"General! No way! Our ship can't match their speed. If we keep going like this, we will be overtaken sooner or later!"
Above the sea, the bearded lieutenant looked anxiously at the Goguryeo warships that were getting closer and closer behind him. He felt that his heart was about to pop out of his chest!
All of them knew that if they were caught up by those Goguryeo people today, judging from their overwhelming numbers, they would definitely be in trouble!
"The speed is not enough? What should I do?!"
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Zhang Liang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot! He walked around on the deck several times, but he couldn't think of a useful solution.
In fact, from this point, we can see the difference between Zhang Liang and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.
Needless to say, Li Jing and Li Ji are such ruthless people!
Even if they are like Cheng Yaojin or Liu Hongji, they will never panic like Zhang Liang when they encounter difficulties!
As a general, he is the backbone of everyone! Everyone can panic and mess up! Only the general can't mess up!
If the general is in chaos, then there will be no need to fight this battle!
Speaking of which, this means that on the sea, everyone is just a grasshopper on the same boat, and they can’t run away even if they want to.
If we were on land and saw such a useless general, all his soldiers would have fled long ago.
It’s true that people follow you, but they follow you to build a career, not to accompany you to death!
"General! Make up your mind what to do! Brothers, watch!"
Realizing that Zhang Liang was helpless at the moment, the bearded lieutenant's heart immediately beat twice hard!
He does not ask for Zhang Liang to be like Zhuge Wuhou, wearing a feather fan and a turban, and his enemies are wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing!
But in this situation, you, the general, should come up with an idea!
Even if this idea is stinky and wrong! It's better than having everyone wait with him!
"This...let me think about it again, think about it..."
"Father!"
Just when Zhang Liang looked at his subordinates around him with a guilty conscience, his godson general suddenly gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "The enemy's ship ran fast because they threw everything on the ship.
In the sea, why don’t we also throw away some things to reduce the weight!”
"Throw something?"
When Zhang Liang, who was completely panicked, heard this man's words, he immediately nodded like a drowning man grasping the last straw: "Yes, yes, yes, let people throw away everything! Quick! Don't pity things.
, Throw away everything you can! As long as we return to the shore, we will be saved!"
"Here!"
"Quick, throw it!"
As soon as Zhang Liang's order came out, the four ships that were still sailing quickly began to throw things into the sea.
This sudden move startled the Goguryeo people behind, thinking that this was another new weapon from the Tang Dynasty!
After hurriedly slowing down and carefully avoiding the thrown debris, they dared to speed up and catch up again.
"No, it's still too slow!"
When everything on the ship has been thrown away, there is nothing left to throw away, and if you throw it away again, you have to throw it away.
Zhang Liang found that his boat was not sailing as fast as expected, and he suddenly became anxious again.
"Father! We still have things to throw away!"
Zhang Liang's adopted son's eyes flickered and he raised his hands again and said.
"What else? What else?"
Zhang Liang was a little surprised. Just now, they had even thrown away the spare clothes and pants on the boat. They almost took off the rudder and threw it into the sea together. What else was left behind?
"And... there are also those cannons in the cabin!" Zhang Liangyizi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Anyway, now that we have run out of ammunition, they are completely useless and they still take up weight on the ship, so why not..."
"no!"
Zhang Liang finally understood what his adopted son meant this time. However, he, who had always been indecisive, finally made a decisive decision and immediately shook his head firmly and rejected this person's idea!
Others don't know it, but as the commander-in-chief of an army, he still knows the special nature of these cannons!
Not to mention the amount of money required to cast such a cannon is sky-high!
Let’s just say that these cannons have serial numbers engraved on them from the moment they are cast!
And where each one of them went and where it was used will be recorded in detail in Baiqi's documents and submitted to the emperor for inspection!
With such an important thing, even if one door is broken accidentally, the emperor will probably know about it and take action personally!
If he throws them all into the water, Zhang Liang can imagine that the emperor will definitely sink him into the water too!
"Father! It's already this time, why are you still keeping them?!"
Zhang Liang's adopted son did not expect that Zhang Liang would refuse so firmly, and he suddenly became anxious.
He was still young and still had a lot of time, but he never thought about being buried with these dead things!
"No!" Facing the eager godson, Zhang Liang still shook his head firmly, and said in an unquestionable tone: "The people are on the ship, and the ship is on the cannon! Unless all the people are dead and the ship sinks, otherwise
No one is allowed to touch them!"
"Father!"
Seeing Zhang Liang's firm words, the general could only stamp his feet fiercely and said: "In that case! There is still a way for me!"
"Oh?" This time, Zhang Liang asked anxiously: "What method?"
Zhang Liang's adopted son took a deep breath and slowly spat out a few words: "Throw away the car, save the handsome man!"
"hiss……"
After hearing these words, Zhang Liang took a deep breath!
"Father, let their three boats block it, let's go first! Let us go back and inform Luo Shixin, and then come back to rescue them!"
When the general saw this, he followed him in a low voice.
In fact, everyone on the ship knew that what he said about coming back to save people was just an empty lie!
When they really escaped and found Luo Shixin and brought people back, the three ships that were left behind would have been torn into pieces!
Still want to save people then? Go to the bottom of the sea and save them!
"This, let me think about it..." Faced with his adopted son's proposal, Zhang Liang hesitated!
Zhang Liang is a little bit behind in military leadership, but he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!
In addition, the people on those three ships were all his direct troops, so they were abandoned. Zhang Liang felt that his heart was bleeding!
"Can't think about it anymore!"
Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and now he could clearly see the opponent's distorted face, the general became anxious and immediately knelt down on one knee and said to Zhang Liang: "General, please give the order quickly! If it's too late, I'm afraid it will happen.
It’s too late, by then none of us can run away!”
"I, I..." Facing his adopted son who was kneeling on the ground, Zhang Liang was in a state of confusion!
At this time, he had begun to regret this trip to sea without permission!
If he had returned to his hometown of Dengzhou honestly, there would not have been such an unmanageable situation!
