Song sailors do have exquisite and delicate ship handling skills and combat skills, but there is one thing that they are not as good as the army-the army can eat three meals a day, one meal at ordinary times and two meals during the war.
In addition to staple food and non-staple food, Su Yonglin also tried his best to give the army not only occasional fruit, but also regular meat. When the weather is hot, he can also drink sweetened mung beans and black beans soup.
Soldiers have made contributions, and they can eat and drink on holidays before the army leaves.
Su Yonglin has never been vague about eating, and will definitely do his best to meet the needs of 400,000 troops.
And Song Jun?
It’s common practice to have two meals a day and try your luck. It’s official mercy to have enough to eat.
Don’t even think about non-staple food, fruit, meat, eggs and milk. It belongs to a dream. There is not necessarily something with a little salt and pickles. Even if it is a good meal, what kind of bike do you need if you cheat your stomach?
In the long run, the physique of soldiers in Song Jun is of course very different from that of military soldiers, which shows that the battlefield is short of endurance.
If there is a big gap between the strength of the two sides, such as fighting with the amateur water army of 8 Jin Jun, we can certainly win quickly, but it is not so difficult to confront the same professional army, so we will encounter some problems.
For example, Song Jun tried to make the fire attack the warships, and the warships immediately spread out and did not gather together, so that Song Jun’s fire attack was meaningless. This could not be done quickly
Once the war is prolonged, it will be difficult for Song Jun to persist.
Through a summary, the generals have come to a conclusion-to fight a protracted war with the Song Jun Navy and stick to it, no matter how many injuries you suffer, you will bite them and never let them escape, so that you can win the final victory.
Even so, Zhen De still has his own plan on how to punch holes.
He handed over the landing battle of leading the army to the general Lu Guang, who was going to allocate 3,000 military forces to Lu Guang to lead him to attack Dinghai County from land and destroy the port.
But the real naval battle will continue, so that the Song Jun navy can get used to many challenges from the army and relax the threat from his position.
This Kong Zhende repeatedly ordered the Navy Division I to take the initiative to fight against the Song Jun Navy Division. He personally led the fleet to fight against the Song Jun Navy Division.
From the second day of April to the sixth day of April for four consecutive days, both sides decided to engage in the confrontation between the sea port and the Li port, and both sides suffered a lot.
On the seventh day of April, Li Bao, the commander of Songzhou Navy, personally led one hundred warships to take the initiative to attack Li Port and take the initiative to challenge the navy. The two sides dispatched two hundred warships to fight from noon to sunset before withdrawing troops and going back to rest together.
Both sides suffered losses in the first world war, and no one took advantage. Li Bao was good at water warfare and Kong Zhende did not lose to him.
After several days of fighting, Li Bao almost got a clear idea of the naval combat doorway.
"I don’t know, I always think that the fighting methods of the navy division are quite similar to those of the navy division in the Song Dynasty. Except for some weapons, other places can always find similar places. Is this my illusion?"
Li Bao on the flagship deck seems to be talking to himself.
Chen Xi, the lieutenant around him, replied, "There is no problem that the methods of ship fighting are so similar. I can feel that the navy’s ship handling skills are much worse than our army’s, but the navy is quite tough. Sometimes our army is exhausted and they can continue to fight, which is a great threat to our army."
Li Bao nodded his head.
"That’s how I feel. The navy division is particularly exhausting, but the army can continue to fight for a long time. When our army is exhausted, they can continue to fight. Although the navy division was established soon, it is quite elite.
Moreover, the navy has many warships, many sailors and excellent firearms. Our army can only fight against them by being familiar with the sea area and operating skillfully. However, today, the army attacks our army every day, and the soldiers are getting tired.
Today, I’m going to give a heavy blow to the army by a fleet, so that they can be honest and win some breathing space for us. But I didn’t expect the army to be so tough that it didn’t fall in the wind at the end, and I always insisted that I had a bad feeling. "
Chen Xi had a similar view, but he didn’t know how to solve it and said nothing.
Li Bao looked at the sea and was silent for a while and asked, "Have we asked the imperial court for reinforcements from military forces and ships?"
"Don’t say it’s been cleaned up, but distance support needs some … what do you need? I think it’s just that I’m afraid to fight and don’t want to come! "
Chen Xi was very unhappy and said, "Ten days ago, I said that I was ready to start, and now I am still rectifying! How many ships will it take that long to rectify? A bunch of cowards! Straight Niang thief! "
Li Baowen’s face showed displeasure.
Thinking for a while, Li Bao gave instructions to Chen Xi
"If you send a message to the Privy Council again, you will say that since the First World War in early April, our army has damaged 51 warships and killed more than 100 soldiers. Today, there is no day to rest. If reinforcements don’t come, the army will be wiped out and Dinghai will fall. The danger may be Lin’ an."
Chen Xi blinked and hesitated for a moment.
"General Wang Shumi is the person who pulled you out, the head of the Privy Council and our boss. Will he be angry if you talk to him like this?"
"If we lose the battle, we will die with Wang Shumi. Even if we don’t die, we will lose our heads. Do you think it is better to make him angry or let’s lose our heads together?"
Li Bao looked at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi Moran Language
Chapter 697 Attack on Dinghai Port
It’s certainly not good for officialdom to offend people, which is likely to lead to the end of official career.
But losing your head on the battlefield is even more terrible.
Both things are not good and have disadvantages, but the former rarely saves his life and the latter even loses his life.
As the saying goes, it doesn’t take much effort to make a decision about this choice.
Chen Xiling was ordered to write an article.
However, it is estimated that seven days have passed since Wen was sent to Lin ‘an and angered Wang Lun until reinforcements arrived.
In these seven days, Li Bao will still struggle to maintain the front with the remaining water army soldiers. We must never let the navy invade Dinghai and destroy the state navy.
Once the state navy destroys Suzhou Yangmen Cave, it will be able to threaten the capital of Dasong without fear. At that time, the capital will shake and I don’t know what disaster it will cause.
Li Bao did not dare to take the risk, nor did he dare to bear the consequences. He decided that the main guard would never take the initiative to lead the army again until reinforcements arrived
Li Bao is also very unhappy when the war reaches this level.
After Li Bao took over the state navy, he relied on Wang Lun’s support to ask Wang Lun for several times. After deduction, he managed to rectify the state navy to 300 warships and more than 4,000 sailors, which barely reached his own minimum requirements.
After that, he vigorously trained sailors to rectify the discipline of the navy and standardize the daily training standards of the navy, which quickly restored the peak combat effectiveness of the navy.
Then he expressed his hope to the imperial court that he could take the initiative to attack the naval division for the initiative.
