An encounter ended with the nervous squeaks of His Highness, and the Marshal Army won the victory by sinking one, ramming one, and forcing one to surrender, capturing an enemy ship, and more than 100 soldiers below the enemy centurion, and the rest were either drowned or shot. But when Liu Zhu, the commander of the navy in charge of the forward army, happily boarded the prince's ship to report the victory, he was reprimanded by the prince and counted the mistakes in the battle.

The first is that they did not recognize the seriousness of the problem, and only wanted to expel the enemy ships instead of annihilate them, which almost deprived the action of suddenness; In addition, although the containment tactics were correct, they failed to take full advantage of the long-range fire of the ballista, and fired almost only when they were within range of the enemy's crossbows. In addition, it is very wrong to use head-to-head collision tactics when using ramming tactics, and should be carried out by ramming the side or tail of the enemy ship, and his misaction not only caused damage to the bow of his own ship, but also caused several soldiers to be injured.

Finally, the command and coordination were unfavorable, and when the enemy ships were forced to stop, several ships often swarmed up, resulting in an empty blockade line, and almost causing an enemy ship to break through, but this was still a mistake in the situation where the forces of the two sides were 10 to 1 and their own side had an absolute advantage. Therefore, although the battle was won, it was not victorious. After a harsh criticism, His Royal Highness said that he could not be blamed for all kinds of mistakes, that the navy had been formed for a short time, that the training was insufficient, and that the sailors were not familiar with the performance of the new ship were the main reasons, but this could not be an excuse, but a lesson should be learned. Summing up experience, we must not make the same mistake again in the future.

Zhao then ordered that all the goods on the captured ships be distributed to the vanguard fleet, and at the same time emphasized that the gunners who sank the enemy ships and the captains who dared to ram the enemy ships with the same way of fighting were to be rewarded. Only then did he bring the captives to attend the interrogation in person. Liu Zhu stepped aside and secretly wiped the cold sweat on his head, he knew that His Royal Highness had many miracles, but he didn't want to 'familiar' himself with the art of war, and he made mistakes in his tactics one by one, but there was not much difference, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that the royal descendants were extraordinary.

"The villain is guilty. Collided with the Holy Driver, the most deserving death! "The captain of the enemy ship who was forced to surrender was brought up, and when he came up, he knelt down before the enemy and shouted guilt.

"Nonsense. This is the car of His Royal Highness King Wei, and if you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you first. Ying Jie Yan reprimanded with a dark face, he already knew in his heart that the enemy had already known the news of the imperial court's departure from Chaozhou. That's why patrol ships were sent deep into the sea to reconnoiter the movements of the imperial court.

"Damn the villain. Shocked Wang Jia, he also deserves to die! The captive reacted quickly, and slapped himself a few times in the mouth and said.

"Who is your last name, what is your position in the Tartar army, and what is your intention to enter the sea?" Ying Jieyan stopped talking nonsense with him, and asked again and again.

"The villain Pei Jing is under the command of Liang Xiongfei, the defender of Guangzhou...... No, it was Liang Thief's subordinate army of 100 households, and he was worried that the imperial court wanted to be unfavorable to Guangzhou. So he sent villains and others into the sea to inquire about the news of the imperial court. Pei Jing replied tremblingly.

"Full of nonsense, push it out and cut it!" Ying Jie Yan listened to the book case and shouted angrily.

"Big ...... My lord. The villain is honest! Pei Jing was frightened, and shouted in panic when he saw a warrior come forward.

"The enemy chief is the traitor Lu Clan's master, don't you really know that you are the commander?" Ying Jieyan is another book case.

"My lord doesn't know, the day before yesterday, Lu Shuai said that the food was insufficient and wanted to take the army back north to get food, so that the Liang thief stayed in the state city, the villain said the truth, and he would never dare to lie......" Seeing the rope added, Pei Jing shouted while struggling.

"Oh, how many defenders are there in the state city now, how many Tartars are there, and how many warships are there in your navy? You answer truthfully, and if you make a mistake, you won't forgive it! Ying Jieyan waved his hand, asked the warrior to stand back for the time being, and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yu watched from the sidelines, and admired the old man very much, his acting was really good. They already knew about the change of generals in Guangzhou City, but the old man pretended not to know how to ask first and then turn back, and he wanted to fight and kill. Such a toss not only confirmed whether the information in front of him was accurate, but also found out whether the prisoner was telling the truth, and at the same time made him wonder how much the white-bearded old man above knew.

"My lord, the Lu thief left behind the Jiujiang army led by the two thousand, and the one thousand rebels under the Liang thief living in the east and west wing cities. The Tartars left more than 1,000 Tanma Red Army stationed outside the sub-city, led by a thousand households. When the Tartars besieged the city, most of the warships fled from the sea, and now there are actually only more than ten large and small warships, less than 500 soldiers, mainly used to guard the water pass. Pei Jing said tremblingly.

"Hmph, you're pretty honest!" Ying Jie snorted coldly, and then turned his face and nodded slightly at the prince, indicating that what he said was credible.

"You also belong to the former Braves?" Zhao Hao suddenly asked. He had previously learned from Zhuang Shilin that after Guangzhou entered the Song Dynasty, the city was expanded and repaired more than ten times, and the middle city, the east city and the west city were built one after another.

