Chapter Twenty-Seven: When the Beacon Goes to War
That night, Wang Ze went to the room where the Baekje general was being held, preparing to interrogate some information about the Baekje sailors.
"Phew! Despicable villain, who uses trickery to kill me, I don't accept it! The general of Baekje was not convinced at all, and as soon as he heard that someone was going to come in, he immediately said wildly, "What a good man has been calculated by 'Yin' schemes, if I am convinced, pull out the men and horses to fight!" β
"Hahaha, don't you know that the general is treacherous! Besides, I am a young boy who is not yet ten years old, but you are the general of the black tooth when you are in the prime of life, are you and I considered fair? Wang Ze unceremoniously entered the room and said to him.
When General Baekje saw that Wang Ze was only eleven or twelve years old, he was a little surprised, and asked, "Who is this boy of yours, and you even know that I am Black-toothed?" "I speculated in my heart, 'Could it be that his soldiers couldn't stop being tortured and confessed.'"
Wang Ze said with a smile: "Of course someone else told me, General Heizhi, this year my clan bought land in Tamna, reclaimed and graze, but Prince Tamna forcibly seized my land, cattle and sheep. Therefore, I do not accept the 'engagement' with him, and now that Tamna has been destroyed by me, I wonder why Baekje is forcibly 'interfering' in the matter of Tamna? β
"Tamna is my Baekje vassal country, you attack Tamna without permission, I am afraid that my king will send a large army to attack under the anger of my king, I advise Xiaolang to retreat earlier!" Blacktooth knows.
"Since I have captured Tamna, I will not leave, this place is already the place where my people have settled down, how can I give up easily! It seems that there is still a battle with the Baekje army! As long as the general and I explain the strength of the Baekje naval army in detail, I will not hurt the general, and I will definitely let the general go back before the battle, even your captured hundred or so personal guards! Wang Ze said to him in a tone full of 'temptation' and 'confusion'.
Blacktooth Mozhi thought for a moment and asked, "Is that really the case?" If you swear to heaven, I will tell you. β
Wang Ze said: "Don't be busy, you have to know, since I know your name, someone must have told me your identity, if what you said is not true, then you are not alone in bad luck!" β
The black-toothed Mozhi suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, and it seemed that he was really ready to use some lies to coax Wang Ze just now.
Later, Wang Ze listened carefully to the slow introduction of the Black Tooth Mozhi and had a general understanding of the Baekje Naval Army:
Although the Baekje naval army had nearly 500 warships in recent years, in the past two decades, the king of Baekje, Fuyuchang, and many ministers have been in a corner.
Devoted to the vigorous development of Wenzhi, and in the previous years, he joined forces with Silla to attack Goguryeo and recaptured some land in the south of the Han River; and the location of the capital city of Sihyeon was quite safe, and the monarchs and ministers had no sense of crisis, but they had not added new ships to the naval division's warships for many years.
Four years ago, the ally Silla betrayed the alliance and raided Baekje despite the centuries-old alliance, resulting in Baekje now looking around its neighbors, and there is no friendly country, and the military pressure is quite great.
Historically, without Wang Ze's involvement, the Baekje Society and the Wa Kingdom formed an alliance against Silla, which had ambitious foreign expansion.
It's a pity that he couldn't resist the two cheeky 'female' kings who appeared in Silla later, and used silk threads to show off an urgent distress letter and send it to the Tang Dynasty, so that Li Zhi, who had always maintained an ambiguous 'spirit' with the two 'female' kings, sent a large army to destroy the grieving Baekje, and severely damaged the Wa kingdom that came to support Baekje at the mouth of the Baijiang River, and finally let Silla pick up a big bargain.
However, this time, with Wang Ze's strong 'insertion' into the East China Sea situation, it is estimated that there will be no such things in the future.
"In other words, Baekje was afraid that there would be a coup d'Γ©tat in Tamna, so he turned to Silla or the Wa Kingdom, which would cut off Baekje's sea route to the Southern Dynasty, so he had to attack?" Wang Ze listened to the words of the black tooth Mozhi and asked.
Blacktooth Mozhi nodded, "That's exactly, but the five hundred warships can be used now only more than three hundred!" β
Hearing this, Wang Ze had the bottom in his heart, there are more than 300 warships, it is impossible for you not to take out a part of the defense of the Goguryeo naval division, right? Silla, you have to be on guard, right?
In this way, at most, there will be a hundred warships, and at most 10,000 soldiers, so the pressure will be much less. Thinking of this, he made up his mind, let the black tooth Mozhi recuperate, and then walked out with Cao An.
In the next ten days, Wang Ze informed Zheng Kui to transfer 2,000 young people, saying that it was of great use, Zheng Kui didn't say a word, and personally led the team to send people over that night.
Originally, Zheng Kui also wanted to stay and help Wang Ze, but there were still thousands of young and strong people and a large number of supplies on the ranch, and Zheng Kui needed to go back to preside, so he rushed back early the next morning, but he brought back the black-toothed Mozhi and others.
In the next few days, the wharf was under martial law, and no one was allowed to approach, and a few days ago, a group of Japanese merchant ships wanted to dock for supplies, but they were driven out by Qu Liulang.
In this way, until the 10th day of the capture of the Black Tooth Mochi, Baekje did not send a sailor to attack. This day happened to be the eighth day of the lunar month, and Wang Ze ordered someone to cook Laba porridge.
Although Jiang Chuan and the others didn't understand what it meant, it was still 'very' comfortable to drink a bowl of warm multigrain porridge on a cold day.
