Chai Kehong easily destroyed the Tamna Kingdom at a very small cost, which made him excited and a little unreal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time the task was supposed to be completed by Li Chengding as the commander-in-chief, but because of various accidents, this opportunity for meritorious service finally fell on his head.

However, the successful capture of Tamna does not mean that the matter is over, and the first thing that needs to be done is to build defenses.

After all, Tamnado is not far from Baekje, and sooner or later what is happening here will spread to Baekje, and it is really hard to say what the attitude of Baekje will be at that time.

If Li Chengding's main force is here, there are enough troops in hand, even if the Baekje people want to make some conflicts, they don't have to be afraid of them, but they can just teach them a lesson, so as not to worry about them counterattacking after the main force of the Huainan Army withdraws in the future.

However, with only 800 men in his hands, it was enough to occupy and administer Tamna Island, but if the Baekje people attacked in a big way, they might not be able to stop it, so it was imperative to build a new city.

The original so-called city on Tamna Island was actually just a settlement surrounded by wooden walls, and there was not much defense at all, and what the Huainan army wanted to build was a real city.

This city does not need to be very big for the time being, as long as it can garrison one or two thousand people to enter, can store enough food, and has strong defenses, so that it can hold out for at least three months in the face of a large siege by the enemy.

Of course, building a wall defense is only a measure just in case, and the best way is to take the initiative to attack, and directly teach the Baekje people a good lesson, so that they can't afford to have the idea of fighting Huainan, and at the same time, it can also be used to shock other potential enemies.

When the foreign enemy is completely eliminated, it is a good time to start raising horses.

But Chai Kehong didn't know that when he was busy preparing for the construction of the new city wall, someone was already teaching those Baekje people a lesson.

At the beginning, the fleet was blown away by the storm, and more than a dozen ships of Chai Kehong's team were blown by the storm to a place very close to Tamna Island, and it only took one day to successfully reach Tamna Island; And the main fleet led by Li Chengding did not have such good luck.

They were blown southerly by the storm, and after continuing to sail northeast for several days, they never encountered any islands or land, which made Li Chengding very anxious.

The sea is vast, and it is said that if you sail northeast, you should be able to reach the Silla Peninsula or the Wa Kingdom, but if you are unlucky, you can pass directly through the strait between the two.

So after sailing for five days, Li Chengding estimated that he should have come to the strait between the Wa Kingdom and the Silla Peninsula.

So he ordered the fleet to change the direction of sailing, from the previous northeast direction, to the west, in order to find land as soon as possible and confirm their position.

Otherwise, if you continue to sail like a headless fly, the fleet's supplies will be depleted sooner or later.

Just over a day after sailing west, the fleet saw land, much to the cheers of the soldiers.

Whether the land in front of you is a small island or the Silla Peninsula, you can at least get a rough idea of the direction.

The order to go ashore was swiftly given, and although Li Chengding had given the order to allow the soldiers to go ashore and launch raids to boost morale and obtain provisions, it would only have to wait until their location was confirmed.

At this time, the situation on the peninsula was falling into division, among which the Tae-feudal state, that is, the historical post-Goguryeo, was located in the northern part of the peninsula, and not only had the most territory, but also the strongest.

Later, Baekje's territory is located in the southeast of the peninsula, and it is the smallest of the three countries, but its strength is second only to the Taefeng kingdom in the three countries, and it is not much worse than the Taefeng kingdom, and its capital is in Jeonju.

As for Silla, which was the weakest, this country was the remnant of the original Silla power that unified the peninsula, and its territory was located in the northeastern part of the peninsula, with Geumseong as its capital.

When Lee Seung-jeong and the others landed, they learned that they were located in Kangju, between Silla and Baekje, and that it was an important city fought for by Baekje and Silla, and was currently under the control of the Baekje army.

Arriving in such a place was obviously Li Chengding's bad luck, because such an important city often meant that there would be heavy guards, and they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to show off their might here and get supplies.

Whether it is Hou Baekje or Hou Goguryeo, their total strength has more than 100,000 troops, although the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is not in the eyes of the Huainan army at all, but after all, there are many people, and they still look very frightening.

As for the fortress of Kangju, it is said that its defenders also numbered more than 20,000 people, and it was not only the front line of defense against Silla, but also the starting point for Baekje's attack on Silla, so the garrison was relatively large.

However, Li Chengding's expeditionary army is not in a good state at present, not only is its morale low, but also because of the long stay at sea, even the supply of supplies is somewhat insufficient, and if they directly face the siege of the enemy army in this case, it may lead to a major defeat.

