King Yici's face was pale, and he looked at the officials in front of him coldly.

How could he not understand what the official said.

Tang Jun showed the mighty cannon, which means that all the news is true. This is a doomed defeat, and he will definitely die.

"Brother Wang, is there no firewood left for the green hills?" Fuyu Yici's younger brother, Fuyu Tai, was also impatient at the moment, and knelt down in front of King Yici, crying and begging.

"Yeah, brother, let's run away, let's regain Baekje in a few decades!!"

"You go if you want!" King Yici looked at his own brother with soft eyes.

As soon as the words fell, countless civil servants and Wu Ru came to the amnesty and scattered.

On the tower, only Fuyu Yici and Fuyu Tai brothers were left.

Fuyu Tai looked at Fuyu Yici anxiously and puzzled and asked, "Why doesn't Brother Wang leave? If Brother Wang doesn't leave, it will be too late!" He said that he was about to pull Fuyu Yici away together.

With a wave of his right hand, Fuyu Yici directly swung Fuyutai away, staring at him, breathing gradually heavy.

"My late father, King Wu, was born in a poor and humble family, selling sweet potatoes for a living, but married the current princess, and became a great king with amazing genius and wisdom, but he was old and discouraged, and his ambition was no longer.

From civil and military officials addicted to wine and sex, down to the old and weak, women and children superstitious about Buddhism. "

While speaking, his face was full of regret, and ambition and longing were revealed in his eyes.

"What would it have been like if we relied on sweet potatoes to garrison millions of troops in the early years, first destroying Silla, then Goguryeo, and finally stepping into the Tang Dynasty?"

"Brother Wang, let's go! It's too late if you don't leave!" Fu Yutai directly pulled Fu Yu Yici's shoulder and said.

"Let's go!" Fuyu Yici shook his head and refused again: "I am the king of Baekje. You told me to live the life of wandering, and told me to bear it. You might as well kill me."

"I am a king, even if I die, I should die dignifiedly!"

"Brother Wang!!"

Fu Yutai wanted to do something else, but Fu Yu Yici waved his hands and the two soldiers beside him stopped him directly.

at the same time.

In the captain's room of the Dreadnought, Li Shimin and the others looked at the waters ahead with binoculars.

After a round of artillery fire, the French ships on the river were basically destroyed, and a small part of the small boats were also cleared, leaving some sparse gaps.

But soon, the blank water area was filled by the warship behind him, and he continued to run towards the warship.

According to previous expectations, the scene of the enemy fleeing after a round of artillery fire did not appear, but the enemy continued to advance bravely. This is a scene that has never been seen before.

"How could this be?" Li Shimin looked at the countless splashes on the river, feeling extremely surprised.

In the past, after a round of artillery fire, the enemy troops fled in all directions, and there has never been one who bravely went forward against the artillery fire.

"This minister doesn't know..."

"This~"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one knew why this happened.

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, then frowned and replied, "I would like to report to Your Majesty, perhaps it is because of Buddhism."

"Buddhism?"

"What does this have to do with Buddhism?"

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Changsun Wuji explained: "Buddhism preaches going to the west after death, and most people in Baekje believe in Buddhism, so Baekje can call on believers, and they are not afraid of death."

Li Shimin felt unbelievable about this, it was ridiculous that some people believed this kind of nonsense.

"... Is it possible that there are people in this world who are not afraid of artillery fire?"

Liu Rengui, who was holding the rudder beside him, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Do you want to continue firing?"

"Try again, I still don't believe that there are people in this world who are not afraid of cannons!"

Li Shimin does not believe that there are people in this world who are not afraid of cannons.

"Yes!" Liu Rengui conveyed his order to the microphone: "Keep firing!"

"Yes!"

With the waving of the flag, countless shells were fired from the openings on the sides of all the battleships again, covering the river ahead.

The huge impact force of the shell smashed the boat into pieces, and then fell into the river, causing huge splashes. The splashes carried broken wood and flew up to a height of several meters before slowly falling down to form undulating waves.

