Chapter 190: Raising the Sails to Fight
Li Qinzai felt that his face was not thick-skinned.
There is a premise for being thick-skinned, it has to have a face...
Li Qinzai's face was wiped clean by the company's small leaders as early as his previous life. Whenever you are criticized, whether it is your fault or not, your first reaction is to bow your head and admit your mistake, the leader is right, and you must change it next time, etc.
The youthful vigor of a good man is exhausted in the year after year, and only the self-righteous Huaicai is left without being born at the right time, and the pity is in vain.
The discussion with Sun Renshi was fruitless, mainly because Li Qinzai knew nothing about the naval battles in the Tang Dynasty today, and there was no way to talk about it.
In the days when gunpowder was not supposed to exist, naval battles were mostly fought with long-range attacks with bows and arrows or crossbows, as well as catapults and javelins, and ships from both sides would try to get closer, and close together was a fierce hand-to-hand combat.
After bidding farewell to Sun Renshi, Li Qinzai returned to his cabin, first called Li Sujie over, and told him with a serious expression that maybe he would engage the thieves tomorrow, and told him to stay on the flagship.
The flagship of the Tang Navy Division is usually left in the rear, surrounded and protected by its own warships, somewhat similar to modern aircraft carriers.
Relatively speaking, it is safest to stay on the flagship, unless the enemy even breaks through the flagship in one go, then it will be equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army of the Tang Dynasty, including Sun Renshi Li Qinzai, who has to jump into the sea to feed the fish, as for Li Sujie, no one really cares if he is a prince or not.
Knowing that he might engage in a battle tomorrow, Li Sujie's performance was not like fear, but a little excited.
Li Qinzai's heartless appearance couldn't help but sigh, the society didn't have time to give him a resounding slap to teach him to be a man, but the teacher couldn't help but give him a resounding slap.
Is war fun? As for being so excited?
…………
That night, Li Qinzai slept soundly, sleeping in the cabin, without the noise of the motor, only the sound of the waves lapping and the rhythmic swaying of the battleship, like a baby's cradle.
As sung in the song of the previous life, "The waves shake the battleship gently." ”
It's been a long time since Lee has slept so comfortably.
Early the next morning, Li Qinzai was suddenly awakened by a long horn like a whimper, and as soon as he opened his eyes, there was a rapid sound of gongs on the deck of the flagship.
"The warships of the thieves are the best, and the whole army is ——! for war"
Li Qinzai was taken aback, and subconsciously blurted out: "Buckwheat! ”
The brain returned to normal from ignorance, and then he was surprised to realize that Buckwheat was not by his side, Li Qinzai suddenly felt relaxed, when people are in danger, the first person to think of without thinking must be the closest person.
In this world, Li Qinzai's closest person is probably only Qiao'er.
The most fortunate thing is to be born at the right time, born in this peaceful world, to be able to control the inevitable war outside the national border, so that the elderly, women and children can not be poisoned by the flames of war.
Dressed and out of the room, Liu Asi and Li Sujie were already dressed and standing outside the door waiting for him.
Liu Ah Si and Li Sujie both wore armor, and the subordinates also put armor on Li Qinzai, and after putting it on, Li Qinzai walked quickly towards the deck.
At the same time, he did not forget to turn back to Li Sujie's entourage and said: "You are optimistic about the fourth prince, you are not allowed to make any moves against him, if something happens to him, you will not survive." ”
A group of entourages should be fist-clasped.
Li Qinzai said to Li Sujie again: "The opportunity is rare, you take a good look at it, see how our Datang sailors fought with the enemy, after this battle, write a review and suggestions of more than 5,000 words, and hand it in tomorrow." ”
Li Sujie was stunned, he didn't expect that in the real war, Mr. did not forget to assign him homework, and he was really a little uncomfortable with this operation.
Li Qinzai ignored him, walked to the side of the ship, and squinted at the dark shadow of the sail in the distance.
About twenty nautical miles away, a small black dot gradually appeared, which gradually grew larger, and then a fleet of warships obscured the sky.
A cursory look at the number shows that, as the scout said, there are really more than a thousand.
Li Qinzai's face was a little ugly, he couldn't figure it out, how could the small Wa country have the national strength to build more than a thousand warships, and the trees on the island country were not enough for them to cut down, right?
Today's Wa State is still in the period of alternation between primitive society and feudal society, there is not much arable land, there is no writing and no culture, every year to send Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn culture, copy homework and go back to paint cats and tigers.
Such a small barbarian country, if they have the ability to build more than a thousand warships, Li Qinzai really can't believe it, even if these more than a thousand warships have appeared in his sight, he still can't believe it.
The warships of the Wa Kingdom moved slowly on the sea, but they were still getting closer.
Outside the port of Baekje, more than 100 warships from Datang have already met them. The whimpering of various horns and the rapid beating of gongs came and went.
The soldiers ran barefoot on the huge deck, and under the reprimand of the generals, they each walked to their posts.
The winch turned, the giant crossbow was fastened, the arm-thick giant arrow was placed on the giant crossbow, and a team of archers stood side by side with bows, staring closely at the warships of the Japanese Kingdom in the distance.
Li Qinzai's heart was beating faster and faster.
It was the first time to personally participate in the war, and the war was so close to him, if he was hit by a stray arrow or something in his back today, and died without killing an enemy, is this kind of death a heroic or a shame?
Before the battle, everything was ready, and the sailors and soldiers held their bows and crossbows, quietly waiting for the Japanese warships to approach.
Time passed slowly, and the warships of the Japanese Kingdom were getting closer and closer, so close that Li Qinzai could clearly see the totems on the black mainsail of the warships opposite.
Then, Lee Chin-jae's expression became more and more stunned.
When he got closer, he found that the so-called more than 1,000 warships of the Wa Kingdom, each of which was incomparable in size and scale with the Tang Dynasty sailors.
To be precise, most of the more than 1,000 warships were small fishing boats and small sampans, interspersed with dozens of medium-sized large ships.
And any warship of the Datang Navy Division is a behemoth in front of the warships of the Wa Kingdom, and it is not in the same order of magnitude at all.
It is equivalent to the difference between an aircraft carrier and a coast guard patrol ship in the previous life.
Staring at the warship getting closer and closer, Li Qinzai couldn't help the shock and gap in his heart, and blurted out: "Why is this also called a 'warship'?" ”
Things finally make sense.
With the national strength of the Wa State, it is still not a big problem to build 1,000 small sampans, and it is not out of touch with reality.
After all, other people's sailors also have to catch fish in their spare time, catch some Aolong seafood or something, and the multi-purpose small sampan is in line with their national conditions.
Li Qinzai's expression gradually relaxed, and he suddenly felt that it was not so difficult for more than 100 warships of the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Japanese sailors, and the big ship raised its sails and rushed over, just the waves on both sides of the ship could hit them and turn over on their backs.
Looking left and right, Li Qinzai found that the expressions of the Tang soldiers on the deck were not relaxed. Everyone's faces were still solemn and solemn.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Sun Renshi walked barefoot, also staring at the slowly approaching warship with a solemn face.
"The chief manager, the so-called warship of the Japanese Kingdom, just this little size, our warship can be sure of the chance of victory if it rushes over......," Li Qinzai smiled lightly.
Sun Renshi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not that simple, the boat is small and the boat is small, and the big ship is not necessarily an advantage for the small boat." ”
Li Qinzai blinked blankly, asked if he didn't understand, and humbly saluted: "Please teach the chief manager." ”
Sun Renshi sighed and said, "Don't you hear about the technique of 'wolves devouring tigers'?" ”
