After waiting for another four days, the first news from the east coast came belatedly.
"There is a Japanese pirate team of tens of thousands of people who have been circling about 30 miles east of the Yuanning Mountains. The enemy has been circling in place for more than a day, and its intentions are temporarily unclear."
east side,
well.
Shotaro Okudera let out a long sigh.
When the water on the ground gradually subsided, he led his troops to attack Wu Siyuan on the post road under the order of Naoto Kudo.
This is a dangerous move in military operations, and it is also an order that requires success or failure.
As long as Baekje Wusiyuan has a little precaution.
By then there will be a bad road behind the previous level, and there will definitely be no turning back.
But when Shotaro Okudera received the order, not only did he not refuse, but he was quite proud of it.
The more difficult the situation, the more brave the general will be remembered by the general and put to use...
Shotaro Okudera is so proud in his heart.
He wished that the water on the ground would recede immediately so that he could lead his men into the Yuanning Mountains and make the Baekje people flee.
only,
Things went counterproductive.
Previously, Kudo Naoto was busy fighting the East China Sea Barrier at sea, and ordered the farmers to dig countless trenches east of Yuanying Mountain to prevent Baekje from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.
At that time, they did successfully stop Baekje Jiang Xuesong's attack.
But this meeting became an obstacle that prevented Shotaro Okudera from going west.
The ground was covered with thick silt and garbage everywhere, making it difficult for the army to move. Not long after walking, they encountered a channel-shaped water ditch running from north to south.
The soldiers jumped down without hesitation and then disappeared without a trace.
How Jiang Xuesong scolded his mother at that time, how Okudera Shotaro is jumping around now.
At least Jiang Xuesong could order his men to go back and cut down trees, build bridges, dig soil and fill ditches.
But when the Japanese pirates were swept away by the flood, Shotaro Okudera had nothing in his hands and could only stare at the water in front of him, helpless.
If you can't move forward, take a detour.
Star Luo's eyes on the Yuanning Mountains watched the army move north and then turn south, or split into two groups and then retreat again. After watching for a long time, he couldn't understand their intentions.
The message was not long, and Ren Ning was confused, but he waved his hand.
"Send the message to General Wu on the post road."
Yi Road, Wu Siyuan Checkpoint.
The two checkpoints were severely damaged, and even the city walls specially built with bricks and stones were almost washed away by the floods.
Wu Siyuan looked around with a sullen face, and the leather armor on his chest and the sword on his waist were stained with a few streaks of scarlet red.
The personal guards and lieutenants around him were all filled with murderous intent.
The violent storm that lasted for half a month swept away almost everything on the post road, not only the checkpoints but also the majority of the soldiers guarding them were lost.
Since there were so many soldiers who had no time to evacuate, it is understandable that the generals, captains, and princes from the capital were washed away by the flood.
"Is there any more?" Wu Siyuan suddenly said.
He asked incomprehensibly, but the deputy general of the bodyguard beside him understood it clearly.
"Back to the general, all those who are afraid of death and afraid of moving forward have been imprisoned or sent away."
After the guards and lieutenants finished speaking, they looked at each other excitedly.
They even raised their voices slightly when saying "send".
Although the entire level is now missing more than half of the people, it is finally firmly in their hands.
Of course, the premise is that the capital will no longer send all kinds of people who are obviously leading the army but are actually holding back the troops.
Wu Siyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Most of the people imprisoned are generals' disciples, and they all have special skills. If they can change their appearance and decide to resist the Japanese pirates in the future, let them come out to lead the troops. If not..."
Then let this flood wash them away too.
From now on, no one will be seen in life, and no corpse will be seen in death.
"yes!"
"General," Jiang Xuesong couldn't help but stood up and made a fierce slicing motion with his hands, "They say there is a layer of skin between people's hearts. They are not from the same group as us. After all, leaving them here is just a legacy, why not..."
The last time Naoto Kudo and the East China Sea Barrier fought at sea, he took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack the east coast. It can be said that the whole journey was unstoppable.
However, it was these burdens that held Wu Siyuan back, and he was unable to expand his victory.
