Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the endless blue sea, a medium-sized fleet is sailing from west to east. Although there are many ships in the fleet, they are not big. Moreover, the shapes of these ships are similar to those of the Tang Dynasty.  There is an obvious difference, and in comparison, these small ships are more crudely built. If a shipbuilding master like Wei Heizi saw it, he would definitely snort with disdain and ask, is this called a ship?

    At the forefront of this rudimentary fleet is a ship that is completely different from the other ships. Not only is it several times larger in size, but its shape is also more beautiful and solid. Anyone with knowledge can tell at a glance that this ship is  It was a blessing ship built by the Tang Dynasty, and on the deck of this blessing ship, a short figure wearing a light blue robe stood there, with a look of worry on his face.

    This is a fleet sent by the Japanese state to Baekje, but they have already arrived in Baekje and are now on their way back to the Japanese state. The ships are loaded with trophies from the 10,000 troops sent to Baekje.  The man standing on the bow of the boat is named Suga Qizhong. He is the actual controller of the Japanese government and a member of the Suga family.

    "Lord Suga, we were able to pass through this strait safely in the first place, and now we can go back safely. Don't worry too much, sir!" Seeing Suga's worried look, a retainer next to him spoke to comfort him.

    However, after hearing this, Su Gaizhong still sighed and said: "I hope so, but Danluo and Tsushima have all fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and there are also a large number of warships stationed. If they want to blockade  As for the Strait, it can be said to be a piece of cake.¡±

    Su Gaizhong's words were full of worries. When they went to Baekje, Datang only controlled one Danluo. But when they were about to return home, they heard the news that Tsushima Island had also been conquered.  The Tang Dynasty occupied it. As a result, the Tsushima Strait between Japan and Baekje has fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Tang Dynasty's Qi King Li Min is actively preparing for war, and a war with Baekje may occur at any time.  .  As an ally of Baekje, the Japanese nation is likely to be attacked by Tang warships.

    Thinking of the terrifying strength of the Tang Dynasty, Su Woqizhong couldn't help but sigh. Their Japanese country was isolated overseas, and there was always a feeling of arrogance in the country.  Even for the powerful Central Plains dynasty.  They didn't take it seriously, and at most they just treated each other as an equal country. When it was still the Great Sui Dynasty, their credential against the Great Sui Dynasty contained the content of "The Emperor of the East respects the Emperor of the West".  Literally, the king of his country and the emperor of the Central Plains were mentioned in the same status.

    ???????????????????? However, Su Wo Qizhong was a sensible person. He had also traveled to the Central Plains to study, and he knew the huge gap between the Japanese country and the Tang Dynasty, let alone the army of the Tang Dynasty, even if he was a son of the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.  That is to say, His Highness the King of Qi sent troops. I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop them with all the forces of Japan and Baekje.

    "Ship! There is a big ship!"

    Just when Su Wo was deep in thought, he suddenly heard someone beside him shouting in terror.  When he raised his head, he saw a group of large ships like dark clouds approaching them on the sea in the distance.  Originally, the lucky ship under his feet was ordered in Datang, and it was considered a rare large ship in the country. However, compared with the large ship that was rushing over, his ship was more than twice as small.

    Seeing the large fleet rushing over, Su Waqi felt a chill in his head.  In this sea area, there is no one else but Datang who can build such a huge warship, and from the looks of it, they are coming for them.

    "Sir, what should we do now? Are we ready to resist?" A general next to Su Wo Qizhong pulled out an imitation Tang Dao and said with determination.

    Su Woqizhong had a wry smile after hearing this. Although their fleet was not small in size.  But most of them were various trophies transported, and there were not many armed personnel on board.  And this is at sea. The most important thing in a fight is the performance of both sides' warships. And look at the giant ships of the other side. Let alone fighting, just a collision can knock them into the bottom of the sea.

    "Give up resistance. After all, we, Japan and Datang, are not at war yet, so they probably don't dare to do anything to us!" Su Woqizhong ordered helplessly.  At this time, he had clearly seen the ships coming from the other side. Almost all of them were large warships. The giant crossbows and trebuchets on them were all ready. If they dared to resist, it would not take long for their entire army to be annihilated.

    Although the Japanese warriors on the ship were a little unconvinced, when they saw the giant arm-thick crossbows on the opposite ship, they felt chilled in their hearts. They put all the weapons back to their original places, then stood up straight and glared at the approaching giant ship.  Su Wo Qizhong stood on the bow of the ship and raised his head to look at a giant ship approaching. The ship was obviously larger than other warships. There was a huge flag flying on the mast with the word 'Qi' written on it.  Obviously this is the warship of His Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty.

    The arriving warships of the Tang Dynasty obviously did not regard this Japanese fleet as a threat. The handsome ships at the front almost collided with the lucky ships in Suwaqi.?It stopped, and then a young general walked to the bow of the ship, leaned out and looked down, with a malicious smile on his rough face, and said in a lazy voice: "You have returned from Baekje.  Japanese fleet?"

