Chapter 28: Landing in Xiongjin Bay
In the fifth year of Xianqing (660 AD), the 23rd day of August in the autumn, at four o'clock in the hour of Mao.
The gentle yellow sea, oars hit the waves, thousands of sails competed, hundreds of boats competed for the current. Seagulls soared freely, flags covered the sky and sun, and warships continued. The magnificent tower ships, mighty fighting ships, light boats, flexible boats, and sea falcons carrying troops formed the Tang Dynasty invincible fleet.
The building is built with three layers, with women's walls and battle grids arranged, shaped like a city wall and a fortress, which can accommodate 800 guards. It is equipped with winch crossbows, stone throwing cars and slapped poles. The slapped poles are similar to fly swatters, with huge kinetic energy traction, such as small and medium-sized ships, slapped over the seabed with one slap.
Twenty tower ships advanced side by side, and the largest in the middle was Lao Su's flagship. In Wukang's view, the tower ship was a powerful firepower platform, loaded with the most advanced weapons, similar to later battleships. Thick armor and deadly force laid the position of the main ship.
More than 50 fighting ships, surrounding the battleships, are similar to later cruisers. They adopt a ladder duplex structure to build female walls and battle grids, and the guards are distributed in steps. They give full play to the advantages of the soldiers, provide fire protection for auxiliary battleships, and enhance survivability. They are a supplement to the tower ship, which builds the Great Wall on the sea.
The yacht is an anti-ship speedboat, which is small in size and fast in speed, approaches the enemy's main battleship, and gives a fatal blow. The yacht is an offensive speedboat with good protection, petite and flexible body. It also serves as a reconnaissance work, similar to a destroyer. Our ancestors were once the best shipbuilders on Earth.
In front and behind the Invincible Fleet are sea falcon transport ships carrying land combat troops. Wu Kangjue's funnyness is imitated with the design of sea falcons. The ship has a low head and a high tail, and a wide front and narrow back. Eight floating plates are placed on both sides of the ship, shaped like sea falcons’ wings.
The main function of the floating board is to keep the ship sailing smoothly in the stormy waves and increase the speed of drainage. The left and right sides of the cabin are covered with cowhide, shaped like a city wall to prevent huge waves from breaking the ship, and at the same time to fight against fire attacks. A female wall half a man-high woman has a crossbow window and arrow hole, a dental flag is inserted all over the deck, and a war drum is placed at the stern of the ship.
A large sea falcon in the rear carries 100,000 guards, and is the main force of the Shenqiu soldiers. About ten nautical miles ahead, fifty sea falcons advance in unison, guided by navigation yachts, sailing eastward through the wind and waves. The so-called yachts are similar to liaison ships. They are used to command and dispatch, convey military orders, and coordinate naval operations.
Each sea falcon warship transports up to 100 troops, a total of 5,000 vanguard troops. In about an hour, twenty miles north of Xiongjin River, landed on Xiongyan Mountain. The deputy general of Shenqiu Road marching, Wu Kang, general of Zuo Qianniu Mansion, was the unscrupulous vanguard officer. The sea falcon he was riding on was on the high mast at the stern, and the "Wu" flag fluttered in the wind.
The sailors on both sides were skillful in rhythm, and the sea falcons were like walking on flat ground. The guards sat cross-legged, wearing bright light armor, with strong bows and crossbows on their backs, and with a horizontal knife on their heads. Wu Kang wore golden armor, stretched his legs and sat on the bow of the boat, and his feet were against the Qianniu Knife. He held clay men in both hands, his expression was neither sad nor happy, and listened to the guards chatting.
When a soldier chats, women cannot be separated from women. All kinds of dirty jokes are always driving. Qian Wen, a magistrate of Penglai Prefecture, asked Chu Shenke beside him with a broken voice: "The general said that Baekje women are more well-behaved and more likable than Silla maids. Isn't it true?"
Chu Shenke looked at the boss and patted his chest to promise: "The boss will not lie. The race between Silla and Baekje is the same. Baekje women can read the text and write, and their skin is as white as jade fat. Especially at night, they can meet all kinds of needs and make you want to die of ecstasy."
A lewd laughter broke out, Qian Wen's face turned red, his heart was like a cat scratching him, and he complained with a sad face: "Brother, you don't know, my shrew is like a dead dog on the bed. Before I took off my pants, my spear became soft. When I captured Baekje, I would collect more treasures. Let's go to their teaching house to feel the Baekje women?"
