Before Samudan left, he used his usual tricks based on the fact that the Qiongzhou Army of the Song Dynasty might have used his own marches, so he took various measures to conceal his intentions and was even more cautious on the way.??                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

However, Samudan did not expect that Zhao Bing would be such a strange thing in the Song Dynasty. While he was preparing to build his own power, he began to form intelligence agencies, and as the top priority, he invested a lot of manpower and financial resources. After two years of development and construction, his internal tentacles have penetrated into various departments and important personnel of the dynasty, and infiltrated the coastal prefectures and counties and important states in the mainland, and most of them have their permanent institutions.

What Samudan even unexpected was that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was regarded as nothing by them, had already been alert to the Jinghu Navy going south to participate in the attack on Qiong. Based on experience, their march route was even vain. Concealing the work he wanted to go south was a waste of effort. In this era, how could the army be mobilized so easily? Therefore, their whereabouts were long been exposed and were constantly transmitted back to Qiongzhou.

Another reason is Samudan's caution. The seriousness of the words is already insidious. When he was suddenly attacked, it was improper. If he insisted on leading his army to force his way through the attack, with their strength, the Song army would not be able to block them all for a while. In addition, even if the road ahead was blocked, if he was willing to abandon the front army and block the sea route to death, the brigade retreated in time, the Song army would not be able to complete the encirclement and put them all in his pocket.

Also, Samudan was worried that the Song army had not sent a sentry ship to reconnaissance the terrain in advance, so he made a mistake in judgment. He did not know that the waterway between Xiwan and Longwan was extremely narrow and large ships were difficult to pass. Even medium-sized warships could only pass through this single ship at high tide, otherwise there would be a risk of stranding, so the Song army could not assemble quickly for a while. However, he made a mistake in judgment, thinking that it was a man who broke through the siege and ordered the reorganization of the formation to protect himself. He was too cautious and lost the opportunity to escape...

"Are they stupid?" Chen Renweng led more than 30 dragon ships of the Defeat Army and the Brave Army to rush into the battlefield from the narrow waterway. It was now that the enemy did not retreat in time as expected, but instead squeezed into a group of people, raising rockets to adjust their formation, which made him confused.

As early as five days ago, Qiongzhou received detailed information, and the enemy Jinghu naval army gathered in Yulinzhou was waiting for an opportunity to go south. Previously, according to Your Majesty's idea, Ying Jieyan had sent people to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance on Donghaizhou. The entire island looks like a butterfly, facing the Leizhou Peninsula in the east, and on the west side is the Weizhou Island, which is the throat road for ships to enter and exit Leizhou. The longest part of the island is more than 60 miles, and the widest part is more than 20 miles, with a belt shape and a radius of more than 400 miles. It is the largest island in the surrounding area except Qiongzhou. The Longshui Mountain above is a natural signpost for ships to pass through. The entire island is high in the east and low in the west, with a plain in the west and a platform in the east.

After several analysis, Ying Jieyan and others thought that if they wanted to severely damage the enemy's naval army and make them shattered their idea of ​​climbing to Qiongzhou, they would also be able to promote the advantages of the long-range firepower of the Qiongzhou naval army and avoid annihilation of one thousand enemies and 800 of them. In the end, they chose the battlefield at the Xiwan Waterway, which was narrow and the south bank was either a steep coast or a shallow, making it difficult for the enemy to get reinforcements from the infantry and cavalry. Moreover, the enemy did not encounter any battle after a long marches. Seeing that Leizhou was in sight, they would inevitably relax their vigilance, which was conducive to ambushing.

However, the Qiongzhou navy also faced a problem. Where can the navy wait for the opportunity to not be seen by the Navy's whistleboat, it is convenient to attack quickly against the enemy. After several discussions and close reconnaissance, Liu Zhu chose the ambush position at the left tail tip of the "Butterfly" in Donghaizhou, which is the north side of Xiwan Island. But here, in order to ensure the safety of the dynasty stationed on the Weizhou Island, the Song army sent troops here to station here, hoarding food and grass to support the court, strictly guarding the sea defense, and preventing the Yuan soldiers from raiding.

After the retreat of the court, the Yuan army sent two 100 teams to occupy Xiwan to set up a patrol department to prevent the Song army from returning. Therefore, if you want to hide here, you must destroy the enemy without knowing it. It is easy to kill these two 100 teams with the strength of the Qiongzhou army. There are countless ways to kill them without even leaving any scum. However, it is difficult to destroy them without being exposed by the enemy on the other side, so that the enemy Jinghu Navy will still pass by as planned.

This time, Samudan thought of a piece on both sides. He wanted to hide his whereabouts by the wind and rain, while Zhao Mengjin thought of using the cover of the wind and rain to kill all the enemy soldiers on Xiwan Island. So on the night when the storm first started, Zhuang Siqi, the commander of the rear army, personally led a battalion of elite infantry troops to board 6 in Xiwan, and entered the enemy camp to kill the enemy. Then he restored the camp to its original state and changed into the Yuan army's clothes to stand guard for them. The navy braved the wind and rain the next night, under the guidance of the rear army's vanguard, and at the same time, two thousand rear army boarded the 6th Xiwan to prevent the enemy from landing on the island to resist stubbornly. They could also use rockets and crossbows to cooperate with the navy to fight.

Therefore, the battle of Donghai Island was completed under the enemy's nose. Ying Jie strictly took charge of Qiongzhou to command and dispatch, and Zhao Mengjin went to Baisha Water Village to prevent the enemy from escaping the island. Liu Zhu led the Lingao, Chengmai Navy, the Defender Army and the Brave Army to annihilate the Jinghu Navy. Jiang Yu ordered the Baisha Navy to patrol the north side of the strait to attack the Harmony Port. One way to attract the attention of the enemy and dare not send troops to provide assistance easily, and the other way could support the East China Island.

The combat plan formulated by Liu Zhu was that after the enemy Jinghu Naval Army brigade entered the Xiwan waterway, the navy's rocket ships and the rear troops on the island took the lead in long-range attacks and blocked the waterway. The Defeat Army and the Brave Army, commanded by Chen Renweng, quickly passed through the waterway between Xiwan and Longwan, chased the retreating enemy troops, disrupted the enemy's formation, cut off their escape routes, and gave the main force time to annihilate the enemy.
