Bug fix in the previous chapter, about the paragraph about Li Yuanba's explosion, the swordsman has a wrong memory.
After the update of the previous chapter, some readers pointed out that Li Yuanba had caused a blow in the previous paragraph, and the temporary addition of Li Yuanba's hatred was inconsistent.
The swordsman has made changes as soon as possible, deleting this description of Li Yuanba's hatred points.
However, there are still some readers who have already read the past, and QQ Bookstore and Mobile Bookstore have both gone through the manuscript once, even if the author has made changes in the background, but other channels will not synchronize the modifications, so readers who use other clients to read books cannot see the revised version.
Therefore, the swordsman here specially reminds all brothers that it is enough to automatically ignore this description of Li Yuanba's "pseudo-hatred", which will not affect the normal plot.
Dividers Meng Heng waved the flag, and ten thunderbolts were thrown at the same time.
Only a "crackling" sound was heard in the dock, and these clay pots filled with pine oil, sulfur, fire nitrate and other flammable materials were thrown out by the thunderbolt and smashed onto the top cover of the turtle boat, and then split apart, spilling the pine oil, sulfur, fire nitrate and other flammable materials all over the ship.
"Drop the rocket" Seeing that the plan was successful, the clay pot accurately hit the Tang Army's turtle boat, and threw flammable materials up and down the hull, Meng Heng couldn't help but be overjoyed.
While instructing the crossbowmen to release rockets, he instructed the soldiers to continue to look for clay pots and porcelain altars, fill them with flammable materials, and then throw them out by the thunderbolts "Whoosh" With Meng Heng's order, the Han army's crossbowmen fired thousands of arrows, and in an instant, thousands of arrows with flames were poured onto the Tang army's turtle boat.
With the help of sulfur, pine oil and other flammable materials, the rocket soon ignited a fire, which caused some of the Tang army's turtle boats to burn, and the fire became more and more vigorous, and the scorching Tang army could not support it, and jumped into the river to avoid the fire.
But losing the protection of the turtle shell on his head, facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, the result can only be shot into a hedgehog by random arrows.
"Quickly retreat, exit the dock, and withdraw beyond the range of the Han army's bows and arrows" Meng Heng's defense gave Li Shimin a headache, and he ordered a retreat in a loud voice.
After a rough count, there were at least five turtle boats that were destroyed by the fire, and under the scorching fire, the Tang army, which could not hold back, jumped into the water one after another, and at least more than 1,000 people died under the chaotic arrows.
After receiving Li Shimin's order, the Tang army's turtle boats turned around and headed towards the center of the river, withdrawing from the range of the Han army's bows and arrows, temporarily avoiding the doom of being ignited by rockets.
"The pursuit continued to release rockets at the enemy warships, the thunderbolt moved forward, and continued to throw clay pots at the Tang army" As an excellent defensive general, Meng Hui was well versed in the principle of "the enemy advances and I retreat", knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and saw that the Tang army's turtle ships could not support it, so he loudly ordered the front to move forward, and pursued the Tang army's fleet reluctantly.
In close cooperation between the crossbowmen and the thunderbolts, at least three more Tang turtle ships caught fire.
It was Yi Sunsin who was in a hurry and loudly ordered his soldiers to abandon their ships and board the Han ships to flee for their lives, so that many people avoided the doom of being shot into hedgehogs.
In the face of Meng Hui's formidable defenses, the Tang army lost nine turtle ships and lost nearly 2,000 casualties.
When he was only a dozen zhang away from the river bank, he was repulsed again, and returned to the gate of the water division Dazhai to assemble, waiting for Li Shimin to make a decision.
Li Shimin stood under the handsome banner and frowned: "I didn't expect the Han army's defense to be so tight, but we underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Han army, which was many times stronger than the Goguryeo, Silla, Buyeo and other countries we conquered."
In Li Shimin's deduction, with Li Yuanba opening the way in front, he could completely destroy the Jinling Naval Division without blood and quickly go ashore.
Then before dawn, Li Yuanba smashed open the city gate, entered the palace in one go, captured the Han Emperor and his concubines alive, and finally sailed east.
The next step is to take the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty as a hostage and put forward various conditions to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but how can it be so difficult to land now In addition to storming the Jinling Naval Division, the Tang Army originally had another plan to execute.
That is, before revealing his whereabouts, find a remote place to land on the shore and directly attack Jinling City.
But in this case, the turtle boats left in the water are easy to be attacked by the Han warships, and if they are destroyed, they will be cut off from retreating; Therefore, Li Shimin finally chose a more secure raid on the naval camp, first cut off the hidden dangers, ensure that the retreat was foolproof, and then attack the city.
It's just that Meng Hui's defense is strong, but it is greatly beyond Li Shimin's expectations, although he defeated the Jinling Navy Division in one fell swoop, but his side lost one-third of the ships, which is at least ten times larger than the loss he planned.
"Set fire to the Han army dock and burn it down, lest the Han army sailors re-board the ship and come to intercept our back road" Although the landing was frustrated, Li Shimin would definitely not return in vain after a long journey of thousands of miles and an expedition across the sea.
Bending down, he smeared the pine oil and sulfur on the deck on the crossbow arrows, then ignited the fire and shot at the Han warship in the dock.
The 7,000 officers and men of the Tang Army followed Li Shimin's example and fired a wave of rockets at the Han army's fleet, which immediately caused the dock to burst into flames, and more than 100 warships of different sizes suddenly burst into flames and reflected the sky.
The raging fire burned more and more, and it was not long before the Jinling Navy Division Dazhai was burned and completely destroyed.
