Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 627
At this time, nearly a thousand ships were docked at Sanjiangkou, and some Japanese pirates were decorating the looted wealth. Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were sent to the low and narrow cabins.

Dongying's ships are different from Datang's, and they cannot be compared with Datang's in terms of shipbuilding technology.

The long and narrow ship has only one floor, which is very simple compared with the ships of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Canghai did not come directly to Sanjiangkou to fight with him.

After all, less than 1 of the more than 2000 Suanni Army who are good at naval warfare have died, and these [-] people are still the people he left behind to watch the ship, which did not wipe out the entire Suanni Army.

Although more than 4 Tang troops came by boat, most of them were land troops and were not good at naval warfare. The Dongying Navy was different. Although their warships were simple, they were extremely good at naval warfare.

Li Canghai did not rush to send troops, but went to observe the situation in person, and after seeing the arrangement of the ships of the Dongying Navy clearly, Li Canghai ordered someone to issue a letter of challenge to the Dongying Navy.

In the camp, Li Canghai and the generals discussed the situation of the battle.

"General Su, in your opinion, how should the Dongying Navy respond?" Li Canghai asked while rubbing his chin.

Su Hai said in a deep voice: "According to the general's opinion, Dongpu's ships are simple and crude. In terms of combat power, it is difficult to compete with our army. Our army should directly charge with the fleet! Kill him and turn the boat over!"

"There are many ships in the Dongying Navy, I'm afraid it will not be an easy task to charge!" Gao Xianzhi frowned.

"Although the Japanese ships are crude, there are more than a thousand ships. If they are connected together, even if we use the fleet to charge, we may not be able to break through their defense line." Feng Changqing also said.

Su Hai rubbed his chin and said, "It's not difficult. I think the formation of Dongpu Navy ships is just the simplest square formation. It is not difficult to break this formation. Our army has six large ships. The sea falcon is the main force, and the battleships are the wings. Use the long snake formation to concentrate on attacking the weakest part of the formation, and then the formation can be broken."

"General Su, you are familiar with naval battles. In your opinion, what are the chances of winning with this method?" Li Canghai asked while rubbing his chin.

Su Hai thought for a while and said, "Even though there are many ships in Dongpu, they are relatively simple and can't withstand the impact at all. The more than [-] ships in our army are not only solid, but also well-equipped. The chance of winning should be more than [-]%."

Li Canghai glanced at him, nodded and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then follow what General Su said. There is an unnamed island twenty miles from the mouth of the Sanjiang River. Tomorrow I will personally lead a hundred ships to attract the enemy." Fang, the remaining [-] or so ships will be led by General Su, and they will occupy behind the unnamed island, and after the Dongpu ships chase after them, they will act according to General Su's plan."

When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised.

"Marshal, you are the commander-in-chief of an army, you must not take any chances! Let the last general handle the matter of attracting the enemy!" Gao Xianzhi said earnestly.

"Because I am the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, I have enough weight to lure the big fish to the bait. As long as they are lured to the back of the nameless island, it will be the death of the Japanese navy."

"But..." Gao Xianzhi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Canghai. He said in a deep voice, "I know what General Gao wants to say, but this is the only way to rescue those enslaved people. We can Take coercive means and directly kill the Dongpu Navy camp, but in that case, those enslaved people will encounter disaster."

"Marshal is going to save those people?" Gao Xianzhi was a little surprised. They went to investigate the situation before, but they never heard that he was going to save those people.

Li Canghai nodded heavily, and said: "I have already informed them of the destruction of the two armies of Dongying, and invited them to come to a decisive battle. By then, the Dongying camp will be empty of troops. General Gao, I will give you Two thousand soldiers and horses will definitely take this opportunity to attack the Dongying camp and rescue all the people!"

"Marshal, don't worry! The general will go all out!" Gao Xianzhi clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Marshal, what should we do if the Japanese pirates in Japan can't shrink back?" Su Hai frowned.

"They will definitely fight." Li Canghai said deeply.

"Why is the marshal so sure?" Everyone looked puzzled.

Li Canghai said indifferently: "If they can't shrink back, how can they fight against the [-] elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty with only the small camp at Sanjiangkou? Going to war is their only way to survive. If the generals of Dongpu can't even think of this, then How is it different from a pig?"

Everyone laughed at the same time.

However, Su Hai still asked worriedly: "What if they ran away overnight after hearing the news?"

Li Canghai sneered and said, "If they escape, we will take advantage of the victory and pursue them. Wouldn't it be better to hit the dog in the water with a stick?"

"The Marshal is right! This time, the Japanese pirates in Japan will be driven back to their hometown in Japan!" Su Hai said with clenched fists, his brows furious.

"Since this is the case, the generals will return to their respective camps for the time being. Today is the night to rest. Tomorrow, it is time to avenge the fallen soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Canghai said coldly.

After Gao Xianzhi and the others took the order, they all took their leave and left.

Li Canghai also returned to the cabin, and began to recharge his batteries and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

But no one noticed the resentment in the eyes of a white-haired old man outside the camp.

This person is none other than the Deputy Chief Superintendent Yu.

Previously, because of his arrogance and vain attempt to deal with Li Canghai, Li Canghai gave him a lesson and asked him to fight with the army.

During the first siege, he was thrown to the forefront by Li Canghai, but after all he was appointed by the emperor to oversee the army. Gao Xianzhi treated him politely and specially sent several experts to protect him.

In the end, several good guards who protected him all died, but the old eunuch survived.

Afterwards, everyone knew that the old eunuch had escaped by pretending to be dead, which made everyone hate him even more.

Although the old eunuch has no skills, his life is surprisingly tough. He survived the repeated battles with the Japanese army in Jincheng, which has to be said to be a miracle.

After Li Canghai threw him to Gao Xianzhi, because there were too many things to do, he forgot that there was such a person.

Even Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others forgot him, but this old eunuch couldn't forget Li Canghai's humiliation to him.

At that time, the defenders in the city decreased sharply, and the old eunuch was dragged into the battlefield, but he was lucky enough to survive, and followed Gao Xianzhi to the general's boat and became a guard, which made him unbearable.

He heard the discussions of several people clearly, which immediately made him feel a poisonous plan.

It was night, in a remote corner of the Tang army camp, the old eunuch was hiding in a dark corner with his back bent, as if waiting for something.
