Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 572 Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao
"How is the situation in Silla?" Li Canghai asked while rubbing his chin.

"Most of the cities in Silla have been captured by the Japanese and Baekje allied forces. As far as the general knows, there are only [-] or so cities in Silla that are struggling and waiting for our rescue." Gao Xianzhi said.

"Send the order, all the ships will divert and go to Baekje!" Li Canghai said after thinking about it in his heart.

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals were shocked.

"Marshal, Silla is in danger and is waiting for our rescue. Why did we divert to Baekje? Besides, if we fail to reach Silla on time, we will be dealt with by military law!" Feng Changqing said in surprise.

Li Canghai glanced at him, and said indifferently: "East and Baekje have more than 4 allied troops. Our mere [-] troops won't be of much use. The most important thing right now is not to return to Silla on time. It is to solve the danger of Silla. Baekje sent [-] troops. Although it captured many cities in Silla, it also made its rear defense weak. If you want to solve the crisis of Silla, the best way is to "surround Wei and save Zhao". Before the Allied Forces of Japan and Baekje have a clear idea of ​​our direction, they will surprise Baekje with surprise troops and cut off its rear, if this happens, the Baekje army will lose their minds!"

"A brilliant plan! It really is a brilliant plan!" Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others' eyes lit up, and they immediately understood Li Canghai's arrangement.

"The last general will convey the order to let all the ships speed up and rush to Baekje as soon as possible!" After Su Hai handed over, he ordered the flag soldiers to pass on the order to divert the route.

The navigation technology of the Tang Dynasty has reached a very high level, and all ships are equipped with waterwheels.

The so-called waterwheel is a power device similar to a water windmill. This water windmill generates power by pumping water through pedals, which can avoid the limitations of sails, increase the flexibility of warships, and protect the safety of sailors.

At the same time, with the gear mechanism and the power of the sail, the speed of sailing can be increased to an incredible level.

According to Su Hai, if there is no strong wind to stop, Datang's ships can reach a speed of [-] miles a day.

Four hundred ships, like a group of mad sharks, sailed mightily and fast on the sea surface with the help of the wind.

As the evening approached, the Datang army arrived in the Baekje waters.

"Marshal, [-] miles ahead is the mouth of Xiongjin, and beyond the mouth of Xiongjin is the border of Baekje." On board the boat, Gao Xianzhi pointed into the distance.

Li Canghai nodded, and asked Su Hai to order all the ships to drop anchor on the spot, and then sent the boat to check the situation.

After half an hour, the scouts who went to investigate the situation returned quickly, and a scout boarded the general ship.

"Report to Marshal, there are hundreds of warships at Xiongjinkou, but there are not many guards." The scout clasped his fists and said.

Gao Xianzhi stroked his beard, and said to Li Canghai: "It seems that everything is as the Marshal thought, and the troops in the Baekje rear area are seriously insufficient."

Li Canghai nodded, and said calmly: "Send the order, all the ships line up in an arrow formation, and rush through Xiongjin's mouth at the fastest speed!"

After Su Hai heard this, he immediately took the flag in his hand and directed it himself.

After all, the Suan Ni Army is the elite navy of the Tang Dynasty. Although they have long since lost their usefulness, they have never given up training.

Under Su Hai's command, the four hundred ships immediately changed into an arrow formation.

Headed by the sea falcon, followed by the fighting ships, walking boats and boat boats, lined up on both sides.The yacht is like the stars arching the moon, guarding the buildings and boats.

Xiongjinkou is a narrow and long estuary with fast-flowing water and complex terrain.

Baekje built a fortress here, guarded by an elite navy, which can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In the past, there were more than [-] defenders at Xiongjinkou alone, and it was no easy task to attack Xiongjinkou.

But now, Baekje has sent troops to Silla on a large scale, reducing the number of guards at Xiongjinkou to less than [-]. This is not a threat at all to the well-equipped Tang army.

Tang Jun formed an arrow formation, looking down from top to bottom, like a giant arrow with a length of several miles, flying away from the blue sea toward the mouth of Xiongjin like a broken bamboo.

The Baekje sergeants guarding the mouth of Xiongjin suddenly found the Tang army's fleet rushing from the sea, they were frightened, jumped into the warships in a hurry, lined up at the entrance of the sea, and tried to stop the Tang army.

However, compared with Tang Jun's ships, Baekje's ships are not worth mentioning at all.

The ships of the Tang army are all made by nailing and tenon joints, so the building ships can be as high as five stories, and they are extremely strong, and they are not easy to sink even if they run aground. Single-layer, the tension of the hull is small, once it is bumped or bumped by huge waves, it will fall apart.

Four hundred warships can be said to be the most advanced warships of this era, rushing towards the defense of the Baekje Navy at an extremely fast speed.

bang bang bang~~~
There were bursts of crashing sounds, accompanied by countless screams of falling into the water, and nearly a hundred Baekje warships were smashed to pieces without even holding on for half an hour.

After breaking through the defense of Baekje, Feng Changqing immediately led his army to the shore and killed them.

Shocking shouts of killing and countless wailing voices resounded from the entire Xiongjinkou.

Tens of thousands of Tang troops fought against thousands of Baekje troops. This was a war without any suspense.

From the start of the attack to the end of the battle, the whole process took less than half an hour.

On the boat, Li Canghai waved his feather fan, looking at everything in front of him calmly, with a deep and deep light flashing from his eyes from time to time.

At this time, Feng Changqing walked from the shore to the building, and he held his fists at Li Canghai and said solemnly: "Marshal, this time, we have sunk a hundred and twenty Baekje ships, killed more than a thousand enemies, and captured more than four hundred people."

Li Canghai nodded, said good-bye lightly, and then said to Gao Xianzhi: "General Gao, I ordered you, together with General Feng, to lead the Jingbian Army to march by land and conquer the city all the way to the royal capital of Baekje, the real capital city. !"

"The last general takes orders!" Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing said immediately without any doubt about Li Canghai's order.

"Su Hai listens to the order, integrates all the ships, and follows the general from the waterway to attack the real capital city!" Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Su Hai immediately knelt down and said: "The last general takes orders, and the last general will go and give orders!" "

Li Canghai shook his feather fan, clasped his fists at Gao Xianzhi and the others and said, "Generals, let's meet up in Zhendu City!"

All the generals clasped their fists in salute at the same time, solemnly said: "Marshal, don't worry, the last general will live up to Marshal's expectations!"

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Thank you, generals."

All the generals got up, saluted Li Canghai again, then immediately went down the stairs and led a mighty army of [-] troops to march from Xiongjinkou to Baekje King City.

To say that Baekje is also unlucky, during the Gojong period, the general of the Tang Dynasty defeated the Goguryeo navy at Xiongjinkou.
