"Ladies and gentlemen, after His Highness got on the ship, he gave a miracle medicine to drive out the plague and save everyone's lives, how can the enemy army approach us today and abandon His Highness to steal his life and do what is not as good as pigs and dogs!" Hao Yuntong stood up from the crowd and shouted, and then knelt down facing His Highness, "I am willing to follow His Highness to fight the enemy, and swear not to die as a slave to the country!" ”

"A certain Zhao Da and others are willing to follow His Highness to fight the enemy to the death!" As soon as Hao Yun's voice fell, someone stood up and knelt on one knee and said loudly, and more than a dozen people behind him also came out to kneel.

"Okay, strong man, please get up!" Zhao Yu raised his hand and said weakly, he saw that the figure of the leader was not smaller than Ni Liang, and he couldn't see the appearance of his beard, but he had a bad aura on his body, obviously from the military, and most of the people behind him were also his colleagues in the army. Seeing this, he was secretly happy in his heart, at this time, everyone was fooled by himself, but most of them were still hesitating in their hearts, so they were most afraid of the cold field, but once someone stood up, they would rise up under the herd mentality.

"Zheng Hu of the Sprinkle family is also willing to work with His Royal Highness to fight against the enemy army!" As soon as he got up, another person stood up and said loudly.

"Well, it's good to be in the same boat!" Zhao Yu praised, and at the same time looked up and down at the person who spoke, this person looked like a person with a story, he was about fifty years old, of medium height, with long hair scattered, and the clothes on his body were even more tattered, and his sharp eyes were unwilling.

"I am willing to follow His Highness with Brother Zheng." A group of people stood up again, but their faces were not very good.

"Well, they are all loyal and brave people!" Zhao Yu said with a thumbs up, but he had already seen that these people had already snatched a small boat and were about to escape, but the boss's sudden change of mind made them a little unhappy.

"The grass people Zhuang Shilin is willing to obey His Highness's orders to resist the enemy army in order to repay the kindness of medicine and life." Sure enough, as Zhao Yu expected, someone started, and things were much easier, and someone took refuge while talking, but behind this person were the shipwrights and sailors on the ship.

"I am willing to fight the enemy army with His Highness, although I have no complaints." Seeing this, the other people on the ship knelt down and pledged allegiance, and these people were the sick soldiers and civilians who were sent to the ship, most of them came from various departments and were not familiar with each other, that is, stragglers, and they couldn't survive by fighting alone.

"This king has thanked you, I am still too young to understand military affairs, and the affairs on the ship will be presided over by Lord Liu." At this time, Zhao Hao knew that the situation was stable and under control, and he pulled Liu Huang's shirt and said.

"Obey Lord Liu's orders!" Everyone turned around and saluted Liu Huang, although it was still a little chaotic, but it was much stronger than at the beginning.

"Okay, the enemy ship is approaching, Zhao and Zheng, two strong men, each of you choose a hundred people, look for weapons, guard everywhere, and prepare for battle; Commander Zhou asked you to lead the troops to protect His Highness; Zhuang Yishi, you contact the other two ships to advance and retreat with us. Liu Huangleng woke up after a moment, His Royal Highness was still young and experienced, and it was still too difficult for him to transfer troops, and it was natural for him to be ordered to take over the command as the highest official on the ship.

However, Liu Huang was full of emotion in his heart at this moment, he didn't expect that His Royal Highness, who was dying at this critical moment, would be fearless, and he would say such righteous and awe-inspiring words. Although these words seemed to him to be incomprehensible and unreasonable, they successfully persuaded everyone, stabilized the situation, and united everyone who was scattered and scattered......

After a period of panic, everyone was ready, and the other two ships also approached, but everyone was not optimistic. Not to mention anything else, most of the people on the boat were sick patients who had just slipped back from the death line, all of them had haggard faces, slumped over, their physical strength had obviously not recovered, and their combat effectiveness was definitely much worse than that of the enemy.

But it's not without benefits, everyone wants to open it anyway, and it's better to die in battle with the enemy than to be thrown into the sea after dying of illness. Moreover, the quarantine ship itself is a merchant ship, and the armament must be much worse, and now only half of the people on the ship have weapons after a long period of searching, but this also includes substitutes such as kitchen knives, axes, hammers, harpoons, etc., and more people have wooden sticks and boat pennies in their hands, and the most useful bows and crossbows in water warfare are even more scarce, but there are only a dozen or so, which is not enough to see.

"What to do?" Zhao Hao tapped on the long table, looked at the few 'generals' standing in front of him, frowned and thought, "This will be a battle to the death, but a one-sided slaughter is more likely!" Zhao Yu looked at the approaching enemy ship and clenched his fist and said, no matter how he calculated, the probability of his side winning was less than 0.1 percent, unless God helped, and suddenly dropped a nuclear bomb.

