Qiongzhou is his starting place and a place for revival in the future. Of course, Zhao Bing is very concerned about this battle. If he wins this battle, at least Ali Hague will not be able to fight Qiongzhou again this year. If he loses, Qiongzhou will face a catastrophe and the navy will suffer great losses. It is not easy to accumulate these wealth, especially those trained military soldiers. If the warships are gone, they can be robbed and built, but the training of military soldiers cannot be carried out in a day or two.

Zhao Bing also knew that he was a little overly anxious. This battle was an ambush and was equipped with newly developed flowering bullets. There were 30 dragon boats that could participate in the battle, and the winning side was still very good. Otherwise, he would not have approved the battle rashly. But he also knew that there were many factors that affected the outcome of the battle. If he was not careful, he would have resulted in failure. Therefore, he really wanted to go to the battlefield in person and fight side by side with the Qiongzhou navy.

But Zhao Bing knew that it would be difficult to implement this matter. First, he would not agree to leave, including the empress dowager, and when he left, he would not let him go in person, so he could only go secretly; second, Zhang Shijie became alert to his frequent trips to sea, and was worried that he would sneak away from him, so he transferred Lu Shicheng and Du Hu, who were familiar with him, and replaced him with his personal guard camp to follow and monitor. To get rid of them, he could only use a killer secretly, so he would really turn against Zhang Shijie. Therefore, he could only temporarily suppress and run to the outside seas to look for opportunities...

"Your Majesty, I'm urgent to report!" Just as Zhao Bing was thinking hard, Ni Liang suddenly ran over and said.

"Hey, why are you here?" Zhao Bing was very surprised. In order to confuse Zhang Shijie, he specially asked Ni Liang to stay, but he ran over.

"Your Majesty, the Affairs Bureau has sent an urgent report. I know that Your Majesty is worried about the matter over there, so I came." Ni Liang said with a silly smile on his face.

"Stop quickly." Zhao Bing asked him to sit next to him and asked someone to send tea and food. Ni Liang was a child who was honest and could not speak, but he liked such people very much.

"Great victory, great victory, Donghai Island, our Qiongzhou army won!" Zhao Bing arranged Ni Liang while dismantling the letter, and there were only a few words on it: Donghaizhou ambushed, destroyed more than 400 enemy ships, captured more than 200 enemy ships, annihilated thousands of enemies, killed Samudan, the commander of the enemy Jinghu Naval Army, and the deputy commander Ali. Our army suffered a slight loss. After seeing this, he couldn't help but attack the case and shouted.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you won a complete victory again!" His Majesty shouted and immediately alarmed everyone on the boat. They came to congratulate him one after another. However, Lin Zhiwu and others felt a little regretful because they were unable to share their worries for the Lord. The silly boys on the boat over there were so busy seeing the Bianjing, they were stretching their necks to watch, but they didn't know that they had just walked around the gate of hell.

"Everyone pack up and we will return immediately!" Zhao Bing knew that this was just a victory issued by the Affairs Bureau to reassure himself, and the detailed battle situation would be reported later. Winning this battle would also change the local situation in Guangnan. He also had to reassess the matters in the future, and the slight losses later also made him feel sank. This battle must have paid a certain price, so he had to go back and wait for the detailed report quickly...

Two days later, the detailed report of the Battle of Donghai Island was sent to Zhao Bing's desk. This not only included Ying Jieyan's summary of the battle, but also the battle reports of Liu Zhu and various leaders. He also broke out in a cold sweat after seeing it. This battle was a dangerous battle, but the risk did not come from the enemy, but from his own mistakes.

The entire combat plan seemed perfect. When the enemy entered the West Bay waterway, it suddenly attacked. When the enemy retreated, it used the front-end army and the brave army to attack and disrupt the enemy formation. The army followed up and annihilated the enemy in the bay. But they did not expect that the enemy did not retreat after the attack but had to pass by forcibly. As a result, they blocked the enemy in the bay. However, the shipwreck also blocked the waterway. They could not pursue it. They could only rely on the hard battle between the front-end army and the brave army to hold the enemy down, allowing Liu Zhu to lead the army to detour into the bay and complete the task of annihilation of the enemy's naval army.

Therefore, the first half of this battle was dull and completely out of order, only Chen Renweng's troops were still the highlight. He knew that he was fighting alone, and he fought with the rear army's island-based troops to jointly stabilize the situation and successfully left the enemy in the bay. Then when the rear army was unable to support, they did not stagnate, but used the skinning tactic to continue to weaken the enemy and drag the enemy down. Especially after the enemy showed signs of breaking through, they immediately divided their troops to fight with the enemy, and entangled the commanding ship so that the enemy could not escape for the time being, thus gaining enough time for Liu Zhu's brigade. However, in terms of Zhao Bing, the brigade that came was more like coming to clean the battlefield.

In this battle, the Qiongzhou navy lost more than 40 warships and more than 2,000 casualties. In Zhao Bing's opinion, such a large loss could be avoided, especially Dong Yicheng's troops, who had the greatest losses, relied on their superior equipment to deal with heavy blows to the enemy's front and the enemy at the beginning of the war, but then recklessly rushed into the enemy's ship to fight in close combat with the enemy, resulting in great losses, and the casualties of his troops alone accounted for 60% of the total losses. The Defeat Army and the Brave Army lost only two dragon ships in a day, and most of the soldiers who fell into the water were rescued. In addition to the dragon ship's own solid advantages, the ability of the commander and the quality of the officers and soldiers were also the reasons for their extremely small losses.

As the commander of the entire battle, Liu Zhu also made major mistakes. It was precisely because he was not careful in reconnaissance before the war and misjudged the situation between the two sides, which led to the waterway being blocked after the battle began. The army could only watch the fun and could not participate in the war. Although he made a quick decision and took a detour to join the battle, he had lost the best opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and also made the ambush a stalemate. This battle was dragged on and sparse. However, the battle he commanded also had its own characteristics. For example, sending infantry troops to the island to attack the enemy posts on rainy nights to clear the lurking obstacles, and laying rockets on the island to cooperate with the navy to form a three-sided siege against the enemy, which can be called creative deployment.
