Seeing the Japanese ships escaping rapidly, Liu Rengui did not pursue them, nor did the other Tang fleet. Instead, they all turned their bows to face the Gaogouli fleet.
The Japanese fled with eight ships, which meant that they lost dozens of ships after just these rounds of attacks, which was a heavy loss.
As for Gaogouli's fleet, there are still dozens of ships. Relatively speaking, it is natural to jointly attack the ones with more ships, and let the few go. The Japanese have no way to recover. Even if they let them go, it is no pity. This is why it is said that Gaogouli lost his last chance to escape.
At this time Liu Rengui also received the news that the arriving Tang warship was Liu Renyuan's fleet, which made him overjoyed.
With Liu Renyuan's cooperation, it would be a piece of cake to capture this Gogouli ship.
After the orders were issued, the fleet all turned around and blocked the seaway exit on the right. After Liu Renyuan sent a signal to communicate with Liu Rengui, he blocked the seaway exit on the left and blocked the entire seaway. .
Master Cui Dun, who was not observing what happened, was shocked when he saw that the Japanese actually fled the battlefield and lost so many ships. At this time, he could not figure out what was going on. You can jump into the sea and die.
But now it's too late to speed up his escape. Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan have blocked the sea where he escaped. There are only two ways now, one is to return to the port. All the crew members should disembark and escape from the ship. Maybe they can survive. , and there is a life-and-death fight with the Tang Army fleet.
But no matter which way out, it is a dead end for Master Cui Dun.
Before he could give the order, the ships of Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui were approaching him. Once they reached the range of the Tang army's crossbows, he would be dead.
"Retreat, retreat, return to the port, everyone disembarks and joins Commander Jin!"
In the end, Master Cui Dun still didn't have the courage to confront the Tang army head-on. The exploding crossbows were a nightmare for him, and he didn't have the courage to face them!
Seeing that Cui Dunshi wanted to escape to the port, Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan naturally did not allow such a thing to happen, and all the ships accelerated their pursuit.
Unexpectedly, Master Cui Dun fled too fast, and the distance between them was quite far. However, Master Cui Dun escaped and returned to the port.
Outside the port, Liu Renyuan's ship rushed in first and fired a salvo at the Gaoguli ship parked in the port.
Fires broke out one after another on the Goguli ships, and the firelight dyed the entire sky orange-red.
Although the Gogouli crew members on the ship desperately fled from the ship to the shore, there were too many people. In the end, only 60% escaped from the ship, and the remaining 40% sank into the sea with the warship.
Cui Dunshi, who fled ashore, did not stop at all, and fled towards the Gaoguli camp where the first batch of troops landed with only a few thousand men and horses.
Seeing this situation, Liu Renyuan had no choice but to do anything. Even if he ordered all the sergeants to disembark and pursue them, it would be too late. At the moment, he could only pass the news to Langya County Sheriff and ask him to try his best to stop it.
Fortunately, their battle reduced the number of more than 10,000 Gaoguli and Japanese people who originally landed by 10,000, otherwise the pressure on Langya County would be even greater.
In the north, in the camp where Luo Zhang was, Li Jing had returned to Dingxiang City to garrison, and the army in the camp was ready to go.
When the weather gets better, it is natural to launch an attack on the Turkic King's City. A sudden attack can achieve unexpected gains.
Besides, with coal as heating material and Luo Zhang's igloo, they were not afraid of severe cold at all. Even if the weather changed again, they could camp on the spot, build igloos, wait for the wind and snow to pass, and march again. You can't just stay here and wait for death.
Li Ji still did not leave as the rear army. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Hou Junji, Niu Jinda and Luo Zhang led 60,000 troops towards the royal city.
The reason why Luo Zhang followed instead of staying where he was was naturally because Sun Simiao was going to the royal city to save people. Otherwise, with Luo Zhang's temperament, he would not take such a risk by killing him.
After all, Luo Zhang is now a county official and has reached the pinnacle of his life. Wouldn't it be nice to keep a small life?
In the palace of the Turkic King, the Turkic King was lying on his soft couch, drinking fine wine, and looking at the singer dancing seductively in the palace. It was so comfortable.
Although the attack on the Tang Dynasty failed this time, it was nothing to him. He had failed before. As long as he lived, he could start over again. After two years of recuperating, he could lead his troops to attack the Tang Dynasty again. Datang launched an attack.
When he thought about it, it was impossible for the Tang army to stay in such weather. The only way was to withdraw. This was also the case before. As long as he retreated to the royal city, he would have nothing to worry about.
And with an insider like Changsun Wuji passing the news to him, he will definitely invade the Tang Dynasty next time and make the Emperor of Tang grovel and beg at his feet!
When the time comes, he will be able to take whatever he wants from the wealth of the entire Tang Dynasty. What a wonderful thing that will be!
Just as he was thinking about the future, a man wearing thick furs outside the hall walked into the hall, came to the Turkic King and whispered: "Your Majesty, I just received a letter from a flying pigeon. It was sent by Changsun Wuji. of!"
"Well? Changsun Wuji sent a letter? What did he say?" After hearing the news, the Turkic King still lay there without moving.
"Changsun Wuji said in the letter that as long as you give him the Five-Step Snake of the Western Regions, the conditions are up to you!" The man took out the letter and said to the King of Conflicts slowly at the same time.
"What conditions should I impose? Hahaha, it seems that Changsun Wuji really needs this five-step snake from the Western Regions. What kind of conditions should I impose?" The Turkic King laughed wantonly.
The man on the side also laughed. Although he was tall and thick, he was the think tank of the Turkic King. He helped the Turkic King make suggestions for many things, and he was highly appreciated by the Turkic King. Otherwise, the Turkic King would not treat him. So close.
"Our losses this time are not small, and we are even more short of weapons. Changsun Wuji doesn't have much else. Pig iron is his eldest grandson's family's business. How about asking him to send 100,000 kilograms of pig iron in exchange for this five-step snake from the Western Regions?" said the man. came up with his suggestion.
"One hundred thousand kilograms of pig iron? Yes, yes. In this way, we can create a lot of weapons for our army to use. In two years we can launch another attack on the Tang Dynasty. This matter will be done as you say, give it to Changsun Wuji Send a message and tell him that without a hundred thousand kilograms of pig iron, don't even think about getting the Western Region Five-step Snake. I think he will agree to our request!" The Turkic King smiled even more.
"Haha, your Majesty is wise. This eldest son Wuji is so eager for the Five-Step Snake of the Western Regions that he will definitely agree to your request!" The man boasted from the side.
