The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 335 Leizhou War ([-])

More than ten miles east of Haikang County, on the coast.

Zhang Jue hurried here with thousands of soldiers, and then set up a defense line on the beach for several miles.

Then only a few ten minutes later, Su Liuyi also led nearly 10 Leizhou troops from Haikang County to arrive.

Ever since he learned that Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were going to attack Leizhou along the coastal road, he had gathered all the Leizhou troops who no longer had the task of transporting grain to Haikang County, leaving only a thousand troops left in Suixi and Xuwen counties. Yu garrison.These garrison troops are roughly equivalent to the armed police troops stationed in the local area in later generations. Although they are under the jurisdiction of the Leizhou Army, they are independent from the Leizhou Army.

A scene in full swing on the beach.

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

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

Eight hundred grenade launchers and more than two thousand Thunderbolt vehicles lined up along the beach.And in the back, there is the Flying Army standing by at any time.

At about the same time, a warship of the Yuan army suddenly appeared on the sea.

They suddenly appeared from the sea level, mighty and mighty, there were hundreds of them, it could be said to cover the sky and cover the earth.

Looking around, the naval battleships of the Yuan Army could not see the end at all on the sea.

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

Then the voices of harmony in the Song army continued to ring out.

The arrow catches Hyun, and the Perak car is also pushed to the front.The shield soldiers even swarmed forward and were at the forefront.

The drums in the Yuan army's fleet were beating unhurriedly, and the naval warships followed the rhythm of the drums, riding the tide and approaching the coast.

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

They may know about the defeat of Boyan and Ye Su'er, but they may not know that Dali has dispatched troops and is approaching Leizhou.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have led their troops to the coast of Leizhou in a hurry, hundreds of large ships straddled the sea, just rested for a while, and couldn't wait to come towards Haikang County.

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

The sound of the drums was transmitted from here, but the Yuanjun commander's ship was not found among the warships of the sea.

Because there is no handsome flag flying on any ship, and even the sound of drums cannot be heard from which ship.

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

The flags were fluttering outside the ship, and there were many soldiers, while the two people in the cabin were sitting face to face, talking.

The expressions of both of them were not dignified. It seemed that they had gradually forgotten the pain of the defeat in Quzhou.

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

"yes……"

Li Heng murmured and sighed: "I didn't expect Marshal Boyan and Deputy Marshal Ye Su'er to lose so badly. In terms of military strategy, there are few people in our court who can compare with them. I think we will follow Marshal Boyan." Conquering the Song Dynasty, which time in the past was it not the direction of the soldiers, and the enemy fled? 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, I think Let me ask you a heart-to-heart question, this time we two brothers are leading an army of 15 to attack Leizhou, do you really think we can take it?"

"Do you really want to hear the truth?"

Zhang Hongfan smiled wryly.

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

Zhang Hongfan shook his head, "I still have the confidence to win Haikang. However, I don't have the confidence to face the little emperor of the Song Dynasty."

Li Heng was silent.

That's right, even Boyan and Ye Su'er's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated. Although the Song Dynasty also lost troops and generals, could they stop it?
Li Heng's eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was a little cold, "Then after we take down Haikang, shall we..."

Zhang Hongfan said quietly: "Capture the royal family and nobles of the Song Dynasty alive, and slaughter the city to gain power!"

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

Standing on the top floor of the warship, he looked at the coast.At this time, Song soldiers lined up along the coast could already be seen.

Li Heng walked out of the cabin and said softly, "Emperor Song should be coming back to Leizhou soon, right?"

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

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

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

In the sunny weather, the drums of the Yuan army suddenly swelled, and hundreds of naval battleships slowly spread towards the sides.

The catapult at the bow was pushed to the front, and the soldiers put the thunderbolt in the nest, ready to go.

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

The warship Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan were in was in the last row. They leaned on the railing, staring at the coast in a daze.

They didn't dare to show the location of the handsome ship with great fanfare, because they were afraid that the Song army would use some tactics against them.

They also received a lot of rumors about the decisive battle in Guangxi.The beheading tactics of the Song Army have really made countless Yuan Dynasty generals feel timid.

To the surprise of the two of them, when the boat array was several hundred meters away from the coast, countless water waves suddenly exploded ahead.

Grenade!
Only grenades have such a long range.

Even a catapult cannot have such a long range.

The catapult specially invented by the Yuan army for throwing thunderbolts can only throw thunderbolts about 500 meters away.

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

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng's expression changed at the same time, and they looked at each other.

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

Zhao Dongting used grenades to injure the Yuan army repeatedly in Guangxi. He didn't think that the Song Dynasty could produce so many grenades in a short period of time.

But the actual situation is that in order to prevent the excessive proliferation of firearms, Zhao Dongting has not manufactured grenade launchers at all these days.

Zhang Hongfan's bushy eyebrows were tightly frowned, "No, even if Emperor Song marched at full speed, he shouldn't have rushed back to Haikang so soon."

Li Hengdao: "Then it should be their Flying Dragon Army who rushed back first."

Zhang Hongfan suddenly gasped, "Brother, what do you think will happen if we get these grenades?"

Li Heng understood, "Doesn't that mean that Song Jun's left hand and right arm have been lost?"

Both of them were not ordinary people, and after just a few conversations, they had already figured out the general details of Song Jun.

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

The sea battleship is so huge that the power of the grenadier is no longer so obvious.Often, it takes more than ten shells to sink a naval battleship.

Although this is still a head-on blow to the warships of the Yuan army, in the final analysis, not many warships of the Yuan army were damaged.

But Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng came this time with the idea of ​​success or benevolence, and they didn't take this loss to heart.

Quzhou was defeated, and they managed to win the opportunity to lead the army again, and this time they must avenge their shame.

If they were defeated again, the two of them would lose face and go back to Dadu to meet Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan.

The mentality of the generals can often affect the soldiers. Therefore, the soldiers of the Yuan army are also very fierce this time.

Amidst the sound of continuous explosions, after a naval battleship was blown up, the soldiers of the Yuan army jumped into the water, but they still swam towards the shore.

There are also many small boats on the naval battleships. The soldiers climbed onto the small boats, paddled together, and headed towards the coast at an extremely fast speed against the shells.

In just a few minutes, the naval battleship of the Yuan army was less than 500 meters away from the coast.

The sound of dong dong sounded one after another on the naval battleship of the Yuan army.

Thunderbolts were thrown out by the artillery cart, flew high into the sky, and landed on the coast.

At the same time, the artillery throwing vehicles of the Song Army on the coast also threw thunderbolts at the naval battleships of the Yuan Army.

After the Yuan Dynasty developed the Thunderbolt, they no longer had to be bombed foolishly like before.

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

Zhang Jue, Su Liuyi and other generals kept shouting, "Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"

When the Yuan army had a small boat approaching the coast within two or three hundred meters, the Thunderbolt chariots in the Song army also rang.

The crossbow arrows as thick as a baby's arm were fired, and with the sound of breaking through the air, they reached the surface of the sea.

Some crossbow bolts were shot empty, but more crossbow bolts were shot right at those small boats, and then exploded with a bang.

The soldiers of the Yuan army on the boat screamed and fell into the water.Some popped up quickly, while others sank forever.

Thunderbolt Cannon is not as powerful as Thunderbolt, but it can cause considerable damage to small boats.

The losses of the Yuan army gradually increased, and in a short period of time, dozens of naval battleships had been bombed and sunk.

However, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng just stared at it, and had no intention of asking for money.
