Golden Dragon Beach.
Lu Fuhai paced back and forth anxiously.
After the sneak attack was successful, Ishikawa Taki led the fleet and returned, and the dock finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the time has entered August, and the imperial envoy is rushing towards Jinlongtan step by step. However, no matter how much Xiao Zheng inquired, Chen Xiuzhu seemed to disappear out of thin air, and there was still no news at all.
This made Lu Fuhai always restless.
"General, why don't you ask King Baekje to help find him?"
After all, this is the territory of Baekje people. Both Chen Xiuzhu and Xiao Zheng are outsiders. They don't understand the language and are not familiar with the place, so there is no way to find them.
It might be easier if King Baekje takes action.
"This..." Lu Fuhai hesitated.
"General," the military advisors said, "if you delay for one more day, Your Highness will be in greater danger. And the imperial envoy will arrive at Jinlongtan in less than three days. This matter can no longer be saved."
well.
Lu Fuhai closed his eyes with difficulty.
He didn't know this fact, but he still had some luck.
Maybe Xiao Zheng will have good news in these three days?
The military advisor and the lieutenants tried to persuade him a few more times, but the general still remained silent. They had no choice but to give up.
Another half day passed while going round and round.
Report!
The messenger on the other side of the dock couldn't find the general in the Chinese army, so he turned around and hurried to Jinlongtan.
"Emergency news from Baekje East Coast."
Lu Fuhai took it over and glanced at it quickly, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
Ha ha.
He laughed and picked up the helmet lying next to him. The anxiety and irritability of the whole person were swept away. The domineering and heroic spirit of the naval commander returned to him again.
"This general orders that all intact warships immediately prepare for war. We will go to sea early tomorrow morning and target the three food islands of the Japanese pirates."
The lieutenants and military advisors were stunned and quickly took the news and looked at it carefully.
They quickly understood what Lu Fuhai was thinking.
At this time, the East China Sea Barrier attacked the Japanese pirate fleet guarding the food island and destroyed the food on the island. It could not only make up for the mistake, but also leave the mess of Chen Xiuzhu's disappearance to Xiao Zheng, allowing him to deal with the imperial envoy's questioning.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
only……
"General, many of our warships have not been fully repaired, and craftsmen of various crossbows and gunpowder are still working overtime to build them. It will take some time to replenish them. Going to sea to fight at this time may not be good for us."
"Hard to us?" Lu Fuhai snorted coldly, "Didn't you see any news about General Ren?"
"The east coast of Baekje has been completely wiped out by floods. Kudang Naoto's situation is a hundred times more difficult than ours. Are their ships made of iron? Aren't they rushing out to protect the three food islands? Around?"
"But..." Even so, the military advisors still subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"It's nothing," Lu Fuhai turned around and looked out, "We have lost more than 80 battle camp-class ships. There are some gaps in combat power, but the Jade Dragon Fleet just makes up for it."
Although the Jade Dragon Fleet only has fifty ships, there are two general-class ships in it. Calculated, it's not that far apart.
"Come here," he said without hesitation: "Go and notify General Lu immediately. Tomorrow morning the entire Jade Dragon Fleet will go east together."
To the west of Jinlong Beach, the Jade Dragon Fleet.
Lu Yulong quickly accepted Lu Fuhai's order.
He frowned and turned to ask his personal guard, "Is there any news about Yuan'an and Xiangyang?"
When Ishikawa Taki took the lead in retreating after the sneak attack on Jinlongtan Pier, Lu Yulong sent the two ships to follow them from a distance, trying to find their anchorage.
Now that so many days have passed, it is time for the two ships to return.
"Back to General, the sea in the south is calm, and there are no shadows of Yuan'an and Xiangyang for the time being."
Lu Yulong's brows deepened.
"With the food and fresh water reserves of Yuan'an and Xiangyang, how much will be left?"
"Return to the general, if the battleship does not fight or other accidents occur, the food and fresh water on the ship should be able to last for two days."
If there's a storm or a fight, it's hard to tell.
Lu Yulong nodded, turned around and walked to the map.
The military advisors knew what he meant, and immediately used compasses to mark the range within which Yuan'an and Xiangyang could sail.
hey-hey.
