I heard that Japanese warships were coming to attack.
Li Chongyi immediately ordered the entire army to defend against the enemy.
Li Xiaogong on the other side noticed something was wrong when he heard the news.
He said bluntly: "Today, our army has continuously sunk three or four hundred Japanese warships, if not five hundred. Why do they still have so many warships?"
The counselor next to him said directly: "Perhaps they had hidden some power before?"
"impossible."
"No one would start a water fight like that."
"After all, the only ever tactic when using troops on the water is that the more the better."
"If they had eight or nine hundred warships before, they would have sent them out long ago. They couldn't have waited until now."
Li Xiaogong said: "Besides the Japanese warships we sunk, we also caused them to lose so many sailors."
"And now, there are another 300 warships, with at least 50,000 naval troops on board."
"So many people came from them?"
Li Xiaogong looked at the strategic sand table in front of him and said, "Maybe there is another plan in this..."
After hearing this, the counselor felt that Li Xiaogong was a little worried.
He said: "I am afraid that these little dwarfs were beaten stupid by the general. They have completely forgotten the tactics and are now just rushing to die."
"You can't talk nonsense like this."
"No matter how stupid a general is, he would never let his soldiers die like this."
Li Xiaogong narrowed his eyes and suddenly opened them again.
He asked directly: "What kind of wind is it today?"
The counselor thought for a moment and said, "It's... Nanfeng."
"not good."
"I'm afraid these Japanese soldiers will fight tooth and nail."
Li Xiaogong said bluntly: "Go and inform Chongyi quickly, let him lead the army to retreat quickly, and do not engage in battle with the Japanese army!"
It was too late for him to react now.
Li Chongyi was already fighting with the Japanese army.
These Japanese troops may be different from the previous ones.
The previous ones were all direct battles with them.
But these Japanese troops completely ignored the artillery fire and trebuchets on the Tang Dynasty side, and rushed straight towards the formation on the Tang Dynasty side.
At the beginning, Li Chongyi was not clear about their tactics.
But when he saw the Japanese warships bursting into flames as they were about to approach his side, he understood.
Damn it, these Japanese soldiers are planning to die with us.
He did not hesitate immediately and directly ordered: "All warships separate as quickly as possible and avoid the burning warships."
In fact, there was no need for him to give orders. The commanders below who were directing the soldiers to fight were already giving orders.
But now it's too late to send the order.
The Japanese warships were filled with hay soaked in kerosene.
As long as this thing ignites, even if it is poured with water, it will not be extinguished.
Dozens of Japanese warships crashed into Datang's first line of defense.
At that moment, the fire soared into the sky and lit up the entire sea level.
A gunboat had no time to get out of the way and was hit by several Japanese warships burning with blazing flames.
In an instant, the invincible gunboat on the sea also burst into flames, and the soldiers on it were burned and ran around.
Seeing this scene, Li Chongyi also knew that he had fallen into a trap.
He really didn't expect that these Japanese soldiers would use the jade-breaking strategy.
Gradually, Datang's losses increased, and one of the two gunboats caught fire.
You know, the gunboat was filled with cannonballs. At this moment, the fire was igniting the cannonballs on the gunboat.
A loud roar was heard in the helix of the ear, and the huge shock wave affected the surrounding Tang Dynasty warships.
Those who were further away were better off, but they were staggered by the air waves.
Those who were close were unlucky. Some flaming cannonballs were shaken onto the ship and exploded instantly. Many soldiers were killed by their own cannonballs without even understanding what was going on.
In an instant, Datang's side was completely shaken.
Many warships were affected and could not fight at all.
Seeing this scene, Li Chongyi also knew that he had lost this battle and could not continue to fight.
He directly ordered the entire army to withdraw westward and move closer to Li Xiaogong.
The Japanese army took advantage of this opportunity to break through Datang's water defense line in one fell swoop and headed further north.
In this battle, Datang suffered heavy losses.
More than ten warships sank on the spot, and more than a thousand soldiers were buried in the sea.
In addition, more than ten warships were seriously damaged and unable to continue fighting.
Of course, these are not the biggest losses. The biggest loss is the sinking of the gunboat.
…
Command the ship.
Li Chongyi knelt in front of Li Xiaogong: "My son is so incompetent that he didn't see the Japanese army's plan, and he asked his father to punish him."
"Punish your ass."
Li Xiaogong took a deep breath and said, "Is now the time to talk about this?"
"And I can't punish you for your crimes. After all, the marching commander is His Highness."
Regarding Li Chongyi's failure.
Li Xiaogong was also helpless.
After all, war sometimes relies not entirely on force, but also on assessing the situation on the battlefield.
In the final analysis, the reason why Li Xiaogong suffered a defeat was due to lack of experience.
If he had known that Nanfeng was very advantageous to the Japanese army using the jade-breaking strategy, this battle could have been completely avoided.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Since it has already failed, there is no need to pursue anything more.
He only said to Li Chongyi: "You have to get back the face you have lost."
Hearing this, Li Chongyi raised his head and glanced at Li Xiaogong, then lowered his head and said: "Don't worry, Dad, if I catch these little dwarfs, I will make them pay with their blood."
"Okay, as long as you have the ambition."
"But death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."
"Before His Highness deals with you, I must deal with you first."
"Only in this way can we convince the public."
Li Xiaogong said: "I asked my men to beat you with thirty army sticks. Do you have any complaints?"
"No."
Li Chongyi cupped his hands and said, "My son just feels that what his father did is unfair. I would like to ask him to be held responsible for fifty years."
"good."
"Yes."
"He is my son, Li Xiaogong."
Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said, "Come on, pull him down and punish him with fifty army sticks."
The soldiers next to him immediately stepped forward and dragged Li Chongyi down.
Rewards and punishments are clear, this is what Li Xiaogong is like.
And after Li Chongyi was dragged out.
Li Xiaogong directly ordered the people around him: "Send out a survey ship to track the Japanese army's route and see where they have gone."
The man should have gone out immediately to give orders.
Not long after, the man came back and wanted to report to Li Xiaogong.
After breaking through Li Chongyi's defense line, the Japanese army headed north at full speed.
Their purpose is very clear, it is nothing more than to pick up the defeated Soga Ishikawa group.
After learning about the movements of the Japanese army.
Li Xiaogong did not hesitate and directly led his army to pursue them.
If my son makes a small mistake, the least I can do is give him a good beating.
If my son makes a big mistake, I will blame him for it. This is Li Xiaogong's educational philosophy.
Since these guys sneak attack and defeated his son.
Then he would have to take the brothers below to get this place back.
At the beginning, Li Xiaogong just wanted to go through the motions with Li Chengqian and help Li Chengqian keep an eye on the water supply line behind him.
Then he really wanted to eat all the Japanese soldiers in front of him now.
After all, if you bully your own son, you have to pay the price...
