The Baicun River is not a very famous river, just an ordinary river where many streams converge, it is not more than 200 miles long, the amount of water is not small, and because it is the height of summer, the mountain floods are frequent, the width of the water surface is two miles, but the water flow is not too turbulent, and there are few strong winds and waves, the boat runs on it, but it is also very stable, in the past, it is one of the important water trade routes in Baekje, and the boats are endless, but since the Tang army entered the city of Zhouliu, this waterway has been completely cut off by the Tang army, Except for the occasional glimpse of some small fishing boats, there are very few merchant ships coming and going, and the wide water surface looks unobstructed and open, which makes the sailors of the Japanese Hundred Coalition Army who came from afar very relaxed, and nearly 500 large and small warships are driving on the river in such a chaotic manner, and there is no formation to speak of, of course, the lax military discipline of the Japanese Hundred Coalition Army is one thing, and the lack of experience in large-scale water warfare is also one of the root causes of such chaos.

Although the water flow of the Baicun River is not turbulent, it is a very nerve-wracking thing for the Japanese and hundreds of allied troops who sail against the current, even if there is a crosswind to borrow, but the speed of the ship is still not fast - the allied forces have walked the waterway for two days since entering the mouth of the Baicun River, but they have only traveled less than a hundred miles, which makes the Japanese people who have always been brave and ruthless uncomfortable, and the bored soldiers on each ship are like herding sheep, or gambling, or idle, or gathering together to fight for fun, this is the flagship of the former fleetThe movement on the "Ise" was the loudest, and the noise was so loud that it could be heard from dozens of ships.

"Yes, yes!"

"Well played, pretty!"

"General Park Ichida is mighty and invincible!"

……

On the deck of the "Ise", a burly and stout man bare/naked with one hand behind his back, only one hand fought with a big man in the shape of a man for several faces, and then in the cheers and cheers of a group of soldiers, like an eagle catching a chicken, he grabbed the opponent by the neck of the opponent, spun it, and with a shake of his hand, he had thrown the man into the crowd of onlookers, and then a group of onlookers shouted loudly, this person was the former vanguard officer of the Japanese Navy Division, Pu Ichi Tian Laijin, known as "a thousand people beheaded". It is known as the first warrior of the Japanese country.

"You Baekje people are okay with business, but you can't fight." Park Shitian Laijin proudly folded his hands behind his back, enjoying the cheers of the onlookers, shaking his head, looking at the Baekje general who had been knocked to the ground by him with a contemptuous smile on his face, and said in a disrespectful manner: "Like this, I can beat four others by myself, who dares to bet?" ”

"Me."

"Me."

"And me!"

……

Although the Baekje people were not very strong, they were really too arrogant when they heard what Park Shitian was talking about, and six or seven people stood up among the onlookers, all of whom rushed to fight with Park Shitian Laijin.

"Okay, let's go together!" Park Ichida Laijin was conceited and brave, and he didn't pay attention to the Baekje officers and soldiers who stood up to challenge him, laughed, hooked his fingers, and motioned for everyone to come together.

The Baekje Naval Division was stationed in Garin Castle earlier, and then was ordered to rush from Garin to Shabi Castle to cooperate with the Wa State Naval Division to attack Silla, and the previous war was also considered a tacit understanding, and the two sides were at peace with each other, but since the transfer of Jinjiang, because of the idleness, the officers and soldiers of the army got together to fight for fun, and under this fight, it made Park City Tian Laijin greatly majestic, and for several days in a row, none of the fighters on the Baekje side were the opponents of Park City Tian Lai Jin, and they saw that they would go to Zhou Liucheng in two days, Today is the last chance to save face, a group of Baekje warriors are thinking of defeating Park City Tian Laijin today, but they didn't expect to go up a few warriors in the army, all of them are not Park City Tian Laijin's opponents, Ben is depressed, seeing that Park City Tian Laijin is so rampant, how can a group of Baekje warriors swallow this bad breath, when they see Park City Tian Laijin hooking his hand to humiliate themselves, a group of Baekje warriors are even more angry, each roared angrily, and rushed towards Park City Tian Laijin, trying to rely on the advantage of more people, Hit Park City Tian Laijin was caught off guard, but unexpectedly, Park City Tian Laijin looked rough, in fact, he was so clever that he didn't wait for a group of Baekje officers and soldiers to rush to the front, he saw Park City Tian Laijin roaring, and in a moment's footsteps, people had already rushed out like swimming fish, and under a few flashes in the crowd, punches and kicks, they knocked down the frontal enemies who had not had time to encircle them one by one, and then a "harrier turned over", dodged the combined attack of the three Baekje warriors who attacked from behind, and swept the hall to the past. Swept the last three opponents into a rolling hoist.

