Chapter 2857 Standing in the sky, it can detect good treasures in a radius of more than 100 miles
The bumps in the sea caused the proud and pampered Crown Prince of China to suffer a lot.
Especially in the first few days, Brother Zhong could hardly eat and vomited everything he ate. Fortunately, he was very determined.
He refused the request of his subordinate Wenwu to choose another person as his commander, and insisted on leading the expedition himself.
After a short rest at Tsushima Island, a huge fleet composed of more than a thousand battleships once again embarked on the journey northward.
On the vast sea, a fleet of ships with exaggerated length and width was formed, heading northwest.
Not long after Cheng Sanlang received the news, Li Ji and the others also received information from Han and Tang trading houses.
The prince, the eldest brother of the Japanese kingdom, personally led the troops, with over a thousand warships and tens of thousands of troops, charging towards the mouth of the Baijiang River with murderous intent.
Faced with such news, Li Ji was not surprised but overjoyed. After all, from the very beginning, he and that boy Cheng Sanlang had repeatedly deduced the situation.
I just hope that the Japanese country can use all their elites to come to reinforce Baekje. Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty navy be able to rely on its own strong ships and artillery.
To the greatest extent possible, the troops and naval forces coming for reinforcements from the Japanese country were wiped out on this vast ocean.
As a result, the strength of the Japanese state was also severely damaged. Then, the Japanese state became an egg with its hard shell peeled off, and could only be flattened and rounded by the elites of the Tang Dynasty.
"This kid is amazing..." Li Ji couldn't help but sigh.
This caused all the generals around him to look at each other sideways.
"Commander, what's wrong? Could it be that that boy Cheng Sanlang did something else?"
"Before, I and that boy deduced military affairs. So far, the reaction of the Japanese country has been entirely reflected in Cheng Chubi's derivation."
"I don't know whether I should say that this boy is very lucky, or that he has such a vicious vision that he even knows the actions of the Japanese court thousands of miles away."
"...The Japanese navy is here?"
"Well, not only are they here, but they are also very large, with more than a thousand warships and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers."
"It seems that they have a big appetite. They want to swallow us in one bite. Unfortunately... they want to be too good."
"Come here, summon the generals and come here to discuss matters. Next, we have to make a careful plan and try to keep all the main forces of the Japanese country on the coast of Baekje."
"Here!"

The small island outside the mouth of Baijiang River is very lively and noisy at the moment, with many craftsmen busy at work.
At this moment, Wang Fangyi and several classmates were dressed up in fancy outfits and were sorting out a huge hot air balloon with the lower half painted blue and white and the top painted eye-catching red.
On another island, there is also a group of students from Cheng University who are busy preparing another hot air balloon.
After testing, in weather with good visibility, the hot air balloon can fly at an altitude of 150 feet.
With the telescope in their hands, they can even observe situations as far away as more than a hundred miles away.
In the following time, the two hot air balloons will take turns to take off to maintain an uninterrupted reconnaissance mission over this sea area.
Even at night, there will be a hot air balloon on duty in the sky. If a fleet comes, a large-scale light will be lit.
Therefore, even if it is not as easy to detect enemy intruders at night as it is during the day, it can still play a certain warning role.
Moreover, these hot air balloons have been tested in Dengzhou before, and can reach a height of 150 feet, and they still have enough power.
However, after reaching an altitude of 150 feet, the cold wind penetrated directly into my bones.
Moreover, it is more than 150 feet, and the strong wind at a high altitude makes it difficult for the hot air balloon to maintain its balance, unless the cable is no longer used and the hot air balloon is allowed to fly around blindly.
But then, I don’t even know where this thing will fly to, so how can it take on the important task of detecting the enemy and transmitting information?
And it is enough to be able to detect the surrounding sea surface within a radius of one or two hundred miles.
After waiting for the enemy fleet to sail for more than a hundred miles on the sea, they rushed over exhausted.
What was waiting for them was the Tang Dynasty Navy fleet, which had already been prepared and had even set up traps.

"The fuel is ready, the sandbags are ready, the fire is working, all the cables have been checked..."
As the leader of the Cheng University team appointed by Cheng Sanlang, Wang Fangyi took a deep breath and issued the order.
"The fairy basket begins to rise..."
Although everyone is more accustomed to calling this thing a hot air balloon, His Majesty has given it a new name. Even though this name has a strong Chinese folk fairy tale style, it still has to comply with His Majesty's will.
In the distance, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Navy on the cruise ships currently anchored in this area raised their heads and looked at the huge blue and white sphere that was slowly rising on the small island.
.
Although I had seen such wonderful treasures before at the naval base, I was still deeply shocked when I saw them again.
In particular, its sphere, which is so huge that it seems to be able to hold a room, slowly begins to get smaller as it rises toward the sky, until it reaches a certain height.
In people's eyes, it seems to be completely integrated with the blue sky and the white clouds.
"After applying the color like this, if you are not careful, you won't be able to detect it at all..." A naval officer couldn't help but whispered in a low voice.
"This is natural. I once asked those students from Cheng University and they said this technique is called camouflage."
"Camouflage? The disguise guy knows what it means. What the hell is this camouflage?"
"Haha, I was just as confused as you at that time. Do you know how they answered? Camouflage is the color that confuses your eyes so that you can't tell the difference between its camouflage and the environment."
"..."
At this moment, more than a hundred miles away, a fairy basket, also blue and white, hung high over a hidden bay.
On the fairy basket, two observation posts, dressed as bulky as bears, were searching around through the telescopes in their hands.
"What's going on? It's already this hour and I haven't seen it yet." One of them murmured softly while sniffing his nose.
"You're in a hurry, take your time, it's hundreds of miles away, do you really think it's so easy to find you?"
"Hey, hey, hey...over there, look over there,"
"It is indeed them, it must be them."
"Quickly, quickly send a message to the commander-in-chief and tell him that we have observed the location of friendly forces."
The other person who was wrapped like a bear quickly squatted down, took out a charcoal pen, wrote a few simple sentences on a piece of paper, and put it into a small metal box with a ring.
Then he brought a metal cylinder that could be separated into two pieces, hung the metal box on the hook on the surface of the metal cylinder, and closed the metal cylinder on a cable.
As soon as I let go of my hand, the heavy metal tube quickly slid downward along the cable...
