Since Zhang Kui is a believer in Zhao Yu, of course he tells everything he knows, which makes Liu Shen's strength completely clear. At the beginning of his attack on Jingao, Liu Shen's army only had more than 400 warships, but they captured a lot in the battle with the imperial court, and captured nearly 500 large and small warships for the first time, and incorporated them into the army. Although there were losses in the next few engagements, there were still more than 600 warships, and in the subsequent pursuit, 200 Song warships were captured again.

Now he has almost wiped out the army in front of the enemy, but the warships led by Liu Shen are still not less than 600. Although Zhao Hao had overestimated their strength before, there were more facts than he expected. Although the Destroyers suffered very few losses this time, the battle just now almost exhausted their energy, and most of the ammunition in reserve was also consumed. But the enemy army only lost thirty percent of its strength, and he was really not sure whether the next battle would survive.

"Zhang Kui, which army are most of the warships you captured?" Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and asked.

"Your Highness, Liu ...... Liu Thief was worried that the people who had just surrendered would be unstable and would surrender and rebel, so they were all organized in the Chinese army. The former army was basically a descended army incorporated by the northerners and the early years, although the number was small, but the strength was the strongest. Zhang Kui replied immediately.

"Well, as you said, half of the Chinese army is just surrendered!" Zhao Yu chewed the jerky and said, seeing that Zhang Kui only swallowed saliva, knowing that he was also hungry, he reached out and grabbed the jerky and handed it to him.

"Your Highness Xie, that's exactly the case!" Zhang Kui took the jerky and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently, and said vaguely.

"Sit down, eat slowly, there's still something here." Seeing that he looked like a hungry ghost, Zhao Yu pushed the food box forward, and then instructed Xiao Huangmendao, "Give him those waters!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhang Kui thought that he was really hungry, so he sat down after giving a salute, grabbed the kettle and drank it all in one go, and then dragged the food box and put it on his lap and ate it without stopping his mouth. Seeing that he was so rude, Zhang Hao and the others were about to scold, but they were stopped by Zhao Hao, and ordered someone to bring him another pot of water.

"Zhang Kui, are you not full of food in the Tartar army?" Seeing that Zhang Kui ate for a while and drank half a pot of water, Zhao Yu asked out loud.

"Your Highness, it's not a secret, the Tartars can eat enough on weekdays. However, this time after a long voyage to sea, there were many battles, and there was not much food and fresh water left. And these have to be close to the Mongols and those northerners first, and there will not be much in our hands, like me, I can only live half hungry and half full. Zhang Kui sighed.

"How many people are in the Chinese army, and how many days have you not eaten enough?" The fact that the Mongols divided the population of the occupied areas into four classes has always been used as a negative example of propaganda, and Zhao Hao is certainly aware of it. The Beiren refer to the Han people who stayed in the northern region as early as the Liao Dynasty and the Jingkang Revolution in the Song Dynasty, and after a hundred years, they have little sense of identity with the Great Song Dynasty, so they are trusted by the Mongols. The Nanren, on the other hand, were the Han Chinese in the Jiangnan region that the Mongols invaded after the southward expansion, and they were not believed by them, but were regarded as slaves with the lowest status.

"Your Highness, after leaving Jingao, the food supply has not been available, although there are some seizures, but they are all controlled by the Mongols, and now it has been six or seven days. The Tartars do not know the nature of water, so most of the sailors are southerners who have surrendered, and the former army can account for about sixty percent, and the Chinese army should be more. Zhang Kui thought about it.

"It's the same root, why be too anxious to fry each other!" Zhao Hao sighed and said, and the victory just now also made him feel bored.

"Your Highness, in the first two years, the little one was still a small soldier under Zhang Shijie, but he was defeated again and again, which was unconvincing. If there is a person in the court who leads the army like His Highness, why should we be thieves! Zhang Kuiyan said.

"Take him down, take care of them, and don't treat them badly." Zhao Yu said to the guards beside him.

"Your Highness, if you don't give up, the little one is willing to join the army of the Marshal's Mansion to serve His Highness!" Zhang Kui walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Okay, after the war, if you want to join my marshal's army, this king will not refuse, go down and rest first!" Zhao Yu nodded.

After the trial of the captives, Zhao Yu felt a lot more at ease. As Zhang Kui said, Liu Shen's army has been short of food and water for many days, and its combat strength will inevitably be damaged. And the southerners in his army are conservative and account for 60 percent, and the newly attached troops account for half, not to mention the low treatment of these people, and they will definitely not be willing to die if they can't eat enough. Moreover, those who were incorporated into the army after being captured were no better than Zhang Kui's Song troops who surrendered a few years ago, they were still eating with the imperial court for more than ten days, and now they turn their faces and let them fight the imperial court, they must still have some scruples in their hearts, and most of them will not work hard during the battle. In this way, I have a better chance of winning.

"Your Highness, the sentinel ship has returned, and there are Tan people who have come to help in the battle, and a battalion of Chinese troops stationed in Boao has also rushed to assist!" At this time, Chen Renweng, who was dealing with the aftermath, hurriedly walked over and said.

"Oh, so we've got another boost." Zhao Yu said in surprise, now it is commendable for them to have one more soldier and one soldier, "Where has Liu Dutong arrived?" ”

"Your Highness, Liu Dutong is about twenty miles away from the Baisha Water Army." Chen Renweng replied.

"It's going to take an hour to get there." Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Then as long as we try our best to hold Liu Shen back, we can wait for reinforcements." ”

"Your Highness's intention is to annihilate the enemy army? But the disparity between our strength and the enemy is too great, and now that the imperial fleet has traveled far, it is better to wait for all the reinforcements to arrive before making plans! Chen Renweng said in surprise. The original plan was to drag Liu Shenjun and save the imperial fleet, but His Highness now wants to eat them, which is too much of a change.

"Liu Shen seems to be powerful, but his conquest has not been rested for a long time, and now that the food and fresh water have been exhausted, it has become the end of the strong crossbow, which can give him a heavy blow and completely relieve the danger of the imperial court." Zhao Yu said. Liu Shen has no foot support now, so it can be said that he is alone, and the opportunity is rare. And let him go this time, the imperial court will settle in Qiongzhou, and he will definitely gather a large army to attack Qiongzhou again, in this case, it is better to hit his water division first and weaken their water warfare capabilities.

"Your Highness......"

"Chen Renweng listens to orders!" Zhao Yu had made up his mind, so he didn't want to listen to his persuasion.

"Subordinates listen to orders!" His Royal Highness moved out of the military order, and Chen Renweng had to listen to it.

"This king ordered you to prepare reinforcements, use the captured enemy ships to raise the banner of the Shuaifu, and deploy suspicious troops on Nanzhi Island, so that the enemy will not dare to rush forward. At the same time, rocket boats intercept the enemy, disrupt their marching columns and try to hold them back. ”

"Zheng Yong listens to the order, you assist Chen in commanding the Tan soldiers and accept their dispatch!" Zhao Yu ordered repeatedly.

"Your Highness, then you ......" Chen Renweng knew that His Highness was going to take another risk, and said anxiously.

"When the enemy ship sails to the vicinity of Nanzhi Island, this king leads the dragon boat to kill from the waterway between Pingzhi Island, and directly attack his handsome ship, completely disrupting their formation, and annihilating the enemy together when reinforcements arrive!" Zhao Yu arranged, "We know that we have few troops, so we have found a help for you!" ”

"Birds?!" Chen Renweng followed His Highness's finger and looked into the air, and said suspiciously...... (To be continued.) )
