Datang first village

The steam engine is still not good, even if it is equipped with a gearbox, it cannot be compared with the internal combustion engine in terms of volume, power, and speed.Everything about Li Yuanxing's flying boat is under test, and it is already a miracle that it can cruise stably at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour.

The safe full speed of the machine is only about 160 kilometers per hour according to the modern speed.

This speed is no match for the first generation Zeppelin airship in history.

Seeing that he arrived in Luoyang, Li Yuan was excited: "Wu Lang, I am so happy!"

"I want to let go of the speed, but the safety regulations on the speed limit were proposed by Mingyue, ordered by Tianying Pavilion, and ordered by the emperor. As long as I am on this flying boat, the speed of the flying boat cannot exceed [-]% .It can’t exceed [-]% in wartime, so father will not be able to experience the feeling of extreme speed.”

"It's enough, enough!" Li Yuan laughed loudly.

The actual speed may be faster. Li Yuanxing looked at his watch. It was less than ten hours in modern time before they could see the sea. It took some time to land, and it was only less than eleven hours, that is, five and a half hours. , had already landed in Laizhou Port before the sky had completely darkened.

Li Daozong, who was dressed up to welcome him, was also dumbfounded looking at the huge flying boat.Seeing Li Yuan even forgot to salute.

Li Yuan laughed, and slapped Li Daozong on the head: "Don't lose the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and let people from foreign countries see jokes." After finishing speaking, Li Yuan looked at the foreign envoys whose legs were weak, and laughed Step into the barracks.

Li Yuanxing was not in a hurry to leave, he was listening to various test reports.

Coal consumption, water consumption, machine operation, and the influence of crosswinds on routes, etc.

"Your Highness, we seem to have installed too much coal and water. The total coal consumption is less than [-]%, and the water consumption has just reached [-]%. Shall we move some buckets and coal baskets, and adjust some more?" The sergeant is on board." Lu Maofeng reported next to him holding the document.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "There is no harm in preparing more. There are not many places where Datang can replenish coal. In the future, if the generals use it for combat, let them calculate the load of various materials by themselves."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Lu Maofeng was still thinking about fighting.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand and called Wu Bin: "Yi Dao, you can't use fake hands in tomorrow's battle. The Pei brothers attacked Pyongyang with red blood, and you brought the king's guards, and Pei Chengguang and you must enter the Goguryeo Palace together. The king has only one order, kill everything, burn everything, and rob everything. Whether it is wealth or women. The noble daughters of the Koguryo royal family must live to snatch a few back. Let Pisces take the one hundred people and do it for you. Support, if you encounter a strong enemy, you can use all means, as long as you have fewer casualties!"

A military order without any restrictions.

Yidao raised his head high, and then gave a heavy military salute: "Little general, order!"

In Yaozhou, Wu Zhao heaved a long sigh of relief after receiving the telegram. While sending letters to Chang'an City and Prince Qin's Mansion, he put pressure on the craftsmen, because Wu Zhao clearly knew that a steam-powered airship should be able to reach a speed of more than 250 kilometers per hour. , or even three hundred kilometers, so the craftsmanship of the steam engine is still not up to standard.

His Royal Highness Qin Wang arrived in Laizhou, and the news was immediately sent to all armies by telegram.And Yu Chigong, who was heading towards the Datong River from the sea, also received the news, and called the Pei brothers, Pei Chengxian, and Chengguang to the front: "You two lead red blood, this battle Goguryeo insults my Tang Dynasty, insults me King Qin, you The two brothers know the benefits!"

"The master humiliated the minister to death!"

"One knife leads people to battle, all of them are the top masters of Qin Palace. Shuangyu brought a hundred strong bows." When Yu Chigong said this, he took out a box and saw that the seal on the box was still there.Tore off the seal in front of the two of them, and after reading the order, Yuchixue smiled.

This order is naturally the same as giving a knife.

Said to be a madman, these generals who have experienced life and death on the battlefield many times, they like such unlimited orders.

In a word, just kill, kill, kill!

Eat well, drink well, and sleep well.Yu Chigong personally asked the captain that they would arrive at the mouth of the Datong River before dawn, and they only needed to watch the signal from the sky enter the river, go upstream directly, and kill Pyongyang City.

The next day, we cook at three o'clock in the morning and set off at four o'clock.

The envoys couldn't sleep all night, and they already knew very well that it was Datang who was standing up.Let them see what will happen to Goguryeo who dared to show his teeth to Datang. Just ask, who can stop this huge flying fortress, and who knows what attack methods this terrifying hundred-foot giant has!

This is not something that can be guessed by imagination.

Night flight is a huge test for all crew members who are flying for the first time. Even with the help of the Big Dipper's positioning, there will be hundreds of miles of error.

After an hour and a half of flight, Li Yuanxing stood at the front window with a blank expression.

Wearing full armor, Li Yuan turned out to be standing a little behind Li Yuanxing's side. In Li Yuan's mind, only wearing armor is the real war.

Li Yuanxing was wearing a very ordinary Chinese-style strong suit, without armor.

Li Yuan could feel the tension in Li Yuanxing's heart, although he didn't know what Li Yuanxing was nervous about.

