At the end of the watch, a small fleet of ten small boats, carrying 100 soldiers, gradually approached Tamna Island.

"Is this it?" Lin Rui asked, pointing to a fjord in the distance.

Meng Yuanwai nodded, "This is here, this is called Dongpu, and the small island outside is called Niu Island, which can just shelter the wind and waves, and is very suitable for mooring big ships." ”

"How far is it from their capital when they come ashore?"

"Far away! This is the easternmost place, and the capital of their country, Tamna City, is in the northernmost part, about fifty miles apart, but from here it is a grassland to the west, which is very suitable for marching. ”

"All the fishing boats you said are here?"

"Yes, right here!"

According to Meng Yuanwai's introduction, the king of Tamna did not allow his subjects to go out to sea to fish privately, so he concentrated the fishing boats on the whole island in Dongpu and had a special person in charge of management.

Lin Rui's mission tonight is to destroy these fishing boats and prevent the fishermen on the island from escaping.

Of course, in addition to the fishing boats, there were more than a dozen boats moored in the bay outside Tamna City in the north, which was also Lin Rui's target tonight.

As the fleet sailed into the fjord, getting closer and closer to the shore, Meng Yuanwai became more and more familiar, and he pointed ahead: "You can see the fishing boats when you turn the corner ahead." ”

The fleet rounded a reef and suddenly saw that in a very narrow inlet, densely packed with small boats, there were at least two hundred of them, most of them about 300 stone offshore fishing boats, about 200 steps away from them.

Lin Rui waved his hand, the fleet stopped moving forward, and Lin Rui said to one of his generals: "Do it!" ”

With a wave of the general's hand, more than fifty soldiers rowed their oars, and five small boats headed for the inlet.

Lin Rui led another fifty people ashore, and they targeted a few stone houses on the shore in the distance, where there were a dozen officers guarding the soldiers and managing the ships.

One of the stone houses was brightly lit, laughter could be heard from inside, and from the window, a dozen small soldiers were gathering together to drink, and no weapons were visible around them, and fifty soldiers quickly surrounded the stone house.

Lin Rui gave an order, "Kill!" ”

Several soldiers kicked open the door, and the Song soldiers entered, and there was a scream inside, and it was quiet for only a moment, and more than a dozen soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

The soldiers searched several other stone houses, and soon a middle-aged man, with small hair, and a short official uniform, was arrested, and looked like a monkey.

This person was the official in charge of the ships, he was trembling with fright, his mouth was whimpering, and he didn't know what he was saying, Meng Yuanwai whispered: "He said that you can take all the ships, and only beg for his life!" ”

Lin Rui snorted, "You asked him, apart from here, there are fishing boats anywhere else?" ”

Meng Yuanwai asked again, and then said to Lin Rui: "He said that there are a total of two hundred and fifty-two fishing boats, all of which are concentrated here, and there are no other places?" ”

"What kind of official is he?"

Meng Yuanwai asked the official again and said to Lin Rui: "He said that he is a ship commander, responsible for managing the ships on the island, just a petty official, and he still has a wife and children to support at home." ”

Lin Rui nodded, "Take him away!" ”

The soldiers tied up the officer and took him away like a chicken.

At this time, there was a muffled explosion in the inlet, and the soldiers blew up the boat with thistles, although they were not very powerful, but several porcelain thistles were tied together, enough to blow a hole in the bottom of the boat.

After a while, the fishing boats began to sink rapidly, and after half an hour, all the boats disappeared from the water.

Lin Rui and his men continued to drive north along the shore........

As the day began to dawn, a huge fleet of ships appeared on the sea about thirty miles away from Tamna Island, and the fleet was heading towards Ushijima, the easternmost island.

On the deck, Zhao Zongshi was interrogating the captured officials in charge of the ships, and in a night operation last night, Lin Rui led his men to destroy all the ships on Tamna Island, making it impossible for the islanders to escape.

From this official's mouth, more detailed information was obtained, including the morale of the army, the situation of the Japanese samurai on the island, the situation of the ministers, the situation of the king, and the distribution of the population, industry, and contacts with Goryeo in the Tamna Kingdom, which were not available to Meng Yuanwai.

For example, what Fanning is most concerned about is the contact between Tamna and Goryeo, and the Tamna country pays tribute to Goryeo around January every year, and there are basically no other contacts, and the reason why Goryeo invaded Tamna was because Tamna stopped paying tribute to Goryeo.

From this point, Fanning can be sure that Goryeo does not have the ability and strong desire to annex Tamna, as long as no one in Tamna flees to Goryeo, and the news blockade is effective, then at least for a year, Goryeo will not find that Tamna Island has been captured by the Great Song Dynasty.

The Song army was not worried about a fight with Goryeo, but they needed time.

The fleet finally sailed into the Ushido Fjord, and then split in two, and hundreds of large ships continued north to circle the northern part of Tamna Island, continuing to block the sea.

Lin Rui led 5,000 troops to land in Dongpu, and he ordered the general Yang Xuxiu to be the vanguard and led 500 soldiers to kill Tamna City.

The task of this vanguard was to lure the army of Tanguo City out of the city.

Tamna City is no longer the same as the situation known to Meng Yuanwai, there are no civilians in the city, it is completely a military city, in addition to the stationing of 2,000 soldiers, there are also 300 Japanese pirates.

