A fleet of ships moved slowly, with swaying sails and vigorous momentum.
On the boat, Qin Huaidao stood at the observation deck on the second floor and looked out into the distance, thinking about something on his mind. It had been almost four months since he had been out. Was Xueyan about to give birth? He had to hurry up and finish his errands and rush back. The child would be born without him, which would be a lifelong regret.
And He'er supports the entire Qin Mansion, I don't know what's going on?
When I go back this time, my daughter will be able to call her father, right?
Thinking of his daughter, Qin Huaidao's face showed a touch of warmth.
"Uncle——"
Luo Ying hurried over, stood side by side, looked at the vast sea ahead and added: "I just asked Brother Yamabei that we can arrive at the port of Osaka in the afternoon. There are many islands in the port, many docks, and the terrain is complex, but there is a river that leads directly to Kyoto.
After crossing the harbor, walking along the river for a short distance and then landing, you can go directly to Baekje Palace."
After saying that, Luo Ying took out a simple map and added: "This is the route map drawn by Brother Shanbei. I checked with Su Wo Rulu and it's OK."
Qin Huaidao looked at the map. Osaka Prefecture's seaport was like an oval egg, with the sea entrance and exit at one end and the river entrance and exit at the other end. The Baekje Palace where Emperor Shumei lived was near the bottom of the egg, not very far from the river entrance and exit. He asked: "Your
meaning is?"
"Old rules, quick fight and quick decision." Luo Ying suggested.
"No." Yuchi Baolin came over and objected: "The ships will be exposed when they enter the harbor. When we get ashore, we will probably be greeted by countless troops. If we cannot catch them by surprise, we must be prepared for a strong attack."
Qin Huaidao looked at the map and said nothing.
Luo Ying was a little dissatisfied and said, "Then how do you mean to fight?"
"I don't object to your Wolf Battalion taking the lead, but you must be prepared for a strong attack." Yuchi Baolin explained.
Luo Ying wanted to take the lead and didn't care how. He was relieved after hearing these words.
The two of them looked at Qin Huaidao at the same time, waiting for the final order.
Qin Huaidao didn't like to attack by force, so he only had two thousand soldiers and horses, all of whom were trained endlessly. It would be a pity to die. There would be a lot of casualties. He might be entangled. If he died in the Japanese country, no one could go back. It was not advisable.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Huaidao said: "Night attack!"
"Night attack?" Yuchi Baolin and Luo Ying exchanged looks, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, night attack."
Qin Huaidao looked determined and confident, and explained: "The six armored ships and the two tower ships are too obvious and will be exposed as soon as they get close. They stay in the open sea and wait. The village guard team will stay behind to guard them, and two hundred people will be transferred from Huying to assist.
It is better to use repeating crossbows to attack Baekje Palace. Try not to divert people from the Wolf Camp and leave dozens of explosive packs so that no one can get close." He said and looked at Yuchi Baolin.
"No problem." Yuchi Baolin agreed, fully believing in Qin Huaidao's command.
Qin Huaidao continued: "Others took sea ships, two in a group, and entered the harbor one after another after dark. The target was small, and it was not easy to arouse suspicion after dark. Even if they were discovered, they would think it was a fishing boat returning late. Two ships would not matter.
You can resist for a while even if you encounter danger."
"It's okay to break it into parts and divide the troops to infiltrate." Yuchi Baolin agreed.
"What should I do after arriving at the destination?" Luo Ying asked.
Qin Huaidao pointed to a location on the map and said: "You go over first, take Su Wo into the deer, and let him lead the way here. This bastard is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He doesn't dare to mess around. When he gets to the place, he lands, quickly deploys defenses, and responds to the people behind him.
Brother, after everything in Wolf Camp is over, Hu Camp will follow, and I will go with Hu Camp."
"If something unexpected happens, do you want to keep silent?" Luo Ying asked.
"It is said that no one will come out after dark. If there is an accident, keep quiet and wait for all the troops to arrive. Remember, except for those left for the troops staying behind, all weapons such as earth mines, explosive packs, crossbows, and feather arrows should be brought with you. Everyone
Take some with you and prepare." Qin Huaidao warned.
The two nodded solemnly and left quickly.
Not long after, the entire fleet slowly stopped and moved closer, and the battle order was passed on. The team that was left behind was very depressed, but they also knew the importance of the property on the building and were worried about leaving it to others, so Huying stayed behind.
The two hundred people were also very depressed. They finally had a chance to kill the enemy and take revenge. If they killed the Japanese emperor, they would brag about it for a lifetime.
But the military orders were overwhelming, and I was helpless.
Not long after, everything was ready. The two building ships and six troop carriers stopped moving forward. The other sea ships continued to move forward. The formation spread out and formed a straight line. The ones in front kept the speed, while the ones behind slowly slowed down and distanced themselves.
.
