The enemy's arrowhead was three tall vanguard ships. Their target was the Emperor Boat in the center of the periphery, and they wanted to withstand the attack of the Song army's firearms with their strong hull, so as to achieve the goal of fighting over the ship and killing the flag and capturing the commander. But this time they made a mistake in the calculation and underestimated the power of the crossbow. The shells fired by the heavy crossbow easily penetrated the front of the bow of the ship overlapping the four-layer gangway. The shells that had not yet lost their strength penetrated several shelves of the watertight cabin before exploding in the bottom cabin.

Five kilograms of gunpowder sounded not much, but in ancient times, one kilogram was equal to sixteen taels, equivalent to nine kilograms now. Most sea ships had sharp bottoms, and the space of the bottom cabin was small. The explosion of the flower bomb in a small space was much greater than that of the empty surface. With the muffled sound, Zhao Bing watched as the part of the enemy vanguard ship approaching the waterline collapsed several holes more than two feet wide by the explosion. Although it did not sink immediately for the time being, the sea water had already poured in from it, and even if it was no longer shot, it would not last long.

Zhao Bing's order was five consecutive shots, so everyone would strictly abide by it. After the order was executed, even if it was only 50% hit rate, these forward ships were hit with holes, with heavy casualties, and struggling on the sea like a drowning man. As they were struggling, they were stalkingly out of the water, and the sailors on it rushed to the water and rushing to escape. However, the sacrifice of the forward ship was not worthless. With the blocking of these flesh shields, the warship behind took the opportunity to follow forward and pass through the gap and approach the Song army's formation.

"The medium-sized crossbow cannon has five kilograms of flowering bullets, seven points of fuse, the target is the enemy ship, and three consecutive shots!"

"The heavy crossbow cannon has five kilograms of flowering bullets, the target's wings are exposed to the enemy ships, and shoot freely!" Zhao Bing gave two more orders.

The enemy's vanguard formation was triangular, and the number of ships increased accordingly, which was also the most attacking part. The Song army Sheji was in the formation, equipped with the most crossbows and the most fierce firepower. The five large warships arranged on both sides were second, and the medium-sized warships scattered on both sides were relatively weakest in fire, but the number was the largest. Both sides regarded the most elite power as the middle, just like a showdown between the spear and the strong shield, which was completely a desperate fight. This seemed accidental, but it was inevitable.

Zhao Bing has calculated that Zhang Hongfan has failed continuously and his strength has been greatly reduced. In addition, the time for the ebb is coming, and he has no strength or time to deal with him. He has to give up the time-consuming and laborious tactics of two wings, breaking through the flanks; or feint attacks on the front, attacking behind the back; or advancing on both sides, blooming in the center, etc. He can only concentrate all his strength and fight a decisive battle in the most direct and fastest way. But in the current situation, Zhang Hongfan's spear was obviously beaten by the shield.

What Zhao Bing is doing now is to use a crossbow to consume Zhang Hongfan's sharpest spear tip little by little, smash the enemy's morale to the bottom of the sea. Then he took advantage of the momentum to attack and disperse the enemy's fleet. Although the guards had fought several times, they mostly used firearms to attack the enemy, and their strength was basically intact. There were more than 12,000 soldiers to fight, which was equivalent to the enemy's troops that had been consumed several times. But they were all tigers in the cage, and the enemy's teeth had been broken and the wolf with their claws were pulled out. The victory and outcome of the two battles can be seen.

"Heavy, medium-sized crossbow cannons loaded with ten kilograms of flowering bullets, targeting the enemy hull; small crossbow cannons loaded with two kilograms of flowering bullets, targeting the enemy ships and soldiers, and shoot ten consecutive shots!" The enemy's vanguard fleet had been knocked out for two consecutive rounds, and they still bravely stepped forward, but the degree of blocking the destroyed enemy ships had decreased, but they rushed within 200 steps, and the number also increased proportionally, with as many as forty ships on the front. Zhao Bing also took a heavy move.

This round of artillery bombardment was even more violent and lasting, with the explosions connected together, as if the world was trembling, but Zhao Bing realized that he was trembling at this moment, and his emotions were not changed when he looked at the sunken enemy ships. However, the officials who were protecting the harem were all not very good, and they didn't seem to know where to put their nervous hands and feet, let alone talking and arguing endlessly as usual. However, what made him relieved was that no one suggested to him to retreat and escape.

"When is it?" Zhao Bing asked with a look of his face. He cursed in his heart that it was really troublesome. He had no habit of wearing watches on the boat in his previous life, so now he either listened more or went to the inner cabin to see the large leak-shaped pot, thinking that he would have to make a watch hanging in the command cabin when he had time.

"Your Majesty, it's the right hour!" Wang De trotted and reported.

"Tell Chen Renweng that he should not tease the defeated generals, and immediately move outside the sea entrance to rest and prepare to catch big fish!" Zhao Bing nodded. The time for the ebb was coming. Chen Renweng was still leading a dragon boat to hit the enemy's rear troops who were stopped by rockets. He felt that it was almost done and it was time to take a break.

"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Zhang sent someone to come, but did you see him?" Cai Qiao came over and reported.

"Oh, let him come up!" Zhao Bing was a little surprised. This guy knew to come to him, "Zheng Yong, you command me, I'll go see him!"...

"The last general Zhang Ba, the commander of the commander of Taifu Zhang, paid homage to Your Majesty!" After a while, a general with neat armor boarded the ship. Of course, the knife at his waist had been confiscated. When he saw the emperor, he immediately bowed to him.

"No gift, can the Empress Dowager be safe?" Zhao Bing raised his hand and signaled him to get up and ask.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor protected the Queen Mother's boat and rushed out of the water camp. Now he has arrived in Dongnengzhou for a while. Everything is fine for the Queen Mother, I am just worried about Your Majesty!" Zhang Ba bowed and replied.

"Oh, the Empress Dowager will escape from danger!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor asked Your Majesty to move, and the tide would be unable to withdraw when it was reduced!" Zhang Ba said.

"Your Majesty, this person is unknown. Maybe he is a spy from the enemy. Those who come to deceive Your Majesty must not go!" 6 Xiuo immediately stopped him after hearing this.

"The 6th prime minister, the last general is indeed the subordinate of the Taifu, and is definitely not a spy from the enemy. The truth is also what he reposted!" Zhang Ba was startled and quickly explained.

"Hmph, there are countless generals under the command of the Grand Tutor, who knows whether you are true or not, you are pushed to kill him!" 6 Xiufu said sternly.

"6Prime Minister, please spare me. The last general is definitely not a rebellion. Please observe clearly!" Zhang Ba was frightened and knelt down and said.

"Even if you are, you escape at the last minute and ignore Your Majesty's safety, it is also a death sentence!" 6 Xiufu pointed at Zhang Ba's nose and shouted.

"Sir 6, when the Taifu broke through, he sent someone to inform His Majesty, but the emperor's boat was in the formation and the sky was dark, so it was impossible to find it. The situation was critical, so the Taifu protected the Queen Mother and left first, not the last general!" Zhang Ba hurriedly defended.
