Chapter 373 Unpredictable

Liu Shiyong was basically in an idle state since he was defeated by Changzhou. He also volunteered to Zhang Shijie to hope to return to the battlefield and proposed a plan to withdraw troops to the court, but he was all over the sea and lost his news. He gradually became cold and became his best friend. He also had his own opinions on the current situation of the war, but he had nowhere to tell. Unexpectedly, he met a "soul-hearted person" who was sympathetic. After a conversation, he found that His Majesty was very familiar with the war and had a good analysis, which surprised him very much.

"Your Majesty said that, but it's good to relieve boredom!" Liu Shiyong heard His Majesty's words and had a hard time relaxing, but he had good advice. He was dissatisfied with his obedience. He wanted to hear what his Majesty has "high ideas". Of course, the Imperial wine is really better than the inferior wine sold in the Cao Market. Most of the jar of wine is half drunk, and he speaks freely.

"Oh, it's actually very simple." Zhao Bing glanced at Liu Shiyong, who was already sixty-six times drunk, and sighed softly.

"Simple?! I ask your Majesty for advice!" Liu Shiyong, who was not convinced in his heart, had already classified himself as a mediocre person and said with a tribute.

"Okay, our monarch and ministers are just chatting." Zhao Bing smiled inwardly, "We will not say much after missing a good opportunity. At this moment, we decide to counterattack, and we should send a cliff boat to the shallow as soon as possible while the tide rises. In this way, even if we fail to hit a single attack, we can retreat safely and never miss the opportunity as we are now. At the same time, we should send large warships out of the cliff gate and attack the enemy while the current is flowing. At this time, the enemy ships are sailing against the current. Our army is occupying the right time and place, and attacking forward and backward will definitely cause severe damage to the enemy. If it fails, it can also retreat quickly when the tide is receding."

"In the water battle, the most important thing is to keep going with the flow and the wind. If you get one, you will be half defeated. Your Majesty really thought it cleverly. You can use the benefits of the tide to win and attack, and you can retreat. You have become invincible before the battle. I really admire you. But I have something unknown. Why didn't you say this strategy just now?" Liu Shiyong thought about it and said.

"You haven't heard that the ship just reported that there were about 300 enemy ships. Earlier, Zhang Hongfan led more than 500 warships from Chaoyang to the sea, and Li Heng had already gone into the sea from Guangzhou, but he has appeared so far. This is a trap. But I can't transfer troops to find out the cause, nor can I get the latest battle report, so I can only be more cautious and would rather miss the opportunity than let the enemy take advantage of the situation." Zhao Bing said helplessly.

"Where will Your Majesty set up an ambush between the Li Heng fleet and the unattended Chaoyang fleet?" Liu Shiyong felt that what His Majesty said was reasonable and asked.

"I don't know, I guess they are lost!" Zhao Bing spread his hands and shrugged again.

‘Puff…’ Liu Shiyong almost vomited out the wine he drank yesterday after hearing this. His Majesty actually missed the opportunity to annihilate the enemy because of this reason, making him unaware of what to say, “Your Majesty, this…hehehe!”

"Haha, does General Liu feel a pity?" Zhao Bing patted his back a few times and smiled.

"Your Majesty, OK! 6 Xiang..." Master Liu was brave enough to caress his Majesty and was somewhat flattered and hurriedly thanked him, but saw 6 Xiangs and others standing at the hatch not far behind him.

"Your Majesty, I miss the opportunity to fight, so please punish me!" After listening for a long time, Hideo Hideo could not understand that it was his hesitation and distrust that caused him to miss the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and bowed to apologize.

"The 6th Prince is not polite. As I have said just now, I am talking to General Liu on paper that I cannot be true. The fighter opportunity is fleeting and the mistake has been made and it is beyond the reach of manpower. Don't blame yourself!" Zhao Bing stretched out his hand and said.

"Your Majesty think what's going on right now?" 6 Hideo stood up and asked again. At this moment, there was less suspicion and more trust on his face.

"I don't know either, but I believe that life is not in the sky, but in humans." Zhao Bing shook his head and looked at the direction of the cliff gate.

"Fate is not in heaven, but in man's work. I remember it!" 6 Xiufu said again.

"Okay, the cabin is cool, everyone should go back!" Zhao Bing said with a smile...

As Zhao Bing said, the fleet heading to the north of the island returned in vain. Although everyone felt sorry but had no choice, there was even greater panic. The next day, Zhang Hongfan's fleet went around from the east of the island and turned to the south to enter the Yamen Haikou, and lined up a long snake to fight the first battle with the Song Junsheng. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and it was difficult to decide the outcome. The enemy retreated to the small island on the east side of the Haikou to moor ships and continued to block the Haikou.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Hongfan also realized that he was blocked by the enemy and the situation was not good for him, but he still did not dare to attack the enemy with a few and fought with the enemy. He only sent generals to challenge the camp. The result was imagined that he was beaten to the point of leaving and not returning by Zhang Hongfan. Seeing that he was still playing the infantry warriors, Zhao Bing was so angry that he cursed him. It can be seen that he still did not learn from his lessons and used the infantry combat methods to command the navy. After successive failures, Zhang Shijie still refused to learn from the lessons. He also used the small troops to use night attacks and assaults to fight, and fought with the enemy for more than ten battles, but no victory was achieved, which greatly reduced the morale of the Song army.

However, Zhang Hongfan was not idle. While resisting the small-scale attack of the Song army in the early stages of the war, he continued to block the Haikou. He secretly sent an army to carry the infantry to the old land of the Yashan Palace and re-established a camp, hoping to block the supply of the Song army's Chaixin and Danshui. He also ordered the troops on the island to set up a catapult to bombard the Central Army fleet moored in the inland sea. Although the attack was far away and difficult to work, it put great pressure on the Song army and made the Queen Mother panic. Zhang Shijie ordered the Central Army to move south to avoid the stone bombs thrown by the enemy's stone thrower.

However, Zhao Bing found that Zhang Hongfan wanted to cut off the plot of water extraction and woodcutting of the Song army, but failed, but suffered a small loss. Because the Song army formed a water camp in the inland sea, the Yuan army's ships could only sail near the shore to avoid being injured by the Song army's stone throwing machine and crossbows in the formation. Most of them were large warships in shallow seas with limited movement, and the number of people on the island was limited. The Song army dispatched water extraction was small warships, which were flexible and flexible. They often took advantage of the gap to pass through the blockade and successfully fetched water, and they would draw cold pieces to intercept the enemy to attack. They actually won several battles with small battles, which made the morale slightly boosted.
