Text Chapter 872 The Water Master is out

The five kings of the Japanese can become the king of the tribe, and he does have his intelligence, so now when he heard Cao Ang say this, his expression was also a little more restrained and said: "Well, what Cao Gongzi said still has some truth, but I don't know if you have any better way?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have a plan to deal with the Celestial Empire army, and even if I do it well, I can destroy them." Cao Ang said confidently. It was precisely because he knew that Zhang Chao was powerful and the Celestial Empire's army was strong, so he had already thought of countermeasures.

Hearing that Cao Ang really had an idea, the five kings of the Japanese said with a smile on their faces: "Hehe, Cao Gongzi is really a smart person, even if this is the case, just tell your method." ”

"Okay, my solution is to unite with the king of Kitakyushu, we will join forces in one place, so many soldiers, plus the geographical advantage, we can deal with the Celestial Empire army, and under the supply difficulties, I believe that it is not impossible to defeat them." Cao Ang is a generous statement, a picture of confidence.

The Great King of Kitakyushu is another powerful force in the Yamato Kingdom, and among these small islands, this force can be called the greatest opponent of the Five Kings of Wa. And Ono Motoi, the king of Kitakyushu, is even more powerful, and he heard that there are 300,000 soldiers in his hands, which is really a big force.

"Hmm, unite with Ono?" Hearing this, the face of the Five Kings of the Wo Wu obviously became much gloomy, and it was obvious that he did not agree with Cao Ang's suggestion.

Seeing that the faces of the five kings of the Japanese became ugly, Cao Ang knew that things were going to be bad, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, first unite with them, and then work together to scrape the land of Huaxia." Compared to the territory of Yamato Country, it is the real land and abundant resources. Now, as long as we do our luck well, we may be able to use the war to consume their strength, so that we can also achieve the goal of annexing them. ”

Cao Ang was saying as he observed the expressions of the five kings, especially after saying the last few words, after seeing the smile on the faces of the five kings, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

These days of getting along, Cao Ang also has a certain understanding of the five kings.

This person is ambitious and ambitious, but it may be because of the reason that he lives in the Yamato country, his vision is still a little short-sighted, he only knows to occupy the entire Yamato country, and he really doesn't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people.

Cao Ang knew that it was not a simple matter to change the mind of the five kings, so he took Ono Motoi to talk about things, as long as he could eliminate this person, presumably this method could be passed in the hearts of the five kings.

"Well, yes, that's a good idea, but you can give it a try. But I just don't know if Ono's side will agree? The Five Kings had agreed to Cao Ang's plan in his heart, but he just didn't know if Ono would fall for the scheme, so he asked.

Seeing that the five kings of the Japanese had agreed, Cao Ang answered: "They will agree, and I am willing to be a lobbyist myself to persuade them to fight with the king and the army of the Celestial Empire." ”

"Okay, if that's the case, it will trouble Cao Gongzi." Hearing Cao Ang's volunteering, how could the five kings of the Japanese have a reason to disagree, so they immediately nodded and expressed their support.

In this way, in the days when the Celestial Empire's naval army was approaching the Yamato Kingdom, Cao Ang became a lobbyist and began to unite the forces of the Five Kings of Wa and Ono Motoi.

Cao Ang's eloquence is very good, and in addition to the example of how rich Huaxia Da is, it is also said that Ono Motoi, who is also ambitious, is also moving, and the two strongest forces in the Yamato Kingdom are united at the moment, and they have begun to prepare for war, and they must unanimously deal with the upcoming Celestial Empire army.

The Five Kings of Wa and Ono Motoi united, and the total number of troops reached 750,000, of which the Wa Five Kings had 400,000 soldiers and Ono Motoi 350,000.

These troops are basically three-quarters of the male population of Yamato Province. Excluding the elderly and children, almost all men between the ages of 14 and 50 joined the army.

The history of Yamato is too short, and it is very rare to be able to gather these troops. It was also the first time that they had cooperated with outsiders in the whole country.

For this cooperation, both the five kings of the Japanese and Ono Motoi are full of confidence, in their opinion, with the geographical reasons, they will definitely make the distant Celestial Empire army suffer, and if they get it right, they can also take the opportunity to fight back, and it is not impossible to occupy the rich land of China.

In order to achieve the goal of hitting with one blow and winning the first battle, the two sent all their elite forces to guard the front line of Tongdao.

Tsushima is now Hiroshima. It is the southern coast of Yamato Province and the closest place to Samhan.

The army is placed here in order to give a head-on blow to the army of the Celestial Empire from afar. To do this, they dug deep trenches on the shore and ambushed a large number of archers here. At the same time, a number of carved forts were also established on the shore, where a large number of soldiers were ambushed, and they were defended in a triangular front.