"Yes, yes!"

"Wonderful, Pu Ichitian-kun is mighty!"

……

As soon as he saw that the seven warriors of Baekje **** were **** on the ground so easily, a group of onlookers roared and cheered, which made Park Shitian Laijin very proud, just thinking about saying a few more words to lift his spirit, but suddenly heard a terrible horn sounded, and a group of people who were taken aback looked at the flagship of the Chinese army, and immediately saw that the flag of the Chinese army was hung on the flagship "Takehe", and the group of people immediately dispersed, and each rushed to the "Takega" in a small boat.

"Wuhe" is the largest warship in the Japanese Hundred Alliance, a total of two floors, can carry more than 300 soldiers, plus sailors, miscellaneous servants and the like, the total load can reach 500 people, although far less than the Tang Army building ship as mighty, but it is already the pinnacle of the shipbuilding industry of the Japanese Army, its second deck is the location of the general headquarters of the Japanese Hundred Alliance, when the intermediate generals such as Pu Shitian Laijin rushed to the second cabin, the senior generals of the Japanese Hundred Alliance Army are already present - the head of the high seat is the translation of the former minister of the Great Power God of the Naval Division of the Japanese Navy, Accompanying the two sides were the former general Kamimono-kun Tokiko, the later general Abe Hirafu, and the prince of Baekje, Fuyu Tadakatsu, and the middle-level generals who came in a hurry hurriedly rushed forward to salute.

"Gentlemen, according to the outpost report, Tang Kou's sailors have arrived at Wulitan, early tomorrow morning, our army will encounter the enemy, according to investigation, Tang Kou has more than 170 large and small ships, more than 15,000 soldiers, and can get the support of thieves on the shore, this battle may be difficult, what do you think?" After all the middle-level generals rushed to the cabin, the former ministers of the Jushi God suppressed their hands and signaled the generals in the cabin to be quiet, and then announced the news unhurriedly.

"Fight! Our army is numerous, they are outnumbered, and a battle should be won! ”

"Fight, we will be the first, he should retreat, and then take advantage of the chaos to annihilate it, a big victory can be expected!"

"Just Tang Kou is not enough to worry about it, I don't come from afar just to pacify the thief, just fight, and the battle will win!"

……

Although all the Japanese generals had never fought with the Tang army, although they had heard their colleagues in Baekje talk about the courage of the Tang army, they were all disapproving, and always thought that the Baekje army was too weak, which made the Tang army invincible.

"Okay, I will not be afraid of battle, this courage can be used, our army will go to Wulitan tomorrow to break the enemy!" Seeing that all the generals were fighting bravely, the former ministers of the Great Power God were very pleased, and they applauded violently, shouted hello, and then asked, "Who dares to be a pioneer?" ”

"The last general is willing to go on a journey!"

"The last general wants to go!"

"I'll go, I won't stop if I don't break Tang Kou's oath!"

……

The generals of the Japanese army were all warlike people, and when they heard the translation of the former ministers of the giant god, they all jumped out with enthusiasm and volunteered to be the vanguard.

"Baga, rebel, who dares to rob me, huh?" A group of Japanese generals fought happily, but they annoyed Park Shitian Laijin, flashed out from the side, stretched out his hand, pushed all the generals aside, and shouted angrily. Park Shitian Laijin has the name of the first warrior of the Japanese country on his head, and he is very domineering, and when he comes out like this, all the generals retreat, and no one dares to say more.

