Chapter 1251: Japanese pirates: 40,000 against 5,000, the advantage is with us!

Under the whistling gale, the Black Dragon Flag fluttered in the wind.

On the azure sea, a thousand ships raced forward.

On the flagship, the generals were discussing matters, and it was quite noisy.

The King of Goryeo had already been defeated and retreated to Liujing; any further back, and it would be Jurchen territory.

So everyone was very serious about where to land.

After all, if this attracted the attention of the Jurchens, they would be in trouble.

And just when everyone was arguing endlessly, Chen Lin looked at Feng Tang and said, "General Who Guards the Nation, what do you think?"

"I don't think much of it!"

Looking at the crowd below, Feng Tang opened his eyes, a cold light flashing past as he said, "Jue-ge'er, what is your opinion?"

"General, I think we should land at Nampo and decide the outcome in one battle!"

Looking at Feng Tang with a serious face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"Commander Jia, the Japanese pirates have over 150,000 men! Liujing alone has 40,000..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, the naval generals like Chen Lin were all dumbfounded.

One had to know that the Great Gan had only deployed over 20,000 troops this time; although the navy had 15,000, they wouldn't go ashore to help!

"40,000 are just a bunch of chickens and dogs; could they possibly be better at fighting than the Liaodong Tatars?"

Speaking domineeringly, Zhang Cheng cupped his hands and said, "General, Jue is willing to serve as the vanguard and decide Liujing in one battle!"

"Hmm!"

Nodding calmly, Feng Tang immediately said, "Then do as you say! Land at Nampo, the navy will detour to annihilate the Japanese pirates at sea!"

"Huh? General Who Guards the Nation, is this..."

Looking at Feng Tang in shock, Chen Lin hadn't expected that Feng Tang would dare to adopt such an outrageous tactic from Zhang Cheng; was he crazy?

"No need to discuss this further; just do as Commander Jia says. He is the deputy general for this operation; don't you all forget that!"

Looking at Chen Lin, Feng Tang spoke with a calm and composed face.

"Yes, General!"

Hearing Feng Tang's words, the navy was stunned, while the soldiers from Liaodong were rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Compared to Chen Lin and the others, who had no idea of Zhang Cheng's record, the Liaodong soldiers knew too well what it meant to decide the fate of the world in one battle.

He had dared to chase and hack at Daishan with only 300 men; now with 20,000 men against 150,000 Japanese pirates? Wasn't that just military merit lying on the ground?

One had to know that for this Goryeo war, the Retired Emperor had emptied the inner treasury; a single Japanese pirate head was worth 20 taels of silver!

Retired Emperor: I don't want silver, I only want fame during my life and after my death!

Liaodong Generals: Repay the Emperor's intention of the Golden Terrace, carry the jade dragon to die for the Emperor!

Nampo, a very inconspicuous little fishing village.

But even here, it had already been occupied by the Japanese pirates.

Looking at the worthless items in his hand, a Japanese pirate angrily raised his samurai sword and hacked the old man before him to the ground; ripples rose in the pool of blood.

"Don't, don't!"

Watching his daughter being dragged by the hair into the room, a Goryeo man hurriedly stepped forward and roared.

But facing this scene, the Japanese pirate fiercely kicked him to the ground, his eyes full of ruthlessness.

However, just as a small squad of Japanese pirates was wantonly creating slaughter, a Goryeo man who had hidden his head in the mud was currently praying for the gods to descend.

Because their country was about to fall apart; even the great King of Goryeo could not stop all of this.

"What is that?"

Looking up, a Japanese pirate looked curiously in the direction of the sea.

But in the thick fog, a giant ship appeared, and atop it fluttered the Black Dragon Flag.

"Great Gan, Great Gan has come! Our Heavenly Dynasty has come..."

Pointing at the ship in disbelief, the Goryeo man immediately let out a roar after seeing this scene.

And upon hearing the Goryeo man's words, the Japanese pirate who had stepped forward roared, "Baka, what are you yelling about?"

"The Heavenly Dynasty will not let you off; you will all die! Hahaha!"

