At five or six o'clock in the morning in the northern winter, it is the darkest hour before the sun rises, and the city of Siyu is also in the sweetest sleep, and even the small fleet of ships patrolling the sea has relaxed, yawning and preparing to go back to change shifts.

But at this moment, suddenly a black shadow appeared on the sea to the southwest, but unfortunately under the cover of night, no one paid attention to this shadow that was getting closer and closer. And when this shadow finally entered the warning range of the patrol fleet in Si Yu City, the soldiers on these patrol ships finally heard some abnormal sounds from the sound of the water, and then discovered this shadow that was already close at hand.

"There are big ships, enemy attacks!" It wasn't until the shadow was only a few dozen paces away from the patrol boat that the patrol boat realized that it was actually a large fleet, which startled everyone, and immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time prepared to light a beacon fire to sound the alarm.

However, it is a pity that the attacking warship was too close to them, and before the first patrol ship could light the beacon fire, they saw a huge warship with sharp arrows like rain, and in the blink of an eye, the patrol ship was shot like a hedgehog, and the Baekje soldiers on board were killed and wounded, and finally a giant crossbow pierced the thin hull of the patrol ship, causing the patrol ship to sink slowly.

Although the first patrol ship that discovered the enemy did not pass on the news, the sound of the battle here still attracted the attention of other patrol ships, and soon they discovered this huge fleet of sneak attacks, and lit the beacon fire on the ship, but when these patrol ships lit the beacon fire, they also exposed the location of their own ships, and the result was naturally to attract the pursuit of the huge fleet in front of them, and few patrol ships could escape the catastrophe.

By the fire of war ignited on a patrol ship. It can be seen that the attack is a fleet of hundreds of huge warships, and this kind of warship can be built in this sea. Naturally, there is only the powerful Datang. The small patrol ships of the Baekje people could not stop the progress of the Tang warships at all, and they were quickly crushed to pieces. Then the warships of the Tang Dynasty did not stop at all, and immediately rushed to the water military camp in the sea outside Sixian City.

As the capital of Baekje, Sihyeon Fortress is also an important port city, in addition to the 15,000 infantry stationed in the city, there are also 10,000 naval troops stationed on the seaside. Originally, with the important location of Sihyun Fortress, it was natural that only such a small number of troops would be stationed, but because Yi Su launched an attack from Silla, Baekje was defeated in successive battles, and the army suffered great losses. As a last resort, the army of Siyu City was also transferred to the front line, and now the combined water and land armies in the entire city are only 25,000 people.

When the Baekje Navy received the enemy attack beacon fire from the patrol boat, they immediately responded, and all the soldiers urgently gathered on the boat, and then rushed out of the water village to meet the enemy in a hurry, but unfortunately they were faced with hundreds of Tang warships, although the Baekje warships were more than Lu Qing. But most of them were small ships, and compared to the huge warships, they were like small sampans.

With the advantage of size, the Datang warships directly crushed these Baekje warships that were facing the enemy. For a time, Baekje's small warship was crashed and injured countless times, and a large number of Baekje soldiers struggled in the sea, while at the same time. The various weapons on the warships of both sides also began to wield, with the help of rockets flying in the sky. You can see that there has been a sea of blood and fire below, and many soldiers are dying every moment. It can be said that at this moment, it truly embodies the meaning of human life as grass.

The Baekje Navy was originally inferior to Lu Qing and them in terms of numbers, and there was a huge gap on the warship, plus they were in a hurry to respond to the battle, so it can be said that they did not have an advantage in any aspect, and as soon as they came into contact with the battle situation, they were already one-sided. Seeing this situation, the commander of the Baekje Navy naturally did not dare to fight hard, and hurriedly ordered to retreat into the water village to defend, and at the same time asked people to go to Si Hyun City to ask for a group of infantry to come to the water village to help defend together.

King Wu in Siyu City has also received the news that an enemy is attacking from the sea, and judging from the strength of the other party, it should be the Tang Navy that blocked the Tsushima Strait before, which made King Wu very anxious, because he knew that the 10,000 sailors in Siyu City alone would definitely not be able to stop the other party.

Just when King Wu had just gathered the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty together and was ready to discuss how to deal with this crisis, the envoy sent by the commander of the naval army in front also arrived, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had different opinions on whether to send reinforcements.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead a team to help the navy!" A white-haired veteran stepped forward and said.

However, as soon as the veteran's words fell, someone immediately stood up and objected: "No, now I only have 15,000 infantry left in Siyu City, and even the defense is problematic, if it is transferred out now, then if the other party takes advantage of the chaos to attack the city, I am afraid that it will be broken by the other party in one fell swoop, so for the safety of Siyu City, it is absolutely impossible to draw troops!" ”

"What kind of bastard is this, aren't the 10,000 sailors fighting for Si Xuan's safety?" A hot-tempered general stood up and said angrily.

