Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Originally, Zhang Shun thought that with the strength he had shown and after hearing that he was the deputy commander, the generals leading the team would simply surrender.

Unexpectedly, the general was a loyal supporter of the empress Chu Xin. After learning that Zhang Shun had surrendered to the enemy, he pretended to surrender.

Then when he sent troops to take over the fleet, he directly ordered the soldiers on the ship to detonate the ammunition depots on each ship, sending the entire fleet, as well as the soldiers sent by Zhang Shun to take over, into the sky.

Seeing the entire fleet turn into piles of debris floating in the sea in front of him, Zhang Shun felt as if he had eaten tons of dead flies. He was so disgusted.

However, things don't end here.

The explosion here quickly attracted the attention of Dengzhou City.

When the governor of Dengzhou heard that Chu Hua's fleet had disappeared inexplicably, that the fleets sent out to search had also lost contact one after another, and that there were huge explosions and large plumes of smoke at sea, he immediately ordered people to light beacons and send fire to the surrounding areas. Pass on information and ask for support.

When he thought about it, there should be no one except the powerful pirate fleet that appeared recently, who could directly destroy Chu Hua and prevent him from even sending people back to report.

I had heard news from everywhere before, saying that the pirate fleet had been intruding all along the coast.

However, because various places had been prepared, the pirates saw that the situation was not good and evacuated on their own initiative.

Now it seems that although the other party has spared other cities, it has set its sights on Dengzhou, a major empire manufacturing town.

Thinking that the other party had destroyed two of his fleets in a row, the Dengzhou governor's face turned a little blue.

Her Majesty the Empress has been committed to developing maritime power over the years, in an attempt to break through the Tang Dynasty from the coastal defense line, and then defeat it in one fell swoop.

Now the plan has just begun to improve, and the construction of the navy has just been on track, but it has suffered a blow here.

If Her Majesty the Empress were to blame him, then her future future would probably be ruined.

Thinking of the anger of Her Majesty the Empress, the governor of Dengzhou couldn't help but shuddered, and then immediately ordered all the maritime forces outside Dengzhou City to be gathered together.

Prepare to wait until reinforcements arrive from various places, and then directly wipe out this group of pirates.

Soon, large plumes of smoke were ignited on beacon towers everywhere.

Zhang Shun and the warrior Xun, who were depressed, also received news about the smoke ignited in Dengzhou City.

However, neither of them took it to heart. Instead, they followed Chu Mo's previous deployment and started planning to go to Yangzhou and block the sea area.

At the same time, Li Junxian, who was ordered to attack Goguryeo, waited for the agreed time and immediately ordered the army to set off, preparing to cross the Datong River and march towards Pyongyang.

Yeon Gaesumun had already made preparations to send troops before he killed the envoy sent by Li Junxian, and now he also stationed troops on the other side of the Datong River.

Now seeing that the other side actually launched the attack first, he immediately sneered again and again, and directly ordered the artillery just purchased from Datang to be pulled up, hoping to wipe out all Li Junxian's army in the Datong River.

Both sides deployed troops on both sides of the Datong River at the same time. When the battle was about to break out, Li Junxian suddenly received news from Chu Mo.

When he saw that the other party needed two days to arrive because he was lost, Li Junxian's face twitched with anger and he stared at the letter in his hand, wishing that he could be regarded as the captain leading the team and cut into pieces. part.

However, all the generals around him are still looking at him. If he loses his composure at this time, it will definitely affect the morale of the army.

Thinking of this, he glanced at another piece of information on the letter, coughed, and said to the generals around him:

"My Lord encountered an attack by the Great Zhou Navy in Dengzhou. Now they have been completely defeated. However, it will take a little time. It is estimated that it will take another two days to bring the troops to join us."

After hearing Li Junxian's words, the generals below immediately started whispering.

At this time, one of the generals asked:

"General, what were the casualties in the battle with the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Will it affect this war?"

Li Junxian shook his head:

"My lord, this time we wiped out hundreds of enemy warships, many of which were four-story ships. However, there was no damage to ourselves. You don't have to worry."

When the generals heard this, they immediately felt relieved.

"General, isn't your lord coming to make peace with us? Why is there a conflict with the Dengzhou Navy? In addition, Dengzhou is not close to the peninsula. How did your lord get there?"

A guerrilla general spoke and asked the doubts in his heart.

However, as soon as these words came out, the generals around me all turned their faces away, pretending that I was not familiar with this kid.

And Li Junxian's old face turned red.

Although he was not the one who did such a shameful thing, it was his lord who did it. What could he do?

Taking a deep breath, Li Junxian looked up and down at this ignorant guerrilla general and said:

"Were you asking me about the Lord's movements just now?"

The guerrilla general was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Yes, General, I am very curious about how the Lord and the others got along with the Dengzhou Navy..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Junxian slammed the table, stood up and shouted:

"How presumptuous! You and I can inquire about the Lord's whereabouts at will."

"Since this is your first offense, I will not pursue it too seriously. I will fine you 30 military sticks."

After saying that, the guerrilla general was pulled down without waiting for him to complain.

The generals around seemed to have expected this, but they laughed a few times, and found that Li Junxian's face was very ugly, so they hurriedly stopped their smiles.

Compared with the harmony and comfort on Li Junxian's side, Yuan Gaisuwen's side was a little anxious.

He has found out clearly that this group of unknown origins has more than 110000 troops stationed on the other side of the Datong River this time.

And there are many magical weapons such as artillery and firecrackers.

Regarding artillery and muskets, Yeon Gaesumun has had a lot of contact with them in the past few years.

At first, it was the Zhou Dynasty next door who used these firearms to nearly destroy the country.

If he hadn't had an idea later and prayed to the Tang Dynasty to send troops, which forced the Zhou Dynasty to withdraw its troops, he might have become a prisoner now.

After that, Yeon Gaesumun's emphasis on firearms also reached a whole new level.

Not only that, he also spent half of the treasury's resources to purchase a batch of firearms from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and barely resisted the attack of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Later, during the fierce battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty, they took the opportunity to recover a lot of lost territory.
