With the strength of Li Ke's fleet, naturally there is no need to worry about these Gothic warships, but Cen Changqian's own safety cannot be guaranteed, after all, he is now alone on the Gothic warship, and even the guards around him are left on the boat. So all he had to do now was get back to the fleet safely.

Thinking of this, Cen Changqian's body also broke out in a cold sweat, and he forcibly controlled his expression at the moment, trying not to let the other party see the murderous intent in his heart, and then said calmly: "General, your request is really embarrassing to us, and the owner of the fleet is not me, so I need to report it to the captain of the fleet!" ”

After Cen Changqian finished speaking, she pretended to have a cowardly expression on her face, and looked a little cringe at the Gothic general in front of her who slapped herself. It's just that in his heart, he has already regarded the other party as a dead person. Dare to beat the strategists around the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, even if the other party is the Gothic king, they will suffer their bloody revenge.

Seeing the guy in front of him who looked very arrogant at first, but was slapped into his 'original form' by himself, the vanity of the one-eared general was greatly satisfied, and he laughed and kicked Cen Changqian to the ground and said: "Get out, let that bullshit master behind you crawl over to see me!" ”

The one-eared general couldn't imagine how stupid what he did today, and it was his slap and kick today that made Cen Changqian, who was not very open-minded, firmly remember in his heart, and the next revenge was not only aimed at the one-eared general himself, but also the entire Gothic kingdom behind him, and even hundreds of years later, the Goths who had become a minority group. Still cursing from time to time for this stupid ancestor of theirs!

As a strategist, Cen Changqian has lived a privileged life since she was a child. He hadn't even suffered much of a setback, but he knew what it meant to be humiliated. In his capacity. If it is because of the anger of the moment, it is really not worth it to fight with the other party, not to mention that he is just a scholar, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the one-eyed general.

It was precisely because of this that he silently got up from the deck, and then boarded the boat amid the ridicule of the Goths around him. It was the soldiers of King Wu's Mansion who rowed the boat, and when they saw the slap marks on Cen Changqian's face and the embarrassed clothes, they were all furious. He was about to draw his sword on the spot, but he was stopped by Cen Changqian with his eyes and ordered them to return to the warship as quickly as possible.

"Your subordinates are incompetent, in the past, Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, at least he could get out of the way, but his subordinates were humiliated by this, and the other party not only wanted to detain our ship, but also clamored to leave us all to help them build ships, it seems that today is not good!" Cen Changqian returned to the boat. Xiang Li Ke and the others smiled bitterly

"Brother Changqian, you ...... You have been wronged! As soon as Li Ke saw Cen Changqian's appearance, he immediately guessed what happened to the other party, and he was also furious at the moment. He didn't expect that these goths would be so arrogant. Wang Fangyi and the others around him were the same, drawing their knives one by one. Yelling to make the other party pay.

"Prepare for war, blast all these goths to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!" Li Ke is usually more generous. However, it also divides the situation, from the moment he saw Cen Changqian being beaten. He had already made a decision to make these hateful goths suffer a hundredfold, a thousand times the revenge!

"No!" Wang Fangyi and other generals agreed, and immediately began to order the ships to prepare. In addition to the four warships, the ships in Lüvin's fleet were not ordinary merchant ships, after all, they often ran ocean routes, and there were many dangers such as pirates on the way, so each ship was equipped with a lot of weapons, among which the cheap ballista was the most common.

Speaking of which, when the ballista was first made out by Li Su, it was only used as a whaling weapon, and the range was not far, but later after some people's improvements, coupled with the contact with Rome, it absorbed some of the advantages of the Roman ballista, so the current ballista has been greatly improved, although the range is not as good as the large bed crossbow, but the cost is extremely low, not only has it become the favorite of armed merchant ships, but even the army has adopted some ballistas instead of bed crossbows.

The one-eared general sat on his five-oared warship, confidently waiting for the Han people in front of him to surrender voluntarily. In fact, he didn't know anything about the Tang Dynasty, and when some Romans passed through here in the past, they had already spread the affairs of the Tang Dynasty to the Visigothic Kingdom. It's just that in his opinion, no matter how powerful the Tang is, what's the use, after all, they are too far away from here, and it is impossible for the army to reach here.

What's more, this huge ship driven by the Han people has attracted the attention of the Gothic nobles in Dingis City, who originally wanted to detain their ship in the port yesterday, but considering the large number of Han people on board, if the other party resists in the port, it is likely to cause unnecessary losses to the city, and there are so many merchants from other countries in the port, if the ship is detained under their noses, it will deal a blow to the credibility of their kingdom.

