Chapter 395: The Wind Is Roaring
"Dashuai, the ship is about to dock."
In the shaking cabin, Zhang Cong gently woke up Li Xiao.
"Where?"
"In front of us is Karatsu Port, and we will dock immediately. Before Zhao Ya, they are all ready to land! ”
Dangjin Port, later known as Pyeongtaek, was built as early as the Samhan period, and was first called the Wondabu. The mountains and forests and fields are vast, the coastline is long, and the water and land transportation is convenient.
It is also the closest port to the Chishan Port in Datang Dengzhou.
Xue Rengui had withdrawn to Liaodong before, and it was here that he boarded the ship. After the Tang army conquered Baidu, it was renamed Tangjin.
When you arrive in Tangjin, it is only eighty miles by land from Jiuchi City.
Li Xiao rubbed his eyes, and on the way he took a nap and seized the time to rest in preparation for the upcoming battle.
"It's going well, isn't it?"
"Captain Wang led the way smoothly, arrived earlier than expected, it's still early in the day, if the journey goes well, we can just get to Jiuchi City before dark."
Li Xiao snorted and sat up.
He was still wearing armor on the ship, and he didn't leave his sword.
Out of the cabin, on the deck of the nine-headed Jiao battleship, Zhao Zhiman, Wang Fangyi and other generals were already there, all dressed neatly.
"Dashuai, there is good news, Tangjin City is still in our hands, and there are no rebels at present."
"That's good, enter the port and dock, send some men and horses to take over the defense of Tangjin City, and General Qin will be responsible for staying behind." Li Xiao named the name of the eldest brother, Qin Xiong.
"It's better for the big handsome to stay, I'll be there for a long time." Although Qin Xiong is old, he does not accept old age. In this crusade, he also made a lot of contributions, and now he is the assassin, but he is even more ambitious.
Wang Fangyi also proposed to let Li Xiao personally sit in Tangjin, but everyone didn't want Li Xiao to come, they all asked him to go back to Sibi City to sit in town, but Li Xiao had to come.
Now Li Xiao naturally won't stay in Tangjin.
"This is the commander's military order, General Qin led five hundred soldiers to guard Tangjin, and the rest of the people immediately got off the ship with me to reinforce for a long time."
The military order was like a mountain, and Qin Xiong didn't dare to say more.
When the ship docked, a group of men and horses came out of Tangjin City, led by several Tang people, who were military captains and were responsible for leading the Baekje soldiers here to defend Tangjin City.
They had also heard that the Baekje people were in rebellion, and the army was attacking for a long time, but they did not dare to come to the rescue because of the small number of soldiers.
"The Baekje rebels and the Japanese army had come to attack Tangjin before, and we waited desperately to hold on, but the Japanese saw that it was difficult to attack for a while, so they retreated and went around the city. Due to the small number of soldiers in the city, the last general and others did not dare to pursue, so please punish the commander. ”
Li Xiao patted the captain, "You did a good job, and it was a great achievement to defend Tangjin City." Now you continue to assist General Qin in defending the city! ”
When the boat docked, Li Xiao jumped off the boat, Zhang Cong brought his mount, and he mounted his horse to watch the soldiers who came down from the boat one after another.
A total of 6,000 soldiers, and 3,000 more to remain in Tangjin.
Five thousand five hundred people, this is all the troops that Li Xiao can use now.
And these five thousand five hundred, and half of the hundreds of people.
However, looking at the momentum of these soldiers, Li Xiao was quite satisfied.
Even those Baekje villagers are brave at this time, and they all have high fighting spirits. Before leaving, Li Xiao rewarded these people, each of whom was rewarded with ten acres of land, and even if they could not come back alive, these ten acres of land would be distributed to their wives and children as their eternal fields.
Li Xiao even announced that every Baekje rebel and Japanese killed on the battlefield would be rewarded with ten acres of land.
After returning from this battle, they will become real Tang people and enjoy the same treatment as the Tang people. One of the best treatments is Juntian, 20 acres of Yongye field per ding, 80 acres of land in the mouth, and the rent tax has also been changed to the same rent as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and one ding only needs to pay two stone of land rent every year, and some other mediocre adjustments.
As soon as this reward was announced, those Baekje villagers were all like they had been beaten with blood.
After all, when most of the villagers were recruited, they chose slaves and poor people, who used to be poor and had nothing, and although their lives are better now, they have not been able to own their own land after all. Owning a piece of land of one's own is a great temptation for people everywhere.
In order to be able to improve his combat effectiveness, Li Xiao also let go.
Not only was a heavy reward awarded, but before the expedition, the arsenal was also opened, and many weapons left by the sailors were issued to the villagers.
"The wind is roaring, the horses are barking, and the Yellow River is roaring! Sing it along! ”
A Tang leader walked in front of Baekje Heung Yong and led the singing loudly. The Baekje villagers in the back sang military songs in the Tang dialect, which was not yet standard.
"The wind is howling!"
"The horse is barking!"
"The Yellow River is roaring!"
·······
"Speed up, we must get to the city of Jiuchi before dark!"
There was probably more than an hour before dark, eighty miles away, and this was a very urgent task, and it was necessary to march forcefully.
"Dashuai, do you think the Goguryeo army will go south?" Wang Fangyi asked Li Xiao.
Riding on the horse, Li Xiao's brows furrowed, and he didn't dare to pack a ticket to say that the Goguryeo people would not go south. But now that the Goguryeo people have not gone south, there is a high probability that the Goguryeo people will not go south for the time being, and they are still waiting and seeing.
The main forces of the Tang Army finally withdrew and temporarily ceased troops. The Goguryeo people did not want to anger the Tang Dynasty anymore, but the Goguryeo people had always been unruly, and if they had the opportunity, they would definitely want to drive the Tang army away from Baekje.
Whether they directly sent troops to capture Baekje or helped the Baekje people restore their country, they were definitely more reluctant for the Tang army to stay on the peninsula permanently.
"The Goguryeo people may still be waiting, so we have to dispel their luck mentality. This battle must be fought, and it must be fought quickly, to hurt the Baekje rebels and the Japanese people. To let the Goguryeo people understand, even if Xue Shuai and they withdrew, I am not without people in the Tang Dynasty in Baekje. ”
"I see, Marshal, I'll lead the cavalry first." Wang Fangyi nodded.
"Be careful, don't fall for the rebels." Li Xiao reminded that there were more than 5,000 people under his command, and there were only 500 cavalry, which was the elite of the reinforcements.
"Don't worry, the Baekje rebels who can ambush me haven't been born yet."
········
Liu Boying was no longer able to fight, covered in blood, and couldn't even tell which of the blood on his body was his own and which was the enemy's.
Looking back, there were few soldiers standing behind him.
The Baekje men in the city are almost dying.
It was dark, and it was almost dark.
Liu Boying knew that as soon as it was dark, the city would be even more untenable.
Are you going to die here?
More than a dozen Tang soldiers surrounded him.
"General!"
Liu Boying laughed loudly, "The Baekje rebels of the dog day have been repelled by us again, brothers, you are all good, brother, I am sorry for you, I brought you here, but I can't take you back to the Central Plains." ”
A group of wounded soldiers laughed together, "Fuck it, kill so much, it's worth dying." ”
"It's worth it!"
