Yang Dian suddenly reacted, jumped to the highest point of the stairs, looked up at the rear of the fleet, and saw that the most row of warships in the fleet had fallen apart, and the monster with a huge light on his head finally left his fleet. However, just as Yang Dian breathed a sigh of relief, the monster shook a big circle again, drew a huge arc on the lake surface, and re-pointed the dazzling head at his fleet.

A feeling of powerlessness and helplessness surged into Yang Dian's heart. The monster in front of him was so terrible. He lived for thirty or forty years. He had never seen such a terrible thing before. Now he saw the monster rushing over again. The extreme fear made him scream: "Everyone is ready to fight. The archers are on the arrows, the crossbowman is on the crossbowman, and the stone thrower is ready to smash it into the water. I don't believe that so many stones cannot kill him."

Just like a headless fly, the soldiers who ran around seemed to suddenly find their backbone and gradually settled down one by one. After all, they were well-trained elite soldiers. In a moment, the orders on the main ship were quickly passed on to each ship.

At this time, Wang Tao was staring at the ships under the searchlight with his blood-red eyes, preparing to charge again, but Li Ming suddenly patted his shoulder and said, "Wait a minute, don't rush forward, go around, stop to the side of the fleet, hurry!"

Although Wang Tao was almost losing his mind at this moment, he still did not dare to disobey Li Ming's words. In desperation, he had to reluctantly turn the bow of the ship and bounce towards the side of the fleet.

Seeing this monster suddenly gave up its attack on its fleet, the sailors on the ships at the end of the fleet couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Many people even cheered. After all, judging by the monster's terrifying behavior just now, if he rushed over again, none of the ships that were the first to survive. Perhaps, this monster has a very good eye, so that he saw the bows and stones prepared by his people? This made him scared? It would be better to scare it away. Many soldiers on the warship holding weapons and preparing to fight were hoping that this wish was true.

Of course, Yang Dian, who was on the main ship, did not think so. Judging from the degree of hardness of this monster, the bow and arrow may not pose any threat to him. The only thing that can be relied on is the inconspicuous stones on the ship. If he could use the stone thrower on the ship to attack it while the monster was approaching, it would probably cause fatal damage to it. Therefore, when Yang Dian saw the monster bypassing it, he felt relieved and disappointed. After all, he had lost so many warships and soldiers, and now there were probably more than 2,000 people falling into the water. If this monster was not destroyed, he would probably not be able to explain it in front of Prince Cheng.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the monster that had already run to the side of the fleet turned his head and aimed the terrifying light at the side of the fleet. Yang Dian's heart suddenly tightened again. He was about to give a command to prepare for battle, but he heard a thick voice coming from the monster. The sound was not loud or harsh, but it could penetrate the rumble of the monster to clearly reach his ears: "The people on the other side have heard it, you have seen the situation just now. You are definitely not my opponent. Put down your weapons and surrender. I will spare you all the death, but if you continue to resist, those who are struggling in the water are your role models! Give you an incense stick of time to consider it. After this time, don't blame me for being rude!"

Everyone in the fleet was stunned in an instant. Can this monster speak human words? Oh my God, if it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, who could believe it? What exactly is this? Shock and surprise filled everyone's hearts, so they didn't even understand what Li Ming said.

Yang Dian is worthy of being a famous general who has experienced many battles. He is not afraid of the danger, but is frightened but not confused. Among the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, he understands what Li Ming means. However, as a general of the Tang Dynasty, he would not surrender so easily. What's more, the other party is still a monster who doesn't know what it is. With so many people and so many warships, how could he surrender to a monster? The chaos and losses just now were just caught off guard by it, and he didn't prepare in advance. If he really wanted to fight upright, he might be able to kill him. Therefore, he had already made up his mind when Li Ming finished speaking.

"Calm down! Calm down, bastard!" He slapped the messenger beside him and shouted angrily: "Send my military order immediately and prepare the water army round formation, hurry up! Get all the crossbows ready, I want to nail him here!"

The terrified messenger woke up completely by the slap. He hurriedly shouted: "Abide by the order!" and hurriedly ran down to convey the order.

On the iron armored ship, Li Ming opened the top armor and was waiting for the reply from the officers and soldiers. Although he also heard Yang Dian's order, he wanted to give them a chance. First, he urgently needed a large number of ships to transport the army to attack the Fenshui Island, and second, he did not want to deprive so many soldiers of their lives. If they could make them surrender, it would be the best result. Moreover, he could add a group of surrendered troops, so why not do it?

However, after Li Ming waited for more than ten minutes, the officers and soldiers showed no sign of surrender. Their ship moved, but it seemed to have been formed into a formation, like a U, driving towards Li Ming's iron armored ship.