Ten tortoiseshell boats were burned by Meng Heng, and he also turned Jinling Sailor Dazhai into ashes, at least he didn't have to worry about the retreat being cut off, which finally made Li Shimin breathe out of his heart.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the reason why it is difficult for our army to land is entirely because of the blocking of the Han army's catapults, please let the last general take the second prince to find a secluded place to land, send the second prince to rush ashore, and destroy the Han army's catapults" Li Sunsin asked Li Shimin for his life on the adjacent turtle boat.
Li Shimin had complete confidence in Li Sunsin's ability to fight in water, and did not hesitate to instruct Li Yuanba: "Yuanba, you quickly board General Sunsin's warship, let him carry you ashore, and after rushing up, first destroy all the Han army's catapults, and our army can easily land on the shore." ” "Oh" Li Yuanba honestly agreed, lifted a pair of drum urns and golden hammers, stepped out of a pair of long legs, jumped into a leap, and jumped onto Yi Sunsin's warship.
"The villain also went to charge with the second prince" Liang Shitai shouted, also carrying an eight-sided iron hammer, and jumped on Li Sunsin's ship with Li Yuanba.
In order to reduce the weight of the turtle ship and increase the speed of the charge to the shore, Yi Sunsin drove the ship's soldiers to a captured Han fighting ship, leaving only 20 helmsmen and a dozen elite soldiers with excellent archery skills.
Then he personally steered, carrying Li Yuanba and Liang Shitai, and slowly approached the bank of the Yangtze River while going down the river in an oblique line.
Li Sunsin's intentions were so obvious that Meng Heng could naturally see it at a glance, waved his flag, and ordered two thunderbolts and more than 1,000 crossbowmen: "Keep an eye on that turtle ship for me, as long as it is within range, shoot me wildly and smash it, and never let it land."
After receiving Meng Heng's order, a lieutenant waved his hand and led more than 1,000 crossbowmen, with two thunderbolts, along the bank of the Yangtze River to keep an eye on the warship driven by Li Sunsin.
Seeing that the enemy ship fell into range, he immediately fired his crossbows and crossbows, and threw clay pots full of fuel with a thunderbolt, hoping to set the turtle ship on fire as he had done earlier.
Yi Sunsin was skilled in water, and his skills in controlling boats were even more proficient, maneuvering turtle boats like motorboat drivers; Flashing and moving, advancing and retreating freely, slowly approaching the river bank in an oblique way.
The Han army's thunderbolt threw more than a dozen clay pots filled with flammable materials in a row, but they were all quickly dodged by Yi Sunsin.
The carapace of a turtle boat is hard, and as long as there is no flammable materials such as pine oil and sulfur to fuel it, the weak flame of the rocket alone cannot ignite the turtle boat.
Seeing that this turtle ship was advancing and retreating freely, Meng Hui was also surprised, he didn't expect that someone in the Tang army would control the ship so skillfully.
Three more thunderbolts were hurriedly dispatched to intercept it, trying not to let the beast on board come ashore.
It's just that the thunderbolt cart walked extremely slowly, and Li Sunsin seized the opportunity to bring the turtle boat close to the shore, and ordered more than a dozen elite crossbowmen behind him to fire arrows in unison, suppressing the crossbow arrows of the Han army, and trying to create conditions for Li Yuanba's landing.

"Death to those who stand in my way" Seeing that it was only about seven or eight zhang away from the shore, Li Yuanba roared angrily and threw a drum urn golden hammer in his hand, only to hear a loud "boom", and knocked down seven or eight people on the spot.
Frightened, the Han crossbowmen dodged one after another.
"I'll Hammer It Too" Seeing Li Yuanba stubbornly threw a 180-pound sledgehammer out of seven or eight zhang, Liang Shitai was envious and admired, and immediately sank into the dantian, and threw the eighty-pound sledgehammer in his hand with all his strength to learn from Li Yuanba.
It's just that Liang Shitai's strength can not be compared with Li Yuanba, only listening to the sound of "poof", this sledgehammer fell into the river after flying five or six zhang, and quickly sank to the bottom of the river, and was no longer visible.
"Uh" Liang Shitai couldn't help but be stunned and ashamed.
Li Yuanba was amused and laughed: "Wow, you idiot, don't you know that there is only one Li Yuanba in the world?"
The Han army was in a hurry, and the captain ordered more than a dozen soldiers to drag Li Yuanba's sledgehammer to turn around and run, as long as he lost a hammer, the power of this monster would be greatly reduced.
At this moment, the turtle boat was only about three zhang away from the river bank, and seeing that his sledgehammer was about to be snatched away by the Han soldiers, Li Yuanba was anxious and angry, and yelled: "Don't snatch my hammer" In a hurry, he lifted Liang Shitai and roared: "Give the second master me ashore to kill the Han army, don't let them snatch my hammer" Fortunately, Liang Shitai reacted quickly enough, drew an arc in the air, raised the eight-sided iron hammer in his hand and smashed it into the crowd: "Tang Dynasty warrior Liang Shitai is also here" Liang Shitai smashed into the crowd of Han soldiers with hammers, and four or five people died on board.
Liang Shitai stood firm, and an eighty-pound sledgehammer wielded a tiger and tiger to snatch back Li Yuanba's drum urn golden hammer.
It's just that what you made him depressed was that his other hammer fell into the river, but he couldn't find it.
"Li Yuanba will also stop me from dying" When he was only one zhang away from the riverbank, Li Yuanba roared angrily, opened his long legs, and jumped onto the riverbank.
A drum urn in his hand shook open, and immediately knocked down a large piece.
Those who were hit by the sledgehammer were all bloody and blurred, and the Han soldiers were frightened to retreat. t1706231537:
