Chapter 243 Preparations

When Zhao Bing arrived at Nanhu, Zheng Yong, who had arrived first, was ready to set sail. After they boarded the ship, they immediately left to the camp of the Burning Army.?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

It's December, and it's the tail of the southeast monsoon. It's smooth sailing from Jingao to the south, but if you turn to the strait, you have to turn to the northwest. If there's no problem under normal circumstances, just adjust the sails and walk more roads and detours. But now the imperial fleet is running for life, so you can go as fast as you can. Otherwise, you will go along the curve and pursue the soldiers in a straight line, and how can you run through others. Therefore, their route passes through the eastern part of the island, instead of going straight to the strait. Therefore, he wanted to lead the fleet to intercept the strait halfway, let go of the imperial fleet, and stop Liu Shen's pursuit fleet.

In this way, a great war is inevitable. Part of the Qiongzhou naval army was taken to Leizhou by Ying Jieyan. If the navy is transferred, he can only play the empty city plan. His plan comes from calculations and does not have intelligence support. If there is any mistake, Qiongzhou may be directly attacked by the enemy. Therefore, the only naval army that can be used is the training of the front-end army...

"Your Highness, why did you come so early?" After receiving the report from Your Highness, Chen Renweng hurriedly sorted out his clothes and armor to meet the dock, but he was also very confused. It was just dawn that his highness suddenly visited and didn't know what happened.

"No need to be too polite. You can immediately send a sentry boat to patrol the sea thirty miles northeast of Qizhou Ocean. One ship will be released half an hour apart, and the situation will be rewarded!" Zhao Bing waved his hand to stop Chen Renweng who was about to bow and ordered.

"Your Highness, is there an enemy attack?" Chen Renweng rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"Not bad." Zhao Bing nodded.

"Yes, your highness, please send a wardrobe to sea immediately!" Seeing that His Highness said affirmation, Chen Renweng immediately ordered someone to go and pass the order.

"Time is urgent, immediately summon all generals to the Warriors to discuss matters, and make all the crews of each ship be ready for sailing, make up for the supplies required for five days, and carry as many stone bullets and crossbows as possible. This is a tough battle!" Zhao Bing refused his invitation and ordered again.

"Abide by the commander's order!" Chen Renweng said solemnly, but seeing that there were only guards and a few military officers on the left and right sides of the Highness, there were no generals and other generals who followed him for a long time, the doubts were still difficult to resolve, but they were still arranged according to the orders of His Highness.

‘Dang, do…’

‘Bang…’ In a moment, the alarm bell rang, and the sound of the drums gathered together also sounded. The warships moored on the pier immediately lit up. The springboard was lowered, and the sailing cable hand was quickly put in place, ready to sail at any time. At the same time, the soldiers stayed in the camp rushed out of the barracks in full arms, part of them rushed towards the village wall, and part of them gathered towards the pier. There was no extra noise on the island except for the sound of footsteps and the sound of commands.

"Your Highness, I think the Defender Army is more well-trained than the Central Army!" Ni Liang also opened his eyes wide and looked at the military soldiers gathered together.

"How can I see it?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile.

"Haha, one is that Your Highness did not curse, but kept laughing; the other is that they gathered quickly, each with their own positions, busy but not inconsistency; the third is that we suddenly visited, and they did not know about it beforehand, so they did not commit fraud." Ni Liang smiled and said.

"You can see the trick. You should also have snacks on your personal guard camp, so don't be compared by the Defighter Army." He accompanied him to inspect the armies these days, and his knowledge grew longer. Zhao Bing was certainly happier to see that he was enlightened.

"Yes, I must ask General Chen for advice in a few days." Ni Liang nodded vigorously.

"Well, you can't always stay by my side. One day you will lead the troops to fight. Have you finished reading all the books you sir?" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"I'm very stupid. I have only read two chapters of "The Art of War" and have not read the others yet." Ni Liang said embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, too much greed is useless. Just by integrating this instinct, you can be invincible in the world." Zhao Bing raised his head and said to him.

"Your Highness, get on the boat, they will arrive soon." Ni Liang nodded vigorously to show that he had been taught and helped him get on the boat.

After a while, the ships received the order began to supply fresh water, food and ammunition. Chen Renweng led a dozen officers above the commander of the Defender Army to board the ship. The conference room was set in the top cabin of the Warriors, and there were not so many seats here. After the ceremony, Zhao Bing sat on the ground with the generals in the cabin, with a Qiongzhou geometric map laid in the middle.

"The military situation is urgent, so I won't say much." Zhao Bing glanced at everyone and said, "It is reported that the court and the thief Liu Shenmen were evacuating towards Qiongzhou after five days of fierce battle in Jing'ao. There were about 400 enemy ships and then chasing them. However, the situation after entering the foreign countries was unclear. The king estimated that the imperial fleet had only three routes to go. One was to Leizhou, and Fushuai had brought a navy army there to meet him. Secondly, entering the strait to Qiong, and Liu Dutong also led a navy army to stand by and ready to intercept the enemy at any time; in the direction of Qizhou Ocean, the imperial fleet might choose a way to Qiong, so I will lead your troops to meet him. See how this battle is fought, even if you say it, I will not blame me!"

"Your Highness, the enemy has 400 warships, while our Defeat Army has less than 70 warships, and only more than fifty can participate in the battle. This is too much of a difference!" Everyone did not say anything after hearing the war situation report of Your Highness. After a while, the captain of the Brave Captain Du Meng said.

"Yes, if we encounter this battle, the enemy is strong and we are weak, but the other two units can be reinforced at any time, and the imperial fleet still has thousands of warships, so we will not ignore it." Zhao Bing knew that in this era of winning by quantity, the troops of the two sides were seven or eight times different, and they were fighting offensive rather than defensive wars. It was normal to be timid, and it was the most dangerous to say loud words with your chest.

"Your Highness, my subordinates think that this battle cannot be fought hard, but should use skill to leverage the advantages of my dragon boat!" Chen Renweng thought for a moment. He clearly stated that there was reinforcements, but the imperial fleet was running away. If he wanted to go back and fight again, it would not be possible to complete it in a moment. The support fleet may arrive. Therefore, the Defender Army must withstand the head and persevere until the reinforcements arrive. Only then did he realize that what Your Highness said was true, and this was indeed a tough battle.

"Let's talk!" Zhao Bing smiled.

"Your Highness, the dragon boat is because of its great power as the crossbow cannons. The ship is fast and flexible, but it is smaller than the enemy ship, so it is easy to hide. Raid tactics should be used instead of lined up to greet him." Chen Renweng looked up at His Highness and said.
