"Stop shooting, let's return to ......" Soon Hong Tao stopped fighting, because firing five hundred meters away, the 80mm deck guns of the armed cargo ship were not powerful enough, even if they hit the hull of the Mongolian naval division, it was not enough to cause too much damage, and a little leakage of water did not matter to a large ship of several hundred tons, and it could be blocked while walking. It is impossible to disrupt the formation of hundreds of warships by relying on the naval guns on one ship of the Jinhe alone, even if everyone stops still and does not fight back, and you get close to the fight one by one, these gunners will not be able to finish the fight. Instead of wasting time and energy here, and not affecting the advance speed of the Mongolian sailors, it is better to go back and resupply the supplies, and then come out together is a threat.

"Heavenly spirits, earth spirits...... Come on a tropical storm......" On the way back, Hong Tao's mouth was not idle, as long as he could think of all kinds of spells, he recited them all three times, so that Weng Ya didn't dare to stand by his side anymore, for fear that Master Hong didn't play any of the exercises well and affected himself.

Hong Tao was anxious, it would take at least more than a day to go back and forth, enough for the Mongolian sailors to advance another three or four hundred kilometers, so that they would be close to the mouth of the Yangtze River. Once they break through the Yangtze River, it will be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, find any place, as long as there is a port, they can land, and even directly use a boat to rush the beach. With their ruthlessness, they can't do anything.

On the sea, Hong Tao is not afraid of anyone, but if he is on the shore, Hong Tao is basically not energetic. Three hundred ships, even if each ship carries a hundred people, that's 30,000 people! What is the concept of 30,000 Mongolian elite soldiers coming ashore? It's not that Hong Tao looks down on the Southern Song Army, judging from their previous achievements, 10,000 Mongolian elite soldiers can make them flee in the field.

Besides, there was no main force of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Jiangnan region at all. Let those soldiers and townsmen fight against the Mongol elite soldiers? How many runs. Maybe you have to be a leading party for others. Even if the main force can be drawn back from the northern defense line. Not to mention that it was too late in time, could it be that the Mongol Empire only prepared a sea landing force this time? Although Hong Tao is not a military strategist, he can come up with it with his toes crossed, and such a landing operation regardless of losses will 100% have a backhand.

Maybe as soon as the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty in the northern defense line was transferred back, the army of the Mongol Empire would have to attack from the land. It doesn't matter how many warships and how many advanced weapons you have. It couldn't save the Southern Song Dynasty, at best, it caused a little trouble to the Mongol Empire going south, and it didn't help.

But I don't know if Hong Tao's mantras are incomplete, or the one in the sky doesn't want to hear them at all, anyway, until the next morning, when the main fleet returned to the Lisi Islands, the weather was still clear, not to mention the tropical storm, and not even a cloud came.

"Girl, give the command to the first mate. You go to sleep, and I'll call you when I go. It's an order, execute it right away. Seeing the outline of the desert island from afar, Hong Tao's heart calmed down, and at the same time he remembered that there was a pregnant woman on the ship. Although the Jinhe Empire does not have a perfect law for the protection of women and children, it is impossible for a pregnant woman to climb up and down to command the supply, this work should be done by herself, she should not have promised to come with her in the first place, and she will suffer by herself.

"......" Weng Ya didn't dare to object this time, but it was inevitable to pouting and secretly glaring at Hong Tao.

"Dangdangdang...... Dangdang ...... "Hong Tao doesn't plan to deal with Weng Ya, this child is crazy, the more you fight with her, the more you fight her, ignore her and shame her, she will be down-to-earth." But before Weng Ya turned around and entered the cabin, the alarm bell on the mast suddenly rang, startling Hong Tao.

"I'm full! Come on, come on, come down, I'll give you activity muscles! Hong Tao was so angry, he pulled his neck and slammed at the top of the mast, scaring away all the seabirds who tried to get close to Hengyan.

