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

"What a good place!" Li Shimin stood on the deck admiring the rare scenery.

Zhang Liang pointed to the river bank behind and said, "Your Majesty, the smoke is rising!!"

"It seems that we have been discovered!!"

Everyone looked in the direction Zhang Liang pointed, only to see black smoke billowing from the shore into the sky.

Not long after, the smoke from both sides of the strait rose, like a welcome bonfire.

The size of the battleship and the movement it caused are too large, and it is normal to be discovered.

"Your Majesty, as the smoke rises, it's safer to go back to the cabin!" said Changsun Wuji beside him.

Li Shimin did not refuse, walked towards the captain's room, and asked while talking: "How far is it from here to Na'an City?"

"After entering the river, change the channel and turn to the southeast, and it will take less than [-] miles to reach Na'an city."

"It's less than thirty miles, and there's only half an hour's waterway."

"The river is wide, and the battleship can advance at full speed. According to the current situation, it can definitely reach the front of Anshi City within half an hour."

"Okay, pass on my order, the whole army is ready for war!!" Li Shimin ordered.

"Yes!!"

"Prepare for battle!! Everyone prepare for battle!" The instructor's loud voice echoed in the battleship.

at the same time.

A soldier shouted from outside the gate of the city lord's mansion: "Report!~"

"Say!"

"Warning smoke, Tang Jun was found in the Yalu River, the speed is extremely fast, less than [-] miles away from us!!"

"Twenty miles?" The Gao brothers and Yang Wanchun were taken aback.

How did Li Shimin come so fast?You must know that the letter he sent a few days ago has not been heard yet!

On the other hand, Yang Wanchun asked the soldiers with a serious face.

"It's only [-] miles from Haikou to Anshi City. How long has it been since the warning signal? What kind of ship is Tang Jun's ship?

How come it came so fast! ? "

"That ship is quite weird. I only see the Tang flag flying... As for what kind of ship it is, I don't know!" the soldier who sent the order stammered.

Yang Wanchun frowned and asked, "How many boats did the Tang army come?"

"A total of ten large ships have come!"

"Ten big ships!?"

When the three of them heard the nervous letter, they relaxed a lot: "It's only ten big ships, how many people can it hold?"

"That's right, is this the vanguard clipper who is inquiring about the news?" Yang Wanchun was puzzled and looked at Gao Yanshou.

"Second brother, what do you think?" Gao Huizhen heard Gao Yanshou who was at the side and said, "Should we also send a warship to try the opponent?"

"No, Tang Jun's clippers can cross ten miles in such a short period of time. If we sincerely want to escape at such a speed, we will not be able to catch up.

"Indeed, so what should I do?"

Gao Yanshou asked Yang Wanchun, "It's only twenty miles away. If you go to the tower, you should be able to see where the Tang army's warships are?"

Yang Wanchun replied: "The two-story tower, if Tang Jun has not escaped, we should be able to see the sail!"

"Then why don't I go and have a look!?"

"Okay, let's go here to see what kind of weird method Tang Jun's ship is!"

"General, please!"

Soon, the three of them dressed casually and came to the top of the city tower. Looking from a distance, they could directly see the figures on the other side.

Looking to both sides, you can have a panoramic view of the river, and even vaguely see the end of the Yalu River.

At this moment, ten huge, dark battleships appeared in the emerald green river, sailing in a long line, making long beeps and emitting steam from time to time.

The three of them were stunned by this strange sight.

Yang Wanchun shuddered and said with a look of shock on his face.

"Its sound is deafening and spreads for ten miles, making people tremble. It can emit white smoke, which condenses into clouds and floats in the clouds for a long time. Is this a dragon boat?"

"Dragon boat? There are no dragons in this world!!" Gao Huizhen looked at Yang Wanchun who was startled and was speechless.

"Then how do you explain the loud voice and the rising clouds?"

"This?" Although Gao Huizhen was disdainful, she was also puzzled at the moment, and turned to look at Gao Yanshou.

"And there is no sail, no paddle, but it can travel. What is it if it is not a dragon boat?"

Gao Yanshou frowned and replied casually: "Whatever dragon boat he is, as long as I wait to guard Anshi City!!"

On the battleship, Li Shimin was holding up his binoculars and saw the three people pointing.

Immediately his complexion darkened, and he said in a low voice with anger: "It was Yang Wanchun back then, who promised to return the surrendered soldiers, but this person turned his back on his promise, and actually used my Han family men as cattle and horses to build the Great Wall."

After all, he looked at the river bank on the other side, which was the location of the Great Wall.

It is majestic and majestic, with continuous ups and downs, but there are indeed countless bones of Han people underneath.

It's just a river, a city separated, and in the Jiancheng and other cities under the protection of the Great Wall of that city, there are still many Han people living a miserable life.

"Yang Wanchun should be killed!"

"The Mohe clan should be exterminated!!"

Everyone was holding back their stomachs full of anger, wanting to kill Yang Wanchun and the warlike Mohe clan together.

The battleship is getting closer and closer to Anshi City.

The faces of the three people on the tower also became serious.

"What is Tang Jun going to do!?"

