"What! Our migrant ship was attacked by the Baekjes? When Wang Ze was more than ten miles away from Jeju Island, he received the bad news from Xu Ti, who was patrolling the waters near Jeju Island, that the Baekje people not only attacked their own migrant boats, but also killed many civilians.

With a "bang", Wang Ze angrily pulled out his horizontal knife and cut off a wooden stake tied to the cable on the side of the ship, "Baekje Xiao'er deceived me and didn't dare to slaughter his entire clan?" Wang Ze gasped and scolded.

According to the intelligence analysis obtained before, with the increase of his power in the East China Sea, the Baekje people are likely to unite with Silla to deal with him, but Wang Zegang was a little unimpressed when he saw this intelligence analysis.

After all, the number of troops under his command is more than that of the Baekje people, and the combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Baekje people, and the Baekje people and the Silla people have a deep hatred, even if they are united, it is impossible to cooperate sincerely, so where is there any need to fear that the Baekje people will oppose him.

However, what Wang Zewan did not expect was that the Baekje people would be so insidious, since they could not defeat their own army, they went to attack their own transport fleet, hijacked their own ships, not to mention that they even killed their own people, it can be said that once they turned their faces, they left no room for anything.

When Wang Ze was angry, Zhang Hang, Liu Wancheng, Ji Xiang, Yan Xiaowu, Zhu Bofu, Cheng Hu and others on the boat rushed over after hearing the movement, and they were also quite curious about why Wang Ze was angry, and they pricked up their ears one by one to listen.

It is the first time for Zhang Hang to see Wang Ze so angry, and some people may think that joy and anger can achieve great things, but Zhang Hang believes that Wang Ze will be angry because some ordinary people are attacked by enemy troops, which shows that even ordinary people have a certain status in Wang Ze's heart, and such people must be worth following.

Seeing Wang Ze's angry appearance, Xu Ti, the captain of the navy under Sun Xing, stood cautiously to the side, so Zhang Hang, who was relatively old, opened his mouth and asked Xu Ti: "Captain Xu, what is the situation, please tell us so!" ”

Hearing Zhang Hang ask, everyone next to him was also very concerned about this issue.

Although Xu Ti did not have relatives or friends on this group of migrant boats, he was also very sad and angry about the Baekje people's attack on his own migrant boats, and he said in a low voice: "We have a group of migrant boats that were attacked by the Baekje people, and lost more than 5,000 people, according to those who escaped, at least hundreds of people on these ships were killed on the spot by the Baekje people because of their resistance!" Ships also lost almost twenty! ”

Before Xu Ti finished speaking, Zhang Hang and the others couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, they were killed and captured by the Baekje people at one time, and more than 5,000 people were taken away, plus the loss of nearly 20 ships, the loss this time was too great!

Although most of the people on the ships transporting the migrants were ordinary people who had migrated to the East China Sea from Qizhou, Qingzhou and other places, a small number of them were the families and friends of ordinary soldiers in various armies, and they could not be unconcerned.

Seeing that the general's face changed drastically, Xu Ti continued to whisper: "At that time, when this fleet set off from Jiaozhou Port, there were more than 30 ships, and a total of nearly 8,000 immigrants were carried. ”

At that time, in addition to transporting immigrants, the main task of this new batch of ships was to transport a batch of supplies from the port of Jiaozhou, so these ships were loaded with relatively small people, and as a result, they escaped because they were faster when the Baekje attacked, and the other ships were basically old ships that had been purchased or captured in the past few years, so they were all captured by the Baekje people.

At this time, Wang Ze also slowly calmed down, he slowly walked in front of Xu Ti, clenched his hands tightly and asked: "Before, the people of Baekje wanted to turn against us, didn't it mean that the transportation of people from Jiaozhou Port has been suspended?" Why did they send this group of people again, and when the Baekje people attacked Jeju Island, didn't the Jiaoju port receive the news that the Baekje people were going to war with us? ”

It is said that as soon as the Baekje people attacked Jeju Island, Du Sheng, who was stationed on Jeju Island at that time, had to send ships to deliver news to both Jinjin and Jiaogang, so that the two places could arrange whether to send reinforcements or arrange warships to escort the convoy carrying supplies according to the needs of the war situation.

In the past, the migrant ships transported from Jiaozhou to the East China Sea were generally escorted by warships sent by the navy of Jiaozhou Port for 200 miles and then returned, while the Jeju Island navy patrolled all year round near an island about 300 miles northwest of Jeju Island, and there were hundreds of miles of sea area in the middle without escort.

