Chapter 568: A Planned Rush March
"Ren Rail, if we don't go to Bhwasa City, go directly to the sea to reach the mouth of Huangshui, and then go straight to Pyongyang City, how long will it take?"
Taking advantage of Su Dingfang's going down to arrange the task, Li Yuanba turned his head to look at Liu Renliang and asked about the distance between here and Pyongyang City.
"If we only take the water route and don't take the land route, we will have to travel at least more than 100 miles."
Liu Renliang lay on the table, I don't know where to get a ruler, and after comparing it back and forth on the scale map drawn by Li Yuanba for a long time, he continued with certainty:
"Lord Wang, although the city of Pyongyang is a little far away from our Datang, the state town where the city is located is built on top of Huangshui, plus the boundary of Huangshui, there is no natural risk to rely on at all, it is completely connected by a bridge, so for us, there is no difficulty in entering that state town!"
"Oh? Do you mean that we can take advantage of the water to go straight to Pyongyang's state and town? ”
Li Yuanba lowered his head and looked at the city of Pyongyang on the map, and continued:
"In this case, we can go ashore ten miles away from Pyongyang, and then quietly advance along both sides of the strait, directly attacking its east and west gates!"
"The prince's plan is very good!"
Wang Jun is like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, playing the role of a wise military advisor, he holds a small wooden stick in his hand, points to the terrain on the map, and says:
"With the mobility of our Shenwuwei, after going ashore, we can completely drive straight in, and it will be decided in a battle! However, there is still a dilemma at the moment, that is, what about the Goguryeo people who escaped by taking advantage of the chaos of Fang Cai? This time they failed to attack our Datang, if they tell the news to the Goguryeo people along the way, I am afraid that we have set this strategy......"
When he said this, Wang Jun stopped.
It's not that Wang Jun is pouring cold water on everyone, but this situation may indeed exist.
This time. Li Yuanba spoke: "If we march all the way, how many hours will it take to reach the city of Pyongyang?" ”
Liu Renliang frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Our current ship is a sailboat, which is three times faster than a normal warship. If the wind is strong, it will take us about two hours, but if the wind is weak, we will need manpower to urge it, and it will take about five hours! In addition, we entered the mouth of the Huangshui Sea, and we had to travel about 15 miles to the east. The former's time is wasted overland; The latter, on the other hand, is a waste of time in both directions. ”
"Lord Wang, are we in a hurry?"
After arranging the task, Su Dingfang, who hurried back, just heard Liu Renliang's words, so he asked casually.
Li Yuanba didn't speak, but Wang Jun said: "General Su, the only thing we have to do now is to be able to catch those escaped Goguryeo thieves." Otherwise, they would have to reach Pyongyang before they could and attack Pyongyang. ”
"yes, if you don't catch those guys. I'm afraid that our plan to raid Goguryeo will be frustrated, although it will not necessarily fail, but it will be more or less a trouble! ”
Su Dingfang heard Wang Jun's words. I immediately understood the key.
In any case, if you want Datang to develop, you want to vigorously develop shipping, and even go to other continents. Dengzhou is a vital place.
And here, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and even the small countries of Wa are often angry about Dengju. Scrambling attacks. If these small places are not dealt with, or if they are not completely destroyed, Dengzhou will not want to develop.
"Okay, if you delay here any longer, I'm afraid that those Goguryeo thieves will really have to flee back to Pyongyang, and order the army to start immediately!"
Li Yuanba was not in the mood to continue to discuss here, and if he went, what if he went deep into the hinterland of Goguryeo?
Having experienced strong winds and waves, coupled with so many powerful firearms, is it possible that the dignified Shenwuwei army will still be afraid of a small Goguryeo?
……
On the sea more than ten miles southeast of the sailboat on which Li Yuanba and the others were riding, there was a medium-sized awning boat, rowing at great speed on the dark sea at night.
Dozens of strong men with dragons and tigers, almost with oars in their hands, threw off their arms and rowed desperately in the direction of Goguryeo.
Awning boats, equally pitch black in the awnings.
Quangai Wujiang's face was iron-blue, so black, he couldn't even see his face in the awning boat.
"My lord, what do we do now?" General Jin furrowed his brows, revealing half of his white teeth.
"What should I do?" Quangai Wujiang glanced at General Jin and said, "Back to Pyongyang, only by returning to Pyongyang can we leave a life!" ”
"But......" General Jin hesitated for a moment and said: "This time we came with 20,000 elites of the clan, but we didn't even come into contact with those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the 20,000 elites of the clan were completely dispersed. ”
"Huh, explain? Do they still have the face to confess? Quangai Wujiang's face was hideous, "The secret spies in the clan didn't even know what weapons the other party had, so they let us go and attack Dengzhou, didn't this send us to the Tang Army to be slaughtered?" Dare to confess, Lao Tzu killed them all! ”
At this time, General Jin stopped talking, because he knew that Quangai Wujiang was not angry, and Quangai Wujiang really could do this!
If you stimulate him again at this time, it will really be called death!
After a long time, it seemed that he felt a little depressed about the silence in the canopy boat, and Quangai Wujiang said:
"Alright, I'll put the rest aside for now! All we have to do now is rush back to China as soon as possible and inform Su Wen of this matter! If it is one step late, our Goguryeo country will be doomed! ”
……
After sailing on the sea for about an hour, Li Yuanba, who took a nap, walked outside the cabin and looked at the full moon in the sky, and said to Liu Ren:
"Ren Rail, where has our ship gone now?"
Liu Renliang looked at the environment on the sea, and then lay on the map and looked at it for a long time, then pointed to the map and said, "Here, we should be here." ”
"Is it more than halfway there?" Li Yuanba looked at the map along Liu Renliang's finger and said, "So fast?" ”
Liu Renliang nodded and smiled, and said, "Lord Wang, it's also our luck!" It's rare to encounter a strong wind on the sea today, but fortunately there are no signs of heavy rain in this weather, otherwise, we would be miserable! ”
"Did you see the fleeing Goguryeo warships along the way?"
According to the calculation that the speed of the sailing ship is three times higher than that of ordinary warships, how can it catch up with the fleeing Goguryeo thieves? (To be continued......)
