Li Baoliang quickly replied.

At the same time, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and others also felt that the entire giant steel ship was slowly sailing out.

It's getting faster.

He no longer cared about the steam engine, and looked at the sea in front of him expectantly.

Soon, the giant steel ship sailed out of the dock and entered the sea.

Li Baoliang shouted again: "Hang up all the sails and side sails, and the steel ship will move forward at full speed!"

"Yes!"

All the sub-classes quickly hung up all the sails.

The speed of the entire giant steel ship was once again much faster.

At the same time, the hundreds of laborers also put away their oars.

The sea breeze rushed towards them, shaking the hair and clothes of Li Yuan and the others.

Seeing the sea fish in the sea being overtaken by the huge ship, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but be shocked.

"How could it be so fast? Besides, Gongshe also took away the oars?"

"That's a steam engine driving a giant steel ship!"

Li Xuan explained.

"Is it the machine that can be turned by burning fire that you asked Letai and others to make?"

It was only then that Li Yuan remembered that last year in the shipyard, Zhimo Zheletai showed them the machine that could turn iron sheets.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, "Installing a few steam engines of that kind in the cabin, burning the charcoal, and then turning the iron sheets, can travel much faster than a group of workers' laboriously paddling the oars!"

"Not only is it fast, it can travel thousands of miles a day!"

Li Yuan said with emotion all over his face.

Li Xiaogong, Li Chengqian and others also nodded repeatedly.

With such skill, the coastline of the shipyard has become a thin line in their eyes.

The two sides of the Strait are the land of Dengzhou, Baekje, and Goguryeo!

"Only with such a giant steel ship, can our Navy of the Great Tang sail across the oceans, across thousands of miles of ocean, and turn those unoccupied continents into the territory of our Great Tang!" Li Xuan looked confident.

"If my Tang Dynasty had a hundred of these giant steel ships, I only need to give me an army of one hundred thousand to conquer small countries such as Goguryeo and Baekje!"

On the side, Lee Hyo-gong also looked at Baekje and Goguryeo on the opposite side with a look of anticipation.

"Two small countries the size of a palm, why need a hundred thousand!"

Li Xuan sneered, and said confidently, "[-] elite soldiers in heavy armor, take a boat across the sea directly from Qingzhou Port, land from Baekje, push them all the way across, and they will surely destroy the country!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help trembling, and turned his head to stare at the left side, where the bank of Baekje was clearly visible, his face was full of excitement.

"In this way, my Tang Dynasty finally has the hope of revenge!"

Although Goguryeo occupies a small area, it is an eternal pain for Datang.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times and used millions of laborers. However, due to the huge loss of transportation of food, grass and baggage, coupled with the command of Emperor Sui Yang's obsession, millions of soldiers were directly injured, and the entire Sui Dynasty treasury was dragged down, making Goguryeo even more arrogant. .

"The cement road from Chang'an to Qingzhou transports grain, grass, and supplies. Not only is the speed fast, but also the loss is very small. Then it is transported by sea from Qingzhou, and the soldiers wear cotton coats and gloves. There are plenty of grain, grass, and excellent weapons. As long as your majesty wants to conquer Baekje or Goguryeo It can be destroyed!"

Li Xuan looked confident.

"Hahaha, in this way, Goguryeo and Baekje children, no matter how arrogant they are, they will destroy their cities and destroy their countries..."

Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and others were also overjoyed.

After that, it continued to rampage for half an hour.

The field of vision in front of Li Yuan and others widened again, the deep blue sea and the blue sky were directly connected together.

Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others couldn't help being shocked again, and watched quietly.

After a while, Li Yuan came back to his senses.

"Xuanba, is this place really entering the ocean?"

"Almost!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly.

This was the first time in his life that he entered the ocean by boat.

"Where is the Wa Kingdom?" Li Yuan continued to ask.

"Behind Baekje and Silla!"

Li Xuan picked it up thousands of miles away, looked for a while, but couldn't find it.

"After Baekje and Silla?"

Hearing that, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and others picked up clairvoyance and searched for a long time, but all they saw was the coastline of Baekje, so they stopped searching.

However, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others, who had traveled so far by boat for the first time, once again took clairvoyance and looked around.

After another hour of rampage, the country of Wa was still not seen.

So, in order to return to Qingzhou before dark.

After getting off the boat, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and the others were still unsatisfied.

For several days, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others all took the steel boat and went out for a lap.

It is as far as the southern section of Baekje and as close as Goguryeo Beisha City (Dalian).

However, they were all viewed from a distance, and did not dock.

"Ok?"

