Turbulent Times Chapter 1091: Taking Nanyang Village
In the early morning of April 23rd, the red sun was rising and the sun was shining brightly, and the sea was covered with clouds and clouds. Hundreds of huge ships came from the coast of Annan County, Goguryeo.
Wang Junlin's 10,000 sailors were all dispatched, and another 10,000 army and their horses were transported on the warships, and they were heading towards Nanyang Village in Annan County.
Dami Island and Baekling Island are guarded by Sanqianyuan Daiki Island pirates who just finished their training in the Snake Island training camp. As the pirates transformed into sailors, their warships and weapons were also updated. .
Wang Junlin received the news from the white-bellied sea eagle on board the Wanshi ship. Sui Emperor Yang Guang once again launched a battle that was stronger than the Liaohe River. After learning the lesson from last time, Yang Guang paid thousands of people's strength and peace. The lives of craftsmen lost thousands of elite soldiers and successfully crossed the Liaohe River.
In addition, Zhao Chen and Huang Shaoqiu led 30,000 sailors to the coast of Chengyang County, Goguryeo. They encountered some ships of the Goguryeo water battalion and attacked them, sinking more than a dozen boats of the Goguryeo navy. According to the information sent by Huang Shaoqiu, the 30,000 Fanyang County Navy will be stationed on a small island in the waters of Chengyang County, waiting for his orders.
Zhao Chen was high-spirited at first, but after hearing that the emperor led an army of one million and suffered a big loss in front of Liaohe, he became cautious.
During the more than a year that Zhao Chen served as the head of the Fanyang County Navy, his level was much higher than before. At least he had accurately recognized his lack of ability, and he had already been convinced by Huang Shaoqiu's ability during this year. So I listen to Huang Shaoqiu in everything.
But Huang Shaoqiu was very sensible, no matter how high his prestige in the army was, he was always respectful in front of Zhao Chen, which made Zhao Chen very satisfied.
Zhao Chen stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the fleet in front of him. He was quite high-spirited. He said to Huang Shaoqiu beside him, "General Huang, Your Majesty suffered a big loss. I see that the Goguryeo people are difficult to deal with." , we'd better be careful, this time it's mainly up to you, Wang Junlin actually left our 30,000 sailors alone, and took the pirates from the two islands he conquered to attack Annan County, I don't know what to think. "
Huang Shaoqiu scolded an idiot in his heart, but said with a solemn face: "With the support of the general manager, the subordinates must do their best. The Goguryeo navy was attracted by the prefect, and the Chengyang county navy is worth a few thousand. It’s just a human being, and the boat is broken and small, I am confident that I will help you to make great achievements, and you will never disappoint you.”
Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction, and said, "With General Huang's words, I am relieved. I have already asked the Ministry of War to appoint General Huang as the general of our Fanyang County Navy Commander. The general also agrees, the Ministry of War and the emperor will not disagree, and the general will work together with this official to make great contributions by taking this opportunity."
Huang Shaoqiu bowed and said falsely: "I thank you for your recommendation, but General Shui Shilang has a heavy responsibility, and the last general is quite frightened. I'm afraid that if you don't do well, you will be ashamed."
Zhao Chen also knew that Huang Shaoqiu was just being polite, he waved his hand grandly, and said, "It's just that Goguryeo was able to make His Majesty suffer a lot in Liaohe. We need to be very careful when we attack Chengyang County this time. Indispensable. This trip is to share the force with His Majesty. The purpose is to let Goguryeo take care of each other and face enemies on both sides. And the Liaohe...no one knows what is going on now. General Huang must remember that safety comes first and cannot seek credit. Desperate and self-inflicted, when we landed and fought, once we found a large number of Goguryeo troops coming to help, we must quickly retreat to the sea. Even if we can contain a large number of Goguryeo troops in Chengyang County, it is also a deterrent. This officer is good. Speak to China."
Huang Shaoqiu knew that he was also looking forward to military exploits, flatteringly said: "The general will remember your lord's instructions, and the general will definitely send more sentry horses to patrol at that time, the most important thing is to be safe."
"Okay, okay, General Huang is very proud of his achievements. The current state is difficult. This time, His Majesty is determined to conquer Goguryeo. It is the time for the general to show his grand plans. The future achievements may not be under the king's presence."
"The prefect is so talented that I dare not compare myself to him. I only want to take over the position of my lord after I return to Luoyang and get promoted. I am willing to do so."
Zhao Chen nodded with a smile. At this time, the sailors on the ship shouted in unison, and the wide bamboo-ribbed hard sail slowly rose to the mast, and the surrounding ships of all sizes also raised their sails one after another. The steaming thin cloud of smoke rides the wind towards the planned island due north.

…
Nanyang Village has a circumference of 300 paces per mile. The moat is one foot two feet deep and two feet five feet wide. There is a small hill one mile away on the west side, which is quite conspicuous.
Nanyangzhai is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains form a natural breakwater. Only a waterway at the mouth of Nanyangzhai leads to the port. The unique geographical conditions make this place the largest seaport in the south of Koguryo.
The flat land to the south of Nanyangzhai is cultivated land, and some Goguryeo fishermen's shacks are scattered among them. Many people put down their fishing nets out of fear and curiously, and looked towards the pier.
The military port was full of large ships, and the ships on the wharf kept coming and going, spewing out a large number of Sui soldiers with bright armor. After gathering at the wharf, these soldiers entered the city through the Tongjin Gate in the south of Nanyang Walled City.
Wang Junlin took down the Nanyang village very smoothly. Guan Xiaotong led 3,000 people dressed up as Goguryeo reinforcements, led by spies who are proficient in Goguryeo Annanjun dialect, and there are exactly the same civil servants and tokens as the real ones. , easily took down this easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack military stronghold.
Yuchi Jingde watched the whole process, but he admired Wang Junlin in his heart. This kind of bloodless means is the real powerful person. It reminded him of the legend that Wang Junlin was invincible in the northwest and created a It was a miracle, and I thought to myself that there are no worthless people under the famous name.
Wang Junlin's banner was flying on the gate tower of Nanyang Village. Surrounded by a group of soldiers and generals, Wang Junlin entered Nanyang Village
.
There is only one avenue running through the north and south in the small city, which has been controlled by the Guan Xiaotong Department who entered the city first.
After Guan Xiaotong opened the city gate, he captured all the defending generals and a group of generals who came to greet him on the spot. Each settlement is divided.
These 3,000 soldiers consist of 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry. They are based on the 500 elite frontier troops brought by Guan Xiaotong and Lu Han from Youzhou. They are absolutely loyal to Wang Junlin and can endure hardships. They were selected from the salt slaves in the city and trained for more than a year. During this period, they killed all the pirates, big and small, in Fanyang County. They were trained through actual combat. Forcing the Goguryeo people to surrender completely, and firmly controlled this small city.
