Zhao Bingyan said this is what he wants.
He told you that there is not much food, you cannot stay long, and the blockade must be broken as soon as possible.
The two prime ministers looked at me and I looked at you. They felt that what Zhao Bingyan said was reasonable, but they were worried that they would not be able to defeat them due to the disparity in strength.
Concubine Yang Shu believed in Zhao Bingyan extremely. It’s also been a long time of continuous failure, and I hope to see a victory. She said decisively: "Just do what the King of Han wants. The Tatars will be furious when they see that we can still eat pork."
Zhao Bingyan wanted to laugh when he heard this, but before he could laugh, the maid next to the Queen Mother burst into laughter.
Everyone said: "That's good, just do it like this."
The next day, the Yuan army's fleet of eight and ten ships circled around Naozhou. They found smoke chatting over Zhang Shijie's tent near Nangang. They immediately fired at the tent. The Song army waited for the enemy ships to approach before fighting back. Big bags of hot pig bones were thrown onto the Yuan army ship.
The Yuan army was attacked by pig bones and immediately reported to Zhang Hongfan.
Zhang Hongfan was confused when he saw the Song Army's pig bone shells. He didn't know what the Song Army was up to.
The generals on his left and right were salivating at the smell of the bones. They were drifting on the sea like the Song army, and they had not eaten pork for several days.
The staff told him that this was a demonstration by the Song Army, and told the commander that they had meat and rice to eat. Marshal looks at the pocket and there is still a lot of rice. We can't trap them to death.
Zhang Hongfan simply didn't believe that the Song army, which was already at the end of its rope, could actually eat big fish, meat and fragrant rice.
But the pocket containing the pork bones was obviously full of rice grains, and it was exuding an alluring aroma of meat.
The fellow was angry and ordered an attack tomorrow. He destroyed the Song army and asked the emperor for credit.
On Naozhou Island, Zhang Shijie's tent was hit by artillery fire from the Yuan army. The Song army only used pig bones to demonstrate but did not actually fight back.
This girl was seriously dissatisfied and went to Zhao Bingyan to question him.
He said he had already asked the general to move, so why did he still stay where he was? The Privy Councilor knew that the Yuan army's returning artillery could cover the coast of the island but still took the risk to stay there. You can't blame me for not warning you.
Zhang Shijie was speechless.
The Yuan army bombarded his residence, causing dozens of casualties in minutes.
This girl was no longer reserved and moved to the center of the island honestly.
The next day, the Yuan army came to provoke again. They found that North Port was too deep and had Song trebuchets on both sides of the bank to attack, making it too difficult to attack, so they concentrated their ships to attack South Port.
Zhao Bingyan wanted this effect. He asked the troops defending the island to hide their strength and gradually bring the enemy in close to the shore. He himself took Xiao Chengzhang's artillery to observe from a high place, and personally taught them range measurement, calibrating and shooting Zhu Yuan.
The Yuan army fought for a long time without making any progress, and retreated after receiving a lot of pig bones.
Zhang Hongfan was depressed when he heard that his men had received Song Jun's pork bones and mixed them with rice to cook. They tasted delicious.
The Yuan army and even the Song army liked the remaining bones that had been broken and sucked out of the marrow. It is conceivable that they had not seen meat or fish for many days.
The same goes for these Yuan troops, who will dig in wherever there is benefit.
The next day, there were actually hundreds of Yuan army warships focused on attacking Nangang, and each warship rowed forward desperately.
For no other reason than to gnaw bones, they competed to withstand the bombing of pig bones by the Song army.
Zhao Bingyan burst out laughing when he saw this scene. He asked Xiao Chengzhang next to him if he knew what to do.
Xiao Chengzhang said excitedly that the enemy ships were so densely packed that they were suitable for fire attacks.
Zhao Bingyan shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start work."
The mortars immediately fired incendiary bombs at the enemy ships and ignited them. In the blink of an eye, the sky over Nangang became thick with smoke. A large number of Yuan troops jumped into the sea, abandoned the ships and fled.
Liu Shiyong, who was guarding the shore, laughed happily, and Geng immediately ordered to pursue and seize the ship.
The two sides fought until the tide rose in the afternoon, and the Song army captured more than fifty warships and won a complete victory.
Privy Councilor Zhang Shijie simply did not believe that Zhao Bingyan could defeat the Yuan army. Just now he was teasing his staff to see how Zhao Bingyan was defeated.
When he saw with his own eyes that the battle commanded by Zhao Bingyan easily defeated the Yuan army, he was filled with admiration. He never imagined that the bones they ate leftover could play such a huge role.
