Chapter 475

Hundreds of warships of the Song army entered Quanzhou Bay, and according to the scheduled plan, they used the tide to reach the mouth of Jinjiang River and headed towards Houzhu Port. The guards and baggage fleet stayed in the bay five miles away from the coast.'ΩΔBiΔ    Quge Zhao Bing climbed the top deck of the Sheji volleyball and looked south. Quanzhou City was far away. Although there was no grand scene of mooring tens of thousands of ships in the harbor in the historical books, there were also masts in several ports. Countless flags were erected on the city walls, and soldiers went up to the city one after another, and their arrival was obviously already.

"Your Majesty, we came suddenly this time. That guy from Sodu had to return as soon as he arrived in Zhangzhou. He was so tired that he vomited blood!" Zhao Mengjin looked at the city and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain is very good. It will be much easier for us to attack the city by transferring this powerful general of Suodu to Zhangzhou!" Zhang Shijie also stroked his beard and smiled.

"Super Shu, although Suodu was trapped, the troops in the city are still not weak. The current task is to quickly seize the Nanyi City as a foothold, the navy will control the east bank of Jinjiang and defeat the Quanzhou navy, block the port, and you must not rashly attack the city." Zhao Bing said.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will mobilize troops to capture Yicheng immediately!" Zhao Mengjin said.

"Remember after capturing Yicheng, the infantry immediately besieged the city. Never let Pu Shougen run away!" Zhao Bing reminded again.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will remember that the old man Pu Shougeng's family wealth is in the city, and I'm afraid he can't bear to run away!" Zhao Mengjin gave a gift and changed the boat to the Central Army to supervise the battle to attack Yicheng.

"Liu Dutong, the navy must be determined to defeat the Quanzhou navy quickly and seize and control the ships in the port. All ships of the Pu family, large and small, are confiscated. Other merchant ships are not allowed to board the ship without resistance, nor are they harassed at will, but they are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization." Zhao Bing turned to Liu Zhuyan and said.

"I obey my orders and fulfill my mission!" After Liu Zhu bowed, he also changed his ships and commanded the battle, besieging the enemy ships that were about to leave the port to fight.

"Your Majesty, it's strong wind outside the cabin, so let's go back to the cabin!" Ying Jieyan stepped forward and said as he saw the wind getting stronger and stronger.

"Yeah!" Zhao Bing nodded obediently. He knew that all he could do now was this, and he knew that the result of the battle would end soon.

Although Yicheng is called a city, it is actually just a flood control dike built along Jinjiang that is ten feet high and eight feet wide. Its protection ability is not strong, and it is okay to block the attack of pirates. With the Qiongzhou army's ability to attack, it will not take too much effort to capture Yicheng. And Pu Shougen would not place heavy troops on this weak line of defense, hoping to block his attack with this. He had already investigated in advance that in the Battle of Yashan, the Quanzhou naval army recruited by Zhang Hongfan suffered a lot of losses. It is difficult to recover its vitality in such a short time. In addition, when he came suddenly, it would be good that it would not be sunk on the dock in a hurry.

'boom……'

‘Bang, bang…’ Shortly after returning to the cabin, the explosions of rockets and crossbows fired suddenly sounded outside the cabin. The two armies had already joined forces, and Zhao Bing curled up on the soft couch and fell asleep deeply. Wang De gently covered His Majesty with a quilt, and Ying Jieyan and others also quietly retreated because they all knew that His Majesty was too tired these days...

That day, Zhao Bing agreed on the location and construction of the salt farm and the next resettlement of the military and civilians who came with the court, and then handed over all this to 6 Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang to further implement it. He shifted all his energy to the upcoming Eastern Expedition, and convened several chief officials of the Privy Council and the Eastern Expedition Army to discuss combat plans for several consecutive days. At the same time, the Affairs Bureau, various spies and scouts also kept sending the latest information about Quanzhou.

During the discussion, Zhao Bing and everyone thought that Sodu was the enemy attacking Quanzhou. With him in Quanzhou, the battle would be a fierce battle. He had to defeat him first before the troops could reach the city and launch an attack. The Song army was obviously at a disadvantage with the hostile attack. If the losses were huge, they would lose the ability to continue to attack the city even if they won, and they would probably have a waste of time. Therefore, they agreed with Zhao Bing's plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain. However, how to coax him out of Quanzhou and then seize Quanzhou first after he was deceived.

Zhang Shijie suggested that the Eastern Expedition Army be divided into two groups, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and one by one, the other by one. In this way, the Sodus can go out to help Zhangzhou, and then use this side army to hold it back, creating opportunities for the troops and horses to attack Quanzhou. Everyone has no objection to using Zhangzhou as bait, because Zhangzhou is also a coastal town, and although it is not as prosperous as Guangzhou and Quanzhou, this city is located at the junction of Guangdong and Fujian provinces. It can attack Guangzhou to the west, and threaten Quanzhou to the east, and there is a lot of room for development. Therefore, once Zhangzhou is threatened, the Sodus, who is in charge of Fujian's military and political affairs, will not sit idly by and see it fall, and will definitely lead troops out to aid.

Zhao Bing believed that using Zhangzhou as bait to instigate others could provide assistance, but he did not agree with the division of troops and attacks. Because Qiongzhou was already short of troops, he dispatched almost all the active troops on the island this time. The defense power on the island was already very weak, and he had only collected 50,000 troops. If he divided his troops and fought, it would be obvious that the side division attacking Zhangzhou would be a victim.

Because if the attack is not fierce, Suo will not move. If you want to create momentum, more troops will be required, and the troops that will attack Quanzhou will inevitably be weakened. The city of Quanzhou is solid, and the possibility of a battle is almost impossible. Once the war is in a stalemate, in order to "retain" Suodu, this partial division can only bite the bullet and lose it. In addition, the attack on Quanzhou may also fail due to insufficient troops and weak attacks. In this way, not only will the purpose be not achieved, but the general will be lost.

Zhao Bing knew in his previous life that Mao Weiren’s principle of using troops when his troops were weak was to concentrate his troops to annihilate the enemy. He must not attack everywhere, causing the troops to be dispersed. But everyone thought that the little emperor was whimsical, wanted to eat meat, but did not want to bait. How could there be such a good thing in the world? According to his thoughts, this is simply an unsolvable problem. Unless he uses more troops, he will not be able to be reborn even if his grandson is reborn!