However, although there are no warships to escort this part of the sea, because it is far from the shores of various places, there are not many pirates who come to plunder! The small number of pirates posed no threat to the hordes of transports, so the crowd did not pay any attention.

Seeing Wang Ze's seemingly calm demeanor, Zhu Bofu and Cheng Hu, who have always known Wang Ze very well, know very well that this is a manifestation of Wang Ze's anger reaching a very deep level.

Xu Ti replied cautiously: "Originally, Sanqi was not prepared to send a ship here, but is it because we are going to start a war against the Japanese Kingdom?" Many soldiers are ready to let their families come to the East China Sea in advance, so that after the war is over, they can be allocated their own land for reclamation as soon as possible, so that they can have a harvest next year! ”

Wang Ze was a little speechless, he couldn't imagine that he still had his own responsibilities in this, although it was a good thing that these soldiers had confidence in their victory over the Japanese country, but brothers, you were too anxious! Wouldn't it be better to wait another month? Of course, you can think like this, Wang Ze can't say it!

Wang Ze looked up at Jeju New Port, which was getting closer and closer, and then looked at Xu Ti and said, "Didn't Du Sheng send a ship to inform Jiaozhou Port?" "If it is Du Sheng's responsibility this time, I can't say that I have to make up my mind to rectify the navy.

"Captain Du Shengdu also sent a fast ship to Jiaozhou Port to report the news, but he was surrounded by this group of Baekje people halfway, and he failed to notify Jiaozhou Port in time, in fact, even if he went to inform Jiaozhou Port, this group of ships has already gone to sea and will also encounter the hands of Baekje people!"

Some people may say that the clipper sent by Du Sheng can meet the warship from Jiaozhou Port halfway, so that this tragedy can be avoided? However, the sea voyage in ancient times was not the highway of later generations, and where was the ship on the vast sea so easy to touch.

Xu Ti said with some sadness: "This time, after the Baekje and Silla people joined forces, the naval army of Jeju Island had to concentrate all its forces to fight against the combined forces of the two countries, but the Jiaozhou port did not receive information and did not send reinforcements, and as a result, this group of transport ships met the Baekje naval army more than 200 miles northwest of Jeju Island, and this evil result was born!" ”

Listening to Xu Ti's narration, all the generals sighed, although they had suffered a great setback in Sanqi before, but they had been very smooth in the East China Sea all along, and they didn't expect such a tragedy to happen today, and they didn't know what kind of situation it would be like for thousands of people to fall into the hands of the Baekje people.

Wang Ze paced back and forth on the thick deck, and suddenly he slapped the side of the boat angrily and said, "Then why don't Sun Xing, Du Sheng, and Zong Li come to tell me in person now!" Afraid of being reprimanded by me, they deliberately sent you, an innocent man, to tell me! ”

Xu Ti lowered his head and said carefully: "Little Hou Ye, General Sun, Du Du Lieutenant and Zong Du Lieutenant went to chase the trouble of the fleeing Baekje Naval Army, and now I can't figure it out and now I have gone to find the Baekje Naval Army that has kidnapped our people!" ”

"What? Now that tens of thousands of Baekje Silla troops are concentrated on the island, are they still in the mood to find that Baekje sailor? Wang Ze was angry when he heard Xu Ti's words, and now the first plan is to completely defeat the coalition forces on Jeju Island first, and then exchange these prisoners of war for his own people.

But Xu Ti only said one word, and Wang Ze shut up, "The ship transporting the immigrants has the family of Zong Lizong Lieutenant on it!" ”

Family, these two words may not matter in the eyes of some people, Wang Ze may have had a similar mood before the crossing, but since the crossing, Wang Ze has realized more and more the heaviness and concern contained in these two words.

One can imagine what kind of mood Zong Li will feel when he learns that his family may encounter accidents!

When he had just captured Jinan City, Qu Liulang was ordered by himself to patrol the Jishui River and expel the ships of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Later, the East China Sea was empty, and soon after the Battle of Jinan City, Zong Li followed himself and Qu Liulang to the East China Sea, and he and his old family stayed in Changguang County to live, and this stay was three years, and even if he went back, he only stayed for a few days.

Just this year, when Wang Ze decided to launch a large-scale attack on the Wa State, because now Wang Ze did not have to worry about the problem of insufficient land distribution, so he opened the policy of exchanging war exploits for land, and Zong Li was ready to exchange more than 1,000 mu of land for the war exploits accumulated in the previous years, and then take his family over for a good reunion.

