Chapter 551: Ancient Wave Reef
In order to help Li Canghai, after obtaining Xuanzong's consent to transfer the elite on the border, Shangshu of the military department immediately took the lead and gave Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing an order to lead the elite division to assist Li Canghai.
Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing are famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the two have outstanding military achievements and rich battlefield experience, so let them follow Li Canghai and increase his chances of victory.
Li Canghai never imagined that one day he would be able to become a general leading tens of thousands of troops.
In normal times, he must have been excited.
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to lead tens of thousands of people into battle.
But at the moment, Li Canghai did not have a trace of expectation and excitement, but was unusually dignified.
An army of 30,000 may be a lot, but compared to Dongying's army of 120,000, it is simply not worth mentioning.
Silla has been defeated and retreated, and the soldiers and horses are only tens of thousands, and the two sides together are less than half of the Dongying army.
However, having these 30,000 people is better than nothing, at least for the time being, this team has a certain combat effectiveness.
"Canghai, what are you thinking?" Di Qing saw him staring out the window in a daze, so he asked.
"Qing'er, what I'm most worried about is not the disparity in numbers, but the fact that these soldiers are all from the interior, they are good at riding horses, and they are used to fighting on land. However, Silla was located on the sea, so it was inevitable that there would be naval battles, but I was afraid that they would get seasick. If this is the case, the combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened. Li Canghai frowned and said.
When Di Qing heard this, she said suspiciously, "Have you been to Silla?" How do you know that Silla is near the sea? ”
"I haven't been, but I've heard of it." Li Canghai said vaguely.
"That's easy to do, just don't fight them at sea." Di Qing said.
Li Canghai shook his head and said, "Qing'er, what you think is too simple. The combined forces of Dongying and Baekje divided into two routes to attack Silla, one of which was the waterway. Therefore, this naval battle is inevitable. ”
"How's that to be?" Di Qingxiu frowned, and asked worriedly.
Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows, he looked at the dust flying outside, and muttered, "Let's reach Gulang Reef first!" ”
Gulang Reef is located on the southeast coast of Yanzhou, only more than 100 miles away from Benqiu County, and the army is non-stop, but when it arrives at Gulang Reef, it is already nightfall.
After letting the army be stationed on the spot, Li Canghai immediately asked Gao Xianzhi to take him to the camp of the Yakyi army.
China has established naval divisions since the Qin and Han dynasties, and by the time of the Sui dynasty, the navy had formed a scale and began to fight at sea.
When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, he was mainly based on the navy.
After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty renovated and expanded the navy, and after the development of three generations of Gaozu, Taizong and Gaozong, it was extremely perfect in terms of establishment and equipment.
And this Yakuza Army is one of the famous Nine Dragon Armies that followed Emperor Taizong's expedition to Goguryeo in the past.
The Nine Dragons Army was established by Emperor Taizong to protect the safety of the Tang Sea.
Although in recent years, the Tang Dynasty sailors have been useless for a long time, but in the reign of Gaozong, they had a brilliant record of eliminating Goguryeo in one fell swoop.
The camp of the Yakuza army is close to the sea, and hundreds of huge warships are connected on the seashore, which looks very spectacular.
At this time, as night fell, countless bonfires were lit around the camp, and the sailors gathered around the fire, drinking wine and eating meat, singing and laughing, looking very uncomfortable.
Rows of weapons were discarded on the ground at will, the armor of the soldiers was covered with dust, and even the guards were holding the wine jar, drunk to death.
"I didn't expect the famous Fox Army in the past to be so decadent! If a soldier does not become a soldier, he will not become a general, what kind of system! Gao Xianzhi looked at the barracks of the Fox Army and said angrily.
Li Canghai glanced at the soldiers of the Fox Army who were drunk and dreaming of death, and said lightly: "Go directly to the camp tent of the Chinese army, and let the commander of the Fox Army come out to see me." ”
Gao Xianzhi nodded yes, and then went to the Chinese military camp tent.
After a while, Gao Xianzhi walked over with a gloomy face.
"General Gao, what's going on?" Li Canghai saw that his face was different, and frowned and asked.
"Back to the general, the commander of the Fox Army is drunk in the camp tent of the Chinese army." Gao Xianzhi's face was full of anger, and he said: "He still said something disrespectful, and asked the general to go to the Chinese military camp to see him." ”
Li Canghai's face was indifferent, and he said lightly: "What a big official, since this is the case, then I will go to see him." ”
In front of the Chinese army's camp, several guards were lazily guarding outside the camp, holding the wine jar in their arms, and were sleeping.
In the tent, several generals in armor could be seen lying on the table, holding wine bowls and drinking drunkenly.
Li Canghai made a look, Lu Jitong nodded, and immediately walked over to lift the curtain of the tent.
"Who is the commander of the Vicious Army? Why don't you hurry up and see the general of the Eastern Crusade? Lu Jitong shouted loudly.
However, the generals didn't bother to look at him, but held the wine bowl and hiccuped drunkenly: "Come, come...... After doing this bowl of ......, it doesn't matter what kind of general he is in the East and the West...... Belch! ”
"Crusade, who is crusade? …… Now that the world is peaceful, the Fox Army is useless, and the East ...... What a fart for the Crusade! …… Ha ha! "The first man on the tent of the Chinese military camp was a man with a beard and a rough face, drunk and authentic.
The rest of the crowd burst into laughter at the same time.
Lu Jitong and Gao Xianzhi's faces darkened at the same time, and the two of them walked up to the man and tied him up directly.
Looking at the few people who looked like dead pigs, Li Canghai's face was a little ugly, he said a few words to the guard next to him, and after the guard nodded, he immediately led people to walk away.
After a few moments, the guards walked in with buckets of water drawn from the deep well.
With a wave of Li Canghai's hand, those guards immediately poured the well water in the bucket on several generals.
It was late autumn and the temperature was low, and the well water soon formed a thin layer of ice.
This bucket of ice water was poured down, and the generals suddenly sobered up, and they jumped and screamed one after another.
"Who? Who is so bold? Is this a rebellion? Come! Come on! The stubble-faced man roared as he wiped the ice water from his face.
After hearing the shouts, the guards who were drinking and playing meat outside the camp surrounded the Chinese military camp.
The Jianning Iron Guards who were guarding Li Canghai drew their weapons one after another and immediately greeted them.
Those soldiers saw that Jianning Tiewei's eyes were cold, and their bodies exuded palpitating killing intent, who 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 see who is in front of you? Lu Ji gathered in the dantian with the same qi and let out a loud shout. (To be continued.) )
