The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1539 Occupying Haizhou
By the time the sea was completely calm, the sky was already bright.

More than a dozen warships of the Great Song Sea swayed towards Donghai County.

The ship was full of soldiers, including soldiers from the Xingguo Military Region, and some were captured by the Yuan army salvaged from the sea.

In this battle, although Tiansha, Tiansu and the Fuzhou garrison did not lose a lot of soldiers, they were all exhausted. Under such circumstances, it was not suitable to attack the city of Haizhou.In comparison, Donghai County is undoubtedly a more suitable place to station at this time.

Although Huang Hua was angry, it was not to the point of losing his position.

Not long ago, more than ten naval warships approached the port of Donghai County.

The remaining defenders in Donghai County are facing an enemy.

The wolf smoke soon ignited.

But there are just over a thousand of them in total, and this still counts the arrests in the city.Except for setting off beacon smoke, I dare not go out of the city to meet the enemy along the coast.

But in Haizhou City, Tu Boda already knew that the general situation was over.

In his originally crowded military village, there were actually only a few thousand troops left.

The two naval warships of the Yuan Army that escaped by chance had already rushed to him.

He knew the outcome of the naval battle.

Although the Song Army must have paid a high price for this campaign, the price he paid was even greater.The soldiers he sent to sea were like annihilated.

Even his deputy Bi Wenlun, who had known him for many years, died in the chaos.

It was seen by someone.

A cannonball landed next to Bi Wenlun, and Bi Wenlun was directly engulfed in flames along with the banner next to him.

From the moment he heard the news, Tu Boda knew that the city of Haizhou would not be able to hold, and ordered his soldiers to prepare to pull out the stronghold and retreat.

Although he was still in the military village at this time and saw the smoke billowing from Donghai County, there was nothing he could do.

He didn't even have the slightest thought of leading an army there.

He was terrified by the fighting power of the soldiers of the Xingguo Military Region at sea.

Probably Song Jun is even stronger than before.

With his thousands of people alone, it is unlikely that Donghai County will be able to resolve the crisis, and it is more likely to trap himself.

In this case, he can only give up Donghai County.Anyway, they don't even plan to have Haizhou City anymore, so they don't care about the mere Donghai County anymore.

So when Donghai County was full of smoldering smoke, Tu Boda led the remaining soldiers towards Haizhou City.

Huang Hua led the soldiers to land at the port.

All the captives of the Yuan army on board were escorted off the ship.

Up to now, the battle losses of Tiansha, Tiansu and Fuzhou garrison have been calculated.

The Heavenly Killing Army lost eight warships, with a total of more than [-] soldiers.

The Tiansu army lost nine warships and nearly four thousand soldiers.

The Fuzhou garrison suffered the most casualties, with only five warships remaining.The number of casualties of soldiers reached a staggering [-] people.

This is definitely a traumatic injury.

It is even hard to say whether such battle losses will occur again during the Song Dynasty's attack on the Yuan Dynasty in the future. In short, the Song army rarely paid such a price before.

Of course, the Yuan army suffered even greater losses.The exact number of people who died is unknown, but there are more than 1 prisoners alone.

This is close to the number of soldiers killed in the Song Dynasty.

After Huang Hua led the soldiers to land on the island, they headed directly for Donghai County.

He had to wait here for the arrival of Zhang Hongwei, Zang Bohou and others.

Because with the sinking of those naval battleships, most of the food he carried sank into the sea.

His immediate priority now is rest.

Fortunately, the island where Donghai County is located was also a port island in the Yuan Dynasty. Such a place is relatively prosperous and there should be no shortage of food.

Two days passed quickly.

Su Quandang took down several towns around Xiapi City one after another in the east and west roads of Shanxi, and was already close to Xuzhou City at this time.

The Yuan army can't stop it.

Cheng Deyi, the pacifier of Yuanshan East and West Road, Dalu Huachi Ahmat of Pizhou, and Yin Siqi of Zhizhou led more than [-] troops to rush northward in a hurry, without the slightest plan to come back to meet the enemy.

Wen Qi and others led an army that was also close to Suzhou on Nanjing Road.

