The Yuan army fought desperately, but the Hague's tactics were successful. Although the rear army also opened fire and tried to intercept the enemy at sea, it still seemed unsatisfied in the face of the enemy ships that were swarming in, and it was really difficult to "take care of" every enemy ship. The enemy at sea soon became a decisive battle at the beach. The close combat that Zhao Bing was most reluctant to see happened.

In fact, not every coast is suitable for landing. The same is true for Qiongzhou. Some places are collapsed cliffs, some places are covered with mangroves, and some places are rocky beaches, and warships cannot dock. The river estuary guarded by the army is originally a mudflat formed by the silt caused by the Nandu River, so it is like a mud pond. In addition, some areas have been manually transformed, causing considerable difficulties to the landing Yuan army.

But now the tide is just **, with only more than a hundred steps in the embankment and waterline. The Yuan army, who fought to the death, did not consider how to go home at all. The flat-bottomed warship rushed to the beach directly by inertia. The pointed-bottomed warship plowed a long ditch and went to the shore crookedly. The soldiers on it fell down without considering building a springboard. Fortunately, as long as the mud here is not choked to death by mud, it will not be killed.

Of course, it was not just the muddy boy who greeted the Yuan army. Although they avoided the bombardment of rockets and heavy crossbows, they entered the sphere of influence of light crossbows and crossbows. They were fixed targets at close range, and the hit rate of Song crossbows was greatly improved. Some soldiers were hit by direct-fired flower bullets before they even got off the ship, and they exploded with blood rain, accompanied by shrill wails. The worst thing was that the person who was hit by the continuous crossbows was floating on the water for many days and was penetrated with a transparent hole as soon as they stepped onto the land.

Those who died were happy, and those who were unlucky were half dead. In this era, even if they were injured in their arms, they would suffer more than a few more days of injuries, or even a lifetime. The archers of the Song army watched the excitement for a long time. The enemy went ashore and finally had a place to use their skills. This was also an opportunity to fight for military merits and get rewards. At the order, they launched repeated shootings at the gathering enemy troops, ruthlessly reaping lives.

Under the fierce attack of the Song army, the enemy soldiers who went ashore struggled and ran hard in the mud, looking for a place to hide. There were only a few lonely reefs on the coast and seaweed pushed to the shore by the waves, so bare that they could not even hide a rabbit. The arrows fell on the island like rain, and the whistling shrapnel flew across the island after the explosion. In an instant, the beach was covered with corpses, and the sea water was dyed pink.

However, it has to be said that the Yuan army was a army of hundreds of battles. After the initial panic, they braved the rain of arrows and raised shields to block the rainy arrows to build a simple line of defense. The crossbowmen and the Song army began to shoot at each other, covering other people using the boats snatched and broken boat boards to lay out barriers. As the personnel scattered on the beach quickly gathered together, they formed a force that should not be underestimated, and then began to find the weaknesses on the Song army's defense line and prepared to open a breakthrough.

The attacking Yuan army quickly selected a gentle coast, which was about one mile long. The mudflats there were still solid, at least they would not go and pull each other. The sand dike had collapsed under the bombardment of stone throwers and golden juice cannons, and even after repair, it seemed weaker than there were. The gathered Yuan army covered the big axe with shield soldiers as the guide, and the soldiers carrying long swords moved forward, while the crossbowmen kept throwing arrows on the sand dike to suppress the defenders, trying to break the dike and attack the village directly.

If the enemy could reach the dike smoothly, Zhao Bing would be 800 years old. The attacking Yuan army only focused on blocking the arrows falling from the head, but ignored the foot in a hurry. First, he made a mistake, and then a dull sound. The people in front suddenly disappeared, bowed their heads and looked for them quickly, and they were all humming in a huge pit! But no one tried to catch them, one was because they didn't have time to worry about it; the other was basically in vain, and those people were turned into meat skewers by the pointed wooden stakes at the bottom of the pit.

When they finally "filled" the pit and were about to start a sprint, they suddenly felt a pain under their feet, looked down at a piece of bamboo sticks on their feet, and then a heart-wrenching howl. If they couldn't bear it, they would fall to the ground and turn into bamboo sticks. But when they stood still, they would turn into little hedgehogs in a blink of an eye. But under the harsh coercion of the officers, the people in the front row could only become stepping stones for others.

