Chapter 224 The final battle
Time has entered the seventh century AD, and the Japanese country is undergoing a reform, which is the Dahua Reform.
And the Dahua reform touched the interests of some old aristocrats, so the counter-reform faction emerged.
In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Sumakura Yamada Ishikawa, an important fighter in the revolutionary coup and the first right minister of the new regime, was executed by his entire family on suspicion of rebellion. Diplomatically, Baekje, which was oppressed by Silla, came to the emperor's regime for rescue. As a result, the Japanese army sent an army and was defeated by the Tang army Liu Rengui at the mouth of the Baijiang River.
The Tang army destroyed Baekje in one fell swoop. Not only did the Japanese court lose what little prestige it had in Korea, it was also despised by domestic opposition.
In order to restore its dead prestige and solve the internal and external difficulties in one fell swoop, the Japanese court decided to mobilize the whole country to send troops to Korea.
At this time, due to the policy mistakes of the Tang Dynasty's general Xue Wanche on the Korean Peninsula, the people were dissatisfied. The Japanese secretly contributed to the situation, and the Korean Peninsula fell into chaos. The Japanese were able to occupy the homeland of Baekje and march into Silla.
However, with the arrival of Li Zhen, the Japanese army lost the first battle with the Tang army. The Japanese army, who saw the true strength of the main force of the Tang army, immediately retreated to Baijiangkou to set up defenses, preparing for a water battle with the Tang army and defeating the Tang army at the Baijiangkou.
The Japanese nation also knew that this battle was related to the national destiny of the Japanese nation, so Empress Qiming and her eldest brother, the prince, personally led their troops on a cross-sea expedition.
The Japanese army numbered 100,000 and brought a large amount of baggage and weapons and equipment. They knew that the Tang army did not have many naval forces, so they prepared to destroy the Tang army's navy first and then defeat the main land force of the Tang army.
Near the mouth of Baijiang River, the water and sky are the same color.
Li Zhen was sitting on a big boat, feeling very comfortable.
The big ship Li Zhen is on is a system reward. A big ship can hold hundreds of people and is powered by sails. The big ship Li Zhen is on is armed to the teeth, with eight cannons on board.
These eight cannons weigh a thousand kilograms. They are the system reward for Li Zhen¡¯s last mission. They have powerful firepower.
Li Zhen arranged the ships in a wild goose formation, so that the power of the artillery could be fully utilized.
"Report, Your Highness, the Japanese Empress Qi Ming is on the boat in front."
"What?"
Li Zhen's heart moved, and she immediately took the Zeiss telescope and looked into the distance. Sure enough, she saw a big ship not far away. There was a middle-aged woman in Chinese clothes sitting on the bow of the big ship, looking at the flag. The woman should be the Japanese Empress Qi Ming!
Li Zhen was happy when she saw it. She was worried that she couldn't find the Japanese main ship. Now that the Japanese have shown their flag, they would be sorry for themselves if they didn't kill Empress Qi Ming.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen said loudly: "Everyone pay attention, the target is the Japanese command ship, attack!"
"yes!"
Following Li Zhen¡¯s order, more than a hundred large ships began to move forward, constantly approaching the Japanese fleet. Although the Tang army's warships were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity, China's shipbuilding technology during the Sui and Tang Dynasties was still very advanced. The ship walls were high and strong and well-designed. Compared with them, the Japanese warships were relatively backward.
The warships of the Tang army kept approaching the Japanese fleet. Upon seeing this, the Japanese immediately sent more than 300 ships to intercept them.
The fleets of both sides are getting closer and closer.
Li Zhen's ship rushed to the front. Looking at the Japanese warships rushing over in the distance, Li Zhen shouted: "Fire!"
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and a cannon was ejected from the chamber, hitting right next to a Japanese warship, causing a splash of water.
"Damn, the shot missed. Adjust it 5 degrees to the left and fire!" Li Zhen yelled.
"Boom!"
The next moment, a Japanese warship blocking the front was hit by a cannonball in the middle of the hull. A large hole suddenly appeared on the side of the ship. Sea water continued to pour in from the hole, and the Japanese warship slowly sank into the surge.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Tang army¡¯s artillery shells continued to fall on the Japanese ships, sinking the Japanese ships blocking the front one after another.
The main force of the Tang warships was getting closer and closer to the Japanese ships, and finally reached the front.
"Fire the arrow!"
Wang Fangyi beside him roared, and the next moment, countless rockets rained down on the Japanese military ship.
The rockets of the Tang army encountered the Japanese warships, and with the help of the wind, they burned more and more fiercely. One Japanese warship was burned one after another.
The ship where Queen Qi Ming was on was also burned. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. After a while, the ship where Queen Qi Ming was on was burned to ashes.A big fireball.
"Boom!"
The cannon of Li Zhen's ship accurately hit the ship of Queen Qi Ming, and the ship of Queen Qi Ming burst into pieces.
Queen Qiming screamed, fell into the water, and kept flopping.
Brother Zhong was just about to ask someone to salvage Emperor Qiming, but his confidant Nakamatsu Kamezu stopped him.
Brother Nakatomi instantly understood what Nakatomi Kamazu meant.
If Queen Qiming dies, Brother Zhong will be the ruler of the Japanese country. This is his best chance.
"Quickly leave!" Nakatomi Kazuzu grabbed the eldest brother and got on the boat without paying attention to Queen Qiming.
"After a while, Empress Qi Ming had sunk to the bottom of the water, and Brother Zhong went ashore with his boat. He saw a sea of ??fire at the mouth of Baijiang River, and nearly a thousand Japanese warships were almost all burned. Brother Zhong couldn't help but burst into tears.
This situation is very similar to two years ago. Two years ago, the 40,000 Japanese army was burned to pieces by Liu Rengui, the Tang army.
Now, the tens of thousands of Japanese naval forces were once again defeated by the Tang army's attack.
Nakatomi Kamatatsu said: "Your Highness, the Queen's life and death are unknown. You are now the commander-in-chief of our Japanese country. Although we failed on the water, we still have tens of thousands of troops, and we may not be the opponent of the Tang army."
Two consecutive defeats at the hands of the Tang army's navy made all the Japanese people realize that the Japanese were no match for the Tang army in a water battle. In this case, let's fight on land. As long as the Tang army can be defeated on land, Baekje can be saved. It is even possible to capture Silla and Goguryeo.
At this moment, Brother Zhong immediately took over the command of Queen Qi Ming, gathered the remaining defeated generals, and prepared to fight the Tang army to the end.
At dusk, the second Battle of Baijiangkou finally ended. Most of the tens of thousands of Japanese naval forces were lost, and thousands of warships were almost completely destroyed.
The remaining Japanese troops landed one after another, and under the command of the prince, the eldest brother of Zhong, began to gather to prepare for a land battle with the Tang army.
Seeing that the water battle was a complete victory, Li Zhen was very happy and ordered Wang Fangyi to lead the fleet to blockade the Baijiang estuary to prevent a grain of food from being left among the Japanese army.
At the same time, Li Zhen also commanded an army of 200,000, preparing to launch an all-out attack on the Japanese army gathered in Zhouliu City near Baijiangkou!
In Zhouliucheng, Brother Zhong led 70,000 Japanese troops and a patchwork of 30,000 Baekje troops, totaling 100,000 men to defend the city.
Outside the city, Li Zhen's 200,000 troops surrounded Zhouliu City, waiting for the final attack. The war was about to break out!