"The naval camp is very strong, and according to the information we have received, the number of the other party is not much more than ours, so the naval army can completely rely on the geographical advantage to block the other party at sea!" Another minister, who was opposed to sending troops, spoke.

Neither of the advocates of sending troops nor those against sending troops could convince anyone, and in the end they even quarreled in the court, and finally as a prince, Yi Ci slapped the table angrily, stood up and roared: "Enough, now that my Baekje has reached the point of life and death, where is there time to quarrel here?" ”

As soon as he saw the prince lose his temper, all the ministers in the palace quieted down, only to see Yici look at everyone with a blue face, and then turned to King Wu and said: "Father, although there are not many troops in Si Xiang City, there are still more than 100,000 people, on the occasion of the rise and fall of the country, the son of the minister implored his father to issue an edict to order people to recruit the people to defend the city, as for the naval army outside the city, it was originally the first line of defense of my Si Xiang City, if this line of defense is broken, the other party will definitely send an army to land safely, and since the other party dares to attack Si Xuan, There must still be infantry transported in the fleet, so Erchen thought that he must not let them go to the rock so easily, so he still sent a reinforcement army over to delay the landing time of the other party as much as possible! ”

Yici is worthy of being the successor of the next lord of Baekje, and the analysis in his words is very reasonable, even King Wu felt his eyes light up after hearing this, and immediately rejoiced: "Okay, my son is really smart, come here, immediately spread the will of this king, organize civil middle-aged men to guard the city wall, and allocate 5,000 soldiers to support the navy!" ”

As soon as he heard that the Martial King absolutely agreed to support, several generals immediately jumped out to take the initiative to petition, expressing their willingness to lead this team of 5,000 people to support the naval army. However, seeing that Yici, who had not yet retreated, spoke again: "Father, the son is willing to personally lead these 5,000 soldiers to support, presumably as a son minister, he will definitely inspire my Baekje soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy!" ”

When Yici opened his mouth, the generals who automatically petitioned just now were all silent, because they all knew that this prince Yici was also a person who knew the soldiers, and it was he who led the army to assist the Tang Dynasty in attacking Goguryeo, although he was later defeated by Goguryeo, but he also laid a lot of land for Baekje, so this time he proposed to go out in person, so no one in Baekje could compete with him anymore.

After hearing this, King Wu also thought about it carefully, although he didn't want his son to go out on an adventure, but at this moment, Yici was indeed the best candidate. Thinking of this, King Wu finally sighed and said: "Okay, Wu'er, you must be careful, if you can't do anything, you don't have to insist anymore, we will defend the city when we retreat, as long as we hold until the reinforcements arrive, then the other party will definitely retreat without a fight!" ”

"The retainers obey!" Hearing his father's words of concern, Yici was also a little moved, knelt down and made a big salute to King Wu, and then immediately ordered the five thousand soldiers and horses to be rescued, and immediately prepared to support the navy when he came out of the south gate.

There are no more than 5,000 people, no less, even if the gate of Si Yu City is relatively wide, but it will take some time to get out of it all, but it is also in this very short period of time that a great change has occurred.

Originally, Yici took 5,000 people out of the city, but when they were just more than halfway out of the 5,000 people, they suddenly heard a shout of killing from the southeast direction of the city gate, and then saw a Tang army like a tiger coming out of the night, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to collide with Yici's army.

In the face of this Tang army, Yi Ci was also taken aback at first, but after all, he was a person with a lot of experience in leading troops, so he quickly calmed down, and first carefully observed the army that was killed, although the reality of the other party could not be seen in the night, but it can be judged from the shouting that the number of the other party is not very large, and it may not even be 5,000 people. With this judgment, Yi Ci immediately made his heart settle, first loudly reprimanded his subordinates to stabilize the team, and then prepared to meet the enemy in person under the protection of a group of guards.

I have to say that Yici's judgment is very accurate, the Tang army that came to the killing was the vanguard led by Xue Rengui, the number was only 3,000 people, they took a small boat from the Jinjiang River upstream, and only got off the boat near Siyu City, and then quietly touched the city, but just met Yici with reinforcements out of the city, seeing such a good opportunity, Xue Rengui naturally would not give up, and immediately rushed out with his three thousand forwards.

In the night, Xue Rengui ripped off the black cloak he used for concealment, revealing a white robe, and rushed up with the Fang Tian painting halberd, but unfortunately the boat could not carry horses, otherwise it would make his image more powerful.

Xue Rengui, who rushed to the front, had already seen Yici who was guarded by a group of guards in the middle, although he didn't know the identity of the other party, but at a glance, he knew that the other party must be an important person, so when he rushed to about one hundred and eighty steps, Xue Rengui took advantage of the lights on the other party's city tower, and immediately opened his bow and arrow, and as soon as he released his hand, a sharp arrow shot out like lightning, and the target was directly Yici's throat!
