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

Chapter 543: Murderous Mist, Koizumi Dies in Battle
close!

As the fighting ship gradually approached the south bank, the soldiers on the ship held their breath, and beads of sweat appeared on their right hands that were holding down the hilts of their swords.

Just one step away from reaching the shore.

At this moment, the team leader who had just left came back and came to the riverside to check.

It was shrouded in fog and confusion.

Dui Zheng shook his head and left quickly, but he did not notice that shortly after he left, a fighting ship broke through the fog and rushed out.

Inside the camp.

Blacktooth Shaci frowned and looked at the map in front of him.

According to the news sent by Kim Yu-sin, the whereabouts of the 5,000 elite soldiers taken away by Koizumi Jushiro are still unknown.

This is quite intriguing.

They had clearly turned around and intended to bypass the Han River and enter the territory of Silla, so why was there no sign of Koizumi Jushiro and others after Kim Yu-shin led his troops away?

Where could they hide?
"Report, General, there is a thick fog on the river tonight."

"understood."

Heichi Shaci replied casually, and the next moment, he looked up outside.

It's getting foggy!
The timing of the fog appearing is really strange.

Heishaci walked out and looked around. The whole place was covered with thick fog. Not only was it impossible to see anything on the river surface, but even the camp was almost covered by the thick fog rising from the river.

At the rate the fog was spreading, they wouldn't be able to see the people around them clearly in an hour.

"Somebody come!"

"What are your orders, General?"

"Immediately arrange for soldiers to strengthen patrols on the river..."

"kill!"

At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly came from the river.

Heichi Shaci's expression changed instantly.

Oops.

The Tang army on the north bank took advantage of the fog on the river to attack!
"Quickly beat the drums to gather the troops and fight."

"Yes!"

Heishaci immediately turned around and went back to his residence, wearing armor and holding a sharp blade. When he walked out again, thousands of soldiers had gathered around him.

Most of these people were his personal soldiers and lieutenant generals, so after hearing the shouting and beating of drums, they gathered towards him immediately.

Black Tooth Shaci said angrily: "Why are you all here instead of gathering your troops?"

"Quickly gather your soldiers and head to the shore to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The Tang army took advantage of the situation and crossed the river. If we fail to block the Tang army on the surface of the Han River in the first place, it will not be easy to force them back after they have crossed the Han River.

Faced with Heichi Shaci's angry rebuke, the lieutenants hurriedly dispersed and each summoned their own troops.

But the fog was too thick.

The noise had already spread from the river to the camp. Many soldiers who heard the noise hurriedly got up, put on their armor and picked up their weapons. However, the moment they walked out of the tents, they bumped into each other in twos and threes, creating chaos.

"Go away!"

"You hit me..."

"No chaos, no chaos!"

"Everyone calm down, the Tang army hasn't come yet!"

"All soldiers, follow me to the shore and stop the Tang army from landing!"

"Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

Inside the camp.

All kinds of chaotic noises continued to be heard. With the continuous shouting of a deputy general, the chaotic situation was finally brought under some control.

One by one, the soldiers found their respective positions and, following the generals, raised their weapons and shouted to kill the enemy.

At the same time, the vanguard under Koizumi Jushiro had successfully occupied the foothold on the shore.

The soldiers on patrol were already lying in a pool of blood, motionless.

As the fighting ships behind approached, soldiers quickly jumped off the ships, led by the vanguard, and rushed forward.

"call……"

"We finally crossed the river."

Stepping on the soft grass, Koizumi Juichiro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

too difficult.

But fortunately, we have finally arrived at the South Bank.

This time, they won't retreat easily!
"Send a message to General Wang. Our troops have already reached the shore first. Please follow us as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

After giving the instructions, Koizumi Juichiro immediately led his personal soldiers towards the location of the vanguard.

Because before reaching the shore, he heard the sound of drums coming from the enemy camp.

This is enough to prove that their whereabouts were known to Heichishaci and his men.

However, as long as they can hold on, Wang Li will lead the army across the river to provide support, and the enemy will undoubtedly be defeated!

"kill!"

……

"General, General Koizumi sent a message saying they have landed successfully. Please speed up and rush to their aid!"

"good very good!"

Wang Li was overjoyed and finally crossed the river.

