Chapter 333 The Hole
Golden Dragon Beach.

Under the blue sky is a blood-red ocean, which is the color of blood.

The Japanese pirates once again launched a large-scale attack.

The warlord-level battle battalion-level ship was moored beyond the range of Yun Chui's heavy crossbow, and put down densely packed small rafts. The Japanese pirates on board shouted and rowed to the shore one after another.

"The first batch of trebuchets, adjust the landing point, one foot south. The second batch is ready!"

"put!"

Huhu.

In the first round, more than 150 huge trebuchets were raised one after another, and stones as big as grinding discs and as small as human heads roared and flew towards the sea.

Boom boom boom!
A small part of the stones hit the Japanese pirates' raft directly, causing blood and flesh to fly all over the place.

Most of the stones fell into the sea, but the waves were enough to overturn the nearby boats, and the Japanese pirates on the boat fell into the water like dumplings...

However, many rafts escaped the attack and rowed desperately to the shore.

"The second batch..."

Xiao Zheng put down the binoculars, "The enemy will land immediately, let the brothers in front prepare for the battle."

"Yes!" The messengers left one after another.

In fact, he didn't need to order, the soldiers closest to the sea had already picked up their bows and arrows, and quietly aimed at the enemies who were getting closer.

Looking around, Xiao Zheng frowned: "Where is His Royal Highness King Qi now?"

In the past, this Highness liked to rush to the front line to kill the enemy from time to time.

He had to ask a few more questions, lest there were not enough guards around Chen Xiuzhu.

"Back to the general, His Highness and his staff have not come out of the camp today."

Xiao Zheng nodded, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Since his son Xiao Gang came to Golden Dragon Beach with the fifth battalion of Xingluo forwards a while ago, Chen Xiuzhu has been much more secure.

He no longer rushed to the front line and killed the Japanese pirates who landed at every turn, but stayed in his tent with his staff all day long, planning something.

"General," suddenly a subordinate general stammered, "have we been guarding this Golden Dragon Beach all this time?"

Xiao Zheng glanced at Wang Lezhang who was speaking, his face was slightly gray.

Most of the eastern part of Yunchui is a fertile land, the so-called food and clothing and desire for money, so all counties, whether they are high-ranking officials or ordinary people, are popular in listening to music and watching dances.

Those who are good at dancing are very popular among the people.

This Wang Lezhang has been very talented in making music since he was a child.It can be said that the future of money is bright.

It's just that Le Ren can only eat and clothe after all, and in the long run there is no future.

So when he became an adult, he entered the East China Sea Barrier, and after more than [-] years, he became a general who led the army.

"What does General Wang want to say?" Xiao Zheng asked in a deep voice.

In fact, his Zhongyongbo Mansion has a very profound relationship with the East China Sea Barrier.

In other words, Yun Chui's navy was originally founded by the Xiao family.And the first commander of the East China Sea Barrier was the Xiao family.

It's just that the descendants of the Xiao family became more and more useless later on, and the title was dropped from the Duke's Mansion to the current uncle's mansion.

With the lowering of the title, the farms, shops and businesses under the Xiao family's name will naturally be reduced accordingly.

This is the so-called tree falling and hozen scatter.

It can be said that the Xiao family is now in Pinghai County, where the navy is stationed, and the only force left is the Gu family caravan, and everything else is gone.

This also includes the loss of the leadership and command of the East China Sea barrier.

Three years ago, when an emergency occurred in northern Xinjiang, Emperor Changxing thought about it and asked Xiao Zheng to lead his troops to the north.

At that time, for the sake of the old Duke, the [-] sailors he brought out didn't say anything.

And now the main general of the East Sea Barrier has also arrived in Baekje, and even crossed the Golden Dragon Beach with his warship, and launched an attack on the eastern part of Baekje.

The soldiers brought by Xiao Zheng had other thoughts.

"General," Wang Lezhang stammered, "Although our East Sea barrier can also defend the land, our real strength lies in the sea."

