Zhang Shijie looked at the silent Zhao Bingyan, thinking that he had some objections in his heart and refused to obey the military orders. He said righteously: "In order for the Song Dynasty to survive, we must sacrifice our lives for righteousness. What else does General Zhao need?"
Zhao Bingyan shook his head, stood up and straightened his back and said, "No. The general ordered me to stick to the water stronghold and buy as much time as possible for the court."
Zhang Shijie was still worried that he would not obey military orders, but he was happy to hear such a heroic statement. He slapped his shoulders with both hands and praised Zhao Bingyan's loyalty in beautiful words. It was really a blessing for the Song Dynasty court.
Zhao Bingyan had long taken life and death lightly, and bowed and saluted, reminding him that the Yuan army might be deceitful in the afternoon and would use the sound of silk and bamboo as an attack signal to attack the water stronghold. The commander must be vigilant.
Zhang Shijie nodded indifferently and sent him away with a smile.
Zhao Bingyan returned to the command ship and ordered Sun Huchen to take over the defense of five more ships eastward.
Sun Huchen got emotional and told him: "Our unit has already taken on nearly 30% of the defense of the southern city wall. The pressure is too great."
Zhao Bingyan shouted sternly: "Needless to say, the general ordered us to sacrifice our lives to guard the water stronghold and arm all the people in the water stronghold to fight the enemy."
After Sun Huchen left, he took Zhang Qi down to the bottom warehouse and released a large amount of self-heating rice, big knives and plum candy. He asked Zhang Qi to send them out to arm the people and make the soldiers full.
Zhao Bingyan returned to the command room, half-lying on the couch and taking a nap.
He asked the Pollen Elf: "God has entrusted these tens of thousands of people to me. How can I help them survive?"
Pollen Elf said: "The system has unlocked ten 38-gun mortars, two 60-zero mortars and a 40-zero rocket launcher, each with three rounds of ammunition."
Zhao Bingyan got angry after hearing this, and cursed the system for being so cheating and always being so stingy. He had fought so hard until now and only had so few weapons, so he was powerless to save the day.
The pollen elf was also angry, and told him to stop scolding him, and loudly said that his super-dimensional space was far ahead and ranked first in the world.
Then it disappeared.
This girl has a bad temper, haha.
Zhao Bingyan smiled helplessly and went out to select ten archery masters to bring to the bottom warehouse. He took out ten 38-guns and taught them how to use them. Each of them was assigned an assistant to prepare ammunition.
He asked everyone to train quickly. In the next battle, they would have to use the 38-meter cap to kill the enemy.
The soldiers couldn't put it down holding the brand new Sanba Gai, and quickly started training.
After giving instructions, he called his personal guards to the Queen Mother's Fengzhou and asked the Queen Mother to give him ten trumpet musicians.
Concubine Yang Shu's old personal maid, Grandma Liu, immediately went in to report.
Empress Dowager Yang didn't know what the young commander was asking for musicians. She thought that if she fell in love with the sound of silk and bamboo at a young age, she would never fight in the future.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was very ugly, Aunt Liu just ate tea without saying a word and said with a smile: "That young general fought bravely and saved Prime Minister Wen. It makes sense to ask for a musician. Why don't we let him in and see him first?" How he said it."
The Queen Mother nodded, and Nanny Liu immediately came out to announce the edict.
Zhao Bingyan came in to see him and saluted: "To inform the Queen Mother, the Guards are going to practice a new type of charge trumpet and call on Erlang of the Song Dynasty to kill the enemy bravely. At the end of the day, the general came to ask the Queen Mother for permission to equip the Guards of the Song Dynasty with ten trumpeters. I will personally teach and practice the new style of charge."
I see.
Concubine Yang Shu was overjoyed. Seeing the powerful Zhao Bingyan in front of her, she fell in love even more and agreed immediately.
At this time, Su Liuyi, the commander in front of the palace, came over.
Su Liuyi is one of the few generals who can enter and leave Empress Dowager Yang's Fengzhou at will. Seeing Zhao Bingyan inside, Empress Dowager was happy and her face became very ugly.
Zhao Bingyan didn't know what was going on.
Su Liuyi had been waiting around Concubine Yang Shu all day long, and he had already fallen in love with her, and the two of them knew each other tacitly.
Now, Zhao Bingyan, a young general, has emerged from nowhere and has made many military exploits, making Concubine Yang Shu happy. It is obvious that a third party has intervened. This is a ruthless attempt to win love.
Su Liuyi naturally looked ugly after being jealous.
Zhao Bingyan was devoted to the livelihood of the people in Shuizhai, and he still swore plausibly to keep the people safe, and asked the Queen Mother to relax, but he didn't know that he was suddenly identified as the third party by the old lion behind him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was strange, he immediately excused himself and asked to choose a musician.
