Tang Dynasty good brother

349 Sea Battle

"Ahem, um, Zhongxiang, you came at a good time, let me tell you why you put up this long snake array."

Wang Fangyi can be regarded as a powerful actor. With a slight smile, he broke a new tea cake for the two of them, and said with a smile while crushing: "Brother, this is me for the exam. The wind and waves on the sea are not as urgent as on the land. The water in Goguryeo The army's boat is small and unstable, and I don't know how long we have waited, but it will definitely be uncomfortable, so they will only be more anxious than us, and it is better to let them take the initiative to attack than to plunge in."

"Besides, although the Navy of the Green Gang has a good ship, to be honest, it is indeed newly established. The level of training is not enough. I am afraid that it will not be able to form a complex formation. Instead of forming a complicated formation, it is better to simply line up. Simple, anyway, it is safe to win by taking advantage of the ship, so as not to be self-defeating."

After Qin Hao heard it, he also felt a sense of enlightenment. It turned out that this was the case with Temiao.

Niu Jinda didn't think too much about it, he just thought that Qin Hao specially arranged for Wang Fangyi to come over to show his face in front of him, could this be regarded as a kind of support for his subordinates?

While the few of them were talking, the Goguryeo sailor on the opposite side finally couldn't sit still, and began to give in to the wind, but Pei Xingjian would not let them get what they wanted, so he also followed the semaphore and kept changing directions. As soon as he got closer, he was greeted by a rain of arrows.

Niu Jinda asked, "What is this for?"

While boiling the water, Wang Fangyi said: "Back to the chief manager, this is to grab the wind. Now the wind is occupied by us. They just want to grab the position. There are no terrain restrictions in this naval battle. The biggest advantage is the wind." The position is right, the wind on the sea is ten times that of the land, so when the wind is up against the wind, not only will the arrow shoot farther, but the impact will be stronger, and there is no need to worry about the enemy attacking with fire."

As they said that, because they were fighting for the wind, the big boat under their buttocks began to turn rapidly, and the speed was quite fast. Niu Jinda was thrown when he went out to sea for the first time. I had to take a sip of tea quickly to avoid embarrassment.

Niu Jinda is also a veteran in the battlefield, and he understands the truth, and he said worriedly: "The long snake is a defensive formation, but it is inevitable that it will lose its flexibility. Are you sure?"

Wang Fangyi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, chief executive. My elder brother once said that in fact, in combat at sea, everything else is icing on the cake. Only speed is the essence. If our speed is twice that of the enemy, it will be the enemy's other aspects. There are a thousand advantages of 1, all of which are zero, and the sailors of Goguryeo are actually heroic river boats on the Han River, and they are more than three times slower than ours. It is a fool's dream to want to grab the attention."

In fact, this is also the case. Qin Hao’s big ship is specially built for going out to sea. It has a high pole and a big sail, and it also uses Dashi’s triangle sail technology. of.

The sailors of Goguryeo are interesting. Almost all of them come from the Han River. Most of the boats don’t even have sails. How can they have been subjected to such a strong wind? Many boats don’t even talk about fighting. They can guarantee that they will not sink. It's already the limit.

After paying the price of several ships and finding that Datang's ship was getting farther and farther away from them, the gang of Goguryeo sailors found helplessly that it would never be possible to successfully circumvent the wind, and they even discovered by the way A more speechless fact: the speed of Datang ships is too fast, and even if they can win a fight, they will not be able to keep others.

This discovery is undoubtedly very disappointing. People can fight and leave when they want to fight. On the contrary, once they are defeated, they have nowhere to escape.

The generals of Goguryeo were also a little confused for a while. They had a battle with Tang Navy on the Han River. Although the speed of Datang Navy was a little faster than them at that time, I hope it didn’t reach the level of crushing, otherwise he would go crazy It is only when you are here that you will be able to snipe, but this time it is a bit difficult to get off.

Let's fight, not to mention whether he can beat it, just not being able to catch up is enough to make him vomit blood depressedly, as for not fighting?Not to mention whether they can run without speed, leading the whole army to wait for two days, the big fish turned away without even touching the bait?Who doesn't want to save face.

Gritting his teeth, Goguryeo finally made up his mind, let's go to the f*cking upwind, just fight, so he ordered dozens of medium-sized ships and hundreds of small ships in Goguryeo to rush up like a pack of wolves.

Regarding this, Qin Hao didn't even look back at all, he still drank tea slowly, and commented on Wang Fangyi's tea ceremony leisurely.

This made Niu Jinda admirable. He is so old, but his determination is far behind that of Qin Hao, a junior. He always looks at the battle from a distance from time to time, and he can't feel at ease.

He didn't know that the reason why Qin Hao didn't read it was because he couldn't understand it at all, and it was useless to read it.

"Come on, chief executive, drink tea. The sea is windy and cools down quickly. Don't waste good things."

"Ha, nephew, you are so kind. I have been fighting all my life, and now I know what Confucian demeanor is. It's really awesome for future generations."

"The chief executive is flattering, but he is just bullying people because of the height and speed of the boat. There is nothing worthy of praise."

Unlike Qin Hao and the others, who are calm and breezy, Goguryeo is really about to vomit blood.

The arrows shot by Tang Jun were all wrapped in tarpaulins and set on fire. They went downwind, and a volley of arrows was almost like a rain of fire. There was no need to consider issues such as accuracy. Many small boats in Goguryeo were balanced. They are all connected together with iron cables. If one is burned, it will be a large area, but after a few salvos, the sea will be a sea of ​​flames.

Qin Hao and his boat were taller and with a favorable wind, their shooting range was much longer than theirs, but the arrows they shot had to be from bottom to top, against the wind, they could not fly a few feet away, and in the end they simply stopped shooting. , Holding back his energy, he wanted to join Tang Jun on board, and planned to climb up by the rope to fight the sword.

How can Pei Xingjian let them get what they want? With a wave of the flag, more than a dozen large ships retreated together. After feeling a little distance, they continued to shoot, leaving Goguryeo with all the strength but being unable to use it. This is a rascal, at least Goguryeo has nothing to do until the arrows are shot.

"General, what should we do? It's impossible to fight at all! Who the hell said that the Datang Navy is vulnerable? I'll give him a slap in the face!"

"That's right, General, this isn't a war, it's clearly a death sentence!"

"General, let's retreat."

The Goguryeo general smiled wryly twice, withdrew?Has it been withdrawn?

Gritting his teeth, the Goguryeo general said: "I don't believe they can shoot straight. These ships are originally troop carriers. The cabins are full of people. How many arrows can they carry? Their accuracy is actually average. Tell the troops to disperse and advance. Their arrows, when their arrows are exhausted, the victory will still be ours."

The few lieutenants below all showed unbearable expressions when they heard the words. They used the lives of Goguryeo soldiers to consume other people's bows and arrows.Can people leave whenever they want?
But they also understood that this arrow must be consumed, otherwise, with Datang's speed advantage, they would not be able to withdraw even if they wanted to.
