The spring breeze is thin, and in my dream the horse is as powerful as yesterday. The moon is bright and the flute is played, and the trumpet is blown in the cold dawn.
Success or failure has been difficult to describe in ancient times, but now I regret that I was wrong at the time. I was wrong at the time, but the iron coat is still there, and I can't bear to stress it.
——"Recalling Qin'e·Chunbo" Liu Kezhuang (Song Dynasty)
…
After the basalt turtle and snake fell into the deep sea, the spectacle of ice and snow ceased to exist.
The frozen sea surface began to slowly thaw. The snow-capped glacial lake gradually melted and turned back into a magnificent sea.
A red sun rises, the rays of light are endless and magnificent.
Walls of transparent blue ice, and steep and towering icebergs, began to melt, just like the Yellow River water in the spring, and the sea was full of ice floes and ice rows.
The ferocious shark opened its bloody mouth, twisted its body, and with the power of its dorsal fin, jumped out of the melting ice wall and jumped into the sea.
The shark that escaped from the dead looked back at its companions who were still frozen in the ice wall. Fear struck, and it no longer showed its arrogance. Like a well-behaved koi, it swung its tail fin and plunged into the deep sea.
The ice-withered ships of Datang and Dashi also melted bit by bit, and the entire fleet seemed to be washed by water, dripping wet and decaying.
The frozen sailors gradually regained their consciousness, stood up slowly, sat around, rubbed their hands and feet, sipped soju, lit the fire, and baked their bodies and armor.
Hu Luchong, Hou Moqiu and other generals gathered on an intact "Wuya" battleship to discuss their next move.
Alberts said to Sun Dashan: "Before I lost consciousness, I watched General Bai walking toward the Xuanwu Turtle Snake with his knife. I have no idea what happened after that. I don't know where the general is now? Is he safe?"
Although Sun Dashan was wrapped in a thick fur coat, he still shivered from time to time. He held the side of the boat and looked at the sea. The sea was majestic and full of scenery.
Sun Dashan turned his head and said to the generals on the deck: "Let's prepare some sacrifices to worship the God of the Sea and pray for General Bai. Pray to God to bless Brother Bai for his safe return!"
While everyone was busy making preparations, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sea. Under the clear blue sea, a huge black shadow appeared faintly, as if a giant whale was rising rapidly.
Alberts was frightened to death by the strange beast. He couldn't help but be horrified. He firmly grasped the ship's side cable and shouted: "The whole ship is on alert!"
Before he finished speaking, a huge iron-clad warship, like a killer whale somersaulting in the water, jumped out of the sea and appeared in the sky.
The warship seems to be an ancient thing. The mast, deck, and cabins are rusty and covered with oysters and oyster shells. The sails are broken and broken, but it can still sail without wind.
The armored warship rides the wind and waves, keeping pace with the "Five Tooth" warships of the Tang Dynasty, like a dragon king patrolling the seven seas.
The dragon's head is high on the bow of the ship, and the clouds and fog are soaring. A young general is standing with his hands behind his back without being angry...
"General!"
Thousands of warships erupted into cheers that resounded throughout the sky...
…
Bai Fu was like a big snow-white wither, with open arms, gliding in the wind, tapping the waves with his toes, circling, and landing steadily on the deck of the "Five Tooth" battleship.
The huge armored battleship suddenly disappeared and disappeared out of thin air.
If you are careful enough, you can find a fiery red knife-shaped pendant hanging on Bai Fu's neck.
The generals were extremely excited to see that their leader was safe and sound after the disaster, and they gathered around him one after another.
After some pleasantries, Bai Fu concealed the fact that the black iron sword could transform, and talked about what he saw and felt at the bottom of the sea and his escape experience.
Bai Fu smiled and said: "I didn't expect that there is no Dragon Palace under the deep sea. I thought I could see the Dragon King of the East China Sea? Haha."
The generals were mesmerized by this underwater adventure. Who would have thought that there are lakes, trenches, hot springs and countless active volcanoes under the deep sea.
Eagle Eye asked: "White Dragon, what happened to the Black Tortoise and Snake?"
Bai Fu said: "I saw it sleeping soundly, and I wanted to take the opportunity to kill it. But then I thought, I was not sure enough. I didn't have the strength to do it rashly. If I woke it up again, it would be really bad.
So, I quietly climbed onto the sunken ship in the deep sea and floated to the surface on this boat."
Alberts wondered: "This is the first time I have seen this kind of armored warship in my life. I wonder how an iron ship can float on the sea?"