"Your Highness, the enemy ship is still less than five miles away from us, and it will catch up with us before it gets dark!" Gangshou Zhuang Shilin said with a gloomy face, the merchant ships can't outrun the warships with heavy loads, and the first few times they were able to escape were still avoided by taking advantage of the darkness, but this time it seems that they are not so lucky.

"Outside of the banker, where are we now?" Zhao Yu inadvertently swept the storm bottle placed on the table, only to see the suspended precipitation and hazy liquid coexist, he asked with a perk-hearted spirit. And he just learned that this Zhuang Shilin was born in the famous family of Quanzhou, although it is a side branch, but it is also worthy of the name of the outsider, he originally organized a batch of goods to take the Pu family's ship to prepare to go to Goryeo, but he did not expect to be forced by the Song army to requisition the ship, he as the largest merchant on the ship naturally became the captain, that is, the leader.

"Your Highness, we are now in the sea off Zhangzhou, and the nearest place from the shore is also fifty miles, and it is too late to dock." Zhuang Shilin replied that he has been walking on the sea all year round and knows the route very well, which is one of the reasons why he can be the head of the platform.

"There is a shelter nearby, the water is no more than five feet deep, and the size can accommodate a few of our boats." Zhao Yu said.

"This ...... Oh, there is a small island about fifteen miles away from here, shaped like a crescent moon, everyone calls it Crescent Island, there is a shallow bay with a circle of ten miles in the middle and communicates with the sea, the sea mouth is twenty zhang wide, even if the water depth is not more than one zhang at high tide, there are often fishing boats to take shelter there, there is no problem to accommodate our boats. Zhuang Shilin thought for a while and said.

"Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, right?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked again.

"Your Highness, today is the sixteenth!" Zhuang Shilin replied, but he was in such a hurry in his heart, he was burning his eyebrows, and His Royal Highness asked nonsense, no matter how smart the child is, he is still a child!

"Does Your Highness want to take advantage of the low tide to enter Crescent Island to take refuge?" Zhao Da, who had not spoken, interjected, and when he heard His Highness inquire about the day, he thought that the tide began to ebb on the fifteenth.

"Well, you see that the enemy's warships are all good ships, but our ships are sand ships." Zhao Hao smiled and finally met someone who understood.

Fuchuan is a common name for the coastal point-bottom sea vessels in Fujian and Zhejiang, which are famous for sailing in the South China Sea and the open sea. The bottom of the boat is pointed and broad, the bow and tail are high, and there are guards on both sides. The whole ship is divided into four layers, the lower layer is equipped with earth and stone ballast, the second floor houses soldiers, the third floor is the main operation place, and the upper floor is the combat site. The first is high, and there is a strong impact device, which can plow and sink enemy ships by pressing down on the wind, and win with more ship strength, and it is an excellent deep-sea warship.

The Yuan Army's naval division used the Fu Ship as the main warship, but the Fu Boat had a deep draft and was greatly affected by the tides. The bottom of the sand boat can sit on the beach, and it is not afraid of running aground. Safe in the wind and waves. Especially when the wind direction and tide direction are different, because the bottom is flat and the draft is shallow, the influence of the tide is relatively small, Zhao Yu just wanted to use the respective characteristics of the two ships to avoid the pursuit of the enemy.

"Your Highness, but once we enter the shallow bay, the enemy only needs to block the sea, we will not be able to sail out, and we will not be able to enter the shallow bay when the tide rises tomorrow, and we will not be able to escape!" Zhao Da exclaimed after confirming His Highness's meaning, wouldn't that be like a turtle in the urn!

"Don't worry, this king has his own plan to retreat from the enemy." Zhao Yu still said with a smile.

"The enemy ship is less than five miles away from us, and it is about to catch up, so why don't we listen to His Highness's strategy and avoid it for a while before making plans." Zheng Hu saw that the enemy ship was rapidly approaching, and hurriedly said, he also knew that once he was caught up by the enemy, his own chance of victory was almost none.

"Well, it's okay, just do what Your Highness wants." Liu Huang saw that everyone was looking at him, and understood that everyone still had reservations about His Royal Highness, waiting for him to finally make up his mind. Now there is no better way, and I can only do this, hoping that tomorrow the Song army of the brigade will find them and come to the rescue.

"Okay, Zhao and Zheng, it will take an hour to enter Crescent Island, and the Tartar ship is fast, please throw the useless things in the cabin into the sea to reduce the weight." Zhuang Shilin saw Liu Huang patting the board, gritted his teeth and said, in fact, his heart also hurt very much, how can there be useless things in the cabin, they are all bought with money, but now it is important to save his life......
