Chapter 646 Victory in the first battle

The soldiers and horses on the shore were gathered neatly. Although Li Yuan was the commander, the emperor had to obey the emperor in his personal expedition.

Then he saw Emperor Yang of Sui handing over the good imperial edict he had drafted to Li Yuan. At this moment, he was a veritable commander. As long as the emperor didn't speak, he could decide many things.

He did the same, and he must allocate his generals before going to war.

So all the 600,000 soldiers were allocated clearly.

Lai Hu'er was appointed as the fleet commander, and several forces he persuaded were appointed as pioneers.

The first batch of troops to go to war had as many as 50,000. Li De had to admire that he was able to bring so many people together in just one day.

Among these people, Li Yuan's personal soldiers were mostly his guards and some elite Li family soldiers and horses, and the remaining 40,000 were all his allies.

Emperor Yang of Sui was not too shocked by this. If he had not done this with the reputation of Duke Tang, it would be really not worthy of evidence. Unfortunately, the prestige of Duke Tang played a role.

Fifty thousand people boarded the ship, 10,000 of which were Penglai soldiers. I really made up my mind to come to Hu'er this time.

Li Yuanba was brought by Li Yuan. In fact, Li De wanted Li Yuanba to stay, but since the emperor had named him an invincible general, it would be unreasonable if he didn't go to the battle.

If the emperor was angry and convicted him of a crime of resisting the order, it would be more than worth the loss.

Li Yuanba was not sure about the matter behind being awarded the title of General, but Li Yuan knew very well, so he could not let the emperor talk about these things.

Li De watched the fleet slowly move away from a distance, hoping that they could arrive safely.

After the fleet left, Liu Xuanli and Lu Fulin found him again and talked about food.

There are 600,000 people here now, and food and grass are always the most important of them. So far, there are only a group of food expenditures that support the expedition.

And the consumption of troops and horses usually requires more, Lu Fulin and Liu Xuanli are here to lobby again.

"Grandmaster, Penglai still has 550,000 troops and horses in need of food. The money is being transported on the way, so it will be very good to put food first." Lu Fulin persuaded.

Li De shook his head and said, "This is the business. If you want food, you have to pay it out. I don't want to make things difficult for you or not, don't make things difficult for me."

Li De still refused. In the current situation, the court already owed him money. If it weren't for the fact that the person who commanded the army was his father-in-law, he wouldn't have paid the first batch of food.

A few days later, on the sea to Koryo, the wind was calm, and many soldiers were seasick when the ship was blowing.

What Li Yuan was worried about still happened. Most of these soldiers and horses were of different natures. Many people took a boat this time, which made them feel more uncomfortable than death when they were bumpy.

If you can't sleep well or eat, you either vomit or faint. The cabins on the big ships are full of seasick people, even if they are allowed to rest.

After statistics, nearly 3,000 of the 50,000 troops in the past few days have experienced seasickness, and people have been arranged to take care of them and the troops they can fight have been reduced sharply.

This is not the first time Li Yuan has taken a boat, but he feels uncomfortable when he sails so far away. Fortunately, he is the commander and the treatment is relatively better, and even so he will not feel good.

"How long will it take to arrive at General Hu'er?"

"We will be able to arrive in two days, so we must be careful of pirates from now on." Lai Huer said.

The pirates in Goryeo are all rampant in the offshore. Their fake pirates not only rob other countries' merchant ships but also plunder villages on the shore, which is extremely hateful.

Lai Hu'er really wanted to see those pirates, because he personally captured the pirates last time, so he wanted to catch some pirates again.

However, seeing that many soldiers were not adapted to the local conditions and were even less good at naval battles, he really didn't want to meet pirates at this time, because there might be losses in the fight at this time.

In fact, he thought a little too much. After the last battle, the pirates' ships became the spoils of the vanguard soldiers. How could people become pirates without ships?

It takes time to wait for them to recover their strength, and it is impossible to do it in a short period of time. When picking up the prisoners, most of them used bamboo studs, which was very unsafe, but it was relatively safe as long as they were with the fleet.

Two days later, they saw the land, but as they got closer and closer to the shore, they could clearly see someone defending.

When they encountered the enemy, Hu'er came to the spirit, they immediately arranged the ship's sailing and lined up. They wanted to land and they must not let the ships separate. Li Yuan had already given the order, and all the archers on the ship were ready to take action at any time.

The big ship was surrounded by clutches guarding it. In this way, there were many ships on the sea surface, which would be amazing when you saw it on the shore.

Li Yuan knew that this battle must be won. It was obvious that there were thousands of people on the shore, which was not enough for them. When he saw them, he found that there were very few archers on the other side, which gave them an advantage. However, the big ship cannot rely on the shore, and landing can only rely on small boats.

So the landing battle began like this. The shore they chose was the port built during the Three Conquests of Goryeo, which is now built by the Goryeo people.

The reason for choosing this place is that they value the port here. Their ships are the most important. If they cannot rely on the shore to transport soldiers and supplies, it will be troublesome. Moreover, there is defense here, as long as they attack and repair it, they can provide defense for them.

The price is to pay more. Li Yuan is not an indecisive person. When he chose to log in to the port, he had discussed it with Li De many times, and finally he would log in here.

The battle is inspiring.

The result is not difficult to speculate that 50,000 soldiers and horses are fighting against thousands of people, and even with the help of fortifications, it cannot stop the large and powerful soldiers of the Sui Kingdom.

After the victory, the Goryeo soldiers began to retreat, but Li Yuan did not order an attack but established a camp on the shore step by step to improve defense.

A few days later, Lai Hu'er returned with a large number of ships and brought back the news that the Li family's soldiers successfully landed. According to the voyage time, the first batch of soldiers and supplies could make them last for half a month, of course, it was not counted as the part of the food that Li De secretly provided.

The vanguard's ship did not come back, and stayed in the name of the need for the Clippers to patrol the shore. Lai Hu'er thought this was a way out for him that Li Yuan left for him.

This happened during the Three Conquests of Goryeo. If there were no ships when retreating, they would be isolated and helpless and could not swim back.

Lai Hu'er thought he guessed it right, so he didn't mention this matter at all.

After winning the first battle, morale was immediately boosted, and the reputation of the emperor's personal army immediately spread.
