The transport ships of the Song army had more than 100 sailors, and the small ones were 30 to 50 people, although they had undergone combat training, but compared with the sailors who were in charge of the Jin Navy's battle to fight, it was definitely not possible to play with knives, so under the situation that they did not have an advantage in speed, they simply stationed in a formation, and the big ships were connected to form a circle at the end of the big ships, and the small boats were interspersed to form an inner defensive circle, so as not to be scattered by the Jin army and break through.

The Jin army's marchers broke through the defensive line arranged by the Song warships, and took advantage of the wind to rush to the convoy of transport ships, which did not have the height of the warship, the powerful artillery, and the small number of crew members, which was the ideal target for broadside combat. When they puffed up their sails, paddled harder, and approached the Song army's transport fleet with all their might, they saw a flash of fire, and with a bang, a storm seemed to blow on the sea, and the sailors who rushed to the front of a boat and were ready to fight fell into the water one after another, and there were countless holes in the sails, and the sea water was flushed red.

'Boom, ......boom' explosions sounded one after another, and the Jin army was hit one after another, and was beaten for a while, and the ones behind immediately learned to be obedient, no longer going straight forward, but constantly adjusting the navigation, trying to avoid the artillery fire, but the effect did not seem to be large, and they were still frequently hit. Before this level was passed, the Song army remembered the crisp sound of 'da-da-......' on the ship, and watched the tongues of fire sweeping across the sea, weaving into a fire net, and blowing a steel storm!

The task of the transport ships of the Song Navy was mainly to carry soldiers to land and transfer materials, and the self-defense weapons they were equipped with were light rapid-fire guns, and the power of using them to fight large warships was obviously insufficient, and the firing range was low and could not confront large and medium warships. However, it is very effective against pirates and suppressing the enemy on the beachhead during landing, especially when firing shotguns, which can form a fan more than ten feet wide. It has a large killing range, and it is light in weight and easy to operate. Rapid fire to suppress enemies.

The main role of the Jin Army's movement was to transport the commandos who undertook hand-to-hand combat and beach-grabbing landing, and they actually did the work of the Song Army's transport ships. However, they are more flexible and faster. Because the ship is small, it is impossible to equip heavy weapons such as trebuchets and bed crossbows, and can only rely on the sailors on board to provide firepower, which is nothing more than longbow crossbows, so in the face of the Song Navy transport fleet that formed a formation, it still suffered a loss, and it was impossible to get close for a while......

"Concentrate your forces on the enemy's fighting ships and stop them from approaching the convoy!" Liu Han saw that the position was temporarily stabilized over there, and the biggest threat to it was the few surviving large warships of the Jin Army, so he immediately summoned the battleships scattered everywhere to concentrate on destroying the enemy.

"Keep your distance from large enemy ships. Crashing into the enemy's transport fleet opens the way for the warriors, and if you encounter an enemy ship, you must not move against it, but only take the opportunity to ram its tail to board the ship! Chi Zhanhui saw the loss of a general, but calmed down, now the two armies are fighting together, even if it is impossible to get out, it has formed a situation of endless death, he decisively ordered.

The commanders of the two armies saw each other's weaknesses and advantages clearly at this moment, and wisely chose tactics that were beneficial to them. As a result, a melee quickly turned into a decisive battle between soldiers and generals, with both sides using their own means to chase and dodge on the sea in search of fighters. Stir up the sea and make waves......

…………

Speaking of Diagonal Ali, he sacrificed the front army with the decisiveness of 'a strong man breaking his wrist' in exchange for his chance to escape, and groped his way forward in the dark night all night. He had eaten a few more years of salt than Chi Zhanhui. In the early morning, he found that he had deviated from the course, and his destination was just as Song Shuijun judged that he planned to return from the original road of the Yalu River to avoid winter.

But at this time, Diagonal Ali found that the rear army, which had become the front army, did not know where to run. He hurriedly sent a sentinel ship to find and detect the location of Song Shuijun. The fleet took the opportunity to rest and regroup on the sea. Under the inventory, Ali was distressed, and the night's diving was not only the loss of the former army, but also the capsizing of no less than twenty large and small warships in the dark night, or falling behind and getting lost, and the outcome after breaking away from the brigade is not difficult to imagine.

"Report to the capital, the search for the northeast sentinel ship has returned, they heard the sound of artillery firing, and they are afraid that they will be discovered by the Song fleet and dare not move forward, so they hurriedly report!" Just as Ali was thinking hard about how to lie and deceive the Taishi, some soldiers entered the cabin in a panic to report.

"How far is it from us?" Diagonal Ali asked anxiously.

"Judging by the sound of the guns and the time of departure, the sentinel ship is about thirty miles away from us!" The soldier replied.

"Only thirty miles!" Sweat oozes from his face, and he whispers in a panic, "How did they rush to the front of us, and which one is fighting them?" ”

"Dutong, could it be the Chi Zhan Hui Department of the former army?" Atuhan guessed.

"If Chi Zhanhui and Song Shuijun encounter, then they will soon find out our location, and it won't take long to catch up!" Diagonal Ali walked around the cabin twice and said uneasily.