Until the 10th day of the lunar month, Qu Liulang, who had tragically blown a cold wind on the sea for nearly a month, sent someone to spread the word, saying that a large number of sea ships were approaching in the northern seas, and the number was uncountable for a while!
The atmosphere on the island suddenly became tense.
"The black clouds are crushing the city, and the city is 'wanting' to destroy!" Wang Ze took Cao An and Feng Jing and other guards to a nearby high post, and couldn't help but say as he looked at the Baekje warship sailing in the distance.
When the Baekje fleet was still ten miles away from the dock, Qu Rokuro led more than 20 warships to attack from the flanks and rear.
The Baekje fleet immediately sent out more than 50 ships to meet Qu Rokuro, and hundreds of other warships were heading towards the shore.
Seeing this, Feng Jing, who was following Wang Ze, couldn't help but take a breath and said, "I didn't expect this Baekje sailor to be so powerful!" β
"Yes, after all, it has been a maritime power for hundreds of years!" Wang Ze couldn't help but feel envious for a while, and decided to continue to build better, bigger and faster sea ships.
Isn't it just that the country was established so early for hundreds of years, and in a few years, see if the master's sea fleet will not blow up these broken ships!
In the distance, there was the sound of horns, drums, and fights.
The fleet led by Qu Rokuro retreated after a battle, and although it was difficult to see the situation, it was inferred that rockets were being fired based on the continuous fire on the Baekje warship that was fighting against him.
At this time, hundreds of Baekje warships docked one after another on the seashore, and the soldiers on board rushed down from the gangplanks of the ships one by one, and the teams gradually gathered neatly.
Since he had learned that some of Baekje's large ships would be equipped with trebuchets, Kang Chuan, who was in charge of the battlefield, built fortifications two miles away from the pier.
With the increase in the number of registered soldiers, a group of about 2,000 Baekje soldiers under the command of several Baekje generals began to advance ashore.
Jiang Chuan, who was patrolling his own battalions, saw the Baekje people approaching and hurriedly returned to the Chinese army. After turning around just now, I found that there was no problem, and even the militia were all excited, and it seemed that they had plucked up their confidence when they fought the Tamna people.
Seeing that the Baekje people were slowly advancing towards the shore, Jiang Chuan ordered the crossbow and arrow battalion to prepare, and the 'bed' crossbow and hard crossbow were ready to be wound and aimed at the 'shooting' realm.
After all, the Baekje people often fought against Goguryeo and other countries for a long time, and the army had very rich combat experience, so the 2,000 Baekje soldiers stopped when they came to a place more than 300 meters away from Jiangchuan's headquarters, and just deployed their defenses on the spot to prevent a sudden attack on the shore.
It wasn't until an hour later that all the Baekje troops disembarked, and there were more than 10,000 people, and Wang Ze's face was silent, but his heart sank suddenly.
There are 10,000 people who have already disembarked alone, and if you connect the warships chasing Qu Liulang and the sailors on the hundreds of warships on the shore, I am afraid that there will be almost 20,000 at this time.
However, the development of the battle situation is always unpredictable, and at this time, a Baekje general on a large sea ship in the Baekje fleet disembarked under the escort of hundreds of personal guards.
"It seems that this Baekje general should be Gao Canghai, a close confidant of the king of Baekje." Although Wang Ze couldn't see people clearly when he stood on the high post, judging from the banner behind the Baekje general, it was judged that it should be the famous Baekje general confessed by the Black Tooth Mozhi.
"General, there are only three or four thousand mobs on the shore, waiting to be armed and stubbornly resisted! We are afraid of an ambush, so we have already fortified in front of us! But it was the first Baekje generals to come ashore to report.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, the Baekje general looked at Jiang Chuan's headquarters in the distance, and saw some soldiers standing on the crude fortifications in the distance, but they did not even have uniform clothing, and some even wore long robes.
Baekje General Gao Canghai looked at the defenders in the distance, smiled slightly, and then scolded the generals who came to report: "Originally, the army came here because the king thought that Tamna had been occupied by the Silla Wa Kingdom, so I ordered all the troops to be careful in case they fell into the Silla Wa Kingdom's plan to 'lure' the enemy. Now that there are just some 'chaotic' people on the shore, why not attack earlier! β
Immediately, Gao Canghai ordered the first 2,000 soldiers to land as the front army and began to attack inland.
Unlike when the Tamna attacked the pastures, they rushed up in a noisy manner, the front army of the Baekje people was led by sword and shield soldiers, and the jumping 'swinging' soldiers were hidden between the sword and shield soldiers, followed by pikemen, and then archers.
Because they came by boat, Tamna did not have a castle to defend, and the Baekje people did not bring siege equipment.
As the front army of Baekje gradually approached, Jiang Chuan ordered the young man who had just shown weakness at the front to turn around, and then 'switch' positions with the 'elite' and sharp behind him.
It turned out that Jiang Chuan thought that the army under his command was relatively weak, so he resorted to arrogant tactics to make the Baekje army think that he and others were just ordinary people, so that the Baekje people became a light enemy, and then it was possible to catch the Baekje people off guard.
However, even standing at the back of the team, the new young men under Jiang Chuan were still a little uneasy.
Seeing that it would not work to go on like this, and that they had to be given courage, Jiang Chuan ordered the 'bed' crossbow to prepare for 'shooting' the attack, and seeing that the enemy had entered the 'shooting' area of 200 meters, he immediately ordered the 'bed' crossbow to 'shoot' and attack.
More than 100 soldiers in charge of the 'bed' crossbow of the crossbow battalion were immediately ready, and then smashed the cardinal with a hammer, only to see more than 30 'bed' crossbows 'shoot' out like lightning.
