335.The War in Leizhou (1)

More than ten miles east of Haikang County, coast.

Zhang Jue hurried here with thousands of soldiers, and then laid out several miles of defense on the beach.

Then only a few dozen minutes later, Su Liuyi also led nearly 20,000 Leizhou troops in Haikang County to arrive.

Since he learned that Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng led the army to attack Leizhou along the coastal road, he had gathered all the Leizhou troops that no longer had the task of transporting grain to Haikang County, and there were only more than 1,000 garrisons left in Suixi and Xuwen counties. These garrisons are probably equivalent to the armed police forces stationed in the local area in later generations, although they are all under the control of the Leizhou Army, but they are independent in the Leizhou Army.

A scene in full swing on the beach.

In addition to leading the soldiers, Su Liuyi also brought a lot of thunderbolts.

At this time, the strongest firepower of the Song Dynasty can be said to be concentrated here.

Eight hundred grenadiers and more than 2,000 thunderbolts lined up along the beach. And then there's the Flying Army on standby.

About the time it was over, a warship of the Yuan army suddenly appeared on the sea.

Suddenly, they emerged from the horizon, and there were hundreds of them, which can be described as overwhelming.

As far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight for the naval warships of the Yuan army at sea.

Zhang Jue and Su Liuyi shouted at the same time: "Prepare for war!" ”

Then the Song army continued to shout and sound.

The arrow hits Hyun, and the thunderbolt is pushed forward. The shield soldiers swarmed up and took the lead.

The drums in the Yuan army ship formation sounded unhurriedly, and the naval warships followed the rhythm of the drums and rode the tide towards the coast.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng have been on the sea these days, and they don't know much about the situation in the mainland.

They may know about the defeat of Boyan and Yesu'er, but they may not know that Dali has sent troops and is close to Leizhou.

Otherwise, the two would not have led the army to hurry to the coast of Leizhou, and after hundreds of big ships crossed the sea, they just took a short rest and couldn't wait to come towards Haikang County.

The last head of the Yuan army's naval battle ship array.

The sound of drums was heard from here, but the Marshal's ship could not be found among the naval ships.

Because, there is no ship with a handsome flag, and even the sound of drums, it is impossible to hear which ship it is coming from.

At this time, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were sitting in one of the naval warships.

Flags fluttered outside the ship, soldiers lined up, and the two people in the cabin were sitting facing each other, talking.

The expressions of the two were not solemn, and it seemed that they had gradually forgotten the pain of the defeat of Qizhou.

Zhang Hongfan said: "The defeat of Tengzhou has been almost half a month, right? ”

"yes......"

Li Heng muttered: "I didn't expect Marshal Boyan and Deputy Marshal Yesu'er to be defeated so badly, if you talk about the art of war and strategy, there are few people in our court who can compare with them." Think we followed Marshal Boyan to conquer the Song Dynasty, which time in the past was not the direction of the soldiers, and the enemy army fled in despair? I never thought that after our two brothers were defeated by the Song army, the two marshals would also be defeated by the Song army. Brother Hongfan, my brother wants to ask you a heart-wrenching word, this time our brothers led an army of 150,000 to attack Leizhou, do you really think you can attack it? ”

"Do you really want to hear the truth?"

Zhang Hongfan smiled bitterly.

Li Heng smiled, "Looking at your expression, brother, it doesn't matter if you listen to the truth or not." It seems that my brother is like me, and he has no confidence in his heart! ”

Zhang Hongfan shook his head, "I still have confidence in my heart to win Haikang." It's just that in the face of the little emperor of the Song Dynasty, I have no confidence. ”

Li Heng was silent.

Yes, even the hundreds of thousands of troops of Boyan and Yesuer were defeated, although the Song Dynasty also lost its troops, but can they stop it?

Li Heng's eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was a little cold, "Then after we take Haikang, will it ......?"

Zhang Hongfan said quietly: "Capture the royal relatives and nobles of the Song Dynasty alive, and slaughter the city and establish power!" ”

With that, he stood up and walked out of the cabin.

Standing on the top floor of a naval ship, he looked out over the coast. At this time, you can already see the Song soldiers lined up along the coast.

Li Heng followed out of the cabin and said softly: "At this time, Emperor Song should also rush back to Leizhou, right?" ”

Zhang Hongfan said: "It should be a few more days. ”

Li Heng said: "Then we must take Haikang in just a few days." ”

Zhang Hongfan nodded, and shouted to the soldiers next to him: "Beat the drums, line up the boats, and bombard the coast!" ”

In the beautiful wind and sun, the drums of the Yuan army suddenly stirred, and hundreds of naval warships slowly spread to both sides.