"Instead of letting the brothers passively wait for the Japanese pirates to come to Jinlongtan, it is better to take the initiative to go out to sea by boat and kill them at sea."

Xiao Zheng took another deep look at him, "Is this General Wang's meaning or someone else's meaning?"

Wang Lezhang chuckled, "This is what everyone means."

"Didn't the Starfall Legion enter Baekje? They are invincible in land battles. In this case, we should give full play to the strengths of the Starfall people and let them guard Jinlongtan and the capital of Baekje."

Xiao Zheng was noncommittal.

He finally heard the reason: Starfall Legion.

Thirty miles north of Jinlongtan, the camp of the Japanese army was leveled.

King Qi camp.

Chen Xiuzhu paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.

The weather in Baekje in June is dull, and the tent is even more breathless.

"The Japanese pirates launched an attack again?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the Japanese pirates once again dispatched [-] warlords and battalion-class ships to attack Jinlongtan an hour ago."

Chen Xiuzhu nodded, but his mind did not fall on the sea to the south.

"Where is Wei Junqian now?"

Several staff members looked at each other, and it took a long time before they made a sound.

"Your Highness, it is said that General Wei is still in Beihaiguan. Most of the Starfall Legion is shutting down large-scale shipbuilding. So far, only the Vanguard Battalion is active in the Baekje Peninsula."

Humph.

Chen Xiuzhu snorted dissatisfiedly, "I'm afraid you have talked too much. It is clear that the first five battalions of the Qianfeng Battalion entered Baekje."

The staff were speechless.

"Didn't the father order them to help Baekje with all their strength? Why did Wei Junqian stay in Beihaiguan all the time, and only sent a hairless forward and deputy general in?"

This is clearly Chi Guoguo's bully.

The more Chen Xiuzhu thought about it, the more angry he became, "It's unreasonable."

It can be said that the Starfall Legion has entered Baekje now, but it can also be said that it has not entered.

Because Wei Junqian is still in Beihaiguan.And Jinlongtan has only appeared in the fifth striker battalion led by Xiao Gang.

But rather than saying that Xiao Gang brought troops over to help out, it would be better to say that he was just passing by.

After leaving some supplies for his father and announcing that he had a child, he hurried away with the team.

Especially Ren Ning, the forward lieutenant general, one of the eight leading generals of the Starfall Legion, clearly passed by the capital of Baekje not far away, but hurried to the east, and had no intention of turning south at all.

This made Chen Xiuzhu, who was eagerly waiting to "fight side by side" with Xingluo, furious.

"Your Highness, would you like to tell your ancestor Luo Shangshu about the situation of Xingluo?"

Then let Luo Ken enter the palace and tell Emperor Changxing.

"No," another staff member hurriedly stood up.

"Your Highness, the Starfall Legion is a banner in the army, and no one can match it. Even if His Highness gets angry again, he can't tear himself apart with Wei Junqian. Otherwise..."

Otherwise, it will be difficult to win their support when something happens in the future.

This is a huge loss.

"Besides, General Wei also sent a message. He said that the post road in Baekje is too bad, and the Qianfeng Battalion is repairing it. Maybe they will come in large numbers after the post road is repaired."

Humph.

The former staff member snorted coldly.

"What kind of road to build? From my point of view, Wei Junqian is clearly just looking for a reason to perfuse Xingji City. They don't want to rescue Baekje at all."

"You can't say that. As the saying goes, the army goes first before moving food and grass."

"We all see the post roads in Baekje, and they are really bad."

"It's already June, and in another four or five months, the peninsula will be covered with heavy snow again. If the road is not repaired, the logistics may not be guaranteed. Therefore, General Wei's worries are very reasonable..."

Boom!

Chen Xiuzhu knocked on the table, "Okay, stop arguing."

He rubbed his swollen forehead, "What's going on with Xiao Zheng, did Wang Lezhang tell him?"

As long as Xiao Zheng left Jinlong Beach with the navy, Wei Junqian had no choice but to come over to fill the hole no matter what his thoughts were.
