Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ww.x.om Under the leaden sky, there is a sea that cannot be seen in the heart. The blue sea surface in the past has turned into a dark dark blue under this gloomy weather, which looks very  Heavy, and on this heavy sea, there is a huge fleet moving forward, as if not worried about the coming storm.

    "General, do you think those Japanese have the guts to fight us on the sea?" On the largest flagship in the fleet, the ferocious-looking Zhu Chong asked Lu Qing, who was studying the chart, with an eager expression on his face.

    But Lu Qing said without looking back: "Don't worry, those Japanese have always been arrogant. Last time we deliberately avoided the battle, which made their arrogance even stronger, even if they knew that we had wiped out hundreds of people."  Ji, but they are definitely not afraid of us, so they will definitely be waiting for us in the Tsushima Strait!"

    Hearing Lu Qing¡¯s words, Zhu Chong became even more excited. His previous avoidance of the battle had already made him angry. He had long wanted to have a fight with the Japanese to let them know who was the overlord of the sea?  It is precisely because of this idea that Zhu Chong is most worried that when the news of Baekje's demise reaches the Japanese country, the Japanese country will be asked to withdraw the 40,000 naval troops, and then he will have no chance to fight. Now  After hearing Lu Qing's judgment, he finally felt relieved.

    The weather on the sea is constantly changing. In this gloomy weather, many veteran sailors thought that there would be a heavy rainstorm. Unfortunately, this time they were distracted, and the heavy rain that was about to fall was delayed.  It hasn't started raining yet, and the dark clouds in the sky haven't dispersed yet. It's just been dark all the time. I don't know what God's plan is.

    But whether it rains or not, Lu Qing and the others are not worried. After all, with the excellent performance of the warships under their feet, as long as they don't encounter a big storm, there won't be any big problems, and it's only the beginning of the severe winter.  The past was obviously not the time for storms.  So there is nothing to worry about. There are even many soldiers who are looking forward to the rain coming soon. Then they can collect more fresh water and reserve it. Maybe they can take a bath and rub the mud off their bodies.  .  However, Lu Qing didn't care about these chores. After commanding the fleet to find the right direction, he rushed into the Tsushima Strait for the second time.

    This time, just like last time, Lu Qing and the others¡¯ first stop was still Danluo.  After their entire army withdrew from the Tsushima Strait last time, Danluo was occupied by the Japanese navy.  Lu Qing originally thought that he would encounter the Japanese navy here, so he prepared for battle early. However, when he arrived here, he discovered that the Japanese navy stationed here had already retreated.

    "General, you are back, please don't leave again!" As soon as Lu Qing and the others landed on the island, King Danluo Duluo and his people cried to him.  Douluo's appearance can be said to be very miserable. The iconic cotton clothes he used to wear are gone, and he is the same as the subjects behind him.  He only wore some burlap cloth around his body, although the temperature on the island was not too low.  But Douluo and the people around him were all shivering. It was obvious that the linen on his body was not keeping warm at all.

    "How did you end up like this?" Lu Qing asked with a frown. When they occupied Danluo last time, they asked Duluo to summon the residents of the island to help build the port, and the other party was also very cooperative. This made Lu Qing  Very satisfied and have a very good impression of Duro.  Later, it was agreed to allow the soldiers to do transactions with the residents of the island. This move greatly promoted Danluo's economic growth, and even several island nobles second only to Duluo wore cotton clothes.  But what I see now is a group of Danluo nobles who look like beggars.

    "General, you don't know that those Japanese are just a bunch of beasts. They came to the island to steal food, clothes and women. They robbed almost everything on the island that could be moved.  And this is not bad, even a lot of young women on the island have been snatched away, and now they are all sent to Tsushima Island. Please make the decision for us, General!" Douluo cried with snot and tears.

    The total population of Danluo is only over 10,000, and they have no ability to protect themselves at all. They used to rely on Baekje, and last time they surrendered to Lu Qing and the others, but whether it is Baekje or Lu Qing, they only need Danluo.  The geographical location does not have much ill will towards their country, but the Japanese country is different. These short Japanese people are very arrogant and will rob whatever they see. The islanders may lose their lives if they resist even a little. In just a few days,  Almost all their food, clothing, etc. were robbed, and even a lot of young women were robbed, so the people on the island hated the Japanese very much.

    After listening to Dora's words, Lu Qing was not surprised. The 10,000 soldiers sent by the Japanese country to the Baekje battlefield also gave the Silla people a lot of trouble. Later, after the Japanese were surrounded by the Silla people,  I heard that they were all chopped into pieces by the Silla people, which shows how hated the Japanese were.

