The steam engine is still not good. Even with the addition of a gearbox, it cannot compare with the internal combustion engine in terms of size, power, and speed. Everything about Li Yuanxing's flying boat is still being tested. It is already a miracle that it can cruise stably at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour.
The safe full speed of the machine is only around 160 kilometers per hour based on modern speeds.
This speed is not comparable to the first generation Zeppelin airship in history.
Seeing that he arrived in Luoyang, Li Yuan looked excited: "Wu Lang, I am very happy!"
"My son wants to let go of the speed, but the speed limit safety regulations were proposed by Mingyue, jointly ordered by Tianying Pavilion, and decreed by the imperial brother. As long as my son is on this flying boat, the speed of the flying boat cannot exceed 80%. .You cannot exceed 100% during war, so my father will not be able to experience the feeling of extreme speed."
"It's enough, it's enough!" Li Yuan laughed.
The actual speed may be faster. Li Yuanxing looked at his watch. They could see the sea in less than ten hours in modern time. It took some time to land. It was only less than eleven hours, that is, five and a half hours. , before the sky had completely darkened, it had already landed in Laizhou Port.
Li Daozong, who was dressed up to welcome him, was stunned when he saw the huge flying boat. He even forgot to salute when he saw Li Yuan.
Li Yuan laughed and slapped Li Daozong on the head: "Don't lose the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and let the foreigners laugh." After that, Li Yuan looked at the foreign envoys whose legs were weak and laughed loudly. Walk towards the military camp.
Li Yuanxing was not in a hurry to leave. He was listening to various test reports.
Coal consumption, water consumption, machine operation, and the impact of crosswinds on the route, etc.
"Your Highness, we seem to have too much coal and water. The coal has been used less than 30% in total, and the water consumption has only reached 20%. Could you please move down some buckets and coal baskets and add more? Sergeant, get on board." Lu Maofeng reported beside him while holding documents.
Li Yuanxing waved his hand: "There is no harm in preparing more. There are not many places in Datang to replenish coal. In the future, if the generals use it for fighting, let them calculate the loading capacity of various materials themselves."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Lu Maofeng was still thinking about fighting.
Li Yuanxing waved his hand and called Wu Bin: "Yidao, you can't use your prosthetic hand in the battle tomorrow. The Pei brothers attack Pyongyang City with their blood. You lead my royal guards, and then Pei Chengguang and you must break into the Goguryeo Palace." This king has only one order: kill everything, burn everything, and rob everything. Whether it is wealth or women. The noble ladies in the Goguryeo royal family must take back a few alive. Let Pisces take the one hundred people and make a plan for you. Support, if you encounter a strong enemy, you can use all means, I just want you to have fewer casualties!"
A military order without any restrictions.
Yi Dao raised his head high, and then made a serious military salute: "General, I have the order!"
In Yaozhou, Wu Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief after receiving the telegram. While sending people to deliver the message to Chang'an City and the Qin Palace, he put pressure on the craftsmen because Wu Zhao knew clearly that the steam-powered airship should be able to reach a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. Above, even three hundred kilometers, so the craftsmanship of the steam engine is still not up to par.
When His Highness the King of Qin arrived in Laizhou, the news was immediately transmitted to all armies via telegraph. Yuchi Gong, who was sailing towards the Datong River by sea, also received the news and summoned the Pei family brothers, Pei Chengxian and Chengguang, in front of him: "You two will lead the Red Army. Blood, this battle with Goguryeo will humiliate our Tang Dynasty and humiliate our King of Qin. You two brothers will know the pros and cons!"
"The Lord humiliates the minister and dies!"
"Leading people into battle with one sword, all of them are the top masters of the Qin Palace. Pisces brought a hundred strong bows." When Yuchi Gong said this, he took out a box and saw that the seal on the box was still there. In front of the two
After tearing open the seal and reading the order, Yuchi Xue smiled.
This order is naturally the same as the one given to Yida.
Called madmen, these generals who have experienced life and death many times on the battlefield like such unlimited orders.
In a word, just kill, kill, kill!
Eat well, drink well, and sleep well. Yu Chigong personally asked the captain that they would arrive at the mouth of the Datong River before dawn. They only needed to watch the signal from the sky to enter the river, go directly upstream, and enter Pyongyang City.
The next day, we cooked at three o'clock in the morning and set off at four o'clock.
The envoys couldn't sleep all night. They already knew very well that this was the Tang Dynasty asserting its power. Let them see what would happen to Goguryeo who dared to show its teeth to the Tang Dynasty. Who could stop this huge flying fortress?
Who knows what attack methods the terrifying giant creature has?
The result cannot be guessed by imagination.
Night flying is a huge test for all crew members who are flying for the first time. Even with the help of the Big Dipper, there will be an error of hundreds of miles.
After an hour and a half of flight, Li Yuanxing stood expressionless at the front window.
Li Yuan was wearing full armor and was standing slightly behind Li Yuanxing. In Li Yuan's mind, only wearing armor is the real war.
Li Yuanxing, however, was wearing a very ordinary Han-style costume without any armor.