It can be said that among the group of generals behind Wu Siyuan, Jiang Xuesong almost hated those people sent by the capital the most but were greedy for life and afraid of death.
well.
Wu Siyuan let out a long sigh and raised his eyes to look east.
He also wanted to kill a hundred people.
However, there are really not many generals in Xiaobaekje who can lead the army, so they can only keep them temporarily.
At this moment, a messenger came in a hurry.
"General, news from the Starfall Legion."
Wu Siyuan perked up and asked, "How are they doing over there?"
The messenger shook his head and said, "Back to General, my subordinates don't know. The other party sent the message on their own initiative."
Wu Siyuan nodded, lowered his head and read the message.
The message is not long and can be understood at a glance.
Passing the news in his hand to the deputy general beside him, Wu Siyuan shook his head with appreciation, "As expected of the Starfall Legion. We haven't even cleared the door of our house yet. They have already grasped the situation outside the mountain."
"It seems that the Japanese pirates want to take advantage of our unpreparedness to attack us. Let's cheer up and repair the two checkpoints as soon as possible. At the same time, we will open up the post road back to the west."
They don't have much food and grass in their hands.
"General Jiang, immediately bring twice as many troops to Yuanning Pass to set up an ambush. Give them whatever you want. Let me kill them."
"Yes!" Jiang Xuesong cheered up, summoned his lieutenant and left in a hurry.
The movement from Wu Siyuan's side quickly spread to Ren Ning's table.
Lei Er, who was standing next to him, applauded loudly, "Wu Siyuan was really resolute and decisive. He directly took advantage of the flood to destroy those indifferent generals and supervisors."
However, he likes it.
It would be so satisfying if Yun Chui also killed those generals who were afraid of war and retreated, such as Huang Shitao of Beihaiguan and Tian Hongyan of Yanhui Corps.
Central Baekje, Golden Dragon Beach.
The violent storms here stopped later than those in the Yuanning Mountains to the east.
As soon as the rain stopped, Zhongyong Boxiao came out to look around.
The soldiers around him were clearing the mud around the camp one by one and working hard to restore the washed-out anti-landing fortifications on the shore.
Especially those dozens of huge ballistae-breaking chariots. I thought they were very solid, but I didn't know that more than ten of them were blown down by this rare typhoon.
"One, two, three! Pull!"
"One, two, three! Pull!"
Dense soldiers are working hard to straighten them and repair them.
"Don't follow me, go and help." Xiao Zheng sent the guards around him, then turned around and asked: "How are the human and material losses? Have they been calculated?"
"General, the statistics have been calculated." The military advisor next to him reported one by one.
Report!
The messengers and Chen Xiuzhu's staff arrived with one foot deep and one foot shallow, stepping on the thick mud.
"General, His Highness the King of Qi lost track of him five days ago and has not returned yet."
What?
Xiao Zheng felt dizzy for a while.
He grabbed one of his staff and said, "Shen Zhengchu, don't you live with His Highness? What's going on?"
Everyone has been missing for five days, and now they come to report?
Shen Zhengchu and others were also speechless.
Luo Ken, the maternal ancestor of the King of Qi, who was also the Minister of Industry, often corresponded with his grandson. He especially liked to compare the merits of various princes and princes.
For example, King Qin is currently the only prince of Emperor Changxing who has many children, and his children can gain points among the important ministers.
He also suggested that his grandson should have a child as soon as possible.
It's just that Chen Xiuzhu has been in the military camp and is far away on the Baekje Peninsula. It is almost impossible to get Princess Qi of Xingji City pregnant.
So, taking advantage of the violent storm and the army's truce, the staff secretly walked around among the high gates of Baekje, and quickly selected a young lady of the right age and from a famous family, and made various promises.
The other party readily agreed.
Chen Xiuzhu was also a normal young man. He still had his grandfather's orders, and it was stormy and dark outside, so he didn't need to worry about it, so he stayed in the girl's room and didn't go out.
The master is having fun, so of course his subordinates shouldn't disturb him.
