1206 Water and Land Attack, Battle of Baiteng River

Lu Shizhou killed the enemy general Li Hong, and coldly watched the other party fall to the ground. His eyes were as if a fish was placed on the chopping board. He covered his throat with both hands tightly, and sprayed blood foam out with big mouthfuls... Seeing that the other party was no longer waiting for death in pain and could no longer resist, he turned his head and confirmed that it would take a long time to completely kill Jing Haijun, who was trapped in the mountains here, and then shouted in a deep voice:

"If you send the order, you can only leave ten of them for interrogation here to resist the enemy. There is no need to leave more prisoners, all of them are beheaded on the spot! The corpses are quickly collected, and after a short rest, they will continue to advance. After the war is recorded, I will ask the envoy to report the victory and ask for rewards for the meritorious soldiers!"

After another great victory, the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted. The army led by Lu Shizhou cooperated with several tribal troops under the Yunnan Xuanwei Envoy Department. They continued to advance and then led two camps in a row, beheading more than 14,000, and fought from Luzhou to Wu'an Prefecture. Originally, they marched westward, and then rushed into the territory under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou, the capital of Jing Navy. However, the army suddenly changed direction and headed towards the coastal area of ​​Haifang City, located in the southeast of Vietnam.

Later, the sea estuary in the southeast of Haifang City, Vietnam was called the Baiteng River Estuary in this season. According to the official history line, the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties, even the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty fought with the Jing Navy today, and later Annan Kingdom, three major battles were fought in the Baiteng River waters, which shows that this is a must-fight place for military strategists at a critical waters and land.

Wu Quan, the son-in-law of the Jinghai Army governor Yang Tingyi, was ordered to be in danger. The commander of the Jinghai Navy was ready to fight against the Wei Chaozhou Army who was coming from the sea.

At this moment, Wu Quan was standing by the beach, his eyes flashing brightly, giving Kong Wu a powerful force. According to the later Annan history books, it was recorded that Wu Quan "who looked like a lightning, walked slowly like a tiger, had wisdom and courage, and could carry a tripod"... Although it was somewhat exaggerated, it was also a bit majestic and dignified. It was against the generals and soldiers who were from Jiaozhi at the same time. The big one was pulled out from the slap, and his body was tall and burly...

After all, as the son-in-law of Yang Tingyi, the governor of Jinghai Army, Wu Quan was also called the former master of Wu in later Vietnamese historical materials. According to the trajectory of the official history line, because his father-in-law was killed by the rebel general who launched a mutiny, he angrily launched an attack. Then, the Southern Han Navy, which was defeated in the Baiteng River, was then established as a hundred officials and reorganized the governor of Jinghai Army as the king.

Wu Quan was originally from Jiaozhi Aizhou and was a nobleman for generations. So he was like most of the wealthy families of the Jing Navy. He belonged to a hard-core separatist faction. Seeing that the Central Plains had been in chaos since the turbulent times in the late Tang Dynasty, the heroes had seized one side and fought each other with bloody battles... Jiaozhi Jing Navy is located in the southwest border, far away from the disputes between the tyrants of the Central Plains, and the tendency to independence became increasingly stronger.

As a capable general under Yang Tingyi, Wu Quan originally believed that the northwest of the Jinghai Army was because of the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom at that time, and the various tribes were mixed, and the situation was very complicated; in the northeast was the territory of the Qing navy Liu Yin and Liu brothers. Although they had been conquered by the other side in the past, they would launch a rebellion once they had the opportunity and still regain the rule of the Jiaozhi family over the local area.

After all, it is far easier to deal with the Yue Kingdom that occupied Lingnan than the prosperous Tang Dynasty that was unified in the previous dynasty... I had to go to war and launch all military forces to fight against it. I must fight ruthlessly and fiercely enough. I realized that if I had to conquer the Jing Navy, I would inevitably pay a huge price. Then I sent an envoy to ask for peace. The former Emperor Liu of Yue Kingdom realized that he had long occupied Jiaozhi. Since the Jing Navy would still surrender to him on the surface, he had to admit that the fact that the local wealthy families were autonomously governed by the vassal states.

In this way, Yang Tingyi and Wu Quan, who represented the interests of the local aristocratic families of Jinghai Army, had achieved their goals.

