Capital Datang

ww.x.om Under the leaden gray sky, there is a sea that can't be seen in the heart. The blue sea surface in the past has become a dark dark blue in this gloomy weather. It looks very heavy, and on this heavy sea, there is a huge fleet moving forward, as if not worried about the coming storm at all.

"General, do you think those Japanese have the guts to fight us on the sea?" On the largest flagship in the middle of the fleet, the fierce-looking Zhu Chong asked Lu Qing who was studying the chart, his face full of eagerness to try.

Lu Qing said without turning his head: "Don't worry, those Japanese are always arrogant. Last time we deliberately avoided fighting to make their arrogance even stronger. Even if we know that we have wiped out a hundred Ji, but they will never be afraid of us, so they will definitely be waiting for us in the Strait of Tsushima!"

Hearing Lu Qing's words, Zhu Chong became even more excited. The previous avoidance of the battle had already made him feel angry. He wanted to fight the Japanese people a long time ago, and let them know who is the overlord of the sea?It was precisely this kind of thought that Zhu Chong was most worried about was that when the news of Baekje's demise reached the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom would withdraw the [-] sailors. Then he would have nothing to fight. Now After hearing Lu Qing's judgment, he was finally relieved.

The weather on the sea is changeable. Originally, in this gloomy weather, many old crew members judged that there would be a heavy rainstorm. Unfortunately, this time they lost their eyes. The rainstorm that was about to fall was delayed It hasn't set yet, and the dark clouds in the sky have not dissipated, so it has been overcast, and I don't know what God's plan is?Capital Datang 328

But regardless of whether the rain will fall or not, Lu Qing and the others are not worried. After all, with the excellent performance of the warships under their feet, as long as there is no big storm, there will be no major problems. The harsh winter had just passed, and it was clearly not the time for storms.So there is nothing to worry about at all, and there are even many soldiers who are looking forward to the rain soon, when they can store more fresh water, maybe they can take a bath and rub the old mud on their bodies .However, Lu Qing didn't care about these trivial matters. After directing the fleet to find the direction, he rushed into the Tsushima Strait for the second time.

This time was the same as last time, Lu Qing's first stop was still Danluo.After their entire army withdrew from the Tsushima Strait last time, Danluo was occupied by the Japanese navy.Lu Qing originally thought that he would encounter the Japanese navy here, so he made preparations for battle early on, but only when he got here did he find that the Japanese navy stationed here had already retreated.

"General, you are back, please don't leave again!" As soon as Lu Qing and the others landed on the island, King Du Luo of Danluo brought his people and cried to him.Du Luo's appearance can be said to be very miserable, the iconic cotton clothes he used to wear are gone, and his body is the same as that of the subjects behind him.Just use some burlap to cover the whole body, although the temperature on the island is not too low.But Du Luo, including the people around him, were all shivering, obviously the linen cloth on his body was not warm at all.

"How did you make it look like this?" Lu Qing asked with a frown. Last time when they occupied Danluo, they asked Du Luo to call the residents on the island to help build the port, and the other party was very cooperative, which made Lu Qing Very satisfied, and I have a good impression of Douro.Later, they also agreed to allow the soldiers to make some transactions with the residents of the island. This move greatly promoted Danluo's economic growth, and even several nobles on the island who were second only to Duluo put on cotton clothes.But what I saw now was a group of beggar-like Danluo nobles.

"General, you don't know that those Japanese people are simply a group of beasts. They came to the island to grab food, clothes and women. As long as we could move the things on the whole island, they robbed almost all of them. And this is not bad, even the young women on the island have been taken away, and now they are all sent to Tsushima Island, I beg the general to be the master for us!" Du Luo cried with snot and tears.

Their Danluo population is only in the early [-]s, and they have no ability to protect themselves. They used to be dependent on Baekje, and they surrendered to Lu Qing and the others last time, but no matter whether it is Baekje or Lu Qing, they just need Danluo's support. Geographical location, there is not much malice towards their country, but the Japanese country is different. These short Japanese people are very arrogant, and they will grab whatever they see, and the islanders may lose their lives if they resist a little. In a few days, their Danluo food, clothing, etc. were almost robbed, and even a lot of young women were robbed, so the people on the island hated the Japanese people to the bone.

After listening to Du Luo's words, Lu Qing was not surprised at all. The [-] soldiers sent by the Wa Kingdom to the Baekje battlefield at the beginning also made the Silla people tormented enough. Later, after those Japanese were surrounded by the Silla people, I heard that all of them were chopped into meat by Silla people, which shows how hated those Japanese people are.