"Okay, good, Park Shitian Jun is brave and invincible, it should be the choice of the Zhengyin pioneer, if you can get Park Shijun to come out, it will be successful!" Far from being annoyed by the rudeness of Kakuchi Tian Laijin, he stood up happily and praised excitedly.

Pu Shitian Laijin was still respectful to the commander of the army who translated the former minister of the giant power god, and when he saw his words, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Lord in front of the giant power god, the last general is rude, I will take the seal of this vanguard, hum, I have heard that Tang Kou is rampant, so I must let him wait to see who is the hero!" ”

"It's so good, tomorrow the troops will send Wulitan and break Tang Kou in one battle!" The former minister of the Great Power God did not ask the meaning of the two Baekje princes at all, and did not even have a clear strategy for arranging the troops, so he gave the battle order so straightforwardly.

"Banya! Win! Win! Win! As soon as the generals of the Japanese State heard the order, they all shouted wildly, and they had the momentum of eating the Tang Army's sailors in one go......

Wulitan, located in the middle reaches of the Baicun River, because there are many streams flowing into the Baicun River here, so the river surface is extremely open, when the rain is abundant in midsummer, the water surface is vast, although it is less than five miles so exaggerated, but the water surface of four miles is still there, it is the hub of water transportation, and the town on the left bank has a wharf, in the past, it is also regarded as the prosperous place of the ten miles and eight townships, but since the Tang army covered up and killed, all the residents of the town were coaxed into Zhouliu City, this place was broken, If it weren't for the fact that the Tang Army's sailors had been stationed here since the day before yesterday, this town would have been a world of all kinds of birds and beasts.

On the fourth day of the seventh month of the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, at four o'clock, the sky had just dawned, a round of red sun slowly rose from behind the mountain, the golden sun warmly shrouded the earth, dispelling the mist in the forest, flocks of birds and finches sang crisply in the mountains and forests, as if in the deep chant of the peace here, the silence of the Tang Army sailors gathered in the left side of the river, it was almost difficult to see the figures of the officers and soldiers on the deck, only the lookout posts standing on the tall masts turned their bodies from time to time, Through the rippling mist on the river, I searched for the whereabouts of the indecent enemy.

At five o'clock, the sun had completely emerged from behind the mountain, the mist on the river gradually dissipated, and an ominous black line suddenly appeared at the junction of water and sky in the lower reaches of the river, and then a large piece of mast poked out, and the Japanese alliance army had arrived! The sharp-eyed lookout post immediately picked up the horn from his waist and blew it violently, and in an instant, the terrible horn sounded in the Tang fleet, and the figures on each battleship were heavy, and countless elite soldiers poured out of the cabin, each rushing to their positions, and in a few moments, the Tang fleet that was originally moored on the shore had begun to turn, slowly sailing towards the center of the river, and a tight phalanx was discharged, waiting for the Japanese and hundreds of coalition troops coming against the water.

"Tang Kou fleet, five miles ahead, the Tang army fleet was found!" Almost at the same time as the lookout post of the Tang Army raised the alarm, the lookout post of the forward fleet of the Japanese Navy Division also discovered the Tang Army fleet that was nervously arranged, and the sound of yo ho sounded one after another in the vanguard fleet of the Japanese Navy Division.

"Baga, do you want to die, hurry, blow the trumpet, the whole army is on alert, ready to meet the enemy!" Hearing the movement, Park Ichida Laijin, who came out of the cabin, saw his officers and soldiers huddled together in a chaotic manner, and when he boarded up, he was annoyed, and angrily used the whip in his hand to disperse the soldiers at the bow of the ship.

As soon as the more than 100 large and small warships of the Japanese forward fleet heard the order, they became a little confused, and the officers and men of the ships rushed to the battle positions in a panic, and after several moments of effort, they finally reluctantly formed a herringbone attack formation and slowly met the Tang fleet upstream.