Perhaps it is the pressure that Datang will face if this battle cannot be won.

So why is Li Yuanxing nervous?

Two words, direction!

Li Yuanxing was really afraid that he would fly in the wrong direction. If he flew in the wrong direction, he would really throw people into the sky.

Suddenly, a loud cry came from the bottom cabin of the command cabin: "Report, I saw the signal of the sea ship, I saw the signal."

"Okay, send a signal and order to sail into the Taedong River. When the sun rises, as long as you stand next to the city of Pyongyang, you will give credit to those generals who surrendered from the former Sui Dynasty. Great work!" The expression on Li Yuanxing's face changed. With an extra murderous look, he turned and returned to his chair, and slapped the armrest of the chair hard:

"Pass down the king's order, Weiyuan and Zhenyuan enter the first-level combat readiness state!"

What does level one combat readiness mean?

The envoys of different countries are different, but they saw that even the guards of the guest house began to tie ropes around their waists.

Several guards ran over quickly with a five-foot-long rope. First, they gave each guest a belt. After the rope was tightened, one end of the rope was tied around the waist, and the other end was tied to the iron ring under the seat. .

"Please give instructions, Your Highness! Airborne or skidded?" Wu Bin bowed in front of Li Yuanxing and waited for the order.

Li Yuanxing closed his eyes and didn't answer immediately, he was still thinking.

It is too dangerous to drop directly into the air. If the opponent has archers to defend against the air, then the sergeant who uses the parachute will become the target.As for the downhill, he was quite sure that the airship would actually descend within the city wall and be ten feet above the ground, and it would be absolutely safe for people to slide down the rope.

Seeing that Li Yuanxing didn't respond, he yelled loudly: "Your Highness, please airborne the last general!"

Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, but said: "It is not yet Chen's time, if the king uses the flames from the sky to attack, half of the entire Pyongyang city will be surrounded by flames, and you will be in danger when you fall. It is safer to slide down. And the king Still hesitating, setting fire to Pyongyang City will accidentally hurt too many people, I really can't bear it!"

"Your Highness!" Wu Bin knelt in front of Li Yuanxing on one knee, and everyone behind him bowed.

At this moment, Li Yuan gave a heavy military salute in front of Li Yuanxing, which made Li Yuanxing jump up in shock: "Father, what are you?"

"Goro, your name is my father. Do you have a father in your heart? Do you recognize this father?"

"I admit it, how could I not admit it." Li Yuanxing was a little incoherent.

Li Yuan walked up to Wu Bin:

"They call you a knife, I just ask you. When you were trained in Yaozhou, did you know how strong this flying boat is? Do you know how to show my mighty Tang Dynasty?"

"The general knows that Princess Mingyue has devoted three days to teaching the general and giving him a chance to practice."

"Okay, I'll ask you again. What's your plan to raise my army's prestige overseas!"

Wu Bin hesitated, and secretly glanced at Li Yuanxing.Li Yuan was furious: "I'm asking you, I'm still the Supreme Emperor. Wulang is my son, I'm asking you. Answer me!"

Wu Bin gritted his teeth:

"I can burn the whole of Pyongyang within an hour. I lead troops from heaven to raid the palace of Goguryeo. Even if the Goguryeo people have a hundred times the strength of my minister, they can at most protect their king from escaping. The whole of Pyongyang is also under the control of my Tang Dynasty. With the cooperation of General Yuchi's troops, Pyongyang City can kill all the soldiers of Goguryeo, slaughter all Pyongyang City, capture all the Goguryeo royal family, evacuate all the warehouses of the Goguryeo royal family, and burn all the food in Pyongyang city!"

Li Yuanxing closed his eyes when he heard this.

What Wu Bin said was almost the cruelest method of this battle, and also the method with the greatest effect.

Obviously, this trick was not something Wu Zhao could come up with.

It is very likely that it was designed by the master of the cabinet, and then passed directly to Wu Zhao through Li Lanshan. No wonder Wu Zhao specially trained Wu Bin.

Li Yuan turned around: "Goro?"

"What Wu Bin said is not wrong, but it is still a bit worse. It should be said that whoever I, Datang, wants to live, can live."

"I want to give an order?" Li Yuan continued to force Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing smiled, and shook his head gently: "Father, it seems that I am too soft-hearted. I understand, this is Datang, and this is the first foreign war. This is the battle of Liwei. Wu Bin Obey the order!"

"The end will be in...

Half an hour later, the city of Pyongyang ushered in the morning of the second day of April.

And what they saw was not the rising sun, but two huge monsters hovering over the city of Pyongyang with a length of hundreds of feet.People who can read can see the characters Weiyuan and Zhenyuan.

Li Yuanxing held the jade fan in his hand and waved it lightly: "The Weiyuan is flying in an arc to attack Pyongyang City."

The Weiyuan ship moved, and the envoys from various states sitting on it leaned to the window without exception. They already knew that this was Pyongyang, but they didn't know what would happen.

Li Yuanxing continued to order: "Zhenyuan, attack the military camps in Pyongyang!" (To be continued.)
