32. Battle of the Marines

"These three warships of the Song Army must have come to test our situation!"

"Why don't we destroy that one too and give them some color?"

Wanyan Sugumie was obviously dissatisfied with Su Baoheng's decision.

"Yes, now when that Song ship escapes, it will definitely leak the news that we have an ambush on this island!"

"Then by setting up an ambush like this, wouldn't your strategy of luring the emperor into a trap be exposed?"

Xiao Jinzhong seemed a little puzzled by Su Baoheng's decision.

"What do you know?"

"The biggest disadvantage for our army now is that we don't know the true strength of the Song Army's navy. Moreover, we are not familiar with the conditions of the nearby waters, and we are unable to send spies to patrol!"

"So the only way we can do now is to let them come to our door!"

"Didn't they take the initiative to attack just now?"

"You also know that we are awesome!"

"After the escaped warship returns to report that we have an ambush here, if the Song army knows that it is not strong enough, it will naturally escape temporarily and ask for reinforcements!"

"At that time, the Song Army will definitely think that we want to use this as a stronghold to attack the Yangtze River Estuary, and will not take into account the defense in the direction of Lin'an!"

"So I guess the Song Army will never dare to attack us again tonight!"

"You are now ordered to go down, so that everyone can rest peacefully, recharge their batteries, and head south to Lin'an tomorrow!"

After Su Baoheng explained to the generals, he also began to let down his guard.

“How is the situation with the Tatars?”

Xu Xian didn't seem surprised when he saw that out of the three warships, only one came back.

"Return to the Prime Minister!"

"It's just as you expected!"

"After the Tatars burned and sank our two empty ships, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue our ship!"

The bearded general came to report to Xu Xian.

"good!"

"I didn't expect Su Baoheng to be so cunning!"

"Presumably the Tatars will no longer be defensive!"

"General Yue, you are now leading the vanguard, taking a small boat, and landing on the island in a roundabout way. Do not expose your whereabouts. I believe you understand what to do next!"

"The others will follow me and be ready to attack the island at any time!"

Xu Xian began to give orders.

The Jin army is on an uninhabited island, on the largest warship on the shore.

"You said that Su Shangshu asked everyone to rest and just let the two of us stand guard here. Isn't this a little unfair?"

"No matter if it's fair or not, we have to obey the orders from above!"

"Who told us that we are not Jurchens, but Han people!"

"And now even Su Shangshu is working for the Jin people, so what do we mean?"

“But we Han people are human beings too!”

"How can you bully us like this?"

"Every time we charge in a war, we Han people are always at the forefront!"

"When there is good food and drink, those golden people always eat first. If they can't finish the rest, we can eat!"

"What do you think we are?"

"Keep your voice down!"

"Keep your voice down!"

"Don't let those golden people hear it, otherwise you, me and even our family will be dead!"

Two soldiers on guard were talking softly in the meantime.

"Are we just going to live like dogs to the golden people?"

One of the sentry soldiers with a pockmarked face was obviously dissatisfied.

"Then what can be done?"

"Who made the Central Plains fall into the hands of the Jin people?"

"It's not like you can't see the situation now. The Kingdom of Jin is getting stronger and stronger, but the Kingdom of Song is getting weaker and weaker. If we don't treat the Jin people as dogs, what else can we do?"

"We can only hope that one day, the Jin people will go south and completely destroy the Song Dynasty. Then we, the Song people in the Central Plains, may have the opportunity to take charge of the family!"

Another soldier with a mole on the bridge of his nose responded.

"Can we still be the masters of our own country?"

The pockmarked soldier clearly looked unconvinced.

"Of course!"

"Don't you know that in the eyes of the Jin people, the Liao people who conquered first have a higher status than us Song people?"

"After the Jin people conquer the Song Dynasty in the south, then our Song people in the Central Plains will naturally have a higher status in the eyes of the Jin people than the Song people in the south!"

"And now our Emperor of the Jin Kingdom has decided to move the capital to Bianjing. This is great news for us Song people in the Central Plains!"

The soldier with the mole on the bridge of his nose responded.

"I thought you said we could really be the masters of our own country!"

"It turns out that their status is only slightly higher than that of the Song people in the south in the eyes of the Jin people!"

"Isn't that the golden man's dog?"

"I've had enough of living like this, a golden man and a dog!"

The more the pockmarked soldier talked, the more dissatisfied he became.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"yawn!"

"I am sleepy!"

"You take a look first!"

"If anything unusual happens, wake me up immediately!"

The soldier with the mole on his nose looked sleepy, and then he leaned against the boat and snored.

"snort!"

"Even you bullied me!"

"You all go to sleep, go to sleep!"

"I'm on guard...I'm on guard!"

"Who makes me a Song dog in the eyes of the golden people!"

The pockmarked soldier was filled with suppressed anger and didn't know where to go.

Suddenly, the pockmarked soldier heard the sound of violent water waves not far away, which seemed to be different from the waves.

So the pockmarked soldier opened his eyes and looked toward the sound, and suddenly discovered that countless small boats appeared not far from the shore, and there were constant figures of people on these boats.

This...could this be an encounter with pirates?

But no matter how bold the pirates are, they won’t dare to rob our army!

Could it be...could it be Song Jun?

The Song army is going to land to attack us.

The pockmarked soldier almost screamed in shock when he thought of this, but immediately covered his mouth.

These Tatars have bullied me for so long, why should I care about their life or death?

If these people who came to sneak attack in small boats are really Song people, then I can kill more of these Tatars to vent my anger.

But what should I do now?

what can we do about it?

The pockmarked soldier suddenly fell into hesitation.

"Have you noticed anything suspicious?"

Suddenly the soldier with the mole on the bridge of his nose asked a question.

"No...nothing suspicious was found!"

The soldier with the pockmark glanced at the soldier with the mole on the bridge of his nose and found that his eyes were still closed. He obviously didn't know that someone was secretly approaching the shore, so he quickly ignored him.

"well!"

"Nothing suspicious, it's about time now!"

"You go into the cabin, ring the bell for me, and report to the people above that you are safe!"

After the soldier with the mole on his nose finished speaking, he started snoring again.

"good!"

"I'm going to ring the bell now!"

The pockmarked soldier responded.

Since every Jinbing sentry ship is equipped with a big bell, it is specially used to report the enemy's situation at night. Every two hours or so, the sentry soldiers will ring the bell to report safety.

Ringing the bell once means that you can continue to sleep without any danger.

Ringing the bell twice means everyone should be on alert.

Ringing the bell three times means that everything is safe for the time being and you can continue to sleep.

Ringing the bell four times indicates that a powerful enemy is present and everyone is immediately ready to fight.
