Chapter 497
However, on the way back, the Baekje fleet had just sailed for an hour, and the coastline of Baekje could already be seen, but it was besieged by a large fleet ahead.

This fleet did not fly any flags, but the entire fleet had more than 50 large ships, which directly surrounded the Baekje fleet. As soon as they came up, there was a rain of arrows, including flaming rockets.

Seeing that something was going wrong after a great battle, the Baekje general quickly ordered his lieutenant to take several large ships and the three captured ships to stand out from the fleet and run to a distance.

The rest of the Baekje fleet was entangled with this fleet that appeared suddenly, even though they were fighting to sink the ship, they did not let any of the ships of this fleet leave the fleet.

Seeing that the duck in hand flew away like this, the fleet without any markings was obviously very annoyed, and they caught Baekje's fleet and fought chaotically.

It is a pity that it is very close to Baekje.

Therefore, after more than an hour of chaotic fighting, more than 20 large ships came to support from Baekje Harbor.

Seeing this, the fleet without any markings quickly left the battle and fled to the other side of the sea.

"General Sha, is this fleet the Datang Navy?"

The general of the Baekje fleet who came to support looked gloomy at the more than 50 large ships slowly leaving the warship.

"It's not the Navy of the Tang Dynasty, but the Navy of Goguryeo!"

The General Sha said with hatred on his face, "Although those Goguryeo thieves have been covering up, the words of the Tang people and the Goguryeo people can still be heard!"

"Goguryeo's navy?"

Hearing this, the general of the fleet who came to support couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth with hatred on his face!

"It's these thieves again. If I knew this was the case, I should have chased them down and left all these thieves in the sea to feed the fish!"

"Ugh!"

General Sha glanced at the fleet full of scars around him, and sighed helplessly, "General Xie needn't be so upset, the fleet of Goguryeo thieves is as many as our fleet, even if we try our best, we can't take them out." Leave them all!"

Hearing this, General Xie who came to support him sighed softly, and ignored the Goguryeo fleet, but turned his head and asked, "General Sha, I don't know if it was the ship that robbed the Japanese country?"

"Don't worry, General Xie, I will personally lead the troops, and the mere Japanese ships will not be able to escape!"

"Where are the Japanese ships?"

"Don't worry, General Xie. Seeing that the battle was not going well just now, he asked his lieutenant general to take a few ships to protect the three Japanese ships and break out! Presumably, after a while, the lieutenant general took the three ships and returned. came back!"

"That's good!"

After roughly bandaging the wounded soldiers, several large ships were sent to bring them back.The rest of the ships continued to float in the middle of the sea, and sent several large ships to chase after the previous ships in the direction they left.

However, after two hours, the sky had begun to gradually darken, and all the dispatched ships had returned, but the sea in the distance was still empty, without any shadows of ships.

"Perhaps, those ships have already returned to the harbor!"

General Sha smiled awkwardly, with a hint of luck in his tone.

After waiting for another half an hour, all the fleet returned to the harbor in mighty force.

Unfortunately, those big ships did not go back.

General Sha and General Xie were full of anxiety.

However, the sea is not only vast, but also easy to get lost.

The two of them still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, maybe those big ships got lost and they would come back in a day or two.

However, five days later, more than a dozen large ships were sent out to investigate, but those large ships were never found.

In this way, the two people were full of despair, and something really happened.

As for whether the vice-general escaped with the three big ships, they never thought that all the generals on board were cronies of their own family, and besides Wa and Tang, there was no country where they could go.

Similarly, Goguryeo and Silla, who have been paying attention to Baekje, were full of rejoicing when they saw that the big ship of Baekje had not returned, but they began to suspect again.

Because only the three of them can wipe out those big ships silently.

And the country of Wa...

As a result, a sense of tension began to permeate among the four countries.

But I don't know.

Those big ships from Baekje and the three Japanese cargo ships were pulled back to a secret seaport in Qingzhou by several huge ships a few days ago.

The ten bottles of baijiu on the Japanese ship, as well as [-] guan of goods, and [-] guan of copper coins were neatly placed in a large warehouse.

The blood drops on the armors on his body hadn't solidified yet, and he was staring at the tightly wrapped small box with joy on his face. When he opened it, it turned out to be bottles of white wine.

Soon, everyone was holding two bottles of liquor in their hands, and their mouths almost reached their earlobes.

"Sure enough, His Royal Highness King Jin can mobilize hundreds of large ships from the navy of the Three Kingdoms with just one hundred thousand guan!"

"This time, Waguo and Baekje children are at a loss!"

"Hey, don't care what those are doing. Anyway, I, Tang, don't participate. It's just that I don't like evil things and send troops to quell the chaos!"

"I didn't expect that I could get ten bottles of liquor after going to sea. What a great joy!"

"I've been staying in Cave City and Stone City for the past few months, and I'm almost getting a bird in my mouth. Let's try it first!"

"Oh, you bastard..."

In an instant, the whole warehouse was filled with the aroma of wine.

Afterwards, more than 40 wooden boxes were opened, all of which were Kaiyuan Tongbao.

"His Royal Highness King Jin really is willing to spend the capital!"

"Whoever sees it has a share. Every soldier who goes to sea will get a share of money!"

"And these silks, beef jerky, tea leaves, refined salt..."

"Give some of the refined salt, beef jerky, and dried pickles to the soldiers, and send the rest to shops in Qingzhou and Dengzhou for sale!"

"good!"

In this way, the three big ships of the Wa Kingdom and the few big ships of Baekje really disappeared in the sea, and no one knew their whereabouts.

Only in Lijiazhuang, far away in Chang'an City, there are hundreds of boxes of Kaiyuan Tongbao in the warehouse!

And because of the disappearance of these large ships, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Wa, among the four countries, also began to stare at each other, and even fought hard.

Half a month later, Wa sent hundreds of ships and [-] soldiers to suddenly attack Shouwon City, the southernmost part of Baekje.

In less than a day, Shouyuan City was destroyed, and all the people in the city were slaughtered.

And just two days after the Japanese attack, Silla sent [-] troops to attack the cities of Longhua and Gulu in Baekje!

For a while, Baekje was attacked on both sides.

At the same time, Goguryeo also dispatched troops with a tacit understanding to attack Yulai, Shanhu and other cities in Baekje.

A few days later, after Silla captured several cities such as Baekje Longhua and Gulu, it stopped attacking Baekje and sent troops to the north to attack Goguryeo.

Baekje, which lost its soldiers and lost several large ships, was also full of anger. Facing the attack of Goguryeo and Wa, it directly mobilized the power of the whole country to resist.

Even, under the full of anger, the Baekje soldiers directly repelled the soldiers of the Japanese country, and even chased them all the way to the mainland of the Japanese country.

Between Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla and Wa, a chaotic war began!
However, as the chief culprit of these wars, Li Xuan still didn't pay much attention to these matters.
