Ambush in land warfare is a very common and very easy means to implement. But it is very difficult to ambush the enemy in a naval battle.

Especially in ancient times.

There is nothing to cover above the sea, and if you want to ambush you, there is only one way to choose - calculate the time, suddenly come from a certain direction, and meet the enemy at a predetermined location.

But the problem is that in ancient times, there were neither satellites nor sophisticated timekeeping instruments, and it was too difficult to achieve such a proper ambush.

But it's hard to return, and it's really possible to achieve it, such as today.

Obviously, Baekje and Fusang had a long connection, first the 50,000 navy of Fusang lured the enemy in front, and then the Baekje navy suddenly arrived, preparing to completely destroy the 20,000 navy of Fuyeo.

Again, naval battles are much less suspenseful than land battles. If in the past, the bearded man could still make up for the gap between the two sides with his excellent command ability, then now, with the sudden arrival of the Baekje navy, he is powerless.

The current situation is like thinking that His Majesty Li Er was trapped in Liaodong City, and in a short period of time, the situation has changed abruptly. Besieging the enemy turned into being attacked on both sides by the enemy on the belly and back.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, the enemy's encirclement has not yet been formed.

It seems that the best way now is to quickly withdraw the whole army from the battle and flee. But the consequences of that are not optimistic.

The Fuso Navy has long had the upper hand, can you escape if you want to?

Guo Ye estimated that the best result would be to lose half of the ships and troops. If you're a little less lucky, you'll have to be wiped out.

Why is it all death, do you want to fight? If his letters work, it seems that there is no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye said: "I thought that I couldn't retreat now!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Actually, the collusion between Baekje and Fuso, we didn't expect it. In addition, there is no need to scold Fusang and Baekje for being despicable, and we don't have any good intentions. Didn't I write to contact the Silla Navy the other day? ”

"And this?" In an instant, the eyes of all the generals on the flagship lit up.

Xu Fengnian, the left minister, frowned and said, "How do I know about this?" ”

The bearded guest said: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, in fact, no one knows about this matter except Guo Xiaozi and this king." ”

Li Yichang, the right minister, said: "The ancients said, if the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, and if he is not secret, he will be lost. body, a few things are not secret, it will be harmful. It is a gentleman's prudence and not out. This matter is very important, and the secrecy of the state is also a move by the old Cheng to seek the country, so Lord Xu should not take it to heart. ”

Wang Bodang said: "It's nothing to hide from us, the key is where are the reinforcements from Silla?" ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Silla promised to help, but things were too hasty. They have to gather troops and raise grain and grass, and no one can say whether they will be able to arrive in time. ”

"And you're still letting us sit and wait?"

"If you don't sit still, do you think we can still escape? Besides, the hole cards in my hand are not only the hand of Silla reinforcements. ”

"Oh? Listen to you, there are additional reinforcements? ”

"It's not reinforcements, I can't say what they are. To be honest, I'm not sure if it will work, but there's always hope. ”

Xu Fengnian knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Qi, Qin Guogong's opinion, I dare not agree. Silla reinforcements may not be able to arrive in time, and as for his so-called other hole card, it is also vague, and I am afraid there is little hope. For the sake of safety, I think it is better to withdraw troops! ”

The bearded guest frowned and said, "Qin Guogong, the old man's capital is almost all here. How sure are you? ”

Guo Ye stretched out five fingers and said, "Five-five!" How to decide, please ask the lord of the country to think for himself, Guo someone did not dare to beak. But ......"

"How?"

"I want to remind you, even if we can escape, when we get to Zhangjia Island, what are the chances of winning against the nearly 100,000 allied forces of Fusang and Baekje?"

"This ......" the bearded guest gritted his teeth and said, "Good! Five-five, I bet! ”

Xu Fengnian said: "Please think twice!" ”

"Brother Xu doesn't need to say much! The old man has figured it out, and now there is still hope for victory in a gamble. If you don't gamble, you can only be cut with a blunt knife, and slowly bleed to death. ”

Then, he held the general order in his hand and said, "Wang Bodang! ”

"The last general!"

"King Lone ordered you to take your own soldiers and horses, set fire to the northwest direction, and burn his mother for me!"

"Yes!"

Wang Bodang quickly stepped off the flagship, and after a while, in the northwest direction, the soldiers of the Fuyu Kingdom ignited the rocket wrapped in oilcloth.

"Put!"

At the sound of an order, ten thousand arrows were fired, dozens of Fuso warships were ignited, and thick smoke rose up!

……

……

Baekje flagship.