Although Lu Qing was a bit disapproving of the fact that the Japanese country harmed Danluo, after all, this is not the Tang Dynasty, and Danluo is not their vassal state, so naturally it is not possible to talk about protection, but because of the more pleasant feelings of the previous cooperation, coupled with Innately, he had some sympathy for Danluo, so Lu Qing still comforted the other party with a few words, and assured the other party that if Tsushima Island was captured, those Danluo women who had been robbed would be brought back.

Lu Qing and the others came here to fight the Wa people, and Tsushima Island is one of the keys to controlling the people of Tsushima Strait, so they will definitely be defeated in the future. If those Danluo women are really on the island, It's not difficult to send a favor, and Danluo can remember this kindness, so they might be able to use them for anything in the future.

Hearing that General Lu of Tang Dynasty really agreed to help, Du Luo was very grateful. As for the questions Lu Qing asked next, he naturally knew everything about it.

And Lu Qing learned from Du Luo that there were originally 200 Japanese navy troops stationed on Danluo Island, and there were more than [-] ships, but most of them were small boats, which were not comparable to their warships at all. According to Luo's words, one warship in Lu Qing's hands is more than the ten warships of the Japanese.

Originally, the ten thousand Japanese were stationed in Danluo, but they seemed to have received some news two days ago, and then quickly retreated. At first, Danluo was still wondering what happened, but now it seems that the Japanese must have received the news. The news of Lu Qing's return, that's why they retreated.

"Then do you know where these Japanese retreated?" Lu Qing continued to ask.

"This..." Du Luo recalled after hearing this, and then said, "General Qi, I don't know exactly where they went, but judging from the direction they left, they should be heading north, which is probably very likely." They retreated to Tsushima Island."

Lu Qing nodded after hearing this. This point is similar to what he guessed. The Tsushima Strait is the main road leading to the mainland from Japan. They will definitely not give up easily. Since they withdrew from Danluo Island, it is likely to shrink their troops. All return to Tsushima Island, and use this as a base to fight them to the death.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing waved Du Luo and the others to go down, but he called all the generals in the sea to a meeting to discuss the next strategy against the enemy. As a result, all the generals agreed that they were far superior to each other in terms of strength, so there was no need to play Whatever the trick, just sail the ship directly to Tsushima Island to fight the opponent.

After hearing this, Lu Qing smiled slightly. Although he also had this idea, he couldn't take it lightly at any time. Even if he rushed directly like this, he still had some skills to use.

Lu Qing and the others rested in Danluo for two days, then set sail and headed north along the strait, aiming at Tsushima Island. Although it is not yet certain whether the main fleet of Wa Kingdom is on the island, but this is the Tsushima Strait throat, so it must be in your hands anyway.

However, Lu Qing and the others did not go straight to the island. Instead, they first stationed on a deserted island two or three hundred miles away from Tsushima Island, and then sent a small fleet to Tsushima Island. The situation on the island, on the other hand, test the reaction of the Japanese people.Capital Datang 328

As a result, this small fleet successfully captured a patrol fleet sent from the island, and then learned from them that the Wa people indeed mobilized all the navy to Tsushima Island, and it was not the previous 4 Instead, they mobilized another [-] sailors from the country, adding up to [-] and thousands of warships. Although they were all small boats, if they surrounded Lu Qing and the others, they might not be incapable of fighting.

After inquiring about these situations clearly, this small fleet did not kill the captured Japanese, but threatened the other party to let them lead the way. Relying on the characteristics of their own ship's strong and fast speed, they harassed around Tsushima Island Japanese people, and by the way, get a general idea of ​​the layout of the Japanese people on Tsushima Island.

The Japanese on Tsushima Island had already received the news of Lu Qing’s arrival. Originally, the commander of the Japanese navy was a relatively sober person. I plan to wait for work with leisure, and I plan to rely on the fortifications on Tsushima Island to offset the advantage of the Tang army's warships.

It's a pity that Lu Qing had seen through the opponent's plan long ago, so he didn't take the initiative to attack at all. Instead, after the small fleet he sent found out the situation on Tsushima Island, he immediately sent several small fleets to attack on Tsushima Island. Cruising around the island, when encountering a Japanese fleet, they will fight if they can, and if they can’t, they will call other teams to fight again. In a short period of time, Tsushima Island has been isolated from the outside world. If most of them are not used, the people on the island Can't get out at all.

All the Japanese people on Tsushima Island were very angry at the arrogant provocation of the Datang Navy. Many people clamored for a decisive battle with the Tang people, and the voice became louder and louder. In the end, even the commander of the Japanese navy could not suppress it. The voice of going to sea for a decisive battle even put pressure on him in the country of Wa. The first big sea battle finally came.