On Shandong East Road, Zhang Hongwei, Zang Bohou, and Huang Fu led the Tianji, Tianyou, and Tianyi armies to finally rush from Shuyang to Haizhou.

At this time, Tu Boda and the officials of Haizhou had already led many soldiers and civilians to the north in a hurry.

Haizhou City is like an empty city.

Zhang Hongwei and others led the army into the city, and then, Wu Yangyun, the vice-president of the Tianji Army who also served as the commander-in-chief of the Tiger Regiment, led two thousand troops towards the coast.

They also learned from the people in the city that the soldiers led by Huang Hua fought against the Yuan army at sea.

Now that the Yuan army has fled, Marshal Huang Hua must have won.However, Marshal Huang Hua did not lead his army to occupy Haizhou City, so there must be something hidden in it.

In the coastal area, Wu Yangyun and others can still see the traces left by the Yuan army after pulling out the stronghold.

Looking towards the sea, in such a daytime, you can vaguely see the island where Donghai County is located.

But Wu Yangyun and others did not have a naval battleship.

Under such circumstances, Wu Yangyun had to requisition some fishing boats from fishermen in nearby villages.Then he personally led dozens of soldiers to Donghai County.

This trip to the sea is not so easy, at least compared to Wu Yangyun and others.

Their Tianji Army is not an amphibious force like the Tiankill Army.Some of the soldiers still can't swim, even Wu Yangyun himself.

Although the sea is actually quite calm, and the small fishing boat is fairly stable, even Wu Yangyun's face is a little pale.

This made those soldiers who knew how to swim couldn't help but giggle.

Wu Yangyun used to be very strict in running the army, and was even dubbed the "Iron Face" in the Tiger Regiment.

There is nothing to say about his overall ability. No one in the Tigers can beat him in a single fight.

When did the Tiger Regiment soldiers who followed him to Donghai County see him look scared?
Finally got to see it now.

It turned out that the iron face also knew to be afraid.

This made them feel unstoppable joy in their hearts.

Wu Yangyun could only stare at them a few times.After all, as a landlubber, he was really scared.

At last we reached the coast.

Wu Yangyun staggered and jumped out of the boat in a hurry, and bent down before he could stand still, so he couldn't spit it out.

A few soldiers vomited already on board.

The soldiers who could swim couldn't hold back their laughter after all.

Wu Yangyun glared at the soldiers angrily, which made them stop smiling.

If this iron face "revenges", it will make them suffer.

Wu Yang said, "Let's go to Donghai County!"

Only a few soldiers were left to guard the ship, and he hurried to Donghai County with the rest.

After going outside Donghai County, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the national flag of the Great Song Dynasty has been erected on the city wall of Donghai County, as well as the military flags of the Tiansha, Tiansu and other armies.

This is enough to confirm that Huang Hua and the others are in the city and have already occupied Donghai County.

Wu Yangyun took the soldiers to the front of the city, and showed his identity in front of the imperial guards guarding the city, and then they hurriedly led them to the county town, and finally to the government office.

Huang Hua, Chen Diaoyan, Gao Tianzong and others were very excited to see Wu Yangyun.

Huang Hua said: "But the army has already arrived in Haizhou?"

Wu Yangyun clasped his hands and replied, "Report to Marshal, we have already occupied Haizhou City!"

Huang Hua said again, "What about those Yuan troops in Haizhou City?"

Wu Yangyun said: "Before we reached Dehaizhou, those Yuan troops had already retreated north."

Huang Hua nodded heavily, and immediately said to Chen Diaoyan and the others: "Regroup the army immediately and prepare to go to Haizhou City!"

Compared with Haizhou City, this Donghai County is just a small overseas county, and its strategic significance is of course far less important.

Chen Diaoyan asked, "Marshal, those prisoners in the city..."

Huang Hua said: "Let's take all of them to Haizhou first, and wait for the emperor's order after we have to ask the emperor for instructions."

At this time, during the battle between Song and Yuan, no one would easily release these Yuan army captives back.Because these captives may have been captured by the Yuan army after they left.

Although Zhao Dongting had made the rule of engraving a gold seal on the released captives before, if he encountered these captives on the battlefield again, it would take a lot of effort.

Moreover, the current Yuan army is not as easy to deal with as before.