Pointing at the Japanese pirate and laughing, the Goryeo man seemed to straighten his back quite a bit the moment he saw the Black Dragon Flag.

"Looking for death!"

Raising the samurai sword in his hand, the Japanese pirate turned his hand to slash down.

But at this moment, a whistling sonic boom sounded, and an arrow like a shooting star pierced through the darkness, pinning him straight to the wall in the distance. Looking at this scene in disbelief, the rest of the Japanese pirates were all dumbfounded, because how did their squad leader "swish" and fly away?

But seeing their squad leader pinned to the wall, the Japanese pirates all became terrified.

But in the next second, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, piercing through them all.

"Boom!"

Under the violent impact, wooden planks fell from the ship.

Great Gan soldiers clad in armor walked down, and at the head was the Recruitment Battalion.

After Zhang Cheng was promoted to Commander, he had not lost his official position in the Liaodong Recruitment Battalion, which meant he was also concurrently responsible for recovering Liaodong!

The moment the Dragon Flag was planted in the Nampo fishing village, it symbolized that the Great Gan had officially deployed troops.

"Commander, should we deploy troops immediately?"

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Cao Wenzhao became serious.

"Find two people familiar with the terrain, then wait for the warhorses from the rear to come down, and go straight to Liujing!"

Speaking with a calm face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but hand the five-stone hard bow to a Krieger.

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Cao Wenzhao also understood his meaning, which was to win quickly and not give the Japanese pirates any chance to catch their breath.

"Uncle, there are two survivors below!"

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Jia Wei immediately spoke up.

"Survivors? What do we need those for? Take their heads and give them to the soldiers as a reward; we came here to get rich, hahahaha!"

Laughing openly, Zhang Cheng's eyes were filled with radiance.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, the soldiers of the Recruitment Battalion all shouted loudly.

Don't look at the fact that these were just two Japanese pirates now; by the time they reached the end, how many would there be?

Traveling far to Goryeo, one head is worth 20 taels; if you stop everyone from making a fortune now, what do you mean by that?

Liujing, inside the royal palace, the Goryeo royal family was currently trembling with fear.

Because it seemed they could no longer hold off the Japanese pirates' attack; if the reinforcements from the Heavenly Dynasty didn't come, they would have to break the city!

And just at this moment, an official ran in and shouted, "Your Majesty, great joy, Your Majesty! Great Gan, Great Gan has already landed at Nampo and is about to march on Liujing; we only need to hold on for a few more days!"

"What? Great Gan has landed at Nampo!"

Looking at the official in disbelief, the King of Goryeo immediately became excited and hurriedly jumped up to shout.

Because it wasn't that he couldn't hide his feelings, but after being beaten for so long, his own daddy had finally sent people; it was truly too bitter!

"How many people? How many does Great Gan have in total? I want to prepare rewards for them..."

Speaking with excitement, the King of Goryeo inquired.

"It is said there are only 5,000!"

Looking at the King of Goryeo's appearance, the official became awkward.

"What? 5,000? Can they win?"

Changing from initial excitement to total shock, the King of Goryeo froze in place.

In the Japanese pirate camp, Ukita Hideie was currently holding a golden fan and laughing, "A mere 5,000, and they dare to come to this place; I think Great Gan completely doesn't put us in their eyes!"

Speaking domineeringly, Ukita Hideie's words made many samurai on the scene roar.

Because the victory in Goryeo had already made them forget how terrifying the Heavenly Dynasty once was!

"40,000 against 5,000, the advantage is with us!"

Raising the golden fan, Ukita Hideie looked at the samurai below and became serious.

"Yes!"

Looking at Ukita Hideie's statement, the samurai below were also full of seriousness.

Nampo, inside the fishing village.

Feng Tang looked at the departing Recruitment Battalion and couldn't help but stroke his chin, saying, "300 against 20,000 is a bit excessive, but this 5,000 breaking 40,000 seems quite normal!"

"Huh?"

Looking at Feng Tang blankly, Chen Lin widened his eyes in disbelief; 300 against 20,000, was that true?

Daishan: Guess where my Bordered Red Banner went!
