On the surface of the Haohao River, blue waves are rippling.
A towering and huge warship sailed quickly on the river. On each warship, there is a battle flag of Xia Kingdom, and the battle flags are fluttering in the air in the wind, making a sound of hunting.
On the deck of the Jiaolong battleship, Du Qi supported the ship's side with his hands, looking at the clear river, with a look of expectation in his eyes. Now that it is September, the wind from the river is blowing, and it is quite cool on people.
At this moment, it was Shangguanyi who came. After he stood still, he bowed to Du Qi and said, "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the Tang army has sent troops. The leaders are brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche. Xue Wanjun is the commander, Xue Wanche is the deputy commander, and Xu Jingzong is the Military division. There are about 100,000 people in the Tang army. All of them went north along the river in warships, ready to resist us."
Du Qi said: "It's a pity that Li Shimin never came in person. If Li Shimin came to supervise the battle in person, after defeating Li Shimin on the river, it would be difficult for Li Shimin to escape again."
Shangguan Yi said sternly: "Your Majesty, although Li Shimin never personally led the army, at this point, Li Shimin's presence or absence has little influence. With Li Shimin's presence, after defeating Li Shimin's army, Li Tang will be defeated sooner. Li Shimin is not around." , This wave of one hundred thousand Tang troops is defeated, and Li Shimin will have no foundation and no chance. Even if Li Shimin is in Jiangdu, Yangzhou, he will be powerless, and it is impossible to reverse the situation."
Du Qidao: "It is true."
Today's Datang has only one battle left.
Once the Tang army on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is defeated and Li Shimin loses his troops, it will be impossible to reverse the situation.
Only defeat.
Shangguanyi seemed quite looking forward to it, and looked relaxed, and continued: "Based on the time, it is estimated that the Tang army will arrive soon. After all, it takes a lot of time for the news to come and go. Right now, we can prepare for the battle. "
Du Qidao: "Let's arrange it."
"yes!"
Shangguanyi immediately went to deliver the order.
In a short time, the order for the whole army to be on alert was conveyed.
Du Qi was still standing on the deck, waiting quietly. After waiting for a while, Tang Jun did not appear. Du Qi was a little bored, so he called Shangguanyi to play chess. The two sat on the deck, basking in the sun, drinking tea and playing chess, their days were quite leisurely.
After all, there is nothing to do on the boat.
Now Du Qi and Shangguanyi play chess, which can also pass the time. The draft of the warship was very deep. Although it continued to move forward, the warship was not bumped or unstable, as if it was on land. Time passed quietly, after noon, the sun disappeared, and the sky became slightly gloomy.
However, for Du Qi and Shangguanyi, it didn't affect him at all, they still played chess. As for such weather, it will not have much impact on Du Qi's army. Even if the weather is gloomy, the cannons on the ship can still fire without being affected by the weather.
"Report!"
Suddenly, on the mast of the warship, a soldier shouted.
The soldiers on the mast of the battleship are specially equipped with better binoculars for guarding. In today's telescopes, the lenses have been replaced, and they can see farther away, which is enough to see clearly the scene 800 steps away, and even blurry to see the scene 1000 steps away.
After the soldiers shouted, the soldiers on the masts of the other warships followed suit to warn.
At first, it didn't look very real. Because the two sides were heading towards each other at a very high speed, after a while, the sentry soldiers saw clearly that it was Tang Jun's warship that was coming. Warships of the Tang Dynasty straddled the river and were advancing rapidly. The distance between the two sides has been shortened to about 800 steps in a short period of time.
When Du Qi heard the news reported by the soldiers, a smile appeared on his face. He mentioned a sunspot and said with a smile: "Shangguanyi, this round is over."
Shangguanyi glanced at it and said: "Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, and I can't match them."
Du Qi turned his gaze, landed on Xue Rengui who was not far away, and ordered: "Xue Rengui!"
"exist!"
Xue Rengui answered immediately.
Du Qidao: "After passing the order, all the warships will change their formation and line up to form a six-row formation, each anchored and docked. All the artillery will be in place immediately, aiming at the Tang army's warships ahead. If it is on land, we will fire , Li Shimin's people can escape. But on the river, even if they march, they are still living targets, and they can be directly bombarded for a while. After their warships are destroyed, they will be fish on the chopping board, and we will slaughter them."
Xue Rengui said: "I obey!"
For Xue Rengui, this??A rehearsal has already been done, so Xue Rengui is not in a hurry. Following his order, the Jiaolong was at the forefront, and there were two warships on each side.
The five warships in the first row were soon in place.
Immediately afterwards, the five warships in the second row were lined up, and immediately the warships in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rows were all in place, and all the thirty warships in the sixth row docked together. It's like arraying on land.
"Six hundred steps!"
At this moment, the sentry soldiers on the Jiaolong shouted again. He is the distance he estimated, and only such an experienced person can directly estimate the distance with a pair of eyes.
The distance was shortened to 600 steps, and there was no action for the time being.
Because it is not yet the optimal distance.
At the same time, the artillery is also adjusting the angle, and at the same time measuring the wind speed and direction. An experienced artillery will take the wind speed and direction into account when firing, so that it can aim and carry out precise strikes.
Du Qi was already standing on the deck looking into the distance, with a smile in his eyes.
He could predict that since Li Shimin dared to make such an arrangement, he must actually have great hopes, and even the soldiers he sent were skilled in water warfare. Even for Li Shimin to achieve the goal of the water battle, the two sides may even cause the warship to collide. Because on the side of the Tang army, only when the warships approached, Li Shimin's navy could exert the strongest combat effectiveness.
Unfortunately, Li Shimin is doomed to be delusional.
There is no doubt that they will lose.
As the distance got closer, when the distance was less than 400 steps, Xue Rengui stopped hesitating when he heard the sentinel report the distance between the two sides, and said decisively: "Fire!"
With the sound of firing, the order to fire was given.
The messenger immediately waved the command flag, and the messengers on all the warships immediately conveyed the order as soon as they saw it, and all the artillerymen knew it in a short time, and immediately loaded the shells and fired.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
The sound of cannons one after another sounded at this moment.
On every warship, there were mortars roaring, and as the smoke and dust rose, one after another shells had risen, and then passed through the air, heading straight for Tang Jun's warships.
