"Hurry, hurry up... Go to the island quickly!" Yuan army deputy commander Aoluchi kept urging the ship to lean towards Baisha Island, but his voice was drowned in the sound of rocket explosions coming. It was useless for him to shout hoarsely.

"Deputy Commander, I have to find another way. This island is too small!" The ten thousand men's commander who landed on the island in advance led Ulu to take advantage of the rockets to rush over and protect him and retreat to a depression north of the island. He said without waiting to breathe evenly.

"Well, I know, but the Song army has built complete city defense on the coast. Husband and a team of thousands of people were wiped out without even reaching the shore. Now we can only seize Haidashima to control the estuary as soon as possible." Oruchi nodded and said.

"No wonder we succeeded easily. This place is simply a dead place!" Wulu said in great frustration after hearing this.

"That's why we must quickly set up a pontoon bridge to seize Haitian Island, otherwise we will be trapped here!" Oruchi sighed softly. He had seen it when the boat was docking. The island was exposed to the sea only ten miles after the high tide. The terrain was low and flat, there were no prominent terrain, no trees and jungles, and no residents. Looking around, it was covered with vast white sand. Only some unknown weeds grew in the edge area, and the beach under their feet was covered with cone snails and broken corals pressed by the tide.

"I know what the deputy commander said. The island's Nanhe net was densely covered with fresh water, and the sea slab was covered with black and smelly mud. It was extremely difficult to move. The horses could not pull out their hooves when they were trapped in. And it was within the range of the enemy's meteor fire. The floating bridge just built was also damaged. The soldiers could not avoid death or injury!" Wulu was extremely angry and said helplessly.

"This battle is not as simple as imagined. Fortunately, we still have a place to settle down!" Oruch raised his neck and looked at the island south and murmured. The enemy's "meteor fire" fell on the island like hail. The explosion sounded a point. At this time, there was no number of shrapnel roaring and flying, blowing the beach and mud over and over again. The fire was rolling, thick smoke soared into the sky. Black clouds covered the island south and blocked the sunlight. Nothing could be seen clearly. Only the smell of smoke drifting from the smoke made people breathless.

"Go back, don't retreat!" There is no terrain on the island, and there are no land objects to use, and there are no trees to hide. The soldiers who have nowhere to hide rushed to the north of the island, but were constantly hit by flying shrapnel. Seeing the defeated soldiers retreating to the beach and about to board the ship, Wulu stood up and shouted loudly, but he could not resist it. The defeated soldiers were mixed with the soldiers who were disembarking.

"Stop them and don't mess up the team!" Oluchi ordered.

"Those who retreat will be killed, and those who retreat will be killed!" Wulu drew his sword and cut down a passing defeated soldier and shouted to his personal soldiers. The threat of death is an effective means at this moment. After a series of slashes, the frightened defeated soldiers stopped and were gathered together again.

"Chaka, is the floating bridge in front of you ready?" At this time, the Song army's meteor fire gradually subsided, and Wulu asked the fleeing master.

"Reporting to Wanhu, we have laid six floating bridges, which have been half crossed, but the enemy suddenly fired artillery and destroyed the bridge, and the soldiers were killed and injured. Even the Daqi team, which was disembarking nearby, was affected, and more than a dozen warships were destroyed, so we had no choice but to retreat." Chaka replied.

"How is the progress of the Munwu tribe?" Oruchi asked again.

"Reported to the deputy coach, two thousand-person teams of Huwu's troops launched an attack on the west bank of the river estuary. They were also blocked by meteor fire, but a thousand-person team still rushed to the coast, but most of them were shot to the beach and could not get close to the sand dike. After several attacks failed, the remaining troops retreated!" Chaka's face twitched a few times, and it was obvious that the battle situation there was also extremely tragic.

"Well, we don't have much time, and the tide will fade in another hour. I don't care how many people die, but no matter what, we have to build the pontoon bridge, otherwise military law will be dealt with!" Oruchi nodded and said.

"Yes, deputy commander. But most of the ship was destroyed, and there were no bridge boards, and there were not even trees on the island, so how could I build a bridge?" Although Auruchi's words sounded less severe, Chaka knew it without doubt. If he could not pass the bridge, his life would definitely be lost, but he hesitated and still spoke out the difficulties he faced.

"Ulu, all the boats on the dock are left to you. If there is no bridge board, the ships will be demolished!" Oruchi said sternly.

"Deputy Commander, but after the ship was removed, how can we go back?" Wulu was stunned and asked back.

"Go back? I can't use so many boats!" Oruchi said with a wry smile...

