Chapter 325 Sneak Attack on Sibi City

ww.x.om In January of the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Li Min, who was well prepared, finally launched an attack on Baekje from Silla. Twenty-five thousand Tang troops plus tens of thousands of Silla servants crossed the border between the two countries. Tigers generally pounced on the cities of Baekje.Facing such a ferocious attack by the Tang army, Baekje, which had already been exhausted in national strength, had no power to resist at all. The army was defeated again and again, and soon lost a lot of land, and the country was in danger of subjugation.

Under such circumstances, the [-] Japanese reinforcements stationed in Baekje were sent to the battlefield again. Unfortunately, this brutal army failed to continue the glory of the last time. It was first rushed by the Tang army with gunpowder and cavalry. The team was dispersed, and then surrounded by Silla servants. Silla people hated these Japanese troops who burned, killed and looted for a long time, so after surrounding this Japanese army, all Silla people seemed to go crazy. They killed the Wa people when they saw them, and finally the [-] troops were slaughtered by the vengeful Silla people.

When this news spread to the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, which had always chosen to endure after Li Yin blocked the Tsushima Strait, could not bear it any longer. The Soga family, who had power over the Wa Kingdom, summoned an army and prepared to formally intervene in the war between Li Yin and Baekje. However, there is a prerequisite for this, which is to break Li Yin's blockade of the strait. Unfortunately, this matter is too difficult. Japan's poor shipbuilding technology makes it impossible for them to compete with Datang's navy at sea.

It's just a pity that since the reunification of the Wa Kingdom, many people in their country could not clearly understand the gap between themselves and the Tang Dynasty, so under the influence of many aspects, the Wa Kingdom finally organized a navy of 4 people , more than 1000 warships, ready to win by numbers. After all, according to the news they got, the Datang Navy that blocked the strait only has more than 1 people.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that when the Japanese navy with more than 4 people went straight to Tsushima and Danluo, they suddenly found out.These two islands are actually empty, and the Datang navy stationed here has disappeared.This result shocked the people of the Wa Kingdom, thinking that this was a sign of the cowardice of the Tang Dynasty, and when the news spread to the country of the Wa Kingdom, it attracted countless nobles of the Wa Kingdom to revel, and at the same time strengthened their determination that the Kingdom of Wa had already had a relationship with the Tang Dynasty. counterbalance the strength.Capital Datang 325

Datang's avoidance of war inspired the Japanese people, but the commander of the Japanese navy, Shang Tianxie, did not relax his vigilance, nor was he in a hurry to transport the army to Baekje.Instead, they looked for traces of the Datang Fleet everywhere, and wanted to eliminate the hidden danger at sea after the Datang Navy was wiped out first, and then it would not be too late to transport troops.

Sibi City, the capital of Baekje, is located in the lower reaches of the Jinjiang River Basin. To the west is the endless sea. Because of this, Sibi City is also a relatively important port city. Many seagoing ships will be at the mouth of Jinjiang River. Dock at the place, clean up the various appendages on the bottom of the ship.

It's just that because of the war between Li Yin and Baekje, the route from Datang to Baekje suddenly became cold.Sibi City was even more affected, and the fleet was rarely seen on the vast open sea.At most, the small boats of some fishermen along the coast will drift at sea, working hard one day to earn food for the next day.

Just off the coast to the southwest of Sibi City, there is a deserted island a hundred miles away from the port. Because there is no water or vegetation on this island, merchant ships seldom stop here. Tow the boat over and check it out.And now, with the desolation of this commercial route, even less people came to this unnamed deserted island.

However, a group of uninvited guests came to this unnamed deserted island today, and these people were all riding huge sea boats.He brought countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to this island, and then began the final rest before the war.These people are naturally the Datang Navy that has disappeared for a long time, but in addition to Lu Qing's 5000 people, there is an additional 1 troops.

"General, let's retreat without fighting this time. It makes people feel useless to think about it!" In a tent on the shore of a deserted island, a rough-looking young general slapped his thigh fiercely, with a very unwilling expression on his face. growled.This person was Zhu Chong who led people to rob the Japanese fleet last time. Seeing how annoyed he was, he was obviously very dissatisfied with avoiding the war this time.

But looking at this angry young man, Lu Qing, who was sitting in the main seat, took a sip of tea very calmly, and then said with a smile: "Zhu Chong, what's the point of retreating for a while, as long as this time If the plan is successful, we will fight back immediately, and then let those Japanese know who is the overlord of the sea?"

In fact, Zhu Chong also knew that the avoidance of the war was not because they were afraid of those Japanese boats. To quickly end the war with Baekje, and in order to avoid heavy casualties in the war, they did not hesitate to spare a large circle and count Baekje and Wa.

