Chapter 637 Tsushima Island

After Xing Daorong saw off the Japanese envoy, he began to sharpen his knife and prepared to start fighting.

Originally, I thought that when Liu Bei got the news, he would at most agree to take action himself.

But I didn’t expect…

His Majesty’s level of support for me directly exceeded my imagination!
…

Town of Hancheng.

Well… it cannot be called Zhenhancheng now. At most it can be said to be a village and a pier.

Xing Daorong faced the sea breeze, but was shocked by the scene before him.

He stood on the dock, staring into the distance with a sharp gaze.

The sea is vast, and the water and sky are one color, as if there is only a vast expanse left between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, from where the water and sky meet in the distance, a low horn sound comes faintly, as if the earth is shaking slightly.

Then, a large black ship slowly emerged from the sea fog, like a giant beast rising from the abyss, breaking through the waves with unstoppable momentum.

Those huge ships were as tall as mountains, their hulls were as black as ink, their masts soared into the clouds, and their sails spread out like clouds, blocking out the sky and the sun.

There is a ferocious animal head carved on the bow, as if it is ready to devour everything at any time.

On both sides of the ship, densely packed rowers waved their long oars in unison, stirring up layers of white waves, as if the sharp claws of a giant beast were tearing the sea surface.

As the fleet moved forward, the sea water churned and the waves crashed against the shore, making a deafening roar, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.

The fleet from Jiangdong!

In order to support his war against Yamatai, His Majesty pulled the entire Jiangdong fleet to himself.

but…

By the way, the ships in Jiangdong are too big!
Xing Daorong’s pupils shrank slightly and he was shocked beyond words.

Although he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had seen countless warships, he had never seen such a huge fleet.

The fleet was like a moving city, slowly approaching with unparalleled pressure.

Wherever the fleet passed, the sea water seemed to be torn apart, waves splashed, and mist filled the air, as if even the sky and the earth were lost in their color.

…

“General! Long time no see!”

A loud shout was heard, and Xing Daorong looked up and saw Lu Xun, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin on the boat.

The three of them had three big faces, and each one looked extremely happy.

Lu Xun was dressed in a blue shirt, with clear features, holding a feather fan, walking calmly with a faint smile on his face.

Zhou Tai was dressed in tight clothes, with a strong build, sharp eyes, and steady steps, looking very majestic.

Jiang Qin followed closely behind, with a calm expression and a look of shrewdness and competence in his eyes.

The three of them are the same as always, no changes have been seen

Xing Daorong was delighted when he saw this. He quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said with a smile, “Generals, why are you here so suddenly? What a pleasant surprise!”

Lu Xun smiled slightly, waved his feather fan, and said, “General Xing, it’s been a long time since we last met. We are here to help you on the orders of His Majesty.”

That’s nonsense.

Unless Liu Bei gave the order personally, how could Jiangdong send out all its navy?
Xing Daorong said: “I didn’t expect His Majesty to be so supportive.”

Zhou Tai laughed, patted Xing Daorong on the shoulder, and said, “Brother Xing, when His Majesty heard that you were going to sea, he specifically ordered us to come to support you. He said that your mission is important and you can’t make any mistakes, so he sent us to help you.”

Jiang Qin also nodded in agreement, his tone steady: “That’s right. Uncle Liu has high hopes for you, and he specially ordered us to accompany you to ensure that this trip is foolproof.”

After Xing Daorong heard this, a warm current surged through his heart, and a trace of gratitude appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath, clasped his fists solemnly and said: “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. The three generals have taken the trouble to come from afar. With your help, this trip will be twice as effective with half the effort!”

Lu Xun smiled slightly, his eyes deep, looking at the sea in the distance, and said: “General, you don’t have to be polite. Although this journey is dangerous, if we work together, we will be able to ride the wind and waves and achieve our wish.”

Zhou Tai smiled proudly and clenched his fist, saying, “That’s right! With us here, no matter what kind of storm it is, it’s no problem at all!”

Jiang Qin also nodded and said, “General Xing, don’t worry, we will do our best to help you complete your mission.”

With the help of these three people, Xing Daorong is now fully prepared. …

To attack Yamatai, careful planning is required.

The national strength of Yamatai is not strong, but the road to it is too difficult.

Fortunately, with the perspective of later generations, Xing Daorong probably had a plan on how to attack Japan.

To defeat Yamatai, we must first defeat Tsushima Island.

Tsushima Island is the largest island in Japan between Kyushu Island and the Korean Peninsula, and the northernmost island in Kyushu, Japan.

The island area is roughly long and narrow, separated by the Korea Strait to the northwest, facing Ilje Island and Busan City in South Korea.

Of course, there is no sign of Busan at the moment, and it is only comparable to the small village of Jinhancheng.

Tsushima Island is mostly composed of igneous low mountains and hills. The upper island is lower in terrain, while the lower island is higher in terrain.

It would be most appropriate to land from the North Korean direction.

Living conditions on Tsushima Island are average, and by the 21st century, the island’s population was only about 200,000, not to mention these days.

Although this place is not suitable for living, it is indeed a very important strategic stronghold.

Historically, it was the main battlefield of wars such as the Yuan-Japan War and the Battle of Tsushima Strait. Major historical events occurred there, such as the invasion of Iraq, the Ji Hai Eastern Expedition, the Yingyong foreign invasion, and the Russian warships occupying Tsushima.

It was only during the Yuan and Ming dynasties that the strategic significance of Tsushima Island became apparent.

at the moment…

Xing Daorong pushed the first battle of Tsushima Island back a thousand years.

As for whether this method is useful or not, it is still the same as saying that it is left for future generations to use…

…

Going to Tsushima Island…Xing Daorong must explore the way first.

Thus, the First Fleet of the Han Dynasty was established, Jiang Qin and Bao Long became captains of the vanguard fleet and headed for Tsushima Island.

The two men led ten large ships and two thousand men and headed straight for Tsushima Island.

…

However, Jiang Qin and Bao Long led the navy, braved the wind and waves, and headed straight for Tsushima Island.

The sea breeze was howling, the warships were like arrows, and the flags were fluttering. The soldiers were somewhat afraid of the unknown place, but they were more looking forward to expanding the territory.

The general said that this action will be recorded in history books!

A huge monument should also be erected on Tsushima Island, with everyone’s name written on it, stating the year and month when the island was occupied.

This is a historic event…who wouldn’t be looking forward to it!

As the fleet approached the island, smoke from cooking fires could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Jiang Qin frowned, alert in his heart: “This island is remote, how could there be fireworks?”

Bao Long clenched his sword and sneered, “Could it be that there are thieves here? I’ll kill them to my heart’s content!”

The fleet docked, and at Jiang Qin’s command, the navy surged onto the beach like a tide.

As soon as we got ashore, we saw silhouettes swaying in the distance. It turned out to be the Japanese stronghold!

The Japanese were panicked when they saw the sudden arrival of the army, and they all drew their swords to fight. Jiang Qin shouted, “Kill!”

Before he finished speaking, he had already charged towards the enemy camp with his spear in hand.

Bao Long was unwilling to fall behind, and wielded his long sword like a tiger descending from the mountain. With the flash of the sword, the Japanese fell to the ground one after another!

Although the Japanese were fierce, they could not stop the bravery of Jiang Qin and Bao Long.

The soldiers followed closely behind, and their shouts of killing shook the earth.

The Japanese stronghold was quickly breached and the remaining enemies fled in all directions.