At the bow of the ship, the catapult was pushed to the front, and the soldiers put the thunderbolt into the nest, ready to attack.

The sails fluttered, and hundreds of warships soon lined up in two rows and continued to gallop towards the coast.

Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan were on the last row of the naval warship, and the two leaned on the railing, staring at the coast in the distance, stunned.

They didn't dare to show the location of the handsome ship in a big way, because they were afraid that the Song army would use some tactics against them.

Regarding the decisive battle in Guangxi, they also received a lot of rumors. The beheading tactics of the Song army have really made countless Yuan Dynasty generals timid.

To the surprise of the two, when the ship formation was still hundreds of meters away from the shore, countless waves suddenly exploded in front of them.

Grenadier!

Only a grenadier has such a long range.

Even a catapult could not have such a long range.

The catapult newly invented by the Yuan army that was specially used to throw thunderbolts could only throw thunderbolts about 500 meters away.

The range of the grenadier can reach more than 600 meters.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng changed color at the same time and looked at each other.

Li Heng's eyes, which were squeezed into thin slits because of obesity, crossed the eyes, "Could it be that Emperor Song has already led the army back to Haikang?" ”

Zhao Dongting repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Yuan army with grenadiers in Guangxi, and he didn't think that in a short period of time, the Song Dynasty could produce so many grenadiers.

The actual situation is that in order to prevent the excessive spread of firearms, Zhao Dongting's Ministry of Military Industry has not manufactured grenadiers at all in recent days.

Zhang Hongfan's thick eyebrows tightened, "No, even if Emperor Song marched at full speed, he shouldn't have rushed back to Haikang so quickly." ”

Li Heng said: "Then it should be their Flying Dragon Army that rushed back first." ”

Zhang Hongfan suddenly sighed softly, "Brother Xian, what do you say will happen if we get these grenadiers?" ”

Li Heng understood, "Doesn't that mean that Song Jun's right-hand man has been broken?" ”

The two of them are not ordinary people, and in just a few words of conversation, they have already figured out the general details of Song Jun.

The drums did not stop, and hundreds of naval ships continued to advance towards the coast under artillery fire.

The size of the ship made the power of the grenadier less obvious. Often, it takes more than a dozen shells to sink a naval warship.

Although this was still a head-on blow to the warships of the Yuan army, in the final analysis, the warships of the Yuan army did not suffer much.

And Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng can be said to have come with the intention of becoming benevolent if they don't succeed this time, and they didn't take this loss to heart.

The defeat of Qizhou finally won the opportunity to lead the army again, and this time they must be ashamed.

If they were defeated again, the two of them would not have the face to go back to Dadu to see Emperor Kublai Khan.

And the mentality of the generals can often affect the soldiers, so this time, the soldiers of the Yuan army are also extremely fierce.

In the continuous explosions, after some naval warships were blown up, the Yuan soldiers jumped into the water and still swam towards the shore.

On other ships, many small boats were laid down, and the soldiers climbed into the boats, rowed in unison, and also carried the cannonballs to the coast at a very fast speed.

In less than a few minutes, the Yuan army's naval ships were less than five hundred meters away from the coast.

The sound of knocking sounded one after another on the Yuan army's naval war ships.

Thunderbolts were thrown by artillery trucks, flew into the air, and fell to the coast.

At the same time, the artillery trucks of the Song army on the coast also threw thunderbolts at the Yuan army's naval warships.

With the development of the thunder in the Yuan Dynasty, they can no longer only be bombed stupidly like before.

On the sea and on the beach, there are constant explosions, noisy waves, and sand and dust.

Zhang Jue, Su Liuyi and other generals just kept shouting, "Put!" Put! Put! ”

When the Yuan army had a small boat approaching the coast for only two or three hundred meters, the thunderbolt in the Song army also sounded.

Crossbow arrows, as thick as a baby's arm, were fired with a sound that broke through the air to the surface of the sea.

Some of the bolts missed, but many more were fired right at the boats, and then exploded.

The Yuan sergeant on the boat let out a miserable scream and fell into the water. Some of them quickly popped up, while others sank forever.

The Thunderbolt is not as powerful as the Thunderbolt, but the damage it can do to the boat is still considerable.

The losses of the Yuan army gradually increased, and in a short period of time, dozens of naval warships were blown up and sunk.

However, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng just stared, and they didn't have the slightest intention of Mingjin.