Originally, everything was fine, and the Wa Kingdom was about to be defeated, and the land could be successfully obtained, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in front of me!

As he spoke, the ships entered Jeju New Port, which was completely destroyed during the attack of the Baekje Silla coalition forces, and it was only after Son Heung and others defeated the Baekje naval army that Jeju New Port was barely put into use after some emergency repairs, and it looked particularly depressed.

On a barren slope outside Jeju New Town, white paper banners flutter in the breeze, there is a newly built cemetery near Jeju New Town, and yellow paper money is scattered everywhere on the road from Jeju New Town to the cemetery.

It can be seen that even if key points such as Jeju New City are kept, the defenders on Jeju Island will pay a lot of money.

When Wang Ze and others disembarked in the first wave, Fan Wenzhong, the county guard of Jeju Island, had already received the news and rushed to the first time, Fan Wenzhong looked at Wang Ze and the army behind him who were disembarking, and almost said with tears in his eyes, "Oh relatives, I can look forward to you!" ’

As soon as Wang Ze saw Fan Wenzhong, he eagerly asked, "Fan Junshou, are you all okay?" Why didn't you see General Xu? ”

Hearing Wang Ze's greeting, Fan Wenzhong said excitedly: "Little Marquis, we're all fine now, but if you don't come yet, we're going to have something!" General Xu is fighting with the Baekje and Silla people in the north of Xinseong, and he can't stand it anymore! ”

Originally, there were only more than 10,000 defenders on Jeju Island, but in order to increase the strength of the island's defenders, Wang Ze specially formed a cavalry militia with a certain combat effectiveness, led by the militia cavalry captain who had made meritorious contributions under Jeju New City.

Although this cavalry is a militia in terms of organization, its weapons and equipment and training content in peacetime are the same as those of the light cavalry, and military training is organized for three to five days every month, and at the end of the year, it has to train for twenty years.

When the combined forces of Baekje and Silla landed more than 20 miles north of Jeju New City, Heo Ning, who had been holding Jeju New City, had to go out of the city to fight the coalition army, otherwise the losses would be lost if the coalition army tossed around on the island.

With this 15,000 troops with decent combat effectiveness, plus more than 20,000 militiamen mobilized in the past few days, Xu Ning barely blocked the allied forces of the two countries in a place more than ten miles away from Jeju New City, but the Silla people were still strong in combat, and it was a little difficult to see Xu Ning resisting.

At this time, without Wang Ze's orders, there were 4,000 cavalry of Ji Xiang's cavalry and the cavalry of the White Wolf Battalion, which had just landed on the shore, roaring past 200 steps away from Wang Ze, and it seemed that they had just disembarked and were about to go to the battlefield north of Jeju New City to fight.

The cavalry of the brigade had just run over, and the 25,000 infantry soldiers under Zhang Hang's command carried a large number of ordnance on their shoulders and carried the footprints of the cavalry far away and followed closely to the north of the city.

However, it is also understandable that these soldiers are looking to make a lot of war achievements in the war to destroy the Japanese state, and after occupying the Japanese country, they can use these military exploits to exchange for a large piece of land, but they don't want these soldiers to be pulled by Wang Ze to support Jeju Island at a critical moment.

At this time, many soldiers thought to themselves, 'Your sister, fortunately, the Baekje people and the Silla people are more superior, otherwise Lao Tzu's military exploits would be in vain!' You have to hurry up, otherwise all the achievements will be snatched away by others! If Wang Ze could hear the voices of these soldiers, I am afraid that he would immediately laugh angrily.

Watching the soldiers of the brigade go away, Fan Wenzhong said worriedly: "Little Marquis, you don't know how hateful these Baekje and Silla people are, we have at least four or five towns in the north of Jeju Island before, I am afraid that they will be rebuilt, and many people there will only have time to escape alone, and they will not even have time to transfer their cattle and sheep at home, this time I am afraid that the Baekje people will be completely troubled!" ”

This time Fan Wenzhong felt very distressed, originally Jeju Island was the first county in the East China Sea under Wang Ze's rule where everything was on the right track, but now not only has the investment been greatly reduced, but the workshops on the island can also contribute a lot of wealth every day, and now it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover by the Baekje people.

Wang Ze shook his head and said, "It's already very good, this time the Baekje and Silla people failed to land from the south, otherwise we will lose a lot this time!" Although Wang Ze attaches great importance to the development of industry and commerce, the safety of the people on the island is the most important thing for him.

