The red clouds in the sky suddenly caught my eye.

Then, time soon reached night.

The red glow faded away and night fell. The wind on the sea gradually became violent.

The sea waves slapped the reefs and made a rumbling sound. The sea at night was deeper, making people feel timid.

And under such circumstances, Zhang Hongfan led more than 200 naval warships to the coast of Haikang County while the night was in the dark.

In just a few dozen minutes later, Li Heng led nearly 200 warships, a total of about 50,000 soldiers, to the inland sea of ​​Leizhou.

Several miles behind the Leizhou coast, the Song army camp was silent, with only the brazier swaying.

After Zhao Dongting took office, he spent most of his time leading the army to fight and he was very particular about the army. Now the appearance of the Song army is far from comparable before.

Each guard stood with his chest raised and his head raised, so he could not look straight.

After about two hours, several fast horses rushed to the front of the camp and shouted before they even got off the horse: "There is an emergency military report!"

After saying that, several fast horses were approaching, and the horse knight quickly turned over and dismounted.

The soldiers guarding the camp gate hurriedly led a few people to the barracks.

Zhang Jue was woken up in his sleep.

The soldier knelt outside and reported: "Military orders, the Yuan army has more than 200 naval warships, only more than ten miles away from the beach."

Zhang Jue's voice came from the camp, a little solemn, "Beat the drum and gather troops, prepare to fight!"

There was a deafening drum sound in the Song army's barracks, and many soldiers ran out of the tents one after another, and then they gathered into small teams and ran outside the barracks.

In just about twenty minutes, nearly 30,000 Song troops gathered outside the military camp.

Zhang Jue did not make any pre-war mobilization, but just led the army directly to the beach and set up defense lines.

Firearms such as thunderbolts, gunboats, grenade launchers, etc. were soon arranged along the beach.

However, there were not many shells left in the Flying Dragon Army, only more than a hundred boxes left, piled up in the jungle behind the military formation, a little lonely.

Just after the Song army set up a defense line, Zhang Hongfan led the Yuan army to the near sea, only a kilometer away from the beach.

Zhang Jue raised his hand slightly, ready to order the soldiers to set off fireworks at any time. But at this time, all the naval warships of the Yuan army suddenly stopped.

The Yuan soldiers on the ship threw all the anchors made of steel into the sea water. The sails were also put down.

More than 200 naval warships of the Yuan army stood quietly on the sea.

The rolling waves hit the boat, making a rustling sound, but the huge sea warship just didn't move at all.

Zhang Jue stood on the bluestone on the beach, his trouser legs were splashed with sea water. Seeing the Yuan army's naval warship surrounding the surroundings without attacking, his expression quickly became solemn.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu brothers stood beside him and looked at the sea. Zhao Da couldn't help but mutter: "What is Yuan Jun doing?"

With their brains, they naturally couldn't imagine what Zhang Hongfan was using.

"contain."

Zhang Jue said with a heavy voice: "The Yuan army came but did not attack, so he must be trying to restrain our army. They must have soldiers landed in the rest of the place."

At his level, there are few tricks that can be hidden from him. What's more, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng are not geniuses like Qin Han.

Zhao Da shouted: "Military Order, since that's the case, why are we still staying here?"

Zhang Jue said: "We don't even know where they want to log in now. What can we do? Could we just go back to Hikvision like this?"

He couldn't bear to leave this beach because it was indeed a good place to block Yuan army naval warships.

Zhao Da muttered, "Do you just let them land in another place?"

Zhang Jue pondered for more than ten seconds and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao Hu, send your subordinates to quickly follow the coast to explore the situation!"

"yes!"

Zhao Hu bowed and left.

As a younger brother, he didn't say as much as Zhao Hu, and he seemed much quieter.

Of course, my mind is still the same.

Anyway, these two ugly men can always make actions that make Zhao Dongting laugh and cry.

Several soldiers in the Flying Army quickly rode away on horseback. The sea was still quiet, and the two armies were confronting each other.

The Yuan army was nearly a thousand meters away, and the night was dark, so naturally they could not see the situation in the Song army.

