Chapter 1798 Capturing an enemy ship by chance

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Huang Mingjun was fully prepared for the decisive battle with Baekje and the Japanese navy.  This naval battle, which changed the situation of the entire Lelang Peninsula, was bound to be huge in scale and cause heavy casualties, and would even cause the entire fleet to be broken.

    But Huang Mingjun really didn¡¯t expect that when he approached the port of Xekou, he would find that the Japanese navy was not at home.

    He is really not at home.

    After investigation by sentinels, it was found that the Japanese had more than 200 warships of various types parked in the port, but only less than 2,000 troops were stationed there.  These ships were parked empty in the port, arranged neatly, and many of them had no one on board.  As for the two thousand garrison, they are just a group of sailors to maintain the navigation of ships, and they do not have much combat power.

    The Ministry of Environment led the main force to attack the west gate of Songyue City. We can't drag all the warships to the Licheng River for display.

    Considering that the Japanese-Baekje coalition had already controlled the sea on the west coast of the Lelang Peninsula since the Battle of Xinshuihekou, the ministers stationed soldiers and ships separately.  Although he only stationed more than 2,000 sailors on Anakou Island, he was not worried about the safety of the fleet.

    The minister of the Ministry of Environment was a famous general of the Japanese country. He was worshiped as a general. In the 20th year of Kaihuang's reign, he crossed the sea and attacked Silla. He conquered five cities of Silla and ceded six cities of Silla. He gained a great reputation.

    But this time the Minister of the Ministry of Environment made a mistake in his calculations.

    Although the Sui navy was not much stronger than the Japanese, Huang Mingyuan had his own private fleet, which surpassed the entire era.  Therefore, the sea control on the west coast of Lelang Peninsula changed hands and fell into the hands of the Sui army after Huang Mingjun arrived.

    The Sui army went south along the outer sea west of the coastline, passed the patrol of Baekje Navy, and reached the west of Ankou Island.

    Huang Mingjun was planning to repeat his old plan, like attacking Changgang, using his superior strength to launch a surprise attack, seizing the opponent's central army with thunderous momentum, and destroying the enemy's combat power before the opponent could react.

    However, it was later discovered that such a fight was not realistic.

    Huang Mingjun doesn¡¯t understand the situation on Xuekou Island, but there are still people in the military who do.

    Xuekou Port is at the northeast corner of Xuekou Island. Although the mouth of the Han River is wide, it is still some distance away from Xuekou Port.  The port of Xekou is not big, and the river is somewhat tortuous.  Moreover, there are two alluvial islands outside the mouth of the Han River. The Baekje people have checkpoints on them. It is not easy for a large fleet to pass smoothly without being discovered by the other party.

    Once the raid is discovered by the enemy, the fleet will be easily damaged in the twists and turns of the harbor.  So after Huang Mingjun learned about the situation at Anakou Port, he immediately gave up the idea of ????a raid.

    How to defeat the enemy is a difficult task.

    At this time, Zhang Changxun suggested whether it was possible to land on Xuekou Island and then raid Xuekou Port from the land route.  During the Northern Expedition of Duke Wei, he divided his troops from Yudujin Mountain and detoured behind the Turkic tent to encircle the opponent.

    Huang Mingjun thought about it and felt that it was a little impossible.

    According to what everyone just described, there are not many places where you can land on Anakou Island.  If the Sui army wanted to sneak across, in order not to be discovered, they had to choose several directions such as the southwest and south.  The southwest and south sides are all mountainous, and large ships cannot approach, so soldiers had to be transported in small boats.  The Anakou Island itself is long and narrow from north to south. After everyone landed, they had to run for more than 40 miles to raid the port. The danger of exposure was too great and the test for the soldiers was also too great.

    Zhang Changxun didn¡¯t care.

    As long as it is possible to achieve, we must work hard to complete it.  If the risk of exposure is too great, then use fewer soldiers.