"Your Majesty, there is a situation ahead, it is Mojiao's ship, they sent a rescue signal, it seems that there is a conflict with the Great Song Sailors, and many ships are surrounding the sea area in front of our supply station." At this time, the first mate came over and translated the flag of the flag bearer to Hong Tao.

“…… I'm a mud horse! I'll help you fight the Mongols, and you ****** copy Lao Tzu's back road! I'll show you what a rat looks like when it's in power! Hong Tao was stunned for a moment, then his whole face was distorted, he pushed away the first mate, threw off his shoes, and climbed up to the lookout platform of the backmast with his bare feet along the rigging. Holding the binoculars and looking at them for only a minute, he climbed down like a big horse monkey again, and began to curse as soon as his feet landed.

"Hang the battle flag! Full sails! Tell Bojiao that people are on the boat! Gun loading, follow the flagship shooting! After scolding, another series of orders shouted, and then pushed the helmsman away, personally held the steering wheel, took out a cigar from his pocket and put it in his mouth, his eyes stared at the front and never spoke again, but his chest fell together, and it was difficult to hide the anger in his heart.

What he saw from the lookout almost made him vomit blood, dozens of warships of the Southern Song Dynasty Navy Division surrounded the 1st and 2nd Attack Fleets anchored in the anchorage of the supply depot, almost close to the ship. In this case, the attacking fleet could not move at all unless it opened the way with shells. The problem was that the ships of both attack fleets had come back with all their ammunition, and there were no shells available to fight them.

In addition to this, the rumbling of artillery was already heard from the shore, and at first hearing the 80-mm deck guns firing. What does this mean? This indicates that someone is trying to land! Lang Ya, who was guarding the supply depot, was returning fire with deck guns with Marines. According to the order that Hong Tao gave to Langya when he left, no one was allowed to approach this supply station, even if the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty came.

Once these ammunition are gone, your fleet will be toothless tigers, and you can't use it, so you can't let the sailors fight with crossbows and short knives. As long as someone tried to force their way here, Langya would treat them as enemies, and now it seemed that he was carrying out his orders.

For Southern Song Dynasty officials such as Song Lizong, Zheng Qingzhi and Wu Qian, Hong Tao was still relatively polite. They have had contact with themselves and have a deep conversation, they are not the kind of pure politicians who are too fucked up, at least they haven't used that set of methods with themselves, and they are also people who want to do something serious. However, most of the Southern Song Dynasty officials themselves had never been in contact, and their style and style made Hong Tao reluctant to contact them.

Now it is definitely not Zheng Qingzhi and Wu Qian who are besieging their fleet and supply depots, they know themselves relatively well, and Wen Nan, the imperial foreign minister, should not do such a thing that can easily cause friction. As for who brought the Southern Song Dynasty sailors, Hong Tao didn't want to ask, no matter who it was, as long as he dared to move his fleet, it was the enemy. Dealing with the enemy Hong Tao has always been a first-strike strategy, any consequences can be ignored, the big deal is that the Southern Song Dynasty itself is not saved, you can die if you want to, don't drag yourself to die together.

On the sea in front of the supply station, next to each ship of the royal fleet, there was at least one warship of the Southern Song Dynasty naval division, and the sailors on both sides were on the deck, but they had not yet moved. The real action was made by a few sand boats in front of the supply depot, which were carrying a full load of soldiers to attack the beach in an attempt to land. But the solid and shotgun fired from the several deck guns on the beach were so powerful that two sand boats had already been sunk in the shallow sea, and only one sand boat had successfully washed up on the beach. But the people on this ship were even worse, the deck guns fired solid bullets were not very powerful, but after switching to shotguns, a dozen were a big fan. There can be no living creature within 100 meters or 20 meters. More than half of the 100 Southern Song soldiers on the sand boat were killed or wounded, and the rest were all lying on the back of the sand boat, not even daring to lift their heads.

"Turn to Mingzhou Port, this is a forbidden place for sailors!" After seeing Hong Tao's fleet, two warships of the Southern Song Dynasty Navy Division came up to meet them, waving flags as they went, trying to prevent the main fleet from approaching the supply station.
