PS: I checked the information and found that the head of the Japanese order system in the Asuka era had the title of Quan Shou, the National Division, and the National Defense, which was confusing, and simply called the National Division.

The Nanyang War was coming to an end, and the good news was still on the way north, but the war situation of the Japanese Kingdom had entered a climax stage.

Twenty-five thousand soldiers of the Xenema infantry army entered the Seto Inland Sea and advanced eastward on 180 warships of the Yellow Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet. Along the way, they easily captured the unguarded islands of Yashiro and Nakajima, the archipelago in the Kurushima Strait, and Shodoshima, which controlled the Seto Inland Sea Route, and reached Awaji Island, the gateway to the Osaka Plain, where the Kyoto of the Wakoku was located.

Awaji Province is a small reiki country that only governs Awaji Island, with a population of less than 1,000 soldiers.

When Awaji Kuniji learned that the Tang army had conquered Shodoshima, more than 80 miles away, he urgently asked for help from the people of the sea in Kyoto, and asked for more troops to Awaji Province to prepare for the landing of the Tang army.

The people of the sea are already anxious at the moment, and the old-fashioned forces in the western part of the country have taken advantage of the Tang army's attack to rise up one after another to cooperate with the Tang army's attack, and more than 40,000 elite soldiers and horses are trapped in An Yun and cannot move. The Goki region, where Kyoto is located, was faced with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from the three kingdoms of Tango, Wakasa, and Kaga, which had rebelled from the north, and at this moment the Omi Kuniji Office, which was the last barrier to the north of Goki, was besieged with troops.

The eastern states, which were originally the rear of the Japanese kingdom and the base camp of the reformers, faced the threat of landing of the Tang army entrenched on Sado Island, and had a previous defeat. Although the Tang army's attempt to land was defeated, it could not be taken lightly, and nearly 20,000 troops were still maintained in the territory of Echigo, relying on the defense of the water city.

The deterioration of the war situation in the western countries forced the people of the sea to requisition 30,000 troops from the eastern countries again, but now only 10,000 of the forwards arrived in Kyoto.

Faced with the request for help from Omi in the north and Awaji Kuniji in the south, the people of the sea had to divide the 10,000 reinforcements who arrived in Beijing into two routes, send 3,000 people north to relieve the siege of Omi, and 7,000 people to the south to strengthen the defense of Awaji Province. Compared with the rebels of Tango, Wakasa, and Kaga, who surrounded Omi, the Tang army, which was about to attack Awaji Province, was the enemy of life and death, which made the people of the sea determine the target of the Tang army's attack, and its intention was to take Kyoto by sea and take out the henchmen of the Wa Kingdom.

The gains and losses of Awaji Island were related to the survival of the Japanese Kingdom, and with the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Tang Army, the people of the sea did not have much confidence in whether the reinforcement of 7,000 troops on Awaji Island would be able to repel the attack of the Tang Army. To this end, he urgently ordered the Awa Kuniji, who was still loyal to him on the island of Shikoku, to send at least 3,000 troops to reinforce Awaji Province, and Sanuki Province and Iyo Province sent troops to recapture the islands in the Seto Inland Sea occupied by the Tang Army, and blocked the Tang Army's eastward advance by sea.

The Emperor's order reached Sanuki, Iyo, and Awa, and all three of them were in trouble. The Tosa Kingdom in the south of Shikoku Island rebelled and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and attacked the three countries, and the two sides fought several times on the border, mobilizing almost all the troops that could be used in the country under the Three Orders system, and how could there be extra troops and horses to attack the islands occupied by the Tang army.

It is said that the warships of the Tang Army appeared in the Seto Inland Sea and launched a series of military operations. However, the warships of the Tang Army were tall and sturdy, and the smallest warships carried thirty or forty soldiers, not to mention that most of the warships carried two or three hundred soldiers. The ship was also equipped with special naval weapons such as winch crossbows, fierce fire oil tanks, and shooting rods that frightened the Japanese army. Compared with the warships owned by the Three Orders system, it is like a child facing an adult, and it is completely a part of being hanged and beaten when it goes up.

Sanuki and Iyo refused to go to sea to attack the Tang army, citing a shortage of troops in the country due to the Tosa rebels. Awa Kuniji sent 1,000 men to support Awaji Island, and as for the emperor's order to send 3,000 troops, I am afraid that it will be enough to pull out all the old, young, sick and disabled men of Awa Province.