Someone suddenly joked, "These two boats are heading south. They won't go back to their hometown in Pinghai County to visit relatives."
Ha ha.
As soon as these words came out, the entire war room burst into laughter.
However, Lu Yulong's heart skipped a beat.
Pinghai County is located in the middle of Yunchui, very far away from Baekje, and of course it cannot be drawn by the circle on the map.
However, many places in the north, such as Jiuyuan County, are still included in part.
————
On the east coast of Baekje, Jiudang Camp.
The torrential floods have receded, revealing long-lost land.
There was nothing but garbage on the ground, and there was thick mud, making it impossible to stay.
A powerful shout came from somewhere.
"Dear elders and fellow villagers, it's just a flood, nothing compared to the volcano erupting in my hometown. God cannot scare us Yamato nation."
“Everyone works hard and strives to clear out the fields within three days, and then plant all the crops...”
Kudo Naoto listened for a few times and continued to inspect aimlessly with his soldiers.
Report!
Some soldiers rushed over.
"General, Wu Siyuan led by General Okudera to attack the post road was blocked. I don't know where the Baekje people got the news or they wanted to step on us while we were suffering from the flood."
"Now the two armies are fighting at an even level at Yuanning Pass."
"It's about the same," Naoto Kudo pondered, "How many people did they come?"
cough!
Xiao Bing coughed lightly, and seeing that he couldn't hide it, he had to report the truth.
"Baekje's leading general is Jiang Xuesong, and his number is twice that of General Okudera."
The guards became anxious upon hearing this and quickly suggested: "General, Jiang Xuesong is Wu Siyuan's right-hand man and one of the most capable generals in Baekje. Should we send someone to support General Okudera?"
Kudo Naoto remained silent, as if he didn't hear him at all.
He bent down, grabbed a handful of mud, and looked at it silently.
Their homeland is just a few small islands. A volcano erupted in the middle of the country, and the country was destroyed.
After finally arriving at the Baekje peninsula, I thought I could recuperate here as long as I defeated the Baekje people.
However, Baekje's generals stood up one after another. Conquering this place was not as easy as imagined.
This was nothing, but a sudden storm suddenly destroyed everyone's hopes in an instant.
Wow.
Kudo Naoto threw away the mud on his hands.
Someone had loudly encouraged the people before, and the voice of asking the people to work hard could still be heard.
But Kudo Naoto knew very well that even the caller probably didn't have much confidence in his heart. He didn't know whether a new storm or other natural disaster would hit tomorrow and destroy all their hard work in the blink of an eye.
After all, both Yamato and the Baekje Peninsula are too small. A natural disaster can cover the entire country, leaving the people with nowhere to escape.
Kudo Naoto raised his head and looked to the west in the distance.
There is a country with vast territory and abundant resources. No matter what kind of natural disaster it is, it can easily withstand it. It is the most ideal home.
"According to the general's order, Ishikawa Taki will lead the fleet to the west today and land on the mainland of Yunzui."
laugh.
The guards were shocked.
"General, General Tokugawa wants us to establish a foothold in Baekje first, and then plan for it slowly. Is it too reluctant to attack Yunchui at this time?"
Kudo Naoto said nothing, just waved his hand, "Give me the order."
The East China Sea Barrier has reached Baekje and destroyed so many ships. It is estimated that Emperor Changxing will have Lu Fuhai operated on soon. This is the most chaotic moment for the East China Sea Barrier.
It can be said that there is no coastal defense along the Yunchui coast.
The major border legions are either in Baekje or Dingxi County. The only one that can rush over is the central legion guarding Xingji City.
But the generals of the Central Army are all wealthy young men from Xingji City. They know nothing but flattery, so there is no need to worry at all.
At the same time, August and golden autumn are a good season, and Yunchui people are preparing to harvest. As long as you get ashore, you won't have to worry about having nothing to eat.
When Xingji City reacts and dispatches other capable troops to encircle and suppress them, it will be late autumn or even winter, when the clouds will be heavy and snow will block the mountains and it will be difficult to move.
Ishikawa Taki had just enough time to build the front fortress in preparation for receiving more Yamato troops and people in the coming year.
First latest.
