Chapter 113 The Battle of Tsushima (3)
What Fujiwara Tomohei and Tadaohei Fujiwara were unexpected was that the speed of the Lingnan Navy's navigation once again broke their cognition. Seeing various warships breaking through the waves, the speed was as fast as a ghost, the two were so surprised that they could not speak for a moment.
"How can the Tang army warships be so fast?" Fujiwara Tadaohei ordered the Japanese navy to rush back to the water village. The warships gathered on the periphery of Hongniwan had just been conveyed for a while. At most, the direction had been adjusted, and the Lingnan navy had already sailed half a distance!
If this continues, the first batch of warships closest to the water camp will not be able to return, and the Lingnan Navy's warships will arrive at the water camp. With the little defensive force reserved by the water camp, the outcome will only be even more miserable than that of Shio Fujiwara's troops!
Fujiwara Toshihei also felt deep despair.
When the Tang army was sailing to Tsushima Island, their monks and scouts had already reconnaissed. At that time, they did not find that the Lingnan Navy was so fast. It is obvious that the real performance of the warships was not revealed at all during the marching of the Tang army.
"We are not opponents than the strong bow and crossbow. We are still at an absolute disadvantage compared to the number of great monks. Now our warships are far from keeping up with the speed of the Tang army. What should we do? How can we fight this battle?"
Tadaohei Fujiwara felt dizzy, and his extreme sense of powerlessness almost broke him.
Now it seems that the Tang army does not have to rely on "flesh and blood" to rush into their defense line to attack the water camp. By then, more than a thousand warships will become wanderers, and even half of them will be able to cross the strait and return to their homeland will not be able to cross the strait and return to the local area!
Should we let the monks and soldiers on the small warship abandon the ship and board the big ship?
When Tadaohei Fujiwara thought of this, he felt his heart bleeding.
Although small warships are not large in size, their functions are very important and are indispensable on the battlefield. Large warships are not flexible enough. If they are not protected by small warships, they will be besieged and entangled by small warships in the Tang army, and become insects on the spider webs!
Those small warships were also his hard work and were the powerful tools he made for excellence. If he said he would give up, Tadaohei Fujiwara felt so uncomfortable that he could not breathe normally.
But now that things have come to this point, Tadaohei Fujiwara has no choice at all. Otherwise, he could not even save the lives of the soldiers, so he lost the possibility of a comeback!
Although it would be a great loss to discard small warships, as long as the soldiers survived, it would be very fast to build small warships in the future, even if it would cost a lot of money. In order to harass the rear of the Tang army and cooperate with the land war, this would be the only way to do it!
Thinking of this, Tadaohei Fujiwara clenched his fists, his red eyes full of humiliation. Doing so would prove that they had been defeated in the battle with the Tang Army Navy! In the future, they would no longer have the ability to fight head-on with the Lingnan Navy, and could only hinder the other party's logistics supply line.
"This is the greatest shame for me, Tadaohei Fujiwara in my life. I have shamed the Fujiwara family!" Tadaohei Fujiwara held the hilt of the knife, blaming himself for a great urge to seduce the stomach, "But as long as it can effectively support the local war and finally defeat the Tang army, the sacrifice of the navy is worth it!"
Tadaohei Fujiwara comforted himself, his face fluttering. He didn't want to do this if he had any hope, because in that case, even if Japan finally repels the Tang army, his dereliction of duty would be great. The crime of defeat today was for sure and would leave a bad reputation in history!
"Zhongping, look, Tang Jun has slowed down! They have slowed down!"
Suddenly, Fujiwara Shiphi's surprise voice sounded, and it was like a natural sound in Fujiwara Tadaehime's ears! He quickly looked up and saw that the speed of the Tang army's ship had not only dropped, but also dropped to an extremely low level, and it almost stopped the ship!
"What is Tang Jun doing?" Fujiwara Torihiro asked his younger brother with a puzzled look.
Tadaohei Fujiwara was also confused. The Tang army had already seized the best fighter opportunity. As long as they were brave and diligent, they could successfully capture their water camp and win the battle. Their navy would have to leave in a deserted place.
As soon as he thought that the Tang army did not use any tactics, and just pushed them over, their navy would collapse layer by layer, and Tadai Fujiwara had the urge to jump into the sea. But now, why did the Tang army take the initiative to stop and give up the big fighter jet?
"Quick! Order the navy to return to the camp quickly, without considering the formation, and then go back to the water camp first!" Fujiwara Tadaehiro seized the opportunity that passed away and hurriedly issued this order. Only then did he have the heart to observe the Lingnan navy and explore the intention of the other party's sudden stop.
At this time, Tadaohei Fujiwara finally discovered that there was a lot of noise in the back of the Tang army, and the ships and flag sails were searching for their shuttles, as if they were fighting with people.
Tadaohei Fujiwara's eyes lit up. Could it be that Shio Fujiwara's troops counterattacked in desperate situations, causing trouble to the Tang army's rear formation, forcing the Tang army to temporarily slow down the attack speed and completely solve them first?
Is this guy Shio Fujiwara really useful?
Soon, several great monks flew out on the Tang army ship and came not far in front of Tadaohei Fujiwara and others.
