Chapter 1286 Isn't this the standard configuration of warships?
The commander-in-chief was in a bad mood, and all the Xianbei people on the side saw it, but no one dared to speak out. After all, Yuan Gaisuwen... Although he did not reveal his identity even when facing the Xianbei compatriots, his aura was
this.
However, the boss seems to be very motivated and even has a winning temperament, which makes all the Xianbei boys feel more at ease and have some confidence in today's big plan.
Yuengai Suwen didn't care what these juniors were thinking, he kept his eyes unblinking, observing the Tang Army's warship ahead... and the Tang Army on the warship.
After a while...
The martial arts meeting has indeed begun!
As expected, the person who came out to preside over the situation was not Chai Shao himself, but a young general named King Luo Bin. However, although King Luo Bin was young, his bearing was extremely strict, and it was obvious from a glance that he had rich experience in fighting battles.
At present, King Luo Bin is working under Chai Shao. Although he has not made any achievements in the South China Sea, but... any maritime businessman who has a good reputation basically knows that Qiao Guogong, for some reason, attaches great importance to King Luo Bin.
In this era, because the troubled times had just ended, there were many war orphans, and social relationships such as "buqu" and "adopted son" were also very common. Therefore, many people speculated that King Luo Bin was probably the poor child adopted by Chai Shao.
However, there are also knowledgeable people. King Luo Bin did not know Duke Qiao when he was young. He was just a poor scholar. He was favored by Duke Qiao for another reason... because King Luo Bin had a good friend named Ma Zhou.
It was Ma Zhou who followed Duke Qiao, not King Luo Bin.
However, more than two years ago, the promising young captain Ma Zhou suddenly responded to His Majesty's sign and led a fleet to sea. It was said that he was going to find a place called "America" thousands of miles away from the sea.
This "America"... this term was completely unfamiliar to people in China in the past, but now it has been spread for a long time... and there are even thousands of strange legends among the people.
Some say that America is a place full of giants, some say that no one is there but all monsters and monsters, some say that America is inhabited by dragons. The most common theory is that America... has gods living there, so I went to find the gods.
If you can find the elixir, you will live forever in minutes...
Such legends are everywhere, and they are no less lifelike than the space science fiction movies of later generations. However...
Anyway, someone mentioned America, so everyone else suddenly became interested. This young captain named Ma Zhou actually went to America... This is a bit explosive. After all, the reason why America can do all kinds of things
The legend is so magical, to put it bluntly, it’s because everyone has heard of it, but no one has actually been there.
And this young man named Ma Zhou went to America. Although everyone was excited and curious, they basically understood that this man could be regarded as heroic, and this King Luo Bin...
The topic quickly returned to King Luo Bin, and Hangzhou is a place where everyone from all walks of life can be found. Soon, a well-informed person opened the box at the speed of light and revealed that King Luo Bin had been in the Anxi Protectorate in Mobei for several years before.
Practice under the guidance of General Li Jing, Duke of Wei.
As soon as this was mentioned, the people present were really in awe, and they understood why King Luo Bin, who was also a young general, was qualified to host a martial arts competition. This qualification... is indeed a bit tough.
And these news happened to be heard by Yeon Gaesowun. Of course, no one whispered on this occasion...
And knowing that the young man who presided over the martial arts meeting had such excellent qualifications, Yeon Gaesumun couldn't help but be a little impressed.
That's okay, this young man...
Even in Goguryeo, such outstanding young people must be promoted themselves, so that if this captain... No, if the young general is captured by him on the battlefield, he must have to work hard to recruit him. It is indeed rare.
But... no matter how outstanding a young man is, he is not Chai Shao himself after all. To be honest, the entire Southern Dynasty is a little afraid of Yuan Gaisuwen, Li Er, his group of princes, and Li Sheng.
.
No matter how outstanding such a young man is, he is no match for him, and the soldiers and captains under his command are even less likely to be heavenly soldiers and generals.
Therefore...
At this moment, Yeon Gaesumun's muscles and nerves gradually tightened again.
There is no doubt that this is the most critical moment. As long as he can successfully deal with this young man from the Tang Army and defeat the Tang Army that he has controlled this time, the great cause of Goguryeo's restoration can begin, and given time, he may not have the opportunity to recruit this young man.
people.
As his thoughts spread, he thought further and further, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became. Gradually, Yeon Gaesumun seemed to be able to see in the dark, rebuilding Goguryeo on the South China Sea, dominating the sea and sweeping away the heroes.
But at this time, the Xianbei boy on the side seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Gang leader, this Tang Army... The Tang Forbidden Army's ship, why doesn't it have a racket or a collision horn?"
…
Yeon Gaesumun was thinking about the future of Goguryeo and the question of which direction to fight out to seize the ship.
But at this moment when he was asked by the younger brother on the side, he suddenly...
Yeon Gae Suwen was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little strange:
Yes...why doesn't this Tang Jun's ship have a shooting pole and a collision angle??
Isn't this standard equipment for warships?
Although Goguryeo was a herdsman country and its founding relied on horseback riding and archery rather than sailing, but...
Even though they were all countries established by the Xianbei people, because the area north of Hedong Road borders countries such as Silla and Baekje, in other words, there are a large number of Sushen people in Goguryeo.
They may have taken the surname of the Xianbei people or followed the tribes of the Xianbei people, but the Sushen people are still different from other nomads. They are not a complete riding and shooting people, but they also retain considerable fishing and hunting habits.
with...
These Xianbei people in Goguryeo also know something about ships - it can be said that it was thanks to those solemn people among the Xianbei people that Yuan Gaisuwen was able to gather a sea fleet of dozens of large ships to harass and plunder the Tang Dynasty merchant ships.
Be careful.
There may still be many ordinary Xianbei people who have never seen a large sea-going ship, and even their impression of the word "ship" itself is still at the stage where a piece of wood is hollowed out in the middle.
However, the elite soldiers around Yeon Gaesomun, as well as Yeon Gaesomun himself, had to deal with the domestic Sushen problem all year round, so they knew the sea ships very well.
But the collision angle and the racket stick are two things that must be present.
Especially...for big ships.
Because of the large size of the ship, the impact angle and racket pole that can be loaded are naturally larger.