Zhao Bingyan selected the musicians, entered the water village to find Wu Qingyuan, and asked him to bring in all the respected leaders of the water village to talk, telling them that Zhang Hongfan was attacking from the south and Li Heng was blocking it from the north. The situation was getting more and more critical, and the army and the people must As a family, we fight against the enemy together.
Because of Zhao Bingyan's military regulations of uniformity and equal treatment between soldiers and civilians, he also provided a large amount of self-heating meals to help the poor. Most of the civilian ships gathered in his water village headed by Wu Qingyuan.
Wu Qingyuan introduced him to the Chen family in Fujian and the Huang family in Guangdong. They were both well-known local wealthy families. Each of their families organized their children and picked up swords and guns to prepare for battle at any time.
Zhao Bingyan nodded.
He understood that Wu Qingyuan, including Liang Zhejiang, was from a martial arts family.
He took out the "Eight Breaking Swords" sword technique that he had prepared and gave each person a copy. After demonstrating it three times on the spot, he said: "From now on, this sword technique will be shared by the three families. We will jointly defend the enemy and kill the Tatars." "
The three of them shouted in unison: "Kill the Tatars."
Zhao Bingyan asked them to organize the young and strong people in the water village and form a defensive circle around the civilian ships to prevent the Yuan army from harming their fellow villagers, brothers and sisters.
The three of them felt grateful when they heard that he was protecting the people everywhere, and they all agreed, hoping to give them more swords and guns.
Zhao Bingyan told them that personal guard Zhang Qi was distributing weapons and gave them as many as they wanted.
Back on the command ship, all the generals had gathered, and each one looked at the musicians holding various musical instruments in a daze, thinking that Zhao Bingyan wanted them to sing, perform music, and enjoy themselves.
He told the soldiers: "The Yuan army will change the sound of drums and bugles later to paralyze our army, and we will also change the attack signals to paralyze the enemy."
He took a trumpet and softly played the tune of the charge horn of later generations. The music was exciting, loud and inspiring, and everyone was cheered up. After playing it twice, every musician understood.
Zhao Bingyan asked the good students to practice, and the brothers listened carefully to the sound of the bugle on the command ship. The general will sound the charge trumpet, and the entire army will go into battle to kill the enemy. If the trumpet sounds stop, stay where you are. If the trumpet sounds continue, you must fight bravely to kill the enemy and fight to the death.
All the generals roared in a deep voice: "Fight to the death and never retreat."
Zhao Bingyan dispatched ten gunmen and trumpeters who used 38 big guns, and told them to rest and prepare for the battle.
At this time, the dragon boat in the center of the water village was already approaching Zhang Shijie's front army. Wen Tianxiang followed the command in front of the palace to make Su Liuyi move to protect the Queen Mother Yang Shufei. Lu Xiufu followed General Zhang Shijie to protect the young emperor from breaking out.
Queen Mother Yang looked at the densely packed boats in the water village and said with regret, "It's a sin to abandon them."
Lu Xiufu said resolutely: "Those who achieve great things must cut off immediately. All listen to the general's orders. There is a young general Zhao Bingyan who cuts off the queen. There is no need to worry." Several people left one after another and prepared separately.
The southeast wind is getting stronger and stronger, and a layer of mist rises from the sea, which gradually becomes thicker and thicker. Before the tide rises, the sound of gold, stone, silk and bamboo can be heard from the Yuan army's water village.
The lookout post immediately reported this strange phenomenon to Zhao Bingyan.
Zhao Bingyan sneered: "You just want to hide this trick from me, huh."
He called an order: the Yuan army was about to attack, and the soldiers entered the position. At the same time, report the news to the commander-in-chief.
Thirty minutes after the time passed, Zhao Bingyan expected that the Yuan army was approaching, so he blew the charge horn gently to wake up the soldiers to go into battle, and ordered the rocket launchers to prepare to respond to the enemy.
When there is fog on the sea, if the enemy wants to advance in concealment, they must wrap the warship with a cloth, which will make it harder for the other party to observe it.
Sure enough, Zhao Bingyan made the right bet.
Zhang Hongfan, the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army, ordered the sound of silk and bamboo to be used as an attack signal, covered the fighting ships with waterproof tung oil cloth, and took advantage of the high tide to pull up the sails.
Zhao Bingyan stared coldly at the enemy ships coming like arrows and ordered: "Blow the charge horn and release the arrows."
He personally picked up the trumpet and blew it, and the majestic charge horn immediately spurted out from the high-pitched trumpet, followed by one, two, or ten trumpets blowing the charge horn at the same time.
Zhao Bingyan's soldiers were greatly encouraged by the exciting charge trumpet. The Yuan army felt comfortable but did not know what the Song army was going to do. In panic and hesitation, the Song army's rockets fell one after another, instantly igniting the ships rushing in front.
