Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

He couldn't help thinking that with cannons, is martial arts still useful?

Can I still stand out with my martial arts? ?

I'm afraid I can't, I'm afraid the enemy will surrender if he can't get in front of him!

Do you want to return to your hometown as the instructor of the battleship?

No, this is not what I want.

To fly a battleship, set up a cannon, and become a general, this is what he wants.

Thinking of this, Xue Rengui decided to change.

During the day, he was the chief instructor, teaching the soldiers martial arts. At night, he turned into a student and found the artillery captain for advice.

He studies mathematics, calculates functions, measures wind speed, and calculates falling points... After unremitting efforts, he has become a brand new artilleryman,

The white robe he was wearing was replaced by a 150mm caliber mortar, the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand became a cannonball, and the jade pendant on his waist became a binoculars.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he showed a satisfied expression, this look is really domineering to the extreme.

I secretly swear in my heart that I will definitely become the existence that makes the enemy fearful! !

Chapter 167 Arrived in Laizhou.

Fifteen days later, the Dreadnought Fleet arrived in Laizhou after several rounds.

When the people of Laizhou heard the news, they were waiting at the Longevity River a few days ago.

In addition to the local people in Laizhou, there are even many people from other places who want to see the elegance of the fleet.

When the warship appeared in Laizhou, the people on both sides cheered like a tide, and almost the entire river was filled.

"Such battleships are like divine soldiers descending from the mortal world, and mortals are unstoppable."

"Goguryeo will be defeated if the Holy Majesty personally conquers, and will run away like a dog that loses its family."

"Is this a battleship? It's really unstoppable, I have to tell the king quickly."

Amidst the cheers of countless people in Laizhou, the fleet sailed slowly into the Longevity River (Yan|Tai, Wang|River), leaving only a white water wave and countless ripples.

Li Shimin appeared at the bow of the boat, thinking of the people on both sides of the strait and nodding his head.

"Your Majesty is mighty!!"

"Datang will win!!"

"Datang will win!!"

The battleship slowly left the sight of the people and docked at the harbor of the Long Live River.

Li Shimin stretched his body and let out a long breath.

"The battleship is really fast, it can cover thousands of miles in half a month.

When I came to Chang'an, the summer was hot, but when I arrived in Laizhou, it was cool, as if it was still at the end of spring, as if the four seasons were reversed, it was an incredible experience. "

Although it was already June in Chang'an, it spanned thousands of kilometers in a short period of time, and the latitude and climate of the two places were very different, which brought quite a shock to the two of them.

While speaking, Li Shimin walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.

"Yeah, the battleship is really fast, and I also feel a bit of coolness." Zhang Liang on the side echoed: "Next time, take more clothes!!"

Li Shiji nodded in agreement: "I think it's okay, but the battleship is too boring, and there are a lot of mice, so I should raise two cats."

"Well, Shuoshu is really annoying." Li Shimin nodded, and then waved to the patient behind him: "If you are unwell, get off the ship and get medical treatment!!"

"Yes!!" Pale-faced soldiers in twos and threes were carried off the ship.

Weather changes combined with prolonged sea travel can easily lead to disease.

"I'm not sick, I'm not sick!!" A pale soldier pushed and shoved the person beside him to help him off the boat.

"It's better to disembark, because only under the boat can there be medicine for curing diseases!" The soldiers on the side tried to persuade them.

The arguing between the two aroused Li Shimin's idea.

Frowning slightly, he stepped forward, only to see a soldier with pale face, chapped lips, staggering footsteps and a little confusion.

Some puzzled heard: "What happened, why didn't you carry him down for treatment?"

Several soldiers' lips twitched, their faces showed doubts, and finally one of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty... Cao Min... Cao Min doesn't know either."

Unknown to several people, Li Shimin turned his head to ask the sick soldier, and asked in a soft voice.

"Why don't you disembark for medical treatment??"

Facing Li Shimin's question, the sick man said: "Caomin...Caomin is worried that he will not be able to heal his illness in time to attack Goguryeo."

As he spoke, his eye circles turned red, and he sobbed.

"Everyone in the village is expecting me to serve Datang, kill the enemy and make meritorious service!!

How could I... How could I delay the attack on Goguryeo because of this little illness! ? "

As he spoke, he suddenly got up and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please let the grass-roots people join the battle. Even if the grass-roots people die, they should die on the battleship."

It turned out that I was afraid that the medical treatment would delay the expedition!

After understanding the whole story, Li Shimin hurriedly helped him up.

"The warrior is willing to sacrifice his life for the country, I am very happy, but there is no rush to go out for a while, and the warrior is in such poor health, how can he go to battle to kill the enemy?

The warriors should disembark, and only when they recover their health can they follow me to kill the enemy. "

"Your Majesty, do the grassroots have a chance to follow His Majesty to kill the enemy?"

"Hey, there are plenty of opportunities, and the warriors have to maintain their health!!" Li Shimin assured.

"Caomin thanks Your Majesty!!" Hearing Li Shimin's assurance, he was willing to disembark after saluting.

After the rest of the people watched him go, Li Shimin glanced at everyone, knowing in his heart that there would definitely be people who went out with illnesses.

He repeated again: "If you are unwell, please get off the ship and get medical treatment quickly. I will take a short rest and send troops sometime!!"

The soldiers were unmoved, and Li Shimin didn't force much, instead he asked Zhang Liang: "Take care of the soldiers, they are all brave men of the Tang Dynasty."