Although Koizumi Jichiro has only 10,000 soldiers under his command, as long as they can withstand the enemy's first wave of offensive, he can lead the army to arrive!

"Send the message, all troops, speed up, no need to hide."

"Yes!"

Wow!
As the warships moved faster and faster, the sound of the water on the river became louder and louder, and even the fog on the river was dispersed a little as the warships moved forward.

After successfully getting off the warship, Wang Li immediately prepared his soldiers and went to provide assistance.

"kill!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill one enemy and you'll get a reward of 100 taels of silver. Kill ten enemies and you'll get a reward of 100 taels of silver!"

The fog gradually thickened.

Wang Li could hardly see the scenery ten feet away.

But the shouting sound in the fog was unusually clear; it was the voice of Koizumi Jushiro.

"All soldiers, follow me to help General Koizumi!"

Wang Li suddenly drew his sword and shouted to the soldiers around him.

Now the fog is thick, and it is the right time for them to kill the enemy. If the fog dissipates and the sky becomes bright, how can they resist the enemy's 50,000 troops with only 30,000 troops?

Even if Jin Yuxin took away some soldiers, the enemy's number of people was still greater than theirs!
and so.

We must take this opportunity to defeat Blacktooth Shaci's army!
"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

In the mist.

The two armies collided with each other.

At this time, all the formations and bows and crossbows lost their effectiveness.

The ones you can truly rely on are your closest comrades, and the one you can trust is the sword in your hand.

Personal bravery is infinitely magnified at this moment.

"General Koizumi?"

Surrounded by his personal soldiers, Wang Li continued to fight forward, following the direction of Koizumi Juichiro's voice.

but.

No matter how he shouted, he could not hear Koizumi Juichiro's voice.

And his shouts were quickly drowned out by the countless screams and fighting.

Only the figures that kept flashing by in the fog and the screams coming from the ears made people tremble in their hearts.

Damn.

We can't keep rushing on like this.

Wang Li was hesitant. With no clear view of the scene, he just rushed forward following the sound. Who knew what kind of scene he would encounter after rushing out of the fog?
If he ran into Koizumi Juichiro and the others, it would be fine. But if he ran into the opponent's main force...

That's it.

"Wang Li, Wang Li!"

At this time.

The bursts of shouting caught Wang Li's attention.

It’s Koizumi Juichiro!
Wang Li immediately recognized Koizumi Jiro's voice, but because of the noisy sounds around him, he was unable to tell where Koizumi Jiro was for a while. "Come and help me!"

"Wang Li, come and help me!"

Koizumi Jushiro's calls became more and more urgent, and it was obvious that he was in big trouble.

But just when Wang Li identified the location of Koizumi Jiro's voice, he was blocked by enemy troops in front!

"Don't worry, General Koizumi. I'll be right there!"

Wang Li swung his sword furiously, and at the same time kept shouting to the surrounding soldiers, "Charge, charge!"

at last.

After a stick of incense, Wang Li led hundreds of soldiers and rushed out of the enemy's blockade.

But when they found Koizumi Juichiro, there were scars on his body that were so deep that you could see the bones.

If it weren't for the protection of dozens of soldiers, Koizumi Jiro would have died on the spot in the northwest.

"General Koizumi, are you okay?"

Wang Li couldn't believe it.

Koizumi Juichiro, who was leading his troops to fight just now, became so weak in the blink of an eye.

"Why didn't you come earlier?!"

Koizumi Jiro grabbed Wang Li's arm and asked with red eyes: "Why didn't you come to help me earlier!?"

"I……"

As soon as Wang Li opened his mouth, he saw Koizumi Jiro's eyes wide open, and the arm that was holding him also dropped weakly, "General Koizumi, General Koizumi!"

"Damn it!"

Wang Li raised his hand and touched the tip of Koizumi Jiro's nose tentatively, and immediately became furious.

died.

He died just like that.

"Revenge for General Koizumi!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

……

"The general is a fierce villain, and we can't stop him at all!"

"General, please retreat. If you don't, you won't be able to leave."

"General!"

"shut up!"

Hei Chi Shaci interrupted the deputy general who wanted to evacuate with an angry voice and looked at the figures falling down in the fog in front of him.

Among these figures, there are the allied forces of the two countries and the Tang army.

