Since the Jin State has always kept secrets, and it is to build warships in Jinzhou in the name of going to sea to find immortals, the Great Song Dynasty was not aware of the plan of the Jin State to raid the sea, but out of caution, Li Bao did not dare to be careless, and he has paid close attention to the sea situation in the past few days, and the patrol fleet has doubled than usual, so as to prevent the Jin State's naval army from attacking the East China Sea. ☆☆ Thinking Chinese Network ☆☆ (Provide the latest chapter reading >.)

Sure enough, on this day, the sentinel ships reported that the Jin army's fleet appeared on the sea about sixty miles away from the East China Sea, and the number was more than 100.

After Li Bao received this news, he also fell into deep thought: What is Jin Jun planning to do? In terms of the strength of the water army, the Song army is far above the Jin army, which the Jin army should know, but the Jin army still dares to take the initiative to provoke, and there must be a reason. More than 100 warships are said to be a lot less, but more is not too much, whether it is a lure or a temptation, or both.

However, the Jin army came immediately, and it could not be left without fighting, after Li Gongzuo led the fleet south to quell the chaos, Li Bao's subordinates also had Qin Shiliang and Yan Wei two naval army commanders, both of whom were very capable of naval warfare. Qin Shiliang is nearly sixty years old, and he is Li Bao's old subordinate, who has been promoted from a pawn to the commander of the naval army step by step.

Because Qin Shiliang was experienced, respectful, and quite prestigious in the army, Li Bao decided to send him to lead one hundred and three warships to the sea to meet the naval army of the Jin State. At the same time, he also instructed Qin Shiliang to find out the number of ships of the Jin army before starting the war, and if the number was too large, he should not fight hard with the Jin army, immediately retreat, and personally lead the army to respond. If the Jin army is defeated, be careful of ambushes when chasing.

After Qin Shiliang received the order, he immediately brought all the warships, with a large Shenzhou and four small Shenzhou as the core, and other warships included 16 Flying Tiger Ships, 30 Sea Falcon Ships, 24 Loach Ships, and 28 Ship Boats. According to the experience of fighting with the Jin country's naval army in the past, such a ship power configuration, even if it is against two hundred Jin country's warships, there will be no problem.

Li Bao personally sent Qin Shiliang onto the warship, and repeatedly instructed: "Old Qin, you must be careful when you go to battle this time, come back immediately when you see that the situation is not right, and send someone to report the battle situation to me at any time."

Qin Shiliang said with a smile: "Don't worry, my old Qin is not fighting every day, but he is not a reckless man who can only show the courage of a horseman." This time, I will definitely see the opportunity. As he spoke, he stepped on the Shenzhou, confidently lifted anchor and set sail, and went to sea to meet the Jin Army.

Li Bao watched the fleet go away, but the uneasiness in his heart did not disappear at all.

Sure enough, the fleet of the Song army walked out of the sea route of more than 30 miles, and the warships at the outpost replied to the flag and told Qin Shiliang that the warships of the Jin State had appeared in front of them. Qin Shiliang climbed high and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a faint shadow of a sail on the sea in front of him, which gradually became clearer and clearer. If you get closer, you can see that there are indeed only about 100 warships in the Jin Kingdom, of which two warships are roughly equivalent to the small Shenzhou, which belong to large warships of more than 2,000 materials, and there are more than 50 warships of about 1,000 materials, and the others are all warships of less than 1,000 materials.

Qin Shiliang estimated that although his fleet was slightly smaller than his opponent in number, the number of large ships above 1,000 yuan was more than that of his opponent, so he could conclude that the Song army had an advantage, so he ordered people to report the number of Li Baojin's army on the one hand, and ordered all ships to line up in an attack formation and advance to meet the enemy.

This Jin army fleet is the outpost fleet led by Mo Ran Shi Qita, a total of more than 120 large and small warships, at this time he is standing on a large building ship, from a distance to see the Song army's fleet coming, there are about 100 large and small warships, including a large Shenzhou, and four small Shenzhou, it seems that the Song army really sent the main fleet to attack, so Mo Ran Shi Qita sent people to inform the main fleet behind them with flags, so that they can prepare for the response, while ordering all ships to attack in an arbitrary manner, full sailing, Try to penetrate the Song fleet to the rear of the main force led by Wanyan Changzhi and Su Baoheng.

At this time, Wanyan Changzhi and Su Baoheng's brigade fleet in the back was about twenty miles away from the outpost fleet, and after receiving the flag sent back by the Mo Ran Shi Qita, knowing the Song army's plan, Wanyan Changzhi hurriedly ordered Xiang Youjun and Zou Huan to immediately lead the warships to cover the rear of the Song army from the left and right sides. Then he ordered the main flotilla of the Jin army to rush up to support the front army.

At this time, on the battlefield ahead, the total number of warships on both sides exceeded 200, and each of them adjusted their formations while sailing in the opposite direction. When the two sides were separated by about three hundred, Qin Shiliang immediately ordered that the Song army should attack the Jin army with crossbow guns first, and Mo Ran Shiqita also ordered the Jin army's ships to return fire with crossbow guns. For a time, the two sides each automatic crossbow gun, "whirring" on the sea surface "whirring" around, but the number of bed crossbows of the Jin army is less than that of the Song army, plus the range is slightly inferior to the Song army, so the two sides shoot with bed crossbows, and the Song army has the upper hand.

