Chapter 335 Decisive Battle Outside the Island

Zhang Hongfan has been hated by the Han people for hundreds of years, not only because he completed the final blow to the Song Dynasty, but also because he stayed on the strange stone of Yashan, the word "You" also made the Han people feel shame for a hundred years. Everyone hates it to the core. As a "prophet", Zhao Bing naturally knew this history. He could be said to be afraid and hated Zhang Hongfan, but he was afraid that he could not defeat him and was destroyed. What he hated was the shame he brought to the Han people, which made the Han culture unable to recover since then, and made the Japanese island country lament that "there is no China after Yashan", and since then he regarded himself as the orthodox Han culture.

However, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Song Dynasty. There is no suspense in Ali Hague's quelling of Guangxi, and it is inevitable to use troops in Qiongzhou. It is also the only refuge and revival place chosen by Zhao Bing; Zhang Hongfan had already led Jiangdong troops to meet with Li Heng in Jiangxi, preparing to attack the remnants of the Song Dynasty to do his best. Therefore, the ******* in Yashan was in a dilemma of being able to attack left and right, and could not advance or retreat, but Zhang Shijie was still stubborn and worried that his power would fall. He refused to recall Wen Tianxiang's governor's army to strengthen the power of the court, and refused to go to Qiongzhou to take refuge.

Now the already weak power of the Song Dynasty was scattered on three battlefields, and Qiongzhou and Yashan were both related to life and death. Zhao Bing could not guarantee a complete victory with his existing power, which made Zhao Bing unable to take risks. The failure of a battlefield may lead to the destruction of the country. Therefore, he felt that the hardest emperors of a dynasty were two - the founding emperor and the destruction emperor.

Needless to say, the founding emperor, from fighting to sitting in the country, what does it take to do without hard work and experience? The emperor of the country was in the end of the world, sailing against the current, always struggling and struggling, exhausted to deal with it, and turning the tide was never obtained. He was always good with hatred, and he was always a little bit bad, and he had to be pointed at by later generations. Whenever he mentioned it, he would say that it was because this guy was corrupt, appointed treacherous, lustful, and made the people live in poverty, and the soldiers were not willing to fight, and he would not learn from him! So no matter how Zhao Bing thought and complained, even if he was possessed, he would not be in vain...

"Zhang Hongfan is indeed not a good person. He is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also quite wise. He is also trusted by the thief Kublai Khan, and granted totalitarian power to take action first and then report. In fact, we are the most powerful enemy at present, and we must be cautious, and we can no longer bear defeat." Zhao Bing didn't know what he said in his dream, but he felt normal when he heard Ying Jieyan talk about it. He has been obsessed with it since he came to this world and has become a ill person.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, we should join forces to deal with it with all our strength, and destroy their troops first to avoid future troubles!" Ying Jieyan saw that His Majesty was solemn, and he thought about it and suggested again.

"No, Ali Hague is about to attack Qiong, and the court is very afraid of the government army. When they come, they will not only lose Qiongzhou, but also cause internal conflicts. At that time, it will be more than worth the loss." Zhao Bing firmly refused.

"Ali Hague is also a strong enemy. He mobilized 40,000 troops from Jinghu Road to move south. With the addition of four 10,000 households stationed in the western Guangnan prefectures, the troops were less than 80,000, which was comparable to our strength. Even if we win, it would be a tragic victory. The loss was huge. If you can no longer support the court, wouldn't your Majesty be dangerous?" Ying Jieyan said with concern.

"Sir, we have discussed how to defend Qiongzhou before, but still remember?" Zhao Bing did not answer, but asked back.

"I still remember what Your Majesty said at that time. If the enemy attacks all the way, we can send out the naval army to fight the enemy on the sea; if two groups come, we will transfer the naval army to the sea and attack the enemy with all our strength. At the same time, we will mobilize the island's horse and infantry to rely on the coastal defense fortifications to resist the enemy, and strive to win the whole victory." Ying Jieyan thought for a while and said.

"Well, that's exactly that." Zhao Bing nodded, and took out a map of Leizhou from the desk and opened it. "If Ali Hague wants to attack Qiong, it must mobilize the navy to cross the sea to fight, but the two water camps in Qinzhou and Hepu have been burned by us, and all the warships have been lost. If you want to attack, you can only rebuild the warships and train the navy. But now the thief chief Kublai Khan has issued strict orders to pacify Guangxi. It will definitely not take long to rebuild the navy. The best way is to mobilize it from there."

"Yes, Your Highness is right. After the two enemy water camps were destroyed, they also tried to recover, but they were unable to collect enough large ships for a while. They could not transport heavy troops by just a hundred and ten small boats, and they were not the opponent of our navy. If you want to form an army as soon as possible, you can only mobilize one method. There is a navy stationed on Jinghu Road, and I think you will definitely order them to go south." Ying Jieyan agreed with His Majesty's view.

"Mr. I have been on the front lines of Lianghuai and Jinghu for many years. I know that most of the warships used by the navy stationed there are river ships. Although they are flexible in operation, their bottom is flat and shallow, and they are not suitable for driving in the sea." Zhao Bing said.

"That's true that rivers and rivers are shallow and flat, and most of the warships used are flat-bottomed boats to prevent stranding." Ying Jie scrubbed his beard and said.

"It's August now. Although the monsoon has passed, there are still storms coming. After the river ships head south, they dare not go deep into the sea, so they can only cruise in shallow seas. Leizhou is closest to Qiongzhou, and there are not many ports suitable for mooring boats there!" Zhao Bing said, pointing to the map.

"The western part of Leizhou is affected by the Gulfstream, with high tides and strong waves, which is not suitable for river ships to sail. The enemy naval army descends from Jinghu to the south of Quanzhou, and Wuzhou is the most convenient. From the Wuchuan water in northern Leizhou to the sea, you can avoid the Gulfstream. Then along the shallow sea in the eastern part of Leizhou, you can reach Qiongzhou." Ying Jieyan put on reading glasses and looked at the map and recalled the waterway going south, saying, "Then your Majesty still wants to use the same trick again and burn the enemy ship in the port?"

"Ali Hague is not a fool either. We attacked and destroyed nearly 500 of their warships last time. They will definitely take strict precautions. If this method is used, it may not work." Zhao Bing shook his head and said.

"Then does Your Majesty want to attack the enemy halfway?" Ying Jieyan said in confusion.

"The strait is narrow, and if you are not careful, they can successfully smuggle. We try not to take risks. I want to move the battlefield forward here. What do you think?" Zhao Bing pointed at a place on the map.

"Dongzhou Island?" Ying Jieyan looked down and looked at him.

"Yes, after the enemy's naval army went south to the Wuchuan water and entered the sea, it entered the waters of Dongzhou Island. There are islands here to block the tide and the waves are small, which is suitable for river boats to sail. But there are only two waterways here, as long as we get stuck in the west of the island, they will not be able to enter Leizhou Bay. If they dock and enter the port, we can destroy them. If we want to fight with us, we can concentrate our troops to fight against them. As long as we hurt them severely, Ali Hague can only sigh!" Zhao Bing said.
