This was not the worst thing, but the most worrying thing was that they chased all the way and did not carry enough water and food on the ship at all.
They wandered aimlessly on the sea for fifteen days.
When the ocean current comes, the ship does not need to sail, because in the face of the huge waves, the ship's power is not enough in all aspects, and it can only drift with the current, drifting farther and colder.
Their ships docked at the docks, where there was plenty of food and water, and they had been seriously restocked, but the speed of these Icelandic ships was also what they expected, so all the unnecessary items they had put on were unloaded.
The weight of the ship was reduced, so that it could strive to catch up with the enemy ship.
But breaking into the fog is not what everyone expected, and breaking into the iceberg is even more impossible.
But it is impossible to be useless now, and passing the buck is not an option.
After a full month of drifting, they were still in the mist.
They ran out of food and water, and after the first night, after the second night, they still couldn't make it out of the sea.
The fog at sea sometimes fills for a long time, fifteen days or even half a month.
Gradually, the pursuit of enemy ships turned into self-suffering, and what was in front of everyone was no longer the question of chasing enemy ships, but the question of whether they could get out of here alive.
It is surrounded by tall icebergs and floating hills with glacial structures.
The fog did not bring them the same bad environment that their lack of sailing experience could bring to them.
It's that all the instruments that were used well before have failed.
Not because of anything else, it's because it's so cold here.
Manager!
We can't seem to get out!
Nonsense!
Since there are icebergs on all sides, I passed through this widest gap.
Everyone passively can't lift their hands and feet, and besides, how long can they last without food and water Whoever complains again, I will be the first to send him down to the sea to feed the fish Lin Changfa, the main ship manager, is actually a pirate, but he is full of sailing experience is very appreciated by Yan Yu, he is not worried about such an encounter, he is not worried about himself, but he is very worried about others, after all, few seafarers can have such a strong physique and strong willpower.
This quality of perseverance is the most important in sailing the seas.
In fact, asking Lin Changfa to be the commander of this fleet was quite a complaint both inside and outside the imperial court, but Yan Yu's persistence made it possible for them to sail to the European continent within half a year under the leadership of this elusive ghost navigator, and completed some sacred and glorious missions entrusted to him by the imperial court, Zhao'an all countries.
Of course, he did it, what a ruthless sea he had faced, he had died nine times, and this time, he felt nothing, wasn't he trapped in the fog at sea.
It was cold, but it was indeed the most unpredictable weather he had ever encountered at sea.
The day before yesterday, the sun was shining during the naval battle, but now someone is actually frostbitten.
Three days of sailing, where exactly we have been.
It's full of towering icebergs and glaciers, something he has never seen before in his career.
There was no food without water and food, but he used the simplest technique to turn seawater into fresh water.
Of course, his small instrument is not so easy to make the entire fleet drink fresh water.
The priority now is not to catch up with the Icelanders.
He knew that leading people out of danger was the most important thing.
But when all the rituals on board failed, he had a bold idea.
Someone's coming at Use the cannon to blast this iceberg to Lao Tzu Belch?
Yes, sir!
Boom, boom, boom With a loud bang, the giant cannon on the main ship opened a huge gap in an iceberg not far away.
But half an hour later, they realized that the gap was just a gap, and the glacier was much thicker than they had imagined.
Boom again!
Boom again!
My lord, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't help I don't believe it, pass the order, line up the formation, and all the ship's main guns will aim at the highest iceberg in front of us, and give me a bang!
As a result, the 100-meter-high iceberg collapsed under the huge crossfire of 600 ships, and a cold wind blew through it, and the dense fog gradually dissipated.
What is this place?
Look over there, my lord!
City?
Built in the sky?
Not really!

The city was built on an iceberg.
Disembarked.
Fifty thousand people were planning to climb that mountain to be exact, and then have a good meal in the castle they regarded as their life.
They found out that it was all in vain.
Although the Icelandic army was weak, the bravery and tenacity of the 50,000 hungry men, who were too physically exhausted to lift their swords and guns, were beyond the ordinary.
They think they're defending their country.
And the army of Datang thinks that they are looking for food now, so they don't want to fight you, you give me some food and drink, and we will withdraw immediately.
But when you have eaten and drunk enough, will you retreat?
Yes, definitely Kill me!
The war turned into a massacre, although six hundred battleships were not decoration, but the shells were also limited, and when the Don army and the Icelandic army merged and began to fight, the strong ships and sharp guns had long since ceased to work.
This is the difference between land warfare and naval warfare, because in such an era, in such an environment, the sea battle is fought in ice and snow, facing glacial plateaus and sharp icebergs without a trace.
Any close encounter between a ship and an iceberg can lead to very serious consequences.
Now 50,000 horses could not defeat the Icelanders, 8,000 troops of the Vikings, to be exact.
There is actually nothing to be ashamed of this, especially since the main general Lin Changfa believes that preserving our combat power is the most important thing.
All of us have been hungry for almost half a month, we have no food to eat, and we have no strength to fight, and if we want to fight these high-headed Viking men, it will be death.
Surrender!
My lord, no!
What's not to do!
The big husband can bend and stretch, and you are afraid that they will kill us.
We became captives, and we had something to eat.
Besides, with the strong backing of Datang, are you still afraid that no one will come to save us?
this Pass the order down and surrender!
In this way, the army of the Tang Dynasty was captured in a foreign land for the first time.
To say that the Vikings, although savage, still treated their captives well, at least they now have fish to eat.
In such an environment, it is almost impossible for you to fish, unless you are a professional fishing boat, because of the decrease in temperature, it is impossible for a large number of fish to come to the sea surface of dozens of degrees below zero.
But the Vikings were very smart, and their main food was bread, which was all kinds of deep-sea fish that the Tang people had never heard of.
Of course, catching these deep-sea fish requires considerable expertise and skill.
Seeing the soldiers eating with their mouths full of oil, Lin Changfa laughed.
Actually, this is considered a win, or a loss