A moment later, the distance between the two sides was reduced to two hundred paces, and the rocket artillery on each ship of the Song army fired a salvo towards the Jin army. In a short time, many warships in the Jin army's fleet were already on fire. Although the Jin army also returned fire with rocket artillery, the range and density were less than that of the Song army, so it did not pose much threat to the Song army.

Qin Shiliang saw that the battle situation was beneficial to the Song army, and his heart was also greatly relieved. He was about to give the order to send warships to assault the Jin army's ship formation, when he saw the Jin army's ships turn around and retreat to the north. When Qin Shiliang saw this, he thought that the Jin army was afraid of the rocket artillery of the Song army and was about to escape, so he couldn't help laughing, and immediately ordered all ships to chase after the Jin army with all their might.

However, Qin Shiliang is also a person who is proficient in water warfare, although he feels that he is sure to win, but the command of the battle is not careless at all, he first ordered two small boats to take twenty warships each from the left and right sides, hoping to go around to the front of the Jin army fleet and intercept it head-on. He led the remaining sixty-three boats in pursuit of the Jin army. And took advantage of the gap in the turning of the Jin army's warships, biting the tail of the Jin army's fleet and chasing after it.

In this way, the front of the Song army and the tail of the Jin army were intertwined, and the warships of both sides were full of sails, and the oars and waterwheels were all in full swing, chasing after each other on the sea, and constantly projecting ballistas, rockets, and artillery at each other. Many of the ships in the fleets of both armies caught fire, and for a moment, thick smoke billowed from the sea.

However, because the Jin army was fleeing and the Song army was pursuing, the Jin army had far more warships on fire than the Song army, and the warships that were not enough fell behind one after another, and were caught up by the Song army's warships.

Qin Shiliang commanded his own ship, at this time the twelve sails on the ship were all full, and the twenty-four waterwheels also started together, and also rushed into the rear of the Jin army, relying on the huge size of his own ships, rampage in the rear of the Jin army, sinking two enemy ships in a row, and injuring three. And he was almost unharmed.

Qin Shiliang stood on the lookout at the bow of the ship, and laughed: "There are enemy warships in front, left and right, we don't need to aim, just shoot firearms." Sure enough, the ship's bed crossbows, slingshots, and archers fired a salvo of rockets, artillery, stones, smoke balls, thunderbolts, thunderbolts, thistle fireballs, oil bombs, and so on, like hail raindrops. As a result, this large Shenzhou set more than ten Jin Army warships on fire.

At this time, the Jin army fell into complete passivity, and Yijing was not luring the enemy but was completely defeated. The warships shook their oars desperately, hoping to escape the pursuit of the Song army.

At this time, nearly 20 of the Jin army's warships had been sunk, and more than a dozen were also seriously damaged, but as the main general of this fleet, Mo Ran Shiqita always insisted on staying at the back of the fleet with another large building ship, and fortunately, the two largest warships of the Jin army were left behind and broken, bearing a considerable part of the Song army's attack power, otherwise the Jin army's losses would be much greater. But because of this, the Song army also set its sights on these two big ships, and pursued them closely behind, never letting them go.

At this time, Moranschita's own ship was also wounded in many places, and a mast was broken. Both sails were lit. I was very anxious, how could I finish Yan Changzhi and Su Baoheng's response fleet had not come up yet. He ordered his soldiers to cut the ropes of the flaming sails and throw them into the sea. On the one hand, he commanded the soldiers on his own ship and a dozen nearby warships to return fire on the Song army and maintain a certain resistance.

The other building ship was even more miserable, it was bitten by the large Shenzhou of the Song army, the hull was hit twice by the large Shenzhou, there were many cracks in the Yijing, and it was constantly hit by the rocket artillery from the large Shenzhou, the hull has been on fire in many places, the mast has been broken by two, and five of the eight sails have been on fire, see if the Yijing can't hold on.

At this time, the Song warships that had caught up with the two were catching up with the front of the Jin army's fleet, and were coming together from both sides.

At this moment, Mo Ran Shi Qi Ta suddenly heard someone shouting beside him: "Look, Lord Mo Ran, the fleet, our fleet is coming."

The Sheran Beggar Tower raised his eyes to the north, and sure enough, a sail appeared. Glamoran Sqita breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his reinforcements had finally arrived.

At this time, Qin Shiliang, who was commanding the Song army to fight on the Great Shenzhou, also appeared in the distance and knew that it was the reinforcements of the Jin army that had arrived. But because it was too far away, it was impossible to see how many ships the Jin army had for a while. Qin Shiliang estimated that according to the current number of Jin army fleets, the Jin army's reinforcements should be about 100 ships.

At this time, a deputy general beside Qin Shiliang said: "Qin Commander, what should we do now, should we continue to attack or retreat?" ”
