Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

After rendezvousing with Zhang Shun's fleet, Chu Mo directly took over the jurisdiction of the fleet, and then with a wave of his hand, he led the fleet straight to Hangzhou.

After Zhang Liang planned to drive away Li Jing, he and his eighteen adopted sons began to integrate all the forces in the entire Jiangnan East Road, preparing to unite with the Jiangnan West Road to capture the Huainan Road of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because according to reliable information, the situation in Goguryeo in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty is now in chaos, and it has ceased to exist in name only.

Not only did the regent Yeon Gaeso-moon die at the hands of the rebels, but even the leader of Goguryeo, King Gojang, who had never had a sense of existence, was cut into pieces by the rebels shortly after Yeon-gaeso-moon's death. All members of the royal family They were slaughtered almost overnight.

The once powerful Goguryeo dynasty has fallen apart, and various rebel groups have emerged one after another.

Not only that, Baekje and Silla, which were originally at odds with the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, also suddenly changed hands. It is said that they were attacked and destroyed by a group of pirates of unknown origin.

After this group of pirates captured Baekje and Silla, they launched a direct attack on Goguryeo. Yeon Gaesumun was also injured at the hands of this group of pirates and was taken advantage of by the rebels.

According to the intelligence from Chang'an, after defeating Yeon Gaesoo's army, this group of pirates marched all the way in and directly captured large areas of Pyongyang and Buyeo River.

It was just that the survivors of Goguryeo were dissatisfied with the rule and continued to resist, which slowed down the pirates' attack, forcing them to garrison in Pyongyang and Buyeocheon.

When the Zhou Dynasty saw that Goguryeo had destroyed the country, they took the opportunity to send Su Dingfang's troops to the new city and took advantage of the situation to capture all 16 nearby cities.

However, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also facing the same situation as the pirates at this time. The remnants of Goguryeo were holding back the pace of the attack, and they had no choice but to stay in place and consolidate the occupied area.

The first time Zhang Liang got the news, he immediately felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He could take advantage of this opportunity to unite Jiangnan West Road, combine the troops of the two roads, and take advantage of the emptiness of the Zhou Dynasty to raid Huainan Road. , and captured it in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Zhang Liang, who had just taken over as the general manager of Jiangnan Road's march, was so confident that he mobilized his two forces to prepare for a surprise attack in Jiangzhou.

However, as soon as the army was assembled, they suddenly heard a report from their men, saying that an unknown number of warships had appeared on the Qiantang River, and they were suspected of being attacked by pirates.

Hearing that pirates were attacking, Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows immediately, and then waved his hand and ordered the newly assembled army to go directly to Hangzhou Bay to build defenses and prepare to meet the pirates' attack.

In Zhang Liang's view, they were just pirates, nothing more than a group of gangsters.

If the defenders in the cities along the coast hadn't been useless before, how could these bastards be made bigger and stronger, and even now they dare to attack their own city? Isn't this an eyesore for themselves?

However, it’s okay. I have just assumed the position of General Manager of Jiangnan East Road March, and many of the soldiers under my command are dissatisfied. If I can successfully repel the pirates with this battle, then it is impossible to say that my prestige in the army and Jiangnan East Road will be improved. A big chunk.

In order to ensure that this battle could annihilate this group of invading pirates in one fell swoop, Zhang Liang also sent someone to inform Fan Yi, the strategic envoy of Jiangnan West Road, so that the other party could lead his army to join him as soon as possible to annihilate this group of pirates together.

Fan Yi was very excited after receiving Zhang Liang's message.

You know, this group of pirates has been entrenched along the coast of Datang, bringing endless pain to Datang.

If I can unite with Zhang Liang this time and annihilate this group of pirates in one fell swoop, then His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not be stingy with the rewards.

So, without thinking, Fan Yi took the 50000 troops he had just assembled and went directly to Hangzhou City to meet Zhang Liang.

Chu Mo didn't know that he had become a piece of cake in the eyes of all parties. He had just led the fleet to the Qiantang River and only let the fleet rest for a while at sea before ordering the attack.

As soon as the attack began, Chu Mo directly ordered the warships to be shot away, and then launched three rounds of indiscriminate attacks on both sides of the coast.

Seeing Chu Mo wasting ammunition like it was child's play, Li Jing was so angry that his teeth itched.

Although you can make a lot of money, you are so wasteful. You really don’t know how to be a good person. You don’t know how expensive oil and salt are.

After three rounds of attacks, Chu Mo directly ordered the fleet to press forward. While pressing forward, he used artillery to blast to pieces those ships on the sea that did not belong to him and were probably sent by the Tang Dynasty for reconnaissance.

Li Jing's heart was bleeding as he watched the cannonballs fall directly into the water due to miss.

This was all money. If he had dared to waste it so casually during the war, then he believed that after the war, only Li Shimin would directly drag him out to sell meat to pay off the debt after seeing the loss.

However, Chu Mo's sexy tricks don't stop there.

After a series of indiscriminate attacks, he saw several ships floating on the sea. In order to destroy these ships, he directly ordered the fleet to pursue them all the way to Hangzhou Bay.

After entering the Hangzhou Bay area, they once again covered both sides of the strait with artillery fire, and then pushed all the way straight to the Hangzhou Pier.

As soon as he arrived at the Hangzhou Pier, Chu Mo started a new round of indiscriminate bombing, which directly reduced the entire terminal to rubble.

At this time, there were basically no soldiers guarding Hangzhou Bay, and they all died under Chu Mo's indiscriminate firepower.

Originally, Li Jing thought that this boy should now order the soldiers to land and fight, seize the Hangzhou Pier in one fell swoop, and then use it as a stronghold to attack the city of Hangzhou.

Unexpectedly, Chu Mo not only did not order the troops to land, but even directly ordered the fleet to retreat.

Li Jing, who thought that this was an anticlimactic operation, looked at Chu Mo disdainfully, didn't even bother to taunt him, and took his grandson and granddaughter directly into the cabin to rest.

However, after waking up from sleep, as soon as Li Jing got out of the cabin, he found that his fleet had arrived at Hangzhou Bay again, and then the inhumane bombardment started again.

After Chu Mo bombarded them for half an hour, he once again led the fleet away.

At this time, Zhang Liang and Fan Yi were on the verge of tears.

They never expected that what they thought was a group of weak-legged pirates would be so well-equipped, and their warships would be stronger than all the warships of the Tang Dynasty.

What's even more outrageous is that the opponent's artillery completely outnumbers our own, and the artillery shells are thrown around as if they are free.

On my side, I was not allowed to go into the sea. I could only hide on the shore and let the other party ravage me. There was no way.

However, what made the two of them feel fortunate was that this group of pirates seemed to be just here to show off their power, and had no intention of landing and plundering Hangzhou City. They just casually walked around in a circle, knocked down their own fortifications and coastal defenses, and then headed straight to Evacuated.
