Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 623
The coast of Tamna, Jeju Island.

"idiot!"

Ju Yuanbao yelled and cursed, he thought it was a good job, a beautiful job, a fat job.

Tamna is a subsidiary state of Goryeo, and it does not have its own army, only the Bailai King's Guard and hundreds of security forces.

His three thousand soldiers and horses lined up on the coast to keep the opposing king kneeling and begging for surrender.

Unexpectedly, when his army came to the vicinity of Tamra Kingdom, he encountered resistance.

The fishermen of Tamna sank their boats and blocked them near the coastline to prevent their ships from entering. They also used bows and arrows and simple catapults to bombard and shoot the peasants and soldiers cleaning up the sunken boats, which greatly delayed the attack. rhythm of time.

Tachibana Yuanbao raised his arms and shouted: "After taking Tamra Kingdom, everyone will plunder for ten days. I want this group of trash to know what will happen if I resist our Yamato Heavenly Soldiers..."

The country of Wa was poor and poor, and its material economy was backward. It was impossible to support a large number of troops. Their soldiers were mainly peasants and soldiers, and they did not get much rewards even for wars.

Looting and humiliation is a common method for them to boost morale, and it is also a tried and tested method.

Sure enough, with his order, the peasants and soldiers who were cleaning up the sunken ship on the front line were much more agile.

On the bank of the river, Fu Kun, the king of Tamra Kingdom, looked at the three thousand soldiers, his hands and feet were cold.

Tamna Kingdom lived in Jeju Island for many years. It was ruled by Gao Yi Na for many years. Because of its weak national power, it surrendered to Silla and Baekje in the Three Kingdoms period. Maintained diplomatic relations.

However, because they are isolated overseas and have no value, most of them are free, and they have always been independent small countries.

The past lords of Tamna Kingdom were also very knowledgeable. Whoever became powerful would kowtow and surrender, and did not develop military affairs. He was very popular with the surrounding face-saving countries.

After all, they are no better than Zhongyuan, and they are used to being the boss.

To them, being recognized by a small country is an extremely honorable thing for a country that loves to dream of being a suzerain.

It wasn't until today that Fu Kun realized that the Tamluo country can be peaceful, but the other party doesn't want to beat you.

Fu Kun drew out the Tang Hengdao that was passed down from generation to generation by King Tamra at his waist, and said loudly: "The animals of the Japanese kingdom are like beasts. If they are allowed to go to the island today, the tragic situation in Kaesong will be a lesson for Tamra. For our homeland, for our homeland, for our family Wives, children, and parents are not harmed by animals, and they must not be allowed to go to the island."

What Wa State did in Kaesong has already spread to Jeju Island, and Luo Youdu's "Writing for Thieves" is also widely spread on the island.

Facing the beasts of the Wa Kingdom, the Tamna Kingdom, which has never set up an army, is united as one.

Without armor, they put on more clothes and wrapped themselves like rice dumplings. Without weapons, they used sharpened bamboos, sickles and hoes to guard the coast.

A simple catapult, a hunting bow that is not powerful enough to break armor...

The people of Tamna guard their homeland in their own way.

At the same time, ten miles away from the Ju Yuanbao Department, Lu Jiang was looking at the situation in the distance with a binoculars.

The sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are few places to hide.

Whoever sees far is naturally the one who takes advantage.

Glass production technology has matured in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and reached a certain level. Glass bowls, glass teacups, and glass bottles have long become luxury goods in the upper class.

Luo Youdu put forward the hypothesis of the telescope and asked the following people to study it.It didn't take much time, and the simplest monocular telescope was made.

From the first few hundred steps, a little bit of diligence, until now I can see the scenery several miles away.

"The fighting power of this Japanese country is really bad enough, why hasn't it captured Jeju Island yet?"

Lu Jiang couldn't help but complain.

Jeju Island is the name of the future, but it is convenient for Luo Youdutu to mark this place as Jeju Island on the map.

Lu Jiang is naturally based on the method marked by Luo Youdu.

While watching with binoculars, Lu Jiang kept complaining and commenting, but Nong Hao, who was beside him, scratched his ears and scratched his cheek anxiously.

"Doutou, give me a look? I heard that this thing is very magical. It can extend its eyes thousands of miles away. I heard from my brother that the cattle in the Wa country want to approach Tsushima Island by various methods, or bypass Tsushima. Island, all were caught by the telescope. It’s so powerful, let my nephew also open his eyes?”

Nong Hao's status is also Dutou, and the two are on the same level, but Lu Jiang is too old, even Grandpa Nong Hao can't compare, and he is unconsciously a generation shorter.

Lu Jiang said: "Call me brother, just show it to you? You and I are on the same level, so you call me old."

Nong Hao looked at Lu Jiang, who had white beard and hair, bit his head, and called out, "Brother."