Pinglang sneered, glanced at the boss, and laughed strangely, "What's the cost? After conquering Baekje, let's catch the woman quietly and enjoy the fun. Brothers from Penglai Mansion, don't worry, our general is quite enlightened and will definitely ignore it."
The guards clamored, and the general Liu Renyuan of Zuo Xiaoweilang hummed and scolded, "What are the little bastards thinking? They either rob treasures or catch women. Are you against you? Give up as soon as possible. With General Su's character, he will definitely be prohibited. He dares to try the law with his body and be careful of the head on his neck."
The cabin was soon quiet, Wu Kang turned his head and smiled: "I said to Lao Liu, don't make excuses, brothers are joking. Brothers, wait until Baekje is here, if you have the fate, you will be satisfied. Everyone rewards the prostitution and enjoy it. Don't violate the military law."
There was a moment of joy and thunder, the guards were making noises and their energy was too strong. I don’t know how much this boatman could have left in half an hour and how much could he have left after landing on the beach. Wu Kang laughed and said seriously: “The navy is bored, singing to relieve his fatigue. I sing a sentence, you can learn one, and listen to me.”
He coughed a few times, and opened his voice: "I got up against the gums and fought with the sword, and my two bodies were combined and pushed the grinding secretly. The cauliflower played with butterflies and sucked the marrow of flower marrow, and the honey bee was hidden in the honey nest. The pink sweat was dry and wet in the body, and I still started to work on the pillow of my hair. This is a great deal of joy, and I was the first class of romantic love."
The obscene lyrics and roars were floating, and just led the singing twice, the guards remembered it in their hearts and began to roar. With the flagship as the center, first two ships left and right, and two ships gradually spread. In less than two quarters of an hour, fifty warships and five thousand naval choruses were sang.
The rogue is the most terrifying thing. Wu Kang was content with his complacent and smiled strangely at the clay man. Liu Renyuan rolled his eyes, struggled for a long time, and whispered: "If it is not bad, the clay doll in his left hand is Mrs. Bianzhihe. The clay doll in his right hand, who is the woman? She looks very familiar."
Old Liu was very gossiped, and Wu Kang joked: "You are 60 years old. How good is it to stay in the building boat? You cross your legs and drink two cups of hot tea. What kind of pioneer officer should you be? Can you kill the enemy with such an old bone? Don't pull your back."
Liu Renyuan was anxious and glared at the bull's eyes and scolded: "You should look down on others, and you should be stronger. If you don't believe it, let's fight, let you take the first move at thirty years, and you will scream. Tell me quickly who this woman is, she really looks familiar."
Wu Kang smiled but said nothing, deliberately sucking his appetite. A quarter of an hour passed, and Lao Liu suddenly exclaimed, with an incredible face: "Nai Weng remembered that she was Empress Wu. When the Holy Lord visited Bingzhou, he looked at her from afar. I said it would change, the relationship between you sisters and brothers is really envious."
The old guy has good eyesight. Wu Kang reached out to like it. The childish woman brought the clay man to the door before traveling to Bingzhou. She had to pinch two, one she kept and the other went to fight for it. Xiaoqing was not willing to be outdone, so she troubled the clay man to pinch two family portraits and put them in the bedroom.
He laughed a few times, the clay man put it in his calculating bag, looked up at the sun on the sea, and the time was almost over. He stood up and watched, his vision was very good, less than four miles away from the land line. The dark thing was the defenders of Baekje, and a bloody battle was coming.
The two discussed for a long time and handed over the battle order: the guards of the Pioneer Battalion entered the combat state. The pilot yacht returned to the team, the fleet opened fire and pulled the bow to block the arrow wall. The fleet took action immediately, the guards checked the equipment, Qian Shunpinglang stood up, stirred the bow hemp rope, and slowly raised the arrow wall.
The arrow wall looks like a suspension bridge, tilting into the ship to block the guards of the cabin. The flag bearer climbed up the mast and kept changing the flag words. The fifty sea falcons scattered, all of them pulled up defenses. The guards stood up one after another, hung their swords on their belts, took out the strong bow behind them, and prepared for battle.