However, before the soldiers under Zhao Hu's command came back, scouts arrived in Haikang County first.

The scout was led by the soldiers in the army to Zhang Jue, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Deputy Military Order, tens of thousands of troops landed on the shore more than 20 miles north of Haikang at night, and was marching towards Haikang. Deputy Military Order Su has led the militia to stop him. He asked me to tell you. If he cannot stop the Yuan army, please retreat to Haikang. Be sure to defend Haikang County before the emperor comes back."

When Zhang Jue heard the soldiers' report, he frowned suddenly, "Director Su Junji Ling led the militia to stop the Yuan army? Isn't this a joke?"

His face was a little anxious.

Although the court has been recruiting militias these days, there are only thousands of militias in Haikang County so far. How can this stop tens of thousands of troops? Wasn't Su Liuyi going to die?

But the scout obviously couldn't answer Zhang Jue's question, he was just silent.

Zhang Jue gritted his teeth several times, and finally said to Zhao Da: "General Zhao, you lead the Feilong Army to help Deputy Su's military order, and you must not let him have any accidents."

Su Liuyi was the most powerful minister, and as a deputy military commander, he would definitely not be able to lose. If he died, it would also have a great blow to the morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

Now the Yuan army naval warships are lying on the sea, but Zhang Jue has no way to split up too many troops and horses to go.

Moreover, he only had less than 30,000 soldiers. Even if he had divided them, how many could he get?

He could only send the most elite Feilong Army over, and did not have much hope to block the Yuan army, and just wanted Su Liuyi not to die on the battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Da hesitated and said: "Deputy Military Order, then here..."

Zhang Jue sighed: "There are not many shells left, and there is no big difference between using them or not..."

There are more than a hundred boxes of shells, only a few thousand in total. The confrontation between the two sides is indeed limited in their role.

When Zhao Da heard this, he bowed: "Then two hundred flying dragon troops will be left here to fire, and only lead the rest of the soldiers."

"good."

Zhang Jue couldn't help but instruct: "Don't let any accident happen to Deputy Su's military order."

Zhao Da nodded and turned around and ran towards the Feilong Army.

Although he was honest, he was not stupid. He knew that Zhang Jue sent him there because only their Feilong Army could protect Su Liuyi.

The Flying Dragon Army not only knows how to use grenade launchers, they are also special forces carefully created by Zhao Dongting with a comprehensive quality that is far superior to ordinary soldiers.

The subjects they usually practiced were moved by Zhao Dongting according to the special forces training subjects in later generations, and naturally there were rescue subjects.

Not long after, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu led nearly 600 flying dragon troops to leave quietly.

Shortly after they left, the Yuan army on the sea also began to launch a tentative attack on the beach.

Many small boats were placed on the Yuan army naval warship, and the soldiers rode on the boat, quietly rowing towards the beach against the waves.

In the dark night, the Song army could not see the situation on the sea. They only vaguely saw that the Yuan army's naval warships had not moved, and they thought they had not attacked.

It was not until the Yuan army's boat appeared under the light of torches that it was vaguely visible that the Song army soldiers suddenly exclaimed, "The Yuan thief is here!"

Such exclamations are getting more and more intense.

Zhang Jue stood on the reef and heard the shouts of these soldiers. Without waiting for the soldiers to report, he shouted suddenly: "Pili chariot, let it go!"

Crossbow arrows shot towards the sea.

The explosion sounded on the sea.

In the night, the quiet sea swallowed the lives of the Yuan army.

But behind the Yuan army's ship formation, Zhang Hongfan was sitting in the cabin and smiled when he heard these explosions.

He didn't even think that these advance troops could capture the beach. All he wanted was to make sure that the Song army would stay here.

Their real killer move lies with Li Heng.

As long as Li Heng successfully approaches Haikang County, the Song army will definitely not be able to take care of each other from the beginning and end. At that time, they will take the initiative.

Zhang Hongfan felt a little excited, feeling that it was about to take revenge. He was even thinking in his heart how to humiliate the royal relatives and nobles in the Song Dynasty after taking over Haikang County. The defeat of Benzhou made him hate the Song Dynasty to the core.
