Since Zhang Kui is a believer of Zhao Bing, he certainly tells everyone about what he knows, which makes Liu Shen’s strength thoroughly understand.         w?w     w                                                                                             �

?b?i?q?u?At the beginning of his attack on Jing'ao, Liu Shen's army had only more than 400 warships, but many were seized in the battle with the court. For the first time, nearly 500 warships of all sizes were captured and they were incorporated into the army. Although there were losses in the subsequent battles, there were still more than 600 warships. In the subsequent pursuit, 200 warships of the Song army were captured again.

Now he has almost wiped out all the enemy's front troops, but the warships led by Liu Shen are still not less than 600. Although Zhao Bing had overestimated their strength before, the facts were more than he expected. Although the defeated front army suffered very little losses this time, the battle just now almost exhausted their energy and consumed most of the ammunition. However, the enemy only lost 30% of its strength. He was really unsure whether the next battle could be sustained.

"Zhang Kui, which army do you captured have been organized into?" Zhao Bing asked for a moment of contemplation.

"Your Highness, Liu... Liu's thieves were worried that the people who had just surrendered would be unstable and would surrender and rebel again, so they were all incorporated into the central army. The front army was basically the northerners and the surrendered troops recruited in the early years. Although the number of people was small, they were the strongest." Zhang Kui replied immediately.

"Well, as you said, half of the central army are the officials who have just been surrendered!" Zhao Bing said while chewing the jerky. Seeing Zhang Kui swallowing his saliva, he knew that he was hungry, so he reached out to grab the jerky and handed it to him.

"Thank you, that's exactly what it is!" Zhang Kui took the jerky and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently and said vaguely.

"Sit down and eat slowly, there is still here." Zhao Bing saw his starving ghost, and pushed the food box forward, and then ordered Xiao Huang's sect to do it, "Give him all the water!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhang Kui thought he was really hungry, so he sat down after giving a gift, grabbed the kettle and drank it all in one go, then pulled the food box on his legs and kept eating it. Zhang Hao and others saw that he was so rude, and were about to scold him, but Zhao Bing stopped him and ordered someone to get him another pot of water.

"Zhang Kui, do you care about your fullness when eating in the Tartars?" Seeing Zhang Kui eating for a while and drinking half a pot of water, Zhao Bing asked.

"Your Highness, it's not to be hiding. The Tartars can eat enough on weekdays. But after going out to sea this time, they fought one after another, and there was only a lot of food and fresh water left. And these were first tightly attached to the Mongolians and those northerners, and there was not much left in our hands. For example, I could only live half hungry and half full." Zhang Kui sighed.

"How many people in the central army occupied? How many days did you have not had enough time?" The Mongols' division of the population of the occupied areas into four levels has always been used as a negative typical propaganda. Zhao Bing certainly knew. The Northern people refer to the Han population who remained in the northern region as early as the Liao Dynasty and the Jingkang Incident of the Song Dynasty. After a hundred years, he had little recognition of the Song Dynasty, so he was trusted by the Mongols; while the Southern people were Han people in the Jiangnan region occupied by Mongolia after the large-scale southward. They were not believed by them, but regarded as slaves and had the lowest status.

"Report to Your Highness, after leaving Jing'ao, the food supply was not enough. Although some of the seized, they were all controlled by the Mongols. Now six or seven days have passed. The Tartars do not know the nature of water, so most of the navy were surrendered southerners. The former army could account for about 60%, and the central army should be more." Zhang Kui thought about it and said.

"It was born with the same roots, so why not fight each other!" Zhao Bing sighed, and the victory just now made him feel bored.

"Your Highness, two years ago, the young man was still a soldier under Zhang Shijie, but he was defeated again and again, which was unconvincing. If there were people like Your Highness in the court who led the army, why should we be thieves!" Zhang Kui said.

"Take him down and take good care of him. Don't treat them badly." Zhao Bing said to the guards beside him.

"Your Highness, if you don't give up, I'm willing to join the general's mansion to serve you!" Zhang Kui took a few steps, suddenly turned around and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Okay, after the war, I am willing to join our general's mansion, and I will not refuse anyone to come. Let's go down and rest first!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

After the prisoners were examined, Zhao Bing felt much more at ease. As Zhang Kui said, Liu Shen's army had been short of food and water for many days, and his combat power would inevitably be damaged. And his conservative people accounted for 60% of the people in the south, and the newly attached surrendered troops accounted for half. Not only did these people have low treatment, they would not be willing to work hard. Moreover, those who were captured and were incorporated into the army were not as good as Zhang Kui's Song army who surrendered earlier in the years. They had been with the court for a few days in the first ten days. Now they turned to let them beat the court and must have some concerns. They would probably work but not work hard during the battle. In this way, they would have more chances of winning.

"Your Highness, the whistleboat returns. Some hans came to help the war, and the first battalion of central troops stationed in Boao also came to help!" Chen Renweng, who was dealing with the aftermath, hurried over and said.

"Oh, so we will have another help." Zhao Bing said in surprise. It is rare for them to have more soldiers and soldiers now. "Where has Tong Liu been?"

"Your Highness, Liu Dutong all started the Baisha Navy about twenty miles away." Chen Renweng replied.

"It will take another hour to arrive." Zhao Bing pondered for a moment, "Then we can wait for reinforcements as long as we try our best to hold Liu Shen."

"Your Highness's intention is to wipe out all the enemy's troops? But our strength is too disparity from the enemy. Now the imperial fleet has already gone far. It's better to wait until all the reinforcements arrive before making any conspiracy!" Chen Renweng said in surprise. The original plan was to drag Liu Shen's army and save the imperial fleet, but Your Highness is going to eat them now, and this change is too big.

"Liu Shen seems powerful, but his battles have not been rested for a long time. Now that the food and fresh water have been exhausted, they are at the end of their strength, and they can be given a heavy blow to completely solve the danger of the court." Zhao Bing said. Liu Shen has no infantry and cavalry support now, so he can be said to have been singled out and has a rare opportunity. If he lets him go this time and the court settles in Qiongzhou, he will gather a large army to attack Qiongzhou again. Since this is the case, it is better to damage his navy first and weaken their water battle capabilities.

"Your Highness..."

"Chen Renweng obeyed the order!" Zhao Bing was determined and did not want to listen to him again.

"I will obey the order!" His Highness brought out the military order, and Chen Renweng had to obey.

"I ordered you to prepare reinforcements, use the captured enemy ships to pose the banner of the general's mansion, and set up suspicious troops on Nanzhi Island, so that the enemy will not dare to move forward rashly. At the same time, use rocket ships to intercept the enemy, disrupt their marching queues, and try to hold them up."

"Zheng Yong listened to the order, you will assist Chief Chen to command the soldiers and accept their dispatch!" Zhao Binglian general ordered.

"Your Highness, then you..." Chen Renweng said anxiously when he knew that his Highness was going to take risks again.

"When the enemy ship arrives near Nanzhi Island, I will lead a dragon boat to break out from the waterway between Pingzhi Island, and attack their commander ships, completely disrupting their formation, and jointly annihilate the enemy when reinforcements arrive!" Zhao Bing arranged, "We know that we have few troops, so we have also found you a help!"

"Bird?!" Chen Renweng followed His Highness's finger and looked into the air, saying in confusion... (To be continued.)
