Chapter 824 The Battle of Baijiangkou

The Xiongjin River, also known as the Baijiang River, and the mouth of the Baijiang River were also the location of the naval division of the Tang Army, and it was also the target of the Japanese navy's attack.

Prior to this, Datang had never truly waged war with Wa in the name of the country. The naval battle at Baijiangkou was the first time the two countries had fought. And even the fate of the entire Korean peninsula.

Facing the Japanese Navy with twice as many people as himself, although Liu Rengui was confident of winning, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest. After receiving the order, he did not stop for a moment, ordered his men and horses to go to the East China Sea to prepare for the battle.

In the second year of Longshuo, it is the end of April and the beginning of summer.

Outside the Hongcheng Ferry, the sea area [-] miles southwest of Baijiang Estuary is quite a distance from the ferry. Normally, Baekje fishermen's fishing boats rarely come here, but today, this place is very lively.

The Japanese navy was approaching, and Liu Rengui didn't want to fall behind, so before the Japanese navy approached the naval camp, he personally led the army to stop the Japanese navy. The Tang army's naval base, except for the thousands of soldiers who stayed behind, the rest All of them came out in full force, led by [-] ships, and more than [-] troops came out of the camp, intending to fight the Japanese army here.

Liu Rengui still attaches great importance to the Japanese army. Although he doesn't know much about the Japanese country, but in such a short period of time, it will not be a weak country that pulls out [-] sailors, so he thinks a lot about this battle The thoughtful Liu Rengui even thought of the worst-case scenario, how Tang Jun would deal with it if he was defeated in this battle.

But when Liu Rengui really saw the warships of the Japanese navy at sea, Liu Rengui knew that he might be a little overwhelmed. The Japanese navy is different from the navy in Liu Rengui's understanding.

The Tang army ships are about six feet high and nearly twenty feet long. Each warship can carry more than three hundred people. .

The Tang army is not good at sailors, but it is also quite impressive. Compared with the Tang army navy, the warships of the Japanese navy look much shabby, and even a bit of a joke.

The number of naval divisions in the Japanese country is quite large, twice that of the Tang army, and they have more warships, with more than [-] ships, which is almost eight times that of the Tang army. Big, but a bigger boat.

The Japanese army's boat stopped in front of Tang Junlou's boat, just like a baby standing in front of an adult, not of the same size at all. Liu Rengui wondered how they managed to cross the sea to come here.

The Japanese army's warships were far inferior to the Tang army's tall and sturdy warships, and the Tang army had another advantage, that is, the Japanese army had traveled thousands of miles and was very tired after traveling for many days, while the Tang army was waiting for work with leisure, and their morale was high. In this battle, the Tang army can wait, but in terms of the situation of the Japanese army, it cannot afford to wait.

The longer this battle drags on, the lower the morale of the Japanese army, the lower the chance of winning. Therefore, the Japanese army cannot be delayed. The Tang army is moored at sea, motionless like a mountain, and has no intention of attacking first. The Japanese army fell into a passive state and became the anxious party.

The commander of the Japanese army, named Abebirov, is the confidant and beloved general of Prince Zhongda who is in power in the country of Japan. In the battle, he made countless achievements and contributed a lot.Abebirov is to the eldest brother, the prince, what Su Dingfang was to Li Ke when he was the king of Chu, even more so.

Although the eldest brother, the prince, did not know much about the combat power of the Tang army, he attached great importance to this battle to restore the prestige of the Japanese kingdom in the Three Koreas, so he sent his first generals here, in order to make a decisive contribution in one fell swoop. , but now the general who was placed high hopes by the eldest brother and prince fell into a difficult situation.

"Rear General, the military appearance of the Tang army is completely different from what the Baekje envoy said. I am afraid this battle will not be easy." Abebirov's lieutenant, Kamino Chiko, stood behind Abebirov, looking at the mountains in the distance The Tang Junlou boat said to Abebirov in surprise.

Abebirov, who has experienced hundreds of battles, naturally saw something wrong in front of him. Abebirov slapped the railing of the boat angrily, and said, "The Baekje people probably didn't tell the truth about the situation of the Tang army in order to get us to send troops to help. .”

Obviously, the Japanese army seriously underestimated the combat power of the Tang army. Just as the Baekje envoy who asked for help said, the Tang army did have only [-] sailors, and the number of the Japanese army was indeed twice that of the Tang army. It is simply determined by the number of people.

In order to lure the Japanese army to send troops to help as soon as possible, the Baekje people only exaggerated the weakness of the Tang army's insufficient number of sailors, as if they could win as long as the Japanese army arrived, but they didn't mention the tall and strong warships of the Tang army, so that the Japanese army Not sure about that either.

When they really saw the big Tang Jun ship that looked like a tall building in front of them, they realized the seriousness of the problem, but it was too late.

Looking at the battleship he had never seen before, Kamimono Chiko asked, "What should we do now?"

The Japanese army originally thought that the Tang army was outnumbered, so they must only dare to stick to Dazhai and dare not go out without authorization, but what the Tang army did was beyond their expectations. The Tang army came out in full force to stop the Japanese navy here. It was something Kami Maono hadn't thought about before.

No matter how arrogant the Japanese army is, and being deceived by the Baekje envoys, they will not fail to see the gap between the warships in front of them. It is hard to say that the Japanese army will win this battle, and even if they can win, I am afraid it will be a disaster. win.

Abebirov gritted his teeth and said: "The matter has come to this point, there is no way to retreat, and we can only fight the Tang army."

When the two armies met at sea, the Japanese army naturally couldn't retreat. Once they retreated, they would be chased and killed by the Tang army infinitely, and there was no room for fighting back. The best way was to fight head-on.

Looking at Abebirov's appearance, Kamimono Chiko obviously had a solution.

Over the years, under the leadership of Abebirov, the navy of Japan has won consecutive battles. Abebirov has a high prestige in the army. Kamimono Zhizi said: "The order of the later general is that, and we will break the battle for the later general." enemy."

Abebirov looked at the Tang army's warship and said: "The Tang army's ship is tall. If we attack from a distance, we will definitely be defeated. The best way is to use our boats to get close to the Tang army's warship and catch the Tang army. The formation of the warships broke up so that we could divide and attack them."

What Abebirov said is true. Although the ships of the Tang army are tall, they are also inflexible and inconvenient to turn around. They are not as maneuverable as the small boats of the Japanese army. If the small ships of the Japanese army can approach the Tang army, they will also break up the formation , Tang Jun's advantage no longer exists.

As Abebirov said, he said to Kamimoye Zhizi: "Immediately, you order the front troops to lead four hundred boats and ten thousand soldiers to go directly to the building where the Tang army's middle army is located. As long as the ten thousand front troops can enter Tang Jun Zhongjun, this battle will be victorious."
