Chapter 412: Dingjiang Mountain

"Commander, the Japanese have really attacked with the whole army!"

"It was expected." Li Xiao didn't raise his head, picked up a cannon on the chessboard, and slapped it on a horse opposite, "Call you greedy, tell you to rush, there is no way to escape now, right?" ”

On the opposite side of the chessboard, the marching commander Shi Liu Renliang stared at the chessboard in front of him, and said helplessly, "The big handsome is so calm, I can't compare, I play chess here, but my mind is all hanging on the battlefield over there." Half of the chess power can't be played, but the big marshal finds a chance for revenge today. ”

"Don't worry, nothing will change, it's all in our deduction. For this day, we have been preparing for three months, and we have been waiting for this day for three whole months. We have predicted all kinds of possibilities, made deductions, and made plans, no matter how the Japanese people change, they will only be within our expectations, so they can't escape the palm of our hands. ”

Abe Hirov was very arrogant and arrogant, thinking that with 1,000 warships and 60,000 soldiers, he could completely ignore the defense of the 20,000 Tang Silla coalition army. He thought that his soldiers would be able to break through the Tang army's water village and force the Tang army into the narrow small area of the Geshan River with just one rush.

However, a large number of Japanese troops immediately exposed their own shortcomings during the attack, and the Japanese troops who came in batches lacked a center of gravity in command, although Abe Hirov thought that he was good at water warfare, but few of the generals such as Mao Ye Jun Zhizi, Azumi Bilufu, and Lu Yuan Junchen really served Abe Birov.

In fact, this battle was already manifested before the war, before the invasion of Silla, the generals entered Silla in batches, and they also fought separately, and there was no unified command and coordination at all. This time they joined forces, but there was still no real center of gravity.

Most of these people in the Wa Kingdom were powerful factions of the local or imperial court, or old nobles who were self-contained, and it was impossible for them to obey the commands of others.

The 10,000 horses of Luyuan had just arrived, and he had never had a co-ordination with the other three troops on the battlefield of Silla before, let alone heard the precedent of Abe giving orders.

As a result, as soon as the horn of the charge was blown, there was a lack of effective coordination between the various departments, resulting in many doors, chaotic formations, or even no formations.

This situation is particularly prominent in the time of water war.

On the Tang Army's side, Li Xiao was sitting in the castle at the mouth of the bay river, and the water commander in the bay was personally commanded by Zhao Zhiman, and he was indeed not very easy, and the main force was too few troops.

A total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, half of which were assigned to guard the three castles on the shore.

The remaining 10,000 men and horses are in the two water villages, and the pressure is still very great in the face of the impact of 60,000 Japanese army wild boar herds.

The main central fleet led by Zhao Zhiman retreated to the mouth of the river, and ordered the shore defense weapons of the two water villages on both flanks to fire crossbow arrows, throwing stones, fireballs, rockets and other objects at the Japanese army.

Immediately afterwards, the two remaining fleets in the two water villages were also ordered to sail out of the water villages, and when they contracted back with the central fleet, they took advantage of the relatively forward situation and converged towards the center at the same time.

The Japanese fleet, which had taken the initiative to charge, gradually fell into the semi-encirclement of the Tang Army.

Especially at this time, the Tang army occupied favorable terrain and was anchored downstream, while the Japanese army was attacking against the current, which relieved a lot of pressure on the Tang army.

"Yaqian, the charge of the Japanese is too casual, don't you even see that our two wings have been wrapped?"

On the flagship of the Central Fleet, a lieutenant couldn't help but curse when he saw those crazy Japanese ships.

Zhao Zhiman stood there like a pine tree, his eyes fixed on the overall situation.

"Isn't that bad? These have long been expected by the marshal, he has long said that it is difficult for the Japanese people to have a unified command center, and there will be no tacit cooperation in the fight, these people rely on a ruthless and ferocious force to fight, and then there are more people than people, fighting fiercely, after all, the Japanese country is located in a corner, they are all archipelagos, and they usually fight at the level of village brawls, how can they know what the real method of war is. ”

"The Japanese are so stupid!" The lieutenant couldn't help but scolded again, after preparing for so long, he thought it would be a tough battle, but it turned out that the Japanese people played like this, which was really disappointing.

"War is only about the result, not the process, and still less can we underestimate the enemy." Zhao Zhiman turned around and ordered, "Take advantage of the current chaotic energy of the Japanese people, let the ships on both wings flank the Japanese army at the same time, attack with arrows and crossbows, and attack with fire at the same time!" ”

Because the Japanese rushed too fast and lacked command, although there were many Japanese ships, most of them were very densely crowded.

As soon as the rockets on the Tang army ships on both wings came out, a large number of Japanese small boats quickly fell into a sea of fire, panicked, and the fire boats that fled set fire to more large ships behind.

The Japanese army was already chaotic in layout and disorderly in command, and at this time it was even more passive, and near the narrow river mouth, it instantly became a big pot of dumplings, and the Japanese army jumped into the water to flee for their lives.

"It's good!"

Zhao Zhiman swung his fist into the air, "Take advantage of the situation to counterattack!" ”

At this time, the Central Fleet finally stopped retreating, but neatly went down the river, advancing towards the Japanese ships, using the firearms equipped with them, plus the range advantage of the heavy crossbows on the ships, to sweep away the Japanese ships from a distance.

