The navy of the Song Army can be said to be the best in the world, and it is not comparable to the navy of the Yuan Army who just learned to row. Once the Song army untied the anchor chain, it released the flexibility of soldiers at all levels. Every ship can be called a dragon on the water, and it will naturally not fall behind in the battle with the Yuan army.
At this moment, both sides were licking their wounds. Zhang Hongfan's Yuan army had been engaged in successive battles and had lost a large number of troops before they had time to replenish them.
Although Zhao Bingyan does not have many regular troops, most of them are civilian ships. However, they were supplemented by the civilian army who lived and died together, and their numbers were slightly superior.
Now that Song Jun had fresh water and super delicious self-heating rice, his physical strength was rapidly recovering, and he was increasingly confident of defeating Zhang Hongfan.
Zhang Hongfan is still dreaming.
This man believed that Li Heng's army was still there, and the water stronghold to the north of the Song army would have suffered a lot from Li Heng's fire attack. Li Heng would seize the opportunity to attack from both sides when he attacked, and the Song army, which only had half a life, would definitely be vulnerable.
Inside the Song Army's water stronghold, Zhao Bingyan took a short break and inspected the position. Wang Bao had already rebuilt the broken water stronghold.
He told the brothers to keep their eyes open and not to be careless, and to rush to repair their equipment when they were full.
Zhao Bingyan saw that there were fewer and fewer boats on fire in the water village. Although there were still bursts of crying and wailing, they gradually calmed down and felt much better.
After giving some instructions, he took a boat and sailed towards Yamen.
Sun Huchen was still nervously tightening the row boat.
Zhao Bingyan asked him to sink all the boats in the shallow water on both sides to resolutely block the Yuan army and let the people rest assured for a day.
The tiger minister confidently said that the front line was much shorter and there was no fear of the Tatars. The brothers vowed not to let the Tatars enter the cliff mouth.
Zhao Bingyan was very satisfied and took five hundred young men to land on a fast boat and headed for the Yamen Fort. Before they were even halfway through the journey, there were explosions and shouts of death coming from the top of the cliff.
Haha, Zhang Hongfan thought of getting together with him again and wanted to recapture Yamen.
The brothers climbed up desperately.
Zhao Bingyan climbed up to the fort. Soldiers from both sides were already fighting together, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. He wrapped a white towel around his left arm, drew out his sword and joined the battle group. After a desperate fight, he forced the Yuan army back and regained his footing.
Chen Qilin, the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, praised his accurate calculation and how dangerous it was that the enemy soldiers came to seize the fort.
He asked Shao Shao to flatter him, continued the pursuit, and drove the remaining Yuan troops into the sea.
Zhao Bingyan found a hiding place, released two mortars and ten boxes of incendiary artillery shells and shouted: "Mr. Zhuge has sent weapons, come and move them."
A team leader named Xiao Chengzhang immediately brought people to move it.
Zhao Bingyan asked him to find ten more flexible soldiers. He began to regard this group of soldiers as the first artillery of the Guards and taught these soldiers how to use mortars step by step.
These guys touched Mr. Zhuge's top-notch artifact and took it as much as they liked. They steadily set up the barrel and prepared the ammunition as if they were serving their little wives.
At this time, the tide was rising, and the ships of the Yuan army entered the cliff in a steady stream without distinction, and were already fighting with Sun Huchen's defenders.
Seeing that the southeast wind was strong and it was a good time to set fire, Zhao Bingyan shouted: "Fire the cannon."
Incendiary bombs were immediately fired from the mortar tube.
He constantly taught the soldiers to adjust the shooting angle, and exploded from the farthest point of the outer sea, setting the Yuan army's ships on fire one by one, and the fire quickly spread to Yamen.
Zhang Hongfan, the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army, reported that the rear team was on fire. Before the cause of the fire could be figured out, it became a prairie fire.
As the typhoon approached, the southeasterly wind became stronger and stronger. Large ships in his fleet continued to catch fire, and the fleet was too close together. The fire rushed towards Yamen with a sweeping force. Many soldiers on the warships had already jumped out of despair. ocean.
Zhang Hongfan looked at this scene in disbelief and roared hysterically: "Attack, attack, rush over and kill all the little Nanman."
Because of the fire burning behind their buttocks, the Yuan army could not retreat at all and could only rush towards the Song army's position desperately.
Seeing the warships of the Yuan army on fire one after another, the entire cliff mouth was already red. Soldiers who did not want to be burned kept jumping into the sea and swimming into the cliff mouth.
Seeing this scene, Sun Huchen lamented Zhao Bingyan's plan.