At this time, the sky was slowly turning white, and white light began to reflect on the rippling water surface, and the shadow of the ship seemed to be clearer and clearer against the pale sky. On the warships of Fensui Island, officers and soldiers looked nervous, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes and stared at the monster opposite that looked gloomy and terrifying in the water. Although the light on the monster's head was no longer so dazzling against the sky, the soldiers in the light range still leaned nervously next to the ship building, for fear that the monster would find him.

Li Ming sighed helplessly and whispered: "Close the top deck, Wang Tao, they want to deal with us. Although we are not afraid of their bows and arrows and catapults, the crossbows set up on the building ships can still cause damage to us, especially the tempered glass in front, which cannot stop the direct blow of their crossbows. Taking advantage of their ships' disadvantage of turning slowly, we can go around them and start the ship."

Wang Tao was originally going to fight hard with the other party, but since Li Ming had given this order, he had to put away his idea of ​​testing the armor strength of the iron armor ship, and obediently turned the steering wheel. As the boiler continued to add fuel, the small iron armor ship drew a big arc on the water like a flying arrow, and rushed towards the side of the fleet formation.

The officers and soldiers who were preparing to annihilate this monster in their own formation were all shocked. They never expected that this monster was so smart that they would not get into the trap they set. However, Yang Dian and a few senior generals had realized that they might not be facing a monster, but some new ship controlled by humans. However, it was too late to realize this. This formation was originally a standard defensive formation. Under normal circumstances, ships must be covered on both sides of the flanks. Once the enemy attacked the flanks of the formation, the main formation and flanks could immediately form a new defensive formation. However, due to the influence of preconceived concepts, they all thought that it was a water monster fighting. As a result, it was too late to change the formation at this time.

The ironclad ship quickly turned for half a circle and steadily aimed the bow of the ship at the side of the formation. At this time, the ships in the formation were in chaos. They all tried their best to adjust the direction of the ship in order to attack the monster at the best position.

However, there were too many ships in the defensive formation, and they had no time to do anything. They could only barely turn the bow of the ship on the side of the formation and hurry to face the iron armored ship.

Wang Tao had already turned the steam switch to the maximum at this time, and the boiler hand was also trying his best to add fuel to the furnace, and from time to time he added a spoonful of spoons into the furnace to increase combustion. The powerful steam turbine of the Iron Craft made a huge roar, and shot it at the fleet again like thick black smoke and steam arrows.

With a loud "bang", the top of the ironclad ship was hit hard by flying stones flying over. At the same time, the rain of arrows shot towards the ironclad ship. Only the dense sound of blows on the steel plate outside the ship was heard, like fried beans, and it was also mixed with the banging sound of stones hitting. Fortunately, the three layers of tempered glass used on the bow of the ship could not be hit on the side, otherwise the armor of the ironclad ship would have problems from here.

Before everyone could get used to the dense attack, the ironclad ship had already knocked down the side of the big-headed ship again with the dazzling searchlight light. There was a loud noise, as if the scene was just repeating, and the ironclad ship broke out as if it was not blocked, leaving behind a broken shipboard and officers and soldiers who fell into the water.

Soon, the iron armored ship passed through the dense array of warships again, and quickly moved away from the noisy and panic field behind him. Suddenly, a different roar came into the ears of everyone through the thick steel plate. Then, a dull sound rang on the rear ship board that was penetrated by the iron armor. With the sound, a sharp metal conical head pierced through the steel plate at the rear and penetrated it in, but it was stuck in the middle of the steel plate in the end.

Li Ming was really a little shocked. He designed the iron armored ship. Of course he understood how powerful this ship was. Although the armor on the rear ship plate was relatively thin, it was also a hot-rolled high-quality steel plate that was as thick as five millimeters. In this world, he really couldn't think of anything that could penetrate such armor, which was simply incredible to him.

Wang Tao's expression changed drastically at this time. He turned his head to look at the javelin stuck in the steel plate, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Bed crossbow! I didn't expect that they were equipped with such things. This is for siege. The thick city walls couldn't stop it. Master, for the sake of safety, let's sink them all. I'm worried that they will take the opportunity to make trouble. With our iron-clad ship, it would be impossible to capture the remaining fifty warships."

Li Ming didn't say anything, but let Wang Tao go around the ironclad ship and stop far behind the opponent's warship. He approached the crossbow arrow and competed the tip of the arrow. Because it penetrated high-quality steel plates up to five millimeters thick, the tip of the arrow no longer exists. However, Li Ming could still see the excellentness of the steel used by the arrow. In this world, it takes a skilled craftsman to create such an arrow for a day, because the smelting technology of this era is still at the level of repeated forging, and to create an arrow with suitable strength, hardness and stiffness like this, it requires at least fifty repeated forgings. It seems that the group of sailors on the Fenshui Island are indeed elite soldiers, and the court's investment is also very large, which further strengthens Li Ming's idea of ​​taking this army into his hands.

