Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 447: Are you fooled?
Su Dingfang's finger fell on Naniwazu.

Liu Rengui looked over and there was no doubt that landing from here would be the fastest way to reach the heart of Japan.

But at the same time, once landing at Naniwazu, it would be extremely easy to be attacked from both the north and south directions.

If the other party was more ruthless, they could simply block the entrance to the port, forming a pocket to surround them.

Liu Rengui shook his head, "This is too aggressive."

"Japan has prepared 20,000 troops. If we land here, we will most likely be cut off."

"In my opinion, it would be better to land directly from here."

Liu Rengui pointed to the border of Japan, which was closest to Danluo, and said, "We can land directly on the shore in the shortest time possible, and then advance all the way north."

"Although we may encounter great obstacles in the process of advancing northward, with our military strength and combat power, there should be no problem."

Regarding Liu Rengui's proposal, Su Dingfang smiled and shook his head, "Not appropriate."

"We only brought 13,000 elite soldiers this time. If we had 30,000 or 50,000 soldiers, there would be no problem according to your idea."

"But once more than 10,000 people land, we have to be very careful and be on guard against enemies coming from all directions!"

"This will slow us down considerably!"

"Secondly!"

"We are far less manpowered than Japan. Any casualty of a soldier is an unbearable loss for us."

"On the premise of retaining the greatest manpower, the best choice to conquer Japan and capture Emperor Shumei alive is still Naniwa Tsu!"

It is undeniable that Su Dingfang's words make sense.

After all, there are only 13,000 of them.

Moreover, they were going to take 13,000 people to eliminate the Japanese forces and capture Emperor Jomei alive.

They must ensure that their soldiers do not suffer too many casualties in the fierce fighting.

Otherwise, you will need to ask for help from the rear.

This is something they are unwilling to do.

Su Dingfang continued, "Didn't Inugami Ota prepare 20,000 troops to entertain us?"

"Even if these 20,000 people are less than half of the Japanese navy, they are at least the main force."

"As long as we wipe them out in one fell swoop, we shouldn't encounter any large-scale, decent obstructions before we land in Naniwazu!"

"As long as we act fast enough, we can land directly at Naniwazu before Japan can react!"

"Then, leave one group of people behind to take charge of the safety of the ship, and the rest of the people will advance northward and enter the palace of Emperor Shumei!"

"This……"

Liu Rengui hesitated, "It's too dangerous!"

"Once the troops are divided, not only will the soldiers guarding the ships be under great pressure, but the safety of the soldiers landing on the shore will also not be effectively guaranteed."

"Most importantly, supplies!"

"Without supplies, how are we going to get north?!"

Su Dingfang smiled and patted Liu Rengui on the shoulder, "Brother Liu, you are a scholar after all, so your ideas are relatively simple."

Liu Rengui: “???”

Su Dingfang said calmly: "As long as we land, will we still lack food? At most, we will only lack some ammunition."

Liu Rengui: “…”

Ok.

I was thinking too superficially.

"As for ammunition, it is nothing more than an added bonus for us. So what if we don't have ammunition?"

Su Dingfang said calmly, "These soldiers are all elite soldiers carefully selected from various armies!"

"With the fire guns, they can avoid close-range frontal fighting, but without the fire guns, they are still the unstoppable Tang Tiger Guards!"

Liu Rengui was thoughtful, "Has the Marshal already thought of a countermeasure?"

Su Dingfang nodded and said, "After we defeat the Japanese navy head-on, I will lead 8,000 troops all the way north, and you will be responsible for commanding and arranging the warships."

"If we need ammunition support, we can send a pigeon to you to resupply ammunition at the coastal location."

"But I think there should be enough ammunition."

Okay.

Liu Rengui pondered and nodded slowly, "Before implementing this plan, you must annihilate Inujou Mita Kuwa's 20,000 navy, otherwise I will not agree to this."

Su Dingfang grinned, "How difficult is this?"

……

The next day.

The coast of Japan.

A small boat was watching on the sea, and when it saw the warships of Danluo set off, it turned around immediately.

"Report!"

"General, the Tang warships have already set out and are heading towards us."

"it is good!"

Inugami Odenkumi laughed loudly and stood up from his chair, "Everyone, you all heard it, the Tang navy is here!"

"Thirteen thousand naval forces, are you planning to destroy Japan?"

"What a fool's dream!"

"Today, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Pass on my order, and mobilize all 20,000 naval forces. I will fight him, Su Dingfang, to see who is the better!"

dong dong dong.

Bursts of drumbeats rang out in the navy camp.

But after a moment, one boat after another and one warship after another sailed out of the water fort and headed towards the East China Sea.

soon.

The two sides officially met one hundred miles away from Japan.

"Inugami Mita is here."

