Chapter 293: The First Battle of the Navy
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay!" Come and break their tendons; Let them go! "The Turks changed color abruptly, and were just about to struggle; was rushed up by the Tang army and fell to the ground at once, followed by a scream. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Shimin turned his head to Cheng Zhijie and said, "Demon King, the enemy has been dealt with, let's continue to negotiate!" Cheng Zhijie nodded, and everyone walked out of Jing Zhaoyin's prison, and then went back to prepare for the follow-up negotiations.
The story of the matter was quickly asked clearly, it turned out that after Lao Cheng and they ran away, Jieli became more and more uneasy, and he was afraid that Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou would not be able to keep them, so he arranged some detailed work to go to the Central Plains to inquire about the news. These people came to the Central Plains, and sure enough, they found that Cheng Zhijie had been let go; They have been secretly following to Chang'an.
In Chang'an, they found out Cheng Zhijie's true identity, and they wanted to go back to report back to the Great Khan; Unexpectedly, I ran into Zhang Heng, who was ordered by Li Mi to go to the Turks to ask for assistance.
At this time, Zhang Heng had already united with Yao Siqian to prepare to assassinate Cheng Zhijie, and they hit it off; But in the end, it was all designed by Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie.
When these cripples returned to the grassland, they told Jieli that Jieli only smashed the cup, vowed to hoard grain and grass, and then send troops to crusade against the Great Demon Kingdom.
Just when Jieli was angry, there was another good news that Kedun, who had just had a miscarriage a few months ago, was pregnant again. This not only made Jieli overjoyed, but Ke Dun came to the grassland for more than ten years and had no children, but he didn't expect to marry himself but became pregnant twice.
It seems that his luck and the joy of Xiao Biesheng's newlywed are still very effective. This time, in order to prevent further accidents, Jieli took strict protective measures against Kedun. Princess Yicheng also cares about this child very much, and she is careful in her every move, for fear of a little accident.
After 3 days of negotiations, Datang and the Great Demon Kingdom finally reached a mutual assistance agreement and officially formed an alliance. Cheng Zhijie is about to say goodbye to Li Shimin; Li Shimin stayed for two days, and he also knew that he was busy with official business; He told Li Yuan and then arranged a banquet to see them off.
Cheng Zhijie led people out of Chang'an, this time there were more than 300 people in Chang'an, and when they left, there were more teenagers in the team, who were sent by Li Shimin to the Great Demon Kingdom for exchange and study.
Cheng Zhijie and others went all the way to the east, because of the war in the Central Plains, they were ready to take a boat from Fenglingdu back to Shandong again, and when they arrived here, they found that the originally prosperous Fenglingdu had been desolate and uninhabited.
Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue had been waiting here for a long time, and they almost cried when they saw Cheng Zhijie one by one. Cheng Zhijie stepped forward and patted them on the shoulder, but he was also speechless, and he suddenly saw a tall and thin man standing behind him, wasn't it Luo Shixin?
"Why is Shixin here?" Cheng Zhijie asked in surprise, and Luo Shixin told the story of the defeat of Li Jing and others, and finally said that he was ordered by the military advisor to escort some captives and displaced people back to Shandong; I heard that Cheng Zhijie was back, and I also took a boat to greet him.
Cheng Zhijie was overjoyed when he heard this, and spread the good news to everyone, and everyone was also cheering; After everyone had fun, the army got on the ship and set off straight for Shandong.
Cheng Zhijie found that all the people who went out to greet him this time were small boats, and many of them were almost eliminated Goguryeo warships, so he asked in surprise: "Star, what happened to your navy?" The warships were so nervous that even these training ships were sent. ”
Lu Xingxing smiled: "I was about to report to the Demon King Chitose; You didn't have long to go. Goguryeo still did not give up and united with Baekje and Wa to launch an attack on our Xiongjin.
This time, we have enough soldiers and food, and Generalissimo Qin Qiong is in Pyongyang; So he mobilized Ma Wenju from Anshi City and Zhang Shigui from Pyongyang to come to Xiongjin's aid; We have 50,000 men here at once, which is not inferior to the combined forces of Goguryeo and Baekje. We also united with King Jinpyeong of Silla and asked them to send troops to attack Goguryeo. ”
Cheng Zhijie was stunned and said, "What is the result?" Roh Sung-sung laughed and said, "Of course, we won a great victory, and we cooperated with the army to go up the mountain to form a fierce battle with the combined forces of Goguryeo and Baekje.
The follow-up fleet of our army coincided with the high tide, and the steady stream arrived, and the sails covered the sea for a while, which was extremely spectacular. In addition, our army was brave, under the leadership of Qin Dashuai, General Zhang, General Ma, General Lai and others, galloping across the country; The enemy army could not resist at all, and was quickly routed, with thousands of dead and wounded. We successfully dispersed the invading enemy troops, and Kumazu was impregnable.
However, Silla's progress was not ideal, and they encountered resistance from the famous Baekje general Jiebo, and in the end they won a disastrous victory of 50,000 to 5,000, and only after we arrived, did they get out of the quagmire of war and attack Hanyang with us. The enemy once again gathered a large army and fought a decisive battle with us 20 miles outside of Hanyang.
As a result, we passed a rain of arrows, and the army immediately attacked and killed more than 10,000 enemies in all directions, and the enemy retreated to Hanyang City and never dared to come out again.