Bai Fu thought in his heart: "If you tell everyone that the Black Iron Sword can transform what you want in your mind, it would be really shocking.
To put it bluntly, I can’t explain it clearly. I can only tell you some of the scenes at the time and let everyone experience it for themselves.”
Thinking of this, Bai Fu said: "To be honest, I don't know what's going on, and I still haven't figured it out yet.
When the warship appeared in front of me, I was stunned. However, I had a feeling that it could take me out of danger and escape.
The situation at that time did not allow me to think too much. As soon as I boarded the warship, the ship immediately set sail and took me to the surface."
Sun Dashan is the founder of the fighting world. He has seen a lot of unbelievable and weird things. He said to everyone: "Everyone, have you all seen the inscriptions on the bow of the armored battleship? Judging from the shape of the battleship,
, this ship should be the warship when the Qin Dynasty unified the world.
This ship sank in the Fusang Sea, which is very strange. If my prediction is correct, it was probably Xu Fu's warship that went to Penglai Fairy Mountain to search for the elixir of immortality on the orders of the First Emperor.
To put it this way, it has sunk at the bottom of the sea for nearly a thousand years.
A thousand-year-old warship must be protected by gods!
Maybe the Poseidon saw that our general was so brave and outstanding that he couldn't bear for such a hero to sink to the bottom of the sea, so he felt compassion and mobilized warships to escort the general."
Sun Dashan interfered with the gang and made the generals burst into laughter.
Although this theory of ghosts and gods is far-fetched, everyone really can't think of any other reason and can only listen to it.
After Bai Fu talked about his adventure, he asked about the situation of the Battle of Tsushima.
Alberts said in frustration: "Due to the appearance of the Kraken and the Black Tortoise, we were unable to completely annihilate the Fuso Navy. Nearly 40% of the Fuso Navy took the opportunity to escape."
Bai Fu asked: "What is our battle damage situation?"
Hu Luchong and Chief Hou Mo bowed and replied: "Reporting to the general, about 30% of the warships of Datang and Dashi were damaged in total. Fortunately, the casualties were not large, and less than 10% of the sailors died in the naval battle.
middle."
Sun Dashan said: "Although nearly 40% of the Fuso warships escaped, the goods they looted from Silla were all on the cargo ships, and almost all of them fell into our hands. From this point of view, this battle can be considered a complete victory.
"
Bai Fu frowned. The battle losses of the Tang coalition forces were much greater than previously estimated. However, who could have expected before the war that Fuso Navy would have such monster-killing weapons as Kraken and Black Tortoise and Snake?
Woolen cloth.
Bai Fu thought: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
It can be seen from this that intelligence work is too important. Fusang sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty all over the Central Plains, and they knew the Tang Dynasty thoroughly. However, we despised the Japanese pirates, thinking that they were island barbarians who lived in a corner and were not to be feared.
We don't know much about Fuso at all, and if we fight, we will suffer big losses.
From today on, I must let the Tang Sect spies wait for an opportunity to lurk into Fusang and find out their details and intentions."
Eagle Eye asked: "White Dragon, what should we do next?"
Bai Fu was silent and silent, then he got up and walked, pacing on the deck and thinking. Seeing that Bai Fu was silent and deep in thought, the generals did not dare to disturb him.
After a long while, after thinking carefully, Bai Fu returned to his seat and said to everyone: "The Xuanwu Tortoise and Snake are still there. We are not sure of victory in the battle against Fusang. It is better to withdraw our troops and wait for the opportunity."
The elite navy of the Tang Dynasty immediately returned to Hangzhou Bay and was put under the command of Lord Changsun to garrison in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Although according to my judgment, after the Battle of Tsushima, the Fuso Navy was unable to sail eastwards. However, it is necessary to be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship. Fuso is ambitious and protected by monsters such as basalt turtles and snakes.
Brother Sun, you lead the damaged warship to Quanzhou and repair the warship in the shipyard. At the same time, based on the experience of this battle, build new ships and develop new naval warfare weapons, especially weapons that can capture and destroy monsters.
General Alberts, you will lead the navy army back to Guangzhou and serve as the commander of the naval academy to train captains and sailors for ocean voyages for the Tang Dynasty.
The rest of the Anxi generals went north with me, crossed the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, landed in the Wuqing (today's Tianjin) area, entered Jizhou, and joined forces with the Anxi Beiting cavalry stationed in Yuyang.
The three coalition forces of Bohai County, Silla, and Fusang have been pacified, now is the best time to encircle Youzhou and march on Fanyang!"
