Chapter 199: The Mid-Autumn Festival is waiting for the tide to rise
In the wilderness, a few people next to the king and the Japanese slaves pressed the army of the people of Goryeo confronted each other, and in their ears were the pleading of Lee Eun-hee, the sobs of the people in the city of Tokyo, and the others of Yelu Ass and Han Derong, staring at the smug Koizumi with angry eyes,
The king saw a shocking sight, those innocent people, under the knife of the Japanese slave soldiers, two lives were lost in an instant, those were old people, women and children, his heart was pinched together, his horse's hooves of the dragon bird kicked and stomped on the ground, it seemed that the blood in front of him made this divine horse ready to rush forward at any time, the king's hand tightly grasped the reins, only by holding the reins tightly, can he hide his irrepressible anger,
Suddenly, Wang next to him laughed, everyone was stunned, and Koizumi's horse actually took a few steps back: "Wang next to you, what are you laughing at." Koizumi pointed to the king with his horsewhip and asked,
Wang Bei suppressed his smile and said, "Xiaoquan, are you right, I will give you rations." ”
Koizumi snorted coldly: "Didn't you keep saying to save the Koreans, did you see so many Koreans dying here." ”
"Bah, you are wrong, you remember to Lao Tzu, the reason why we came to Goryeo is to clean up you Japanese slaves, and the life or death of the Goryeo people has nothing to do with us." The king said these words in a loud voice,
Xiaoquan was also stunned when he heard Wang Bian say this, Li Enze lowered his head when he listened, he didn't expect Wang Bian to do such a desperate thing, and suddenly he raised his head: "I fought with him." "As he spoke, he was about to rush to Koizumi,
"Wait." Wang Bian said suddenly, everyone thought that Wang Bian had a change of heart, but unexpectedly, Wang Bian said coldly: "King Li Jun, it doesn't matter if you want to send you to death, you can go back when I return to the account, maybe you will pass, and the Japanese slaves will grab you with more bargaining chips for food." When Li Enze heard this, his heart was cold, but he had to obediently stay put.
Wang pointed to Li Enze and said to Xiaoquan: "Have you seen it, you know this person, at the New Year banquet of the Empress Dowager of Liao, the two of them have dealt with each other, you have to talk about the conditions, you talk to him, they have food in their hands, and they may be willing to change their people, but if you don't want to talk, you can kill this group of Koreans here, Lao Tzu's army has not killed people for a while, you kill all these Koreans, and we will avenge these people, you calculate how many of these people you brought today." ”
After Wang said speaking, he didn't look at Xiaoquan and Li Enze, Li Enze gritted his teeth and said to Xiaoquan: "Xiaoquan, did you hear it, I'll change it with you." ”
Xiao Quan listened and lowered his head to think about it, the toughness of Wang Bian's attitude was something he didn't expect at all, he saw that Li Enze was soft-hearted, and they couldn't take it out if they wanted more, but it was easy to talk about it: "Thirty stone grain for one person, one hand over to others and one hand to pay grain." ”
Li Enze looked at Wang Bian angrily, thinking that this Wang Bian was too cold-blooded, but now it is too late to replace someone and return to Jinzhou or Shangzhou temporarily: "Wang Shilang, can you borrow this from your army." ”
Wang Biyi shook his head when he heard this: "Bah, that's a year's ration for one person, look at these Koreans, which one can eat so much, we just don't starve to death." ”
Seeing that the king's attitude was so tough, Koizumi thought that maybe they really didn't have so much food, so he said: "That person has 20 stone per head, don't forget, there are still you Koreans in the city of Tokyo, and you are in a hurry, so don't blame us for slaughtering the city and eating human flesh." ”
The bastard of the dog day, the king scolded in his heart, he listened to Li Enze's almost pleading voice, and said with a blue face: "One person changes ten stones of grain, love does not change"
Koizumi said: "Okay, you pile up the grain and grass, there are 300 people here, 3,000 stone of grain here, and we will release them immediately." ”
Wang Bian calculated in his heart, Xiaoquan is holding back to get some first, seeing that he is so anxious, the Japanese slave rations are probably very tight, otherwise he will not release people on such low terms, and the 3,000 stone rations are enough for the Japanese slave army for two or three days, this is just a delaying tactic for the Japanese slaves, Wang looked at the old and young who were pressed by the Japanese slaves, and said to Li Enze: "King Li Jun, these are all given to you, and we don't have much food." ”
People who know the situation of grain and grass secretly think that the king is crying again about poverty, and it seems that Goryeo is bleeding again.
