0430 First Battle

As mentioned earlier, Wu Heng was one of the few people in the Tang State who could conduct a large corps battle, so Wen Yi asked him to be in charge of commanding the war in Liaodong.

Hearing that Murong Ping took Emperor Murong Wei to Dragon City, he was not only not worried, but very excited. I thought I could only hit the corners, but I didn't expect pies to fall from the sky.

"Originally, the minister was going to go up the Liao River, take Liaodong County and Liaoxi County, and then wait for the opportunity to seize Xuanwu County and Lelang County, but now it seems that the combat method is going to change."

Wen Yi guessed his plan, but still asked cooperatively, "How is General Wu going to fight?" ”

Wu Heng smashed his fist on the location of the map Dragon City and said: "The minister is ready to land from Liaodong Bay, surround Dragon City before the Yan people react, and capture the puppet Yan Emperor Murong Wei alive." ”

Wen Yi laughed and said, "Haha...... General Wu is old and strong, I am waiting for your good news. ”

The rest of the people were envious, let alone captured alive, even if they killed Murong Wei, it would be a great achievement. I don't dare to say anything else, the position of the national prince is stable.

However, Wen Yi did not immediately send troops, but stepped up his training while waiting for further news.

Huan Wen and Murong Chui opened their positions at Fangtou and fell into a protracted war of attrition, one side attacked fiercely, and the other side could not hold out.

Even if Huan Wen has the advantage of being a sailor, there is nothing he can do about it for a while. He tried to send small forces to attack the enemy's logistical supply lines from land.

However, he was outflanked several times by Murong De with superior cavalry, losing his troops and finally having to give up this idea.

However, Murong Chui was also confined to Fangtou and could not move, and a large area of Qingzhou fell into the hands of another partial army led by Huan Chong.

Murong Chui didn't have time to take care of these at all, he knew that the place that would decide the outcome was Fangtou, and it didn't matter if the land was in other places.

If you lose it, you will lose it, as long as you can win the battle, you can take it back later. If you can't win the battle, the country will die, and it doesn't matter if the land there is lost or not.

So he simply didn't care about the affairs there, but just urged the Qin State to send troops as soon as possible.

The Qin State also had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so it was reluctant to send troops for a long time, and it was delayed until the autumn that reinforcements were sent, and it was Wang Meng who personally went on the expedition.

They were divided into two routes, one way 20,000 led by Gou Chi and Deng Qiang to attack Yuzhou in the rear of the Jin army, and all the other 50,000 led by Wang Meng to relieve the siege of Fangtou.

Hearing that Qin sent troops, Wen Yi finally stopped waiting and ordered the troops.

More than 2,000 warships, transport ships, and troop carriers covered the sea. There are no small sampans in there, and almost all of them are large ships over 20 meters old.

It is impossible for so many ships to depart at the same time, it must be carried out in batches and in an orderly manner.

The first to be dispatched was He Fang, whose task was to lead 50,000 sailors into Huaishui.

But before that, they had another mission, to take Donglai Kingdom and provide a landing base for the follow-up army.

Donglai Kingdom is on the part of the Shandong Peninsula that protrudes, and belongs to the boundary between Weihai and Yantai.

The second group set off was the Liaodong Army led by Wu Heng.

The third group set off after an interval of one day, and it was 50,000 people led by Liu Meng. Wen Yi was dispatched with the fourth batch of 50,000 people.

……

Baekje is also a big maritime trade country, and since the last time it was defeated by the Tang State, they no longer dare to blow up their hair, but their attention to the Tang State has not diminished at all.

Such a big movement can't hide it from them at all, Tang Guo is so laborious, even fools know what they are going to do.

Baekje King Fuyu Ju immediately found his henchman Sha Ai to discuss the matter.

Sha Ai said: "The Central Plains Yan, Qin, and Jin are in a scuffle, and the Tang State must want to take advantage of the chaos to intervene in the Central Plains, and the direction in which they send troops should be to sneak attack the empty rear of the Yan State." ”

Fuyu said: "Can we take the opportunity to send troops to Xuansu and Liaodong ......?"

Sha Ai hurriedly said: "By all means, there are unknown weapons in the Tang Kingdom, and if we rashly intervene and provoke them, the consequences will be very serious." ”

"And Emperor Yan is in Dragon City at this time, and he also brought back 100,000 troops from the Central Plains, even if we don't consider the reaction of the Tang Kingdom, it will be difficult for us to get benefits in his hands."

"The best thing to do is to wait for the situation in the Central Plains to clear, and we are on camera."

The so-called camera walk, to put it bluntly, is to take refuge in whoever wins, which is their consistent policy.

Fuyu said unwillingly: "I am really unwilling to let go of such a great opportunity in vain." ”

Sha Ai persuaded: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, our strength is too weak at this time, and dormant is the best policy." ”

Wen Yi also knew that he couldn't hide it from Baekje, so he didn't want to hide it from them at all. However, to be on the safe side, an army was stationed on Tsushima and Tamna to keep an eye on it.

It's okay if Baekje doesn't engage in ghosts, but if there is any abnormal movement, I don't mind using them to practice first.

……

Let's say that He Fang led his army to the Bohai Sea, docked near the Long Island Islands, which had been built long ago, and then sent the Wenmu Brigade to land on the island to fight.

Wenmu's original name was Kuroki, one of Yueshan's personal guards, and he made a lot of achievements when he exterminated the three slang people of Jin'an.

Later, he changed his name to Wenmu, and he was the second batch of generals who were promoted to brigade commanders, and he was also the old qualification of the Tang Army, so He Fang would hand over the first battle to him.

Wenmu also knew the importance of this battle, and after landing on the island, he didn't care about anything, and led his troops to Dongmu County.

The people they met on the road knew that war was coming when they saw a strange army, and they took refuge in the wilderness, and most of them quickly took refuge in the wilderness with their families after returning to the village.

Of course, there is no shortage of people who want to fight and go to the county seat to report to the official.

Hearing that there was an enemy in the direction of the seaside, the officials of Dongmu County did not believe it at first, but when they saw more and more news coming, they had to believe it.

Then the poor prefectural magistrate fainted.

What are you saying?

It turns out that Dongmu County is not a strategic place, and even because of the serious salinization of the land near the sea, it is regarded as chicken ribs by Yan Guo, and it has not been taken care of at all.

The walls are very low, only more than four meters to defend against thieves, and there are no moats or anything like that.

Coupled with the Huanwen Northern Expedition, the troops from all over the country were transferred to the front line to resist the Jin army, and there was not even a single defender in Dongmu County, only two or three hundred soldiers.

Relying on this, it is simply a joke for people to want to defend Dongmu County.

But as a county commander, he has the responsibility of defending the land, and according to the laws and regulations prevailing in various countries, as the chief official, those who abandon the city and flee for whatever reason will be beheaded, and their families will be punished.

That is to say, he is dead horizontally and vertically.

When he fainted, his men panicked, and they finally woke him up by pinching people and pouring cold water.

As soon as he woke up, he shouted, "I'm ...... when the heavens die." It must be the sailors of the Jin Kingdom, and only they can attack from the sea, what can I do. ”

He can't run away, others can, and the rest of the officials and rich people who got the news have already begun to pack up their belongings and run away.

It's just that they still underestimated the marching speed of the Tang army, and the Tang army, which had realized the mule and horse, even the advance speed of the infantry was extremely fast.

Before they could even wrap the package, Wenmu had already led people outside the city.