Zhongcheng is based on the old city of the Southern Han Dynasty; The eastern city is based on the old city of Zhao Tuocheng; Xicheng was expanded to protect the newly developed business district, and was the largest, with a circumference of more than 13 miles. The three cities are connected to the east and west, the two cities in the middle and east are centered on the palace office and are in a T-shape, and the west city is a foreign trade business area, which is in the shape of a tic-tac-toe. There are also Nanhao, Qingshuihao and Neihao dug in the city, which can not only collect the benefits of the boat, but also be conducive to fire prevention and drainage in the city. Later, the east and west Yanyi cities adjacent to the Pearl River in the south were built.

However, the Mongols fought the world with cavalry, and the cities were their biggest obstacle, so they often demolished them after the capture. Kublai Khan also inherited this tradition, and after the war against the Song Dynasty was basically over, he ordered the demolition of all the walls of the southern cities, and it was strictly forbidden to rebuild them after the demolition. This was an attempt to weaken the defenses of the newly conquered cities, and if there was resistance in the conquered areas, the Mongol garrisons could quickly storm the cities and suppress them. The city of Guangzhou was not spared, but it was preserved because the sub-city and the winged city were too strong.

The city of Guangzhou also has two water gates in the east and west, which are used to control the entry and exit of ships in and out of the city's six canals, because the waterways it controls are directly related to the trade area, and also have the role of tax customs, it is not surprising that the military defense facilities that control the traffic arteries are garrisoned by naval forces. But now that most of the city has been destroyed, the water pass has caused trouble for them to raid the city. And the rebel general in front of him, Zhao Yu, felt that it seemed to be somewhat useful, so he asked this question......

"His Royal Highness King Wei asked, don't answer quickly!" The guard next to him was stunned when he saw Pei Jing, kicked him and shouted.

"Your Highness, the villain is indeed an old subordinate of the Brave Army, and he has been added as a deputy general. It's just that the city has been broken, and the villain is trapped and difficult to get out, and the commander wants to surrender, and the villain has no choice but to commit to the enemy camp, but it is not what he wants. Only then did Pei Jing understand that the child sitting on it was the main one, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"You don't want to repay the favor and die, but lead the army to attack this king, you really deserve to be killed!" Zhao Yu said viciously with a small face.

"Your Royal Highness spares your life, although the villain descended, he did not dare to offend the heavenly army, it was the thief who detained the villain's relatives and forced the navy to go to sea to inspect the whereabouts of the imperial court, and there was a governor's array sent by the Tartars, and the villain could not help but listen. But when he met the heavenly army, the villain didn't order anyone to send an arrow, but just wanted to surrender to the court. Although Zhao Yu was young, his words with a child's voice were even more ruthless, seeing that the warrior had already put his hand on his shoulder, he would be dragged out as soon as His Highness looked at him, and Pei Jing trembled with fright when he saw that his life was not guaranteed, but he did not forget to defend himself.

"Your Highness, this person is brutal, don't listen to his sophistry, if you don't fall into a siege, how can you surrender, or kill him to make an example." Yoo so said on the side.

"Your Highness, let's leave the villain to live, but there is no ...... to drive" Pei Jingyuan hoped that Liu Zhu, an eyewitness, could testify to himself, but he didn't expect it to add fuel to the fire, and for a while snot and tears rolled down, and he couldn't stop pleading.

"Sir, you see that he seems to be remorseful, isn't it ......" Zhao Hao showed sympathy on his face, and turned his face to ask Ying Jieyan.

"Your Highness...... Alas, Your Highness has the virtue of a good life, are you willing to return to the court and make meritorious contributions? Ying Jieyan sighed, as if he was a little helpless about the overflow of His Royal Highness's sympathy, and lowered his head and pointed at Pei Jing and said with a fierce voice.

"Your Royal Highness, my lord, it was the villain who was confused for a while that he descended the Tartar, and now he can return to the court is a villain who has been cultivated for eight lifetimes, no, it took eighteen lifetimes to cultivate the blessing!" Pei Jing, who escaped death, touched his head to the ground and said loudly.

"Well, in that case, I will temporarily drop your head and send it to the neck, and if there is the slightest rebellion, the old man will immediately cut off your head with his own hands." Ying Jiejie warned again.

Pei Jing naturally expressed his loyalty again, and then asked some more questions before letting him leave, and Zhao Yu told him to take good care of him, and he must not be wronged. Everyone can see that Pei Jing is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as he can live, he will not blink an eye if he is afraid that he will kill his own father. In his heart, the word loyalty and righteousness are probably not as good as a penny, otherwise he would not have betrayed the court, and when he was fighting, he fled for his life regardless of the other two ships, and when there was no hope of breaking through, he killed the Mongol officer who asked for surrender.

As long as the wind direction is not right, such a person will bite back and surrender again, and this kind of rebellious villain should be killed to avoid future troubles, everyone doesn't understand that His Royal Highness is young and soft-hearted, and he can't see that this scene is still excusable, but Fu Shuai should not be so rash after a long battle! But no matter what they think and how they look at it, the matter is already in the boat, and there is nothing to be done.

Pei Jing looked at the old and the young one on him, laughing at him, but he felt that they had bad intentions, and felt a chill on the back of his neck. According to common sense, people are always thieves, and the old man should be the most dangerous, and he should stay away from him. But his intuition told him that the little prince was the most terrible, and he seemed to bypass himself because he was soft-hearted and moved by his 'true feelings', but there was always a feeling in his heart that he was not steady, as if he had stepped into a trap laid by him......
