Chapter 438: Sea Encounter
On the sea, Goguryeo King Quan Gai Suwen personally boarded the ship and went out to sea, heading straight to the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty to kill. Because the Khitan and other three tribes took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, so the land war could not be fought, but fortunately, with the cooperation of the Baekje and the Japanese State, the navy of the three countries is strong, and they have complete sea dominance.
"Is it clear? How is the seaside defense of Datang Eastern Road? Quangai Suwen asked his subordinates beside him.
"Returning to my king, the scouts came to report that there was no defense at all on the Datang Sea, no, it should be said that they completely gave up the defense, knowing that their warships were inferior to us, so they implemented the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and there was not a single fishing boat and one person in sight on the entire coastline."
Quan Gai Suwen laughed wildly, "God help me, so that we can land boldly with confidence." A whole army of 200,000 went around his rear, tsk! Now that all the troops of Datang are attracted by Jieli, we can gallop all the way to Chang'an, eat the enemy, and don't even need to bring heavy grain and grass, hahahaha, a godsend! For today's sake, this king has painstakingly prepared for three years, three years! β
This is also a ruthless man, knowing that the Tang Dynasty cannot be defeated on land, so in the past few years in power, he has made use of his strengths and avoided weaknesses, vigorously developed the maritime army, and the entire Goguryeo was in a wartime state throughout the year, and the standing strength increased from 100,000 to 200,000, and now it is 100,000 army and 100,000 navy. For such a country with a population of only a few million, it is absolutely militaristic.
"Report! My king, an unknown fleet has been found ahead......"
Fleet? What fleet? Datang's? Hahahaha, no way, in the past three years, we have repeatedly sent pirates to provoke, have you ever seen a Tang warship on the sea? Not to mention the fleet, there is no small sampan that dares to counterattack, Datang only attaches importance to the army, and abandoning the navy is definitely a big failure.
"See, the other party's banner is, it's the Tang Navy! Southern Navy! β
What??
Quan Gai Suwen panicked, personally stood on the lookout, and after seeing the fleet in the distance, the whole person couldn't help but shake three times, that is...... Where did such a big ship come from? And one is bigger than the other? The smallest one is also larger than the main ship on my side, how is this possible?
"Special mother, is Lao Tzu dazzled?"
"My king, you are not dazzled, that is the ship of the Tang Dynasty, it is getting closer and closer!" The commander of the Navy reminded.
Quan Gai Suwen forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and laughed wildly: "What are you afraid of? The Tang Navy? It's just a group of fishermen who catch fish in the river all year round, can they compare with our navy? We have 200,000 elites, and we will teach them how to be human beings today. The order is that Baekje is on the left and Wa is on the right, charge with me, encircle on three sides, and don't let the enemy escape. Their warship is big, the speed must not work, give me a bite! β
Is it? Who said that if the ship is big, the speed must not work?
The next scene directly refreshed Quangai Suwen's perception of the ship, and the oncoming sea ship was not only large, but also extremely fast.
In the face of the encirclement of the Triple Alliance, the Southern Navy did not dodge or dodge, and directly used a sharp arrow formation, like a sharp blade out of the sheath, to directly ram into the Goguryeo naval formation in the middle. Yes, it's a collision.
Are theyβare they dying? This is the sea, and isn't sea warfare about arrows, throwing stones, and boarding ships to seize ships? The collision of the two boats is the way for the fish to die and the net to break the jade and burn it! Damn the Tang Navy, do you understand naval warfare? You want to die yourself, don't pull Lao Tzu......
Want to hide? It's late!
Will it really break the net?
Hehe, the Southern Navy of the Tang Dynasty announced with its strength that the net of the Triple Alliance would be broken, but his big fish was ruthless and would not die, and he was unharmed.
Countless excellent craftsmen in the Southern Shipyard have upgraded their warships every year, and now there are three generations of warships, which far surpass this era in terms of size, tonnage, speed, and armor-piercing solidity.
It is precisely because of this self-confidence that in the face of the enemy's 200,000-strong army, they choose to go on a rampage and avoid short-handed encounters with the opponent. This is the vast sea, smashed and sunk the enemy ship, even if all of them can swim, how long can they float on the sea? They all have to die!
Even if it is a short-handed encounter, the Southern Navy may not be afraid of the three-nation alliance. In the past few years, because of the full dedication to the search for the King of Qin, the entire Lingnan, no, all the financial resources of the entire southern Tang Dynasty, have been invested in the Southern Navy.
