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

Li Shimin shook his head and commented speechlessly: "What a mob!"

Chapter 214

It is a bit of a compliment to say that it is a mob.

This kind of equipment is similar to that of a refugee rebellion, and its combat power can be imagined.

The reason for this situation has a lot to do with the national conditions of Baekje.

One is that the characters and culture of Baekje also originated from the Tang Dynasty, and Buddhism was also passed on.

And the reason why Buddhism can be so prosperous and have such a great appeal has something to do with sweet potatoes.

With a material foundation, there will be spiritual needs, and Buddhism will spread naturally.

Therefore, the extremely prosperous development of Buddhism in Baekje has a very strong appeal, so Baekje can go to war across the country, which is definitely a trump card for the cold weapon era.

But for thermal weapons, the number of people can only be regarded as trouble.

"It seems that the king of Baekje is at the end of his rope!" Yang Siqi looked at the river in front of him and said with a smile.

Li Shimin nodded in disbelief. Such soldiers were sent up. Even if they won, Baekje might not have much combat power anymore.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this battle will not be easy!" Liu Rengui said in a cautious tone.

"Oh? Why did Aiqing say this?"

"Please take a look, Your Majesty." Liu Rengui gestured with a binoculars, and explained while gesturing.

"Most of the army just now was dominated by large ships, supplemented by wooden boats, and formed only one line of defense. We only used one round of artillery fire to destroy the large ships of the Baekje Army, and the Baekje Army was defeated and fled.

But now it was different. There were only a dozen Dafa boats in front of him, and the rest were small boats. Countless small boats blocked the entire twenty-kilometer river.

With such a vast river surface, the artillery fire of the battleship is not enough to cover the enemy forces on the entire river surface, which means that it is difficult to cause fatal damage to them. "

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

Just now, most of the regular army were large ships, and a large ship contained thousands of people. If a ship was destroyed, so many people would have to fall into the water, and the combat power in the water would be good if it was not dragged down by the armor and sank to the bottom.

But now it's different, countless people use small wooden boats, spread all over the river for twenty miles.

There are at most a dozen or 20 people on a boat, even if it is destroyed, it is nothing to the river that stretches for twenty miles.

Li Shimin held a binoculars and looked from the French boat in front to the rear of Xiongjin City. The entire river was full of enemy warships.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to Yang Siqi and asked, "How much ammunition does the battleship have?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are still [-]% ammunition!"

"Sixty percent ammunition?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, this is a trouble, the enemy is too scattered, and the ammunition is insufficient to sweep across the entire river, and the nearest supply station is still in Laizhou.

After the ammunition is finished, if the enemy does not run away, if you want to defeat the opponent quickly, you have to rush over at the risk of the opponent pouring oil.

This is not worth the candle.

"Aiqing thinks how to fight?" Li Shimin had an idea in his mind, but decided to ask Liu Rengui beside him.

"I think it's better to line up the battleships in a V shape, aim at the enemy in front, and fire a round of cannons to see if the enemy flees. Once the enemy flees, you can let the horse boat go ashore directly and capture the leader of the bandit."

Liu Rengui thought for a moment, and never dared to do the battleship drift again, but chose to play steadily.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"I also feel the same way. Once the believers flee, I will directly let the vanguard go ashore and take the Xiongjin City."

Everyone's thoughts coincided with each other. According to past experience, when the cannon fired, the enemy troops would scatter and flee like birds.

"In that case, then this battle will be handed over to Aiqing!" Li Shimin said to Liu Rengui.

"Yes!" Liu Rengui took the lead, turned around and reached the rudder position, and shouted loudly into the megaphone.

"The general ordered that all warships slow down and sail in formation V, aiming at the front with their flanks, and the gunners are always ready for battle!!"

"Yes!" The chess player quickly ran to the deck, sending flags to the battleship behind him over and over again.

The battleship that received the order began to adjust the position of its own battleship.

The ten warships began to slowly reduce their speed, each warship was hundreds of meters apart, and gradually formed a V-shape, heading towards the enemy ahead.

At this moment, Dao Chen looked at the ten warships in his field of vision from a distance, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Ten warships, Tang Jun dare to fight? It's ridiculous, order all the French ships to speed up and hit head-on!"

Hearing this order, an extremely elderly monk beside him said with some concern.

"Head-on collision? Would the Living Buddha be a little reckless? This is one of the few Dharma boats we have! Besides..."

"Reckless? Hmph!"

Dao Chen didn't hesitate to snort coldly, he was just worried about the rumors about steel warships and the like.

"Sea battles in this world are nothing more than hitting the weakest flank with the strongest keel. As long as the keel of the opponent is broken or broken, the enemy will surely sink.

In the Taotao River, once the ship sinks, there is no way to escape, and the enemy will definitely be defeated!

There is no skill at all! "

The eminent monk thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. All he played was bumper boats, knocking and sinking the enemy.

"What if it didn't sink?"

"If it doesn't sink, then it's going to be a boarding battle.

It is nothing more than using ropes, hooks, and refusing to hook enemy warships, climb over, and fight with them in close combat.

But fighting in close combat on a ship is not about formation, nor is it about swords and armor, but about life, because there is nowhere to escape on the ship.

As for bravery, believers are not even afraid of death, who can work harder than them? "

The eminent monk nodded in agreement. No one can win against Buddhists in terms of hard work. They don't know what death is, and they just think it's going to the bliss of the Western Paradise.

The order was conveyed, and the bell of the attack was soon remembered.

Countless large ships with strange shapes began to accelerate, and beside them were countless small ships, all heading in the direction of the Dreadnought Fleet.

