The ugly time passed, and the tide had reached **. Zhao Bing ordered an attack, but he could only watch the game behind.ΩΩWw    W.

CN, one is because the Sheji hull is too large and has a deep draft, so it cannot approach the city even after the rising tide, otherwise there will be a risk of stranding; second, since Taizu, the Song Dynasty, although two emperors, Taizong and Renzong, had personally fought, had never visited the battlefield, and often stopped moving dozens of miles behind the battlefield. Now it is good to allow him to watch the battle wherever he looks. He has also become the emperor closest to the battlefield since Taizu, which is considered to be a real person to visit the battlefield.

Although the battlefield is the best place to show manliness, Zhao Bing is afraid of death and does not have the addiction to killing people by swinging a knife. But he knows that as an emperor, he is still a rookie in any aspect. If he wants to gain a foothold in the court, gain power, and govern the country, he must not rely solely on cleverness. There is a saying that goes - practice to produce true knowledge, and if he wants to enter the role of a good emperor who can govern the country in literature and martial arts as soon as possible, he certainly cannot just listen to the preaching of his masters, but also to visit the battlefield and accumulate combat experience.

Now the modified flat-bottomed ships are out first. Some of them are not only equipped with stepping platforms that exceed the height of the city wall to carry as many crossbows as possible to provide more intense fire support. This easily reminds people of the artillery ships that once dominated the sea in modern times. They carried a large number of artillery to make up for the weakness of the artillery fire at that time and it was difficult to form a strong firepower within a unit of time. Therefore, they can only increase the number to suppress the enemy's counterattack or quickly destroy the target.

Other ships were converted into attack ships, built covered corridors and garrison points, and extended suspension bridges were set up at the bow of the ship. These ships were used to carry attack forces and as platforms for attack. If they were connected in series, a troop transport path could be established. In order to prevent the attack of enemy stone throwers from being reinforced, the surface was also coated with wet mud to prevent the enemy from setting fire with flammable materials such as rockets, turbulent oil, etc., but they were not the protagonists of today's attack.

The reason why Zhao Bing struggled to transform these ships without using ready-made warships was also helpless. He knew that it was difficult to break the city as soon as possible to use the traditional siege model. At the same time, the Hao River surrounding the city in Quanzhou communicated with the ocean and many streams, had a large amount of water, and was much wider than the ordinary moat. If you crossed this natural barrier, the traditional method was to block the water inlet and drain the water in the moat; or use firewood and soil to fill it into a path, but it was difficult to implement in Quanzhou. This was also one of the reasons why Zhang Shijie had been unable to break the city at the beginning.

But only these two types of equipment are not good. Quanzhou City has a moat, with as many as seven outer moats and five river branches and ditches in the city, forming a dense spider web for drainage and transportation system. In order to facilitate access, Quanzhou people are keen on building bridges. Many wealthy and monks also joined in the fun. No less than a hundred bridges of large and small outside the city were built, which also became an obstacle to the passage of ships. It was like reefs blocking the access of warships, making it difficult for large ships to approach the city walls during the passage. The small boat carried few troops and was low in the hull, so it was impossible to go directly to the city with the help of the height of the ship.

In order to attack the city, Zhao Bing humbly asked Zhang Shijie, Liu Shiyong, Zhao Mengjin and other generals with practical experience, and their opinions were relatively unified. If you want to break through the city through a strong attack, several conditions must be met:

First, there must be tools that can quickly climb the city, goose cars, ladders, etc., which belong to this type of thing. This is easy to understand. People are not gods, and they will not be martial arts masters who fly over the eaves and walls. They cannot climb up the steep city walls by relying on their own abilities. This tool must not only help people get on the wall, but also effectively protect soldiers from harm. In addition, long-range weapons must also attack the enemy's archers, crossbowmen and stone throwers, suppress the enemy defending the city to protect the soldiers who siege the city from getting close and climb the city wall.

Second, it is necessary to be able to transport enough soldiers at once so that they can quickly seize a foothold, build a bridgehead, and cover the subsequent soldiers to climb the city. Zhao Bing thought it was good. Even if one or two people with high martial arts skills were the first to climb the city, there were hundreds of enemies on the city, and even a tiger could not resist the wolves! Ten thousand enemies and thousands of people were killed were nonsense. It was claimed that they would be fine, but it would probably be chopped into meat sauce in a short while, so there must be no fewer people going up to the city at one time. At least they had to be able to hold on for a while and get time for the people behind them to go up to the city.

Third, there must be a way to quickly increase troops so that reinforcements can quickly go up the city to compete with the enemy. Zhao Bing thinks it is reasonable. After all, the city is the territory of others, and countless troops are stationed there. Even if a few people successfully build bridgeheads on the wall, they can continue to increase troops. If you kill one, ten others will be exhausted. Therefore, only by constantly increasing troops gradually expanding the bridgeheads, and by transporting a large number of overwhelming living forces to compete with the enemy for occupation, control the city, and then spread into the city.

Zhang Shijie was quite frank and told Zhao Bing that he failed again and again because he could not meet these three necessary conditions at the same time. He could only use the stupidest and most commonly used method to force the enemy to surrender by siege. However, he failed to stop the reinforcements from Sodu. Once the army of the besieged city collapsed instantly and had to withdraw his troops back to the court. Many people were killed and injured, and there were no harvests.

After learning from Zhang Shijie's failed experience, Zhao Bing analyzed the situation and the power in his hands, and decided to use the South Gate as a breakthrough. Because the most powerful force in his hands was the navy, but after arriving in Quanzhou, they took on the task of controlling the Jinjiang waterway and blocking the port and making soybeans. After breaking the city, they also used things to rush home as a transportation brigade, which was equivalent to a hero's useless place. The navy's soldiers received training to jump over the boat and compete with the enemy in a narrow area. It should be fine to let them serve as the sharp knife for breaking the city.
