In January of the 14th year of the reign of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the well-prepared Li Su finally launched an attack on Baekje from Silla, and the 25,000 Tang army plus tens of thousands of Silla servant troops crossed the border between the two countries and pounced on the cities of Baekje like a tiger. In the face of such a ferocious attack by the Tang army, Baekje, which had already exhausted its national strength, had no power to resist at all, and the army was also defeated again and again, and soon lost a large amount of land, and it was in danger of losing the country.

In this case, the 10,000 Japanese reinforcements stationed in Baekje were sent to the battlefield again, but unfortunately this brutal army failed to continue the glory of the last time, first by the Tang army with gunpowder and cavalry to disperse the ranks, and then surrounded by the Silla servant army, the Silla people have long hated these burning and looting Japanese troops, so after besieging this Japanese army, all the Silla people seemed to go crazy, and killed the Japanese people when they saw them, and finally the 10,000 troops were finally slaughtered by the vengeful Silla people.

When the news reached the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, which had been choosing to forbear after Li Su blockaded the Tsushima Strait, absolutely couldn't help it, and the Su I family, who was in power to the Wa State, gathered a large army and prepared to formally intervene in the war between Li Su and Baekje, but this has a precondition, that is, to break Li Su's blockade of the Strait, but unfortunately this matter is too difficult, and the inferior shipbuilding technology of the Wa State makes them unable to compete with the navy of the Tang Dynasty at sea.

It's just a pity that since the unification of the Wa Kingdom, many people in their country have not been able to clearly understand the gap between themselves and the Tang Dynasty, so under the role of many aspects, the Wa State finally organized a naval army of 40,000 people and more than 1,000 warships, ready to win by numbers. After all, according to the information they got, the Tang Navy blocking the strait was only more than 10,000 people. With more bullying and less to do, they have no possibility of winning.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was this. When the 40,000-strong Japanese navy attacked Tsushima and Danluo, they suddenly found that the two islands were empty, and the Tang Dynasty Navy that was originally stationed here disappeared. This result shocked the spirit of the Japanese people, thinking that this was a manifestation of the cowardice of the Tang Dynasty, and when the news spread to the Japanese country, it attracted countless Japanese nobles to carnival, and at the same time strengthened their Japanese state to have the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty.

Datang's avoidance of war lifted the spirits of the Japanese people, but the commander of the Japanese naval army, Tian Xian, did not relax his vigilance. He did not rush to transport the army to Baekje, but looked everywhere for the traces of the Datang fleet, wanting to eliminate the Datang Navy first, and then remove this hidden danger at sea before transporting troops.

The capital of Baekje is Sihyun City, which is located in the lower reaches of the Geumgang River basin and is surrounded by the endless sea to the west. Clean up the various appendages on the bottom of the boat.

It's just that because of the war between Li Su and Baekje, the route from Datang to Baekje suddenly became cold, and Sihyun City was even more affected, and the fleet rarely arrived in the vast open sea. At most, the boats of some fishermen along the coast will drift at sea, working hard for a day's worth of food.

Just in the open sea southwest of Siyu City, there is a desert island 100 miles away from the port. Because there is no water or vegetation on the island, there are very few merchant ships that come and go here. At most, someone will only tow the boat over to inspect it if there is a problem nearby. And now, with this trade route deserted, this nameless desert island is even more deserted.

However, today's nameless desert island has a group of uninvited guests, all of whom came to this island on huge sea ships carrying countless Tang soldiers, and then began the final rest before the war. These people are naturally the Tang Navy that has disappeared for a long time, but in addition to Lu Qing's 15,000 people, there are 10,000 more troops.

"General, let's retreat without a fight this time, it's a shame to think about it!" In a tent on the shore of the desert island, a rugged-looking young general slapped his thigh fiercely, and roared with a very unwilling face. This person was Zhu Chong, who led people to rob the fleet of the Japanese State last time, and seeing him so annoyed, he was obviously very dissatisfied with this avoidance of war.

And looking at this fiery young man, Lu Qing, who was sitting on the main seat, took a sip of tea very calmly, and then said with a smile: "Zhu Chong, what is the calculation of the temporary evasion, as long as this plan is successful, we will kill it back immediately, and let those Japanese people know when the time comes, who is the overlord on the sea?" ”

In fact, Zhu Chong also knew that this time the war was not because they were afraid of the small boats of the Japanese people, in fact, on the contrary, their navy did not take the more than 40,000 Japanese people in their eyes at all, but the way of using military forces was in line with the reality and the truth, in order to end the war with Baekje more quickly, and in order to avoid large casualties in the war, they did not hesitate to spare a large circle and counted Baekje and the Japanese kingdom into account.

"Alas, okay, let those Japanese people be arrogant for a few more days, and then Lao Tzu must use a boat to knock them into the water!" Zhu Chong clenched his fists and puffed out his cheeks and said hatefully.