As for the force of Li Ke's fleet, the one-eared general and the Gothic nobles all agreed that this kind of large ship is driven by the wind, and the operation must be very inflexible, and the acceleration is also very slow, so as long as they dispatch several times the number of ships, and then intercept each other at sea, then no matter how big the opponent's ships are, in the end they can only let them fish and meat.

I have to say that although these Goths are savage, they are still very insightful about naval warfare, if they are replaced by ordinary merchant ships and are intercepted by them and stopped on the sea, and the distance between the two sides has no room to accelerate at all, then it is really possible to be captured by the one-eared general. It's just a pity that they encountered Li Ke's fleet, especially four warships full of artillery, so this group of goths crashed into the iron plate.

With Li Ke's order, all the ships with combat effectiveness in the fleet took action, the formation of the fleet began to change, some supply ships and cargo ships entered the center of the fleet, and the hulls of the four warships were horizontal, facing the Goths on the side, and the gunners inside also began to be nervously busy, and one after another projectiles were stuffed into the black muzzles.

The one-eared generals naturally noticed the changes in the fleet, and they were a little surprised at first, but they didn't expect these Han people to dare to resist in this situation. However, when he saw that the other party's four giant ships were facing him horizontally, he laughed, because in his opinion, the other party simply put the ship in a good position for them to crash over, and he couldn't even think about it, and maybe even in his heart, he was still scolding the Han people for being stupid.

It's a pity that with the IQ of the one-eared general, it is estimated that it is difficult to understand what a long-range attack is, let alone what is artillery.

That is, in the laughter of the one-eared general, Li Ke finally ordered everyone to fire, and as a result, with a thunderclap-like roar, hundreds of artillery pieces fired at the same time, and the black projectiles flew out with a whistling sound, rushing towards the Gothic warship like black lightning.

In order to prevent Li Ke and their fleet from speeding up and escaping, the Goths deliberately made their warships not far from Li Ke's fleet, at most about a mile, and hundreds of warships were crowded together, it can almost be said that the bow followed the stern, and as a result, this round of artillery went down, almost half of the artillery hit the target, and for a while, the screams on the Gothic warship were connected, and countless people were cut and even killed by the sawdust.

Admiral One-Ear's seat was the largest and at the same time the most forward, so that at least ten guns were aimed at his ship, and as a result, four shells hit the head and middle of the ship, and as a result, several large holes were immediately broken in the front half of the ship, and at the same time, the oarsmen inside were hit by the projectiles, and even more were killed and wounded, and large streams of sea water kept surging upwards from several holes.

The one-eared general still maintained a laughing posture, but the expression on his face froze, and even there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't believe what was happening in front of him at all.

And it is worth mentioning that the one-eared general was extremely lucky, the soldiers around him were hit by a cannon that hit the side of the ship, and countless sawdust cut through the crowd like knives, as a result, many people were cut on their bodies and faces, and the unlucky ones were shot in the eye, and they ran around screaming on the spot. Only the one-eared general and a few soldiers were unharmed, but they were all stunned by the tragic situation in front of them, and they were stunned and motionless.

However, this was only the first round of shelling, because of Cen Changqian's humiliation, Li Ke and Wang Fangyi and others were already full of anger, and Li Ke had already given an order just now, all the Goths were not left, so after a while, another round of artillery salvo began, and as a result, the artillery hit rate after correcting the firing angle increased greatly, and more Gothic ships were injured or even sunk under the artillery, and many Gothic soldiers jumped into the sea in order to avoid the bombardment of artillery.

What was even worse for the Goths was that their officers had never experienced such a scene at all, either they were as frightened as the one-eared generals, or they were as frightened as ordinary soldiers, and they only knew how to hold the rats and scurry, and did not even think of resisting.

In fact, in this case, whether the Goths resist or not, the end is already doomed as early as the moment Cen Changqian was slapped in the face, and this is just a small interest paid by the Goths.

After several rounds of salvos, among the hundreds of Gothic warships, few sank directly, but most of the warships were injured by artillery shots, and their speed was also affected, and they couldn't even escape. At this time, the four warships on Li Ke's side also stopped firing, after all, shells also cost money.

Immediately under the command of Wang Fangyi, with four warships as the mainstay, assisted by armed merchant ships in the rear, they accelerated their speed and collided with the Gothic warships, but under the crushing of these tall ships, the Goths' half-paralyzed oar-seat warships had no resistance at all, like a wounded woman, being crushed by huge ships, and the remaining soldiers on the ships also fell into the water, and more coincidentally, the one-eared general was still alive.