After making great sacrifices, the bad luck of the unlucky children has not ended. They rushed through the bamboo stick array and were mine formations. If they accidentally stepped on it, they would suffer casualties and fly around their arms and legs. The deterrence of mines is often greater than that of lethality. In addition to the sound and light effects, it gives people a psychological and huge impact. The pioneers who had already suffered heavy casualties finally couldn't advance, and rushed up and retreated like waves, leaving a body.

Now that they are burning their boats, every general and soldier of the Yuan army knows that the way back is broken. If they cannot break through the city in front of them, they will not be able to attack Qiongzhou and are trapped on this beach, so they must rush forward even if they know they are dead. After several attacks, the Yuan army filled the trap with their bodies, stepped on the bamboo stick formation, broke through the minefield, and finally rushed to the front of the village wall. But what awaited them was not only denser arrows, but also countless grenades.

Zhuang Siqi commanded the rear army to repel more than ten attacks of the Yuan army in succession, firmly pressing the enemy on the beach and unable to take another step forward. However, many ants bite the elephants to death. As the two enemy teams of two 10,000 people landed, not only the pressure increased sharply, but the casualties also increased. He had to shrink the defense line, mobilize the troops in the direction of the enemy's main attack, and transfer the reserve team to the...

"Your Majesty, the rear army is no longer supporting, and the Yuan army is constantly increasing its troops. It is time to transfer the Right Army to come and prepare for reinforcements at any time. In addition, the pressure on Haitian Island is not small, and the troops on Baisha Island are no less than two teams of 10,000 people!" Zhang Shijie looked at the situation on the entire battlefield and suggested again.

"Well, my attack intensity on the enemy is still insufficient. It is time for the Right Army to come up and order them to move closer to Haikoupu immediately!" Zhao Bing nodded. The current situation of the rear army is really critical. Faced with the crazy attacking enemy troops, Zhuang Siqi not only concentrated his troops, but in order to prevent the Shadi from being broken, he had given up attacking the enemy's naval fleet with rockets, but asked them to raise their shooting angles to bombard the frontier positions.

It can be said that every general of the Qiongzhou Army is very familiar with the performance of the rocket and is unable to complain about its uncontrollability after launch. Therefore, they use rockets to bombard long-distance cluster targets. In order to avoid accidental injury, they must maintain a distance of more than 100 steps from their positions. This has become a consensus. However, Zhuang Siqi ignored his own danger and bombarded the enemy outside the village wall with rockets. He was obviously really anxious, and even if he was injured by accident, he would not hesitate to do so.

"This is definitely not a misjudgment from Your Majesty. I have been in the army for thirty years and have fought with the Tartars for more than a hundred battles. I have never seen such a battle. I can use several times the enemy's forces, regardless of casualties, only Diaoyu City has ever seen it!" Zhang Shijie sent a message to send a command to quickly dispatch the Right Army to help. Seeing His Majesty's face was unhappy, he knew that he was resentful of the "miscalculation", and quickly persuaded him.

"I am too confident and did not expect Ali Hague to make a desperate attempt to fight quickly regardless of the hasty casualties. At the same time, I went to seek completeness, worried that the enemy would attack the east and west, so I was reluctant to transfer the troops from all over the country." Zhao Bing sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. Those who are planning for the overall situation are not the gains and losses of a city and a place." Zhang Shijie said hurriedly.

"No, my small mistake may determine the life and death of thousands of people, and a wrong judgment may cost thousands of lives. But I am not a good commander. If it weren't for the repeated mentions of Shu, today would have been wrong!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said with shame. He also understood that there is no shortcut to rule a country and leading an army. It is not something that can be done by just being clever.

"Your Majesty is so wise that I admire you!" The little emperor made self-criticism. What else could Zhang Shijie say, bowing and politely speaking. And the heart was filled with turmoil. If Emperor Deyou had half of the efforts of the little emperor, the Song Dynasty would not have been forced into this small place.

"Shishou, I have some ideas about watching the game today, but I don't know if it's appropriate. I would like to ask Shuji to give me some advice." Zhao Bingxu helped me and said.

"Your Majesty, please speak, I dare not do my best!" Zhang Shijie bowed again with a little panic after hearing this.

"This is just a gossip about our monarch and ministers. There is no need to be too polite to the general!" Zhao Bing had no choice but to find someone to chat with him. He kept giving gifts and avoiding the gifts. He helped each other again.

"I see that once the navy is dispatched, it will be all the battalions, but it is not formed due to different wars. If we are like the infantry's spear camp, bow camp, crossbow camp, and cavalry camp, we can send different army formations to the battle according to different tasks?"

"Your Majesty means to form a rocket ship, gunship, dragon ship and transport ship. If there is any war, you can draw from each army to form a separate army!" Zhang Shijie thought for a while and asked.

