However, Wu Siyuan frowned and silently looked at the sea area surrounding the Baekje Peninsula on the map without saying a word.
His eyes slowly moved westward, falling on the huge empire to the west.
If the Japanese pirates want to invade Yunchui, it can be said that there are only two ways.
One is to drive the warship to the east bank of Yunchui and log in directly.
The second is to pass through the Baekje Peninsula first, and then pass through the North Customs Sea.
Baekje Peninsula!
Wu Siyuan's eyes slowly returned to the east bank in front of him.
The map was as rough as ever, with just a few curves drawn on the huge east coast plain.
There is a long coastline that runs from east to west, and across the middle from north to south is the Yuanning Mountains at your feet. The rest are the large and small rivers that nourish the entire east coast.
The map was silent, but Wu Siyuan seemed to see a raging fire burning on the east bank.
After the wars of the past few years, although the Japanese pirate navy is still there, it can be said that it has lost its main force.
Ishikawa Taki of the Sishan Islands has been unable to attack Jinlongtan and lost countless men and horses;
Doi Yongren led the team to board the Dinghai Pier, but the entire army was wiped out.
Masato Nei was very successful and captured Beihaiguan in one fell swoop, but in the end he was trapped inside and unable to move.
It can be said that the number of Japanese pirates in Sishan Islands is seriously insufficient today.
As for the east coast in front of me.
Last year, in order to protect the three food islands, the Japanese navy went out in full force.
As a result, their skills were inferior to others, and after several battles, a large number of warships were sent to the bottom of the sea one by one by the East China Sea barrier.
Today, Ukawa Taishi not only has to protect the east coast and the three food islands, but also sends ships back to the mainland to pick up people, and he has very few warships left.
Even three young generals, Li Hebai, Lu Ping'an and Wan Shilei, dared to take their fleets to the east coast to show off their power, and even fought vigorously.
"General," a military advisor said in the silence while looking at the east coast, "General Ren has confirmed the identity of the Yunchui royal family, but he has chosen to lead the troops to the battlefield in person. What is his goal?"
Wu Siyuan looked back at the military advisor who spoke expressionlessly, and slowly uttered a sentence.
"Destroy the Japanese pirates' shipbuilding base and kill their shipbuilding craftsmen and apprentices."
Without the shipbuilding base, especially the craftsmen who are proficient in shipbuilding technology, the Japanese pirates would not be able to build another decent warship within ten years, no matter how much wood they cut.
And without enough warships, the threat of Japanese pirates to the Yunchui mainland no longer exists, leaving them and the Baekje people to consume each other on the peninsula.
Wu Siyuan came back to his senses, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"No wonder the general warned us when we were in the capital, Baekje is our Baekje..."
As he spoke, his eyes fell to the far south outside the map.
When the Xingluo Army was in Guangxin, Wei Junqian's entangled troops could clearly destroy the entire Nanfeng territory in one fell swoop like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
However, after capturing the capital of Nanfeng, Wei Junqian stopped the offensive, and then collectively withdrew to the mainland, even leaving behind a prince who had fled to the south to "check the fish tax", and let him and Wanxiang Baoxiang
Wait for the neighboring small countries to continue fighting.
Now it's finally Baekje's turn.
"General," the little military advisor reacted, and suddenly became a little angry, "Don't the people in Yunchui always say that they will do good things to the end and send Buddhas to the west? How could they do this?"
well.
Wu Siyuan let out a long sigh.
Snapped.
One of the military advisors was restless and hit his right palm hard with his left fist.
"General, Yun Chui's Emperor Changxing's time is short, and General Ren already has the military, power and people's hearts, and he is very likely to be able to sit in that position in the future. Now that Xing Luo has decided to withdraw to the mainland, Xiao Zheng's Japanese army will also
I will definitely leave with you.”
"What will we do then?"
"That's right." Only then did the others react, looking at the general in the middle with confusion.
Without the Starfall Legion, they would be stretched thin just to guard the Yuanning Mountains at their feet.
As soon as Xiao Zheng's Japanese troops left, the Jinlongtan in the middle became even more empty.
By then they will definitely be at their wits end.
In addition, although Baekje is a poor country with few soldiers, there are still quite a few high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital who are always on guard against Wu Siyuan.
If you think about it carefully, you are really surrounded by enemies on all sides.
hehe.
"what to do?"
Wu Siyuan smiled slightly, his expression unchanged at all.
"As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there must be a natural road from the bow bridge. The most important thing right now is that while the Starfall Army is still there, the Kudo Naoto on the east coast will use the rat weapon. We will increase the intensity of the attack and attack as many people as possible.
Destroy some Japanese pirate troops..."
As for the rest, just take it one step at a time.
"Indeed it should be so." The military advisors nodded in agreement.
"Where are the messengers? Where are the messengers? Immediately give orders to the generals to increase the intensity of the attack. Whatever is lacking on the front line, make up for it. We must break through the defense line of Yuanning Pass as soon as possible."
Wu Siyuan listened as if he didn't hear it, and didn't even turn around.
"Come here, send a letter to General Ren."
east coast.
The sun was shining brightly, but the continuous fire behind Ren Ning was more dazzling and hot than the sun in the sky.
"It's such a big fire. Those base factories and so on should be almost burned out."
"How long! How long will it take for such a big place and so much material to be burned out in just a day or two?"
Tap tap tap.
A horse galloped over.
"General, another team of more than 5,000 people has just arrived from the northeast. It seems that most of them are here to put out the fire. However, the brothers defeated them again without much effort."
hey-hey.
Lei Er next to him still had a murderous look on his body.
While holding up the telescope and looking around, he freed up a bloody hand and threw a few broad beans into his mouth.
"General, the Japanese pirates have no horses, and the news is very difficult. I guess Kudo Naoto doesn't know where our main force is, so he has been sending people here to put out the fire."
Ren Ning nodded and turned to look northwest.
"What about the situation in the first to third battalions?"
"Back to the general, Liang Qianchang and the others stopped immediately after receiving the news. As expected, the Japanese pirates at Yuanning Pass sent more than 10,000 troops to stop them. In addition, Naoto Kudo also sent out a large army, but their target is temporarily unknown."
Ren Ning looked down at the map, then looked back at the fire behind him.
"Keep an eye on the movements of all parties and report back at any time without omissions."
"yes!"
As soon as the last messenger left, Wu Siyuan's message came over.
Lei Er was a little confused, "General, what does Wu Siyuan mean?"
There is only one sentence on the letter without beginning or end.
Is the general short of troops?
cut!
Lei Er twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain.
"What's going on with Wu Siyuan? We can free up manpower to go to Yuanning Pass, but he still has the nerve to ask us if we are short of troops?"
Ren Ning smiled slightly and turned to look at the messenger.
"Reply the message to General Wu with one word: Missing!"
"Yes!" The messenger left in a hurry.
Huh.
Lei Er was even more confused.
This time when they arrived in the east of Baekje, they had a total of 12,000 troops. In addition to the more than 9,000 troops currently galloping on the east coast plains, there were more than 2,000 troops guarding the base camp in Daesun Valley.
In terms of numbers, nine thousand is indeed not many, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they are not weak.
hehe.
Ren Ning smiled slightly.
"Wu Siyuan is not asking about the military strength in front of him, he is asking about his own future."