Originally, we wanted to break through the capital of Goguryeo, but General Ma Wenju thought that in order to destroy Goguryeo, we must first punish Baekje, leave troops to defend it, and control its henchmen. Moreover, the Silla people are very ambitious, and we can't fight to the death with the enemy, so that they can reap the benefits of the fishermen. Therefore, our army did not attack Hanyang, but let the naval army kill Baekje directly. ”
Cheng Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Very good, I really didn't read the wrong article, and finally there is still one who understands!" You're right, we can't make a wedding dress for Silla in vain. And then? It's time to talk about your navy. ”
Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue smiled and said, "Speaking of our battle, it's a bit of a bully. This time, we had Zhang Dashuai leading the team, and a total of 120 warships were dispatched, and 13,000 sailors wanted to capture the fortress of Baekje and open the passage for the subsequent landing of the army.
It also happened that Baekje was bringing a reinforcement from the Wa Kingdom, and it also arrived in Zhouliu; They had more than 1,000 warships and more than 40,000 men, and they met us unexpectedly at the mouth of the Baijiang River.
After the enemy passed through a single formation, he took the lead in rushing to our naval array. However, he did not look at the fact that our warships were all huge ships, which were large and strong for defense, while the Japanese warships were mostly small sampans, and the small and weak ships were not conducive to attacking fortified positions.
Zhang Dashuai ordered us to divide into two ways to surround the enemy, and the enemy's small warships were squeezed into a ball by us, and there was no room to maneuver. Then, as soon as the warships of the two sides came into contact, the Japanese and Baekje naval forces immediately had the upper hand.
Under the orders of the commander, the Japanese and Baekje naval forces hurriedly withdrew their warships and regrouped to continue the confrontation with our naval forces.
At this time, it was getting late, and Zhang Dashuai ordered us not to take advantage of the victory, but to immediately regroup the water array and hold on.
After a night of regrouping, the naval armies of the two sides continued to fight fiercely. The commanders of the Japanese and Baekje naval forces summed up the reasons for the defeat and retreat the previous day, and believed that "we are the first, and they should retreat by themselves." As a result, the commanders of the Japanese and Baekje naval forces each led a group of warships and rushed to our naval forces in no order.
The Japanese and Baekje naval forces first attacked the giant ships of our naval army, intending to divide our naval army into two parts from the Chinese army as the breakthrough point, and besiege them separately, and then annihilate them.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Dashuai and others ordered the navy to feint from the Chinese army and lure the Japanese and Baekje naval forces into the naval array.
After the Japanese and Baekje naval forces fully entered, our naval forces were surrounded from the left and right, and the Japanese and Baekje naval forces were completely besieged in the water array. At this time, the water war between the two sides has entered a stalemate.
At this point, our navy relied on the high and thick ships to fire crossbow arrows and thunderbolts from top to bottom, and the Japanese and Baekje sailors were burned one after another because of the small size of the ship, and the sailors abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea, and then were hit by arrows in the sea, and suddenly the blood overflowed, and the sea water was red.
Seeing this situation, the commander of the Japanese and Baekje naval forces ordered rockets to be fired at our naval vessels, but our naval vessels were tall and thick, and the defensive measures were complete, although one fire could be extinguished immediately.
Seeing that the launch of the rocket had no effect, the Japanese and Baekje sailors panicked. Some ships collided with our naval giants without knowing the direction, and the result was like an egg hitting a stone, which sank instantly, and the sergeants were killed and wounded countless times; Some of the ships fled in a hurry, and in the smoke, they collided with their own ships and sank, and the sergeants were killed and wounded.
The commander of the Wa and Baekje naval forces, Pak Shitian Raejin, swore to the sky, gritted his teeth and scolded, killed dozens of people, and finally died in battle. Subsequently, the Japanese and Baekje naval forces were completely wiped out, and more than 40,000 people were spared. Seeing this situation, the king of Baekje, Buyeo Zhang, who had been stationed on the shore, immediately fled in a small boat and went to Goguryeo.
Our narrow victory broke through Zhouliu in one fell swoop, and all the nearby prefectures and counties surrendered. Now it has been transferred to General Ma Wenju. Zhang Dashuai knew that the Wa State dared to help Baekje send troops, so he mobilized a large army and went straight to the Wa State. We were supposed to come back to replenish supplies, but we were arrested by Master Du. ”
Cheng Zhijie said coldly: "The Wa Kingdom is not able to do its best, so let's put the matter of Goguryeo aside, let Silla and Baekje spend a period of time first, we have the right to attack the Wa State, and we must completely occupy them."
I heard that the Wa Kingdom was still in a state of wilderness, and did not even have its own writing, so I recruited some old scholars from all over the country who had nothing to do all day long. Didn't they always want to educate the aliens inside and outside? I give them this opportunity to give full play to their strengths, to educate these Japanese people, and to teach them what courtesy, righteousness, and honesty are. ”
Lu Xingxing said: "Demon King, for the sake of a barbarian land that hangs overseas alone, is it too trivial to make such a big move." ”
Cheng Zhijie waved his hand and said: "No, it's not a big fuss at all, as long as you successfully take the Wa Kingdom, you will lose Liaodong and Shandong, and it will not be a big fuss." This time, when you go back, you go to the eldest brother and make it clear to him, so that he can take charge of this matter; Don't worry about the affairs of the Central Plains. I don't care what means he uses or what resources he needs, as long as the Japanese state disappears from now on, there will only be Han Chinese, and there will be no Japanese people in the future. ”
