to guess his thoughts, and said, "The ships of the Tang people are not slower than ours, and it is not easy to catch up with them. ”

"It's easy to be broken by each one, so I decided to change my tactics...... Attack the island at full speed. ”

"If the Tang army dares to intercept it, then it would be better, we will launch a broadside battle and use the advantage of our strength to defeat the enemy. If the Don army does not come, we will attack this island. ”

"We only have 20,000 people, and we are all sailors and we don't have siege equipment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture that island." ”

Mu Lie said: "I know, but this is the only way we have, do you have a better way?" ”

Makiyo shook his head.

Mu Lie said: "I know that there are many problems with this method, but this is the best way I can think of, and it is also the best way we can do at the moment, and we can only give it a go." ”

"Why don't we return to Tsushima Island and bring 10,000 troops on board the ship, and then attack that island?" ”

Everyone looked at him with disdain.

Mu Lie is very remorseful now, why should he use this straw bale, but he still said patiently:

"If I could, I'd love to load everyone on Tsushima and withdraw to the country together, but the Tang people won't watch us do that."

"As long as we do that, they will inevitably come and harass and even attack, and then our losses will be even greater."

Only then did Jie Longyun react, and his face suddenly flushed with shame.

After the strategy was agreed, Mu Lie ordered nearly 200 warships to sail in the direction of Treasure Island with full sails, putting on a posture of attacking the island.

The results smiled: "Sure enough, Mu Lie began to die. To make up his mind so quickly, is a character. ”

Wu Liyue said: "I just don't know if Fuyu Ju agrees with your point of view." ”

The results scolded with a smile: "Does he agree that it's a fart...... I don't know where the brigade commander is now, and if he can catch up. ”

Wu Liyue said: "The detachment of Baekje is to copy our rear road, and it set off relatively early, and the current position should be in front of our left." ”

"The brigade commander crippled them, and he should be able to meet us when he turns back."

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you miss it, looking at Mu Lie's posture, he should want to attack Treasure Island, just go there and find him directly, just run a little longer."

He guessed correctly, the Xie Lik tribe, who had set off early, had already circled to their left front, and was just a detour away from running to their flank.

Then Wang An predicted the position, plus the over-the-horizon of the telescope, and accurately caught it.

And Helik was even more unlucky, the flagship he was riding in was sunk in the first round of shelling, and he himself was dragged to the bottom of the sea by armor.

The remaining ships that had lost their commander fled for their lives, and Wang An also did not pursue, and after defeating the enemy, he quickly returned to join the main force.

"Haven't you seen the main force of our army yet?" This is the fourth time he has asked this question.

This time, he ran a little far, out of the field of vision of the main fleet, and it was not so easy to find the main force again.

This is the most inconvenient place in ancient times, communication is difficult, and it is easy to get separated.

It's not just hard to find enemies, but sometimes it's just as hard to find your own people.

Fortunately, they have telescopes and can see things within a hundred miles, otherwise it would be more troublesome to rely on the naked eye alone.

It didn't take long for the lookout to give him an affirmative answer.

"Found it, in our right rear, but the Baekje fleet is in hot pursuit."

After Wang An asked about the positions and formations of the two sides, he said, "We will stick to the flanks and sail side by side with the Baekje warship. ”

After the order was given, the four gunboats changed direction and headed for the main force, and soon the distance between the two sides was closed to the naked eye.

Hearing that four Tang warships had appeared, Mu Lie's spirit immediately tensed.

"Send speedboats out and drive those four warships, and don't let them come close."

The speedboats on the mission did not yet know the danger of these four ships and, according to the previous training, came to the flank of the flank of the fleet to escort them.

They knew that they were no match for those giant ships, and they would be directly crushed when they appeared in front of each other.

So just trying to harass.

According to the usual practice, their patrol range is about 100 meters, as long as they do not let the enemy ships get close to their own fleet 100 meters away, they will complete the mission.

However, they soon found themselves seemingly completely redundant, and the four opposing warships no longer approached a mile away, but instead sailed side by side.

When Maxiong Li heard that four Tang warships appeared on the flanks, he immediately came to the deck to observe, and confirmed that they were the four terror warships at a glance.

He wondered when he saw that the enemy was not approaching about a mile away, what did he want to do?

When he saw that the opponent's formation had turned into a long serpentine shape, he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, he wouldn't be able to launch an attack from such a distance, right?

When the familiar square window opened, his heart fell like an ice cave.
