Although the Han River is not as wide as the Yangtze River water surface, except for the narrower water surfaces in the upper and lower reaches, the water surface in the middle reaches is more than 200 feet, and the widest point is even more than 300 feet and nearly kilometers wide.

Entering Jingmen City, it is only more than a hundred miles away from the Xiangyang City Waterway, and it is already considered the middle reaches of the Han River.

There is no doubt that the Mongolian cavalry is dominant by land, but now the fleet is on the water, and the war horses under the cavalry's crotch are obviously impossible to be two animals. The waters are nearly kilometer wide, and the fleet sails in the center of the waters, and is three or four hundred meters away from the two sides of the strait. Unless the Mongolians have a bed crossbow with a very long range, except for a few sharpshooters with amazing arms, the Mongolian cavalry will not be able to pose any threat to the fleet sailing in the middle of the Han River.

Jia Sidao could see this disadvantage, and I think the commander of the Mongolian cavalry could also see it. If he couldn't even see this, it would be impossible to rely on just 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry to drag the hundreds of thousands of Song troops in Huaixi and Huaidong war zones to the local area without further ado. Of course, the Mongolian cavalry was too cunning, and the commander of Huaixi and Huaidong war zones had their own plans, which was also the two very important reasons.

Mongolian cavalry can dominate the land by speed and extremely powerful impact. Bringing a bed crossbow or a trencher with a long range will only drag their greatest advantage. Judging from the battle situation in the past half month, the Mongolian cavalry is obviously lightly equipped and mainly guerrilla. It is naturally impossible to carry large siege equipment. You must know that whether it is a bed crossbow or a trencher, they are all equipment for siege battles.

Since the cavalry that was dominant by land could not be used by the Song Navy fleet in the water, the Mongolian cavalry still came and came with great fanfare, there was obviously another reason behind this.

Since the commander of the Mongolian cavalry is not a fool, he must have other support or preparations.

To deal with the Song army's navy, the most powerful weapon can obviously be used to deal with the navy.

So, where are the Mongol navy?

This is the problem that Jia Sidao is most worried about.

The rivers and seas come very quickly.

Meng Gong was able to let Jiang Hai pick up Jia Sidao, obviously he had great trust in Jiang Hai. Therefore, Jiang Hai had a very good understanding of the friendship between Meng Gong and Jia Sidao. If Jiang Hai had a little scrutiny of Jia Sidao, then when Jia Sidao knew that he was gentle and was not willing to supervise hundreds of thousands of troops to siege Xiangyang City, Meng Gong had already made a statement and asked him to return to Lin'an City. Zhao Yun clearly told Jia Sidao to decide whether to go or go, he still insisted on going to Xiangyang City to reward the army, but let Jiang Hai accept Jia Sidao from the bottom of his heart.

Nowadays, the mentality of most generals in the entire Jinghu army is the same as that of Jianghai. The national policy of emphasizing culture and neglecting military forces in the Song Dynasty also directly led to the opposition between civil officials and military generals.

Civil officials look down on military generals, and military generals also look down on scholars who are only knowledgeable and have no power to tie up. Not to mention powerful people like Jia Sidao who are not tired of being fucked but have become a high-powered person because of nepotism.

The emperor and the Censor rewarded the army to the morale of the Jinghu War Zone, which was under heavy troops, will not be mentioned for now. Just Jia Sidao's courage is enough to make those warriors who may not even know a few words of big words admire them from their hearts.

I'm afraid even Jia Sidao himself did not expect that his decision made after a long period of weighing the trade-offs would have such unexpected gains.

The two of them were grateful and admired, and the other was also interested in making friends, so they got along very well along the way.

After hearing Jia Sidao's worries, Jiang Hai showed a look of surprise on his face. His surprise was not because Jia Sidao said that the Mongolians might be the Mongolian cavalry on the shore were just to assist and lure the enemy, but because Jia Sidao could see this.

When the Mongolian cavalry appeared, Jiang Hai had already thought of this. If he had not had this awareness, Meng Gong would not have handed over the most elite Xiangyang Navy to him to command.

"My Lord, please be content with peace of mind. If you encounter so many Mongolian cavalry on land, the Mo General would probably have already pulled the man away. But now it is on the Han River, on the territory of the Navy of the Song Dynasty. Cavalry, my soldiers in the Song Dynasty are not as good as the Mongols, but when it comes to the navy, hehe, even if the Mongols are playing horses, what if the Mongols are there, what if the Mongols are. Please sit down and see that the Mongols capture the enemy for the Lord."

Jiang Hai smiled and bowed to Jia Sidao.

"Haha, OK! Then Sidao is waiting for Commander Jiang to report the victory and return."

Seeing Jiang Hai like this, Jia Sidao didn't say much. Jiang Hai is a professional in military affairs. Although he has a vision, he is not as good as Jiang Hai in real battles, especially in naval combat.

Jiang Hai bowed his fists and left in a hurry.

Soon, Jia Sidao saw the originally rapid sound of war drums suddenly change, and then various flags on the flagship of Jianghai, that is, the Xiangyang Navy, were shaking one after another.

The more than 20 warships in the front and rear of the fleet that were originally sailing in a row soon began to quickly leave the brigade and lined up on the river in a row. The other warships extended in turn to guard more than 20 ships carrying two thousand imperial guards and rewarding military affairs, including Jia Sidao. In a short while, the fleet turned into a defensive formation with the word "gong".

In front, in the middle and at the tail were wrapped in sixty or seventy warships from the Xiangyang Navy, guarding more than twenty warships with little attack power, including Jia Sidao's ship.

Have the Song Army Navy started to use flag language?

Looking at the ever-changing flags of various colors on the Jianghai boat, Jia Sidao was shocked. Although the flag language used by the Song army navy is still simple and needs to be coordinated with drum sounds, this is already a great progress in Jia Sidao's opinion. The surprise given to him by the Navy of the Song Dynasty was great enough.

This is not the end.

Most of the entire fleet has been adjusted to a defensive formation, but there are more than 20 warships of different shapes slowly left the brigade under the leadership of Jianghai Ship, and divided into two rows to start cruising outside the fleet, obviously in abducting the raid from the Mongolian navy who has not seen any movement yet.

The Han River was considered an inland river in the Song Dynasty. However, because the defense lines of the Song Dynasty and the Mongols in the Jingxiang area were intertwined, even if the Navy of the Song Dynasty was often cleared, the defense lines of the Song Dynasty were on the defensive land, so there was no way to completely clear the Mongols' navy. This is also the main reason why Jia Sidao saw so many fewer merchant ships than on the Yangtze River after entering the Han River.

On the north bank of the Han River, the roar of horse hooves that had originally faintly came from now on. Even on this ship, Jia Sidao could feel the hull shaking slightly. From time to time, there were big fish jumping out of the water due to fright. The entire Han River boiled like water about to boil.

Looking at the north shore, smoke and dust covered the sky, but I couldn't see anything clearly. Jia Sidao thought about it, turned around and returned to the cabin, but when he came out, he had a long tube-shaped thing in his hand.
