Chapter 1923 Desperately (Last Part)
Ali Ibn had experience in fighting against the Tang army once, but his opponent at that time was Yuchi Baolin, and the weapons used by the Tang army were also muskets. That time, the 20,000 troops he led were beaten to pieces in an instant.
However, at that time, Ali Ibn firmly believed that the Tang army was only relying on the advantages of weapons, and if they were melee, they would definitely not be the opponent of the Dashi Cavalry.
But now he knew that he was wrong. What Tang Jun is really good at seems to be not the kind of weapon of long-range attack, but melee combat.
The sword lights intertwined, and blood and flesh flew everywhere! The fallen flowers and flowing waters of the natives who were killed without even having a single encounter in front of the Tang army, which made him proud was no better than those natives. When the horizontal sword and the scimitar attacked, countless sparks were splashed, the Tang army on the other side would take the opportunity to insert the knife into the big cannibal's chest.
It is undeniable that the cannibals are indeed fierce enough, and the scimitar in their hands is also bluffing enough, but they are still naval forces. Land War is completely incomparable with the "Sea Wolf" brought by Li Shimin.
Although the Tang Dynasty's "Sea Wolf" was a navy army, its training was not limited to water. Land combat was also a compulsory course for them. Moreover, all the "Sea Wolf" were selected from the sixteen guards at the beginning, and their land combat capabilities were completely above the water combat capabilities.
In this way, although the cannibals have the advantage in terms of numbers, their combat power is not one order of magnitude.
Moreover, this battle is not that simple. The cannibals came ashore just to avoid the Tang Dynasty reinforcements on the sea. The pressure in his heart could not be removed no matter what.
Although they did not cause much damage to Li Shimin's fleet before this, their dominant position was obvious, which was the legendary battle to fight.
But now the situation has changed. As soon as the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty arrived, the cannibals were panicked. After all, they are now an army hanging overseas. If they are surrounded by the Tang Dynasty, they will immediately follow in Li Shimin's footsteps.
Under such psychological pressure, the cannibals could not concentrate on fighting against the Tang army. The soldiers in the team would look behind from time to time to see if their follow-up troops had come up, and also to see if the Tang reinforcements had come up.
Ali Ibn was also concerned about the situation behind him. While commanding the battle in front, he looked in the direction of his landing from time to time, hoping to see reinforcements arrive as soon as possible.
But at this critical moment, waves of muffled thunder came, and at the same time, screams came faintly from the shore.
After all, the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty were still here. Ali Ibn sighed in his heart, turned to the deputy beside him and ordered: "Tell me the order that the whole army will press forward, and you must defeat the Tang army. In addition, the warships that have not completed landing on the sea will have to hold the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty for two days in any case, and create opportunities for us."
"General..." The deputy general was hesitant.
"What? What do you want to say?" Ali Ibn asked, turning his head and asking.
The deputy general was very clear about the current situation. Ali's order was the only way to gain time. But thinking of the fierce artillery fire of the Tang Fleet, he still reminded: "General, the navy has no way to stop the Tang Fleet for two days. The soldiers were too afraid of the Tang warships. If they asked them to stop the Tang army, they might mutiny!"
Ali Ibn took a deep breath: "I don't care about these things. If you pass the order, they will either die in battle gloriously on the sea or fall on the beach in shame, choose one of the two."
"But, in case the soldiers mutiny..." the deputy general reminded again.
"Go and convey the orders. If they really mutiny, it would be hundreds of times better to die at the hands of their own people than to die at the hands of Tangren." Ali Ibn said helplessly.
The deputy general knew the current situation, and he also knew the current situation. The soldiers who came from the Tang army's artillery were afraid, and Ali Ibn was also afraid.
But what if you are afraid? The battle has been like this. If Li Shimin cannot be completely controlled by him, then the one who waits for him is death, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who follow him will not have any good results.
After all, the sea is not as good as land. All supplies on the sea are limited, and no one will bring tens of thousands of prisoners. At that time, I am afraid that the prisoners will starve to death before they rebel.
Therefore, if defeated, Ali Ibn may be alive, but the soldiers are dead. Although the Tang army could not take away the prisoners, they could kill all the prisoners.
...
After the order of the deputy general was conveyed, the remaining Dashi warships that had not yet completed their landing immediately began to turn around and launch a deadly counterattack towards the Datang fleet surrounding him from afar, without a mutiny as he was worried about.
The soldiers of Dashi were not stupid, and they also knew that mutiny was meaningless at this time. The Tang army would not let any of them go. If they were to be pierced, there might be a glimmer of hope, but if they mutiny or escape, they would probably have a dead end.
But reality is always so cruel. Although Dashi's counterattack was unswerving, the shells of the North Sea Fleet also had a heart of iron.
With the continuous adjustment of the muzzle, one after another of the shells roared into the Dashi warship, tearing the enemy's flesh and blood into countless pieces.
Hundreds of cannibal warships and tens of thousands of water soldiers were using their lives to buy time for their companions on the shore.
This behavior was seen in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and everyone showed an expression of admiration.
In order to show respect for these big-food "warriors", the gunners couldn't help but speed up the loading of shells, and the rocket troops also began to board the deck and aimed the weapons in their hands at the big-food people who came to the death.
The blood soon dyed the entire sea red, and the dense fleet of Big Foods began to become sparse. The roars of the King of War completely shattered all the hopes of Big Foods.
The fleet that turned around to attack the Tang reinforcements was not supported for two days, and the North Sea Fleet was torn into pieces like crazy. In the end, only dozens of warships remained, and they fled to the shore desperately.
"Your Highness, what should we do next? Should we land on the island?" Li Zhen asked in a deep voice at the big food fleet that had been completely broken.
"Send troops to the island, and let the artillery plow the coast twice for me to ensure the safety of the island-based troops." Li You looked at the lush tropical jungle on the island and gave a calm order.
The old man is on the island now, but he doesn't know the specific location. Li You dare not rashly order the troops to shell the island directly, so it is inevitable to land on the island. However, for safety reasons, he was not stingy with the few shells in his hand in the end.
