Chapter 774 Victory
"Help me."
Those Fusang soldiers finally came back to their senses, looking at the smashed and bloody comrades, many of them dropped their weapons and ran towards the cabin.
There were three ships that were smashed through the deck, and the cabins were flooded. It didn't take long for them to sink into the water slowly.
"Damn it, what the hell is this?" Oda Ichiro cursed with an ugly face.
"General, we must speed up and get close to each other, or retreat quickly, otherwise, many warships will be sunk if this continues." Hidenoria Matsubara quickly reminded.
Oda Ichiro was a little hesitant. He was already a little scared by Tang Jun's catapult, but he was unwilling to retreat like this.
"Send the order, speed up, get close to the opponent, and shoot arrows at the same time to interfere with the opponent." Oda Ichiro gritted his teeth and ordered.
Following Oda Ichiro's order, Fuso's warship quickly approached Datang's warship, and at the same time arrows shot all over the sky towards Datang's warship.
However, Datang's warships were very tall, and Fusang's bows and arrows could only hit the ship's boards, and none of them caused much damage to the soldiers of Datang.
Without Liu Rengui's order, the officers on the warship also knew to order to shoot arrows at the opponent to counterattack.
The condescending Fusang people had nowhere to hide, and the archers outside the cabin suffered huge losses from the bows and arrows of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
The corner of Oda Ichiro's mouth twitched, but he did not order to retreat. After two rounds of arrows, Fuso's warship finally approached Datang's warship.
Seeing this scene, Liu Rengui said coldly, "Put the pole on!"
The clapper is a large-scale water warfare tool, and it is a weapon that uses the kinetic energy obtained when heavy objects fall from a high place to smash enemy boats close to one's own warship.
The invention of the pole was inspired by the trebuchet.
The trebuchet throws stones, while the clap rod is equipped with a boulder at one end, which is dropped from a high place, and its impact is more powerful than the trebuchet.
Fusang's soldiers were just about to attack Datang's warship with planks, and the pole on the Datang's warship shot down at Fusang's warship.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise when the stick hit Fusang's warship.
A warship of Fusang was hit by three poles. Although it was not crushed, it was directly overturned by the huge impact.
Fusang lost dozens of warships in just one round of shooting.
Hidenoria Matsubara's face was pale, and he said: "General, we are not the opponent of Datang at all, we should quickly order to retreat."
Just the trebuchets and poles have broken the fighting spirit of the Fuso people.
Oda Ichiro came back to his senses, and quickly said: "Quick retreat!"
The soldiers on the Datang warship quickly pulled up their shooting poles, fixed them, and started shooting again.
After two rounds of shooting, Fusang lost nearly a hundred warships. At this moment, the order to retreat came, and Fusang's remaining warships quickly turned their bows and retreated.
As soon as Datang's warship wanted to pursue, Liu Rengui ordered not to pursue.
It's not that Liu Rengui doesn't want to pursue, but he understands that the opponent's boat is smaller and much faster than his own, so even if he wants to chase, he can't catch up.
Liu Rengui ordered to clean up the battlefield.
The Fusang people retreated in a hurry, and they didn't care about the soldiers on the destroyed warships. They were all captured by Datang.
From the mouth of the captives, Liu Rengui knew that the fleet for this sneak attack was sent by Fusang.
After cleaning the battlefield, the fleet of the Fusang people had already disappeared. Liu Rengui was not at ease, and sent scouts to prevent the Fusang people from making a comeback before ordering the fleet to go back.
After landing, Liu Rengui ordered people to pick out some officers from the captives, wrote a memorial, and ordered people to send the memorial and the prisoners to Chang'an.
……
Lin Xuan didn't know that there was a naval battle between Datang and Fusang, and he was training soldiers every day.
After some consideration, Cheng Yaojin asked Lin Xuan to lead the infantry in the infantry camp. Not only that, he also ordered Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin as lieutenants.
The Xiaoyongwei is temporarily led by Xue Rengui.
Cheng Yaojin made this decision because Lin Xuan invented the Zhuge Liannu, including the tactics of battle. No one knows it better than him.
Whether the infantry can hold it is related to the victory of the whole war, and Cheng Yaojin has to be cautious.
Shaboluo led the troops to stop fifty miles away from Cheng Yaojin's camp.
After setting up camp, Shaboluo summoned his generals and heads of various ministries to discuss matters.
"Everyone, the scouts are here to report that the Tang army is camping fifty miles away. The cavalry and infantry are divided into two camps. Do you think we should attack the infantry camp or the cavalry camp first?" Shabolo said, looking at the crowd.
"Jin Jin, I think the cavalry should be attacked first. As long as the cavalry can be destroyed, the infantry is nothing to be afraid of." A tribal leader said.
"Jinjin, I think the infantry should be eliminated first. If the infantry is eliminated first, the Tang cavalry will be terrified and have no fighting spirit. In this way, a lot of losses can be reduced." Another tribal leader raised a different opinion.
Shaboluo's heart moved, strength represented everything in the grassland, he was powerful enough to have his current position, if he lost too much in order to deal with Datang, it would not be a good thing for him.
"I have decided to destroy the Tang's infantry first, and then deal with the cavalry. I will rest for one night today and launch an attack tomorrow morning. At that time, I will lead my troops to attack the infantry camp. Together, you will prevent the Tang's cavalry." Sha Bo Luo said.
The cavalry has an advantage over the infantry, and he has 5 people, while the opponent has only 1 people. Naturally, he will not give up such a good thing to others.
You know, Han Chinese slaves are very popular in Turkic.
"Yes."
"Han people like sneak attacks the most, so we must pay attention to defense at night." Shaboluo explained.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin also received the news of the arrival of the [-] Turkic army.
When he learned that the [-] Western Turkic army was camping fifty miles away, Cheng Yaojin also considered the possibility of a surprise attack.
After hesitating for a while, Cheng Yaojin still gave up the plan of sneak attack.
The sneak attack is nothing more than to make the Turkic people mess up and disturb the opponent's military spirit, and it can't cause much loss to the opponent.
After the opponent's sneak attack, he will be more cautious in dealing with Datang.
On the contrary, if there is no sneak attack, the opponent may think that their own side is afraid of them and does not have the courage to fight them, so it is likely to be more careless.
Early the next morning, after dinner, the Turkic people broke out and came towards Datang's barracks.
Once there are more than [-] people, there will be a sea of people.
What's more, it's [-], and it's still cavalry, with no end in sight, which puts a lot of pressure on people.
Lin Xuan felt that the soldiers around him were breathing heavily, but he didn't say anything.
The Turkic people were divided into two groups a few miles away from the big camp, one went to the north camp, and the other rushed to the south camp.
The charge of [-] cavalry was deafening. Many veterans couldn't help turning pale and holding the weapons in their hands tightly. Only in this way could they feel a sense of security.
Although Sabolo looked down on the infantry, he did not attack directly, but surrounded the entire camp and kept shooting.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all experienced veterans, and they didn't need to command at all. The soldiers in the front row raised their shields and blocked a large number of arrows.
Even so, many soldiers were shot by arrows.
"Ah~"
Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to expose his hole cards, but ordered the archers to counterattack with bows and arrows.
