Chapter 158 The fishing village under the Tangbottlezui Mountain

He Yongfei didn't know how many times he had scolded his mother, and he also ordered to slow down and prepare for battle, and put on a posture to scare the pursuers behind him. But Wang Kui behind him is even more ruthless, no matter how you toss, even if you bite you, you don't relax at all, if you slow down, I will slow down, anyway, my boat will make a small U-turn quickly.

The fifty tiger-headed boats of the Song army got closer and closer to the coast, and a small green island appeared in front of them.

"Where are you ahead?"

He Yongfei had already lost his square inch, and when he saw the island, he suddenly felt that if he walked around the island, would he throw off the Yuan army warships behind.

"My lord, in front is Xiaonanwan, straight forward is Yashan, is the mouth of Xinhu water, and then forward is Xinhui County."

"This place still belongs to the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, although there is no naval army stationed, but after all, there are local troops on land, let's go to the bay first, see if we can find help, and wipe out the pursuing Yuan soldiers!" He Yongfei said this very weakly, and he was chased in a panic under the crowd, so he could only say something tough to give himself courage. In fact, he turned his head and went straight along the established route to Guangzhou Bay, at that time there would be a strong South China Sea Fleet support, two patrol gunboats dispatched, Wang Kui's ships were by no means opponents.

The battle of Yashan in history is Zhang Shijie in Guangzhou after the city of Guangzhou, led the army to Xinhui to prepare to recuperate, entrenched for a long time after the tactical development of mistakes, only to be besieged by Zhang Hongfan with weak troops in three ways, entrenched in a narrow area of water too many warships, trapped by the tide and can not get out.

The cause of this development is different, but the direction is somewhat coincidental, it is that He Yongfei, the pioneer officer of the army in Guangzhou, was pursued by Wang Kui, and did not have the courage to continue sailing towards Guangzhou, so he fled into the bay outside Yashan in a panic, trying to find the help of the local Song Dynasty township army, and resist the Yuan soldiers and warships in pursuit.

"Is the general still chasing, let's go further, we may be surrounded!"

Wang Kui looked at the tiger-headed boat that was slowing down again in front of him, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Slow down, just continue to stare at them from a distance, and continue to send the boat back to report and guide the way." If you enter the bay and can't get out anyway, our family's main ship will arrive soon, and he will have nowhere to escape when the time comes! ”

What Wang Kui didn't expect was that He Yongfei was extremely timid, and he chased him and gave up his mission of sending his vanguard officers and soldiers to Guangzhou, and the fifty tiger-headed boats did not find a suitable mooring position in the bay, so they actually took advantage of the high tide of the sea to sail upstream, and drove the boat through the Tangping Pass along the sea.

This time Wang Kui didn't dare to approach, the sea was at high tide, it was easy to get in, but if you wanted to quit, you had to wait for the right time, although the sporadic boats on both sides of the estuary were fishing, but after all, the people of the Song Dynasty would definitely be besieged if they really fought.

Perhaps He Yongfei was too timid to magnify Wang Kui's ambitions, and more than 30 boats under his command were cruising and waiting nearby, and they were also looking for a temporary safe haven on the edge of a small island in the sea, just the Song army who did not want to give up these dozens of boats.

He sent back four small boats one after another to report the news, and he was also very convinced that he would attract powerful Yuan warships, and then attack Yashan after the soldiers and one place, and by the way, even Xinhui County was taken down together, and such a battle feat was enough to get some rewards and silver to seal a general.

"Big brother, do you want to clean up the fishing boats nearby, there seems to be a fishing village with dozens of households at the foot of Tangbottlezui Mountain, hehe, brothers, go and get a girl for Big Brother to come back and relieve boredom!" His cronies still retain the bad habits of being pirates, and when they see the people who have no ability to resist, they want to go over and play prestige and do something bad that everyone is angry about.

Wang Kui had a lewd smile on his face, and just wanted to open his mouth to praise a few words of praise for his subordinates who knew so much, but suddenly thought that he was no longer a pirate, and he had to focus on the overall situation. lest you be reported by your colleagues or subordinates, and you will be punished if you can't be promoted, which is a stupid thing that outweighs the loss.

"Can't go, keep the status quo, who knows if that fishing village is a trap, just wait for us to stop the boat and dock." The order is to raise the vigilance of all ships and guard against enemies in all directions, and our main task is to keep an eye on these fifty ships, and let Song Gou run away from our eyes. ”

Wang Kui's decision is really crucial, otherwise it is likely that the war will break out in advance, and everything that follows will probably not happen again, and the fate of the Great Song Dynasty can have a third turn?

The small fishing village at the foot of Tangbottlezui Mountain does not seem to have dozens of households, but the location is extremely important, holding the throat of the mouth of the sea tightly, and under the cover of the mountain of Tangbottlezui Mountain, the water flow is gentle and sheltered from the wind. The small wharf in front of the village is several feet deep, not only the fishery is abundant, but also can moor large boats, and the most important thing is that only through the fishing village, there is only one dangerous road to climb the peak of the 100-zhang high Tangbottlezui Mountain.

On the top of the leafy peak, behind the bunker built by the trees and vines, dozens of people watched the Yuan soldier warship in the sea from afar, laughing and talking in a whisper.

"Come on, come on, come to the fishing village by two boats, grandpa invites you to eat cannonballs!"

"These broken boats are chasing them and running in? Don't dare to go back and them? It's a shame, if our gunboats hadn't gone back, we would have gone down and overthrown them! ”

"What are you tossing, Master Liu tore your mouth in a while, don't forget what we do! Hurry up and work, pay attention to concealment, and don't let people from afar find us! ”

"Master Liu is on the opposite cliff mountain, I've been addicted, he can't see it!"

"Be careful! Stop it! ”

Across the wide river channel into the sea is the cliff mountain surrounded by water on all sides, the cliff mountain of half stone and half soil is two highlands before and after, the south side is the main peak of the cliff mountain, the mountain is high and strange rocks are craggy, and the north side is called Daling Mountain, which is gentle. There are perennial alluvial flatlands on both sides of the ridge, which are cultivated by the surrounding people, and are rich in fertile land, supporting dozens of scattered fishermen and farmers around Yashan.

Liu Jinli was dressed in short clothes and strong clothes, lying in the hewn mountain cave and looking at the Yuan soldiers warship in the distance.

Because of the confidential matter, Zhao Tianyou repeatedly instructed that even most people on Hong Kong Island didn't know what they were doing here, and every time he returned to Hong Kong Island to load supplies, he still had to make up nonsense to Lao Feng Tou and Zhou Yuan.

For more than two months, four or five hundred people did not stop rushing to work, and the artillery positions on the two peaks had just reached a slight scale, but they had not yet reached the requirements stipulated by Zhao Tianyou, there were no dead ends in the front and back, left and right, and as long as the ships passed in the water, they could have the requirements of firing angles.

Liu Jinli took out a lot of silver, it was really a radius of dozens of miles of stonemasons and strong workers were concentrated in these two places, the choice of artillery position is a technical work, Liu Jinli must personally run up and down, and finally completed all the rough work, but the war has spread to this point, and the cannons are all in the fishing village under the mountain.
