The maritime border between the Jin and Song dynasties is very vague and far less clear than on land. Li Bao's fleet was stationed in Donghai County, Haizhou, and generally speaking, the patrolling ships of the Jin State would not enter the distance of thirty miles from Donghai County, and the sentry warships of the Song State would not cross the Rizhao Sea and continue north. Within 30 miles of Donghai County to the Rizhao Sea, this section of the sea is a buffer zone that both sides acquiesce, and the small ** patrol fleets of the Song and Jin countries meet in this area, and generally do not fight, basically go their own way, and do not meet each other. Yu Ersheng **** will not chase out of this area.

Therefore, now that the Jin army fleet has reached the Rizhao Sea, if it continues to advance, it will enter the patrol range of the Song army's sentry ships, and it is possible to meet the Song army's warships at any time.

Although Wanyan Changzhi knew that the Song army fleet stationed in the East China Sea was transferred to nearly half of the ships, he still didn't dare to be careless, you must know that this time he was facing the famous Song Dynasty general Li Bao, this person was Yue Fei's general, and later listened to Han Shizhong's subordinates, these two famous generals have been reused, and Li Bao himself is also proficient in water warfare, eight years ago, when Yan Liang went south, Li Bao personally led one hundred and twenty warships, three thousand **** hands to the north, and broke the Jin State Navy in the sea near Chenjia Island, **** The Jin army had more than 500 warships and more than 3,000 prisoners. What's more, the current Song army's warships, water warfare equipment, and water combat experience are also stronger than the Jin army, and they have repeatedly defeated the Jin army at sea, and their morale and confidence are also above the Jin army, so although the Song army has few ships, it must not underestimate the enemy.

So that night, the warships of the Jin army were moored in the Rizhao Sea, and Wanyan Changzhi gathered Su Baoheng, Mo Ran Shi Qita and Zhang Hu together to discuss the battle plan against the Song army.

As the actual commander of the naval army, Su Baoheng had already considered the tactics of the Jin army, so he said: "Lord Wanyan, I think that although we have many warships, they are not as elite as the Song army, and although the Song army is fine, there are too few warships, and the Song army has repeatedly defeated our Dajin naval division at sea before, so it is inevitable that there will be arrogance. Therefore, it is believed that the warships can be divided into two batches, first let a small part of the warships feint to lure the enemy, after encountering the Song army, a little contact, immediately defeated, and the Song army saw that our warships were not many, so they must relax their vigilance and boldly pursue, and then we will concentrate the main fleet, surprise, short Song army a head-on attack, can defeat the Song army's naval army in one fell swoop. ”

After Yan Changzhi listened, he nodded and said: "The method of controlling the Soviet Union is good, I think that even if we have a lot of military ships, we might as well divide some warships and first ambush the left and right flanks on a large scale." When the Song army pursued our decoy of the enemy, once it encountered our main fleet, it would inevitably be in a panic and flawless about the rest, and then our flotilla on the left and right sides would be killed together, and the Song army would be caught off guard from the flank and rear, and the Song army would be caught off guard and would definitely be able to win a complete victory. ”

Su Baoheng nodded and said, "What the adults said is reasonable, this plan is very good." ”

Mo Ran Shi Qita frowned, and said: "Although the adult's plan is good, if this plan is to succeed, it must cooperate tacitly with each team, or retreat, or attack, or flank attack, and there is no difference between ten thousand points." However, sea communication is not as convenient as land, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to make a way to dispatch, and if I am not careful, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating, not only can I not defeat the Song army, but will be broken by the Song army. ”

Wanyan Changzhi and Su Baoheng listened, and had to admit that Mo Ran Shiqita was reasonable, communication at sea is indeed far less convenient than on land, although there is a flag communication, but people's field of vision, even in the sky, can only see six or seven miles away, such as Wanyan Changzhi's profound skills, sharp eyes of a person, the field of vision can not be more than ten miles away, and the use of a small boat to send messages back and forth is too slow, easy to miss the fighter. So it's a very difficult problem

At this time, Zhang Hu suddenly said: "You see if this is feasible, between the fleets, set up a ship every one or two miles or so, all the information is like passing a beacon fire, one ship by one, it can be solved." ”

Wanyan Changzhi laughed and said: "Zhang Xianzhu's plan is very good, if he defeats the Song army this time, Zhang Xianzhu's plan should be a credit." ”

Su Baoheng and Mo Ran Shi Qita also nodded again and again, thinking that Zhang Hu's opinion was indeed feasible. At that moment, everyone immediately deliberated in detail, and decided that one hundred and twenty warships would also be in the vanguard led by Mo Ran Shi Qita, luring the Song army's fleet into battle, and destroying the Song army's small ** fleet, and if it encountered the Song army's large fleet, they would feign defeat and introduce it to the main fleet. As soon as they encountered the main force of the Song army, they immediately replied to the news, and Xiang Youjun and Zou Huan each brought 80 warships to the flank and rear of the main fleet of the Song army from both sides to encircle and annihilate the Song army.

After the plan was ready, everyone went back to prepare, just waiting for tomorrow's battle.

During this period of time, the Jin country continued to increase its troops on the border, and at the same time, the two countries were also **** on the border, as if another big war was coming. The Great Song Dynasty did not dare to be careless, and all along the Sichuan-Shaanxi, Xiang-Hubei, and Jianghuai lines urgently mobilized to step up preparations for war to prevent the Jin army from invading the south.

However, since the Northern Expedition of the Song Army in the fourth year of Song Qiandao, Yu Yunwen has not relaxed the defense of the border in the Great Song Dynasty, and has always been heavily armed, even when the south was ****, there was no ** transfer of soldiers guarding the border. Therefore, although they knew that the Jin army was going to invade the south, the monarchs and ministers of the court were not too nervous, but they just ordered each royal **** to prepare for war carefully.

Haizhou is located on the border of the Song and Jin countries, and in order to involve the forces of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin State led an army of 50,000 led by the general Wan Yanting to storm Haizhou. The defender Wei Sheng of Haizhou was also closely distributed, and in the past few days, the two sides have had several fierce battles on the border in a row, and the number of people on both sides participating in the battle exceeded 1,000, and each suffered casualties.

Li Bao guarded Donghai County, and now there are still 187 large and small warships parked in Donghai County, including two large Shenzhou and nine small Shenzhou.

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.