The sails were instantly full, and the warship was walking with the wind. Wu Kang opened the calculation bag and took out the crystal treasure mirror. He took over the Qian Shunhee rope, the crystal mirror tied the scabbard, and extended it outside the arrow wall to observe the situation on the other side. Sure enough, the heavy army was guarding the shallow water stalls on the coast, and there were horses everywhere.
The densely packed shelves covered the entire beach, which resembled the scene of "Save Soldier Ryan", the Allied Army landing. Liu Renyuan was dumbfounded and pointed at the mirror and shouted: "What a magical treasure mirror, you can see the other side without looking at it. How did you do it?"
Wu Kang was too lazy to look back and was jokingly joking: "At such an old age, you should be calm in everything and don't be surprised. It's just a periscope, nothing strange. As for the principle, you don't understand it even after you say it. Wipe off your saliva and when you return to the capital, I'll give you one."
Old Liu nodded repeatedly, staring at the mirror outside the ship, his eyes full of envy. Wu Kang sneered at it, and he rarely saw strange country bumpkins. When the troops returned to the court, they bought a few natural crystals and made a telescope. It would definitely be of great benefit to march and fight for many years.
The mirror in front of me was polished with natural crystals and was given to Mei Niang. She treated it as a treasure in the box and did not take it out easily except Li Jiu and Prince. She crossed the sea to fight here, and accidentally thought of the periscope, so she asked for it with shamelessness. Unexpectedly, Mei Niang was not hesitant and sent someone to send it to her that day, a good Chinese sister.
Suddenly, he widened his eyes and saw countless elevated mounts through the mirror reflection. He couldn't help but curse and gritted his teeth and sent an order: "Immediately notify the entire ship that there are catapults on the opposite side, small and medium-sized catapults. Brothers, please pay attention to protection."
Qian Shun immediately spoke the flag and the mast flag bearer reported it. The roar sounded instantly, and the atmosphere was suppressed. As an elite soldier in the palace, the power of the catapult cart made them frightened. The stones of dozens or hundreds of kilograms could not resist the flesh and blood, even the solid wall of arrows could not resist three strokes.
Suddenly, the roar broke through the air, accompanied by a harsh pounce, and the huge rocks smashed into the water. Three meters away from the left side of the ship, two water columns splashing out, splashing countless water splashes. The scene was like a filming film. The hull shook, and the guard stabilized his body and let the sea water wash his body.
I felt helpless, so I could only face the flying stone and rush forward. The captain screamed at the top of his lungs, the sailor rowed wildly, the sails pulled to the fullest, and drove to the maximum speed. The stones of all sizes fell like raindrops, and Wu Kang cursed again. How many catapults were prepared for in Xiongjin Bay?
The loud noise came again, the impact was shocking, and the flagship was shot. The distance between the hull was shaken, the guard was shaking, and soon fell down the blockbuster. Looking up at the arrow wall, the two big cracks were really unlucky. Looking at the situation in front of you, at most, the arrow wall would be broken.
Wu Kang roared loudly, constantly soothing the morale of the army. He kept praying in his heart, omnipotent Buddha, bless my ship. Suddenly, he felt a bad wind on his head, subconsciously shrank his neck, and wailed from behind him. He turned his head and looked over, his eyes were full of tears.
The two guards at the stern of the boat fell, their heads were smashed, and their facial features were unrecognizable. The red ones were plasma, and the white ones were brains, which had a strong visual impact. However, the guards on the boat were all experienced for a long time and had long been used to life and death, so they were not too panic.
The two carried the body and placed it flat on the stern of the boat; the two carried stones and threw it directly into the sea. The hit guard was helped up by his robes and stood still in place, with murderous intent in his eyes. This is the elite. Wu Kang let go and continued to stare at the periscope.
The sea breeze whistled, wailing, stones flying all over the sky, and water splashed on the face. The captain frequently commanded, and the sailor fought for his life, and the speed reached its limit. Wu Kang wiped his face and continued to roar: "Brothers, gritted their teeth and rushed out of range soon. The catapult car is almost useless."
The sea surface was filled with muffled thunder, the warship shook violently, Wu Kang's footsteps staggered, Qian Shun hurriedly hugged his waist. The arrow block at the bow of the boat had a big crack in the middle, and was smashed by a catapult. He cursed and put away his periscope and explored the enemy's situation through the cracks.
