Of course, although Luo Zhang didn't stop it, he didn't ignore it either. If the unstable factors on the sea were eliminated, those seaports would naturally be safe. Some people can understand this, and some people don't understand it at all.
Luo Zhang doesn't need them to understand. Many people think Luo Zhang is stupid, but in Luo Zhang's opinion, it's still unclear who is stupid.
The development of shipping will drive the development of commerce. Eventually, developed shipping will leave the Tang Dynasty and head towards the vast outside world. This is what Luo Zhang wants to see.
Isolating the country is not a good idea. Even a country like the Great Food Country, which is vulnerable in future generations, can go abroad so early. Why can't the Tang Dynasty?
Of course, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, many people went to the Dashi Kingdom, but when did that happen?
Luo Zhangke couldn't wait that long, so it would be better if things were done early.
Now that he has encountered so many ships from Japan, Liu Renyuan is also thinking about it.
Now Liu Renyuan had two options in front of him, either to turn the ship around and leave immediately, to find Master Sun Ren and Zheng Shuang, and concentrate the power of the three fleets to destroy these Japanese ships.
But once he leaves, who knows whether these ships will leave the port and rush towards Datang?
This possibility is not impossible, and it is very possible. After their secret is discovered, the Japanese will definitely react, and spreading the ship is the best reaction.
By then, their three fleets would not be able to stop Japan from attacking coastal ports.
The first possibility was rejected by Liu Renyuan immediately.
Then there is only the second way, which is to go directly with your own fleet to destroy these Japanese ships.
There were hundreds of Japanese ships, but he only had twelve, which was a tenfold difference.
Although one Royal Navy ship can block ten ships, it is said that it has not been truly tested.
Isn’t today the best time to inspect a high-sea ship?
Thinking of this, Liu Renyuan chose the second method without any hesitation.
He immediately gave the order: "Give me the order, so the ship enters combat mode, pull out all the artillery for me, and then prepare to bombard the enemy. When the battle begins, everyone fights, and sinks as many as they can. Don't be merciful." , what we want is total annihilation, few deaths, do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone on the main ship agreed.
At the same time, the news was also immediately transmitted to the other eleven ships.
They also responded to Liu Renyuan's message at the same time, saying they understood.
As the two sides gradually approached, Liu Renyuan took the lead to attack, and the remaining eleven ships were arranged in a cone behind Liu Renyuan's ship. At the same time, the muzzles of their guns were pointed outwards, and they were ready to fire. The Japanese obviously did not expect that Liu Renyuan would make such a crazy counterattack even if he was about to be surrounded.
However, the ships of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty still made them a little scared.
Big, really too big. It doesn't matter if it is bigger than their ships. In front of the Tang Dynasty ships, their ships are like adults facing children. There is no comparison at all.
Of course, it doesn't matter how big you are. It's not impossible for the ants to bite the statue to death. They have hundreds of ships here, but the Tang Navy only has twelve ships.
Some Japanese people have begun to covet the ships of the Tang Dynasty, thinking about what it would be like to occupy such a ship and drive such a large ship to the Tang Dynasty.
However, just when these people were complacent, bombardments came from Liu Renyuan and other ships.
Immediately, I saw shells fired from the artillery of Liu Renyuan and other ships, and fired at the ships surrounding them.
Immediately, the hit ship burst into flames and burned.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly, or the ship will sink!"
"Help me, I'm on fire!"
"Ah, there's a big hole in the side of the boat and water has entered. We're doomed!"
Such sounds echoed one after another on the sea, but what they received was not a response from others, but another round of artillery bombardment. More Japanese ships were on fire, and more ships were flooded.
At this time, the twelve ships gradually dispersed according to the previous plan and sailed towards the Japanese ships surrounding them.
Liu Renyuan's order was to annihilate them all. Although he had sunk seven or eight ships just now, this obviously could not satisfy Liu Renyuan's appetite. What he wanted was to destroy all the ships here so that none of them could return.
Seeing this situation, the Japanese were not foolhardy and immediately fired the giant crossbow on the ship.
Giant crossbows were fired at ships on the distant sea.
However, the high-sea ship was too high, and their first shot was not enough. Either it fell into the sea, or it was stuck on the hull of the high-sea ship. Unfortunately, the hull of the high-sea ship was too thick. Even if you hit it, it would only be Just sticking one head in will have no effect at all.