    Although Lu Qing was somewhat disapproving of the Japanese harm to Danluo,??After all, this is not the Tang Dynasty, and Danluo is not their vassal country, so there is no protection. It is just because of the previous happy cooperation and some sympathy for Danluo in nature, so Lu Qing  However, he comforted the other party with a few words and assured the other party that if Tsushima Island was captured, the Danluo women who had been robbed would be sent back.

    Lu Qing and the others came here to have a decisive battle with the Japanese people, and Tsushima Island is one of the keys to controlling the people of Tsushima Strait, so they will definitely defeat them in the future. If those Danluo women are really on the island,  Naturally, it is not difficult to send a favor, and Dan Luo can also remember this favor, so that they may be able to use them for something in the future.

    Hearing that General Lu of the Tang Dynasty really agreed to help, Douluo was extremely grateful. As for the questions Lu Qing asked next, he naturally knew everything.

    And Lu Qing learned from Douluo that there were originally 10,000 Japanese navy troops stationed on Danluo Island, and there were more than 200 ships, but most of them were small boats, which were not comparable to their warships.  In other words, one warship in Lu Qing's hands was more than the ten warships of the Japanese.

    Originally, these ten thousand Japanese people were stationed in Danluo, but they seemed to have suddenly received some news two days ago, and then quickly retreated. At first, Danluo was still wondering what happened. Now it seems that it must be those Japanese people who received the news.  Lu Qing and the others had received news of their return, so they retreated.

    "Then do you know where these Japanese people retreated to?" Lu Qing then asked.

    "This" Douluo recalled for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "General Qizhen, I don't know exactly where they went, but judging from the direction they left, they should have gone to the north. It is probably possible  We retreated to Tsushima Island."

    Lu Qing nodded after hearing this. This is similar to what he guessed. The Tsushima Strait is the main route from Japan to the mainland. They will definitely not give up easily. Since they have withdrawn from Danluo Island, they are likely to shrink their troops.  They all return to Tsushima Island and use this as a base to fight them to the death.

    Thinking of this, Lu Qing waved Douluo and others to go down, but he called all the sea generals to a meeting to discuss the next strategy against the enemy. As a result, all the generals agreed that they were far superior to each other in terms of strength, so there was no need to play.  What's the trick? Just sail the ship to Tsushima Island and have a decisive battle with the opponent.

    Lu Qing smiled slightly after hearing this. Although he had this idea, he could not take it lightly at any time. Even if he rushed over like this, he still had some skills to use.

    Lu Qing and the others rested in Danluo for two days, then set sail and headed north along the strait, aiming directly at Tsushima Island. Although it is not yet certain whether the main fleet of Japan is on the island, this is the Tsushima Strait.  throat, so it must be in hand no matter what.

    However, Lu Qing and the others did not go directly to the island. Instead, they settled on a deserted island two to three hundred miles away from Tsushima Island, and then sent a small fleet to Tsushima Island. On the one hand, they wanted to check the current situation.  The situation on the island, on the other hand, is to test the reaction of the Japanese people.

    As a result, this small fleet successfully captured a patrol fleet sent from the island, and then learned from them that the Japanese had indeed mobilized all their naval forces to Tsushima Island, and it was not the previous 40,000  Instead, they mobilized 10,000 naval troops from the country, adding up to a total of 50,000, and thousands of warships. Although they were all small boats, if Lu Qing and the others were surrounded, they would still be qualified for a battle.

    After inquiring about these situations, this small fleet did not kill the captured Japanese, but coerced the other party to let them lead the way. Relying on the strength and speed of their own ships, they harassed the Japanese around Tsushima Island and  By the way, let¡¯s get a rough idea of ??the layout of the Japanese on Tsushima Island.

    The Japanese on Tsushima Island have already received news of Lu Qing's arrival. Originally, the naval commander of the Japanese country was a relatively sober person. He knew that although his side had more people, the actual combat power was not superior, so  He planned to wait for work in leisure and prepare to rely on the defenses on Tsushima Island to offset the advantage of the Tang Army's warships.

    Unfortunately, Lu Qing had already seen through the opponent's plan, so he did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, after the sent small fleet found out the situation on Tsushima Island, he immediately dispatched several small fleets around Tsushima Island.  When cruising around, when they encounter a Japanese fleet, they fight if they can. If they can't, they call in other teams to fight again. In a short period of time, Tsushima Island is isolated from the outside world. If most of them are not used, the people on the island will not be able to fight.  Can't get out.

    Regarding the arrogant provocation of the Tang Dynasty navy, all the Japanese on Tsushima Island were very angry. Many people clamored for a decisive battle with the Tang people, and the voices became louder and louder. In the end, even the commander of the Japanese navy could not suppress it.  With the sound of a decisive battle at sea, even the Japanese nation put pressure on him. In the end, in desperation, this very sober navy commander stillUnable to withstand the pressure, he had to mobilize 50,000 troops to go to sea to find a decisive battle between the Tang Army. The first great sea battle between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom finally came.