The distance quickly narrowed, and the meteor shower gradually became sparse, and more and more stones fell into the sea water of the stern. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the meteor shower ended, and the rain of arrows covered the sky, covering the vanguard fleet. The arrow wall blocked most of the time, and the guards raised their iron shields and put an iron curtain on their heads. The arrow bites the shield, and the sound was extremely harsh.
If you go into the water here, the guards will be wet and their armor will be heavier. You must face the rain of arrows and approach the beach with all your might. Wu Kang's mind will turn, his brain will turn quickly, and based on the known information, calculate the best stopping point: just behind the horse-rejecting horse, a distance of thirty meters.
Wu Kang suddenly turned around, raised his head and called orders, and his roar was stuck in his throat. The mast flag bearer was in an arrow, his body fell freely, and he fell to the Yellow Sea. His eyes were ripped apart, and he screamed strangely: "Prepare the flag bearer, send orders the entire army, and turn the hull."
The two flag bearers at the stern of the boat threw away the shield and ran under the mast. A climbed hard, B waited under the pole, A climbed halfway, B climbed immediately. The slit arrow flew over, and the two ignored him. A fell from the arrow and B continued to climb.
The guard was fearless and could not successfully land, and was ashamed of his dead robe. Wu Kang stared at the flag bearer, muttering something in his mouth, and kept cheering up. Finally he climbed up the mast, waved the red and blue flags, and quickly conveyed the order. The sailor stopped rowing, the captain calmly commanded, and the warship slowly turned around.
Wu Kang drew the Thousand Niu sword, stabbed into the bow deck, and took off two stone strong bows. His face was completely ferocious, and his roar was harsh: "When the charge is time, don't think randomly, and don't look at your feet. Follow the brothers in front and rush forward with gritted teeth. Brothers in the robe, please believe me, victory belongs to us."
The guards roared and turned to promise, squatted in the cabin, hid in the female wall, and then put up an iron curtain above their heads. The warships rotated slowly, and the rain of arrows followed, biting the iron shield like raindrops. The fifty-sea falcon warships were connected to the sea, and the iron chains crossed the river.
Lao Liu took over the command, stood on the side of the ship, and issued a counterattack order. The front guards stood up, the iron shield blocked the head, and set up a simple arrow wall. The back guards threw their shields, the feather arrows posed a strong bow, and looked up at the mast. The flag bearer's blue flag was horizontal, and the red flag was slightly raised to give the shooting angle.
Feather arrows were thrown into the sky, and the rain of arrows passed by, flying towards the enemy's positions. On the vast beach, besides the whistling wind, they were the howling of people. The guards were focused on their minds, ignored the arrow robe, kept throwing their bows, and the arrow sac was consumed quickly.
Lao Liu sent another military order, and the enemy had been suppressed, so he immediately landed. Lao Liu and the ship guards all squatted under the female wall. The iron shield was buckled on his head, his hands were holding the shield back, and his body was placing a staircase. Wu Kang dropped his strong bow and burst out and finally roared: He beat the charge drum, brothers, all of you follow me...
The war drum soared straight into the sky, Wu Kang stepped on the ladder and jumped onto the female wall of the ship. He held the Thousand Niu Knife in his hand, drew a perfect arc, and jumped off the warship. Facing the flowing arrows in the sky, waded through the kneeless sea water, blocked the throat with his left arm, and dragged the Thousand Niu Knife in his right hand. Hawkeye glared at the other side, ran wildly as fast as possible, and rushed towards the enemy formation...
The warships lined up, and the guards were brave and fearless, jumping into the sea to charge. The picture looked like dumplings. The archers on the ship did not aim at all, and threw the feather arrows with all their might. The speed of the hand was as high as the limit, and they knew it. Long-range fire support, and casualties in the chau landing were closely related.
The light-shooting arrow was sharp and sharp arrows, and the strong bow was behind his back, pulling out the ring-headed horizontal knife. Stepping down the human ladder, stepping down the corpse of the robe, and following the footsteps of the robe. The last archer went into the sea, Liu Renyuan pulled out the horizontal knife, drank the ladder guard, and jumped into the sea together.
There were only sailors left on the ship, who turned the bow and returned to join the main fleet. This was Wu Kang's order, and no support was allowed. The Pioneer Camp was fighting against the water. Behind it was the sea, and there was no way out at all, so he could only move forward bravely.