The central army commanded by Ali Hague was less than five miles away from the coast and was docked in the northwest of Baisha Island. The situation on the battlefield was clear at a glance. He put a canopy in his hand to block the dazzling sunshine and looked south. Qiongzhou Island was right in front of him, but it seemed very far away. The battle had been fought for half a day, and did not rush to the beach like before the war. Instead, the two 10,000 teams participating in the main attack had been lost more than half, but they still could not set foot on the coast of Qiongzhou.

"Everyone is handsome, please use some food!"

"Remove it!" Ali Hague glanced at him and said. He had no mood to eat at this moment, and had instinctive disgust, because it means that noon was over and the time for the ebb was getting closer, so it would be more difficult for their warships to rush to the beach. The enemy fleet that had not appeared made him feel even more uneasy. If they joined, they had to divide their troops to resist. Not only would they disperse their troops, the troops on the transport ship would inevitably be affected.

"Daowenbuhua, your troops immediately hit the beach and quickly break through the first barrier of the enemy!" Ali Hague said to Duwenbuhua who was standing beside him.

"We are handsome, we don't have a boat?" Tuowen Buhua was stunned and said in a daze.

"If you don't have a small boat, just use a big boat, even if you swim over, as long as you can get ashore!" Ali Hague said angrily. In fact, he said this, not entirely anger. Previously, each unit used small boats to grab the beach, and could only carry dozens of people at a time. Even if you get ashore, it would be difficult to achieve. It was quickly annihilated under the attack of the powerful firearms of the Song army. The large boat can carry hundreds of people at a time, and as long as one ship successfully gets ashore, it can form a powerful combat power.

"This... they are handsome. The big ship's target is too big and they are easily hit. That's too much loss." Tuowen Buhua followed Ali Hague from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, and then conquered Guangdong and Guangxi. He has always been calm in dealing with things and is calm in the face of danger, but today his temperament has changed drastically and becomes so impatient, he whispered.

"There is not much time left. Once the tide is gone, the ship will not be able to rush to the shore. We will have to be trapped on the sea, and we cannot move forward or retreat!" Ali Hague also realized that his emotions were a little out of control and said with a relaxed tone.

"I understand. Large ships also have benefits. They can't sink even if they get on or off. Small boats will be destroyed by one blow!" Of course, Tuowen Buhua also knew that once Song Shuijun returned, it would be even more dangerous to float on the sea, and it would be safer on land. Even if he just got a foothold, it would be safer than on the ship. He figured it out and smiled.

"This war is about life and death. Be sure to do your best to not let that little thief be proud!" Ali Hague looked at the giant boat with high imperial flags in the port and said angrily. He was defeated by his troops several times and was at a disadvantage everywhere. The emperor boat was docked in front of him clearly to show off and ridicule himself.

"Don't worry, when I capture the thief and present it to the horse!" When talking about the little emperor, Bowen Buhua was also angry, making them dirty again and again, losing all face in front of the sweat, and being scolded repeatedly.

"Remember to keep a distance between each ship, so as not to be attacked by meteor fire, divide it into several waves to attack. After getting ashore, get off the ship and launch a fierce attack immediately. Don't give them a breather. I will ask Qi Rong's ancestral troops to reinforce them!" Ali Hague reminded, "The deputy commander has two teams of 10,000 people on the island, and is building a floating bridge to prepare to capture Haitian Island, so that we can attack and sweep the river estuary and take Qiongzhou directly. At that time, even if their navy comes, they can only see the dust!"

"I ordered Chen Yi to send a sentry ship to patrol the surrounding waters for twenty miles. When I found that the enemy naval army was rewarded immediately, and there must be no mistake!" Ali Hague saw that Tuowen Buhua got out of the ship and mobilized his troops, and ordered Qi Rong's ancestors to prepare for reinforcements. Seeing that the hundreds of search warships rose up and left the ranks and lined up to speed towards the coast. He ordered people to send orders to the escort fleet that had been cruising on the east side of the fleet. The navy that had not been shown for a long time was always a huge rock in his heart. He was looking forward to not showing up, but was worried that he would suddenly appear in front of him...

The rear army was under the pressure of the enemy on both sides, and they successively repelled two enemy attacks. Although they did not spend much effort in the first round, the battle basically ended without contact; the second round was more troublesome, the enemy attacked with small teams, and rockets were the most effective against cluster targets. Once they were dispersed, the hit rate was greatly reduced. Although heavy crossbows can shoot accurately, the enemy's small boats had to continuously adjust the shooting angle, and the number was limited, so it was inevitable that they would lose sight of each other. However, the enemy who went ashore still failed to succeed under the shooting of small crossbows and crossbowmen.