How could he allow Wang Li to break through the Han River defense line when he had 40,000 troops under his command? !

"The king has treated me well, and today I will repay him with my life."

"All soldiers, follow me to annihilate the Tang army!"

"kill!"

Heichi Shaci took the lead, and the personal soldiers beside him followed closely.

After a brief hesitation, some of the remaining deputy generals gritted their teeth and roared, and rushed towards the fog with their troops.

The battle lasted until dawn.

As a ray of light rose in the east and the sun rose, the thick fog covering both sides of the Han River dissipated little by little.

South Bank of the Han River.

A large number of corpses and wounded were lying all over the place, and blood gradually gathered like a stream and flowed into the Han River.

Wang Li, along with more than a hundred personal soldiers around him, sat on the ground panting.

They succeeded.

Before dawn, they successfully repelled the coalition forces of the two countries guarding the south bank.

but.

In this battle, their losses were also heavy.

Wang Li stood up and shouted to the soldiers, "Those who are still alive, come here!"

One by one, the soldiers got up from the ground.

Some were seriously injured and were only able to walk with the help of others, while others were covered with bruises and bloodshot eyes.

of course.

More soldiers were lying on the ground wailing, unable to stand up.

Wang Li counted the number of people. In this battle, 30,000 elite soldiers crossed the river and defeated the defenders on the southern front, but now there are only 3,000 people left.

Among these three thousand people, less than one thousand were still able to continue fighting.

tragic.

Wang Li sighed. Even Koizumi Juichiro died in the battle here, let alone those ordinary soldiers?

If he had not been protected by some personal soldiers, the wounds on his body would have cost him his life many times over.

"Have you spotted the enemy commander?"

"General, the enemy commander, Heichi Shaci, has been killed!"

"died?"

Wang Li was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Heichi Shaci would die here.

then.

He saw a soldier holding up Blacktooth Shaci's head from his waist.

"General, during the fight just now, I saw that this man was protected by his personal soldiers and had extraordinary fighting power, so I worked with my comrades to kill him and cut off his head."

"Good good!"

Wang Li couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They lost one Koizumi Juichirō, and one of the main generals of the allied forces of the other two countries, Kurochika Saji, also died in this battle.

happy!

"If General Koizumi knew about this, he would be overjoyed!"

Wang Li said in a deep voice: "Seal up his head and wait for the prince to verify it. When the time comes, the prince will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, General."

"Young Master."

Wang Li turned his head to look at the guards beside him, "Take three hundred soldiers and go to the enemy camp to search for usable medicinal herbs."

"If you encounter the enemy's remnants, you must not fight them. Just withdraw and select 20 lightly injured soldiers to be on guard."

"I humble my position and take orders."

After watching Shao Lang and the others leave, Wang Li sat down on the ground.

In this battle, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The most important thing at the moment is to go to the enemy’s camp and collect medicinal materials to treat the injuries.

Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died.

"Everyone gather together and be careful."

Wang Li reminded again, "Although we successfully defeated the coalition forces of the two countries and killed Black Tooth Shaci, there is no guarantee that there will be no remnants of the enemy who want to come and loot the bodies."

"Kim Yu-shin of Silla is not in the camp. He has many soldiers around him, so we should be careful."

Hear the words.

Many soldiers supported each other, slowly gathered together, and bandaged each other's wounds.

soon.

Shao Lang came back with a large amount of medicinal herbs and came to Wang Li.

"General, there are indeed some remnants of soldiers stationed in the camp, but after seeing us approaching, they fled in panic like dogs that have lost their homes."

"I captured a person alive and found some medicinal herbs in the camp. We can use them to stop the bleeding."

"very good."

Wang Li nodded and immediately ordered people to distribute all the herbs.

at the same time.

Kim Yu-shin, who was frustrated about not being able to find the trace of Koizumi Jushiro and others, encountered a group of deserters fleeing in panic on his way back with his troops!

"Stop them!"

A bad premonition arose in Kim Yu-shin's heart.

Jin Yuxin immediately arranged his soldiers to stop some deserters, and learned from these people that Wang Li and his men took advantage of the darkness and fog to cross the Han River last night and launched an attack on them!
"Damn it!"

Jin Yuxin's face immediately changed, "Where is General Blacktooth?"

"General, he..."

"what happened?"

"Died in battle!"
