Chapter 397: Maybe
Dawn was the darkest time of the day, but the walls of the Song army camp were already brightly lit up the surrounding sea, and Li Heng's fleet down the river was exposed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info set up a high platform on the stern in advance, erected a shooting grille, arranged archers on it, when entering the firing range, immediately opened the bow and released arrows, overwhelming arrows like flying locusts to the Song army water village, and the Song army was not to be outdone by relying on the wall and the enemy shooting, but it could not stop the enemy ships going down the river at all.
'Bang, bang, bang......'
"What's wrong?" The loud noise caused by the continuous collision finally woke up the sleeping Zhao Hao, and he rubbed his eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army has attacked Beicheng, and now the two sides have engaged in battle!" Wang De, who was waiting on the side, said in a trembling voice.
"Oh, it's fighting!" Zhao Hao sighed, he knew it, and pulled the blanket up and didn't mean to get up.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lu and all of you have been waiting outside for a long time." Wang De saw that the emperor was not like before, and immediately got up when he heard the battle report, but he put on a look that he had nothing to do with him, which made him very anxious, and wondered why His Majesty had always said that this war was a matter of the survival of the Great Song Dynasty, and why it was not a matter of taking it seriously when the fight started.
"Yes, they don't get busy, they come to me and sit and do something!" In fact, Zhao Hao did not pay attention to it, but paid too much attention to it, and had already made careful arrangements before, waiting for only the opportunity. Now that the battle has just begun, he believes that no matter how stupid Zhang Shijie is, he will not be able to withstand a round of attacks, and besides, he can't get into it if he wants to mix and reconcile at the moment, it is better to nourish his spirit, and he doesn't know what this battle will last, otherwise he really can't stand it, so he doesn't want to get up.
"Your Majesty, let's go and meet you, otherwise it's too rude!" Wang De saw that His Majesty hadn't moved yet, so he was a little anxious and urged.
"Okay, I'm going to wash up, let them see you for a while, don't wake up Dabai!" Zhao Yu got up lightly, for fear of scaring the sleepy-eyed lazy cat, and carefully covered it with a blanket after getting off the ground.
After Zhao Yu got up, he didn't go out to meet people, but went down to his cabin not only to brush his teeth and wash his face, but also to take a bath, and even let people rub his back carefully. Then let people prepare a delicate breakfast, and gave one to each of the ministers on board, and since the previous re-entry into the sea, the guards began to make big fish and meat, as if the year was not over, and today it is more like a day, and the meal is added again. After eating, he made an exception and drank a bowl of bird's nest soup as tribute, and then asked people to refresh themselves, put on a short-sleeved armor, hang a short sword on his waist, and hide a delicate small dagger in his boots.
"Wang De, how am I dressed like this, and I don't look like a generalissimo?" After dressing up, Zhao Yu took a photo in front of the bronze mirror, and the handsome young man inside had nothing else wrong except for being fat, he turned around and asked.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty's change of costume is really spiritual! Wang De squeezed out a little smile and said, he found that His Majesty was very abnormal today, he was reluctant to eat things on weekdays, and he wore new clothes that he had never worn after entering the court, as if there was no tomorrow after today, which made him have an ominous premonition, as if His Majesty was going to do something big. And this thing seemed to be gone and there was no return, which made him even more uneasy.
"Really? I think it's beautiful, too! Zhao Yu turned left and right and said again, but a trace of melancholy flashed imperceptibly in his eyes. In fact, since he came to this world, the threat of death has been with him, making him live in anxiety and tension all the time. Although he has always avoided a helpless death, how to die in his brain has always lingered, tormenting his nerves all the time. Today is the ultimate day in history, and death or immortality is a memorable day for him, even if he makes a wonderful farewell to the past......
When Zhao Yu returned to the top cabin, the battle was already in full swing, in the face of the Yuan army that took advantage of the situation to cover the kill, the Song army, which had been prepared, immediately began to counterattack, but it was also powerless to block the enemy ships going downstream, after a short period of shooting, the enemy ships broke into the formation, and the two armies were already close to each other, fighting together. Seeing that the palace army guarding the northern city was gradually weakened, Zhang Shijie immediately ordered the elite Jianghuai Jinjun to go to support, and gradually stabilized the defense line after a fierce counterattack. However, Li Heng led the army to still attack fiercely, and the casualties on both sides continued to increase.
At the same time as Li Heng launched an attack, Zhang Hongfan also swore to anchor and sail to the south in front of the Song army. Look at the banner is the front army led by Zhang Hongzheng, the vanguard of the Yuan army, and the Chinese army brigade in the west of the rear Xu, Zhang Hongfan's handsome flag is waving in the wind, blocking the passage of the Song army to break through to the south. At this moment, the Yuan army can be said to have surrounded the Song army's water village from three sides, and the Yuan army on both the north and south sides of the road focused their attacks on the west, which was where Emperor Zhao's boat was located. And if they go west, they can only go to the island to escape, there is also a dead end, and in the end it will still be impossible to escape.
"Your Majesty, the situation is critical now, please stay in the cabin!" Looking at the emperor dressed like a little rooster at the beginning, Lu Xiufu frowned and said.
"The battle has just begun, and the victory or defeat is not decided, so why is it dangerous!" Zhao Yu looked at the situation on both sides, listened to the report, and said with a smile.
"Alas, as Your Majesty expected, we are already embattled, and it is too late to break through!" Lu Xiufu sighed heavily and said again.
"Hehe, how does Lu Xiang know that it is not an ambush from all sides!" Zhao Yu still smiled. He looked at Lu Xiufu, although he was strong in spirit, he was still inevitably tired and haggard, but there was determination in his eyes. He knew that his spirit was about to be crushed, and the concept of suicide and martyrdom that had been accompanying him was likely to be transformed into action because of the sudden change in the war situation, so he still had to stabilize him and never let him do stupid things.
"Your Majesty thinks the situation will be reversed?" Lu Xiufu seemed to hear His Majesty's voice, and said with a flash of brilliance on his face.
"The battle situation is changing rapidly, anything can happen, until the last moment, any prophecy is a lie, and I said that this is just the beginning, why should Lu Xiang be pessimistic?" Zhao Yu still said nonchalantly, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, but the fact is as he said, he has a killer feature, how can he not guarantee that Zhang Hongfan has no secret tricks, there are too many examples of big battles being changed by small events.
"What Your Majesty said is right, the minister should not be like this, but should fight to the last soldier, and never give up until the end!" The little emperor's 'optimism' seemed to infect him, and Lu Xiufu saw hope again...... (To be continued.) )
