Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 399 A bad situation

Now the remaining armies of the Japanese pirates and Goguryeo people have huddled up, waiting for reinforcements.

Japanese pirates and Goguryeo reinforcements will soon arrive at Tokyo Road.

Yang Yanzhang knew that his situation was not good, and he must seize the opportunity to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, completely eliminate the Japanese pirates and Goguryeo, and ensure the stability of Tokyo Road.

Five thousand troops were ready to go. The main forces of the Japanese pirates and the Goguryeo people were huddled in the city. The cities of the Japanese pirates and the Goguryeo people were not large, and they were all houses built of wood, which were very crude.

The Tang army suffered no losses at all. Therefore, the cities of Japanese pirates and Goguryeo people became a place to catch turtles in a urn.

Yang Yanzhang ordered the army to stop moving forward, and then ordered someone to notify Li Chengen.

He knew that Li Chengen liked to conduct raids the most. Yang Yanzhang prepared to let Li Chengen lead two thousand cavalry to attack the Japanese camp.

Yang Yanzhang also arranged for scouts to monitor the movements of Japanese pirates nearby.

He led the army slowly towards the Goguryeo camp.

The Japanese army has received the news. They knew that the Tang army was approaching.

"Commander, the Tang army is coming to attack our army." The Japanese military advisor said anxiously.

General Matsudaira Nobutsuna's brows were knitted into knots and his face was ugly. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "The damn Tang dogs actually dare to attack us. I, the General, must kill them this time!"

Everyone in the Japanese pirate army knew that Li Shimin wanted to wipe out the Japanese pirates back then, but he failed to achieve it. Now Li Shimin wants to destroy them again, how can he bear it?

The Japanese army immediately organized and prepared to fight to the death to overthrow the Tang army.

Yang Yanzhang's army hid in the mountain forest about 400 meters away from the Japanese pirates' army.

"Archers, prepare, fire arrows!"

Hundreds of feather arrows flew into the formation of the Japanese pirate troops and shot through the bodies of many Japanese pirate troops.

"Kill!" Tang Jun rushed into the Japanese pirate army's line.

The two sides started a bloody fight.

Although the army was brave, it was not as good as the elite of the Tang Dynasty. They soon fell into a disadvantage and retreated steadily.

Knowing that they were outmatched, the Japanese pirates withdrew from the battlefield.

The Japanese pirate army fled, leaving corpses everywhere.

Blood dyed the land red, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.

The Japanese pirates fled in embarrassment, discarding their helmets and armor, and fled far away.

Yang Yanzhang did not pursue him, but led his army back to the camp.

The Japanese pirates have been frightened out of their wits and will not dare to go south in the short term. If the Japanese pirates want to regain their strength, it will take only a few months.

Yang Yanzhang knew that the Japanese pirates would not attack again. So he has not been idle these days, but continues to train the troops.

The Japanese pirates and the Goguryeo people had just been defeated, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would definitely send a more powerful army over. What Yang Yanzhang needs to do is to accumulate strength and increase his strength to defeat the Japanese pirates.

Yang Yanzhang is not a person who likes taking risks, but this time he was very cautious and did not launch an attack rashly.

On this day, Yang Yanzhang was training the newly formed cavalry in the school field, but he saw Yang Zhi rushing over and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, it's not good. The Japanese pirates are attacking again. The Japanese pirates have an army of more than 200,000, and they are heading towards us. Come to the camp!”

Yang Yanzhang cursed in his heart: "Sure enough, they are here. These Japanese pirates are so cunning. They know that they are weak, so they use deception to lure them into battle."

"Instruct the whole army to prepare for battle. In addition, let Li Chengen lead the cavalry to fight immediately." Yang Yanzhang said.

"No!" Yang Zhi immediately took the order and left.

Yang Yanzhang felt heavy. He had a premonition that this battle would be very difficult. The Japanese pirates took advantage of the favorable location and people. Their weapons are excellent, their armor is thick, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

The weapons in Yang Yanzhang's hands were only swords and leather armors, which were very different. Moreover, the Japanese pirates are good at sneak attacks at night, but their operations during the day are limited.

No matter what, Yang Yanzhang must win this battle. Otherwise, Datang would be doomed.

The Japanese pirates finally arrived at Yang Yanzhang's military camp, and then positioned themselves more than a hundred feet away from the military camp, preparing to attack.

The Japanese pirates' army numbered more than 10,000 people, while Yang Yanzhang's army only had 5,000 people. The difference in numbers between the two sides is huge.

Yang Yanzhang stood on the tower and observed for a moment. The Japanese pirates were in a tight formation, and they were obviously well prepared.

His army lacked training, was poorly equipped, and had poor combat effectiveness.

Yang Yanzhang knew that the Japanese pirates deliberately exposed this flaw to lure him out of the city to fight and take the opportunity to consume his army.

He understood the Japanese pirates' intentions, but did not refuse. After all, the Japanese pirates had been plotting their plans for most of their lives. Today, they must teach the Japanese pirates a lesson and let them know that the Tang army is not easy to mess with.

"Kill! Kill all the Tang dogs!" the Japanese pirates shouted slogans and waved their weapons to kill Yang Yanzhang's army.

The Japanese pirates knew very well that the Tang army would not surrender, and they did not dare to surrender. They can only fight hard and win at the cost of their lives.

Tang Jun also knew that his army lacked training and had poor combat quality. But the Tang army could not fight cowardly, otherwise they would be despised and ridiculed, and even abandoned by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Brothers! Kill the Japanese pirates and serve the court!"

The soldiers of Tang Dynasty roared and killed the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese army had the upper hand in terms of numbers, equipment, and tactics, and they had sufficient personnel. The Tang army could not confront them head-on. They could only avoid head-on collisions and adopt wandering tactics.

Yang Yanzhang's commander is very calm.

They struggled with the Japanese pirates for three days, and the Japanese pirates suffered 20,000 to 30,000 casualties.

The Tang army's casualties were equally heavy.

Tang soldiers' casualties were three times more than those of the Japanese pirates. The war potential of the Japanese pirates is really amazing. If the Tang Dynasty did not get rid of the Japanese pirates as soon as possible, I am afraid that the Japanese pirates would threaten the country of the Tang Dynasty.

"According to Chuan Gu's order, the army is temporarily resting and preparing food, grass and medicine. Waiting for Yang Chengyou's rescue." Yang Yanzhang ordered.

Yang Yanzhang could not continue to fight against the Japanese pirates. Only by recuperating for a period of time and regaining his physical strength could he hope to defeat the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates were not fools, and they were not willing to fight against the Tang army. The Japanese pirates' goal was Donghai County, not the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. As long as they could capture Donghai County, they would make a lot of money.

In the Japanese camp.

"Have you heard? The Tang Dynasty defeated the Japanese pirates in succession yesterday, killing more than 26,000 Japanese pirates."

"That's not surprising. The Tang Army is the most elite in the world!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Our king is also very powerful. He led two thousand Japanese pirates and beat the Tang army into panic. The Tang people are looking for abuse."

"Of course."

The Japanese generals were discussing Yang Yanzhang's military talent and believed that the Japanese army could easily win.

The Japanese general Jiro Tanoh said: "Gentlemen, please don't be careless. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is an old and cunning man, we cannot be careless."
