On Tsushima Island, Wang An's Brigade is also making pre-war preparations.

"Shi Qin, how is the evacuation going?"

Shi Qin trotted over and said, "Brigade commander, the people have been evacuated, and there is still some food and houses left...... Do you want to burn it? ”

Wang An waved his hand and said, "If you don't burn it, it's all left to the Baekje people." ”

Shi Qin said in surprise: "Huh? ”

Wang An said: "To be a man, you have to understand whether you understand or not, they will soon become our prisoners, and they will probably have to pay their lives for the infrastructure of our Tang Kingdom." ”

"For such people, we can't be too stingy. Give them some sweetness before they become slaves, so that they will never be able to eat such delicious things again. ”

Shi Qin really wanted to say, can we fool around with Brigade Commander Lin Xingzhu less in the future, but I didn't learn this yin and yang weirdness.

"Then let people board now?"

"What are you waiting for, board the ship, board the ship, and inform the regiment commanders and battalion commanders to come to the flagship for a meeting."

"Yes."

The logistics staff on the island had already withdrawn a few days ago, and there were only five thousand fighters left, and the retreat was carried out very quickly.

Soon everyone boarded the warship, leaving only an empty island.

On the flagship ship, Wang An held a pair of nautical charts to convey the battle plan.

"Today's protagonists are gunboats, and in order to reduce unnecessary losses, in principle, the rest of the ships are not allowed to engage in broadside battles with Baekje warships."

The rest of the generals were very unwilling, and finally managed to get a serious battle, but they were not allowed to make a move.

But they knew better than anyone the might of the gunboats and did not dare to jump out against it.

With gunboats, the so-called broadside battles are doomed to obsolescence, and there is no need to practice at all.

Forcibly using such backward tactics to fight the enemy, not to hone combat effectiveness but to disregard human life, this is what Wen Yi said.

"Our tactics are just two words, pull. Take advantage of the ship's maneuverability, and use our more skillful ship handling skills to pull with the enemy's main warship. ”

"Then look for an opportunity to attack the enemy with the superiority of weapons, and at the same time give the gunboats a chance to destroy the enemy."

"It's ridiculous that the people of Baekje think that with a new set of sails, they can wrestle with us. Today, we are going to tell them with facts that not everyone can control the new warship. ”

"This battle will determine who will be the master of the ocean in the future, so let's create this future with our own hands."

The crowd shouted in unison: "Victory." ”

Wang An shouted: "Order the whole army to raise anchor." ”

……

When Mu Lie led his army to Tsushima Island, he saw the Tang warships that were waiting for battle.

One of his subordinates said, "General, it seems that the Tang people have been prepared for a long time. ”

Mu Lie seemed to have expected it, and said: "If the Tang army has not discovered the movement of our army until now, then there will be a problem, but even if they are prepared, what can they do?" ”

"Our army has an absolute superiority in strength, and it relies on him to have only 5,000 people, and it can't make much waves."

The subordinate reminded: "There are still 5,000 defenders on Treasure Island, and we need to be prepared. ”

Mu Lie said: "I know, the herald asked Xie Lik to lead his headquarters to the direction of Treasure Island to be on guard. ”

"Yes."

"Summoned the Chuan Long Cloud Department to assist in landing on the island."

"Yes."

The Tang army built a strong fortress on the island, and it was not so easy to attack it, and the Baekje people had long been prepared for a bloody battle.

In this battle, they dispatched a total of 40,000 people, 20,000 regular sailors, 20,000 army troops, and brought the army over to attack the city.

More than 200 large ships were all sailors, and more than 500 small ships were on the army.

Strictly speaking, these boats should not be called boats, they are small sampans. Some of them are even wooden hulls made in the shape of boats, without oars, and are all dragged by large boats.

Mu Lie's plan was to pioneer the Tang Army's naval warships and then attack the islands.

If the Tang warships dare to come to the rescue, it would be even better, a direct Armageddon.

If the Tang warships do not come to the rescue, they can only watch them take down the fortress of Tsushima.

With Tsushima as a foothold, they won half the battle.

The first step of the plan was very successful, and the Don battleships saw them coming and fled into the distance early.

He didn't have any intention of pursuing, so he let people land on the island first.

However, the truth turned out to be unexpected, and they easily occupied the island and took over everything on it without encountering any resistance.

“…… The island was deserted, and large quantities of grain were seized, much of which was meat. ”

Mu Lie said mockingly: "Even the food was lost? That's a hasty retreat, haha...... I overestimated the Tang Army. ”

A staff officer flattered: "The general's prestige spreads far and wide, so that the Tang army will flee from the wind." ”

"Haha......" Mu Lie was proud in his heart, but he did not forget his form, and said: "We also need to guard against other conspiracies of the Tang army, so that Xie Like's whole army can land on the island and build fortifications......"

"Yes."

"Are the Tang warships still there?"

"Yes, still peeking at our army from a distance."

"I really don't know whether to live or die, let Maxiong try to go around from Tsushima Island to the rear of the Tang fleet. Tell him that he doesn't have to force it, he can block it if he can, and don't force it if he can't block it. ”

"Yes."

Soon more than 30 warships broke away from the main force and went around the flank of the Don army against the island.

Their every move was watched by the lookout hand holding the binocular, and they were immediately sent to Wang An.

"Brigade commander, the Baekje people have landed on the island to occupy the fortress and build fortifications on it."

"Haha...... Okay, this is the turtle that jumped into the urn on its own initiative. ”

"Brigade commander, thirty-two enemy ships broke away from the large force and went around the island......"

"This is to attack our flank, so that the results of the Seventeenth Regiment can meet him. I tell you the results and pull it. ”

After receiving the order, he led fifteen ships to break away from the large force and go to intercept them.

Relying on the benefit of the glasses, he discovered the other party one step in advance, seized the upper hand early, and made tactical arrangements:

"We'll rush past the enemy ships later, crossbows and catapults ready to attack at the staggered time."

"The catapult is going to throw the canister out of the fire...... The archers were also ready to shoot the rockets as soon as possible. ”

As the orders were passed down one after another, the Tang army quickly prepared.

On the other side, Zhenxiong Li also discovered Wang An's fleet, and he was not surprised that he was discovered, if the Tang army did not deploy defensive forces on the flank, it would be abnormal.

It's just that I saw that the other party only had fifteen ships, and although two of them were bigger than my own boats, I had more than double the number of my own boats.

The disparity in power was huge, and he originally thought that Tang Jun would escape, but found that this was not the case. The other party was actually seizing the upper hand, and he sneered:

"Do you think that only you can sail against the wind, let me teach you what modesty is today. Raise your sails and launch an attack on the enemy fleet. ”

'Woo~~~' The horn of the ox sounded, and it took about a quarter of an hour for the fleet to adjust the sails and set up the formation, and rushed towards the Tang army with murderous spirit.