"Should they be afraid now!?" Li Shimin murmured as he looked at Jiang Mian who couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a while, the river calmed down, and pieces of wood and corpses floated in the river, leaving a blank area of ​​water.

But the Baekje people were not scared and fled in all directions. Instead, they rowed the wooden boat faster and filled the blank water area.

This scene shocked everyone in the captain's room.

"Buddhism is really harmful!" Li Shimin said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

Everyone nodded in agreement, never dreaming that they would meet so many believers who are not afraid of death.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is approaching me. Do you still want to fire?" Liu Rengui, holding the rudder of the ship, heard Li Shimin's emotion and asked.

Li Shimin thought for a moment.

Now that there are so many believers, artillery fire can't solve it, and the enemy is not afraid of death, so how to deal with the enemy has become a troublesome matter.

With the hardness of the steel of the battleship, it can directly smash the wooden boat in front and rush all the way to the bottom of Woongjin City.

But once the opponent ignites or brings kerosene, the steel battleship will face the flames.

Chapter 216 Why Are You So Confident

The wind on the river is so strong, and the boats on the river are so dense, if you don't pay attention, you will die together.

Normal people would not do this, but it is obvious that the enemy's brains are obviously not normal. If they really set fire to it, once the ammunition of the battleship explodes, all of them will go to heaven.

Facing this group of believers, everyone felt very distressed, and the damage was not high, but they couldn't be cleaned up for a while, and they were very unwilling to retreat. It was like meeting Brother Pingtou, feeling uncomfortable all over.

For a while, Li Shimin couldn't think of a way, so he glanced at them and asked the crowd directly: "Nowadays, the artillery fire makes it difficult for them to take the place. What do you think?"

"To capture the thief first, capture the king. The one who can have such an appeal must be the Buddhist Dao Chen. If he can capture that Dao Chen and force him to let the believers retreat, this battle will be won."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and offered a suggestion.

"Well, it makes sense!" Li Shimin nodded, how could he forget this.

The cannon is useless to these ordinary believers, but it will definitely be useful to Daochen, he can't be a stupid monk to get into this position.

As long as you are not stupid, you will definitely be afraid of death, so it will be easy to handle.

"I'm afraid this won't work either!" Liu Rengui, who was at the helm, raised his head and signaled the crowd to look into the distance.

Everyone followed his gaze, and saw the densely packed enemy boats on the river, attacking the battleship, while the opponent's command ship was at a relatively rear position.

Liu Rengui narrowed his eyes and said, "The Daochen's boat should be the most luxurious one, but it's probably five miles away from us. If you want to catch Daochen, you have to go through the army."

"If there is a team of heavy cavalry on the ground, you can try to charge, but there is no place to stay on the river, and if the river is turbulent and falls into the water, I am afraid that the combat power will be lost."

"Although this is a group of rabble, if they fall into the water, they may be surrounded and die from exhaustion."

"Yeah, I'm afraid this method won't work!"

Li Shimin shook his head thinking so far, the difficulty is too great, he can try it on land, but the difficulty on the river is too great.

"Then let's give up on this method. I'll find a place to go ashore, and send heavy cavalry to rush into Xiongjin City, capture Baekje Yici, and threaten him to order Daochen to look like me."

"Taking Daochen under the guise of the king, he captured the thief leader in a disguised form."

"This method is very good!"

This method has a relatively high degree of feasibility, and it is still possible for heavy cavalry to crush this group of mobs.

at this time.

Su Dingfang, who had been silent in the corner for a long time, said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the general try."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes turned to Su Dingfang, and only then did they remember that there was such a number one person on the battleship.

With Su Dingfang's martial arts skills, he shouldn't be so low-key.

But he never expected that fighting now does not rely on martial arts, but most of the time it relies on cannons, which can only be used by the Vanguard Battalion when they go ashore.

Times have changed....

Su Dingfang often lamented that his martial arts skills had no future, and he pestered his instructor every day to learn how to fire a gun, but the results in more than 20 days were not great.

Now there is an opportunity in front of him, and Su Dingfang doesn't want to let it go.

