Chapter 561

Whether it is from the Tang Dynasty to Japan, or from Japan to the Tang Dynasty, there are only two routes to sail.

One is the so-called North Road, which starts from nambo City, which is now Osaka, and then passes through the Seto Inland Sea between Japan's Honshu and the four countries, and then sets out from Boduo City, which is Fukuoka of Japan, along the coastline of the Korean Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula, disembarks at Dengzhou, and then goes overland to Luoyang or Chang'an.

The second southbound road is from Kyushu to the south, along the seed island and Wujiu island in the south, to the northwest, across the East China Sea, to the Yangtze River Estuary, or to the Qiantang River, and then continue along the Tang canal north to Luoyang and Chang'an.

Because the second route needs to sail on the boundless sea which cannot reach the shore in time and is helpless, few people will choose this route.

Only when the relations with Silla, Baiji and Koguryo were tense, did the Japanese choose this route. Because of the navigation technology of this period, it was impossible for all the ships to be safe and sound. Therefore, every time the Japanese arrived at the Tang Dynasty from this route, it was a loss of strength.

But it is also because they are forced to choose, so that after a long time of exploration, this route is even more familiar than Datang.

This is why one of the four ships sunk by Li Hong was sunk on the boundless East China Sea.

In addition to these two routes, there is another route. The time required is greatly reduced, even to within 10 days. Even if all navigation conditions are complete, it can be reached in three days.

This is why his royal highness Li Hong, after paying a huge ship, has discovered the real sea route of China Southern Airlines 100 years earlier than in history.

The three ships were named by Li Hong. Today, Zhuque, Li Chunfeng and Xuanwu under the command of Cui Zhibian, as well as the Fu Zhuhao he was in, were boundless on the vast sea. After six days of sailing, everyone's sense of freshness had disappeared.

On the calm sea, Li Chunfeng, Cui Zhibian and Zhang Yi Ran to Li Hong's ship in a small boat on the calm sea. They were puzzled by the order to stop the ship when they could follow the coastline as far away as the skyline.

After several times of making the flag, the fuzhuhao was not slow to signal that the three of them would get on the boat. However, they had to put down the boat and boarded the boat with the efforts of a dozen soldiers.

"What? Not satisfied? " A few days ago, someone who was a lot blacker was wearing a pair of pants that looked like Capris of the last generation, with a solid upper body full of explosive muscles.

Dark and shiny skin, coupled with the sun shining, sweat beads on the body flashing bright light, a long head of hair, naturally tied into a horsetail in the back of the head, the whole person gives a kind of arrogant arrogance!

"What do you mean, your highness? I'm afraid it won't take half a day to get to the coast of Japan before dark. Why do you stop at this time? " Cui Zhibian has a solid bottom. Although the huge ship is like a solitary leaf, shaking along with the light waves on the sea, he stands in front of Li Hong as if standing on the land.

Li Chunfeng was a little bit worse. Although some of the whole people swayed with the huge ship, he still insisted on gripping his teeth to realize his dream of returning to the sea. He said that his highness should be full of confidence in his future navigation.

Zhang Yi and Cui Zhibian are almost the same as Cui Zhibian. They are the best in the Tang Dynasty. Although they first used to exercise in the vast sea, which is connected with the sea and the sky, they have become accustomed to everything on the sea in a short time. They are like fish in the water, and their spirit is the biggest every day.

"What do you mean?" Li Hong stood at the front end of the deck with his arms full, looking at the blue sea and blue sky. He said happily, "on the land, you all know the truth that soldiers and horses are not moved, and food and grass go first. How can you forget to go to the sea? Is it hard to come true? You want to plunder on the spot No, local materials. "

Li Hong stood comfortably in the front of the deck and stretched out. He leaned over and looked at the clear sea under the boat. Some unknown fish gently hit the bottom of the boat and turned around to look at the three people.

Li Chunfeng and Cui Zhibian were stunned. Then they shook their heads with a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, whether it's the Xuanwu led by the minister, or the Zhuque under the command of Lord Li, or the grain and grass prepared before going to sea on your husband's ships, which are enough for us to support for two months."

"Yes, it takes seven days to get to the state of Japan. It's only half a month to go back and forth, and half a month to wander around in Japan. The food and forage are enough for us." Xuhe and Li Chunfeng are also attached.

"Fart, you can't convince the Japanese monarch for half a month? What should I do? Ah? Can't we go back again? Say you don't understand it, but you're hard on it Jumping down from the lowest part of the deck, Li Hong looked at the cloudless sky and said lazily.

