Thirty-four sea chases

Su Baoheng stood on the ship's tower and looked in annoyance at the distance of about five or six hundred paces ahead, when the Song army's warship pulled its sails again and began to move forward at full speed. {p) Su Baoheng said fiercely: "Inform the rowers below, hurry up." ”

The soldiers beside him were a little embarrassed and said, "Lord Dutong, now the Yijing is the fastest, and it can't be faster." ”

In fact, Su Baoheng didn't know the limit speed that the Jin Army's fleet could reach now, not to say that all the warships could not drive faster, but because if it was faster, it would be difficult to maintain the completed formation, and many warships would fall behind. In the past three days of pursuit, the Jin army has suffered from this kind of desperate dislocation in the past.

Su Baoheng led all the warships of Qingyuan Mansion to aid the naval army of Sanmen Bay, and after joining forces with the Mo Ran Envoy Qita, there were a total of 730 warships of all sizes, and the two led a huge Jin army fleet to attack the Song army anchored in the Dongji Islands.

At this time, the Song army in the Dongji Islands had more than 240 warships, and more than a dozen of them were seriously damaged and were being repaired. As soon as Li Gongzuo saw that the Jin army's warships were killed, he did not meet the battle, but ordered all the seriously damaged warships to be ****, and then led the remaining warships to retreat south.

When Su Baoheng saw this, he immediately commanded the Jin army's warships to chase after him. In fact, Su Baoheng knew that the quality of the Song army's warships and the ability of the sailors were above the Jin army, and if he had retreated at full speed, he would have been able to throw the Jin army off a long time ago. He didn't expect to catch up with the Song army, but he just hoped to drive the Song army out of the waters of Zhejiang.

However, the Song army did not withdraw to Guangnan, and after driving south for a while, it immediately turned eastward and circled with the Jin army in the area of the Dongji Islands and Taizhou Islands. And always keep a distance of two or three miles from the Jin army's warships, once the distance between the two sides is five or six miles, the Song army slows down the speed of the ship, waits for the Jin army to catch up, and after catching up, immediately increases the speed of the ship. It's like a cat playing with a mouse. Jin Jun gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Su Baoheng also tried to send part of the fleet to cover the Song army from the path, but there are many islands in the Dongji Islands and Taizhou Islands, the waterways are complicated, and some places are full of reefs, so they can't pass through big ships at all, and for the waterways in this area, the Song army is far more familiar than the Jin army, so the Jin army tried twice, but the Song army escaped, on the contrary, because they were not familiar with the waterway, the ship ran into the reef, and lost more than ten warships.

Su Baoheng had no choice but to give up taking the small road and only pursue from the main road. Because they were really angry at the behavior of the Song army, many fast warships desperately rocked their wheels and oars and caught up with the Song army's warships. But what the Jin army didn't expect was that after the Song army was delayed, the warships were actually equipped with long-range weapons on the stern, and as soon as the Jin army caught up, they would give a head-on blow, and at the same time, many medium-sized warships of the Song army turned around and attacked the warships caught up by the Jin army.

The number of warships that the Jin army caught up with the Song army was already small, and because of the fierce pursuit of the Song army, they only cared about accelerating, and in terms of having no formation, they were hit by the Song army and were immediately sunk by more than a dozen ships. There were still a few warships that were about to catch up, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately stopped chasing and turned around and ran.

Seeing this, Su Baoheng hurriedly ordered all the ships of the Jin Army, even if they slowed down the speed of the ships, they must maintain a good formation, and they must no longer speed >up without permission

In this way, the Jin army maintained a good formation, and chased after it for a while, but it still couldn't catch up with the Song army. br/>

Su Baoheng was right when he thought about it, even if he couldn't catch up with the Song army, why should he spend it with the Song army like this, it was better to go back and forget it, and then make plans after the main force of the Song army arrived. Therefore, he immediately ordered the whole army to turn the bow of the ship and return immediately. br/>

It was repeated several times, only so angry that Su Baoheng and Mo Ran made the beggar tower jump on the boat and scolded Song Jun, but there was nothing they could do about Song Jun. Lu Zhongxiong suggested to Su Baoheng that a fleet could be left here to contain and block the Song army, and the rest of the fleet would return to Sanmen Bay.

But this idea was immediately rejected by Su Baoheng, because in this way he made a big mistake of dispersing his troops and fell into the hands of the Song army. If the Jin army wants to defeat the Song army, it must ensure absolute superiority in numbers, according to Su Baoheng's estimate, at least the number of warships must be more than twice that of the Song army, before it can fight with the Song army. Under the same conditions, the Jin army was by no means an opponent of the Song army, so it would be difficult for the remaining fleet. br/>

In this way, unconsciously, the pursuit of the Song and Jin sides on the sea lasted for three days, and the soldiers of the Jin army were teased by the Song army one by one, pointing at the Song army's fleet on the warship, jumping and scolding, but they were all helpless against the Song army, and they were all physically and mentally exhausted.

