Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 567
In order to help Li Canghai, after receiving Xuanzong's consent to dispatch the border elite, the Minister of War immediately took the lead and ordered Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing to lead their elite troops to assist Li Canghai.

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. They have distinguished military exploits and rich experience in the battlefield. Letting them follow Li Canghai will increase his chances of winning to some extent.

Li Canghai never thought that one day he could become a general leading an army of tens of thousands.

Normally, he would be very excited.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to lead tens of thousands of people into battle.

But right now, Li Canghai didn't have a trace of expectation or excitement, but was unusually dignified.

There may be a lot of 12 troops, but compared with Dongpu's [-] troops, it is nothing to mention.

Silla has been beaten and retreated steadily, with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The combined total of the two sides is less than half of the Japanese army. What is this if it is not death?
However, having these 3 people is better than nothing, at least from the current point of view, this team has a certain combat effectiveness.

"Cang Hai, what are you thinking?" Seeing him staring out the window in a daze, Di Qing asked.

"Qing'er, what I'm most worried about is not the difference in numbers, but that these soldiers are all inland people. They are good at riding horses and are used to fighting on land. But Silla is located on the sea, so sea battles are definitely a must. I'm afraid they will get seasick. If this is the case, the combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened." Li Canghai said with a frown.

Upon hearing this, Di Qing asked in confusion, "Have you been to Silla? How do you know that Silla is near the sea?"

"I haven't been there, but I've heard of it." Li Canghai said vaguely.

"That's easy to do. You don't have to fight them at sea." Di Qing said.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "Qing'er, your thinking is too simple. The Dongying and Baekje allied forces will attack Silla together in two ways, and one of them is the waterway. Therefore, this naval battle is inevitable. "

"Then what should I do?" Di Qingxiu frowned and asked worriedly.

Li Canghai rubbed the center of his brows, looked at the dust flying outside, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it after arriving at Gulang Reef first!"

Gulang Reef is located on the southeast coast of Yanzhou, only a hundred miles away from Xiaqiu County. The army is non-stop, but when they arrive at Gulang Reef, it is already nightfall.

After ordering the army to station on the spot, Li Canghai immediately asked Gao Xianzhi to take him to the Suanni army camp.

China has established naval forces since the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Sui Dynasty, the navy had already formed a scale and began to fight at sea.

When Emperor Sui Yang attacked Goguryeo, his navy was the main force.

After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty reorganized and expanded the navy. After the development of the three generations of Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong, it was extremely perfect in terms of organization and equipment.

And this Suanni army is one of the famous nine dragon armies who followed Emperor Taizong on his expedition to Goguryeo in the past.

The Nine Dragon Army was set up by Emperor Taizong to protect the safety of the sea area of ​​the Tang Dynasty.

Although in recent years, the Datang navy has been useless for a long time, but during the reign of Gaozong, it had a brilliant record of destroying Goguryeo in one fell swoop.

The camp of the Suan Ni Army is close to the sea, and hundreds of huge warships are connected together by the sea, which looks very spectacular.

At this time, night fell, and countless bonfires were lit around the camp. The sailors gathered around the fire, drinking and eating meat, singing and laughing, looking uncomfortable.

Rows of weapons were randomly discarded on the ground, and the armors of the soldiers were covered with dust. Even the guards were holding the wine jars, drunk and dying.

"I didn't expect the famous Suanni Army in the past to be so decadent! Soldiers can't be soldiers, generals can't be generals, what a system!" Gao Xianzhi looked at the Suanni Army's barracks and said angrily.

Li Canghai glanced at the soldiers of the Suanni Army who were drunk and dreaming of death, and said indifferently: "Go directly to the camp of the Chinese Army and let the commander of the Suanni Army come out to meet me."

Gao Xianzhi nodded yes, then went to the camp of the Chinese army.

A moment later, Gao Xianzhi walked over with a gloomy expression.

"General Gao, what happened?" Li Canghai asked with a frown when he saw his expression was different.

"Return to the general, the commander of the Suanni army got drunk in the camp of the Chinese army." Gao Xianzhi said with anger on his face, "He also spoke rudely, so I asked the general to meet him in the tent of the Chinese army."

Li Canghai's face was indifferent, and he said indifferently: "What a powerful official, if that's the case, then I'll go see him."

In front of the camp of the Chinese army, several guards were lazily guarding outside the camp, holding the wine jar in their arms, sleeping soundly.

In the tent, several generals in armor could be vaguely seen lying on the table, drinking drunkenly with wine bowls in their hands.

Li Canghai winked, Lu Jitong nodded, and immediately walked over to lift up the curtain of the tent.

"Who is the commander of the Suan Ni Army? Why don't you get up and see the General of the Eastern Expedition?" Lu Jitong sternly shouted.

However, those generals didn't even bother to look at him, but they held the wine bowl and belched drunkly: "Come on, come on... finish this bowl... don't care what the general of the Eastern Expedition is. General of the Western Expedition... hiccup!"

"Eastern Expedition, who is the Eastern Expedition?...Now the world is at peace, and the Suan Ni Army is useless. Dong...East Expedition is a fart!...Haha!" The first person in the tent of the Chinese army had a bearded face, The rather rough-looking man was drunk and authentic.

The rest of the people laughed at the same time.

Lu Jitong and Gao Xianzhi's complexions darkened at the same time. They walked up to the man, one on the left and the other on the right, and immediately tied him up.

Looking at the people who looked like dead pigs, Li Canghai's face was a little ugly. He said a few words to the guard around him, and after the guard nodded, he immediately led the people away.

After a while, the guards walked in carrying several buckets of water from the deep well.

With a wave of Li Canghai's hand, the guards immediately poured well water from the bucket on several generals.

It was late autumn at this time, the temperature was low, and the well water soon formed a thin layer of ice.

When the bucket of ice water was poured, the generals suddenly woke up, jumping and screaming.

"Who? Who is so bold? Is this an attempt to rebel? Come on! Come on!" The bearded man yelled angrily while wiping his face with ice water.

The guards who were drinking and playing meat outside the camp surrounded the tents of the Chinese army camp after hearing the cries.

The Jianning iron guards who were guarding Li Canghai drew their weapons one after another, and immediately went up to meet him.

Seeing the cold eyes of the Jianning iron guards and the palpitating killing intent exuding from their bodies, those soldiers dared to step forward?

They looked at each other for a while, and the two sides confronted each other.

"Bold! Are you going to rebel? Open your eyes and take a good look at who is in front of you?" Lu Ji gathered his Qi in his dantian and let out a sharp shout.