Not only has the research and development of warships been greatly accelerated, but the Southern Navy has also repeatedly expanded its recruitment, counting the ships that are looking for people outside all the year round, far more than 200,000.
And all the way to the south, opened up the route to Australia, in the process experienced countless island turf, countless large and small battle formations, in terms of experience, even the Goguryeo veterans are not as good as it.
It wasn't until Quangai Suwen was captured as a prisoner and pressed on the deck that he muttered, "Why? How so? β
Feng Zhiji looked at it, the dignified King of Goguryeo looked like this bear? It's really boring. Forget it, lock it up, and escort it to Chang'an as a prisoner after landing. I thought that this naval battle would be very challenging, but I didn't expect it, the local chicken tile dog, the silver-like pewter gun head! I heard that in Tianzhu in the southwest, there is a Peacock Empire navy that is very powerful, I hope it will not disappoint me in the future.
Well, this one is not even interested in inquiry.
In the direction of Youzhou in the northeast, on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, the crown prince Li Chengqian, who has grown into a handsome young man, looked at the familiar Chengguan, and unforgettable memories appeared in his mind, clenching his fists and loosening them, going back and forth several times. He glanced back at his tent, as if recalling the elf-like figure.
His eyes closed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "According to reliable information, the main force of Goguryeo is all on the sea, and the land city is empty, and it will be up to General Su next." β
A heroic and majestic young general, holding an overlord gun, took a solid step by step, stepped forward and said respectfully: "The last general will live up to the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince, and in this battle, my Tang Dynasty will unify the peninsula in one fell swoop." The pioneer room loves to listen to the order! β
Who is speaking? Who else in Datang can take charge of the war in the Northeast when the troops are insufficient?
It's not someone else, it is Su Lie Su Dingfang, who was recommended by King Qin to succeed as the general of the Right Wuwei after Cheng Biting Jin reorganized the Elephant Corps, after several years of development, this great talent in the world was finally discovered, recognized by all the veterans, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Li Er, as the commander of the Right Route Army to cultivate, and even gave it to the crown prince Li Chengqian as a cronie.
Three months later, in the city of Chang'an, a row of bound captives knelt down in the Taiji Palace, including the Western Turks' Mohe Emperor Yehu, the Eastern Turks' Jieli, Goguryeo's Quangai Suwen, and the Baekje King and the Commander of the Wa Navy. I heard that the army in the east of the Tang Dynasty has joined the southern navy and has landed in the Wa Kingdom, and it will not be long before the King of the Japanese slaves will also be tied to the Taiji Palace.
Zhao Deyan, who was named and taken care of by Li Yuanying, was not there, this guy was refreshing, if he lost, he would lose, he originally planned to kill himself, but he was calculated in advance by Li Yuanying, but he was embarrassed to die. Because of his gratitude to Li Yuanying for his kindness, Zhao Deyan asked to be a running boy in the Qinwang Tavern to repay his kindness, and was accepted by the big shopkeeper Du Ruhui, and he also had a good death.
Emperor Li Er stared at Jieli below, and said with reminiscence: "I promised my father that one day he would destroy the Turks, capture Jieli, and let him dance and have fun for his father all day long. Now that Jieli is in hand, my father ......"
Burst...... Jieli wanted to vomit blood, and said in his heart that he had been making trouble for a long time, you and I had such a big enmity because of this? That's, isn't it? The people of your old Li family are not reliable.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang is just going to sea to travel, and sooner or later he will come back one day, you might as well give Jieli a Marquis of Anle, raise him, and wait for the Emperor Taishang to return safely, and then it will not be too late to give gifts." The eldest grandson Wuji reminded.
Li Er nodded, "According to what the auxiliary machine said, Feng Jieli will be the Marquis of Guiyi, give him a beautiful house, live in Chang'an, return his family, and be a rich man in Chang'an." β
Jieli knelt down and kowtowed and said: "In the past, I made a five-year covenant with the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be so completely defeated. The winner is the king and the loser is convinced. From now on, the grassland will be owned by the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no Turkic kingdoms, so I ask His Majesty the Tang Emperor to treat the people of the grassland well. β
"Yes! Since then, the grassland is also my Tang people, the fifth brother left a good policy before leaving, as long as the grassland people live and work in peace and contentment, the court will treat them equally, I hope that after a hundred years, the two clans can be united, and there will be no more hatred. β
After listening to this, Jieli said gratefully: "I have always admired the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if I can go to the Qin Palace?" β
"But, I'll let the prince accompany you another day."
