Chapter 419 Battle of Baekgang (2)

The Japanese army arrived at Baekgang and encountered the Tang army. At Liu Rengui's command, the Tang army deployed for battle.

There was nothing much to say when the two sides met. They just started fighting. They were not here for sightseeing, so there was nothing to talk about.

The Tang army had more than 7,000 navy soldiers and 170 warships, but their shipbuilding technology was far superior to that of Japan. The

warships of the Tang Dynasty had high and strong walls and were well designed. The warships were covered with raw cowhide and had good defensive performance. They had crossbow windows and spear holes, and had the ability to attack and counterattack enemy ships. They were powered by oars and had the performance of fast sailing.

On the other hand, the Japanese navy has more than a thousand warships and tens of thousands of people, but compared with the warships of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese warships are not even on the same level.

In addition to the advantages in warships and numbers, Japan has no other advantages, and is even worse than the Tang army.

"The Tang army's warships are much larger than ours. We can't defeat them with our warships, but fortunately we have more people and several times more warships than the enemy."

"This is our advantage. As long as our army can successfully board the enemy's warships and fight hand-to-hand, we will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army. We must seize these warships." Abebirov looked at the Tang army warships that were waiting in a serious battle, and his saliva almost flowed down.

If they also have such warships in Japan, who can be their opponent? Therefore, he must seize the warships of the Tang army, even if he only gets one warship.

As long as they are sent back to Japan for careful research, they will definitely be able to build ships as huge as those of the Tang army.

"Abe-kun, don't say anything more! We will attack the Tang army immediately." Azumi Hirafu was also very envious of the Tang army's warships.

"Then let's start! Order the vanguard to attack the Tang army navy." Abe Hirafu said.

"Hey!" A samurai responded and immediately conveyed the order to the flag bearer, who then issued the attack order to the vanguard fleet.

After receiving the order from the flag bearer of the flag ship, the Japanese navy vanguard immediately launched an attack on the Tang army. More than 400 Japanese navy warships broke away from the main force and rushed directly to the Tang army.

Liu Rengui was in charge of the central army, while Liu Renyuan and Buyeo Long led the navy in the front. When they saw the Japanese navy coming

, they rushed to kill them. "Get ready!" Liu Renyuan ordered. The Tang army was ready and waited for the Japanese navy to approach before giving them a good show.

"Shoot!" The Japanese navy entered the effective shooting range of the Tang army's bows and crossbows, and the Tang army covered the Japanese navy with a rain of arrows.

Not only were the warships of the Japanese samurai not as powerful as those of the Tang army, but they were also far inferior to the Tang army in terms of weapons.

The armor of the Japanese warriors could not protect them from the Tang army's arrows. Those who were hit by arrows fell down one after another. Most of them were killed before they even got close to the Tang army's warships.

The rain of arrows shot by the Tang army frightened the Japanese warriors so much that they dared not show their heads, but they continued to attack the Tang army.

As long as they got close to the Tang army's warships, they could climb onto the Tang army's warships and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army. The Japanese warriors were not afraid to engage in hand-to-hand combat with anyone.

This was the only way and method for the Japanese warriors to defeat the Tang army.

"Commander-in-chief, the enemy is still attacking our army!" The personal soldiers reported to Liu Renyuan.

"Pass the order down, charge forward and smash the Japanese navy to pieces, so that Japan can see the power of our Tang warships." Liu Renyuan said.

"Yes!" The personal guards took the order and retreated, and passed the order to the flag bearer, who then sent out flag signals to attack the warships.

When the two armies collided, the Japanese navy warships were knocked over by the Tang army warships. As soon as the warships of the two sides came into contact, the Japanese samurai realized how big the gap between the two sides was.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Park Ichida Laijin had to order a retreat. If this continued, they would be wiped out.

Looking at the fleeing Japanese navy, Liu Renyuan did not order a pursuit, but led the army back to hold on.

"Park Ichida Raijin is such a loser! He retreated without even touching the enemy's hair." The Rangers Captain Qin Tian Raijin said dissatisfiedly.

"You can't say that. The warships of the Tang army are beyond our imagination. This is something we did not expect. Park Ichida's failure just helped us find out the strengths and weaknesses of the Tang army." Abehirafu said.

"Then what should we do next?" Azumi Hirafu asked.

"It won't be too late to wait for Park Ichida to come back and ask about the situation before making a decision. It's late today, so we'll fight again tomorrow." Abehirafu said. After

Park Ichida Raijin came back, he was called in front of Abehirafu and others, and Abehirafu asked about the situation of the Tang army.

After learning about the situation of the Tang army, Abehirov decided to make full use of his advantages in the decisive battle tomorrow, relying on the advantages of warships and numbers to fight the Tang army.

The next day, the Japanese navy attacked with all its forces, hoping to defeat the Tang army with its own advantages.

Seeing this, Liu Rengui and others immediately ordered the Tang army to pretend to retreat and lure the Japanese navy into the formation. Then Liu Rengui ordered the left and right to encircle the Japanese navy, so that the Japanese navy warships were crowded together and unable to turn around.

Countless rockets were like meteors, shooting at the Japanese navy from top to bottom. This was the most effective way for the Tang army to deal with the large number of Japanese navy warships.

All the Japanese warships that were hit by arrows were ablaze. The warships were closely connected together. As long as one warship was set on fire, the second warship would inevitably be set on fire.

The Japanese navy was either burned to death or fell into the sea and drowned. Some lucky Japanese warriors climbed onto the Tang warships.

Seeing someone climb onto the Tang warships, the Japanese warriors who were not affected immediately cheered and rejoiced. As long as they defeated the Tang army in hand-to-hand combat, they could completely turn the whole situation around.

Unfortunately, what was waiting for them was not victory, but the Tang army that had been waiting for them. The Tang soldiers chopped them down mercilessly with weapons flashing with terrifying cold light in their hands.

The Japanese warriors were killed in a sudden panic. As the Tang army's formation advanced, the Japanese warriors who boarded the warships were killed one after another.

"We were defeated. If this continues, our entire army will be wiped out. Without these warriors, if the Tang army sends a navy to attack Japan, what can we do to resist?"

"Send the order, raise the white flag, and surrender to the Tang army." Abebirov said helplessly.

"Hey!" The generals were also helpless. They didn't expect the Tang army to be so fierce. Being defeated by the Tang army was irreversible. Surrender was their only way out.

In a short time, the Tang army killed the Japanese navy without leaving a single piece of armor. Seeing that the overall situation was determined, Abehirafu and others had no choice but to ask the Tang army to surrender.

Liu Rengui accepted the surrender of the Japanese navy.
