Chapter 812
The Tang army's army came from the waterway, and according to common sense, to land from the waterway, it is necessary to take the ferry for the army to land ashore.Now that the ferry along the coast is in the hands of the Baekje army, it will not be easy for the Tang army to seize the ferry.

There are heavy Baekje soldiers at the ferry along the coast. If the Tang army wants to seize the ferry, it is tantamount to attacking a fortification, and the difficulty is the same as attacking a city by water. Therefore, this battle is definitely a tough one for the Tang army. Casualties.

This battle is the first battle of the Dengzhou Navy, and it must be fought well. For this battle, Liu Rengui has studied for a long time and has a long-term plan, so he dared to make a guarantee in front of Su Ding.

The reason why Liu Rengui dared to say that was because he never thought of landing at the ferry by the sea from the beginning to the end. The place he chose to land was the mouth of the Xiongjin River.

The estuary of the Xiongjin River is where the Xiongjin River enters the sea. The water is gentle but deep enough for large ships to berth.And because the river mouth is adjacent to the mountains, it is inconvenient for goods to go up and down, and it is difficult to transport, so the river mouth area has not been built as a ferry, and people don't pay attention to it, but it is enough for the front army to seize the shore.

Although Liu Rengui already had such a plan, it was not easy to implement it smoothly, because a warship sailing at sea was not as good as riding a horse on land. Not only was it not easy to turn around, but even the speed was much slower. The words will definitely cause the defenders to notice, and it will take a lot of effort if they can't say it.

The way of using troops, supplementing reality and fiction, Liu Rengui first used the majority of the navy as a cover, and ordered most of his troops to go straight to the ferry, pretending to attack the ferry, while he himself rode on the main ship and led a group of troops to attack the ferry. The team's division was located behind most of the ships, and sailed to Jiangkou under the cover of other warships. They wanted to catch the defenders by surprise and waited for an opportunity to seize Jiangkou.

West Bank of Baekje, Hongseong Ferry.

Baekje defender Fukunobu Onimuro, the chief general of the Baekje garrison, was riding his horse and standing on the ferry port, looking at the Datang warship sailing towards the sea in the distance, with a serious expression on his face.

Onishi Fukushin is the younger brother of Baekje King Fuyu Yici, and he can be regarded as a royal child of Baekje. He has a high position and power. Yici ordered [-] troops to come here to stop the Tang army.

Baekje is not a big country. In terms of military strength, it is not as good as Silla. Excluding the troops defending Silla on the eastern front, the [-] soldiers in Fukunobu Onimuro's hands are already nearly half of the country's adjustable troops.

Although Baekje, relying on the protection of Goguryeo in the north, once violated the meaning of Datang and colluded with Goguryeo to attack Silla, but this does not mean that they have the confidence to fight to the death with Datang.

On the contrary, just after Baekje got the news that the Tang army might cross the sea to capture Baekje, all regions have shrunk their forces and retreated into the city, even Sibi, the capital of the country. Fukushin Fukushin's 3 horses were squeezed out by Fuyu Yoshici to give him courage.

This battle is of great significance to both Fukunobu Onimuro and Baekje. Fukunobu Onimuro was a staunch anti-Tang faction in the Baekje Dynasty, and he also contributed to the severance of diplomatic relations between Baekje and the Tang Dynasty.The people of Baekje are afraid to fight against the famous Tang army. Fukunobu Onimuro needs this battle to show the courage of the Baekje people and keep the Tang army out of the country.

"The warships of the Tang army are gathered here, presumably they want to storm the ferry and seize the shore. Immediately order the whole army to gather here and prepare to fight the Tang army." Onimuro Fukunobu looked at most of the Tang army that had assembled outside the Hongcheng Ferry , only when Tang Jun was about to attack by force, he ordered his son Guishi Jisi.

Onimuro Fukunobu gave an order, and the three armies assembled, and 3 horses gathered at the ferry. The originally spacious ferry suddenly became crowded, and the water was tight.

"Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps"

Tang Jun's warship slowly approached the ferry, and Fukunobu Onimuro calculated the distance, and it was almost within the range of the bow and arrow.

Fukunobu Onimuro looked at Tang Jun standing on the deck, and ordered again: "Tang Jun is coming from a long distance, and he is bound to be tired. He ordered the archers to prepare. When Tang Jun is within a hundred paces, he will first harass Tang Jun with bows and arrows to defeat Tang Jun. sharpness."

Fukunobu Onimuro's thinking is good, and it is quite reasonable. The Tang army sailed to this place for ten days, relying on their momentum. If the Baekje people can really dampen the spirit of the Tang army with the rain of arrows, even though the Baekje soldiers Not as good at fighting as Tang Jun, but at least he has a chance to fight.

Baekje soldiers were ordered by Onimuro Fukunobu to draw their bows and set arrows, staring at the Tang Army warships that were gradually approaching, and when they were about to reach within range, they suddenly stopped and stopped entering the boat.

"What does Tang Jun mean by this, but he is also afraid of father's arrow array?" Onimuro Jisi next to Onimuro Fukunobu looked at the Tang Army warship that was no longer approaching, and said to Onimuro Fukuoka.

Onimuro Fukunobu didn't know Tang Jun's intentions, but only seeing Tang Jun dare not step forward, he was also a little afraid of himself.

Gui Shifu said: "The Tang army is afraid that they don't want to add more casualties. They are confronting our army here and want to wait for another opportunity to take another."

Guishi Jisi asked: "Then what should we do? Should we test Tang Jun first?"

Onimuro Fukunobu thought for a while and replied: "We can wait and see what happens. Now is the time when the tide is high. If the Tang army attacks at this time, it will be at our disadvantage. If we can stalemate with the Tang army until the tide ebbs, the location will be convenient." in ours."

The sea tide is high, and pushing the boat forward will naturally help the Tang army to seize the shore. After waiting for more than an hour, it will be time for the ebb tide. Time delays the opportunity, but Fukunobu Onimuro is happy to see it succeed.

Onimuro Fukunobu just thought that Tang Jun didn't understand the hydrology of this place. Seeing that Tang Jun missed the good time, he felt much better. Seeing that Tang Jun still had no intention of attacking at all, he was abnormally too strong, and he discovered the abnormality.

The fleet of the Tang army in front of me is in order, advancing and retreating properly, but they did not find where the main ship in command is. After reading the letter carefully, I found something was wrong.

The flags of the ships in the Tang Army fleet were clear, and no ships deliberately concealing their flags were found. Generally speaking, communication at sea is inconvenient. The main ship often lives in the middle of the fleet and uses semaphore to command the ships to advance and retreat, but there is no ship in the Tang Army fleet. A true main ship right in the middle.

Without the order from the main ship, these ships can advance and retreat in unison. Obviously, this is a plan that has been made long ago. They are waiting for the main ship to give them new orders, but where is their main ship?
Just when Onimuro Fukunobu was puzzled, he looked up and suddenly vaguely saw several sea ships without flags appearing at the mouth of the Xiongjin River a few miles away from the ferry, sailing into the mouth of the river.

"No, the Tang army landed at Jiangkou." Fukunobu Onimuro suddenly woke up and said angrily.