    Huang Mingjun feels that there are too few troops and the possibility of success is even smaller.

    Zhang Changxun said: "Duke Wei sent Marquis Dingtao and me to raid the main force of the Eastern Turks. At that time, our army only had more than a thousand people. How can the Baekje people now number 100,000?"

    So Zhang Changxun selected 1,500 elite soldiers from the army and personally led the raid.

    At the first watch, everyone moved from the big ships to the fire boats. Each boat carried thirty people, and there were fifty ships in total. They set out from a place more than fifty miles southeast of Xuekou Island and headed straight for Xuekou Island.

    About five miles away from Xuekou Island, Zhang Changxun ordered the boats to stop and swim across the river.  At this time, Baekje patrol boats often appear. Although the fire boats are small, they are easily exposed.

    After everyone obeyed the order, they took off their armor and jumped into the water holding only single swords or short spears.  Because many bows and arrows are made of glue and are afraid of water, people don't even carry bows and arrows.

    "Brothers, in ancient times Ding Feng fought with short soldiers in the snow. Today we also hold short soldiers and wade through the water to defeat thieves!"

    Everyone was so excited that they swam to the river bank.  The distance of five miles is not short, but the navy athletes fought bravely and reached the shore quickly without fear of life or death.

    Zhang Changxun was from Guanzhong and served as a general in Jiuyuan. He turned out to be a landlubber.  However, he has been a governor of Donglai County for many years and has become a good player in the water.

    After everyone came ashore, Zhang Changxun did not bother to order troops.Then he said again: "Brothers, I have the honor to train with Wei Gong. Wei Gong once said, 'Gold and silver plates are not as good as our feet.' As soldiers, the first thing is to be able to run."

    From here to Xekou Port, it is forty miles, half of which is mountainous, with no roads at all, but the brothers must all reach Xekou Port within an hour and a half.  "

    "kill!"

    "kill!"

    So Zhang Changxun took the lead, and everyone let go and rushed towards Xukou Port.

    In the first half of the mountain road, everyone climbed over the mountains and ridges at night and could not find a way, so they had to cut through thorns and thorns to find a way.  In the second half of the journey, the road was easy to walk, but we had to avoid the Baekje people and sneak around.

    So there were people falling behind from time to time along the way, but the team moved forward desperately.  It's almost five o'clock, and Anakou City and Anokou Port are finally in sight.

    Zhang Changxun left Xukou City alone and sent people straight to Xukou Port.

    The officers and soldiers of the Sui army ran almost as fast as they could. They fought all the way to Xekou Port. Zhang Changxun ordered his troops to attack and sent his men to burn the ships.

    But at this time, the port, with countless warships moored, was quiet.  Except for some night watchmen, there are no other Japanese in Hong Kong.

    It turns out that this day (April 30th) is the birthday of Emperor Minda of Japan and the day he ascended the throne. The Japanese people gathered in Anakou Castle to celebrate.

    Emperor Minda is the elder brother and husband of the current Japanese Emperor Suiko. Although he has passed away, his status is respected and his birthday is also a legal holiday.

    In order to show their friendship to the Japanese people, the Baekje people invited them to enter Anokou Castle to celebrate the Wanshou Festival, and the Anokou Port became an airport.

    Zhang Changxun rushed into the harbor. Seeing that there was no one there, he was surprised, and then he was happy.  Regardless of the reason why the Japanese were absent, these ships were all their prisoners.  So Zhang Changxun sent someone back the same way to report the news to Huang Mingjun.  And he ordered everyone to board the Japanese ships and break out.

    Without their warships, the Japanese are like tigers without their claws and claws.

    Because Zhang Changxun had few people, he had no choice but to leave in a large warship. However, some small boats and fire ships were directly set alight by Zhang Changxun's order because they were unmanned.

    A fire broke out at Anakou Port, extinguishing the last possibility of victory for the Baekje Japanese coalition.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