Satisfied, Lu Jiang handed the binoculars to Nong Hao, and said, "Be careful, this thing is expensive, and the governor lent it to me."

Nong Hao took the binoculars carefully, looked at them from side to side, and exclaimed happily: "Hey, it's really fun!"

After playing with it for a while, he finally remembered the business, looked at the battlefield from a distance, watched the Japanese army in the distance gradually approaching the coast, and said: "Dutou, their minds are all on the coast, why don't we just rush over there , cooperate with the Tamra soldiers on the shore, and keep them easily defeated."

Lu Jiang took the binoculars from Nong Hao's hand, shook her head and said, "That's not right, the attack can win at this moment, but it can't win a big victory, and there is no guarantee that they will all be left behind. Tamra Kingdom will not cooperate with our front and back attacks. , they will only watch us confront the Wa Kingdom."

Nong Hao said in surprise: "No way, we saved them. What kind of virtue does the Wa Kingdom have? Let them kill them on the shore, and the Tamra Kingdom will be the second Kaicheng."

Lu Jiang continued to look at the battlefield with a binoculars, and said: "Tamra has no soldiers, and it can resist the Wa Kingdom, which depends on the courage to defend their homeland. They dare to go ashore with the Wa Kingdom, but they dare not attack the Wa Kingdom. Wait for the Wa Kingdom All ashore, we are taking their back and capturing their boats. This wave of enemies can be trapped on Jeju Island."

Nong Hao said: "In this way, we may become the attacking party. If I were a thief, I would find an enemy in the back. I would immediately switch from attack to defense, laying down a line of defense to resist our army. Our army is still smaller than the thief, and they are far away from the coast. Shou, what should I do?"

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, soldiers, generals and officials fought without a month.

The abilities of most generals are honed through battles.

With the peace of the world, there will be fewer and fewer battles, and fewer and fewer opportunities for people to temper themselves.

Faced with this situation, on the one hand, Luo Youdu prepared for the military academy, and on the other hand, he encouraged learning in the army and studied the art of war and tactics, so as to improve the military quality of generals to maintain combat effectiveness.

Nong Hao has received a lot of influence and began to think about tactics.

Lu Jiang said with a smile: "If the opponent is a virtuous brother, of course you can't fight like this. This is a war with soldiers. You have to understand the situation of both the enemy and us. It should be a strategy."

Nong Hao hurriedly bowed and said, "I also ask the governor for advice!"

Nong Hao has been in the army for five years, while Lu Jiang has been in the army for less than a year. However, Lu Jiang refuses to accept his old age and regards himself as a young man with an open-minded attitude and the ability to express himself in words, which has already convinced Nong Hao, a veteran.

Lu Jiang said indifferently: "There are two types of soldiers in the Japanese kingdom. One is peasant soldiers, which have low combat effectiveness. Second, the private soldiers of the samurai family are well-equipped and have strong combat effectiveness. Tamra Kingdom does not have an army. Their soldiers are a few guards. According to As far as I know, there has been no war in this country for two or three hundred years, so how can they fight? What they have is courage. This kind of courage can scare the peasants and soldiers of the Japanese country, but it has no chance of winning against the private soldiers of the Japanese country."

"The trend of the battle must be that the peasants and soldiers cleared the way, while the private soldiers broke the situation and gained an advantage."

"There is a custom of plundering in the Wa country. Brother, do you think the private soldiers charging ahead will stop to defend, or the peasants and soldiers behind will stay on the ship obediently?"

Nong Hao got enlightened, bowed and said: "Understood, before Dutou talked with Xun Langzhong and the general of the Japanese country, is it to understand their situation?"

"Of course!"

Lu Jiang smiled calmly: "Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. These words will never be outdated at any time. By the way, when you rush to land, don't wear armor and go ashore directly with civilian clothes. A certain elite hides behind. If there is an accident, we can support you at any time."

The overall development of the battle situation is exactly the same as Lu Jiang's analysis.

None of the guards in the Tamra Kingdom has combat experience, but facing the bandits who invaded their homeland, even if they don't know how to fight anymore, they can still fight the bandits with blood.

The peasants and soldiers of the Wa Kingdom may have certain combat experience, but they are far inferior to the people of Tamra Kingdom in terms of fighting will and courage.

Two consecutive waves were repelled by Tamra...

Tachibana Yuanbao looked at the people of Tamna who were shouting on the coast, his eyes were full of anger.

He had snatched this attack from Kono Koko, if he didn't have a hearty victory, he would have ridiculed him in the end.

Tachibana Yuanbao shouted: "Nomura, you take 300 people up, if you fail to land, don't come back."

Nomura Nobuyasu let out a "hey" and led Tachibana's private soldiers to the front line.

As soon as the well-equipped samurai private soldiers joined the battle, the situation immediately changed dramatically.

This full of blood is useful, but the real gap in strength cannot be made up by courage.

