Chapter 459: Leizhou War (2) (1)

Li Heng followed out of the cabin and whispered: "Emperor Song should be rushing back to Leizhou at this time, right?"

Zhang Hongfan said: "It should take several days."

Li Heng said: "Then we must win Hikvision in just a few days."

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

In the sunny wind, the sound of Yuan snare drums suddenly stirred, and hundreds of naval warships slowly spread to both sides.

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

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

The sea warship where Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan are located is located in the last row. They lean on the railings, looking at the coast in a daze, dazed and dazed.

They did not dare to show the location of the commanding ship with great fanfare, and they were afraid that the Song army would use any strategy against them.

They also received a lot of news about the decisive battle in Guangxi. The Song army's beheading tactics have really made countless Yuan Dynasty generals timid.

What surprised the two of them was that when the ship array was still hundreds of meters away from the coast, countless waves suddenly exploded in front of them.

Grenade launcher!

Only grenade launchers have such a long range.

Even a catapult car cannot have such a long range.

The newly invented catapult cart specially used to throw thunderstorms by the Yuan army can only throw thunderstorms for about 500 meters.

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

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng both changed their qualities at the same time and looked at each other.

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

Zhao Dongting repeatedly damaged the Yuan army with grenade launchers in Guangxi. He did not think that the Song Dynasty could create so many grenade launchers in just a short time.

The reality is that in order to prevent the firearms from flooding too much, the Ministry of Military Industry has not manufactured grenades in these days.

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

Li Heng said: "That should be their Feilong Army who rushed back first."

Zhang Hongfan suddenly exclaimed, "Brother, what would happen if we got these grenade launchers?"

Li Heng understood, "Doesn't that meant he had removed Song Jun's right-hand arm?"

Neither of them were ordinary people. After just a few conversations, they had already figured out the general details of Song Jun.

The drums continued to sound, and hundreds of naval warships continued to advance towards the coast in the fire.

The naval warship is extremely huge, making the power of the grenade launcher no longer so obvious. Often, more than ten shells are needed to sink a naval warship.

Although this still caused a head-on blow to the Yuan army warships, after all, not many Yuan army warships were damaged.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were thinking of becoming a leader this time, and they didn't take this loss to heart.

After the defeat in the province, they finally got the opportunity to lead the army to fight again, and this time they had to avenge their shame.

If they lose again, they will not have the face to go back to Dadu to meet Emperor Kublai Khan.

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

Amid the continuous explosions, after a sea warship was blown up, the Yuan soldiers jumped into the water and still swam towards the shore.

Some of the sea warships put down many small boats, and the soldiers climbed onto the boats, paddled together, and also headed towards the coast at an extremely fast speed with shells.

In less than a few minutes, the Yuan army's naval warships were less than 500 meters away from the coast.

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

Thunders were thrown out by gunfire vehicles, flew to the sky and landed onto the coast.

At the same time, the Song army's artillery chariots on the coast also shot thunder at the Yuan army's naval warships.

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

There were constant explosions on the sea and on the beach, with waves and dust splashing everywhere.

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

When the Yuan army had a small boat approaching the coast only two or three hundred meters, the thunder chariot in the Song army also sounded.

Crossbow arrows as thick as babies' arms were fired out, with the sound of breaking through the air and reaching the sea.

Some crossbow arrows were shot empty, but more crossbow arrows were shot on the small boats and then exploded.

The Yuan soldiers on the ship screamed and fell into the water. Some of them quickly emerged, while others sank forever.

The thunder cannon is not as powerful as the sky thunder, but the damage it can cause to the boat is quite considerable.

The losses of the Yuan army gradually increased, and in just a short time, the sea warships had been blown up and sunk as many as dozens of ships.

However, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were just staring at each other and had no intention of asking for gold.

In this way, the war finally spread to Leizhou again.

This is undoubtedly very different from Zhao Dongting and Qin Han's idea. To be more precise, it should be Qin Han's idea.

He originally told Zhao Dongting that as long as he could defeat Boyan and Yesuer, the Yuan Dynasty would be frightened, and Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng would inevitably retreat.

But now, Boyan and Yesuer were defeated, but Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng still launched an attack on Hikkam.

This may be said to be because Zhao Dongting delayed too long in Xiujiang Town, defeating Boyan and Yesuer too late, so when the news of his defeat came back to Dadu, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng had already led their troops to Leizhou. Even if Kublai Khan really wanted them to withdraw his troops, he would not have time to pass the imperial edict to the two before they arrived in Leizhou.

But the reality is that after receiving the news of Guangxi's defeat, Kublai Khan had no intention of letting Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng withdraw his troops at all.

On that day, after receiving the war report, Kublai Khan to pieces in front of all the ministers, saying, "I will destroy the Song Dynasty!"

He hadn't been so angry for no reason, and he made the ministers below quiet.

I think he was invincible for his military life and his military strength was invincible. When did his army suffer such a crushing defeat?

He knew Boyan and Yesuer's abilities and understood very well that the Yuan army would be defeated, not because our army was incompetent, but because the enemy was too cunning.

Kublai Khan had a strong personality and was slapped in the face like this. How could he give up if Mingzhu was captured?

If it weren't for the fact that the country was really empty, he would have to send a large army to Leizhou to destroy the Song Dynasty.

But now when it comes to this matter, it is hard to say whether Qin Han misjudged Kublai Khan's personality and made a wrong judgment, or whether he deliberately misled Zhao Dongting and lured Zhao Dongting to fight with the Yuan army, and both sides suffered losses, creating opportunities for him to conquer the world in Shu.
