Qin Shiliang thought about it for a while and decided to continue attacking the Jin army. Because although the support fleet of the Jin army can be seen, it will take about two quarters of an hour for the reinforcements of the Jin army to arrive on the battlefield. If he withdrew his troops now, although it was also a victory, it did not cause heavy damage to the Jin army's fleet, which made Qin Shiliang feel a little unwilling. And now that the two wings of the Song army have caught up with the front of the Jin army, and it is about to form a Helong encirclement of this Jin army fleet, Qin Shiliang is fully confident that before the reinforcements of the Jin army arrive, even if he cannot completely annihilate the Jin army, he will also deal a heavy blow to the Jin army. Then even if the reinforcements of the Jin army arrived on the battlefield, he could calmly retreat.

Therefore, Qin Shiliang said: "Ignore the reinforcements of the Jin army and continue to attack." ”

So as the order was passed down, the flotillas on both sides of the Song army finally completed the merger in front of the Jin flotilla and surrounded the Jin army. However, when the Jin army saw that reinforcements were arriving, they did not panic, but resisted and waited for the army to arrive.

As a matter of fact, after more than two years of rigorous training, the ability of this Jin State naval army to fight water has been greatly improved compared with before. Although there is still a certain gap compared with the Song army, it is by no means as vulnerable as before. Previously, it was just to lure Song Jun into being fooled, so he deliberately showed a weak appearance.

Now after being surrounded by the Song army, the Jin army also knows that if they no longer struggle to resist, there is only a dead end. On the contrary, only by resisting the attack of the Song army and waiting for reinforcements to arrive can he survive. Therefore, at this time, everyone took the lead and fought to the death. Even launched a counteroffensive against the Song army locally.

The building, which was on fire in many places, rushed into the Song army's formation, first striking the left side of a sea falcon ship, knocking it over. Then he crashed into a flying tiger ship. The last hit a small Shenzhou, the size of the two ships is almost the same, but the Jin Army's building ship was injured in many places, and the fire spread to the whole ship, the two ships collided, made a loud noise, the wooden planks splashed, the Jin Army's building ship suddenly fell apart and was completely scrapped, but the Song Army's small Shenzhou was also hit not lightly, the hull was damaged, a large crack was knocked open on the side of the ship, the two masts were broken, countless Song soldiers were knocked into the sea, and the fire also spread to the Song Army's ship.

Although the Song army surrounded the Jin army, under the stubborn resistance of the Jin army, the Song army could not win for a while. At this time, even Qin Shiliang was very confused, with the combat effectiveness of this Jin army and naval army, it completely had the strength to fight with the Song army, and he would never be beaten and fled by himself as soon as he came into contact.

At this moment, the Jin army's support fleet was getting closer and closer, and Qin Shiliang found that the number of warships of the Jin army's reinforcements was far higher than his own estimated range, definitely exceeding three hundred. The reinforcements were actually more than twice as many as the team that went into battle, and Qin Shiliang was also a general who had experienced a hundred battles, so he immediately understood what was going on. The previous Jin army fleet was only to lure the enemy, and the reinforcements that appeared later were the main force of the Jin army.

Now the total number of warships of the Jin army exceeds 400, far exceeding the strength of the Song army, if you force the Jin army to fight, I am afraid that it will be defeated and returned. Qin Shiliang immediately made a decision, ordered all ships not to fight with the Jin army, turned the bow of the ship, and retreated immediately after the reinforcements of the Jin army arrived.

After receiving Qin Shiliang's order, the warships of the Song army immediately threw down the warships of the Jin army and turned around. The large Shenzhou that Qin Shiliang was riding on also turned around and prepared to retreat.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Song army guarding the lookout on the mast of the ship blew the horn of warning, and anxiously pointed to the distance behind the left and right sides, and shouted: "Qin commander, look over there, there is the fleet of the Jin Kingdom. ”

Qin Shiliang's heart trembled, and he looked in the direction of the soldier's finger on the lookout. I saw that in the rear of the Song army's fleet, there was a fleet on the left and right, heading towards me. If the Song army retreated like this, it would collide head-on with these two fleets. At this time, the reinforcements of the Jin army also rushed to the battlefield and launched a flanking attack on them from the rear.

Only then did Qin Shiliang understand that this time the Jin State's naval army was dispatched, with the goal not only to defeat the Song army, but also to surround and annihilate the fleet of the Song army. "When did the Golden Tartars become so smart."

At this time, the deputy general beside him said in a trembling voice: "Qin Tong, what should I do, we are going to be surrounded by the Jin army." ”

Qin Shiliang said sharply: "What are you panicking about? Ignoring the Jin army fleet behind us, all the fleets are advancing at full speed, attacking the warships intercepted in front, as long as we strive to break through them, we can safely scatter back to the East China Sea. ”

So all the warships of the Song army were advancing at full speed at this time, and rushed towards the Jin army fleet in front of Bao Chao. At this time, the Jin army fleet that was intercepting in front also discovered the intention of the Song army, slowing down while setting up an interception formation. Wanyan Changzhi and Su Baoheng, who were pursuing behind, also kept urging the fleet to speed up the pursuit of the Song army, and divided two hundred warships to surround them from the left and right flanks.

At this time, the Song army was advancing at full speed, while trying its best to adjust its offensive formation, Qin Shiliang took the lead in the large Shenzhou, all the twelve sails were opened, the twenty-four waterwheels rotated like wheels, rushing to the front, and the two small Shenzhou followed closely behind, protecting both sides of the big Shenzhou, forming a triangular offensive formation. The other ships, large and small, followed closely behind, while some of the other wounded or damaged ships were unable to enter at full speed and fell behind. Some of them were caught up by the Jin Kingdom with scriptures. But at this time, Qin Shiliang had no scruples anymore, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the fleet that was intercepted, Qin Shiliang ordered that the Song army on the Shenzhou was ready to fight.

It should be said that Qin Shiliang is doing this is the most correct approach at present, because behind it is the main force of the Jin army, the number of warships exceeds 400, and the Song army cannot fight the Jin army no matter what, but the Jin army fleet that intercepted the Song army in front is only more than 160 ships, and the current losses of the Song army are not large, and there are nearly 90 warships that can maintain complete combat effectiveness, and there is also a large Shenzhou in the fleet to support the whole army. Under normal circumstances, the Song army would still have a considerable chance of breaking through the interception of the Jin army.

But Qin Shiliang knew in his heart that now the Song army had just experienced a fierce battle, and the soldiers' energy and physical strength had been consumed a lot, while the intercepted Jin army was waiting for work, and only had to block the Song army for a period of time, and waited for the main fleet behind to arrive. In the battle just now, most of the Song army's rockets, stones, artillery and other weapons were also consumed, and the weapons on some small boats were all used up. Once the two sides take over the fight, the Song army will definitely not be able to defeat the Jin army. If it weren't for the fact that the Song army still had a large Shenzhou, it would almost be invincible.