Since the opponent had weapons that could damage the iron armored ship, Wang Tao didn't know what to do when he heard it. Li Ming came to his senses from his thoughts. Seeing Wang Tao looking at him in a daze, he couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? What do you think of me? I don't know what to do when you encounter this kind of situation? Haven't you ever worked in a navy before? Okay, let me, a layman, give you an idea. According to the power of this kind of crossbow, although it can penetrate the armor on the stern of the ship, it cannot pass through it. Therefore, the armor on the bow and side of our ship are absolutely safe. This kind of crossbow arrow is not easy to make and it is expensive. They must not have too many. We just need to use iron armored ships to circle their fleets, and they will definitely not be able to resist attacking. In this way, after they use the crossbow arrows, it will be time for us to counterattack."

Wang Tao suddenly realized. He smiled embarrassedly, turned the steering wheel and began to approach the fleet from the side, and circled around the fleet. The crossbow arrow had long been cut off by Li Ming with the Yitian Sword. He didn't want the enemy to know his weakness.

Sure enough, seeing the ironclad ship surrounding him, Yang Dian ordered his full attack. After all, it was already dawn. Although the thing in front of him was strange in shape, it still looked like a ship. Since it was not a monster, the soldiers were not afraid. When they heard the order of attack, everyone shot the long-range attack weapon in their hands desperately at the ironclad ship.

Just as Li Ming expected, the powerful crossbow could not pose any threat to high-quality steel plates up to ten millimeters thick. Therefore, although the sides of the ironclad ship could be hit thousands of times in a second, they were still driving the ironclad ships around the fleet safely and in circles.

Gradually, Yang Dian felt something was wrong. At this time, the sun had jumped out of the horizon, and the other party could see clearly what the other party looked like. Now it is certain that the other party was a warship, and it was all made of steel. Although Yang Dian could not understand why the ship made of iron could still float on the water, he did not doubt his judgment. Obviously, all the weapons of his fleet could not cause any damage to the other party, and the other party could rush over to rush his fleet to pieces at any time. Since this is the case, what qualifications do he have to fight with the other party? Could it be that he just watched the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers he brought were buried in the bottomless mid-mountain lake?

A thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but make a bold decision. He waved and called the messenger beside him over.

Li Ming suddenly found that the opponent's attack had stopped, and the dense fleet was gradually dispersing. The soldiers on each warship raised their hands and held weapons. Did the enemy really decide to surrender? Even Li Ming himself couldn't believe this idea. In order to further understand what they were going to do, Li Ming ordered Wang Tao to temporarily stop the ironclad ship.

The enemy seemed to be really going to surrender. With the mooring of the ironclad ship, the fleet quickly gave up a very fast passage. In the passage, a 30% tall building ship slowly sailed from Li Mingzheng toward the ironclad ship. On the board, an officer about forty years old knelt on the top of the building ship, holding his sword in his hands, saluting them from afar.

Li Ming was really stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes. He made the other party surrender so easily. He thought he would have to spend some time with them and then destroy dozens of their warships before they would be afraid. Unexpectedly, they would surrender so quickly. Judging from the size of this warship, it should be the flagship of this fleet.

Wang Tao showed a cautious look at this time and whispered: "It seems a bit strange. The naval army of Fenshui Island is famous all over the world and it is absolutely impossible to be so pussy. Although our strength may scare them, this is definitely not their performance. Master, be careful of fraud. Let me go over and surrender later."

Li Ming smiled slightly and said, "Although the situation you said may happen, I still hope that things will be resolved smoothly and peacefully as I imagined. I really don't want to kill people anymore. I will go up later. One way they won't believe that I will drive a boat to fight them in person. Two way I have the highest martial arts skills among the people here. Once something happens, I can escape calmly. After all, they are all ordinary officers and soldiers. I don't care about it. Pay attention to keeping the boiler temperature and ready to set sail at any time."

Wang Tao moved his lips to argue, but when he saw Li Ming's firm expression, he forced himself to hold back. In front of him, the tower ship left the fleet and slowly leaned towards them, stopped more than fifty meters away from them. The person who looked like an officer on the ship raised his head and looked at the ironclad ship and shouted: "The commander of the First Fleet of Fenshui Island, Yang Dian, the captain of the Yufeng Zhaowu, led all the personnel to surrender. I hope you can go out of the way and spare the lives of so many people."—
