. The sun pierced through the fog and shimmered on the blue, smooth marble sea. Countless ships, lined up in long lines, streamed through. The vertically fluffed sails blow a full breeze and glide smoothly across the water, leaving droplets of water.

Bi Zaiyu saw the sea for the first time, and at this time he was standing on the ship's floor, facing the sea breeze full of salty and wet smell, looking at the huge fleet behind him, and his heart was full of confidence in this battle.

After Yang Yan returned to Longxing Mansion from Tianlin Mansion, at this time, all the people and horses from all walks of life had arrived and the reorganization was completed, and the various branches of the Shouxin Prefecture in the early stage had also been fully supplemented, and the preparation was complete. Although the quality of the recruits is not as good as that of the veterans, the current situation does not allow the Great Song Dynasty to train slowly, so they can only rely on the veterans to lead them and then hone them on the battlefield. And Yang Yan immediately began to arrange various matters for sending troops.

First of all, Yang Yan ordered Bi Zaiyu to lead Liu Renxian and Zhang Xun and Xie Dongming, who had been thrown into Yang Yan's command from Liu Bao, to Guangzhou together, command all the men and horses in Guangzhou, and together with Li Gongzuo, send troops north from the sea, on the one hand, to eliminate the sailors of the Jin State, and on the other hand, to find an opportunity to land in Wenzhou or Taizhou, launch an attack from the flank and rear of the Jin army, and cooperate with his own frontal battlefield operations.

Attacking from sea was an important part of Yang Yan's plan, and it was also one of the reasons why Yang Yan dared to fight against the superior strength of the Jin army from a small number of troops. Li Gongzuo's water combat ability is naturally undoubted, but once it lands, the Song army will open up the situation behind the Jin army, not only to have someone who can command the operations on land, but also to comprehensively coordinate the coordinated operations of the naval army and the army. To be able to serve as such a person in charge, Bi Zaiyu is naturally the most suitable candidate.

Bi Zaiyu didn't expect that after losing to Yan Changzhi again, Yang Yan would still be able to hand over such a heavy responsibility to himself, and he couldn't help but be very moved, and swore that he would definitely live up to Yang Yan's trust this time.

On the frontal battlefield, Yang Yan dispatched an army of about 100,000, and other generals Cao Xun, Gao Zhen, Liu Fuwu, Zhang Shiyan, Wei Jiao, Wei Chang, Qi Dazhu, Zhao Cao, Ling Xiang and others all went to battle. The objective of the first phase of the operation was to seize Huizhou and Quzhou, and after taking these two places, it would be possible to form a flanking attack on Lin'an, and to the north it would be possible to advance into Jiankang and to the south to meet the land troops on the sea.

At present, Cao Xun led 30,000 horses and horses to send troops from Raozhou to attack Huizhou. Gao Zhen led 30,000 horses and attacked Quzhou from Xinzhou. He and Zhao Yueru led the rest of the men and horses, stationed in Dexing, and responded in two ways.

Wu Xi still led 20,000 horses to guard Longxing Mansion.

After Bi Zaiyu received the order, he immediately rushed to Guangzhou with Liu Renxian, Zhang Xun, and Xie Dongming.

Now the entire military affairs of Guangzhou are temporarily managed by Li Gongzuo, and after receiving Yang Yan's documents, he immediately handed over the military power to Bi Zaiyu, and explained the situation of Guangzhou's troops to Bi Zaiyu.

At present, there are more than 65,000 military horses in Guangzhou, of which 50,000 are subordinate to the naval army. However, after landing, 20,000 troops can be drawn from the naval force and used as land troops, which can bring the total number of land troops to nearly 40,000.

At this time, in Guangzhou, Li Gongzuo completed the reorganization of the naval army, merged the pirate team of the Great Song Dynasty into the Song army, and after several months of training, the original pirate warships and the new ships and personnel of the Song army were able to fight according to the command.

At present, Guangzhou has more than 580 warships, large and small. Among them, there are five large Shenzhou, 23 small Shenzhou, 38 warships with more than 2,000 materials, 364 warships with more than 1,000 materials, 24 ironclad ships, and 87 warships with more than 500 materials. There are more than 40 warships under 500 materials. After several months of intensified production, bows and arrows, crossbows, firearms, and other naval materials were also fully stockpiled.

At the same time, Li Gongzuo also sent ships to reconnoiter the reality of the Jin army's navy many times, and in the coastal areas of Fujian and eastern Zhejiang, he searched for large islands that could settle down as a fulcrum for the north, and found several large islands in the Taizhou archipelago and the Dongji archipelago as a temporary base for the future attack on the Jin army.