The leader was arrogant and did not have to look at people directly, but squinted at them and said in a high tone: "Listen to Fujiwara Tadaehiro, our army commander said that you are a small country and a weak army, and you are not your opponents at all. Now you will give you a way out and surrender immediately!"
Looking at the expressions of the Tang Dynasty monks and listening to such insulting words, Tadaohei Fujiwara was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out.
However, he finally understood why the Tang army slowed down.
Tadaohei Fujiwara suppressed his ecstasy. It was a dream that the Tang army wanted to persuade him to surrender. No matter what the other party had, as long as the warships from Hongniwan rushed back, the water camp would be able to stay away. There is still a lot of potential for this battle!
Tadaohei Fujiwara and Shigehei Fujiwara looked at each other and understood the meaning of each other's eyes: He was with Tang Junxu and the snake, waiting for the warship to return!
After the decision was decided, Tadaohei Fujiwara was patient, endured the arrogance of the Tang Dynasty monks, and talked with the other party with kindness.
"Your Majesty, we are sure to win. We just need to kill the generals. The Japanese navy will definitely be defeated. Why do we suddenly slow down?" Yang Xingmi asked this question respectfully after he executed Li Ye's order.
"It is easy to defeat the Japanese navy, but defeat does not mean completely annihilation. If you are only satisfied with defeating the opponent, the Lingnan navy's advantage cannot be fully utilized." Li Ye said lightly.
He had just received a report from a great monk and learned that the Japanese navy warship was actually concentrated in Hongniwan on a large scale, and was rushing towards the water camp at full speed. The Lingnan Navy has a large number of great monks and a high level, so the Japanese navy cannot control one-on-one, which gives them the opportunity to investigate the trends of the Japanese navy.
If the Lingnan Navy directly attacks the Japanese Navy's village, it will only be able to capture the camp. At that time, the Japanese Navy will inevitably retreat, and the Lingnan Navy will not be able to wipe out the opponent.
This time, when the soldiers landed, the back would be completely vast. If there was a strong navy on the sea, it would be like a rampant thief in the backyard. Once the fire in the backyard occurred, the army's logistics supply line would be cut off and they would fall into a desperate situation.
Even if the Japanese navy cannot cut off the Tang army's logistics line, as long as it continues to harass and affects its normal operation, it will be a nightmare for the Tang army soldiers who fight across the sea and in foreign countries.
So in the current battle, Li Ye must have achieved the result of his victory, which is to completely wipe out the Japanese navy and erase them from this sea area.
After listening to Li Ye's explanation, Yang Xingmi suddenly realized and admired her: "Your Majesty is really a talented and stubborn. The last general did not expect this. It almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, your Majesty's orders can make the soldiers of the three armies safe and sound!"
This is flattering.
Li Ye ignored it and asked Yang Xingmi to prepare. "When all the Japanese navy rush back, Tadaohei Fujiwara should set up defenses at all levels. This is the only way to resist the powerful arch and crossbow of magic weapons. We do not have any advantage in consuming materials. Once their warships complete the assembly inside and outside the water village, you will lead the team to rush over, be sure to quickly surround and annihilate, and there must be no delay!"
This sounds a bit inconsistent, but Yang Xingmi understood what Li Ye meant. Without saying a word, he immediately executed the order and arranged the next tasks for each part.
Time flies quickly, Fujiwara Tadaehiro tells his grievances to the Tang monks in front of him with humble and respectful attitude, with a humble and indignant attitude: "My country has always been respectful to the Tang Dynasty and dare not offend it at all. When the Celestial Army came to attack, we were both frightened and sad, and I don't know why..."
The envoy of the Tang Dynasty looked impatient.
He scolded with a cold face: "Don't talk nonsense! My king's army is here to be the will of heaven and to unify the country for Your Majesty. If you don't say that you have received the emperor's kindness in the world, your ancestors are all from the Central Plains. Now it's time for you to recognize your ancestors and return to your Majesty and serve Your Majesty. Those who know each other should surrender quickly, otherwise you will be wiped out!"
While dealing with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, Tadaohei Fujiwara closely monitored the progress of his warships returning to the village.
Seeing that the army was about to come back, it began to build layers of defense according to his arrangement. Fujiwara Tadaehiro was happy and was arrogant at the Lingnan Navy. He didn't know how to be contemptuous, but he still looked in fear.
"The Tang Dynasty is so powerful that we are all respectful. But where does this ancestor's theory start? Oh, if the Tang Dynasty wants us to surrender, His Majesty the Emperor still needs to submit the letter of the country. In this way, we can go back and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor..."
In order to stabilize the other party and prevent the other party from leaving and start a war early, Tadaohei Fujiwara lowered his attitude again and again, and his name to the Tang Dynasty became the Tang Dynasty. He felt a breath in his heart, and a burst of fire would make Tang Jun laugh, and he could no longer look arrogant!
Finally, the defense line of our side was fully arranged, and Tadaohei Fujiwara stood up straight.
His humble and humble smile calmed down, and a rebellious look appeared between his eyebrows. He was about to point at the envoy of the Tang Dynasty and say something tough, but he saw that the other party put away his impatient face almost at the same time, threw a word and turned around and left, not giving Fujiwara Tadaehei a chance to speak at all.