Gao Yanshou frowned and watched Tang Qi getting closer, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis spontaneously.

"Could it be that Tang Jun really wants to go ashore from the front of Anshicheng?"

And this time.

Li Shimin stopped the battleship, and the semaphores on the deck were waving the flag frantically.

"Drop the anchor!!"

The huge anchor was slowly lowered, and the warship docked steadily tens of meters away from the river bank.

"The vanguard and shield soldiers are in front, and the artillery stays on the battleship to cover the vanguard, prepare for battle, prepare for battle!!"

"Yes!"

A tense atmosphere permeated the entire cabin.

"Put down the boat, and the vanguard shield soldiers will go up first!!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the stern of the boat was slowly opened, and the small wooden boat, which could only carry less than ten people, was pushed into the water by everyone.

All of them were tall, with firm faces, holding iron shields in one hand and spears in the other, and jumped into the boat.

After boarding the boat, he hurriedly put down the spear in his hand, picked up the wooden paddle, shouted one two one two, and rowed towards the shore.

Before reaching the shore, the vanguard jumped directly into the shallow water area, but when they jumped, many soldiers were shocked.

It seemed that there was no more than knee-deep water, but when he jumped off, he submerged directly to his thighs.

It turned out that there was still two feet of mud under the knee-deep water.

This time, the mud directly buried his knees, and every step he took was as difficult as pulling a carrot.

Difficulty is still a trivial matter, but every time the legs are pulled out, not only the soil is brought out, but also blood-sucking leeches as long as fingers.

"Get out of the mud first, the people in the front row hold up their shields for defense, and the people in the back row help clean up the poisonous insects."

Seeing this, Zhang Liang frowned and ordered.

"Yes"

Seeing that Zhang Liang, who is a general, was also advancing, many people gritted their teeth and persevered despite their pale faces, and moved forward with all their might.

But even so, the speed of travel is still very moving.

Li Shimin felt dizzy when he saw the vanguard army trapped in the mud.

But fortunately, I have a cannon as a cover and an iron shield, otherwise people who are stuck in the mud based on this terrain are living targets.

And there are too many poisonous insects and the like!

Li Shimin looked at the leech slapping his legs with a binoculars, and his scalp felt a little numb.

At this time, the three people on the tower looked at the water below in disbelief.

"Second brother, Tang Jun really stopped the boat and gathered in the waters ahead!!"

Yang Wanchun narrowed his eyes and watched the wooden boats continuously transporting people ashore.

"Everyone of them is wading across the river, and I am afraid that this battle will definitely be defeated!!"

Gao Yanshou looked at all the soldiers wading ashore, and immediately frowned, very puzzled.

"It's true to say so, but they dare to go ashore here, do they have any support?"

And Gao Huizhen frowned tightly: "Aren't they afraid of heavy cavalry charging?"

The front of the city gate is very flat and wide paved with stone bricks.

After a certain distance, there is a muddy ground soaked by rainwater, and the nearest place to the river bank is the silt no bigger than ankles and knees. Every step is like pulling a carrot.

I can deploy thousands of heavy armored cavalry in a spacious place.

When Tang Jun finally came out of the potholes and mud, he came directly to charge and crush him, and there was no way to hide.

Tang Jun can think of this point after a little thought, but why did he dare to go ashore here?

What is there to rely on?

"Brother? Do you want to gather [-] heavy armored cavalry to charge and crush the Tang army!?"

"Is it too urgent to assemble now?"

"Brother, don't worry, they are going to transport soldiers and horses from the warships, the speed is extremely slow, and there are still ten miles to go, so they will definitely make it in time."

Chapter 187

"Okay, second brother, you wait, I'm going to gather thousands of heavily armored soldiers to give the Tang army a head-on blow."

Gao Yanshou gazed at Tang Jun in the distance, with a sneer on his face, regardless of what support Tang Jun had, let's try it with heavy armor first.

The heavy armored cavalry relied on their own weight and impact, and the shield soldiers couldn't resist at all, so they had to end up with a broken shield and death.

Once the shield soldiers in the front are broken by the heavy cavalry, the rear will be even more unable to withstand the trampling of the heavy cavalry, and the infantry following the cavalry will also rush into the enemy's position.

Behind Tang Jun is the rolling river, with no way to retreat. It is a real last stand.

On the contrary, my side is a city tower, which can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.

It can be predicted that the Tang army has nothing to rely on, and it will undoubtedly lose.

"Decree!" After finishing speaking, Gao Huizhen went down from the tower, mounted a fast horse and galloped towards the barracks.

Soon, Gao Huizhen came to the barracks and shouted at many lieutenants.

"Listen to my orders, gather [-] heavy armored cavalry and [-] infantry to follow me behind, the Tang army is coming soon!!"

"Yes!"

The entire barracks moved into action, those on horseback and those in armor, quickly assembled eight thousand soldiers.

Looking at the situation in front of her, Gao Hui could not help but show a satisfied expression, raised the general flag high and said, "Get on the horse, let's go!"

"Yes!"

When Gao Yanshou and Yang Wanchun were looking down, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, which first became weak, then gradually became louder, and finally rolled like thunder.
