Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chu Mo didn't know about his arrival, which made the situation between all parties extremely tense.

At this time, he was still wandering around Pyongyang City, but suddenly received an emergency report from the warriors Yun and Zhang Shun.

When he learned that the two men's fleet was being chased by a group of small stern boats and was about to escape to the Datong River port, he was really angry and funny.

Immediately, he asked Chu Ruowan to take him to the dock to meet him.

When the group first arrived at the Datong River port, they saw a huge fleet with skulls hanging on the sea approaching from a distance.

At the front of the fleet was the iron-clad battleship that Chu Mo was proud of.

The large number of burnt marks on the battleship proved that the battleship had gone through a brutal battle.

Behind the armored warships are various wooden warships. Among these warships, a large number of ships have signs of burnt and damage on their hulls.

There are various signs that they must have escaped here after a fierce battle and hardships.

But when Chu Mo saw that behind the battleship were only about a dozen stern boats that were worse than fishing boats, he was stunned.

And for the first time, he saw the difficulty of this legendary stern boat.

They saw ten stern boats rushing towards them desperately at a speed twice that of ordinary warships.

In the process of galloping, these stern boats not only flexibly avoided the gunfire from the battleships, but when they were about to rush in front of the battleships, they directly set the entire ship on fire, and then rushed straight into the fleet. , with no intention of backing down.

Boom~~~

The sound of the explosion pulled Chu Mo back from the shock.

Chu Mo was furious as he watched one of his own battleships sink into the bottom of the sea together with the opponent's stern boat.

Immediately, he ordered the dispatch of warships to intercept the stern ships.

However, as soon as the order was given, the warrior Yu over there ordered the flag bearer to send a signal to warn him not to act rashly.

Afterwards, with nine huge explosions and the sinking of two battleships, the river temporarily returned to calm.

But as the warrior fleet slowly approached the shore, two distinct fleets appeared on the river in the distance.

In front of the two battleships, there were hundreds of stern boats filled with flammable and explosive materials.

This scene made Chu Mo on the shore feel dumbfounded.

After thinking about it, he immediately ordered the boats on the pier to go forward to meet the enemy, while the other warships formed a line, pointed their guns at the river, and waited for the stern boats to approach.

Seeing Chu Mo's arrangement, the two fleets on the river did not act rashly. Instead, they each sent several small boats to swim near the port, apparently to spy on Chu Mo's situation.

At this time, the embarrassed warriors Xun and Zhang Shun, led by two guards, came to Chu Mo.

As soon as he saw Chu Mo, Zhang Shun immediately knelt on the ground without saying a word.

The warrior Yu looked at Chu Mo with tears streaming down his face and shouted:

"Lord, I am sorry for you. I have failed to live up to your high expectations and caused heavy losses to our army. I am guilty and I am a sinner. Please punish me, Lord."

Saying that, the warrior Yu also plopped down and knelt down in front of Chu Mo.

Looking at the two people kneeling in front of him, Chu Mo opened his mouth and wanted to reprimand them.

But when he thought about what he had just seen, how the stern boats perished together without their lives, he couldn't open his mouth.

This war is not a crime of war.

With a sigh, he helped the two of them up, then frowned and looked at Chu Ruowan aside:

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Chu Ruowan pondered for a moment and then shook her head:

"The other party comes with the idea of ​​perishing together. Unless you can sink the other party before they get close to the fleet, otherwise, you will have to fight with them until all their ships are consumed."

Seeing that Chu Ruowan had nothing to do, Chu Mo looked at Zhang Shun with deep eyes and asked:

"What is the greatest difficulty in intercepting these stern ships?"

Zhang Shun said angrily:

"These disgusting guys are as nimble as loaches. The artillery can't aim at all. If it can hit them, it only takes one shot to send them to the sky."

After hearing Zhang Shun's words, Chu Mo touched his chin and asked again:

"If I had a way to hit them, the power would be countless times smaller. Do you think it would be useful?"

Hearing what Chu Mo said, Zhang Shun immediately widened his eyes and said with scarlet eyes:

"My lord, don't say the power is too small. Even if they are grazed by the shell, they will be finished."

"Don't forget, they have everything on board. As long as there is a little spark, they will explode directly."

After getting Zhang Shun's affirmative answer, Chu Mo immediately became happy.

Immediately, he ordered Chu Ruowan to collect some ceramic shards and kerosene.

At the same time, on the sea, Su Dingfang felt his scalp numb as he looked at the densely packed warships in the port ahead, which were several times more than his own.

Are they really just a bunch of pirates?

When have you ever seen such a huge pirate fleet?Judging from the appearance of the other party, it seems that they still destroyed Silla and Baekje.

Not only that, the other party can now enter and exit freely at the Datong River port, which shows that Goguryeo has nothing to do with the other party.

From this point of view, in addition to the navy in front of them, the opponent probably also has a large number of land forces.

With the power of his own hands, can he really defeat them?

How can we fight this war when others have more warships than I have?

If he were on land, he could rely on the bravery of his soldiers and the terrain and other available means to slowly wear them to death.

But now, both sides are using artillery, and the difference in quantity cannot be made up by tactics.

Even if the warships on our side can fight one against two or three, the final defeat is still an indisputable fact.

The most important thing is that the quality of the crew and gunners on the opponent's warship seems to be more elite than that of the three-year-old Dazhou Navy, and the accuracy of shooting is even different.

What's more, there is Datang's fleet watching eagerly.

Who knows if the other party will take advantage of the fierce battle between him and these pirates to stab him in the back?

Thinking of this, Su Dingcong made plans to retreat.

On the side, the commander of the Tang Dynasty fleet, Yu Lianhua, the envoy of Jiangnan East Road, felt bad when he saw the dense warships at the Datong River port.

He now doubted whether it was a wise move for him to follow the crazy group of big Zhou people next door and come together to encircle and suppress this group of pirates?

He even felt like he had stung a hornet's nest.

I just don’t know if it’s too late to run away now.
