Chapter three hundred and ninety-four: the power of the new battleship(1/2)

At this point, Lou Shide even felt that he would rather die here than live like this on the boat.

Every day on the ship is like purgatory.

He hurriedly climbed onto the deck.

Sure enough, I saw many Baekje ships rising sails, but their distance was far away and I couldn't see the other party's reality clearly.

There are roughly a dozen ships.

Lou Shide felt that his vision had reached its limit, and he was vaguely surprised to see one of the ships.

This sail... is somewhat similar to the ships built in Yangzhou, and is somewhat different from other Baekje ships.

Could it be...

At this moment, someone came staggeringly behind him.

However, Lou Shixian heard that he had encountered an enemy ship. Although he was extremely weak, he still barely climbed onto the deck.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Lou Shixian asked worriedly.

Lou Shide looked back at his brother, and then said, "Did you see that ship? It's our Yangzhou ship."

"What?" Lou Shixian said in surprise: "Did... they surrender..."

"No!" Lou Shide said: "Eighty or nine out of ten people were the Baekje people who captured the ships and made them for their own use." After that, he took a deep breath and said: "You and my brothers, eight or nine out of ten are going to die here. But... before burying himself in the fish's belly, he not only avenged the revenge of the victims, but also to repay Mr. Chen's kindness. At least... we died here in battle. If the news of our death can be sent back to the Tang Dynasty, we can also give the court an explanation to Mr. Chen, so that Mr. Chen knows that he has not read the wrong person."

Lou Shixian was covered with haggard eyes, but now he suddenly became more determined and gritted his teeth and said, "A man who dies as a confidant will die without any resentment."

Then, he started coughing desperately. Obviously, the excitement in his heart could not boost his weak body after all.

Lou Shide looked at his brother deeply, with a slight pain in his eyes, but he didn't say anything else after all. Instead, he ordered loudly: "Send the order, attack!"

"Strike..."

"Strike."

"Did you see, your enemies? Right in front of you? They all opened their eyes wide? They were these people who killed your father and brother. Today... Heaven has eyes, and the teaching officer ran into these enemies with you? What are they still standing there? Let's fight to the death."

More than a dozen large ships seemed to have infected the crew's determination, and they went straight towards the Baekje people without any hesitation.

But... the Baekje ship opposite? There was no intention of fighting at all? He went towards the northeast without hesitation.

So one chases? The other escapes.

Lou Shide faced the sea breeze? He frowned: "I understand? Their ships are similar to us. To be on the safe side, they retreat first and are unwilling to be enemies with us. Is these Baekje people easy to deal with? They are too cunning."

When you encounter an enemy situation? Didn’t fight immediately? Can you say they are cowardly? But such people can be called steady.

Obviously...their rear team, or are nearby? There are larger ships in action. Since they can hit less with more, why do these Baekjeans need to work hard to fight?

This is also why they chose to escape, and the direction of escape must be towards their main force.

However, Lou Shide soon discovered something strange.

Because your own ship is obviously much faster than the other's ship.

In fact, Lou Shide didn't know about ships before this, and in this era, there was no tool to measure speed. There was no comparison before, so he didn't realize it at all, but now... it's clear at a glance.

More than a dozen large ships ride the wind and waves. Because of the keel, the hull is narrow and long without worrying about leaning against it. The narrow and long hull just brings a huge advantage to speed.

Chase all the way.

In this vast ocean, above the blue waves, more than thirty ships were chasing and fleeing, while the sailors on the ships were either at the helm or prepared crossbows, and they gritted their teeth one by one.

But at this moment... suddenly... more and more black shadows began to appear on the sea level.

The shadows are increasing, and they appear on the sea level. The sails are like spears in the forest. The ships are lined up into snakes and slowly coming.

Lou Shide's pupils opened, and he suddenly realized something, and then turned around and said, "Is someone leaking the news?"

He looked at Lou Shixian, his body shook, his eyes deep, and he said, "Since we went to sea, someone must have leaked the news. Otherwise, how would the Baekje people know that we would come? With so many Baekje ships, it was clearly the Baekje navy who came out in full swing, but... who leaked the news?"

Lou Shixian's eyes also showed despair.

Everything that happened in front of me could only be explained by someone's leak of news.

After all... the brigade of ships was dispatched, and the opponent's main force was ambushing here. The only possibility is that the Baekje people learned the news in advance.

However... the Tang Dynasty and Baekje were far apart. When Lou Shide was dispatched, he had the intention to make a temporary decision. Who had the ability to arrive in Baekje first?

Lou Shide's face was sallow at this time.

He originally thought that he would be dead for a lifetime.

But now it seems...it's like a life without death!

This...there are hundreds of ships one by one.

It was equivalent to the entire Baekje country, which sent all its forces to ambush here, just waiting for him to come to the door, waiting for the sheep to enter the tiger's mouth.

If he raided Baekje, he might think he still has a chance of winning, but now the opponent is ten times that of his own and he is ready. Why doesn't this huge difference make him desperate?

Lou Shide sighed, and finally said with a gloomy face: "Try your best."

He turned around, but he still saw fear in the eyes of the sailors gathered on the deck.

Even though they came with hatred, when they saw countless ships slowly surrounding them, even the ships that fled before began to turn around. Obviously... they were very likely to die in this vast ocean like their father and brother.

At this moment... what countless people think of is their attachment to their hometown. More people just smile bitterly, and then look at Wang Yang who is inseparable from the escape, determined to fight to the death.

……………………

The title of King Wen Zuo has already raised sails.

King Wen Zuo was the founding lord of Baekje. It is rumored that this person was the third son of King Goguryeo. After that, because of his failure in the royal struggle, he had to take his troops south to the Sanhan land and established the Fuyu Kingdom in the southern part of the peninsula.

