Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Immediately, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes, and he probably understood who the other person was.

The Yuan family is definitely the largest family in power in today's Goguryeo. The King Rongliu of Goguryeo, who was conferred by the Tang Dynasty, was even faintly suppressed by the Yuan family.

The current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Gai Suwen, is equivalent to the prime minister of Goguryeo, and has more power than the prime minister, holding the military and political power of Goguryeo!

On the opposite side hung a big flag with the word 'Yuan', obviously an important figure of the Yuan family was personally commanding the ship.

And Yuan Gai Suwen must be in the capital of Goguryeo, so the person who is in command of this fleet must be Yuan Gai Suwen's younger brother Yuan Pure Land.

"Looks like we can catch a big fish today〃‖!"

After trying to understand the information, Li Ke couldn't help smiling, looking forward to it.

Li Shimin and others also saw the flag through the telescope, and also analyzed a lot of information.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, Goguryeo could see the Tang Army's navy fleet even without a telescope.

"What are those four ships? They are so huge?"

Yuan Jingtu couldn't help being shocked when he saw the four particularly conspicuous giant ships in the Tang Army fleet.

"The news we received did mention that there are four giant ships, but they didn't say that they were so huge?"

The commander of the water army next to Yuan Pure Land was also shocked by the four giant ships that Tang Jun had never seen before.

"Although our boat is small, we have a large number. When fighting on board with the Tang army, the ants will kill the elephant!"

Yuan Pure Land quickly adjusted his mood and mentality, and gave instructions to the general of the navy.

"Yes, my lord!"

The navy general nodded, and he thought so too.

Yuan Jingtu continued to look at the Tang Army fleet in the distance, with a hint of fear inevitably flashing in his eyes.

Although their fleet has a large number of ships, it was prepared in advance because they received news from high-level figures in Datang in advance.

It can be said that all the water surface forces of the entire Goguryeo were mobilized. If this battle is lost, Goguryeo will lose all the water surface forces, and it will no longer be able to prevent the Tang army from attacking Goguryeo from the water surface.

But even if it is prepared in advance, after all, Goguryeo's national power is far inferior to that of Datang, and it can only guarantee the quantity, but its quality is far inferior to that of Datang's navy.

For example, the other party has four huge ships that have never been seen before, and nearly [-] large ships, which are absolutely impossible in Goguryeo.

Moreover, with such a mighty fleet on the other side, if they hadn't received the news in advance, giving them enough time to prepare, I am afraid that Tang Jun would really break through this time.

"The blame can only be blamed on your own internal ghosts, this time we will not show mercy!"

This time, Yuan Pure Land received an order from his elder brother Yuan Gai Suwen to defeat the Tang fleet, otherwise the situation would be very difficult if they were attacked from both sides.

Moreover, although he was a little apprehensive about the Tang fleet, he was actually quite confident.

After all, the preparations are very sufficient this time, and there is a plan specifically for Tang Jun's big ship, which will definitely surprise Tang Jun.

On Galen's boat, watching the two sides getting closer and closer, considering that the other party can almost see clearly without a telescope, Li Ke made a decision.

"Hang up the king's banner!"

Li Ke ordered Qu Wenkang.

Hanging his flag, the other party will naturally know that there is a prince in the Tang fleet.

That would naturally lead to a frenzied attack by the Goguryeo water fleet. Even if they were frightened by artillery and muskets, and suffered heavy casualties, they would not say that they had fled, but would continue to attack desperately.

In order to be able to capture him, the prince, and never force the Tang army to withdraw.

Therefore, in this way, the possibility of completely annihilating this Goguryeo water fleet can be greatly increased!

In fact, hanging Li Shimin's flag has the best effect, but it is also risky.

Everyone has potential. If Li Shimin's flag is hung out, the Goguryeo water army will be stimulated, and they will rush here like crazy.

If the potential is stimulated and the extraordinary performance causes some accidents, then he will still be a little embarrassed.

Li Shimin and a group of generals also looked at Li Ke in surprise, and then smiled.

Obviously, everyone has guessed Li Ke's thoughts, and also seen Li Ke's ambition, as well as his confidence in the combat effectiveness of the navy fleet!

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Qu Wenkang also understood what Li Ke meant, and immediately began to play semaphore.

Soon, a royal and princely flag embroidered with dragons was slowly raised on their giant ship.

After the king's flag was raised, the Goguryeo water army immediately saw and recognized the king's flag.

"My lord, the other party has a prince in charge!"

The commander of the navy immediately reported to Yuan Jingtu.

"really?"

When Yuan Pure Land heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and his whole spirit was lifted up a lot.

He hurriedly looked at the Tang Army fleet in the distance, and he saw a huge ship hoisting the prince's flag!

"Accelerate, this battle must be won!"

"Capture the Great Tang Prince alive!"

Yuan Pure Land immediately gave the order to speed up and launch an attack!

"Capture the Great Tang Prince alive!"

The Goguryeo sailors on board were also very excited and shouted slogans one after another.

Goguryeo's side suddenly accelerated, and Tang Jun's side naturally noticed it immediately.

"It seems to have stimulated them, why don't you try raising our flag up there?"

