Chapter 382: Worried
The next day is the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, and Zhao Yu estimates that everyone hasn't thought it through when something happens! But Zhang Hongfan thought clearly, he must pacify the last remnants of the Song Dynasty, and in the early morning of the same day, he personally led a large number of warships to storm Xingchao Water Village, and at the same time sent warships to block Qiaoji Road again, and the garrison on the island was also strengthened, so that Xingchao fell into the danger of water and salary cut-off. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info and the war, the internal disputes were put aside, they thought the same as themselves, and at present, they can only talk about anything else if they repel the enemy army.
Since the beginning of the war, the Yuan army has maintained a high-intensity offensive, and the two sides have engaged more than 20 times in three days, the Song army has lost more than 100 large and small warships, several commanders and more than a dozen commanders have been killed in battle, more than 3,000 soldiers and volunteers, and the enemy ships have attacked the front several times. Zhang Shijie led several generals to supervise the battle day and night, and the water village was finally not breached, but no one knew whether it would be able to hold it in the next battle.
"Your Majesty, last night there was another commander who led the army to patrol the sentry and did not return, and there was no news, I think it was the surrender of the Tartars again!" Since the war, Zhao Yu has eaten and lived in the command room of the top cabin, and everyone has also reported the latest battle report to His Majesty early in the morning in accordance with the regulations, Lin Zhiwu said.
"What else do you think, it must be, phew!" Zhao Yu took a sip of porridge and spit out the sand in it and said, now this porridge has become a luxury, because the boat has always been based on the lottery to get water, in order to play an exemplary role, he also lowered himself to two cans of fresh water a day, so there is no need to wash rice to cook porridge, today must be the cook is lazy and did not pick up the sand inside.
"What Your Majesty said is that if they are attacked, they will not be able to escape, they must have defected to the enemy." Lin Zhiwu blushed and said.
"At this time, it is a big wave of sand, the battle has been fought for three days, and even the water can't be drunk, and some people can't stand it and want to find a way to survive is also human nature, and they are afraid that there will be more and more in the future!" Zhao Hao sighed and said, the porridge tasted out of it.
"Yes, this morning, Mrs. Zhang cut down more than a dozen large and small generals in one go, just to make an example!" Lin Zhiwu said.
"Relying on killing can only deter for a while, and then you still have to run!" Zhao Yu shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, in the past few days, only the Queen Mother has rewarded a lot of gold and silver, and there are hundreds of officials, but some people still have to run away after taking things, and the commander who did not return last night has just been promoted, which is also strange, it is not good to kill, and the reward is still not good!" Lin Zhiwu said.
"Why don't you run?" Zhao Hao asked suddenly.
"Your Majesty, why did your subordinates run?" Lin Zhiwu was startled, and saw that His Majesty didn't move, so he asked suspiciously.
"Yes, what about you? Now that we are surrounded here, we may be attacked by the enemy at any time and die, are you not afraid of death? Zhao Hao asked with a wink.
"The subordinates are also afraid of death, but they know that they will not die if they follow Your Majesty, and even if they die, they will die for Your Majesty!" Lin Zhiwu replied.
"What do you call that? I don't understand. Zhao Hao listened to the nonsense he said, and said with a smile.
"Hehe, my subordinates are abrupt." Lin Zhiwu smiled embarrassedly, "The subordinate means that people are afraid of death, but how to die when scoring, the sage has clouds: some are heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than feathers." If he dies for the kingdom and for the king, he will die; Moreover, Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, how can he let the Tartars run rampant, and he will definitely try to annihilate them all. ”
"But don't you think it's strange, the Han people account for seventy percent of the enemy army on the other side, and the military law is more stringent, the food is not necessarily better than ours here, and there are many dead people, why don't they flee, but fight bravely?" Zhao Hao licked the bottom of the bowl and asked again.
"My subordinates don't know!" Lin Zhiwu thought about it and shook his head, but he also felt that His Majesty asked strangely.
"That's because they know that they have a life to spend when they get a reward, and they have a life to do when they are promoted, but the officers and soldiers of our court feel that they are not blessed to receive the reward, and they can save their lives if they are lucky enough to escape, and the people's hearts have been scattered, and Mrs. Zhang can only make people run faster by killing people to establish his authority!" Zhao Yu put down the bowl and said leisurely.
"Then what does Your Majesty think is the best?" Lin Zhiwu listened to the silent chant for a moment and felt that there was no solution to this question, so he asked His Majesty for advice.
"Give them hope, let them know that Da Song will not die, and the future will be better!" Zhao Yu said solemnly.
"Hope?!" Lin Zhiwu was a little confused, but he couldn't figure out why His Majesty could make people not run away just by relying on this blunt sentence.
"It was quiet last night, didn't the Yuan army attack the camp?" Zhao Yu asked regardless of whether he could figure it out now or not, wiping his mouth.
"Your Majesty, there has been no movement since the Tartars collected their troops last night, I think they are also tired of the soldiers and horses, and they have stopped their troops." Lin Zhiwu thought for a while.
"Hmm. What's the wind blowing today? Zhao Hao nodded, but suddenly felt that something was wrong and suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Your Majesty, it's the north wind!" The emperor's thinking was beating too fast, and Lin Zhiwu couldn't keep up, but he checked the hydrology every day, observed the wind direction, and stared at the storm bottle.
"It's broken!" Zhao Yu suddenly stood up and walked two laps, "Let all the armies enter the alert, untie the board, and immediately lift anchor and evacuate when they find the fire." If the ships in the village are on fire, the horse will raise the sails and oars to break through to the north! ”
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the Tartars will attack with fire?" Lin Zhiwu said in surprise.
"Well, we can think of the fire chain, Zhang Hongfan has no reason not to think of it, a few days ago, the wind direction changed uncertainly, he was worried about accidentally injuring his side, and he has not moved, now it is the time of high tide, and the wind direction is also suitable for fire attack, he will definitely not let go!" Zhao Yu said firmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Zhiwu hurriedly went out to give the order, walked two steps and turned back, "Your Majesty should inform Taifu Zhang and let them prepare for evacuation!" ”
"It's too late now, and if you evacuate now, it will cause chaos, and you will be defeated before you fight. And the waterway to the north is narrow, the big ships can't pass through, and without the protection of the water village, the whole army will be annihilated! Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed.
"Then we won't be able to save ourselves when we die?" Lin Zhiwu said in a hurry.
"Am I that kind of person?" Zhao Yu said with a displeased face, "You let the gunboats and rocket ships prepare for launch, once the arson measures fail and it is difficult to resist the impact of the fireboats, you will obey the order to immediately launch rockets and flowering shells in front of the wall, sink the fireboats or use the exploded water column to extinguish the fire." ”
"Yes, my subordinates are anxious to offend Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty!" Lin Zhiwu heard that His Majesty had already made a plan, so he hurriedly asked for sin.
"Go ahead, I hope my worries are unnecessary!" Zhao Yu waved his hand, but his heart was not calm, and for the first time he hoped that history would not change, so that the Great Song Dynasty could survive this catastrophe as recorded in history, and not be disturbed by himself......