"I obey the order!!" Zhang Liang saluted.

"Go, follow me down the gangway, don't make Li Chunfeng wait anxiously!

"Yes!!"

Li Shimin led a kind of civilian and military generals and walked down the gangway slowly.

Li Chunfeng, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward and saluted: "Your Majesty welcomes you!!"

Li Shimin nodded and asked, "There are a lot of people here this time, are the medicines ready?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready!!"

"That's good!"

A group of people hurriedly walked into the newly built naval base while talking.

"Your Majesty, should you take a rest first, or..." Li Daozong asked cautiously.

"I've been resting for a long time!" Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and said, "I'm calling the officials of this expedition to discuss the plan for the war!!"

"Your Majesty, please follow me!!" Li Daozong led the way ahead, leading Li Shimin and others into a room.

As soon as the door is opened, a huge sand table is in sight.

Not long after, Li Shiji, Zhang Liang, Li Dao, Changsun Wuji, Li Chunfeng, Yang Siqi and other accompanying officials all surrounded the sand table.

Li Shimin glanced at everyone one by one, and finally retracted his gaze, and landed on Goguryeo on the sand table.

"All the lovers came to Laizhou with me all the way, and I know that they all suffered a lot.

I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart.

At this time and here, I also hope that all the lovers will help me to defeat Goguryeo and promote my reputation in the Tang Dynasty. "

"I will not disgrace my life!!" All the civil servants and generals shouted in unison, full of momentum.

"Okay, let's discuss the attack plan today!"

Li Shimin asked, "Li Daozong, have you found out about Goguryeo's movements in recent days?"

Li Daozong got up and saluted.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Goguryeo already knew the news of His Majesty's personal conquest in March.

Goguryeo used the territory and tribute of the Tang Dynasty to connect with many neighboring countries and jointly established an anti-Tang alliance. Among them, Baekje, Waguo, Buyeo and Xueyantuo were the most powerful.

"

As soon as the words fell, all the civil servants and generals began to discuss.

Someone said indignantly: "Goguryeo's prodigal ambition actually formed the Anti-Tang Alliance. It is really a pity to die!"

Someone scolded angrily: "He also promised the territory and tribute of the Tang Dynasty. His mother is born of a bear. Otherwise, how could he be so bold."

Li Shiji frowned and asked: "Have you ever found out how many countries agree? How many troops have been assembled?"

Under everyone's attention, Li Daozong spoke.

"I heard that Goguryeo, Baekje, Wa, and Buyeo agreed to the anti-Tang alliance, but Xue Yantuo neither responded nor refused.

Silla claimed to submit to the Tang Dynasty, so the entire alliance stopped attacking Silla, and instead assembled millions of soldiers and horses on the coast of Pyongyang City. "

Hearing this number, someone exclaimed: "The four countries have assembled a million soldiers and horses!?"

Changsun Wuji speculated: "They must have found out about our warship, so they took it for granted that we would go straight to Pyongyang, the capital of the king, so they guarded it heavily."

Zhang Liang was very speechless and said: "Then Silla really has a thick skin, and in order to survive, he even surrendered to Datang!!"

Niu Jinda said very disdainfully, "Hmph, no matter how many soldiers he has, as long as he has a cannon, the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is coming, and I, Lao Niu, have to give him a cannon."

In the past, these millions of soldiers would probably have to think twice and try their best to attack, but now that there are cannons, there are not enough people to fight.

If [-] beats a million, the pressure will be transferred to the supply of ammunition and food.

Li Shimin said to Li Chunfeng and Yang Siqi: "Maybe the supply of ammunition is guaranteed!?"

The two said in unison: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the ammunition has been continuously supplied."

The blast furnace was built and put into production a few months ago, and the supply of iron balls was guaranteed.

At the same time, a batch of cotton was transported by the Wujia caravan Gaochang, and all of them were made into fire cotton, which can also be guaranteed.

As for the food, it is actually the least thing to worry about.

"Well, since food and ammunition can be supplied, the logistics will be worry-free!!"

Li Shimin felt relieved when he heard the words, turned his head to the rest of the people and said, "What do the lovers think, how should we destroy that Pyongyang city!?"

Niu Jinda directly picked up a flag and planted it on the coast of Pyongyang City and said.

"The city of Pyongyang is less than [-] kilometers away from the coast, and now they have received news of our dreadnought fleet.

Presumably they will rely on the number of millions of troops, thinking that they will win.

Therefore, they will definitely gather on the coast of Pyongyang City and fight to the death with us. "

Everyone listened and nodded.

Niu Jinda continued: "We just need to dock the warship on the coast and clean it with artillery fire, and they will surely flee and surrender on their knees.

When the tragedy spread to the city of Pyongyang, and they still did not surrender, we will land on the coast and lead our troops to attack Pyongyang city. Goguryeo will definitely surrender. "

This method is very simple, just confront the millions of troops head-on, and still not surrender?

Then do it again, until you surrender! !

Simple, crude, but it works!

"Well, what General Niu said is right." Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

"That's great!!" Li Shiji said with a smile on his face.

In the past, it was necessary to calculate food and grass consumption, time, terrain, climate, and even the temper of the opponent's defender.

Up to now, there are many, many fewer, and it is directly washing the ground with artillery fire. No matter what terrain and troop strength you have, just wash the ground and it's over.

It is said to be a strategy, but it seems that there is no strategy. In fact, there is only one word 'reckless'! !
