I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 655: Battle against John's Navy

"Report, General Li, the John Country army has appeared one hundred miles from our Tang Dynasty coastline."

"Oh, I see."

Li Kan said in a voice without any emotion.

However, if you look closely, you can still see a hint of excitement in Li Kan's eyes.

"General, why don't we attack? The enemy is almost reaching our Tang homeland."

Seeing that Li Kan was not planning to send troops, the lieutenant general on the side spoke impatiently.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I naturally have my own plans." Li Kan glared at the lieutenant general beside him and said calmly.

Seeing that Li Kan seemed to have a plan in mind, the lieutenant general said nothing more and gave Li Kan a simple smile.

Seeing this, Li Kan did not keep the matter in suspense.

"The barbarians of John's country are numerous, with about a thousand ships and hundreds of thousands of people. With so many people, of course we have to let them in and fight.

The lieutenant general nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. "

In fact, this is only one reason. A more important reason is that Li Kan has divided the Tang navy into seven routes, each of which has a Tang aircraft carrier stationed in it.

These seven naval forces are forming a circle, secretly encircling John's country.

Yes, it was undoubtedly very bold for Li Kan to divide his forces when facing the 100,000 naval forces of John Kingdom. This was more of Li Kan's absolute confidence in his command ability and the strength of the Tang Dynasty navy.

Li Kan had just received a report that two naval routes had not yet reached the target waters, so Li Kan was not in a hurry.

The closer John's navy is to the Tang mainland, the more difficult it will be for them to escape when they are defeated.

As time passed, Li Kan received a report that the other two naval forces of the Tang Dynasty had arrived at the designated sea area.

The encirclement was completed.

When Li Kan received the report, his eyes lit up and he immediately ordered the navy to break camp.

For the generals of the Tang Dynasty today, there is no one who does not want to fight on the battlefield and make achievements. Now that the Tang Dynasty is full of martial virtues and foreign wars are winning one victory after another, the generals are also holding their breath.

As a general of the Tang Dynasty navy, Li Kan had not had the opportunity to go to the battlefield for a long time since the conquest of the South Sea countries.

Some time ago, Li Kan was already extremely jealous after hearing about the Tang Dynasty's several great victories over the Western Regions.

In the center of John's fleet, more than a thousand warships were working to block Charles's giant ship.

On the giant ship, even though the coastline of the Tang Dynasty was already visible to the naked eye in the distance, Charles still leisurely held a glass of wine, tasting it calmly, and told that he was not the commander of this expedition to the Tang Dynasty.

John's arrogance is evident from this.

"It's bad, Lord Charles, we are surrounded by the Tang navy."

"Well, what did you say?"

Charles looked at the navy soldier who delivered the message with disbelief.

"Charles, sir, Tang warships have appeared around our fleet. The number and number of warships are unknown." The soldier repeated loudly.

"Humph, a corrupt empire actually took the initiative to attack my great country of John. It's really courageous."

Upon hearing the news that he was surrounded by the Tang Dynasty navy, the arrogant Charles did not think of how to respond at the first time, but was angry that the small Tang Dynasty in his eyes dared to surround him first.

"Lord Charles, you still want to see the warships of the Tang Kingdom."

The navy soldier did not agree with Charles after hearing his words. Instead, he swallowed and said with some difficulty, "Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Charles also realized that something was wrong. He was just arrogant, but not stupid, otherwise he would not have become the commander of John's country's 100,000 navy.

Charles took the telescope handed to him by the soldier. The telescope had been invented by the Tang Dynasty, so the telescope was no longer a rare object.

Through the telescope, Charles finally saw the Tang Dynasty warships that were very close. The first thing that caught Charles' eye was the huge Tang Dynasty aircraft carrier.

To be honest, Charles is not a playboy, so he has a lot of experience.

But he was still stunned by the huge Tang Dynasty warship in the distance. Its huge size was only one point. What surprised Charles the most was that it was made entirely of steel.

This is simply amazing. Even a country as arrogant as Charles or as powerful as John cannot build such a huge steel battleship using steel.

"How many giant steel ships like this does the Tang Kingdom have?"

Charles spoke with some difficulty and asked a soldier around him.

"Lord Charles, we have discovered six ships so far."

"Six!"

Charles had the urge to turn around and run away, but he quickly resisted the urge and shook his head, which was a little dizzy due to the wine.

"The fact that the warship is huge doesn't mean anything. Our John Kingdom has the most advanced artillery. The Tang Kingdom's navy is nothing to worry about."

Charles forced himself to remain calm and spoke to the soldiers around him, asking them to pass on the order and prepare for battle.

Although this statement could not convince the soldiers or even himself, at this moment, Charles, the proud child, still had his spirits high.

He could only comfort himself in this way. After all, the battle had not started yet. Charles could not afford to lose face if his officer fled after seeing the opposing warship.

He could only hope for the advantage of John's artillery.

"Hmph, come and have a taste of the artillery of my Great John country."

The huge Tang Dynasty warship made Charles put aside his arrogance and requests for instructions, but that was all.

At this time, on the other side, Li Kanzhen looked coldly at the navy of John Kingdom who was surrounded by the Tang Dynasty navy in the distance.

"General, the enemy has entered the range of our Shenwu cannon."

Li Kan sneered when he heard this, and without further ado, he ordered his soldiers to fire at John's fleet.

As for the giant ship where Li Kan was, it did not move. Li Kan's plan was to besiege John's fleet from six directions. As for the fleet she led, it secretly bypassed the John's fleet and hid behind the thick fog.

Charles, who had just recovered from the shock of the huge Tang Dynasty warship, had not yet breathed a sigh of relief when the Tang Dynasty's magical cannon brought him an even bigger "surprise".

Charles, who was in the center of John's fleet, heard a series of roars that made him tremble with fear.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One after another, the powerful cannons roared and fired shells at the John's fleet.

The powerful cannon shells exploded on John's fleet. Often only two or three shells were needed to sink John's proud warships. For a time, John's warships suffered heavy losses.

Thick smoke billowed out of the warships, and the soldiers of the John Kingdom on board were screaming and roaring.

But the warship was different from the land. Even if the soldiers of John's country wanted to escape, they had no way to escape. Most of the soldiers on the warship were forced to jump into the sea to escape.

But once they jumped into the vast ocean, their fate was already determined.