"Oh, well, let those Japanese people be arrogant for a few more days, and then I will definitely use a boat to smash them into pieces!" Zhu Chong said bitterly, clenching his fists and puffing his cheeks.

"Hahaha~, is General Zhu losing his temper again?" As soon as Zhu Chong's words fell, a hearty laughter came from outside the tent, and then the tent was thrown open, and a middle-aged man with a strong figure He walked in with a burly young man one after the other.

Seeing these two people, Zhu Chong immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "General Su, brother Rengui, have you resettled your 1 people?"

It was Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui who came in. This time Li Yin sent them here to complete a beheading plan.Although in the head-on confrontation with Baekje, the Tang army was almost unstoppable, but Li Yin was still not satisfied with the progress of the attack, so he came up with such a plan. He sent Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui to Pyongyang City, once again borrowed [-] elite soldiers from Zhang Jian, and then sent them to Sibi by Lu Qing's navy to capture the capital of Baekje in one fell swoop, so as to end the war early.

On the other hand, Lu Qing's navy can also avoid fighting recklessly with the Japanese navy. It is estimated that as soon as the news of their attack on Sibi spreads, the proud Japanese navy will come immediately. At that time, Lu Qing and the others waited for work with ease, and eliminated the largest sea power of the Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop. I believe that after this battle, the Wa Kingdom will be like a useless person with all his hands and feet cut off.

Su Dingfang heard Zhu Chong's words, sat down with Xue Rengui, and then said: "Don't worry, these ten thousand soldiers have experience in fighting on ships before, so they are in good health. Today they rest here for midnight, and then we set off overnight. Try to reach Sibi City in the early morning, and then you can catch them by surprise!"

Su Dingfang was Li Yin's old subordinate back then, and his qualifications were older than Lu Qing and Zhu Chong's. In addition, he was a rare general, so he was the head of the few people, but he and Xue Rengui were mainly in charge of 1 people. The infantry, Lu Qing and Zhu Chong are the generals of the navy.

"Don't worry, General Su, we've already got a very clear picture of the situation in Sibi's waters, and we have a compass and other tools, so even if you're sailing at night, you don't have to worry about getting lost. You can definitely reach Sibi tomorrow morning." Bie!" At this time, Lu Qing also promised with a smile.

With Lu Qing's guarantee, Su Dingfang finally nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Xue Rengui next to him and said, "Rengui, you are the forward to attack Sibi this time, if you have any difficulties, you can bring them up now , I will help you find a solution, otherwise if it comes to war, it will be too late."

In fact, Su Dingfang was still a little worried about Xue Rengui's deputy. Although he knew that this young man had performed well in the military academy and was considered a rare general, the other party had a huge shortcoming, that is, he had never been on the battlefield. Originally, a veteran on the battlefield like Su Dingfang would never give Xue Rengui such an important position as a striker, but before coming, Li Yin personally appointed Xue Rengui as the striker for this battle, so Su Dingfang had to obey.

However, although Xue Rengui is young, after studying in the military academy for a year, his demeanor has become more calm. After listening to Su Dingfang's words, he pondered for a while, and then said: "General, although Sibi City is near the sea, its The main city is still some distance away from the coast. If we landed from the port, the other party would have already been prepared when we rushed under the main city. Fortunately, Sibi is still facing the Jinjiang River, so the general thought, right? You can use a boat to go up the Jinjiang River and send us to the city of Sibi, and then launch a fierce attack at this time, which will definitely have the effect of surprise soldiers!" Capital Datang 325

Hearing Xue Rengui's suggestion, Su Dingfang also felt that it was feasible, but he had to ask Lu Qing's opinion, after all, he was familiar with the waters there, and it was up to Lu Qing whether he could use a boat to go up the river.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment after hearing this, and immediately nodded and said: "General Xue's plan is feasible, the waterway of the Jinjiang River can allow small boats to pass through, and then we can split into two groups. First, we will use our navy to attract the opponent's attention. Then send the fastest vehicles and boats to carry General Xue into Jinjiang, and after we defeat the water army in Sibi City, General Su can lead the army to help General Xue!"

Hearing Lu Qing's words, Xue Rengui immediately showed an excited smile.It was his first time to participate in the war, but he did not expect to be awarded such an important position by His Royal Highness Qi Wang. Although he believed that he could do a good job, he was also under a lot of pressure. Now that his opinions have been adopted, it is natural Give him a boost of confidence.

And Su Dingfang also looked at Xue Rengui with some satisfaction. It seems that this top student in the military academy is indeed a good seed. No wonder His Highness values ​​him so much.

"Okay! According to what Rengui said, everyone hurry up and rest. Tomorrow I will fight Baekje!" Su Dingfang also said ambitiously. Since he is the first veteran to follow His Highness King Qi, he must Make a show and let these later generals take a look, they are not vegetarians who were born as royal guards!