This was a process of transformation of the Yamato Kingdom from the late Yayoi Bunka period to the early Kofun period. And with such a complex and tight line of defense on the shore, they believe that no one can easily rush ashore.

After making sufficient preparations, the Yamato ** team only waited for the Celestial Empire army to come from afar, and they could stretch out their hands.

At this time, the Celestial Empire's waterway army was sailing on the sea.

After investing a lot of money, the Celestial Empire's naval army now has thousands of large and small ships. There were also ten oversized ships equipped with the latest guns.

It was Zhang Chao's idea to install artillery on a sea ship, but it was not the first time he had done so. It has been equipped before, and it has greatly frustrated the Jiangdong naval army. But at that time, the artillery was not very powerful or long-range, and now after the refurbishment of the Zhangjia Weapons Academy, the power will only be greater and the firing range will be longer.

And this time, ten super-large warships rushed to the front and rear in an arrow-shaped formation, behind him were some large manned warships, and behind were medium-sized manned warships and the last replenishment ships.

The First Emperor Zhang Chao was seated on a super-large ship, and from the window he could see the endless blue sea.

Zhang Chao was not familiar with naval battles, and he had never had any contact before, this time he accompanied him, completely from the perspective of a bystander, he handed over all the command to the hands of Gan Ning, the commander of the Navy Corps, and he was chatting with Jia Xu, the commander of the Water Corps, in the boat.

It's not necessarily a small talk, he got some specific information about the Waterway Corps and the Samhan region through chatting.

From the chat, we learned that the Samhan region has developed very well in recent years, and under the stable situation, the people have been able to develop with peace of mind, and with the help of the Waterway Legion, a lot of fertile land has been cultivated.

Hearing this, Zhang Chao nodded with satisfaction and praised the development of the Waterway Corps in the Samhan area. But at the same time, he also pointed out that for foreign races, it is necessary to assimilate as much as possible, including ideological, believical, linguistic, and cultural assimilation, and to make them as proud as the Celestial Empire as much as possible. It is also necessary to deal with some stubborn elements in a serious manner, and not to be soft-hearted.

For these, Jia Xu wrote them down one by one, which is equivalent to a holy decree, with these words, he also knows how to do it when he returns to the Samhan region.

Time passed in such small talk, and finally came to the outskirts of Yamato Province nearly a month later.

Yamato Province stretches from Kitajima in the north, Fukushima in the middle, and Kumamoto and Oita prefectures in the south. And this time, the place chosen by the Celestial Empire army is in Oita Prefecture, not far from the island.

Oita Prefecture is the closest prefecture to the Samhan region in a straight line and one of the important towns in the southern part of Yamato Province. Here, the five kings had already arranged 50,000 heavy troops to guard it, and put General Kimura Baitian, whom he valued the most, here.

When the Tensa's navy appeared on the beach outside Oita Prefecture, an alarm sounded, and then all the archers and archers were ready to attack at any time and attack from a distance with their bows and arrows.

According to the monocular invented under Zhang Chao's instructions, it was easy to see the situation on the beach, and after seeing that the soldiers of the small Japanese country had already prepared, Yan Xing, the deputy commander of the waterway corps in charge of the vanguard, immediately ordered the boat to stop, and then reported the matter to the top.

Among the super-large warships, Zhang Chao heard the report of the commander of the Gan Ning Legion about the battle situation, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I said, this time I came to watch the battle, as the commander of the corps, you can fight as much as you want, and you don't need to ask for anything." ”

"Obey." Hearing Zhang Chao's complete decentralization, Gan Ning was naturally overjoyed, and then bowed and retreated, and then issued an order for the super-large warship to prepare for an artillery attack.

The trenches were arranged in an orderly manner, and there were even earthen forts on the surface as cover, and such a defensive line was naturally foolproof in Kimura Momota's opinion. Although he only has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands now, he believes that it is unlikely that the other party wants to rush ashore, and even if he can get up, it will be an extremely heavy price.

Kimura Momota is very confident, because it is such a defensive formation, which has caused the former enemy Ono Motoi to suffer a lot of losses, and the arrival of the Asonic army that day should be the same result.

It's just that Kimura Momota doesn't know that he is a frog at the bottom of the well, he doesn't know what artillery is, and he doesn't know that the outside world has already changed, or that kind of earth-shaking change.

In the face of the ignorant little Japanese ** team, the commander of the Gan Ning regiment was full of meaning, and after he gave the order to open fire, the cannon barrel had already been aimed at the trench and earthen fort on the shore, and the huge cannon immediately rang out, and the shells flew straight away.