On the huge Cang Ship, he was holding his clairvoyance to watch Beisha City Cheng Chusi, when he stared at one place suddenly, he exclaimed.

"Master, look at that little mound!"

"What little mound?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and he slowly raised his clairvoyant eyes to look in the direction Cheng Chusi pointed.

"Master, the mound about three or four feet high under Beisha City!" Cheng Chusi said anxiously.

"See, what's so strange..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuan immediately shut up and quickly turned the clairvoyance in his hand.

On the side, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and others also looked at that place with curiosity on their faces.

"Hejian County King, is that Jingguan?"

Li Xuan gritted his teeth tightly and said word by word.

"What Jingguan?"

Li Chengqian asked curiously.

However, this time, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and the others were all looking at that small mound of dirt, and they couldn't even pay attention to Li Chengqian.

"Back to King Jin, it must be Jingguan!"

Li Xiaogong said bitterly, looking at the small hill in the distance, he gritted his teeth, his eyes spit fire!

When Li Tang fought in the world, he was defeated once, and his soldiers were piled up into a tragic experience in Jingguan.

Therefore, Li Xiaogong was extremely impressed with Jingguan!

"Li Baoliang!"

Li Xuan turned around and shouted.

Soon, Li Baoliang, the chief officer of the steel ship, ran over quickly.

"Follow that harbor and lean over!"

Li Xuan pointed at the pile of mounds and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, that is Beisha City in Goguryeo. There are 1 horsemen stationed all year round, and there are more than [-] residents. We only have [-] soldiers. You, the Supreme Emperor, His Royal Highness, and Hejian County King are respected. Don't take risks!"

Li Baoding's face was filled with embarrassment.

"The Supreme Emperor and the crown prince stay on the boat, and the king can go down with four hundred personal guards. If they lose to the Goguryeo soldiers and go ashore directly in a small boat, what can they do to me?"

Li Xuan shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Li Baoliang quickly and subconsciously looked at Li Yuan who was beside him.

On this steel ship, there are four people who are most respected by Datang, and every one of them is injured, and Datang will be shocked.

Originally, he was already very frightened when he was running rampant in the sea every day.

Now, His Royal Highness King Jin is going to Beisha City again?

Seeing this, Li Yuan also reacted.

There are three thousand Goguryeo garrisons in Nabeisha city.

And on the boat, there are only four hundred personal guards!

"Xuan Ba, this matter is not suitable for taking risks. In addition, it is getting late, why not order the Qingzhou and Dengzhou naval forces to come here tomorrow, with two thousand soldiers, even if the Goguryeo army surrounds us, we can retreat completely!"

……

Chapter 475 Gao Jianwu Damn it!

Hearing this, Li Xuan calmed down a little.

Because, he saw that on the Beisha city, it seemed that Goguryeo soldiers had discovered them, and there was a large group of soldiers coming down the mountain.

Even if he is confident, with four hundred personal guards, he can repel those Goguryeo soldiers.

However, not all of them can be left behind.

Moreover, the casualties of the personal guards will certainly not be small.

Having been together for such a long time, they are already his own brothers, and Li Xuan is willing to let himself do whatever he wants, and let several of his personal guards die for no reason.

"So, let's get closer, I want to observe carefully!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Li Baoliang was slightly relieved.

As long as he doesn't disembark, he can rest assured.

Even if there are more Goguryeo soldiers and horses, they can't help them.

Afterwards, Li Baoliang commanded the giant ship, which slowly approached the shore.

When it was about five hundred steps from the shore, it stopped.

"His Royal Highness, this place has already reached its limit, and the big ship will easily run aground any further!" Li Baoliang reported to Li Xuan cautiously.

"This distance is enough!"

Li Xuan took a deep breath. From such a long distance, he could see the small hill with only his eyes.

Then, he raised his clairvoyance and looked at the small hill.

After seeing it clearly, Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.

On the small mound about ten meters high, if you look closely, there are densely packed heads.

Under the wind and sun, some of the clay between the skulls had fallen, and the skulls and the entire skeleton were hanging in the air during this period.

On the side, Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and others, who saw this kind of situation for the first time, were all dumbfounded.

"Master, is this Jingguan?"

"In ancient times, the king of the Ming Dynasty was disrespectful, and he took the whale salamander and conferred it on him. He thought it was a big slaughter, so there was a Jingguan to punish prostitution."

Li Yuan was on the side, and replied with a gloomy face.

"During the pre-Qin period, after the great powers conquered and defeated the enemy, they collected the dead soldiers' bones of the enemy, piled them up into hills, and rammed them with soil to call them Jingguan. It was a plan to show off their force to the four countries, and it also meant to punish them. Humiliation!"