"Dutong, I'm afraid that the front army will not be able to support it for long, should we go to support?" Atuhan asked again.

"Are you sure you will win?" Diagonal Ali asked rhetorically, looking up at Atuhan.

"It's... There is no certainty of victory in the end! Although Atu Han didn't want to admit it, he still shook his head helplessly, he really didn't dare to say victory in the face of Song Shuijun's strong ships and artillery.

"You go and inquire in detail about the spies of the sentry ship, whether the cannon sound is dense and intense!" Diagonal Ali may also feel that it is inappropriate to say in front of his subordinates that he will not save him if he dies, so he ordered his own soldiers to ask carefully.

"This may be a clash between our lost ships and the Song Navy, if we rush to them, we will fall into their trap, or we will all be clever!" Atu Hanmei said with a smile, he had already seen Du Tong's thoughts, and wanted to repeat the old trick and let the former army be a substitute for the dead ghost, but he was ashamed in his heart but did not dare to say it clearly.

"Dutong, the little one carefully inquired about it, and the cannon sound heard by the sentinel ship was not intense, and it was intermittent!" It didn't take long for the soldiers to come back in a hurry and report.

"Well, that would mean it was just a skirmish, but it was also providential, and we were able to avoid the enemy's trap by mistake!" Slant Ali breathed a sigh of relief, and he insisted on his judgment.

"Dutong, it may be the Song army's sentry ship, and it is not impossible to be discovered by the former army!" Atuhan thought about it for a moment and still said what he thought.

"Hehe, you are really a long man to destroy his prestige, if it is only a few warships of the Song army, more than 100 warships of the previous army cannot defeat them, he should also defeat the Song army for such a long time and move closer to this side, we will set sail immediately, if it is the front army, it will just catch up!" Ali patted Atuhan on the shoulder and smiled, and ordered the fleet to raise its sails and prepare to set sail.

"Dutong, whether it is the encounter between the Song army's sentry ship and the front army, or the former army being ambushed by the Song army, they can definitely judge the position of our army based on this, and we still follow the plan to go to Baozhou to return Whether we will be caught up by the Song army, why don't we turn to Zhenhai to avoid the pursuit of the Song army. Even if you catch up, there are plenty of islands to hide and deal with! Atuhan objected.

"Never, have you forgotten that we were forced into the strait by the Song army fleet and it was difficult to get out, and besides, the port facilities over there are not perfect, it is difficult to dock big ships, and the weather is getting cold day by day, and the river freezes early, why don't we take shelter outside in winter!" Diagonal Ali waved his hand.

"Dutong, please think twice, we are only half a day's voyage from Zhenhai, and there is still a nearly one-day voyage from Baozhou, and we are likely to be caught up by Song Shuijun halfway!" Atuhan still felt that it was inappropriate, and admonished.

"Hmph, is Bendu really afraid of them? If they catch up, fight them at sea, and beat them to the ground! Diagonal Ali snorted coldly and said, "Atu Han, you immediately go to the front to lead the way, so as not to take the wrong road again!" ”

Atu rarely couldn't discuss it anymore, sighed and took the order, got off the flagship, took the seat of his own Chinese army on a small boat, and led the fleet to turn to the northwest. Diagonal Ali stood on the ship's tower and looked northeast for a long time before silently returning to the cabin, in fact, he had already concluded in his heart that it must be the former army that clashed with the Song army. Last night, the Chinese army has been following the front army, just because the speed of their own ships is too slow to drag down the entire fleet, and the front army only cares about moving forward and the Chinese army distance, as long as you calculate the angle and distance of the deviation, there is no doubt that the front army will be ahead!

After a delay of more than an hour, the Jinshui Army Brigade set sail again, the wind was stronger, and at noon the sky cleared, the visibility improved, and Ali's mood was better, after all, it was more than a hundred warships, and tens of thousands of lives were abandoned. Now he estimates that at the current speed, the ship will be able to reach the sea off Baozhou when it gets dark, and it will be safe at that time.

"Dutong, it's not good, find a fleet in our left rear!"

"What?!" Ali's mood that had just improved disappeared without a trace in an instant, "Quick, check the situation with me!" ”

"God is really making people...... "Diagonal Ali climbed to the top of the ship, leaning against the female wall and looking southeast, only to see a column of battleships on the sea wave appeared in the left rear of his fleet, although the flag is not clear, but just look at the shape of the marching army can identify it is the fleet of the Song army, and he tried his best to avoid it, but he still collided.

In fact, it is really no wonder that Ali is really at fault this time, and it is his selfishness that makes him make the wrong decision. If he went to reinforce the front army, then he could just break the deadlock, not only save the front army from danger, but also inflict heavy damage on the Mingzhou Naval Division, and more importantly, turn to the northwest to avoid the pursuit of the main fleet of the Song Water Army and escape the catastrophe. If you follow Atu Han's advice and turn to Zhenhai to dock at the port, you can also pass by the pursuing Song Shuijun, but now there is no village in front of the village, there is no store in the back, and there is not even a place to hide on the vast sea!

This can really be described as a cycle of heavenly principles, repeated hesitation and evasion will eventually escape doom, and the yin and yang will return to their original colors...... (To be continued......)