When Su Baoheng saw this, he had to order the Jin army's warships to temporarily anchor and rest on a large nearby island, and the Song army saw that the Jin army was docking. br/>

When Su Baoheng saw it, he had no choice but to smile bitterly, and immediately recruited several naval commanders to discuss countermeasures. The people deliberated for most of the hour, but they did not come up with a good solution.

At this time, Lu Zhongxiong suggested that if he did not visit, he could divide all the warships into two groups and take turns to cover each other's retreat, so that although some ships would be lost, they could finally withdraw to Sanmen Bay safely. At the same time, if the Song army pursues too quickly, no matter which broken fleet entangles the Song army, the other can immediately turn the bow of the ship to help the battle, which can just force the Song army to fight a head-on battle.

When Su Baoheng heard this, he nodded again and again, thinking that this method was good, anyway, there was no other way now, and Lu Zhongxiong's method could be tried.

But just when Su Baoheng was about to give an order, a guard rushed open the door of the council hall, stumbled in, and said: "Su Dutong, the big thing is not good, the fleet of the Song army has attacked the naval army camp in Sanmen Bay, please go back to the army to rescue quickly." ”

After Su Baoheng heard this, his mind immediately "buzzed", and then he fully understood that he had fallen for Song Jun's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

It turned out that as soon as Li Gongzuo saw that the Jin army was pouring out to attack him, he immediately sent a letter to Zhang Yuan, who was hiding in the Yushan Islands, and ordered him to lead the fleet to attack the Jin army's Sanmenwan naval camp. He led the naval army to fight with the Jin army in the area of the Dongji Islands and Taizhou Islands to hold back the Jin army.

After Zhang Yuan received the order, he immediately opened out and attacked Sanmen Bay. At this time, the Jin army and navy village in Sanmen Bay is simply an empty village, there are only dozens of warships under repair and more than ten small boats of two or three hundred materials, which can block Zhang Yuan's attack, and within an hour, Zhang Yuan attacked into the water village, although the Jin army on the shore received an emergency, but there are no ships, and can only watch the Song army's warships shuttle back and forth in the water village, and wantonly set fire to the village, and as a result, the Jin army's water village and the water army are burned down.

However, a few small boats escaped from the water village and hurriedly went to find Su Baoheng's fleet to deliver the message. But at this time, Su Baoheng was amused by the Song army, and after looking for a day, he found the Jin army's fleet and told Su Baoheng all this.

When Jiagu Su, Wuli Tanda, Lu Zhongxiong, Bi Rui, Murong Yanda and other naval commanders heard this, they also blew up and became a mess, and they all asked to return to the army immediately to rescue the naval army Dazhai in Sanmen Bay. At this time, Su Baoheng recovered, and after asking the messenger in detail, he first asked the messenger to rest, and then said to the generals: "Generals, don't quarrel anymore, listen to Bendu's words." ”

Only then did the generals stop arguing and looked at Su Baoheng.

Su Baoheng said: "It was yesterday that the Song army attacked Sanmen Bay, and now we can't save Sanmen Bay even if we rush back." However, after the Song army attacked the Sanmenwan Water Village, it will definitely continue to go north to attack the water village of Qingyuan Mansion, if the Qingyuan Mansion Water Village is broken by the Song army again, our more than 700 warships will be homeless and can only float on the sea and wait for death, so the top priority is to return to the morning immediately and go to rescue the Qingyuan Mansion Water Village. ”

All the generals also thought that what Su Baoheng said was reasonable, and then Mo Ran made the beggar tower and said: "Now that the Song army is following us behind, how can we get rid of the Song army and rescue the Qingyuan Mansion Water Village?" ”

Su Baoheng smiled faintly and said, "Leave a few warships, block the Song army here, and let the main warships return to the army to rescue the Qingyuan Mansion Water Village." ”

When the generals heard this, they were all silent, because according to what Su Baoheng said, the people who stayed to block the Song army were afraid that they would not be able to escape for their lives, but now there was no other way, and after a while, there was humanity: "Then who stays to stop the Song army?" ”

Su Baoheng smiled bitterly, slowly stood up, and said, "Naturally, the governor stayed." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were taken aback, and Murong Yanda said: "Lord Dutong, you can't stay. ”

Su Baoheng waved his hand and said: "You don't need to persuade you, this time you fell into the Song army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, it is the responsibility of the capital, even if you go back alive, it will be difficult to escape the military law, instead of going back to confess, it is better to stay here for you to stop the Song army, so that you can have the opportunity to withdraw." ”

Su Baoheng is a good person, and he has a lot of prestige in the navy, so all the generals are very moved, and Su Baoheng said to Mo Ran's beggar tower: "Don't delay any longer, act immediately, leave me two hundred warships, and the rest will be taken by you to rescue Qingyuan Mansion, otherwise it will be too late." In the future, the navy will depend on you to bother more."

Mo Ran made the beggar tower also know that it was useless to talk more, and said: "Su Dutong, two hundred ships are too few, let's leave a few more for you."

Su Baoheng shook his head and said: "It's useless to stay longer, there is still a ** battle to be fought in the future, so you should take it all away." ”
