Huge stones flew over Li Hong's head in the wind and rain, and fell into the sea with a thud, or hit a Japanese warship.
Between the lightning and thunder, the dark night flickers on and off, nature is showing off its huge deterrent force on the sea, which is irresistible to humans.
It was as if she had entered another world, as if she had entered a hell filled with violent storms. Princess Dalai was sitting on the deck, her goggles were blurry, but she could still feel the weapons of the Tang Dynasty like locusts above her head. Ruthless and cruel, just like the storm, it flew towards their Japanese warship unstoppably.
The heavy crossbow was made of metal. From time to time, it could be seen that after being launched from five giant ships, it was struck by lightning and fell into the sea before it could get close to the Japanese warship, or when it was inserted into the Behind the hull of the Japanese warship, blue fire suddenly flashed at the tail of the crossbow, and then a plume of black smoke silently emitted from the hull, and a large hole appeared in the hull.
The matchlock crossbow has now lost its function not only on the Fuzhu. The matchlock crossbows on the other four ships have also lost their explosive power. When launched at this moment, just like other heavy crossbows, they are affected by the impact of sea water and rain. It completely misfired and lost the power of the explosion.
With a bang, Li Hong wiped the blurred watermarks on his goggles, then hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw Wutian bounced out by the loud bang of the rudder, with a rope as thick as an arm around his waist. It was actually cut off in the middle, and Wutian's hunched back hit the side of the ship with a bang.
Poof... A mouthful of blood spurted out from Wutian's mouth, but before it fell to the deck, it merged with the sea water and rain, and disappeared quickly.
Wutian, who was hunched over in pain, tightly grasped the side of the ship with one hand to prevent him from being thrown from the deck of the warship into the sea under the rough waves.
After Wutian was ejected immediately, he didn't even have time to look at Wutian. His lower body was firmly planted in front of the rudder, the muscles of his two arms protruded, and the veins gradually appeared, and he held his hands tightly. Hold the rudder and control it carefully.
Li Hong wiped the rain and sea water off his face again with lingering fear. Watching Wutian, who was like a shrimp, slowly crawling up from the deck in pain, he had to order all the remaining four sails to land.
All the power brought by nature not only caused a lot of losses to Li Hong's Fuzhu, but also the other four ships were damaged to varying degrees, but in general, it did not affect the continued operation on the sea. campaign.
The Japanese warships were not so lucky. Their ship's ability to withstand wind and waves was far inferior to that of the Tang warships. In addition, they were hit by five warships. At this moment, all the nearly 200 warships were attacked. There are only seven or eight Japanese naval warships left.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rumbling thunder was heard like the roar of wild beasts. While the crackling lightning illuminated the entire sky, it naturally also illuminated the sea. There were many dead bodies floating on the messy sea.
And as the heavy crossbows still stuck on the scattered deck were struck by lightning and stirred up huge waves, at the same time, some Japanese soldiers struggling and screaming on the sea seemed to have a black smoke coming out from their seven orifices. , and then sank straight into the sea water.
After a while, when they came up again, they were like dead fish, floating stiffly on the rough sea. There were even some corpses that were thrown onto the deck of Datang during the roaring waves, making loud bangs. A loud noise.
The sailors on the deck didn't even look at it anymore, just like kicking the fish that jumped onto the deck from the sea, and kicked them into the water again.
"Shameless! Inhumane! He is already dead, why do you have to kick in... ahem..." The princess of Dalai, who was choked by the sea water, was speechless. Her exquisite body was still holding the wooden stake tightly, with a look in her eyes. There was regret and resentment, but she was powerless and could only watch the dead Japanese soldiers being thrown into the sea again in humiliation.
The remaining seven or eight Japanese warships were now surrounded by the five warships of the Tang Dynasty. The giant ship, which was also seriously damaged, once again became a giant on the sea as the waves on the sea became smaller and smaller. dominate.
Once again, like five behemoths, they silently pressed towards the seven Japanese warships from all sides. The portholes on the bow could no longer be closed. They were still open at this time, with streaks of black light flashing, which made people shudder. The heavy crossbow slowly rose to the window under the action of the winch.
The sea breeze became smaller and smaller, and the surroundings were pitch black. Except for the sound of waves rolling on both sides of the ship, there was no sound. On the increasingly calm sea, those floating corpses and scattered decks were no longer aware of the raging waves. Where did the huge waves take them
In fact, neither the Japanese warships nor the Tang navy knew where they were in the sea at this moment.
