Liu Shiyong was basically in a state of leisure after the defeat of Changzhou, and he also asked Zhang Shijie to return to the battlefield, and proposed to the court to withdraw from the army, but there was no news from the sea, and gradually his heart was cold, and wine became his best friend. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And he also has his own views on the current battle situation, but he has nowhere to tell, but he didn't expect to meet a 'bosom friend' who is sympathetic to the same disease today. After some conversation, he found that His Majesty knew the war very well and analyzed it insightfully, which surprised him very much.

"Your Majesty said the same, but it's also good to relieve boredom!" Liu Shiyong heard that His Majesty's words were also difficult to understand, but the obedient stubble had a good plan, and he was also unconvinced, and wanted to hear what His Majesty's 'high opinions' were. Of course, the imperial wine is really better than the bad wine sold in the grass market, and most of his jars are already half drunk, and he is presumptuous when he speaks.

"Well, it's actually quite simple." Zhao Yu glanced at Liu Shiyong, who was already six points drunk, and sighed lightly.

"Simple?! Your Majesty for advice! "Liu Shiyong, who was not convinced in his heart, heard the little emperor say this, didn't he also classify himself as a mediocre talent, and Shi Li 'asked' for advice.

"It's okay, our monarchs and ministers are only gossiping." Zhao Hao smiled secretly, "We just missed a good opportunity, let's not say more, and if we decide to counterattack at this moment, we should send a clipper to rush to the shoal as soon as possible while the tide is rising, so that even if you miss a blow, you can retreat safely, and you will never miss the opportunity like now." At the same time, large warships should be sent out of the cliff gate to attack the enemy while the current is taking advantage of the current, but at this time the enemy ships are going against the trend, and our army is occupying the right time and place, and the front and rear attacks will definitely be able to deal heavy losses with the enemy. If you lose, you can quickly retreat at low tide. ”

"In the water war, the most important thing is to go with the flow and the wind, and half of the victory has been won by one of them, Your Majesty really wants to be ingenious, taking advantage of the tide to win and attack, retreat and go, and have been invincible without fighting, and the minister is really admired. But the minister has something unclear, why didn't he say that he was using the land phase just now? Liu Shiyong pondered for a moment and said.

"Didn't you hear that the sentinel ship just reported that about 300 enemy ships were found, but earlier it was said that Zhang Hongfan led more than 500 warships from Chaoyang into the sea, and Li Heng had also gone to sea from Guangzhou all the way, but he has appeared so far, this is a trap. However, I can't send troops to find out the reason, and I can't get the latest battle report, so I can only be cautious, and it is better to miss the opportunity than let the enemy take advantage of it. Zhao Yu shrugged and said helplessly.

"Then where does Your Majesty think Li Heng's fleet and the unarrived Chaoyang fleet will set up an ambush?" Liu Shiyong felt that what His Majesty said was reasonable, and asked again.

"I don't know, I guess they're lost!" Zhao Hao spread out his hands and shrugged again.

'Poof......' Liu Shiyong almost spit out the wine he drank yesterday when he heard it, His Majesty actually missed the opportunity to annihilate the enemy for this reason, so he didn't know what to say, "Your Majesty, this is ...... Ahem! ”

"Hehe, doesn't General Liu think it's a pity!" Zhao Hao patted his back a few times and smiled.

"Your Majesty, all right! Lu Xiang ......, "Liu Shiyong was touched by His Majesty's back, and he was a little flattered and hurriedly thanked him, but he saw Lu Xiang and a few people standing in the hatch not far behind him.

"Your Majesty, the minister delayed the fighter, and please punish Your Majesty!" Lu Xiufu listened to it for a long time, how could he not understand that it was his hesitation and distrust that caused him to miss the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and bowed down to excuse himself.

"Lu Xiang is exempt from courtesy, I have just said that I am talking to General Liu on paper and it is not true, and the fighter plane is fleeting, the mistake has been cast, and it is beyond the reach of manpower, so Lu Xiang should not blame himself!" Zhao Yu stretched out his hand to help him.

"What does Your Majesty think of the moment?" Lu Xiufu got up and asked again, his face was less suspicious and more trusting at this moment.

"I don't know, but I believe that fate is not in heaven, but in man." Zhao Hao shook his head and looked at the direction of the cliff gate from afar.

"Life is not in the sky, but in man, the minister remembers!" Lu Xiufu said again.

"Okay, it's cool on the roof, let's go back!" Zhao Hao said with a smile......

The war was as Zhao Yu said, the fleet to the north of the island returned in vain, although everyone felt sorry but there was no way, but what followed was a greater panic. The next day, Zhang Hongfan's fleet, which had escaped from the predicament, bypassed from the east of the island, turned to the south of Yamen Haikou and entered, and discharged a long snake formation and had the first battle with the Song army.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Hongfan also realized that he was blocked by the enemy in the inland sea, and the situation was unfavorable to his side, but he still did not dare to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, but only sent generals out of the village to challenge. Seeing that he was still playing the infantry army scolding the formation and fighting alone, Zhao Yu was so angry that he scolded, which shows that he still hasn't learned a lesson, and he still uses the combat method of the infantry army to command the navy. After successive defeats, Zhang Shijie still refused to learn a lesson, and used a small army to take night raids and surprise attacks, and fought more than ten battles with the enemy, but none of them won a victory, which greatly reduced the morale of the Song army.

Zhang Hongfan was not idle, resisting the small-scale attack of the Song army in the early stage of the war, while continuing to blockade Haikou, he secretly sent an army to carry the infantry army to the old place of the Yashan Palace, and re-established the camp, wanting to block the supply of firewood and fresh water for the Song army. He also ordered the troops on the island to set up trebuchets to bombard the Chinese fleet moored in the inland sea, although the attack was difficult to achieve from a long distance, but it caused great pressure on the Song army and made the empress dowager panic. Zhang Shijie ordered the Chinese army to move south to avoid the stone projectiles dropped by the enemy's stone throwers.

However, Zhao Yu found that Zhang Hongfan's conspiracy to cut off the Song army's water and wood harvesting did not succeed, but suffered some small losses. Because the Song army formed a water village in the inland sea, the ships of the Yuan army could only travel on the side close to the shore, so as not to be injured by the stone throwers and crossbows of the Song army in the array. Most of them are large warships with limited activities in shallow waters, and the number of people on the island is limited. The Song army dispatched to draw water from small warships, which were mobile and flexible, and could often take advantage of the gap to successfully get water through the blockade, and would draw cold to intercept the enemy to strike.

However, due to the occupation of Yashan Island by the Yuan army and the harassment of enemy ships, it became increasingly difficult to obtain water, and the amount of water taken was also decreasing. Although it has not reached the point where the water shortage has not been severe, the armies have also begun to limit the use of water. Lu Xiufu suggested several times that Zhang Shijie send troops to recapture Yashan Island in order to control the water source. Zhang Shijie didn't know whether it was to save face or was afraid of losing in the infantry battle, so he never carried it out, and still continued to send troops to engage in small-scale water battles with the enemy. Zhao Hao couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, whether he wanted to delay time and wait for the enemy to run out of food and grass and retreat, or whether he wanted to accumulate small victories and gradually consume the enemy's strength......