He had already prepared kerosene and other combustion aids, and planned to arrange for the soldiers to set fire to the boats after exiting the platoon. An insurmountable wall of fire immediately formed at the cliff gate.
The Song army went down to the fast boats at the back to capture prisoners. Each warship was happily competing to see who could capture more prisoners.
Seeing that the situation was over, Zhang Hongfan scolded Li Heng for his inability to attack at the same time. He told him that he had suffered a disastrous defeat and that he must read the book for him when he returned.
The surrounding guards ignored the commander's feelings and took his arms to jump into the sea. Because of Zhang Hongfan's relationship, these guys didn't dare to swim into the cliff mouth. They were all afraid of being caught by the Song army and cut into pieces, so they swam out with all their strength despite the wind and waves.
However, the sea wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was not easy to escape. Many Yuan soldiers used daggers and broadswords to pierce the bottom of the boat in search of a handhold, relying on the burning ship to escape desperately.
Zhao Bingyan walked down the clifftop fort and returned to the water village. The people inside shouted from afar: "Commander Zhao is so mighty, Commander Zhao is so brave." After the disaster, everyone shouted happily like celebrating the New Year.
Wu Qingyuan led his elders to offer him wine and thanked the commander for saving tens of thousands of people in Shuizhai.
Zhao Bingyan was so happy that he took over and fucked with his neck. On the spot, he appointed Wu Qingyuan as the temporary general manager of the water village, and the Huang family and Chen family as deputy general managers. He urged the people to form a team to complete the search, rescue and cleanup as soon as possible.
The common people supported him, cheering and seeing him off all the way.
Zhao Bingyan returned to the command ship to rest for a while.
There was still a strong wind outside the cliff mouth, and Zhang Hongfan's warship was almost burned to the ground. With the help of his personal guards, the man finally climbed onto the rocks on the shore and was trembling uncontrollably.
The personal guard reported: "The evil wind on the sea is too strong and it is impossible to sail the boat. We can only wait for the evil wind to pass before trying to leave." A group of soldiers bravely hugged Zhang Hongquan in the center to keep warm.
Typhoons are often accompanied by heavy rains. Before Zhang Hongfan could say anything, the pouring rain came and the temperature dropped sharply. These brave soldiers and generals of the Yuan Dynasty suddenly encountered a combination of ice and fire, and they were all shivering in the violent storm.
After the rain and the sky cleared, Zhao Bingyan took a nap and then went out to check on the dragon boat.
The little emperor is gone, but the royal majesty is still there. No one in the water village dares to go to the dragon boat to violate taboos. It was a pity that he saw the messy dragon boat, jewelry, jades, and fine porcelain scattered all over the floor. In the study, there was a picture of Taizu's taste after tasting that the late emperor loved. Haha, this is a priceless picture. He asked the pollen elf to put away all the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
After getting off the dragon boat, he saw Wu Qingyuan coming over and told him to invite several general managers to discuss matters in the commander's tent in the afternoon to discuss the next step.
Wu Qingyuan asked him: "Aren't you waiting here for the Queen Mother?"
Zhao Bingyan smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Wu didn't know something. When General Zhang broke through, he never said he would come back."
Wu Qingyuan understood immediately and told him to prepare now.
In the afternoon, it was already sunny and sunny in Yashan, and Zhao Bingyan summoned the generals to discuss matters.
He clearly told his colleagues that the general had broken out of the encirclement while protecting the young emperor and the queen mother, and his whereabouts were unknown. Let us discuss together what to do.
Everyone knew that the imperial court had left them at Yashan as a force to contain the Yuan army. They suddenly felt helpless and everyone looked at him in frustration.
Zhao Bingyan told them: "Right now, we are short of food, have many wounded, and have not been able to rest for a long time. We must find a relatively safe place to rest."
The generals and Wu Qingyuan all turned their attention to Zhao Bingyan.
He said: "I plan to take you to Leizhou Mansion, and a little further to Annan." Everyone immediately started a discussion.
Annan, also called Dayue Chen Dynasty, was a vassal state of the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, these ancient people believed that Annan was a barbarian land and were unwilling to go there. Several people told him that the imperial court had previously rejected the plan to go south to Annan.
The city of Leizhou has thick walls. General Zhang has been unable to attack Leizhou for a long time, so he cannot go here.
Zhao Bingyan explained patiently, telling them that although they had won a great victory, they only won by luck due to the right time and place, but in fact they were extremely weak.
Although Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were defeated, the strength of the Yuan army is still there. Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will come up at once. At this time, the two thieves should flee to Guangzhou to organize troops. If we go east to Guangzhou again, we will definitely fight with the Yuan army. The army collided with each other, and there were fierce battles one after another.