    Seeing the arrogance of the other party, many Japanese warriors were angry. They were about to yell, but were stopped by Su Gaizhong. He stepped forward and bowed and said: "General Qi, we are from the Japanese state."  Fleet, I wonder why the general stopped us?"

    Hearing the other party¡¯s admission, the rough-looking general¡¯s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: ¡°By order of General Lu of Prince Qi¡¯s Palace, you all come with me!¡±

    Su Wa Qizhong was shocked when he heard that the other party was really coming for him, but he still said calmly: "General, this is not the sea area of ????the Tang Dynasty, and we are all sent by His Majesty the Emperor to Baekje  envoy, if the general detains us, I am afraid it will cause a diplomatic dispute between the two countries!"

    Su Wo Qizhong¡¯s words were soft but hard, pointing out his identity, hoping that the other party would take it into consideration.  However, the rugged General of the Tang Dynasty in front of him was obviously not a good person. As soon as Su Wo Qizhong finished speaking, the other party's expression immediately changed and he shouted sternly: "How dare you, the small country of Zuer, dare to claim to be the emperor? It's simply  If you don¡¯t take Datang seriously, I¡¯ll arrest everyone who comes!¡±

    As soon as the rugged general finished speaking, he saw rows of archers emerging from the parapet next to him. Their arrowheads flashing with cold light were all aimed at the Japanese ship below. This caused the people on the Japanese ship to immediately fall into chaos. After all, the people on the ship were in chaos.  Most of the personnel were just ordinary boatmen and had never seen such a formation before.

    " And Su Wa Qizhong didn't expect that the other party would fall out at any time. Before he had any preparations, he was already restrained by the other party.  And the opponent was obviously well prepared. As soon as the archers above appeared, they immediately threw hook ropes from the opponent's boat, and then the jump helpers in light armor jumped along the ropes to their own boat, in the blink of an eye.  He has already taken control of his own ship.

    At this time, the Tang Dynasty warships behind also started to move, surrounding their fleet like a pack of evil wolves. During this period, several ships wanted to escape, but although the opponent's ship was larger, it was faster than theirs.  The boats were even faster, so they quickly caught up with them, and then like dark clouds pressing down on the city, they pushed the Japanese boats into the sea. What's worse, some Tang army warships even used giant crossbows and trebuchets to attack the boats.  In the blink of an eye, several of the escaping ships were smashed to pieces.  Faced with this result, all the Japanese ships gave up their plans to escape and followed the Tang fleet obediently.

    The rugged general's name is Zhu Chong, the young general who followed Lu Qing to attack Luo. This is the first time he has led an army to act alone. Naturally, he is very excited. But what makes him regretful is that these Japanese countries  The human boat was too unchallenging, and the opponent became very obedient after a few hits, rendering the naval battle experience he learned useless.

    After tying up all the people on Su Wo Qizhong's ship and imprisoning them in his own war ship, Zhu Chong rushed to the other party's ship happily.  In fact, they had been keeping an eye on this fleet for a long time. They knew that Suwa Qizhong was going to Baekje to transport loot back home, so they intercepted them specifically to get this windfall.

    "Thisis this his fucking trophy?" Zhu Chong, who rushed into the cabin, stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence. Even if he was beaten to death, he never thought that these Japanese people would snatch everything. The so-called trophies except a few boxes of gold and silver.  And copper coins can be seen outside the eyes, but the other things are piles of clothing, food, Buddha statues and other messy things, even iron pots for cooking. These things are piled together in a mess, and they look like  A garbage dump.

    "General, are these Japanese people so poor and crazy? How can they even grab this thing?" As soon as Zhu Chong finished speaking, a Tang soldier next to him picked up a piece of clothing from a pile of clothes. This was a piece of clothing.  The red bellyband was only about the size of two palms. It looked like it was for children. However, what was shocking was that there was a dark red blood stain on the bellyband.

    Looking at this mess, Zhu Chong was quite speechless, but he was still reluctant to let people go to other ships to check. It turned out that the situation was not as good as the lucky ship they were on, except for a small amount of gold, silver and copper coins.  , In addition, some accessories are worth some money, but other clothes, food, etc. are not worth much at all.

    "Damn it, it's so unlucky. It seems that the rumors are indeed true. The Japanese country is really a poor and small country. I really don't know why His Highness would like it? I guess he will lose money if he defeats it." Zhu Chong looked dissatisfied.  grunted.

    However, no matter how dissatisfied Zhu Chong was, this Japanese fleet could not be put back. His warships sandwiched this fleet and sailed towards the newly conquered Tsushima Island in the wind and waves.  At the same time, the news of Datang's blockade of the Tsushima Strait was officially announced!