Just when the two Japanese reinforcements arrived on Awaji Island and it was not enough to strengthen the fortifications of the island's castle, not long after the capture of Shodoshima, Xue Ne, who commanded his soldiers to build a fortress on the island to strengthen the defense, learned of the news that the Japanese had increased their troops on Awaji Island, and immediately sent Khimitsu to lead the Dangdi army to land on the beach of Mihara County in the southwest of Awaji Island under the escort of 70 warships of the East China Sea Fleet.

Ono Tokihiro, the leading general sent by the people of the sea to reinforce Awaji Province, took over the command of the island's army, knowing that Yura Castle, the seat of Awaji National Administration, was surrounded by a small stream and surrounded by a tight fence, and the straw-covered walls on it could not stop the Tang army's attack at all, and the Tang army could make Yura Castle unattack with a single rocket.

Fortunately, the Tang army landed only about 3,000 people, and the defenders on the island had more than 8,000 people, and they still had the strength to fight.

Ono Shiguang's entire army was dispatched to set up a position outside Yura Castle and decided to fight the Tang army in the field. The Khi Light led the army to fight, and did not take twice the Japanese army in his eyes at all.

When the two armies were two hundred and thirty paces apart, Qi Biguang ordered the charging Japanese soldiers who were killed by a salvo of bows and crossbows to turn over on their backs, and then assaulted the middle of the Japanese army with 300 elite cavalry of the Dangdi army. The Japanese army, which only had high-ranking generals and horses, was suddenly scattered by the Tang cavalry, and the Tang army's infantry also joined the battlefield with the cavalry.

Ono saw that the battle situation was unfavorable and ordered a retreat to save the soldiers and horses.

Chi Mitsu rode his horse and the horse lance stabbed, and Ono Shihiro dodged the fatal blow, but was still knocked off the horse by Che Mitsu's lance.

Qi Miguang was about to assassinate Ono Shiguang who was slapping on the ground, but he pulled the guards next to him to block a spear for him, took the opportunity to escape, snatched his subordinates' war horses and fled the battlefield in embarrassment.

The warring Japanese army learned of the retreat order, and saw the commander fleeing in panic, the whole army suddenly had no fighting spirit and all broke up, and was covered by the Tang army for more than 20 miles, taking advantage of the victory to capture Youliang City, which had no troops to defend.

Ono Tokihiro fled to the northern castle of Tsuna-gun, on the north side of Awaji Island, and gathered more than 4,000 soldiers.

The two armies fought again, the Japanese army was defeated again, and more than 3,000 were beheaded, and Ono Tokihiro only had more than 100 remnants left to grab the ship and escape from Awaji Island.

The Akashi Strait to the north, the Naruto Strait to the southwest, and the Kitam Strait to the east are the main points of communication between the Wakoku Kinai, Chugoku, and Shikoku, and the sea traffic is frequent, and the material transportation between several islands generally passes through Awaji Island fell into the hands of the Tang Army.

From then on, Xue Ne completely controlled all the important transportation points in the Seto Inland Sea, relying on nearly 200 warships of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea Fleet to suppress the Japanese naval divisions from leaving the port. The control of the Seto Inland Sea was completely in the hands of the Tang army, and the connection between the islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu was completely severed.

The Wugi region, the core of the Wa Kingdom, was under the advance of the Tang Army.

……

Lee Yu spent more than a month in the palace built for him by the Queen of Busan Silla.

In the past month or so, Li Yu has to work the belly of Kim Jong-ah, the queen of Silla, every two or three days.

It wasn't until yesterday that the doctor took Kim Jong-ah's pulse and determined that she was pregnant, and Li Yu let her go.

Li Yu summoned the accompanying officers and generals in the palace refreshed, and asked if there was any good news about the war in the Japanese Kingdom.

"Your Highness, the good news I just got this morning is that Li Shangdan defeated more than 40,000 Japanese troops at the Ota River in Anyun Kingdom, beheaded more than 20,000 people, and captured more than 8,000 people. And with Anyun, Bizen, Bizhong, Bihou and other countries raised troops to rebel against the old army of the Japanese court, more than 23,000 soldiers. With the help of these surrendered troops, Li Shangdan took only ten days to control the four countries of Anyun, Bizen, Bizhong, and Bihou, and surrendered to the United States, and now he is advancing into the Harima country with troops. The allied forces of Izumo, Hakuki, and Inaba, who surrendered, also defeated the combined forces of Tajima and Tanba on the Yatagawa River in Tajima Province and took control of the ...... of Tajima Province."
