The chase continued and the distance shortened. After the two ships chased for more than half an hour, the high-sea ship behind finally approached the fleeing Gaoguli cargo ship in front.
At the command of the Duwei, the head was passed and three artillery pieces were ignited.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Three artillery shots sounded, and three shells shot towards the Gogouli cargo ship ahead.
Hearing the loud noise of the artillery from behind, the people on the Goguli cargo ship in front immediately went crazy and tried to find a place to hide. They had heard about the power of the Tang army's artillery. Even the city walls could be blown down. They were stationed on the bank of the Liao River. Cui Dunshi was hit by this artillery and suffered heavy casualties. This artillery was so powerful that it was the great weapon of the Tang army.
Nowadays, if you install it on a warship and shoot at them, you can imagine the fate of their warship.
"Bang bang bang!" Three loud noises sounded, and three pillars of fire rose into the sky, and a big hole was made in the Gaoguli cargo ship by the artillery.
There were endless screams and screams, and some of them were on fire. Some died tragically on the spot, and more jumped into the sea from the cargo ship.
It's better to drown than to be burned to death. Besides, if the Tang army captures them and pulls them onto the boat, then they can live, but if they are burned to death, then there is no chance.
At the stern of the ship, Su Wen Gaiyuan and the princess stood side by side. The two did not hide, but looked at the distant sea ships pursuing from behind without the slightest fear. The artillery attacks did not fall near them, which made them Escaped the first disaster.
"Wan'er, are you afraid?" Su Wen Gaiyuan looked at the woman beside him and asked.
"I'm not afraid. As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything!" The princess smiled sweetly, just as she smiled sweetly when she first met Su Wen Gaiyuan more than ten years ago.
"Okay, your words are enough." As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wengaiyuan picked up the princess next to him and jumped into the sea amidst everyone's exclamations.
The soldiers behind them were all shocked and hurriedly ran to the side of the ship to look down, but there was no trace of Su Wen Gaiyuan at all. This made their faces change greatly, and some of them jumped in impatiently.
From the rear, after the first round of artillery successfully hit the Gaoguli cargo ship in front, the guards couldn't help laughing. As long as it hit, it meant that the Gaoguli cargo ship was finished.
"Continue to bombard me, and then sink them!" Du Wei immediately issued the second order.
Loading, igniting, shooting, in the second round, the artillery shot out the ammunition again, drawing a parabola and blasting towards the cargo ship that was on fire.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three more explosions sounded, and the Goguli cargo ship was completely engulfed in fire. Those crew members who had not had time to jump into the sea were swallowed up by the fire. Gradually, the cargo ship began to take in water and slowly sank.
The guard who saw this scene from behind was slightly relieved, but soon he became energetic and ordered: "Lean over here, quickly, come over here, and search for anyone wearing royal robes. Look carefully." Got it!"
The Duwei ordered that all the crew members were mobilized, and the warship quickly approached the sinking cargo ship. At the same time, all the crew members on the warship gathered on the side of the ship, looking toward the sea, searching for the man wearing the royal robes that the Duwei said. .
Everyone knew that there was no one else wearing the king's robe except King Gaoguli. If he discovered it himself, it would be a great achievement, so everyone stared at the sea with wide eyes, hoping that they would find something.
However, they saw through all their eyes and did not see anyone wearing royal robes. There were only fallen Gaoguli sailors splashing in the water, calling for help, hoping that the Tang army could pull them up.
These Gaoguli soldiers were of little value to the guards. Saving them would be a waste of food. However, when he saw a man wearing general uniform, his eyes lit up.
He immediately ordered his subordinates: "Fetch that man out for me. Remember, before he comes up, shoot a few arrows at his hands and feet to cripple him first and then pull him up!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Duwei naturally had his own ideas about capturing this general. He wanted to ask if there was King Goguli on the cargo ship. If they were not there, they would have to continue searching. If there was, they had not found it so far, and they were afraid that they would have been buried in the sea. , although he did not catch the King of Gaoguli, he could be considered to have completed the Lord's order.