"Oh?" Everyone looked at Su Dingfang with suspicion.

In the face of many questioning eyes, Su Dingfang's tone was firm, his eyes were sharp, and he said loudly.

"When attacking the Turks, the last general was the vanguard. He once led a hundred cavalry, passed through thousands of troops, cut down the flag of the enemy commander, and attacked Najieli Khan's tooth tent.

The last general will guarantee with his life that he will definitely attack the ship and capture the leader of the bandit, Daochen. Your Majesty, please allow the last general to fight! ! "

When Li Shimin heard it, his eyes were very appreciative, but he didn't agree. He reminded him kindly: "You have to think about it, this doesn't need the land. There is no place to stay in the river. If you fall into the water, you may be in danger of your life." .”

The meaning of caring in the words is already very obvious. After all, he is Li Jing's disciple, and he will definitely be a fierce general in the future.

If he fails, his career in the future may be even more difficult, and even his life may be in danger if he falls into the water. He doesn't want to lose such a fierce general.

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it carefully, please allow your Majesty!" Su Ding said with a serious face.

"How sure are you?" Li Shimin asked again.

"If you can't fight, then you don't have [-]% certainty. If you can't fight, you have [-]% certainty." Su Dingfang said firmly without hesitation.

"Why are you so confident!?" Li Shimin nodded, admiring Su Dingfang's confidence.

"Even if the enemy is numerous and we are few, the last general can take the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops.

Even if a monk has millions of mobs, capturing him alive is as easy as picking something out of a pocket. "

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of everyone in the captain's room exchanged silently.

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth was also twitching, and he was able to give him a step down. It seems that he doesn't need steps, maybe... maybe this can really be done.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you try it. They can't pose a threat to the battleship in a short period of time, and they can persist for a while even if they are fireproof.

Thinking up to this point, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, since Aiqing is willing to ask for a fight, then I will allow Aiqing to ask for a fight."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" With Li Shimin's permission, Su Dingfang was overjoyed and saluted immediately.

Chapter 217 Ignorant and Fearless

Now that it has been confirmed, what needs to be given now are people and boats. Li Shimin asked: "How many people and boats does Aiqing need for this trip?"

"I only need fifty small boats and five hundred pioneers with good water quality." Su Dingfang replied without thinking.

"Okay, I agree!" Li Shimin frowned, and from the corner of his eye, he looked at the boats on the river twenty miles ahead, and then at Su Dingfang's confident face, looking forward to it in his heart.

"My order is for Su Dingfang to be the right general of the vanguard army, leading 500 warriors to go out to capture the leader of the bandits, Dao Chen."

Su Dingfang clasped his fists in salute and said: "The last general takes orders." After finishing speaking, he took the soldier amulet given by Li Shimin and turned towards the lower deck of the cabin.

He held up the token and quickly summoned the vanguard.

Soon the vanguard lined up neatly in front of him, looking at Su Dingfang suspiciously.

I saw Su Dingfang's eyes were determined, and after inspecting the neat vanguard one by one, he shouted loudly.

"Bewitched by Dao Chen, the bandit army has no fear of life and death. This general voluntarily asks for orders to capture the leader of the bandit, Dao Chen. Is there anyone who is not afraid of death and is willing to fight with this general!?"

"I...I would like to fight with the general"

"I would also like to fight with the general!"

As soon as the words fell, countless soldiers rushed to the battle and responded loudly. Su Dingfang nodded in satisfaction, and it was not in vain for him to stay in the vanguard for so long.

"Okay, the first 500 people will go out with me!"

"Yes!" The soldiers who were called out responded loudly, exchanging delighted glances, while the soldiers who were not called out showed regret and looked on enviously.

Fifty boats were quickly pushed into the water from the stern, forming an inverted V shape.

The boat in the front is Su Dingfang's boat. He is standing on the bow, with a long knife at his waist and a silver gun in his hand. The red tassels have been removed, and a Tang flag is hanging on it.

He turned his head and glanced at the faces of the soldiers one by one, and shouted in a firm tone.