Countless waves were stirred up, and countless Amitabha Buddhas... The momentum was huge, and it seemed that they wanted to have a head-on confrontation with the battleship.

Daochen's eyes were full of compassion: "This Baekje will eventually be my Daochen's world!"

During the conversation, the distance between the two sides gradually approached.

It was so close that the Tang army's warship was dark and weird, and it was so close that you could see the flag of the opponent's army flying.

And at this time.

Tang Jun's warship stopped slowly and pointed its weak flanks forward.

Dao Chen stretched his neck, frowned tightly, and looked at Tang Jun's move with some puzzlement.

What tactic is this?

Open the warship to hit yourself?

He didn't understand.

at the same time.

Liu Rengui's eyes lit up, and he yelled, "Fire!!"

all of a sudden.

Chapter 215 Are They Aren't Afraid Of Death?

all of a sudden.

Dao Chen saw pitch-black cannonballs fired from the side openings of the Tang Army warship, and with a sharp whistling sound, they came straight towards him.

what weapon is this?

Before he could think any more, he heard a loud "boom boom~" and countless shells fell straight down.

The moment the cannonball hit the huge Buddha Dharma boat, pieces of wood flew across it, and a huge hole appeared, and then countless shells scrambled to smash the Dharma boat into a hornet's nest. destiny.

In his astonished eyes, the hull of the boat was overwhelmed, and it made a loud and tooth-piercing 'creak' sound. After a while, the hull of the boat broke, the Buddha statue collapsed, the river water invaded it mercilessly, and the hull sank slowly.

The monk who was hit on the boat turned into blood mist directly. The robes on his body and the ring scar on his head did not add any defense to them, but unlike the others, they left pieces of broken yellow cloth where they disappeared.

Countless monks and monks fell into the water in response, like bald drowned chickens, holding the driftwood in horror, and chanting in a daze: "Buddha bless... the evil spirits are coming..."

As for the small boat, after being hit, the whole ship disintegrated on the spot, and the people flew directly into the sky with the huge waves, and when they fell, there were only countless logs.

The waves overturned the surrounding boats, and the believers fell into the river, but after a while, they floated up again.

Their minds were blank, and they let the splashing waves fall on their faces, watching the disappearance of other believers in bewilderment, not knowing what happened, and whether they would be the ones who disappeared in the next moment.

Someone shouted Amitabha in the face of fear, and ran away with hands and feet.

When someone is afraid of death, they are more convinced of the existence of the Buddha and believe in the faith in their hearts.

Some people even looked at the floating corpses with envy, envied them for dedicating their lives to the Buddha, and envied them for becoming Bodhisattvas under the Buddha's seat.

But more people's eyes were full of fanaticism, and they ran frantically towards the battleship ahead, shouting loudly.

"Consummation of merit and virtue, I also want to complete merit and virtue!"

"I want to go to Xitian Bliss too!"

"Bless the Buddha!"

At this moment, countless people shouted with madness and distorted faces.

Facing the situation where death may occur at any time and the fear of the unknown, the original lack of sanity was completely lost at this moment, and he rushed towards the battleship ahead like a wild beast.

But Dao Chen, who is a living Buddha, had long since disappeared his kindness and kindness, his face was pale and terrified.

The expected collision and boarding battle did not happen, only one side was destroyed, the French ship was destroyed like a piece of paper, and courage and confidence were also destroyed.

He finally understood why the Tang army dared to fight them with only ten warships, and why Pyongyang and Anshicheng retreated in such a short period of time.

This kind of weapon is no longer something ordinary people can resist, and he even doubts that Xiongjin City can't resist this kind of weapon.

run!Run!

Get out of here quickly before the artillery fire hits your face.

Thinking of this, Dao Chen hastily ordered the monk beside him: "Hurry up, sail the boat, get out of here!!"

"Impossible!" The eminent monk explained in a very urgent tone with despair: "The believers' boats have blocked all the roads behind, and they cannot retreat."

Dao Chen turned his head to look, and saw countless believers behind him seemed to be crazy, all of them rowed the boat and shouted Buddha's blessing, and rushed forward.

"Crazy, all crazy!"

After all, he didn't care about anything, and directly took off the cassock of the living Buddha, revealing the figure of the [-]-jin Buddha, jumped into the water, splashed a huge splash, and floated on the water towards the shore to escape.

The rest of the eminent monks looked at each other in blank dismay, and followed closely after gritting their teeth.

At the same time, on the tower of Woongjin City.

When King Yici and all the civil and military officials saw countless water splashes in the twenty miles, their expressions suddenly became serious, and when they heard the bursts of gunfire, everyone couldn't sit still.

An official stared wide-eyed and watched in horror as countless French boats shattered and sank amidst the spray.

"Its sound is like thunder, whistling, and its power is infinite, as if divine power descends, hence the name Shenwei Cannon. This is Tang Jun's Shenwei Cannon!"

"This is the power of the Shenwei Cannon? No wonder Goguryeo couldn't resist it!" an official murmured, looking at it in a daze.

"Then I'll wait for Xiongjin City, it's in danger!"

After seeing the power of the Shenwei cannon, everyone knew that Xiongjin City was just the next Pyongyang City.

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, conveying their own meaning.

A moment later, under the expectant eyes of everyone, an elderly official walked forward slowly with his head down, begging cautiously in a low voice with sweat profusely on his head.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is coming fiercely, and the Living Buddha may not be able to hold on. Shall we retreat to Bacheng?"

The implication is very clear, there is no point in holding on, it is time to consider whether to surrender or continue to resist!

If King Yija hadn't guarded their families in Juba Castle, no one would have come to Woongjin Castle ahead.