After Bi Zaiyu inspected the men and horses in Guangzhou, he was also very satisfied and immediately ordered to send troops. In fact, for a period of time, watching other people from all walks of life, and the Jin army fought fiercely, he knew that after Yang Yan recovered Huaixi, the soldiers of the navy army were also a little impatient, especially the Song army, which was defeated by the Jin navy in the East China Sea, rubbed their fists and grinded their palms, and they all wanted to fight with the Jin army's army again to avenge the defeat of the East China Sea. And the newly surrendered Xu Hai, Xu Jiang, Zheng Sihai, Meng Lanjun and others were also eager to establish their military exploits, so the morale of the whole army was very high.

Therefore, after receiving Bi Zaiyu's order to send troops, Li Gongzuo immediately decided to dispatch four large Shenzhou, eighteen small Shenzhou, thirty two-thousand-material warships, three hundred and twenty-four thousand-material warships, twenty-four ironclad ships, fifty five-hundred-material warships, and thirty warships below five hundred, a total of 472 large and small warships, and more than 43,000 sailors. The generals of the navy, Zhang Yuan, Feng Rong, Long Haishan, Xu Hai, Xu Jiang, Zheng Sihai, Meng Lanjun and others, all went to battle.

And left Yan Wei to garrison Guangzhou, as the second echelon, not only responsible for the supply of grain and grass materials, but also once the Song army defeated the Jin army on the sea, he would be responsible for transporting other horses to the north for land operations.

In the following days, warships of all sizes set off from various ports such as Yashan, Tuen Mun, Fuyang, and Daxishan, converged on the sea near Nan'ao Island in Chaozhou, reorganized, and then stretched for more than 100 miles, sailing north along the southeast coastline of the Great Song Dynasty.

The fleet went north along the coast, and after more than ten days, the Song army's fleet bypassed the coast of Fujian and entered the sea of the Liangzhejiang East Road.

When Bi Zaiyu was standing on the deck and watching, a soldier came to him and said, "Chief Bi, Li Dutong invites you to go to the cabin to discuss the military situation. ”

Although Bi Zaiyu's current position is the head of the soldiers and horses of the Guangdong Road, he is not very proficient in water warfare, so the operation of the fleet is all dispatched by Li Gongzuo, and Bi Zaiyu does not interfere. Seeing that Ben Gongzuo invited him to discuss the matter, Bi Zaiyu immediately walked down the building and came to the cabin.

At this time, Li Gongzuo was in the cabin, and when he saw Bi coming in again, he immediately greeted him, hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "Mr. Bi, we are now in the sea of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and we are about to meet the Jin army, how to fight this battle?" The last general already has a plan in his heart, and wants to discuss it with the adults. ”

Bi Zaiyu smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Li Dutong, I am not very proficient in water warfare, so this water war is all up to Li Dutong to manage, if you have any good ideas, try to say it, don't have any scruples." ”

Li Gongzuo also nodded and said, "Manager Bi, let's go to the table and look at the map."

The two came to the table, only to see a sea map spread on the table, Li Gongzuo pointed out on the sea chart: "Now we know from the basic investigation that the Jin army stationed on the sea has more than 870 large and small warships, nearly twice as many as us, but it is divided into two parts, one part is led by Su Baoheng, the commander of the navy, stationed on the coast of Zhoushan Island in Qingyuan Mansion, guarding the mouth of Lin'an Mansion, there are about 500 warships. The other part was led by the commander of the ministry, Mo Ran Shi Qita, and was stationed in Sanmen Bend, Taizhou, with about 350 warships. The two are separated by about 100 miles of sea, and they can be broken one by one. So when we went to sea this time, the first target of the attack was the fleet of the Smiran Beggar Tower in the Three Gate Bends. ”

Bi Zaiyu looked at the map and said: "My Great Song Navy has always been superior to the Jin Army, and our army has more warships than the Jin Army, so it is still certain to defeat the troops of the Mo Ran Shi Qi Tower, but in my opinion, the Mo Ran Shi Qi Tower will definitely ask Su Baoheng for help, which means that we must defeat the Mo Ran Shi Qi Tower before Su Baoheng's troops arrive." ”

Li Gongzuo said: "I'm afraid that after the Sqita saw that our fleet was strong, he just stayed in the water village and didn't dare to fight." In this way, we will attack the water village, and the loss will be too great, and it will be difficult to defeat the Mo Ran Shiqi Tower before Su Baoheng's troops arrive. Therefore, according to the last general's thoughts, it is better to divide the fleet into two groups, and the last general will lead half of the fleet to attack Sanmen Bend first, and the Staggeran will definitely go to battle when he sees that our army has few ships. And the other half of the fleet is ambushed in the Yushan Islands, if Su Baoheng sends reinforcements, we will first pretend to retreat, and after the Jin army has killed the Yushan Islands, the ambush army will kill from behind the Jin army, so that the front and rear attacks can defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop. ”