"Well, that's exactly what it means. I think it can be further refined and formed separately according to the size of the ship! Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"I think this strategy is feasible, but I will make some arrangements. However, I think we can also integrate the crossbow and rocket battalions of each army into an army and deploy it according to the war. There will be no situation where the army will be unable to intercept the enemy ships to rush to the shore due to insufficient firepower!"

"The Sir Shu has a good discussion. I consider that the Privy Council can add artillery, baggage, infantry, cavalry and naval yamen, and reorganize the three yamen, including the former hall, the guards' personal army, the infantry and other yamen, and are in charge of each army." Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is very important, so I should discuss it with you all the prime ministers before making a decision!" Zhang Shijie hesitated. As His Majesty thought, it was a way to change the ancestors. If it was not done well, it would cause a controversy. How dare he agree to the little emperor!

"Well, this matter is not easy to decide, and we still need to seek opinions from the army!" Zhao Bing thought about it. Changing the military system not only involves officials and only adjustments, but also changes the strong and weak branches set by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and maintains the national policy of centralization. It is not wrong for Zhang Shijie to be so cautious, right now.

"Report to Your Majesty, the commanding ships in Ali Hague are moving south, and a large number of warships are approaching the estuary!" The situation changed again while speaking, Guan Tongshou reported.

"Oh!" Zhao Bing shouted in surprise, picked up the telescope and looked at the sea, but saw a large number of warships surrounding a giant boat and approaching the estuary.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Ali Hague uses the attack on Haitian Island and the west coast of Hekou as bait to attract our troops, and then takes the opportunity to advance along Hebei to force Qiongzhou. In this way, the Right Army cannot move!" Zhang Shijie analyzed.

"I think it's inappropriate. Changing orders every day is a taboo for military strategists. The Right Army should have already set off now. We will send them back and forth. Going back and forth will only miss the opportunity to fight." Zhao Bing thought about it, "But now Ali Hague moves, it also shows that their target is Haikoupu. There is no longer any worries about division of troops to attack it. Other troops can help!"

"Your Majesty makes sense, but the navy has not launched an attack yet. In this way, the central and rear troops may find it difficult to support each army to arrive!" Although Zhang Shijie felt that His Majesty's analysis was good, it was difficult to quench his thirst from afar, so he suggested again.

"Well..." Zhao Bing pondered for a moment, "My guards are still allowed to go into battle. Ni Liang, you can quickly take the two infantry troops to reinforce the rear army, and obey the orders of Commander Zhuang; Zheng Yong, you lead the Dragon fleet to attack the enemy's troop transport ships, and do not seek complete victory, just delay the enemy!"

"Your Majesty, transfer all the guards away. Is this a wrong move?" Zhang Shijie said in shock when he heard this.

"I took the guard camp to take the Sheji River to immediately block the river mouth, block the enemy, and assist the rear army!" Zhao Bing had already made arrangements for himself and answered immediately.

"This..." Zhang Shijie was shocked and wanted to stop him.

"The military situation is like fire, and it cannot be delayed. If the enemy breaks through the defense line, it will go straight to Qiongzhou!" Zhao Bing pointed to the battlefield and said, "Now the enemy has broken through several sand embankments in the rear army, and the two armies are fighting for the death; while the enemy on Haitian Island has already built several floating bridges in the artillery fire and is forcing the crossing.

"How can Your Majesty take risks? If you have any mistakes, don't forgive me for your death!" Zhang Shijie knelt down on one knee and said.

"The Privy Councilor Zhang Shijie accepted my oral order!" Zhao Bing was also anxious and said with a straight face when he saw this.

"I accept the order!" Seeing that the little emperor was flirting with his face, he hurriedly knelt down and said.

"I give you the right to mobilize the garrison, and be sure to defend Haikoupu, otherwise military law will be carried out!" Zhao Bing said, and at the same time, Wang De held the box with military talismans and said.

"I will follow the sages!" Zhang Shijie bowed again, stood up and took over the military talisman.

"Shishou, I am not a coach. Now I have entrusted all my wealth to you, but I can't sit still and see the enemy invade the territory, please!" Zhao Bing bowed.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty takes care of him. Even if I die, I will never let the Tartars take a step into Qiongzhou!" Zhang Shijie was so heartbroken that he was crying. How could he not know that he could mobilize the armies with his military talisman? Just as the young emperor said, this was his life. How could he not dare to move such trust? He also knew that it would be difficult to stop His Majesty.