When the Queen Mother Yang Shufei learned of the victory of the Song Army, she felt happy. She drank a cup of Longjing tea and had a rare chat with Grandma Liu. She said happily: "The Ai family knew that Bingyan would win, right."
Seeing that she looked like a girl named Huaichun, Aunt Liu knew Yang Shufei's intentions and followed her wishes and said, "How can the King of Han, whom the Queen Mother personally ennobles, be wrong? He will definitely kill all the Northern Barbarians."
Both the master and the servant were smiling.
Zhang Hongfan, the commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army, was seriously unhappy.
After receiving the report of the fierce battle in Nangang, this guy immediately led troops to rush for reinforcements. When he saw the thick smoke billowing from the south of Naozhou, he knew that his fleet had fallen into the Song army's fire attack plan again, and he was so angry that he vomited blood.
After rescuing the remnants of the soldiers and returning home, the man immediately improved military discipline and killed three Qianhu ghosts who were fighting for pig bones in one go.
The Yuan army suddenly became obedient and parked all the warships in a row in the bay of Guitou Island in the west, leaving only the sentry boats to monitor the sea.
At night, Zhao Bingyan deployed a counterattack.
He told the generals: At dawn when the tide rises, we will counterattack the Yuan army, and the focus is to seize the ship.
Although the generals have gained a lot of confidence, they are still beating the drum in their hearts to defeat the Yuan army. Because they were already frightened by the Yuan army chasing them.
Zhao Bingyan pointed to the battle map and said: "The enemy is in Guitou Bay, ten miles away from us. If we rush up and surround them, we will definitely not be able to escape with a few boats."
Chen Qilin, deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, said that there is a harbor to the west of Guitou Island, and the Yuan army also has ships there.
He nodded and said that we couldn't care about that side, so we let the ship there escape. Just like the last time we captured Leizhou, after seizing the ship, we immediately disguised ourselves as broken soldiers, mixed in, rushed forward, and occupied Leizhou again.
Zhang Shijie shook his head like a rattle and said, "One plan cannot be used twice. Can't we put on makeup and go to the city again?"
Zhao Bingyan grinned and said, "If the general doesn't believe it, then it can definitely be done."
Sun Huchen asked him nervously how to seize the ship? The enemy's sentry ship will spot our army from a long distance away.
He laughed and said that the mountain man had his own clever plan and prepared thirty light boats for me. The boatmen must be first-rate masters.
All you have to do is follow me and pick up the boat.
After the arrangements were made, he called Chen Qilin to his side and asked: "Is there any master of night walking who is not afraid of death? I need thirty people."
Chen Qilin said: "Yes, no one in the Imperial City Division Operation Camp is afraid of death."
He said: "Okay, let's gather at the dock in the early morning."
Zhao Bingyan dragged out bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, and tear gas from the warehouse to the dock, and asked everyone to put them on and bring them with them. No careless response was allowed.
He told everyone that this battle can only be advanced and not retreated, and it all depends on our own lives. Each ship will approach the enemy ship within ten steps and attack.
Zhao Bingyan explained to them the functions of this new weapon, tear gas, and required the death squads to complete the bombing mission of thirty ships before returning.
Everyone immediately began to familiarize themselves with the equipment.
At dawn, Zhao Bingyan led the team to set off and followed the rising tide to make paddles with their hands to Zhang Hongfan's camp. When the enemy sentry ship found them, they were unable to escape. There was a fierce battle between the two sides, and the death squad successfully broke through the blockade and entered the camp.
At this time, the Yuan army received the warning, and the soldiers on the enemy ship were already panicking. They ran to their respective fighting positions and shot arrows aimlessly at the sea.
Zhao Bingyan squatted in the boat and shouted: "Come on." He threw tear gas at the first boat. He immediately heard the Yuan troops on the boat scream, and each boat quickly launched an attack.
The large ships in the Yuan army's water stronghold were surrounded by smoke one after another. The soldiers had tears in their eyes. They thought the ships were on fire and jumped into the sea to take refuge. For a while, the noise was loud.
The kamikaze quickly completed its bombing mission and returned home.
At this time, Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen had already led the fleet up. The soldiers easily climbed onto the enemy ship and chopped down the Yuan soldiers who covered their eyes and shouted and threw them into the sea.
Zhao Bingyan boarded Xiao Chengzhang's artillery ship. The cannons were already firing at the enemy camp, and enemy ships continued to explode and catch fire.