Li Yuan could feel the tension in Li Yuanxing's heart, although he didn't know what Li Yuanxing was nervous about.
Perhaps it is the pressure that Datang will face if it cannot win this battle.
So why is Li Yuanxing nervous?
Two words, direction!
Li Yuanxing was really afraid that he would fly in the wrong direction. If he flew in the wrong direction, he would really be thrown into the sky.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the bottom of the command warehouse: "Report, we have seen a sea ship signal, we have seen a signal."
"Okay, send the signal and order to sail into the Datong River. When the sun rises, as long as you stand beside Pyongyang City, you will be credited with a great contribution to those former Sui generals who surrendered!" The expression on Li Yuanxing's face changed.
With an extra sense of murderous intent, he turned back to his chair and slapped the armrest of the chair hard:
"By this king's order, the two ships Weiyuan and Zhenyuan have entered the first level of combat readiness!"
What does level one combat readiness mean?
The envoys from different countries were different, but they saw that even the guards in the guest warehouse began to tie ropes around their waists.
Several guards ran over quickly with a rope that was almost five feet long. They first gave each guest a belt. After tightening it, one end of the rope was tied around the waist, and the other end was tied to the iron ring under the seat.
.
"Please give instructions, Your Highness! Airborne or skidded?" Wu Bin bowed in front of Li Yuanxing and waited for the order.
Li Yuanxing closed his eyes and did not answer immediately. He was still thinking.
Direct airborne landing is too dangerous. If the opponent has archers for air defense, then the sergeant using the parachute will become a target. As for the slide, he is absolutely sure that the airship will actually descend within the city wall ten feet above the ground, and the person will slide down the rope.
It's absolutely safe.
Seeing that Li Yuanxing didn't respond, Yi Dao shouted loudly: "Your Highness, the last general, please airborne!"
Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, but said: "It is not yet midnight. If I attack with flames falling from the sky, half of the entire city of Pyongyang will be surrounded by a sea of fire. You will be in danger when you fall. It is safer to slide down. And I
If you are still hesitating, setting fire to the city of Pyongyang will accidentally injure too many people. I really can’t bear it!”
"Your Highness!" Wu Bin knelt on one knee in front of Li Yuanxing, and everyone behind him knelt down.
At this time, Li Yuan actually performed a military salute in front of Li Yuanxing. This made Li Yuanxing jump up in surprise: "Father, what are you doing?"
"Wu Lang, your name is my father. Do you have a father in your heart? Do you recognize this father?"
"Yes, how could you not recognize it?" Li Yuanxing was a little incoherent.
Li Yuan walked up to Wu Bin:
"They call you Yi Dao, I just ask you. When you were training in Yaozhou, did you know how powerful this flying boat is? Do you know how to show the might of the Tang Dynasty?"
"The general knows that Princess Mingyue spent three days specially for the general to attend classes, and also gave the general the opportunity to practice."
"Okay, I'll ask you again. What's your plan to spread the prestige of my army overseas?"
Wu Bin hesitated and glanced at Li Yuanxing secretly. But Li Yuan was furious: "I am asking you, I am still the Supreme Emperor. Wulang is my son, I am asking you. Answer me!"
Wu Bin gritted his teeth:
"I burned down the entire Pyongyang within an hour, and I led troops from the sky to raid the Goguryeo Palace. Even if the Goguryeo people had a hundred times the troops as I did, they could at most prevent their king from escaping. The entire Pyongyang is also under my control, and the Tang Dynasty will not
With General Yuchi leading the troops and cooperating, Pyongyang City can kill all the Goguryeo soldiers, slaughter all the Goguryeo City, capture all the Goguryeo royal family, empty all the Goguryeo royal family's warehouses, and burn all the food in Pyongyang City!"
When Li Yuanxing heard this, he closed his eyes.
What Wu Bin said was almost the most brutal method and the method with the greatest effect in this battle.
Obviously, this trick was not something Wu Zhao could come up with.
There is a great possibility that it was designed by the cabinet master and passed directly to Wu Zhao through Li Lanshan. No wonder Wu Zhao would specially train Wu Bin.
Li Yuan turned around: "Wu Lang?"
"What Wu Bin said is not wrong, but it is still a little bit worse. It should be said that whoever the Tang Dynasty wants to live can live."
"Do I want to give an order?" Li Yuan continued to press Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing smiled and shook his head gently: "Father, it seems that I am too soft-hearted. I understand, this is the Tang Dynasty, and this is the first war with foreign countries. This is the battle to establish prestige. Wu Bin
Follow orders!"
"The end will be...
Half an hour later, Pyongyang ushered in the early morning of the second day of April.
And what they saw was not the rising sun, but two huge monsters that were hundreds of feet long hovering over Pyongyang City. Those who knew how to read could see the four characters Weiyuan and Zhenyuan.
Li Yuanxing held a jade fan in his hand and waved it gently: "Weiyuan flies in an arc and attacks Pyongyang City."
The Weiyuan moved, and the envoys from various countries sitting on it all leaned down to the window. They already knew that this was Pyongyang, but they didn't know what would happen.
Li Yuanxing continued to order: "Zhenyuan, attack the military camps in Pyongyang!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