Baekje country took Fuyu as its surname, so it was named.

And on the title of King Wen Zuo, Fu Yuwei had just raised the flag of the commander.

Fuyu Weigang was the right general of Baekje and a son of Baekje's royal family. This person is very good at water warfare and has a lot of prestige in Baekje.

At this time, he looked at more than a dozen Tang military ships in the distance, and couldn't help but smile.

He was over 40 years old, but his figure was very bloated, with a short beard under his jaw and a armor. His eyes fell on a deputy general beside him. This person was his son, Fu Yuwen.

"Tang Jun came here, and everything was wrong. There were only a dozen ships, which were extremely ridiculous. They really didn't know how high the sky was."

"What Father will say is that now they have wings and cannot escape." Fu Yuwen was eager to try.

"Send the order and attack immediately, but even so, be careful and not careless." Fu Yuwei just stood up and muttered: "King Wen Zuo is here, bless your descendants and defeat the Tang army again today!"

A strange trumpet blew up from the boat.

Then, the Baekje ships advanced in unison at this time, and many other fast ships began to encircle the Tang army's left and right routes, obviously afraid that the Tang army would flee.

"I see that the Tang army's ships are a bit strange today, and the hull is different from the past." Fu Yuwei pointed at the Tang ships in the distance, which meant to guide his son before the war: "However, the ships in this world are never separated from their sects. No matter what they look like, they are still made of wooden. Therefore, the fundamental reason for naval battle is to contact enemy ships and use the strongest place of their ships to hit their hulls. If they can hit, they can sink the other ships."

"Is it okay to just hit the boat?" It was obvious that it was the first time Fu Yuwen was brought out to the training by his father. At this time, the Baekje soldiers around him rushed to the deck and stood by with breath. The flag bearer was frantically talking to other ships, while the father and son were talking endlessly.

For Fuyu Weigang, the Tang army in front of him was not worth mentioning at all, but this was a good opportunity to teach his son, so he nodded and said seriously: "In this vast ocean, once the ship is gone, everything will be over. Because of this, protecting the ship is crucial. This requires that the sailors of the ship have rich experience. We, the people of Baekje, are born from the sea, and some are skilled helmsmen and sailors. Those military philosophers always talk about the magical skills of this naval battle, but they are actually just lying to you teenagers. Naval battle is just a collision. When they crash, their ships leak water, and our ships are intact, and the naval battle is mostly won."

Fu Yu Wen hurriedly wrote down his father, who was the strongest naval general in Fu Yu Kingdom. His words... naturally he should be regarded as the standard.

But when you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no skill in naval battle.

"But what if it didn't hit it?" he asked a question.

Fuyu Weigang laughed and said, "If it didn't hit, then the next step is to fight in close combat. It's easy to say, it's just to hook the opponent's ship with a rope, then climb over and fight in close combat with it. There is no skill at all. The sea is bumpy and it's impossible to form a formation. The two sides' side are fighting bravely with each other. On the ship, people are inseparable from the escape, so... everyone will fight to the death. The victory or defeat depends on who is still standing at the end."

Fu Yuwen thought for a long time, then asked, "What else?"

"No more." Fu Yuwei said coldly: "This is the experience of leading the navy for the father for twenty years. As for other military tactics and formations, they are just used to fool the officials in the court. Anyway, they don't understand. The more magical the father said, the more they are, they are actually more at ease. Well, let's teach you one more thing, that is... To lead the naval army, it's still impossible to achieve naval battles by learning these two skills. After learning these two skills, you still have to learn to be able to speak well. When you pass by triumph, in front of the king and the officials, you must be good at telling how you set up your formation, how to arrange troops, and how to take down the thief ship at the critical moment. The more this happens, the harder it will be to replace your position. Do you understand?"

Fu Yuwen: "..."

Fu Yuwei just patted his shoulder and said patiently: "The naval battle is actually the easiest to learn. Today, it depends on how my father wiped out these Tang troops in one fell swoop. At that time, just like the last time, I will send all these Tang troops to the seabed to feed fish, and then capture some prisoners and behead them on the deck to show them. As for the last thing I taught you for my father, you need to work harder and learn well."

As he was talking, the vast fleet was already very close to the Tang army's ships.

Fuyu Weigang couldn't help laughing happily again and said, "There's a good show."

He pointed to the front ship and continued, "Look at how my Lord of Win will defeat the enemy, and made many military achievements. This time, he ordered it as a vanguard for his father, so that the Tang army would taste our power."

After hearing this, Fu Yuwen became interested immediately, so he also looked around and wanted to see a good show.

He was still young at this time and was following his father to go out to sea for the first time. He was so excited that his heart was about to jump out. At this moment, he just wanted to kill these Tang soldiers on the winning sign.

I saw that the Victory Number, under the cover of other ships, headed straight to Lou Shide's ship.

Baekje has rich experience in naval battles and can obviously distinguish the Tang army's flagship at a glance. Obviously, Lou Shide did not intend to retreat. After all, as a flagship, if he does not charge in the battle at this time, other ships will be even more unreliable.

The bow of the Victory Ship was aimed at the hull of the "Tiankhan" where Lou Shide was located, and suddenly pierced.

Lou Shide shouted wildly: "It's going to hit, it's going to hit, prepare, prepare..."

So everyone was busy holding anything on the boat that could be grasped, and their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

Seeing that the ship was riding the wind and waves, the distance was getting closer and closer...

"Quick, turn the rudder, turn the rudder, face the enemy head-on."

Amid the loud shout, Tian Khan slowly turned the rudder, and the bow of the ship was facing the Victory.
To be continued...