The guards were completely violent, driving the sea and water to the shore, and the two sides fought each other in close combat. The charge continued, the fighting on the beach shook the sky, and the Tang soldiers fought back. The Wukang people were tall and big, but they were still as always, fighting at the forefront.
Holding the handle of the knife with both hands, the moves are very simple, either vertically or horizontally. Every time the blade passes, it will take away life, which is both clean and neat. A thousand-tonne sword of 1.7 meters and a blade of 1.4 meters, will bless all the strength of the body, and will be unstoppable for the moment.
The tough golden armor provides the best defense. It doesn’t have to worry about defense and just chop it. It’s all done. The dead bodies are stepping on the feet, creating dead bodies, and the mechanical killing is repeated. I don’t know how long it has passed, but the Baekje people in front of me are getting weaker and weaker.
This is a good phenomenon, the enemy's formation is about to be defeated. Qian Shun led his personal guards to Wuying, followed the big boss's footsteps, Chu Shenke and Lin Pinglang, guarding the left and right. The personal soldiers who first went to the battlefield had no intention of killing than veterans, and were not ruthless in killing people.
The Pioneer Battalion landed, surrounded and eroded with both wings, and the elite soldiers in battle completely defeated the Baekje people. They finally collapsed and fled to the east, throwing their armor all the way. The Tang army chased Sanli and successfully occupied the landing site. The rear was Mingjin to withdraw their troops.
The dead bodies were everywhere in the mountains and killed at least two thousand, and the results were quite gratifying. Wu Kang looked at the seaside, and dozens of raging fires were Baekje's catapults. It was these things that made the navy lose its temper and finally exhaled its anger.
The landing of the beach was successfully completed, the coastal defense was cleared, and the task was basically completed. Looking at Xiong Yanshan, Northeast China, took out the map of the calculation bag, and calculated the approximate distance. Soon Lao Liu arrived, panting and said, "The guards landed successfully, and Baekje will soon reinforce. We don't have war horses, we can't fight against the cavalry, let's act as planned."
Wu Kang nodded in agreement. Lao Liu issued an order, and the army did not need to gather, so he rushed to Xiongyan Mountain. The Baekje soldiers along the way either collapsed at one touch or fled in the same way. They came to the foot of the mountain, scanned the shape of Xiongyan Mountain, and ordered the formation on the side of the mountain to form a formation.
The guards came to the mountainside, scattered on both sides, surrounding the entire green mountain. The spearmen lined up in front, swords and soldiers followed closely, and the archers stood in the back row. All the feather arrows were still tight, and each archer was only divided into sixty pieces.
The login consumes too much and there is no time to collect it, so it is probably run out soon. Wu Kang didn't care, so he ordered a temporary rest while the Baekje soldiers were not here. The guards were in groups of three or five, each replenishing their physical fitness. After eating and drinking, they lay on the ground and chatted, and the topic was still Baekje women.
Wu Kang laughed silently, ate moldy steamed buns and drank sweet and mellow wine, which made him feel a unique taste. Turning his head around, he saw the view of this mountain. Looking east is the Jinjiang River, to the south is the Jinjiang mouth, to the north is the mountains, and to the west is the Yellow Sea.
The Yellow Sea is undercurrent, the waves move forward slowly, kissing the beach softly. The black dots that undulate with the waves are the corpses of the robe. I am really sorry that I cannot be buried in peace. The masts can be vaguely seen at the intersection of the sea and the sky, and the invincible fleet of the Tang Dynasty.
One hour later, the tide will rise in the Yellow Sea. At that time, tens of thousands of ships set sail and forcibly landed at the mouth of Jinjiang. Old Liu came over and lowered his voice and said, "Look at the connection between heaven and water, the bow of the ship appears first and the masts later. This is abnormal. If you change it, have you encountered a storm?"
Wu Kang was stunned on the spot. You always observe carefully. What kind of general should you be a scientist. The phenomena you mentioned can be used to prove that the earth is round.
Unfortunately, Wu Kang pointed to the southeast and jokingly said, "I will discuss the issue of the earth if I have time to discuss it, I will make you stupid. Baekje reinforcements have arrived, so let's consider how to deal with it..."
Chapter completed!
