Chapter 596: The Power of Blowing

After a few days at sea, the sailors finally came to the mouth of the Han River.

"Boss, where do we start fighting?" Liu Renliang, who finally saw the land, asked excitedly.

Thinking that this is a battle to destroy the country, Liu Renliang, Liu Renyuan is excited about the two commanders of the water division.

"I think let's start with Qianpu first. It was the first city after entering the Han River." Liu Ren is willing to express his opinion.

"No, don't rush into the Han River, first send troops to clean up the islands at the mouth of the river, I don't want to see us being blocked by the enemy from behind after entering the Han River." Wu Yuanqing pointed to the land he saw in his sight and said.

"Boss, don't worry, there can't be many people on that island, at most some fishermen will go up." Liu Renliang said unwillingly.

He didn't want to waste his first battle on some fishermen.

"Nonsense, it's because it's a fisherman who has to clean it up first, what are we, we are sailors, for people on land, we who stand on the boat are beyond their reach, but the fishermen are different, although they really don't threaten us, but they can always run on the water, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, be careful, first kill all the people who can go into the water, and then the enemy on the shore is not how we want to fight." Wu Yuanqing said angrily.

Of course, he knew that there would be no inhabitants on the island, let alone the small country of Baekje, and there were basically no people living on the islands around Datang, who would be willing to give up the bustling land and run to the isolated island, that is, the fishermen who were fishing would stop when they went out to sea and stay.

But you can't ignore it because of this, because Baekje is not a strong country on land, and he is inferior to Silla alone, but Baekje is still very powerful at sea, and Baekje not only has frequent exchanges with the Wa Kingdom by sea, but also has a lot of exchanges between the Yellow Sea and the Tang Dynasty, especially the non-governmental business exchanges, and when they set off from Laiju and Wendeng, they also encountered a lot of merchant ships from Baekje arriving and leaving.

However, these ships were all seized at the time of the sailor's departure, and several waves of merchant ships were encountered at sea, and they were either sunk or trapped by the captives and thrown into the hold of the ship.

Based on the fact that Baekje's navigation is relatively strong, Wu Yuanqing felt that the best way to rest assured and not be harassed by small fish and shrimp was to destroy all the ships he encountered first.

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded." Liu Renliang had no choice but to carry out the order.

Each island can send a ship to deal with it, and it doesn't take many people, although Wu Yuanqing ordered to clean up the people on the island, but Liu Renliang felt that it was too troublesome, and he only needed to go around the island and destroy all the ships he saw to achieve his goal, because without the ships, the people on the island didn't understand what the situation was, and they had absolutely no way and would not leave the island.

The Baekje people never thought that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to themselves, because they felt that even if the Tang Dynasty wanted to send troops, it should be their turn to destroy Goguryeo first.

But the Tang army appeared in Baekje and appeared in the Han River in such an unreasonable way.

When the Tang army appeared outside Qianpu City like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and a round of artillery fire was smashing down, the Baekje people living around the city still did not understand what was happening, and the soldiers defending the city still looked at the sails of the Han River and rubbed their eyes and suspected that they were dreaming.

Qianpu is not big, the Tang army came unexpectedly, under the artillery attack that has never been seen like heavenly punishment, the defenders in the city are completely confused, they don't think of defending the city at all, they all run in a panic to avoid the shells falling from the sky, even if the houses are smashed and collapsed, they can't scare the Baekje defenders who drill into the house like flies.

The people ran away in a panic, and none of them dared to enter the city, and then the 1,000 soldiers who landed in the Tang Dynasty entered and occupied Qianpu City, where the city gate was open, without much effort.

This time, Wu Yuanqing wanted to unite with Silla to destroy Baekje as quickly as possible instead of occupying it, so although he occupied the city, the sailors were still on the ship except for the landing of 1,000 people.

The 1,000 soldiers who landed did not stop at Qianpo for long, and after the buildings in the city were set on fire, the 1,000 soldiers drove the people of Baekje, who fled first, to the next city.

The speed of walking on land is no faster than that of ships on the water, so every time you pass a city near the river, it is covered by a round of artillery, and then send some soldiers to land and occupy it, and then continue to the next point after pointing.

When Wu Yuanqing easily fought all the way to Yisheng County, which was close to Hanyang City, the Baekje defenders in Hanyang City did not know that Datang had already attacked.

Not long ago, Silla received a notice from the Tang Dynasty that it had begun a full-scale counterattack against Baekje, and there was not much loyalty to Baekje along the Han River, which was originally occupied by Baekje, and the key point was that there were originally many Baekje soldiers stationed in these cities, and with the tightening of the eastern front, Baekje took away a lot of troops.

As a result, there is not much ability to resist external attacks along the Han River, and the surrounding people do not have a strong sense of belonging to Baekje, so naturally they do not try their best to help resist them.

As a result, the Tang army was completely pushed over, and when they saw that the Tang army did not kill people indiscriminately, they only burned the city, and the residential houses outside the city were not destroyed by the Tang army, which made these people who were still people under Silla a few years ago still have a lot of gratitude to the Tang army.

Even some people who missed the king of Silla cheered for the Tang Dynasty, because they felt that the Tang Dynasty's attack on Baekje must be supporting Silla, and they would definitely become Silla people again in the future.

Well, very silly and naïve.

It may have been possible before, but now the Tang Emperor's goal is not only Baekje and Goguryeo, but also Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla still want to live alone and daydream about the blue sky. Not to mention that it was Wu Yuanqing who led the troops, Wu Yuanqing has never had a good impression of the stick, and he will not have a good impression of the ancestor of the stick.

In less than ten days, all along the Han River have been captured, and the political center of Baekje is in Sihyeonseong, which is the capital of Baekje, and the new succession is still waiting for the Tang Dynasty.

It's really a bolt from the blue for Yi Ci. It was only then that he understood why Silla had the courage to use all the last bit of strength to counterattack.

It turned out that reinforcements were coming.

And just when the king of Baekje, Yici, was in a panic and sent troops to prepare to deal with the Tang army, Wu Yuanqing had already left a small number of ships and 10,000 soldiers to Liu Renyuan, and asked him to take these people to continue the sweep and attack from the land to the south.

Wu Yuanqing, on the other hand, left the Han River with the rest of the soldiers and ships, and joined the ships of Chi Baolin's fleet at sea and began to march south, towards the mouth of the Xiongjin River.

The target is Sihyeongseong, the capital of Baekje.
