Chapter 179: History Repeats Itself

On the river, there are many large and small ships, like a jungle of sail trees, dyed with a layer of gold by the sun in the west, such a vast and vast scene makes Zhao Tianyou amazed. In an era when communication was basically based on shouting, only relying on flag language and gestures to coordinate and command such a large number of ships, the Song Army's command issuance and communication system was very scientific and efficient.

immediately faced a very serious problem, so that after the Song army was stationed in Yashan, Zhao Tianyou's arrangement at the peak was likely to be discovered by the Song army. Zhao Tianyou had considered this in advance, and it was also the reason why Liu Jinli took most of the people on Tangbottlezui Mountain, there was a cave behind all the gun emplacements, and the cannons and gunpowder were hidden in the hole, and there was camouflage outside.

Zhao Tianyou acted alone, the probability of being found was very low, and the cliff of the eagle's beak rock could be artificially expanded, making it more difficult to pass, so Zhao Tianyou stayed at the peak and gambled. Even if it was really discovered, Zhao Tianyou was sure to get out and leave, at most he would give these Hongyi cannons to Zhang Shijie, anyway, Zhao Tianyou's ultimate goal was also to pull Zhang Shijie, who was caught in death, to save the only remaining bit of incense in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Shijie was as worried as Li Heng, and when he didn't find out the enemy's situation, he thought that he had a very big possibility and fell into the trap of the enemy, and he couldn't sleep all night tossing and turning. After nightfall, the warships that resisted Zhu Qing outside the bay also retreated, and the entire fleet of the Great Song Dynasty gathered together, across the river more than ten miles long, close together to form a water village.

Although Zhang Shijie monopolized power and cronyism, squeezing out Lu Xiufu and a group of civil servants and officials, he was absolutely loyal to the Song family, and regarded protecting Emperor Song Youdi and recovering the Great Song Dynasty as his only goal. Since the fall of Lin'an, it has suffered heavy blows again and again, escaped again and again, and continued to grow its team on the way to escape, so that it has the scale of the current strong army.

However, in just ten days of chasing at sea, most of his accumulated strength was consumed, and nearly a thousand ships were lost, most of which were brave soldiers in a hundred battles, all of whom were killed in the sea in the process of covering the retreat and transfer of the large army.

He was proud of the martyrdom of these soldiers, but at the same time he was sad and angry, but he could only pretend that he was an iron-masked man, and gave orders without emotion, watching thousands of young soldiers embark on the journey home of their lives.

Because there is no one with great talent in front of the palace of the Song Dynasty, if he does not hold this piece of heaven, the army of more than 100,000 people will immediately fall apart, and everything will disappear. It is not easy for him to get from a small soldier to today, and he has also followed the powerful minister Jia Nidao, so that he was promoted and reused, and climbed up step by step through military exploits.

Defending Ezhou and fighting with the Yuan soldiers for several months, so that it could not move forward, led the army to defend Lin'an, protected the second king and the queen to escape from Lin'an, and went south to Fuzhou to establish ******, Zhang Shijie came through extremely difficult step by step.

"Did Lord Zhang sleep?"

Someone whispered greetings outside the cabin, Zhang Shijie covered his ears and could hear that it was Lu Xiufu, stepped forward to open the door and welcomed him in.

"The Queen Mother and the Young Emperor have both gone ashore, Lord Lu is tired all the way, why don't you go to the shore to have a good rest?"

Lu Xiufu looked at Zhang Shijie's tight face and smiled lightly: "Master Zhang, now there are only you and me, what else can't you relax?" ”

"Hey! Lord Lu, Zhang Shijie is a martial artist, but he wants to the heart of the world, he doesn't know it, he deserves to die of exhaustion! In the past few days, whenever I think of Lord Wen Tianxiang Wen, if he is still in the court, he will not fall into the current predicament, and Zhang and Lord Lu will also be more relaxed. ”

Zhang Shijie squeezed out Wen Tianxiang in Fuzhou, almost giving him the official position of a bare-bones commander, and went to fight against the Yuan with dozens of entourage soldiers, and now he regrets it in retrospect. But under the circumstances at that time, there was still Chen Yizhong who wanted to fight for power, and he was ruthless to force Wen Tianxiang away, and it was likely that the government and government would still be in chaos, and the matter of chicken feathers would have to be quarreled for a long time.

"Zhangzhou is alone in the forces of the Fujian Yuan soldiers, and there is no help in all directions, but it has defeated the attacks of the Yuan soldiers several times, which shows that Lord Wen has led the army well. But Pu Shougeng is recovering his strength, the pressure on the future of Zhangzhou is very great, we have been away from Fujian for a long time, I don't know if Master Wen is safe! ”

Zhang Shijie nodded and said: "Wen Tianxiang does lead the troops well, has prestige in the army and civil officials, and the local people also respect him, it was my fault to force him to leave in Fuzhou at that time, and I was indeed a little impatient." ”

"Don't look back on the past, now that we have soldiers in front and behind, let's find a safe way to retreat first and settle our hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Although this small island is rich in water and soil, and there are thousands of acres of land for reclamation, it is not a long-term solution. ”

Zhang Shijie nodded and said: "That's true, Zhu Qing and Zhang Hongfan's pursuers are strong, and there are cannons to open the way, we are difficult to match." Why don't you order a team of people tomorrow and open the way forward to recapture Xinhui County? ”

Lu Xiufu said: "Lord Zhang, whether you are going forward or retreating, it may be right, you must have confidence in yourself and believe in the combat capability of our army." It's like this morning's Huyan Aoki's victory over the Yuan soldiers, but with the fighting spirit to die, a fight was found that the Yuan soldiers were nothing more than that, and then the confidence increased greatly, and the combat power was even better, so the Yuan soldiers who were killed fell into the water. ”

"Indeed, once our army is powerful, its combat power cannot be underestimated, and when it comes to fighting a favorable battle and adversity, it is completely two armies, and this situation has lasted for many years, and it is the malaise of our dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on military force, which is deeply rooted and difficult to improve for a while!"

The two changed their previous struggles with each other, and really discussed the current situation with their hearts, analyzed the possible battle situation in the future, etc., until the sky was slightly white, and their interest was still undiminished.

"Lord Lu, hurry up and go back and rest, I'll go out to inspect the camp and just send you ashore!"

Zhang Shijie smiled, and some of the knots in the hearts of the two were unraveled, which was of great help to the implementation of the government in the future, but I don't know if this result came a little late.

On the riverbank, the big ships are connected to the big boats, and the small boats are set up with small boats, and a long snake formation is opened, just like the method of Cao Cao in the Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms. However, the Cao army was defeated by fire, how could the descendants take the same path, the link of the Song army was not an iron cable, and the hull was smeared with non-flammable cement and other materials to prevent fire, and equipped with water dragon guns that could quickly extinguish the fire, not afraid of the fire attack tactics of the Yuan soldiers.

Zhao Tianyou woke up early, and together with the other two subordinates left behind, blocked the way up the mountain from the eagle's beak rock, which also meant that the three of them could no longer go down to get water, and could only rely on a few poured water stored to survive.

"General Zhao, we don't like to drink water, and we have to pee out after drinking, these are left for the general to wash his face and rinse his mouth, hehe!" The simple-tempered little soldier Sangou moved a few pours of water to the cave where Zhao Tianyou was resting.