Anyway, who dares to occupy the Jiaozhi territory and claim to be the ruler of the Jinghai Army... There will always be times when I am unprepared, and I will stab you in the back and beat you to the pain. Then I will pretend to be soft and surrender, continue to wait and see the current situation, strengthen the power, and wait for the best opportunity... The ultimate goal is to establish a country and become emperor, and I will no longer be dominated by the Central Plains dynasty.

However, the Wei Dynasty, which dominated the Central Plains, swallowed Shu and entered Yunnan, established the Yunnan Xuanwei Envoy, and established the chieftain system. It soon recruited and pacified the tribes of the Yunnan region and was willing to be ruled by them. The Wei army in the southern expedition was like wind and clouds swept away the remaining clouds, destroying Chu and Yue... When Yang Tingyi and others came to their senses, they found that they had become neighbors directly with the Central Plains dynasty.

In theory, as long as we do not proclaim the king and the emperor, and we do not establish a country, the Wei Dynasty was adjacent to the Khitan in the north, and there were still two countries, including the two countries of Beiping and Fujian, the Zhaoyi army, Guiyi army, Shuofang army, and the Zhe family, which occupied the two prefectures of Fulin, which were responsible for external and internal autonomy... Then why should we focus on Jinghai army?

But the attitude of Emperor Wei Li Tianqu was so tough, without any room for mediation... The Jiaozhi area was successively ruled by the Han Dynasty, Sun Wu, Jin Dynasty, Southern Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty. During the Wude period of the previous dynasty, the Annan Protectorate was established, and the Jinghai Army vassal state was established more than 50 years ago. It has been passed on to this day. It should have been accepted by the imperial court. Since you claim to be willing to admit that you are a subordinate of the Central Plains dynasty, you either accept the power of the land and receive the title and salary. If you don’t agree, you will start fighting directly. You still want to put me in two-faced and three-killing tricks? There is no door!

The clay man is still three-part in nature, not to mention Wu Quan, who had established the Annan Wu Dynasty kingdom by following the historical records. Although the Wei Dynasty is strong, it is not impossible to let go. As long as he can defeat the Wei Dynasty's Zhou army in this White Teng River, he will hold back the enemy troops that have invaded the vast invasion, so that the Emperor of Wei will know that the loss of offending us Jinghai is not worth the loss... There are also hopes of establishing a country in the future!

Wu Quan was full of ambition, his eyes still looked towards the sea in front of him... At the time of low tide, the endless sea was swept across the sky and earth, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed like a large beach appeared on the coast.

On the particularly humid beach, shells, crabs, anemones, fish and shrimps... and even some marine creatures that cannot be named are scattered everywhere. What is more conspicuous is that the space where the high tide is still in the sea water has also been erected. The wooden stakes are deeply inserted in the muddy sand and soil, and the tops are wrapped with iron tips, just like sharp reefs. Once a ship is rushing over, the bottom plate will inevitably be pierced by the iron tips.

These were manually set navigation obstacles. It seemed that they were also trapped by the Jinghai Army soldiers dispatched by Wu Quan when they retreated last time. At this moment, they heard the officers of various departments issued orders one after another, and the teams of jackal soldiers, who were barefoot, rushed to the large area of ​​sand that was exposed after the tide was reduced.

Just like a group of worker ants, the wooden stakes were erected again, and the top wrapped in iron tips pointed directly upwards. After this completion, the tide rose again. The large wooden stakes were like a forest under the sea. The sharp iron sheet at the top would inevitably damage the bottom of the ship.

Wu Quan's face was gloomy, and he watched the people under him intensively inserted the wooden stakes into the space exposed when the tide was low at the mouth of the Baiteng River... He was silent for a long time, and suddenly he said in a deep voice:

"I heard that the Wei Dynasty's boat troops are strong and equipped with excellent firearms, and it is really difficult to win in a head-on battle... But our army is well aware of the land and water conditions, and also knows the time when the tide rises and retreats here. So we set up a wooden stake formation here, wrapped iron tips on it, hidden at the center of the Baiteng River... When the enemy's boat troops arrived, they would take advantage of the tide and send light boats to lure the enemy. When the tide retreats, the wooden stakes and iron poles pierce the enemy's warships, which is enough to make the Wei people collapse without fighting... In this way, I don't believe that the Wei army has broken this plan!"