Fanning's ship was moored in the sea off Tamna City, and the black spots in the city could be faintly seen, at this time, Xu Qing stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Little official, do you think the army of Tamna will be fooled?" ”

Fanning shook his head, "It's too loud, it's like knocking on a turtle's shell with a sledgehammer, the turtle's head will definitely retract, in fact, last night's army sneak attack on Tamna City, I think it's a better choice." ”

"Since siege warfare is inevitable!"

Xu Qing smiled: "Did I have a chance to show my skills?" ”

Fanning glanced back at him and said lightly, "Be careful yourself!" ”

Xu Qing clasped his fists and saluted, then ran to the port side, and soon, the big boat lowered a small sampan, and two soldiers drove Xu Qing to the shore.

………..

As Fanning had judged, the Song army was shocked by the sheer force of the Song army, but in fact, after dozens of ships sank overnight on the docks outside Tamna, King Gao Bo realized that something was wrong and took all the troops stationed outside the city back into the city.

But Gao Bo never imagined that it would be the Song army attacking, and he thought that the Goryeo army was coming.

But even the Goryeo army was terrified in his heart, and he urgently ordered the army to defend Tamna City.

Tamna City is actually a castle, built on high ground, the city is very small, covering an area of no more than a few tens of acres, with deep trenches dug around it, only a drawbridge connected to the outside world, the city wall is tall and strong, and it is full of soldiers.

More than ten years ago, the Goryeo army invaded the country of Tamna, and it was because they could not capture this castle that they negotiated peace with the other party.

At this time, the five hundred forwards of the Song army had already been killed, and they were assembled two miles away, they did not wear Song army armor, but wore cloth clothes, and held all kinds of wooden sticks, iron forks, long knives and other rudimentary weapons, looking like a group of extremely vicious pirates.

The people of Tamna were generally short in stature and lacked in force, and although they had 2,000 soldiers, they were very weak in their will to fight, and they did not dare to go out of the city to fight in the face of 500 vicious pirates.

Gao Bo stood at the head of the city and watched this pirate army of hundreds of people, he was very puzzled in his heart, this group of people did not look like the Goryeo army, and they did not look like Japanese pirates, who were they?

Although he was fierce and cruel, lustful and lascivious, he was also very cunning, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this pirate army, why didn't they plunder the population and rob the common people, but they were bent on attacking Tamna? This is not at all pirate style.

No matter how provocative this bandit army was, Gao Bo just stood still, and at this time, a soldier ran to report in a low voice: "Countless large ships have been found on the sea!" ”

Gao Bo was taken aback, and he immediately realized that the hundreds of robbers who were provoking must be traps, and he immediately ordered: "No matter how provocative the enemy is, you are not allowed to fight!" ”

From the noon provocation to the afternoon, the soldiers in Tamna City just refused to come out to fight, Lin Rui had no choice but to order: "The whole army attack!" ”

The five thousand Song troops who were lying in ambush ten miles south of the city came out of the woods, and the low sound of the horn sounded, 'Woo-', the sound of the horn resounded throughout the field.

5,000 soldiers marched in formation towards Tamna City, their armor neatly armored, spears like a forest, and to the sound of war drums, the army marched neatly north, especially murderous.

Looking at the thousands of troops that were pressed and killed by the black press, the soldiers at the head of the city trembled with fright, in their opinion, this was simply a heavenly soldier descending to earth, but Gao Bo suddenly understood that this was the Song army, and only the army of the Song Dynasty would be so powerful.

"King, let's surrender!" One of the generals suggested tremblingly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a long knife pierced the general's chest from behind, the general screamed, fell to the ground and died, a shaved head of the moon generation, a Japanese samurai with a full face appeared in front of Gao Bo, his name is Hirano Ying, is the second son of Hirano Yoshi, the lord of Nagasaki, he led three hundred Japanese samurai to garrison Tamna, nominally to support Gao Bo, but in fact he also wanted to plot Tamna Island, and used Tamna Island as a springboard for the western front of the northern invasion of Goryeo.

The Nagasaki Japanese have always used Tsushima Island as a springboard to invade the Busan area of the Goryeo Kingdom, and the Goryeo Kingdom has stationed tens of thousands of troops on the Busan line for this purpose, and in order to break the defensive line of the Goryeo Army, the landing on the western front has become the established strategy of the Japanese forces, and the capture of Tamna Island has become the most important part of this strategy.

Instigating Gao Bo to kill his father and brother, supporting his extravagant life, supporting his reckless military force, supporting his brutal rule, and supporting him to kill all his ministers, Hirano Yoshi's everything was done to bring the Tamna Kingdom to its own destruction.

According to the plan, in three years at most, the Tamna Kingdom will completely collapse, and at that time, it will be the moment when the Nagasaki army enters the Tamna Island, but Hirano Yoshishi never dreamed that the Song Dynasty would take the lead and send troops to pick his fruit.

Hirano Ying's eyes were red, and he shouted: "You must defend the castle to the death, you must not surrender, the castle has fallen, it is your death!" ”

Gao Bo's face turned pale, so he had to shout loudly and order the army to defend the city with all their might.

The 5,000 army lined up in formation a mile away, Lin Rui looked at the trench that was ten zhang wide, and then looked at the sturdy and towering city wall, Lin Rui was also a little big, this sturdy castle was really difficult to capture.