There is a saying, 'There is a people, and there are people, and there are people, there is wealth!' No matter how much money is lost to Wang Ze, as long as the population and land are there, other wealth can always be recreated.

The best geo-geological conditions on Jeju Island are in the east and south of the island, and although the northeast part of Jeju New City is also one of the few rich places on the island, it is still relatively inferior to other towns in the southeast, so the loss is still bearable.

"Fan Junshou, Old Immortal Liu wasn't frightened this time!" Wang Ze looked at the Haotian Great Temple looming in the distance, where it was now a huge building complex, enshrined in a god system headed by Haotian God, and the side halls on both sides also enshrined the gods of all the soldiers who had died in the past few years.

Seeing Wang Ze's gaze fall on the Haotian Great Temple, Fan Wenzhong finally had a smile: "This time, when the Baekje people had not yet landed, thousands of militiamen rode horses to protect the Great Temple, and they said that when Xiao Yu came to attack last time, it was Qin Han's children who stopped the enemy army to keep Liu Lao Immortal safe and sound, and this time they can't lose anything to these children!" ”

The positive reaction of the people on the island made Fan Wenzhong particularly excited, in his opinion, everything on Jeju Island seems to be vibrant now, the only pity is that the area of Jeju Island is too small.

Although Wang Ze felt a little sad in his heart after hearing Qin Han's name and thinking of the two brothers Qin Ming and Qin Lang who died in battle, Wang Ze was a little relieved to see that the most important Jeju New Town on the island and the nearby Haotian Grand Shrine were safe and sound, as for a few small towns that were destroyed by the Baekje people, it didn't matter, it was a big deal to snatch back some financial compensation from the Baekje people.

At this time, hundreds of ox carts drove out of Jeju New City, so Wang Ze laughed at Fan Wenzhong and said: "Fan Junshou, I will go to the battlefield with Captain Liu first, and then we will have a good talk with Fan Junshou when we defeat this group of blindless Baekje people and Silla people!" ”

It turned out that these nearly 100 ox carts were used to transport the 1,500 soldiers of the ironclad army under Liu Wancheng, otherwise these soldiers were wearing more than 30 catties of armor and holding 40 or 50 catties of horse-chopping giant swords in their hands, and by the time they walked to the battlefield more than ten miles away, they might have been too tired to stand up.

When Wang Ze arrived at the battlefield, the battle here had entered the most fierce moment, before Xu Ning almost couldn't resist the retreat, and was about to rely on Jeju New City to resist the Baekje and Silla coalition forces, first Ji Xiang and the 4,000 cavalry of the White Wolf Battalion arrived in time to stabilize his position.

With such a group of elite cavalry joining, the militia cavalry, which had been unable to patrol and harass near the flank of the Baekje Silla army, also began to attack the flank of the Baekje people under the leadership of the militia leader Shogi.

When the coalition army could not be harassed and the Silla people with the largest number of troops were sent out 20,000 people to deal with the cavalry that came to attack his flank, Zhang Hang arrived in time with 25,000 elite soldiers and entered the battle, so that the Baekje and Silla people had to completely let go of their careful thoughts and start fighting with all their might for their own safety.

After the Baekje and Silla people summoned up the will to fight, the sky was dark for a while, but when 1,500 ironclad soldiers rushed to the battlefield in ox carts, all the soldiers on Wang Ze's side, including the militia, were excited.

In the past years of fighting, the soldiers of the Iron Army have used their impeccable combat achievements to show their strength to the public, and in the eyes of other soldiers, the Iron Army soldiers have collected almost all the powerful words in the world and hung on themselves.

And the soldiers of the Ironclad Army did not live up to everyone's expectations, under the leadership of Liu Wancheng, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, the soldiers of the Ironclad Army, all of whom were more than 1.8 meters tall, passed through the rows of soldiers and advanced to the front.

When the red-eyed Baekje soldiers were about to stab the new opponent, they suddenly found that the enemy in front of them had turned into a monster with iron armor, and it was impossible for the weapon in his hand to inflict a wound on someone's body.

The two armies fought and shook the sky, Wang Ze looked hot in the back, but with Wang Ze's status at this time, it must be impossible to charge into battle in person, and now he can only honestly stand at the top of an ox cart behind and watch the army fight.

Suddenly, Wang Ze heard an abnormal movement behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a team of people rushing towards him, so Wang Ze immediately said in surprise: "Yo, there is someone who can't open your eyes, brothers copy guys!" ”
