Seagulls circled and chirped.

In the twilight, the undulating coastline was already in front of us.

There were a lot of people on the deck, everyone looked at them excitedly and shouted, although Li Xiao kept patting his chest and saying that Lao Wang was experienced and he still had a magic weapon for sailing, but everyone was still a little apprehensive in their hearts, especially those men from Guanzhong, who fainted along the way.

I didn't expect to arrive at the Goguryeo coast so soon.

A Guanzhong swordsman mercenary with a scar on his face couldn't help but pat the side of the ship and sighed, "I remember that thirteen years ago, Lao Tzu followed His Majesty Emperor Taizong to conquer Liaodong, and was recruited as a volunteer in Chang'an. ”

Although it was not a three-month march and walk, it did take three months to travel from Chang'an to Liaodong, and nearly half of the time was spent on the march.

But now.

Last night, I slept drunk, and I got on the boat when it was already dawning, and I shook and shook and vomited and dizzy along the way, and people were still dizzy, but I heard about it.

I finally squeezed to this deck to take a look, but didn't it, the mountains and land in front of me were not land?

There are also doubts.

"So fast, it's not a dream."

As a result, he was immediately punched by a Xiangma mercenary from Shandong next to him, and he grinned in pain.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"You didn't mean dreaming, kid knows it's not a dream."

"Why is it so fast, I'm still dizzy, and I'm here?"

"No, this boat is running fast, and the wind is strong along the way, so it hasn't stopped."

I ran more than 300 miles in five hours, but in fact, I ran 60 or 70 miles in one hour, which is naturally much faster than marching on foot, but a fast light horse can also run 300 miles in a day and night.

"Could it be that we ran in the wrong direction and ran to the coast near Dengzhou again?" Questions were raised.

It's too fast, it's too fast to be true.

Lao Wang was furious when he heard this.

You can doubt my old king's other things, but you can't doubt my sailing skills, my old king is a person who was born on a sea ship and has drifted on the sea all his life.

"Damn, if you don't go to Goguryeo on the other side, your mother's son will find a Haipu boat to dock in a while, won't you know what is going on when you go up and take a look?"

Those sabre thieves were already suffocated in the cabin, and they were eager to go ashore to breathe, so they coaxed and talked together, and went up to take a look.

Some people were ashamed to say, "If we really get to the vicinity of Pyongyang, let's just take it by surprise, enter Pyongyang City, and capture Goguryeo King Gozang alive." ”

"There will definitely be a lot of gold and silver treasures in the royal palace of Pyongyang, and everyone will distribute them then."

"There must be a lot of beautiful women."

A group of guys were lewd there, and Li Xiao couldn't help but listen to it next to him.

At this time, Zhao Zhiman also woke up from the cabin.

"Why don't you find a place to land on the shore later, and we can go up and breathe?"

Li Xiao didn't look like he was joking?

"What are the plans of the second brother?"

"Since you're passing by, you can't really pass through the door and not enter. We are now at war with Goguryeo, and although the imperial court mainly uses troops in Baekje, the Goguryeo people are the enemy. We are definitely not surprised by the Goguryeo people, it is very close to Pyongyang, and there are many cities and towns in the nearby estuary, and the population is quite rich. You said that we had three big boats, with a total of 3,000 men, and that they would come suddenly, and ordinary villages and towns would never be able to stop them, even if they were small towns, and if we were caught off guard, we might be destroyed. ”

After all, Zhao Zhiman is a terrific general who once killed a tiger with his bare hands and can catch up with the enemy's cavalry general on both legs, and his courage is very great.

Those mercenaries were just concerned about lewdness, and he really had some plans.

For a long time, whether it was the Tang ships or the ships of Goguryeo or Baekje Silla Dongying, they all sailed along the coast, and although the Tang Dynasty was three or four hundred miles away from Goguryeo, it had to come from the north first.

Therefore, the coast of Goguryeo must also be staring at the Tang army sailors in the north, or now staring at the Tang army sailors on Baekje in the south, they would never have imagined that Li Xiao could come from the south or the north, but directly from the opposite side.

Militarily, this has the conditions for a surprise attack.

An excellent general, when he encounters a good opportunity, where is he willing to miss it.

Besides, as he said, they had three large ships, and there were about 3,000 people on board, including many mercenaries, and it was not a problem to gather a thousand arms.

A thousand soldiers attacked by surprise, and it was really no problem to attack the city.

"San Lang, why don't you give it a try, anyway, we are here in the East China Sea, and we don't plan to be idle?"

Isn't the purpose of forming a mercenary group to fish in troubled waters and catch slaves in the enemy's war zone?

Now that the great opportunity is in front of us, why should I let it go?

"Pyongyang is the capital of Goguryeo, but I am afraid that the surrounding defense is very strict." Li Xiaodao.

"San Lang is wrong, now Goguryeo's defense is concentrated in the north and south, one is in the defense line of Qianli Mountain City in Liaodong, focusing on the defense of more than 100,000 troops of my old general Cheng of the Tang Dynasty. Another heavy army was gathered in the south, not only to defend against the counterattack of the Sillas, but also to assist Baekje in preventing our Tang naval division from moving north, and there were indeed troops near Pyongyang, but there were not many of them. ”

Besides, Zhao Chiman didn't really plan to fight Pyongyang, but just planned to leave on the coast near Pyongyang.

"The boats are full." Li Xiao said again.

"This is not a problem, this is the coast, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find a boat? When the time comes, we will take his vote, grab some gold and silver treasures, load them on the ships we find nearby, and follow our fleet south. Anyway, from now on, you have to go south along the coastline, and you don't have to worry about the wind and waves in the deep sea. ”

Looking at Zhao Zhiman's eyes shining, Li Xiao knew that he had no reason to refuse.

Besides, this proposal is really exciting.

"Find a suitable target, surprise it, attack it unprepared, let's do his vote, accept it when it is good, and withdraw after the fight!"

"No problem." Zhao Zhiman swung his fist happily.

"Then I'll let Lao Wang find a suitable secret place to dock first." Li Xiaodao.

Zhao Zhiman nodded, "I'll personally pick a team of people to go ashore tonight, scout first, and find a suitable target." ”

After a brief discussion, Li Xiao and Zhao Zhiman made a bold decision to kill his mother, first find a hidden place to dock on the nearby coast, and then Zhao Zhiman led people to reconnoiter suitable targets for attack, first a city close to the coast, not big or small, preferably a town with no defense and relatively wealthy.

"After the ship docks, I will take the mercenaries ashore to rest first, and when you find a good target and come back, you will have the strength to work."

"Fuck it." Zhao Zhiman said excitedly.
