Chapter 322 322
"Look, General!" After pouring a glass of wine for Zhou Baotong, Hetian Dongyi pointed ahead and said.
Zhou Baotong looked ahead and found that the white flag had been raised on the opponent's main ship.
The white flag symbolizes surrender, the two armies are fighting, and one side raises the flag of surrender, then this represents the meaning of the other side surrendering.
The two sides had not yet fought by boat, and the Silla and Baekje coalition forces raised white flags, which made Zhou Baotong stunned.
He thought that if the other party wanted to surrender, he would have to wait until he fought by boat.
didn't expect the other party to choose to surrender directly under the deterrence of the fire bomb, but seeing the other party surrender, Zhou Baotong smiled, touched the wine glass and drank the glass and said: "Don't eat this meal first, accept their surrender first!" ”
He Tian Dong nodded, and the other party raised the white flag, while Zhou Baotong's side sent three transport ships close to their main ship and let their senior generals board the transport ship.
Of course, the reason for this is to prevent a fraudulent surrender, so only three transports will be sent into their fleet, and then their main generals will land on the transports, and then on our main ship.
As long as the opponent's main general arrives on our main ship, the opponent will not be afraid even if he surrenders, and the fleet without the leader is not afraid.
When the transport ship heading to the enemy's main ship returned, Zhou Baotong understood what was going on, this was an internal problem of the other party.
Zhou Baotong looked at Jin An: "You are the commander of this coalition?" ”
Jin An nodded: "The commander of the defeated army, it is me, if you want to kill or scrape, listen to it!" "Jin An is actually unwilling to surrender, he wants to die in battle, and he doesn't want to surrender like this.
Although he was the commander-in-chief, the armies he commanded were the armies of the two countries, and whenever there was a difference of opinion, it was easy for civil strife to occur.
Zhou Baotong looked at the soldier beside him and said, "Untie him!" ”
Zhou Baotong didn't have the idea of killing Jin An, after all, the two armies were fighting, and the scale of losses on Zhou Baotong's side was very small, after all, he had not fought by boat, and after fighting by boat, the casualties would increase.
Zhou Baotong looked at the general Fu Yulong on the side, he knew that it was because of Fu Yulong, the war would be so easy, and the speed would end.
"Come with me!" Zhou Baotong asked the two of them to follow him to the table just now, and then Zhou Baotong looked at Hetian Dongyi and said, "Go and prepare three stools, you and I will dine together!" ”
He Tiandong was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Baotong to let him dine with him.
Then the four of them sat down at the small table, and Zhou Baotong's navy began to approach the enemy's fleet, and they were surrendered and reorganized.
Zhou Baotong looked at Jin An and her husband Yu Long and said, "The strength of Baekje and Silla is simply not able to compete with us!" ”
"Goguryeo, we can all compete, why can't the small Dongyi island country compete?" Jin An said with disdain.
"In this battle, we lost because our intelligence about you was inaccurate, and we didn't know that you had so many fleets!" Jin An looked at Zhou Baotong and said.
"Even if you knew, would you be able to win?" Wada Toichi on the side said.
"Can you Baekje coalition forces assemble such a large fleet as ours?" Toichi Wada asked again.
Jin An was silent, yes, even if he knew that the other party had such a huge fleet, they would not have so many fleets to fight.
And now the fleet they took out is their largest scale, many small sailboats, are levied by fishermen, of course, Zhou Baotong's 10,000 transport fleet, that is also a lot of fishermen.
"So you Baekje and Silla can't fight us at all, and you don't know what your opponent is yet!" Toichi Wada said on the side.
"Isn't it the Uesugi family that unified the Dongyi Island Country?" Jin An looked at Hetian Dongyi and said.
And Zhou Baotong smiled: "You are good, your real opponent is Daqi!" ”
"Daqi?" Jin An and his husband Yu Long were stunned, Qi State, they had heard of it, it was the vassal state of the empire.
"Now that the Qi State has been absorbed, the Dongyi Island Kingdom is now marching into your Baekje and Silla, and the target is your generational enemy 'Goguryeo'!" Zhou Baotong said to Jin An and her husband Yu Long.
Zhou Baotong's words made them stunned, they originally thought that they were facing the Dongyi Island Country, but they didn't expect that this would involve the princely state of the empire, the 'Qi State'.
The Great Zhou Empire, the overlord of the Asian continent, and the princes in other countries, any of them are the top forces in Asia.
They didn't expect that they would face the princes of the empire.
"I hope you two can persuade the monarchs of Baekje and Silla to surrender to Daqi, and we will treat you well!" Zhou Baotong looked at the two people and said.
Zhou Baotong hoped that these two people would persuade them to surrender, so that the landing battle could also be saved.
After all, the landing war is also a very difficult war, and this difficulty is no less than that of siege warfare.
Moreover, attacking from the sea requires a huge transportation of materials, and a day will consume ten times more resources than a land siege battle.
"You want me to surrender, my king?" Jin An looked at Zhou Baotong and asked.
Zhou Baotong nodded: "That's right, after all, as a general, I also have to think about the lives of soldiers, after all, the landing battle will be a war with very heavy casualties!" ”
"What's more, surrender is the really wise choice for you, I said so much, you also know the gap between you and us!" Zhou Baotong looked at Jin An and asked.
Jin An was silent, listening to Zhou Baotong's words, he knew that there was no hope of victory in this war, as long as Zhou Baotong made up his mind to land, with the support of the imperial princes Qi and Dongyi Island behind him, then Silla and Baekje would not be able to resist at all, unless they united Goguryeo.
However, Goguryeo had a feud with them, and if they united Goguryeo, they would be annexed by Goguryeo.
Rather than surrender to the Qi state, they were unwilling to surrender to Goguryeo.
Goguryeo had a feud with them, and there were many relatives who died at the hands of the Goguryeo people.
And the husband Yulong, who didn't speak on the side, looked at Zhou Baotong and said, "General, don't worry, I will definitely persuade the Grand Duke of Baekje to surrender to Daqi!" ”
Zhou Baotong nodded, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Then I'll give you a glass first!" ”
Fu Yulong and Zhou Baotong clinked glasses and drank together, Fu Yulong felt that with Baekje's national strength, it was impossible to confront the Qi country, which had already occupied the Dongyi Island country, and its huge national strength could not be guessed.
This is definitely not something that only Baekje in the land of projectiles can contend with, so his husband Yu Long must go back and persuade his monarch not to make unnecessary sacrifices, and only surrender is the best policy.