When the vanguard fleet of the Japanese State sailed to a place only a few miles away from the Tang army, they found that the Tang army was prepared, and they hesitated for a while and did not dare to force it up, and the already slow speed of the ship was even slower.

"Big brother, Tang Kou's lineup is quite neat, and our army has few ships, so it's better to wait for the main force of the giant god to arrive before attacking." The deputy general of Park Ichi Tian Laijin, who is also his younger brother Pu Ichi Tian Erro, saw that the Tang army was strong and was afraid that the strong attack would be frustrated, so he hurriedly advised his brother.

Although Pu Shitian Laijin is arrogant, but the first time he saw the Tang Army there were so many giant ships, he couldn't help but feel a little weak, but at the beginning he boasted of Haikou in front of a group of generals, saying that he was going to lead the forward army to pick the Tang Army Naval Division, if it is delayed at this time, I am afraid of making jokes, and the face is very difficult to pull down, at this time I listened to his brother's words, and there was no reaction for a long time, and at the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "Go, send a small boat to invite the battle, just say that I Pu Shitian Laijin wants to challenge the Tang Dynasty braves, Let's see who dares to fight me. ”

Although the Tang army has also had heads-up examples in the battle array, but it is very rare, that is, in the early Sui Dynasty when the world was dominant, there were a few times, in the later period, there was basically no heads-up trick, but the country is different, these people often like to show the whole individual martial arts heads-up tricks when they are fighting in the country, every time they fight, they always have to send the warriors in the army to fight a few heads-up, and then go to war, and play the war like a child's house, Pu Shitian Laijin is a character who specializes in this line of work in his country, At this time, it is not surprising that he proposed to fight the Tang Army warriors alone, at least for the Wa State Naval Division, this is an extremely normal thing, but the Tang Army obviously does not see it that way.

"Huh? What are those fools shouting out there? Niu Jinda, who was standing on the deck of the third deck of the flagship of the Chinese army "Weilong", saw that the Japanese naval division did not attack, but released a small boat, and four or five soldiers with loud voices shouted there non-stop.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty had no contact with the Wa State, and the generals did not understand the language of the Wa State at all, and they were all at a loss when they heard Niu Jinda and asked, but a Silla interpreter who accompanied the ship barely understood a few words of the Japanese language, and after listening to it for a while, this was considered to be a general idea, and at this time, seeing that everyone was confused, they hurriedly stood up and said: "General Yu, those Japanese seem to be inviting war, saying that there is a warrior in their army who wants to fight with the Tang Dynasty warriors." ”

"Heads-up? What are you doing? When Niu Jinda heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry when he boarded - he had seen Niu Jinda alone in the land battle, but he had never heard of Niu Jinda in the water battle in his life, so he shook his head angrily and funny, and ordered loudly: "Order, all ships keep the original formation, don't pay attention to the nonsense of the Japanese people." ”

Several Japanese soldiers on the dinghy were insulting and making noise for a long time, but they did not see any reaction from the Tang army, thinking that they had frightened the Tang army, so they happily turned back to their own formation, and loudly announced that Tang Kou were all cowards, which caused the officers and men of the Japanese Navy Division to be so excited that they could not control themselves, and the noise was non-stop, and their morale was thus high to a peak.

"Hahaha...... Tang Kou has no guts, even if there are many, there is no need to be afraid, come, pass the order, all ships will follow the ship forward to assault, be sure to penetrate the enemy formation in one fell swoop!" Seeing that the Tang army did not dare to accept his invitation, Pu Shitian laughed proudly when he came to Jindeng, put the previous caution behind, waved his hand, and gave the order to attack, with the sound of the horn, but seeing the wood pulp paddling, the water splashed loudly, and more than 100 Japanese ships rushed towards the Tang army's ship formation with a nois.

"All ships keep in formation, ready to engage the enemy, there must be no mistakes!" As soon as Niu Jinda saw the Japanese naval division rushing towards him, he waved his hand and issued a battle order, and suddenly the horn in the Tang army fleet sounded violently, and the murderous atmosphere was steaming, and the prelude to the battle of Baicun River began......