Bi Zaiyu thought for a while and said, "This is a good way, but only half of the fleet is sent, is Li Dutong sure that he can defeat the Jin army?" ”

Li Gongzuo said: "Please rest assured that General Bi is at this point, if you talk about water warfare, the final general will definitely be sure to win more with less and defeat the Jin army." ”

Bi Zaiyu said: "What if the Wipe Ran Sqita still insists on not fighting? Su Baoheng didn't send reinforcements? Are we still going to forcibly attack the Jin Army's water village? ”

Li Gongzuo said: "If this is the case, we will garrison the Dongji Islands, drive all the naval troops in Guangdong, block the door of the Jin army, so that they can't go to sea with a boat, and then take turns to harass Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Qingyuanfu coastal areas, preparing to carry out landing operations, and see how long the Jin army can hold it?" ”

Bi Zaiyu nodded and said, "Very good, Li Dutong, I will never interfere in the affairs of the water army, you can just let it go." I was at the bow of the ship to see how Li Dutong broke the Jin army. ”

On this day, the water sentinel of the Jin army reported to the Mo Ran Shi Qi Pagoda that the warship of the naval division brigade of the Great Song Dynasty had been found in the sea near the Dongji Islands, and was heading towards the Jin army water village in Sanmen Bay.

After receiving the report, the Song army retreated to the coast of Guangdong, because the two sides are separated from the Fujian sea, so for nearly a year, there has been basically no conflict, why the Song army suddenly killed.

Although the deputy capital of the naval army is in charge, he also knows that in recent times, the Jin army has been very passive on all fronts in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and even Huaixi has been lost. Although the Song army had fewer warships than himself, who knew whether this was the vanguard of the Song army, so he did not dare to be careless, and on the one hand organized a fleet to meet the battle, and on the other hand, he sent someone to report to Su Baoheng and asked him to send a naval army to come to support.

Sanmen Bay is located in the northeast of Taizhou, northwest of Ninghai County, southwest of Sanmen County, surrounded by land on three sides, the bay is about more than 80 miles long, about 20 miles wide, the estuary is about more than 10 miles wide, hundreds of miles in radius, only the north of Jianyang Island has Shipu waterway and the open sea communicates. The estuary is only more than ten miles wide, and there are more than ten large and small islands such as Jinqimen, Sanmen Island, Niutou Mountain, Big Buddha Island, and Tantou Mountain. It is a natural and excellent sheltered alley, and the fleet of Jinguo is usually anchored in the bay.

However, seeing that the Song army's sailors were killed, Mo Ran Shiqita did not dare to park all the warships in Sanmen Bay, because once the Song army blocked the entrance to the sea, his more than 300 warships would become turtles in the urn. Therefore, Mo Ran Shiqita led all the warships out of Sanmen Bay, and set up a position between Big Buddha Island and Niutou Mountain, preparing to meet the Song army.

The fleets of both sides met in the sea southeast of Sanmen Bay. It was a sunny day, there was not even a bit of fog on the sea, visibility was almost at its highest, and it was a good day for both sides to engage in naval battles.

Across the sea for nearly ten miles, it could be judged that the number of ships of the Song army was about two hundred and fifty, and it would never exceed three hundred, so he couldn't help but feel very relieved. Think you can handle it completely.

Since the victory in the First Battle of the East China Sea, because the Jin army crossed the Yangtze River, the Song army did not fight with the Jin army in order to preserve its strength, and Li Bao led the defeated army in the East China Sea and the Zhejiang army to retreat to Guangzhou together. And the Jin army's navy thought that the Song army was afraid of itself, and its confidence was greatly increased, and the fear of the Song Dynasty's navy was greatly reduced. Although the Jin army's navy suffered a big defeat in the Yangtze River, it was only because the sea ships did not adapt to the river, and the Jin army's confidence remained undiminished.

Especially after the Jin army led the land of Liangzhejiang, the Jin army's navy captured a lot of Song Dynasty's navy and coastal fishermen, and learned some boat manipulation and water warfare skills, so that the Jin army's navy ability has been improved.

According to the Jin army's exploration of the strength of the Song army's Guangdong naval army, the total number of warships of the Song army is estimated to be around 500 to 600. Mo Ran Shi Qita thought that this fleet was likely to be a vanguard force, and the large number of warships might still be behind, or maybe this was a tentative attack by the Song army, so Mo Ran Shi Qita did not send people to reject Su Heng's reinforcements, and it was better to be safe.

However, no matter which possibility it was, Mo Ran Shiqita thought that he should give this Song army fleet a head-on blow, so that they could see the current strength of the Dajin Sailor, and they would never dare to underestimate the Dajin Sailor in the future.
