It was also at the time when Li Chengqian was having a heated fight with Soga Ishikawa.
There was also fighting at sea.
In order to avenge his son's shame, Li Xiaogong led all his troops to withdraw from Li Chengqian's established defense line and ran straight towards the Japanese naval fleet.
The navy of the Tang Dynasty was improved because of a cheating guy like Li Chengqian.
Both the sturdiness of the ship and the speed of the ship have been greatly improved.
In addition, there are also products of this era such as gunboats.
When they fight, they rely entirely on technology to crush everything.
And Li Xiaogong, a veteran who has never lost a water battle, also brought his water battle skills to the extreme.
Seventy warships were lined up in a row. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a big hand spread out and slapping towards the enemy.
When there are still six to seven hundred steps away from the enemy.
Li Xiaogong waved the battle flag in his hand.
As his battle flag waved, three gunboats sailed out of the queue of many ships.
At the same time, the gun doors on the gunboat were opened one after another, and the cannons emitting a black light representing death were pushed out by the artillerymen inside the ship.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiaogong's face was inexplicably excited.
When he led troops to fight earlier, the warships could only rely on the back-and-forth advancement of the navies of both sides to compete for advantages and disadvantages.
Nowadays, Datang's military has achieved unprecedented development.
Especially in the navy, due to the use of artillery in actual combat, Datang was able to wipe out the enemy from a hundred steps away.
This is a scene that veterans like Li Xiaogong are very willing to see.
After all, the Tang Dynasty was conquered by them with their blood and sweat.
And after them, someone in this world must stand up and protect them.
It turns out that they are very worried about what they will do after they die and what they will do when they get old.
But now, this worry is gone. As they age, a new generation of young generals will step forward.
After they die, their descendants will step forward to take over the battle flag in their hands.
"War is a technology as well as an art."
Li Xiaogong put away the battle flag and said without looking back: "Son, today I will show you how your father fights."
Look at my father's high-spirited appearance.
Li Chongyi suddenly had an illusion in his mind.
It seems that I am not on the sea now, but on the Yangtze River.
And we are not fighting the Japanese army now.
Instead, he was fighting Xiao Xian.
In that war, I commanded the Tang Dynasty navy to fight from west to east, and finally killed the entire navy of Xiao Mian.
In which battle, I laid the absolute foundation for the unification of the north and south of the Tang Dynasty.
It was also in that battle that his father was named the King of Hejian, and earned him the hereditary title of heir apparent.
Suddenly, Li Chongyi returned to reality.
He saw his father and the gray hair on his temples.
For a moment, Li Chongyi's nose felt sore and he felt like crying.
The Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and all foreign enemies were almost wiped out.
But these people are all old.
The eldest Li Jing is now in his sixties, while the youngest Li Shimin is almost forty now.
And I am already forty-three this year.
It seems that these are just things that happened in the blink of an eye.
It seems like just yesterday his father was chasing him all over the house with a gun in his hand.
But now I think
Think about it, how long has it been since I hit myself?
Li Chongyi bit his lip and said, "Dad, when this battle is over, go home and teach me the art of war and tactics. I want to learn more from you."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong turned his head suspiciously and looked at Li Chongyi with a puzzled face.
When he saw Li Chongyi's tearful eyes, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but smile.
He said: "You have a lot to learn, so let me finish this battle first."
"Otherwise you will lose the fight when the time comes, but don't say that you are my son, Li Xiaogong."
Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said, "I can't afford to lose that person."
Li Chongyi also laughed when he heard this.
He said: "Don't worry, Dad, I will never lose again."
It was just when the two men were having a conversation.
The war has quietly begun.
Datang's gunboat fired first, and the shocking sound of the cannon exploded on the sea.
Then an earth-shattering roar resounded throughout the world, raindrops of bullets roared in the air, and water columns kept rushing out of the sea like water dragons.
A Japanese warship was hit by two cannonballs on the side, and sawdust and broken limbs flew into the air with a loud noise.
Then the Japanese ships were hit one after another and sank one after another.
Gradually, this was no longer a war, but a unilateral massacre, a massacre of Japanese troops by the Tang Dynasty.
It's not that the Japanese army didn't think about counterattack, they also wanted to use the tactics that had been successful last night and use suicidal means to collide with Datang's warships.
Unfortunately, this has no effect at all.
Often when a Japanese warship rushed out, it would be immediately destroyed by all the warships of the Tang Dynasty, and it would sink almost instantly.
The gunboats poured shells at the opponent with all their strength, and the entire sea Just like boiling water.
The Japanese navy ships in the center of the storm were like poor boats in the storm.
The Dwarf navy officers on the boat looked at everything in front of them with pale faces, feeling as if they had fallen into the Yellow Spring River leading to the underworld.
And saw this scene.
The navy commander on the Japanese side could not sit still.
He called a deputy general and asked: "Where did the damn Soga Ishikawa go? Why haven't you withdrawn?"
Their mission is to pick up Soga Ishikawa and his party, and then find a way to escape from the northern front.
Soga Ishikawa also agreed very well, saying that if he eats the Tang Dynasty warrior who is chasing him, he will come back to join him.
But it's been so long now.
Soga Ishikawa has not returned yet, and he has taken away most of the troops.
But now, the Japanese navy is faced with having no available troops and must always be in a passive position of being beaten.
You know, his current three hundred ships are already the last water force of their Japanese army.
If all these ships were to sink, the Japanese army would be faced with a situation where they would have no available naval forces.
A deputy general next to him said directly: "General Masi, if it doesn't work, let's withdraw. At the very least, we must retain our strength."
Hearing this, a person next to him also said: "Yes, General."
"There is a saying in the Central Plains that if you keep the green mountains, you will not have to worry about having no firewood."
"It's better for our army to retreat first. When General Su Wo comes back and Datang's navy has withdrawn, we can come back to pick them up."
"If we continue to wait here and use fire ship tactics to push the enemy back, I am afraid our army will no longer have a ship that can pick up our brothers."
Hear this voice of advice.
The general surnamed Mashi gritted his teeth and said: "Send an order to all ministries to withdraw from the battle immediately and withdraw across the entire front to the north!"