The commander of the expeditionary force, Sha Zhai Qixian, saw the smoke billowing in the distance, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and said, "Master, look! Look! ”

The master in the mouth of the sand house beggar is the wild Taoist priest of Chang'an City, the national teacher of Baekje, the cheap old man of Sun Zishan, the secret spy sent by Guo Ye to Baekje, and the monk who quits sex!

Among the several letters sent by Guo Ye, one was sent to him, strictly ordering him to find out whether Fusang had colluded with Baekje and sent troops together.

If not, that's certainly the best. If this happens, it will be necessary to do everything in its power to damage the relationship between the two countries and bring Baekje out of the fighting.

His daughter is the wife of Guo Ye's apprentice, for the happiness of his daughter, even if this task is difficult and dangerous, the monk can only fight for his life.

In the end, the sky lived up to his wishes, and he really found out.

There is really a joint military dispatch between Baekje and Fuso. As for the person who led the troops, it was the brother-in-law of King Muo of Baekje, the younger brother of Queen Sha Zhai, and the beggar of Sha Zhai!

After hearing the news, the monk couldn't help but chant Amitabha Buddha a few times.

To put it bluntly, he was just a courtier in Baekje, and it was difficult for him to influence the country's plans. If it was someone else who led the troops, he really couldn't do anything, but this uncle of the Sha Zhai country was different.

This person is from a family and has no knowledge of soldiers. That is, the queen of the sand house saw that this trip was going to win, so she instigated Yu Zhang and let her younger brother brush up the battle record.

In addition, this person also has a characteristic that makes the monk who has quit sex very satisfied. This characteristic is that the sand house beggars are very superstitious, and really believe that they have the power of the national teacher.

I don't know that the soldier is not very good at using his brain, so he is just fooling.

Therefore, the monk immediately approached him and persuaded Uncle Guo to bring himself with him when he went out on the expedition, so that he could pray for the blessing of the army.

For this request, of course, Sha Zhai Qixian agreed without a mouth.

However, after going to sea, the behavior of the monks who abstained from sex was not compatible with praying for blessings. He secretly pulled the sand house beggar god aside, saying that he had received a hint from the Buddha that this battle would be lost, and if he wanted to survive, he must quickly retreat.

Uncle Sha Zhai is just incompetent, and he is not really stupid, so of course he will not fully believe it. Just be skeptical and ready to act at the opportunistic level.

As for the monk who quits sex, he also knows that this matter is urgent, so he can only keep knocking on the side.

When he saw the black clouds drifting by, he said that it was bad luck. When he saw the white clouds coming, he said that white was unlucky! Even when you see a row of seabirds flying in, they say that the cry is terrible and there is a bad omen!

After a few days of walking down by sea, the sand house beggar was so scared that his liver trembled. At this time, I saw the smoke billowing in the distance, which suddenly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The monk who quit sex can be caught now, and said: "What am I talking about, fierce!" Big murderer! This battle is bound to be lost. ”

"But...... Now it seems that the Fuyu Kingdom has surrounded the Fuso army, and it has not attacked yet, but only burned a small number of ships. Let's go up, the inside should be together, is there still a chance? ”

"Uncle Guo, why are you so confused! Why didn't the Fuyu country quickly destroy the army of Fuso? This is going to tempt us to take the bait. If you are unwilling and really go forward to fight, then it is really too late to regret it! ”

"You mean to say that the Fuyu Kingdom did not destroy the Fuso Navy on purpose?"

"Exactly."

"But ......," Sha Zhai begged for the sake of thought, "after all, this is just our speculation, if we withdraw from the army, then Fusang's army will really be finished." When the time comes, the Fuso people will sue for a trick. My brother-in-law is to blame, so what's the matter? ”

"It's simple, don't tell the truth."

"How do you say that?"

"You just said that you saw that the Fusang Navy had been almost burned to the ground, and it was useless to save it, wouldn't it be useless?"

"Can my brother-in-law believe it?"

"Why don't you believe it? No matter how close the Fuso people are, can they be close to your sister? ”

"That's right. But ......"

"No, though. Uncle Guo, you think, this time the Fuso Navy is completely gone, but Baekje is retreating. Although the Fuso people can say that you missed the fighter, we can still say that we saw the opportunity and did not preserve our strength. If this kind of pen and ink lawsuit is fought, I am afraid that even Emperor Fuso will have a headache. ”

"So, it's only natural for us to withdraw from the army?"

"That's nature."

"My brother-in-law won't blame?"

"Of course not."

"Fusang people can only suffer this dumb loss?"

"It must be so!"

"Good!" The sand house beggar slapped his thigh and said, "The whole army is back!" ”