After finding out the current situation, a group of Huainan generals gathered together again to discuss.

"Otherwise, let's get out of here first and go to Tamna Island to complete the task assigned by the king, right?" At this time, in the face of the unfavorable situation, many generals hesitated a little.

Now that they know where they are, they can reach Tamna Island in a few days and complete their mission by changing direction.

And fighting with Baekje's army, that is not their main task at all, it is only incidental, and even if it cannot be completed, it is not a big deal.

As for the lack of supplies and the low morale of the soldiers, this point did not hinder the conquest of Tamna Island, after all, the defense force of Tamna Island was far worse than that of Connecticut, where they were now, even if the Huainan Army was not in a state at present, but to capture a small Tamna Island, these generals were still full of confidence.

They didn't know that at this time, Tamna Island had actually been defeated by Chai Kehong and eight hundred soldiers, and their main task had actually been completed.

"It's okay to go directly to Tamna Island, but have you thought about it, we are currently short of supplies, and Tamna Island is just a small island, the island is barren, even if our army captures it, but it will not be easy to get enough supplies there. Therefore, the last general felt that since Connecticut was heavily garrisoned and it was difficult for our army to seek benefits, it would be better to change places. Although there are many troops in Baekje, it is impossible for each city to have so many defenders, right? ”

"As long as we avoid these heavily guarded cities, our army can easily obtain supplies; By the time the soldiers have recuperated and their supplies are sufficient, there should be no danger in fighting even the Baekje army in the brigade! Ho Kyung-so proposed.

His idea is also the idea of many generals, although it has long been determined that the means of robbery to obtain supplies and the current situation also seems to have to obtain supplies through looting, but the common sense of the art of war to avoid the real and attack the false needs to be considered.

Li Chengding also had this idea in his heart, after all, the purpose of his coming here was to obtain supplies and boost morale through looting, and as for teaching the Baekje army, it could be put to a later date.

At this time, seeing that all the generals were a little moved, Li Chengding was immediately ready to agree to He Jingzhu's suggestion.

However, just as he was about to give the order, a scout came to report that a Baekje army of 4,000 men was coming towards them!

"An army of four thousand? How is it so little? Li Chengding and the others were suddenly a little surprised.

Judging by the strength of the defenders of Connecticut, it should not be right to send only such a small number of troops against them.

Unbeknownst to them, the reason why the Baekje army only came with 4,000 men was because they regarded the Huainan army that landed as Silla!

Because of the location of Connecticut at the junction of the two countries, the vigilance of the defenders here was still very high, and soon after the Huainan army came ashore, the defending generals discovered this army that suddenly crossed the sea.

Because Silla was the longest state, it was full of internal contradictions, the ruling class was relatively corrupt, and the military strength was naturally the weakest, and it was not at all the opponent of the two emerging states of Later Baekje and Later Goguryeo.

Therefore, when they learned that an army of several thousand men had landed, the defending generals did not arouse sufficient vigilance in their hearts, and only thought that a small force of Silla troops had come to attack them.

Generally speaking, the Silla army of the same strength was no match for the Baekje army, so this Connecticut defender felt that only 4,000 troops were enough to deal with the enemy army.

On the other side, when he learned that the Baekje army had only sent 4,000 men, Lee Seung-jeong was a little confused at first, but then he came to his senses and was overjoyed.

"It seems that the people of Baekje thought we were Silla, so they only sent 4,000 men; With such pride and underestimation of the enemy, how can it be undefeated? ”

He Jingzhu also smiled and said: "The enemy's light troops are advancing rapidly, is this looking down on our army and thinking that our army is those weak Silla troops?" General, this is a victory sent to the door, if you don't collect it, I'm afraid that even the heavens will blame you! ”

"Yes, since the enemy army has come to die, the old man also advocates that they be eliminated first!" Veteran Cheng and rare to agree with Li Chengding and others.

……

If the generals were worried that the defenders of Kangzhou would attack on a large scale, they would have fewer troops and would be difficult to resist, but now that the enemy army regarded them as Silla and came as a result, how long would it take to destroy the enemy army in front of them?

With 3,000 Huainan elite soldiers against 4,000 Baekje troops, no one thought that they would lose.

And once the enemy army that came was defeated, the morale of the soldiers would definitely rise, and even if they were lucky, they would be able to replenish their supplies through capture, so how could they let go of such a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.