"Hahaha~, is General Zhu breathless again?" As soon as Zhu Chong's words fell, a hearty laugh came from outside the tent, and then the tent was opened, and a middle-aged man with a strong figure and a burly young man walked in one after the other.

As soon as he saw these two people, Zhu Chong immediately stood up and hugged his fists and said, "General Su, Brother Rengui, have your 10,000 people been settled?" ”

It was Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui who came in, and this time Li Su sent them to complete a beheading plan. Although in the head-to-head confrontation with Baekje, the Tang army could almost be said to be unstoppable, but Li Su was still not satisfied with such an offensive progress, so he had such a plan, he sent Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui to Pyongyang City, borrowed 10,000 elite soldiers from Zhang Jian again, and then sent it to Sihyun by Lu Qing's navy, and captured the capital of Baekje in one fell swoop, so as to end the war in advance.

On the other hand, Lu Qing's navy can also avoid the hard fight with the Japanese navy, it is estimated that when the news of their attack on Si Yu spreads, the Japanese navy that has long been proud will immediately come, and then Lu Qing and they will wait for work and solve the largest sea force of the Japanese state in one fell swoop.

Su Dingfang heard Zhu Chong's words, sat down with Xue Rengui and said: "Don't worry, these 10,000 soldiers have all fought by boat before, so their physical condition is very good, let's rest here for half the night today, and then let's set off overnight, and strive to rush to Siyu City in the early morning, and then we can kill them by surprise!" ”

Su Dingfang was Li Su's old subordinate at the beginning, and his qualifications were older than Lu Qing and Zhu Chong, plus he was a rare general, so he was the leader among several people, but he and Xue Rengui were mainly in charge of 10,000 infantry, and Lu Qing and Zhu Chong were naval generals.

"General Su, rest assured, we have already figured out the sea situation in Si Yu very clearly, plus there are tools such as a compass, so even if you sail at night, you don't have to worry about getting lost, you will definitely be able to reach Si Yu early tomorrow morning!" At this time, Lu Qing also assured with a smile.

With Lu Qing's assurance, Su Dingfang finally nodded with satisfaction, looked at Xue Rengui next to him and said: "Rengui, you are the vanguard of this attack on Si Xuan, if there is any difficulty, then bring it up now, I will help you find a way to solve it, otherwise if it comes to war, it will be too late." ”

In fact, Su Dingfang is still a little uneasy about Xue Rengui's deputy, although he knows that this young man's performance in the military academy is good, and he is a rare general, but the other party has a great shortcoming, that is, he has not been on the battlefield, originally with a battlefield veteran like Su Dingfang, he would never give such an important position as a striker to Xue Rengui, but before coming, Li Su personally designated Xue Rengui as the striker of this battle, so Su Dingfang had to comply.

However, although Xue Rengui is young, but after a year of studying in the military academy, his bearing is more calm, after listening to Su Dingfang's words, he muttered for a while, and then said: "General, although Siyu City is near the sea, but its main city is still some distance from the coast, if we land from the port, I am afraid that when we rush to the main city, the other party has already been prepared, but fortunately, Si Yu is still facing the Jin River, so the last general thinks that it is possible to use a boat to go up the Jin River and send us to Si Yu City, and then launch a fierce attack, It will definitely play a miracle effect! ”

Hearing Xue Rengui's suggestion, Su Dingfang also felt that it was feasible, but he still had to ask Lu Qing's opinion, after all, the waters there were still relatively familiar, and it was up to Lu Qing whether he could use a boat to go up the river.

After hearing this, Lu Qing pondered for a moment, and immediately nodded and said: "General Xue's plan is feasible, the waterway of the Jinjiang River can allow small boats to pass, and then we can divide our troops into two ways, first use our navy to attract the attention of the other party, and then send the fastest car and boat to carry General Xue into the Jinjiang River, and when we defeat the naval army in Siyu City, General Su can lead the army to aid General Xue!" ”

Hearing Lu Qing's words, Xue Rengui immediately showed an excited smile. It was the first time he had participated in the war, but he didn't expect to be awarded such an important position by His Royal Highness the King of Qi, although he believed that he could do well, but there was also a lot of pressure on him, and now that his advice was adopted, this naturally gave him a lot of confidence.

And Su Dingfang also glanced at Xue Rengui with some satisfaction, it seems that this honor student of the military academy is really a good seedling, no wonder His Royal Highness values him so much.

"Good! According to what Ingui said, everyone hurry up and rest, and tomorrow I will fight Baekje! Su Dingfang also said ambitiously, since he was the first old minister to follow His Royal Highness King Qi, then he had to make some appearance, so that these later generals could see that they, the people who were born as palace guards, were not vegetarians!