Li Shimin couldn't help smiling, and suddenly had an idea.

"Father, you are still jumping over the wall in a hurry. If you really stimulate them too much, super performance will not be good for our army."

Li Ke immediately dissuaded him.

The other generals also nodded in agreement.

"¨. That's all, I'm just talking for fun, let's prepare for the battle."

Li Shimin was just talking, not serious.

Anyway, this battle is under the full command of Li Ke, and they just watch from the sidelines.

Soon, the distance between the two sides entered the range of 1000 meters, which was already within the precise range of the artillery.

"Cross the hull and start reloading!"

Li Ke's expression became serious, and he ordered Qu Wenkang.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Qu Wenkang nodded immediately, and then asked people to start semaphore.

Soon, the three giant ships skillfully manipulated the sails, causing the hulls to turn sideways quickly, and aimed their cannons at the rapidly approaching Goguryeo fleet.

"Across the hull?"

Li Shimin and others were also a little puzzled when they saw the movements of the three giant ships.

"Father, my lords, since the cannons are on both sides of the ship, we must first seize the advantage of the 'T' shape in naval battles."

"As long as you can grab the advantage of the 'T' shape, you can give the opponent a fatal blow!"

Li Ke also briefly told Li Shimin and others about the concept and thinking of future naval warfare.

The main thing is to seize the geographical position on the horizontal line above. That horizontal line represents the horizontal hull. Whoever seizes this advantage first means that whoever can fire first.

"I see!"

Li Shimin and the others nodded suddenly when they heard the words.

No wonder Li Ke said repeatedly before that the naval battles in the future will be completely different from before, and the tactics and tactics will be different.

They couldn't understand this sentence before, but now it seems that even the combat concept is different.

The Goguryeo water army a thousand meters away saw the three huge ships suddenly crossing the hull, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"what's going on?"

Yuan Pure Land was a little surprised and puzzled. Why did the three giant ships turn around after their fleet approached? What is this trying to do?

Could it be that they were frightened by the size of their fleet and wanted to turn the bow and escape?

"It may be to escape, speed up!"

Yuan Pure Land gave an order to the commander of the navy.

"Yes, my lord!"

Although the navy commander felt that something was wrong, he really couldn't think of any reason other than running away.

So he immediately ordered that the fleet speed up and rush towards the Tang Army fleet again.

Soon, Li Ke observed that the three giant ships had already set up their formations and their directions were aligned.

And the fleet on the Goguryeo side is also accelerating towards this side again, all this means that the time has come!

"Aim, shoot!"

Li Ke directly ordered Qu Wenkang.

Soon someone started playing semaphore.

There is no need for Li Ke to say that the cannons were already aimed at after the ship turned sideways.

Now as soon as Li Ke's order came, the artillerymen immediately lit the match, and then ignited the fuse.

A few seconds later, there were bursts of bang bang bang on the three giant ships!

The originally quiet and cold muzzle also burst into flames, and the solid shells flew towards the Goguryeo fleet in the distance!

After the artillery was fired, Li Ke immediately picked up the binoculars with anticipation, and looked at the Goguryeo fleet in the distance.

He really wanted to know what kind of blow the Goguryeo fleet would suffer if this round of at least 90 shells went down.

Moreover, this is also the first actual combat of a weapon like artillery in this world!

PS: The third update! .

Chapter 286 Capture Li Ke alive and reward ten thousand gold?Kill Yuan Pure Land!

Artillery is suitable for long-distance strikes, but it is not very good when the enemy is close.

Because the huge ship is very high, and the muzzle must be raised slightly, otherwise the shells may slip out of the barrel.

If the opponent's ship is taller and bigger, the artillery can also be used at close range.

But the largest ships of the Goguryeo Water Army Fleet are about the same as the big ships of the Tang Army, and they are much smaller than the giant ships.

In this case, if you want to use artillery, you can only point the muzzle down, and then the disadvantages of the front-mounted gun will come out.

In addition, after the enemy ships approach, it will also affect the turning of the giant ship.

Therefore, after the enemy approached, the artillery was not very good.

But Li Ke had already made preparations. Artillery is not suitable for close-range combat, but muskets are very suitable!

The musketeers were already ready, and they all knelt on one knee, holding their muskets in a very standard posture, aiming at the Goguryeo water army in the distance.

This distance is still a little farther, the range can be achieved, but the accuracy is a little bit worse.

You also need to wait until the other party gets closer to a distance of one to 200 meters.

It is best to start shooting at a distance where our musket can accurately hit the opponent, but the opponent's bow and arrow cannot hit our side. This is the best time.

Li Shimin and others couldn't help looking forward to seeing these soldiers holding muskets and keeping their aim.

Although this is the first time they have seen a musket, they have never seen the appearance of a musket when it is fired, and the power of a musket.

But I have seen the power and range of the artillery just now, and now everyone is holding a miniature version of the artillery.

So everyone has already vaguely guessed in their hearts that this musket must also be a weapon for long-distance shooting.

The atmosphere on the Goguryeo fleet was heavy.

Yuan Pure Land's face was extremely gloomy, and his whole person was like a furious lion who was about to lose his mind!