"No, please, leave the remaining seven warships for the Japanese country, please!" Princess Dalai stood up behind Li Hong while holding on to the wooden stake. Her cheeks were washed by the rain and sea water all night. Under the swaying of a new wind lamp, it was still extremely pale.
Li Hong looked at the sad face of Princess Dalai, and his first reaction was to think of Sadako. He looked at the original eight warships of the Japanese country, and one of them was sinking involuntarily under the sea. The entire bow now had a large Part of it was submerged under the sea.
"I am helping you now, helping your Japanese soldiers escape from the sea of suffering. If I ignore them, they will die more miserably and be tortured to death by the sea. But if they lose the warship, the death process will be short. A little, naturally, the pain will be less." Li Hong shook the rope around his waist and said calmly.
When the wind and waves were about to stop, the rope ends of himself and Princess Dalai were originally tied to the wooden stakes and iron rings next to them, but at some point, their rope ends fell off, while her rope ends were still tied. Tie tightly to the iron ring.
A flash of panic flashed in Princess Dalai's tired and sad eyes. She tried her best not to focus on the rope and begged: "Please, please, let them go."
"Let them go, and they won't let me go. They will bring their hatred to the shore, and then tell their children and grandchildren, and then spread it throughout the Japanese country. Then the Japanese country will hate the Tang Dynasty with the same hatred. So, do you think I Will you let them go?" Li Hong untied Princess Dalai's rope, grabbed her soft and boneless arms, brought her to him, looked at the few sparse lights flickering in the darkness, and then lowered his head. The voice said: "Launch."
Wutian, who was not seriously injured, had already stood behind Li Hong again. After hearing Li Hong's order, the crossbow in his hand quickly disappeared into the dark sky with a resounding arrow.
The loud and harsh sound of arrows, like the horn of a general attack, made the Tang soldiers on the five giant ships even more motivated to fight. However, the Japanese soldiers on the Japanese warships trapped in the middle looked panicked, like It was as if they had a premonition of the coming of death, and some even disobeyed orders and jumped into the sea privately, trying to escape.
The seven Japanese warships facing the five Tang Dynasty giants were like a race between an adult car and a child's toy car. The result is self-evident.
Following Li Hong's order, it was only a few breaths of time until the Japanese warship reappeared in the flames after the explosion of the matchlock crossbow, and in these short few breaths, the entire Japanese naval force , all were annihilated by the Tang Dynasty on the sea. The warships escaped on May 1st, and no soldiers survived.
"Madman! Devil! Death! You are the god of death of Japan, you are an executioner! Japanese people will never forgive you." Princess Dalai struggled to break free from Li Hong's arm, but no matter how she broke free, she even felt that she His arm was almost dislocated, and the one that was grabbed was still being held indifferently.
"I never wanted to ask you to forgive me. You are so interesting to me. What I want is that everyone in your Japanese country, from your father to the common people, will be full of deep fear of me, the Tang Dynasty. Others , I really don’t care.” Li Hong’s devilish smile kept enlarging the pupils of Princess Dalai until she collapsed to the ground weakly again.
The fish-belly white morning light slowly rose from the eastern sea. The calm sea dissipated all traces of last night's violence and fighting without a trace.
The sea is still so beautiful. When the morning light rises slowly, with a trace of hope, it illuminates the entire majestic sea, like a new world, reappearing in front of people's eyes.
Princess Dalai, who was no longer able to cry, was still sitting on the deck blankly. Her originally beautiful eyes had long lost their beautiful and moving brilliance, and her whole body was filled with a silence like the breath of death.
The destruction of the Japanese navy, the victory and defeat of the Japanese navy, the victory of the Tang navy, and the strength of the Tang navy all left indelible traces in her heart last night, the majestic appearance of riding the wind and waves, and the beauty of facing the sea. In the hell environment of violent storms, lightning and thunder, they still moved forward bravely and were still able to resist tenaciously. In the end, even Poseidon was unable to sink even one of their warships.
What kind of country is this? Why are they so much stronger than the Japanese? Why are their countries so rich? Can their people stay away from the war? What is it that makes them stronger
Japanese students went to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was not stingy from the beginning, but now it no longer accepts envoys from the Tang Dynasty. Is it hiding? Is it the knowledge of these giant ships that is hidden
The morning sun gradually revealed its true appearance, and Princess Dalai faced the sun. A trace of warmth drove away the chill deep in her heart from last night.
Continuing to stare blankly at the slowly rising sun, a look of perseverance suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then began to slowly bloom on the entire face, like tuberose, In the silent night, her most beautiful and fragrant side blooms.