"Well I don't know what your Highness's purpose is to stop on the sea? The weather on the sea is changing. It seems to be sunny now. At night, it may be a storm. I think it's better to get to the coast of Japan first. " Cui Zhibian looks at the fine weather, but in his heart is not down."I'm going to surprise the Japanese monarch, so when the sun goes down, we will continue to sail and try to appear quietly in Bodo early tomorrow morning." Li Hong took over the chart that could not be handed over, looked at the pale face, and waved impatiently to let him roll into the cabin to rest.

There was nothing wrong with going through the canal. They had already entered the rough sea. They were in a state of lawlessness. First, they stood on the deck and held one side of the ship's side. The other one was in a daze. They got soldiers to carry them into the ship's cabin. They turned upside down and almost passed out.

It's been six or seven days. Although I've gotten used to it a little bit, I still feel heavy headed and light footed. I feel like I'm drunk every day, and my head is dizzy.

Li Hong winked at the three men, but did not say that the Dragon Boat built by Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty was 20 days ahead of them. He started from the North Road, followed Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula, then crossed the Korean Strait and arrived at Boduo.

It is not enough for two giant ships to besiege the west coast of Japan. Therefore, at least three of them have to be sent up. Of course, it is impossible for him to command the operation of a huge ship. If he dares to lead the operation of a huge ship, he is afraid that a series of edicts will be able to fly on the ship.

So after two hours of wandering on the calm and peaceful afternoon sea, with Li Hong's command again, the three ships slowly raised their huge sails and began to sail toward the Japanese coastline.

As night fell, the coastline was far away. Because of the perilous nature of this route, they were close to the sea, but they did not see even a fishing boat.

However, as they arrived at the southernmost coastline of Japan, the light of fire began to appear in sight, but even so, they did not stop. Instead, they followed the cover of the night, making the giant ship and the sea merge with the night. They began to slowly go north and strive to reach the offshore area of Seto Inland Sea in two or three hours.

But all things can not be as the prince's Royal Highness's intention. On the way, the wind and water did not encounter bad weather on the sea. Even at night, the sea was still calm as before. This kind of luck could go on.

At the beginning, when the Japanese drowned in order to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the wronged souls in the sea would not agree, so as the three ships continued to march northward, a little flickering fire began to appear in the distance.

With the fire flickering closer and closer, as the fire in the line of sight becomes bigger and bigger, Zhuque, Xuanwu two giant ships, began to sound short, harsh whistle warning sound.

Fu Zhu followed the Zhuque and Xuanwu. After looking at the stern of the two ships and making a sign to them, Fu Zhu began to sail slowly out. In a short time, it was convenient for Zhuque and Xuanwu to line up.

The sails of the three ships, like folding fans in their hands, slowly and freely descend. With the reduction of the sails, the speed of the ships also slowly slowed down.

Cui Zhibian put down the telescope and looked at the Fu Zhuhao on the left and the rosefinch on the right. Then he put out a flag with fire light to Li Hong: "it's like two warships of the Japanese kingdom. Please make your Highness's decision."

There was no light on the sea, even a huge beast floating on the sea.

With the report from Cui Zhibian, the red fire lights up slowly on the Fu Zhuhao, saying: "sink as soon as possible. Remember not to use thunder!"

Li Hong watched the Zhuque suddenly speed up, and gradually left behind two huge ships, one left and one right. From time to time, on the silent sea, the sound of waves pounding and the rushing footsteps on the Suzuki could be heard.

Cui Zhibian put down his telescope again, estimated that the two Japanese warships in front of him had entered the range, and then whispered to his back: "Heavy Crossbow ready to shoot!"

Then, there were bursts of winch sound, which made people feel numb and shivering from the bottom of the deck. After a while, the heavy crossbow, like a spear, flickered in the moonlight.

They are as long as rafters. The arrows are sharp and sharp without distinction. They are not arrows that mainly stab enemy ships, but blunt arrows relying on absolute force to crack hull structures.

As long as you are hit by this heavy crossbow, even if you can't break through the deck, you will hit the hull like a siege hammer, making it crack.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

There was a hurricane on the sea, and the porthole in the front of the rosefinch had been opened long ago, and the dark shadows rushed out like torpedoes as fast as lightning.

Then I heard a huge bang bang not far away, just like the feeling of a ship hitting a reef in a fast sailing, which shocked the whole ship.

While waiting for the Japanese ships to react in the evening, it was a ship far away from them. When they were attacked, the wind suddenly sounded on their heads.

This time, the sound of bang bang bang suddenly sounded from the deck, followed by a scream and the sound of scattered heavy objects falling into the water.

"Kill!" Cui Zhibian ordered again, and the rosefinch immediately put on full sail and rushed through at a speed never imagined by the enemy ship.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