When the island was faintly discernible, the destination was approaching and all the ships stopped.
Until after dark, the moon was bright in the sky and the sea breeze was blowing.
The waves on the sea are rippling, reflecting the moonlight, beautiful and quiet.
Luo Ying looked at the sky and saw that the time was right. He took the two sea ships and continued forward. They moved forward slowly and calmly under the illumination of the moon. Soon they entered the harbor. The sea ships were supposed to have captured the mission. From the appearance
There were no clues. There were many fishing boats and merchant ships returning late in the harbor, and they were mixed in among them without anyone seeing through them.
After the one in front moved away, two more boats slowly passed by, looking like ghosts in the moonlight.
One wave after another.
The fifty sea ships were divided into twenty-five batches, each with forty people. The large number of people would easily arouse suspicion. They kept their distance from the front and back. Even if they were discovered, no one would think that they were a group. Although the Japanese country continued to have civil wars, they had never experienced it.
There was an invasion by outsiders, not to mention that it had just been unified and it was in Osaka Prefecture, so the awareness of prevention was very low.
The fleet successfully crossed the harbor and entered the inland river. Luo Ying stared at both sides with vigilance. The river at the entrance was relatively wide, and the boat walked in the middle. The river banks on both sides looked hazy, which was unreal under the moonlight.
Don't worry about exposure.
After walking a certain distance, Luo Ying estimated that it was almost done. He came to the cabin and said to Su Wo Rulu: "How long will it take to arrive?"
Although Su Wo Rulu wanted to live and was willing to confess, he did not dare to do such things as leading the party. Once exposed, there would be absolutely no place for death. He was very resistant to being coerced by Luo Ying to lead the way and did not answer.
When Luo Ying saw that Su Wo had lost his chain at the critical moment of entering the deer, he became furious and drew his sword. He said murderously: "You have to think about it, I don't mind giving you a knife."
"Leading the way means exposure and death. If you have the guts, use the knife."
"You've said so much, why are you pretending to be a loyal minister?" Luo Ying sneered unceremoniously.
"That's different!" Suwo said, rubbing his neck.
Luo Ying couldn't figure out what was different, and suddenly he had an idea and said: "You lead the way. After we kill Emperor Shuming and get what we want, I can suggest that my family supports you to become the new emperor. How about that?"
After a few words, Su Wo was attracted by the deer.
Luo Ying continued to confuse: "As long as you become the new emperor, who dares to call you a traitor? Just kill you. Until that day, it won't be whatever you say, you can do whatever you want."
What a traitor fears most is to be exposed, have his or her spine stabbed, and be scolded after death.
What a traitor wants most is recognition, recognition that everything he did was unavoidable, and can be forgiven. It is best to prove that everything he did was right and for the good of everyone.
What can prove you are right?
Nothing can be done. The only way is to become the emperor. You can tamper with it at will, distort it, and even package yourself as a great hero who saves the people and revitalizes the Japanese country. With the support of the Tang army, wouldn't it be possible to learn the advanced skills and culture of the Tang Dynasty?
Lead Japan to the light?
Thinking of this, Suga was tempted, and found the motivation and belief to go on. He solemnly asked: "What you said is the truth. Can it really support me to become the new generation emperor of Japan?"
"certainly!"
Luo Ying continued to make nonsense: "Your father is the prime minister of the Japanese country and has great power. Your family must have a profound heritage and a huge influence. With the support of my army and the strength of your family, it will be easy to sit on the throne of the emperor. What do you think?"
Thinking of the family's strength, Su Wo Rulu became even more motivated and said, "It's a deal."
"It's a deal!" Luo Ying lied. Anyway, what he said was a suggestion, not a decision. In the end, it had to depend on his uncle's decision. It wasn't considered a breach of trust.
If the other party fails to lead the way, or leads the way indiscriminately, the consequences will be serious, so just fool them.
Su Wo entered the deer but was immersed in his own world. Without thinking much, he walked from the cabin of the boat and looked at the river bank outside, and said: "We still have to go some distance, we are almost there."
"That's good." Luo Ying's heart dropped, and he continued to ask about Baekje Palace's troop deployment, combat effectiveness, equipment, and the arrival time of reinforcements, etc., so that he had a good idea.
Perhaps because he had made a decision in his heart, Su Woru knew everything and answered in detail. These situations were crucial to the next battle, so Luo Ying quickly wrote them down.
Unknowingly, after walking a certain distance, a pier appeared in front of us. Suga Rulu pointed to the pier and said: "Go ashore at the pier in front. The pier is for the exclusive use of the imperial court and cannot be used by civilians. It is guarded by a team of fifty people. Their combat effectiveness is not weak, and they are all equipped with weapons."
With bows and arrows, it’s up to you how to shoot them.”
"Only fifty people." Luo Ying smiled carelessly.
It's great that someone can provide detailed information.