Liu Rengui and Su Dingfang stood together, holding a telescope made by the Ministry of Industry, and spotted the main ship of Inugami Mita from a distance. "General Liu, it's up to you."

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "I will not get involved in this battle."

"it is good!"

Liu Rengui nodded and gave orders with a smile, "Pass the order, order the 1,000 elite soldiers of Danluo to bravely move forward and wait for instructions!"

Su Dingfang watched and listened with a smile, without making any comment.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers died in the territory of Danluo State. No matter what, Danluo State must give a reasonable explanation.

Now, the explanation has been given, but what about the compensation?
Naturally, it is the thousand elite soldiers in front of them!

These people were said to be elite soldiers, but in Su Dingfang's eyes, they were not as good as some bandits and militiamen in the Tang Dynasty.

But at least it works.

It is still very useful to use these thousand people to attract the enemy's attention, weaken their vigilance and boost their morale.

As for their life or death, what does it have to do with Su Dingfang?
"The Tang Dynasty has no moral principles and sent the envoy Cui Wei to destroy the harem of His Majesty. He was later beheaded in public. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually took advantage of his power to bully others. Today, I will go to the East China Sea to show you how powerful our country of Japan is!"

Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui looked at each other's shouting with strange expressions.

At this point, you still think you are righteous?

"No more talking, General. I'll just play with them for a while."

Liu Rengui put away the telescope, said something to Su Dingfang, and left on his own ship.

After a while.

Led by a thousand elite soldiers from the Danluo Kingdom, eighty speedboats headed straight for Inuami Mitasaki's main ship.

"How brave!"

Inuugami Oden Kuwaba had a look of disdain on his face. He waved his hand and immediately separated a hundred boats from the two hundred ships in the fleet on the right and responded.

The speed of the boats is definitely not inferior to that of the speedboats of Danluo State.

As the two sides approached each other, the archers on the warships drew their bows and shot arrows at each other.

The naval battle officially begins!
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and nearly two hundred warships collided with each other.

Some people drew their bows and arrows, some used ropes to pull the enemy ships, and some used tools such as rope ladders to jump directly onto the enemy warships, holding swords, shields, and hacking and killing indiscriminately.

It's really not good-looking and not useful.

Liu Rengui rubbed his head. In just one encounter, more than a dozen of the 1,000 elite soldiers and 80 warships arranged by the Star Lord were overturned.

Too crispy.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Star Lord.

After all, Danluo State is just a tiny enemy, not even as big as a county town. How powerful can its combat power be?

Fortunately, these people withstood the first wave of pressure and fought with the opponent for half an hour.

But it was only half an hour.

The eighty warships fled in all directions like scattered dandelions, and those who failed to escape in the first place had no need to flee.

"Good kill!"

Inuue Mita was overjoyed.

It seems that the Tang Dynasty’s navy is just this good!
just.

The other party did not use muskets, which surprised Inuugami Ota.

Could it be that they knew that the power of muskets was greatly reduced on the sea, so they did not use them?
Or is it that due to improper storage, the musket lost its original power?
Regardless, they won this time.

"General, shall we pursue the victory?"

"Not urgent."

Inuugami Oden shook his head. They had just gained the upper hand and the enemy's warship formation had not fluctuated much.

The most important thing is that in the face of the escape of these warships, the Tang Dynasty's tower ships and other warships did not move at all.

It's so weird.

"Let them try."

Inuugami Ota Kuwata pondered and looked at the more than ninety boats that were chasing after them.

Even if an accident occurred, he would be able to arrange people to organize a second attack in the first place!

"The formation is messed up!"

"General, their formation has been disrupted by their own people!"

Just now.

Those fleeing speedboats rushed towards the formation where Liu Rengui was in a panic.

This caused the dozens of warships led by Liu Rengui to become a little panicked, and they all avoided the fleeing speedboats!

To go or not to go, that is the question.

Inuugami Oden Kuwaba stared at the enemy's formation with his eyes fixed. There was chaos in the vanguard warship formation, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity to charge.

"General, go ahead!"

"General, both the left and right armies have sent out flag signals requesting battle!"

"Order the entire right army to attack!"

After thinking it over again and again, Inugami Mita shouted, "Let Koizumi Juichiro defeat the Tang Dynasty's vanguard army for me!"

"Yes!"

The flag signal was sent.

The one hundred warships on the right were fully deployed.

be cheated?
Are you so easily fooled?

Liu Rengui, holding the telescope, had a sneer on his face.

In this case……

I'm going to have to use more force.

"Pass this general's order!"

"Order Zhang Zan and Liu Ke to lead the warships and prepare the battleships to encircle and destroy the main force of Inujo Mita Kuwata's right army at any time!"