Especially the people of Tamra Kingdom have never really seen the cruelty of the battlefield.

When they saw with their own eyes that their relatives and friends fell to the ground one by one in the face of Japanese soldiers rushing left and right, their courage was gradually dominated by fear.

The loss rate is less than [-]%, and the defense line on the shore of Tamna Kingdom can no longer support it.

Seeing that he was sure of winning, Ju Yuanbao ordered people to send him and his horses to the coast in a small boat, and personally led the charge.

Tachibana Yuanbao rushed into the crowd riding a horse, wearing iron armor, and holding a Japanese sword made by a famous Japanese craftsman.

Tachibana Yuanbao's Japanese swords were the most effective at cutting unarmored people, with stumps, limbs, and heads flying around.

Seeing this scene, Fu Kun, the king of Tamra Kingdom who originally wanted to charge, vomited on the spot. He didn't have the courage to charge, and fled while vomiting.

Ju Yuanbao shouted majestically, and led a group of private soldiers of the Wu family to rush towards Fu Kun.

The peasants and soldiers in the rear seemed to have been slapped with chicken blood at this moment. At this moment, they were full of blood and revived. They timidly touched the corpses and boldly chased the fleeing Tamra people. Those who are more courageous, follow directly behind the private soldiers of the Wu family, and have the intention of following them into the city.

Just when they were seeking money, 2000 people led by Lu Jiang and Nong Hao approached quietly.

They easily seized the ships of Wa, and landed on Jeju Island.

It's not that the peasants and soldiers picking up corpses on the coast didn't find the Donghai Navy who landed, but that generals of a certain level followed Tachibana Yuanbao to make a fortune.

Those who stayed on the shore were all the lowest-level existences. When they saw an army coming out of nowhere and killing them from behind, they were so frightened that they ran away. How could they have the courage to resist?

Lu Jiang approached the coast in a small boat, and before the boat stopped, he jumped onto the beach with one stride.

Nong Hao thought that Lu Jiang was going to fight him, so he hurriedly said, "Dutou, give me the credit for killing the enemy!"

Lu Jiang smiled and said, "What's the rush? We'll just line up here and wait for the opponent to attack. The Tamluo Kingdom won't be destroyed by this battle, and the bandits won't be able to let their backs be cut off."

He thought for a while, and then gave an order for people to pick up some dry and wet firewood to set off the smoke.

At this moment, Nong Hao has been convinced of Lu Jiang's judgment.

Immediately, the two of them were not in a hurry to enter the army, but cleaned the battlefield, took local materials leisurely and contentedly, and made simple fortifications.

The battle situation was once again as Lu Jiang thought.

Ju Yuanbao didn't catch up with Fu Kun, but looked at Fu Kun and his hundreds of guards going away, and cursed: "You rat, you escaped so fast."

Jeju Island is not a big place, but it is rarely rich in supplies. There are several pastures on the island, which are suitable for raising cattle and horses.

Cattle and horses in Jeju Island have always been a rarity in Goryeo.

Fu Kun and his guards all rode horses, Ju Yuanbao was the only one who had a horse, so naturally he didn't dare to chase after him, and could only vent all his anger on the fleeing people of Tamluo Kingdom.

Until he heard that an unknown army seized their ships and cut off their retreat.

Tachibana Yuanbao's expression changed drastically, he looked at the billowing smoke in the direction of the coast and shouted: "Where did the army come from?"

When he set off, the situation of Tsushima Island had not been reported to him, and he did not react for a moment.

Nomura Nobuyasu said: "Could it be a trick?"

Tachibana Yuanbao frowned and said: "Our food is on the boat, no matter what, we have to take back the boat. Otherwise we will all starve to death..."

Tachibana Yuanbao suddenly moved in his heart, and asked the soldier who came forward to report, "How many people are there on the other side, and what kind of armor are they wearing?"

The terrified peasants and soldiers said: "Without armor, I can't see how many people..."

Tachibana Yuanbao felt relieved when he heard the words, raised his head and laughed, looked at the elite soldiers beside him, saw them wearing excellent leather armor, bamboo armor, and some even had armor inlaid with iron pieces, and wiped away the traces on the sword. With blood stains, he said with a smile: "As long as we kill them, everything is still ours. So what if they cheat? In the face of absolute strength, they are all mud tigers."

He pointed his sword towards the coast and said, "Follow me and crush them!"

Tachibana Yuanbao was also a vicious man, when he heard that the other party had no armor, he rushed directly to the coast without taking a rest.

As the sun was setting, Ju Yuanbao returned the same way and headed towards the coast of Jeju Island.

Tachibana Yuanbao rides on a horse and stands high, seeing far away...

In front of him are two thousand elite soldiers ready to fight...

The light reflected on the armor by the setting sun was so dazzling.

　Thank you book friend Zuoyou for the hundred rewards for a smile, thank you for your support!