By noon, the Japanese attack had been defeated.

More than 200 Japanese ships were burned in World War I.

When the news reached the castle, Li Xiao completed another torture and killing of Liu Renliang.

"It is advisable to chase the poor man with the remaining bravery, not to sell the name of the overlord, and order Zhao Zhiman to lead the fleet to chase and kill! The Japanese people cannot be allowed to regroup, and those who have to be killed will not be able to form an army, and they will not be able to regroup! ”

The herald took the order and departed.

Liu Renliang put the chess pieces on the one hand and said in amazement, "The two poems of Dashuai just now are really full of domineering, but there is a whole article?" ”

"Not yet, just casually."

Zhao Zhiman got the military order, so he was naturally even more concerned, leading more than 100 warships to pursue all the way.

Within two days, he forced the Japanese army to respond in four hurried rounds, and each time he killed the hastily assembled Japanese army and defeated the army.

"Report, report to the marshal, Zhao Yanei two days, four battles against the Japanese army, four battles are victorious. More than 600 Japanese ships were burned, the smoke was scorching, the sea was red, countless Japanese thieves were killed, and more than 10,000 prisoners should have been captured! ”

Li Xiao raised his head and laughed at Liu Renliang.

"Congratulations to the big handsome, you finally won a big victory."

The two of them were laughing at each other.

After a long time, Li Xiao threw down the chess pieces in his hand, "No, I'm tired of playing in the past two days." ”

Liu Renliang chuckled a few times and put the chess pieces into the box one by one. He put away the chess pieces and looked up to see Li Xiao, a young marshal, who was only in his twenties this year.

But who would have thought that such a young man could be able to pacify the old land of Baekje with 3,000 old and weak after the main force of the imperial court was transferred to the Western Regions, and thundered to quell the rebellion of Baekje, quickly restore order, resume production, and make Andong self-sufficient and pay millions of taxes to the imperial court.

Not to mention, now he has cut down first and then played, led 20,000 people into the chicken forest, first captured the king of Silla, captured the king of Silla, set up a puppet court of Silla, and defeated the fleet of 60,000 Japanese troops at the mouth of this river.

After this war, Li Xiao's name was completely Weizhen Haidong.

"I believe that the imperial court will soon have a will to summon the marshal back to Chang'an!" Liu Renliang sighed and said, such a young and powerful commander, and such a bold and enterprising commander, it is estimated that Chang'an will definitely not let him stay in Haidong for a long time.

"Actually, I'd rather stay for a few more years, I didn't want to come before I came, but now I don't want to leave for the time being." Li Xiao shook his head and smiled.

"Dashuai has made such a great achievement, if you don't want to go, you have to go." Liu Ren's track, it is certain that he has made great achievements and will be rewarded, but on the other hand, the imperial court will not let people with such skills stay on the border for a long time, otherwise it may be easy to support the army and have self-reliance after a long time. "With the merits of the marshal in Haidong, it is certain that he will be crowned a duke after returning to the dynasty."

Feng Gong is certain, as for whether it is a county prince or a county duke, it is not easy to say, and the possibility of Feng Guogong is not very large, after all, Li Xiao is still so young.

In this battle, almost all the more than 1,000 warships prepared by the Japanese state for several years were destroyed, and only 10,000 remnants of the 60,000 Japanese troops fled back to the southern coast of Silla, and the rest were either killed or captured.

Seeing that the general situation had gone, several Japanese generals fled west in boats, but Abehirov was unwilling to fail, and in the end he led the ship to charge the Tang army battle formation, but in the end the ship was sunk, and even the people were injured and captured.

The Japanese army that fled back from the defeat of his brother Shanjiang made the remaining Japanese army lose heart, and the Japanese army with no fighting spirit began to take the initiative to assemble, and then retreated to the Japanese state.

Zhao Zhiman and Wang Fangyi, two generals, advanced by land and water, and followed the footsteps of the Japanese all the way, but they strictly abided by Li Xiao's general orders and did not attack the Japanese army again.

The so-called battle of trapped beasts is very fierce, and since the Japanese people are willing to retreat, Li Xiao is not willing to fight them uselessly.

Although the Tang army is victorious now, after all, this is only a partial division of Anton.

The Japanese army lost nearly 50,000 men at Gesangang, but still had a total of 50,000 troops in Silla.

They were just frightened and fled back to the Japanese kingdom, and Li Xiaole easily took over the city vacated by the Japanese after they fled.

Many of the Japanese even fled in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to take away a lot of money, silk, and grain that they looted, and many of them didn't even have time to burn, and they were all hoarded there, all of which were cheapened by the Tang Army.

The second year of Xianqing, New Year's Day.

Li Xiao spent time in Jincheng, and he has now officially moved his Jilin Road Marching Governor's Mansion to Jincheng.

The puppet King of Silla, Kim Jung-moon, took the initiative to remove the title of King of Silla and only managed Silla in the name of the Metropolitan Governor of the Metropolitan Government of Jirim Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Fangyi, Zhao Zhiman, Liu Jun, Xue Chuyu, Cheng Boxian, Liu Renliang and a large number of Andong generals swept across Silla like autumn wind sweeping away leaves a year ago, and quickly took over one city after another.

By the time the New Year's bell rang, the old land of Silla had completely become a part of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