After the war, Zhuang Siqi ordered the replenishment of supplies and let the various units take turns to eat; while in the meantime, the frontier army repaired the sand embankment that was smashed by the enemy's stone thrower, ready to resist the enemy's next round of attack. But soon the alarm bell rang again. He looked at the sea and saw more than a hundred large and medium-sized warships on the sea surface, divided into four waves in evacuation formations, forming a five-mile-long front line toward the coast.

"Order the Rocket Battalion and the Bird Battalion to not wait for orders. After the enemy enters the range, it launches an attack on its own. The frontier units enter the battle position and wait for the opportunity to hide and wait for the opportunity." Zhuang Siqi looked at the situation and estimated that the enemy could not be less than two teams of 10,000 people this time, which was definitely not the "small fight" of the previous two times. This was a desperate effort. He had been through a long battle formation, but after seeing it, he still felt nervous. Although his troops were not inferior to those of the enemy, he had to divide his troops to guard the Jiangkou, and there was a coast of more than ten miles long, so his strength seemed weak. The best way at the moment was to perform his duties and take the initiative to attack.

"Commander, are we asking Your Majesty to send reinforcements?" Sun Kai, deputy general of the rear army, asked when he saw this.

"Deputy General Sun, Your Majesty is watching the battle in the Acropolis and is clear about the situation. We have asked to send reinforcements before we encounter a big battle. Wouldn't it be ridiculed that our rear army is useless?" Zhuang Siqi waved his hand and said.

"Commander, even though that's the case, we face a strong enemy alone, if..." Sun Kai said with some concern.

"Deputy General Sun, you lead the Yi Camp, and Zhang Yuhou leads the Exclusive Forecast Battalion to stand by in front of the camp. Once the war is intensified, go to reinforcements." Zhuang Siqi looked in the direction of Haitian Island. The war was in full swing. The enemy built several floating bridges at the same time to capture Haitian Island from Baisha Island. If it is lost, it will be more pressure, so he flatly gave up the idea of ​​asking for help from the Central Army.

"Zhang Yuhou is a scholar. Can he do it?" Sun Kai said with some doubts.

"Zhang Qi is not fighting in battle, but he knows the military strategy and knows the battle formation, which is much better than you, a fighter!" Zhuang Siqi pointed Sun Kai's nose. Zhang Qi was a soldier who was a soldier in Quanzhou. After entering the General's Mansion, His Majesty trained soldiers and sent these people to various troops to make calligraphy cases, responsible for recording the training methods and copywriting matters. He found that he had great experience in training and selecting generals, so he asked His Majesty to keep him in the rear army as the Marquis of Yu and become his own big helper.

The battle had begun while speaking. The Yuan army's warships opened up their distance and entered the range of the rockets. The rear army's rocket battalion began to stop shooting. Zhuang Siqi picked up the telescope and looked at the sea. He found that facing so many enemy ships this time, the rocket battalion did not use the group's cover shooting method, but used a launching frame to shoot a ship.

"Their method is good!" Zhuang Siqi looked at it for a while and couldn't help but praise it. In this way, it seemed that the firepower was dispersed against the enemy, but it reduced the trouble of constantly adjusting the shooting angle. Just load and launch the various elements according to the long-predicted shooting elements until the enemy ship entered the shooting dead end. This may lead to the enemy ship slipping through the net, but it is more efficient than catching small fish with a large net and improving the hit rate. In the first wave of enemy ships, four of them were hit.

However, the resistance of large ships is much stronger than that of small boats. In addition, rockets are not as good as crossbows. They attack the ship vertically from the top. If they penetrate the deck directly, explosions in the bottom cabin may cause the ship to sink. However, large warships have many superstructures such as forecastles, sterns, and rudders on them, and the bottom cabins will also be divided into multiple floors, so it is easy to damage them with one or two rockets, but it is not easy to sink them.

Therefore, although the enemy ship hit by rockets caused certain damage to the hull, some officers and soldiers were killed and killed. One of them ignited a fire, and the speed slowed down, it did not stop and still rushed forward. It continued to launch a rocket on the bow of the ship, trying to destroy the sand embankment and kill the defenders. What was even more surprising was that after entering the range of the crossbow, these ships faced the fire, risking the ship's destruction and death, they directly broke the wooden stakes buried on the beach and rushed to the beach. It was a completely destructive way to fight.