"Wang Shilang, you can do it, let's go back and discuss the price." Li Enze said in a low voice,
"Okay, that's it, a few of you are staring, I'm tired, Han Derong, Xin Linya, let's go back." After the king finished speaking, he beat the horse and returned to the handsome tent,
About two hours, the Liao army transported hundreds of grain trucks to the open field, which was piled with bags of grain and grass, Xiaoquan opened a bag or two to see, sure enough, it was grain, he was suddenly overjoyed, the Japanese slaves drove the Goryeo people with horsewhips, Xin Zan hurriedly ordered people to settle these refugees, a few people returned to the tent, and the king was sitting there drinking tea,
Although Li Enze had a lot of opinions about Wang Bian, he still thanked Wang Bian: "Thank you Wang Shilang, this batch of grain is my personal borrowing, and I still have food stamps." ”
After Li Enze finished speaking, he waved his hand next to the king, and he said to Xin Zan and Yelu Asi: "The two ministers of the Liao State, in this expedition, after all, the grain and grass in the Liao army are used, can these grains and grasses not be bothered with Goryeo just now, after all, human life is at stake, and our trip is nothing more than to help Goryeo get out of suffering, King Li Jun, I really didn't want to grow the arrogance of the Japanese slaves just now, and I hope to have a lot of Haihan." ”
When Xin Zan and Yelu Asi heard this, they secretly raised their big fingers, and they hurriedly said: "Wang Shilang, don't worry, you have not treated the Liao army badly, our grain and grass are still enough, but it is not enough, and it is also appropriate to save people first." ”
Li Enze only then understood the true intention of Wang Bei, he was very moved in his heart, and deeply saluted Wang Bei and said: "I have also heard my sister and impeachment Li Bo talk about Wang Shilang, and today I know that Wang Shilang is really righteous, thank you Wang Shilang, but this Japanese slave is really hateful, I am afraid that they will come in a day or two." ”
The king said confidently: "According to my estimate, there is no food and grass in their city, everyone hurry up and prepare, and we will attack the city tonight." ”
"Tonight." Li Enze exclaimed in surprise,
"Yes, after tonight, it will be tomorrow, August 15, and we must attack the city at the beginning of the ugly end and the beginning of the year." The eyes next to the king are shining, and a good show is about to start,
Koizumi rushed back to Tokyo City with grain and grass, and when it was already dark, he trotted to the general's mansion: "General Fujiwara, let's exchange it for 3,000 stone of grain and grass." He said excitedly, and after saying that, he saw that Fujiwara Naga's face was not very good-looking,
"General, aren't you happy?" Koizumi asked cautiously,
Fujiwara Nagaya looked at Koizumi: "There is news from the seaside post that they have seen that the ships of the Song army are not far from the coast. ”
"Oh, it's not good," Koizumi said, "General, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Han people, and tomorrow morning is the time when the tide is rising, so is it possible that the Song army will take advantage of the high tide to wash the ship into the coast." ”
Fujiwara Nagaya had a calm face: "We must not let them rush in, the coast is our last hope, if they occupy the coast, we can't withdraw our troops, if the 30,000 troops are all killed here, I'm afraid my brother regent will not have the face to speak in front of the emperor." ”
Koizumi thought for a while and said, "General Fujiwara, why don't we take advantage of the darkness today and quietly send troops to fight the Song people's fleet, so that they will be caught off guard first, and when the tide rises, we will just return to the army and retreat." ”
Fujiwara nodded, "You go and organize five thousand naval troops, we are all sea army, and the Song army is definitely not an opponent in sea battles." ”
After hearing this, Koizumi ordered the whole army, and after a while, the army of the Japanese slaves was gathered on the seaside, and not far away the fleet of more than 100 Song troops could already be seen, moving from the sea to the shore under the light of the moon.
Koizumi and Fujiwara looked nervously at the sea, and the Japanese navy got on the warship and sailed towards the Song army's ships, and the two armies got closer and closer.
At the forefront of the Song army's ships were twenty medium-sized ships, and in the middle was the warship where the commander was, and the bow Jiao Deyou and Wu Ling stood nervously beside Yang Shihan, squinting and looking at the other side: "General, the ship of the Japanese slaves is coming." Wu Ling pointed to the opposite side and said,
"When they get closer enough to catch the boat in front of us, we'll separate up." Yang Shihan commanded,
The Japanese slave ship was only a few dozen steps away from the Song army's ship, and the soldiers on the Japanese slave ship said to the general who led the team, "Head, something is wrong, why is there no movement on the Song army's ship." ”
The Unon officer said, "Fool, could they have thought that we would suddenly meet us, drop anchor, and rush me into these ships." As he spoke, the soldiers on the Japanese ship hooked the Song army's ship one by one with ropes with anchor hooks.
The Japanese slave soldiers didn't take a closer look, hooked Song Jun and rushed onto the boat screaming, and before they could see it clearly, they fell directly into the sea, and the people behind didn't know the situation in front, but they also continued to rush forward with a scream, and then they continued to fall.
The twenty ships in front of this are specially ordered by the king to build Jiao Deyou, there is no deck between the bow and stern, the whole ship is a hollow ship, the soldiers at the stern shoot with arrows, and the Japanese slaves jump on the bow and rush inward, but they all step on the air and fall into the sea.
The soldiers on the Song army ship laughed when they saw it, and Wu Ling patted Jiao Deyou and said: "The design of this hollow ship is really good, shipbuilding saves trouble and effort, and the lethality is quite strong." ”
Jiao Deyou smiled when he heard this: "That is, don't forget that our son is an immortal, and he has calculated the habits of the widows." ”
Yang Shihan looked at this scene and laughed: "Interesting, pass the order, change the formation, and besiege the Japanese slave ships." As soon as he gave the order, several slightly faster ships of the Song army fleet sailed out of the fleet and surrounded the fleet of Japanese slaves.
The Japanese slaves panicked and rushed forward into the sea, and those who wanted to flee found that their ships had been hooked up with the hollow boats, they screamed strangely, and shot randomly in a hurry, but the ships of the Song army had already come over, and the stones thrown by the catapults smashed the Japanese slave boats out of a big hole, and the sea water bubbled to the boats, and the boats of the Japanese slaves began to sink, and the Japanese slaves were crying wolves on the boat.
