It is very strange that Song and Xia, who were in a fighting posture, suddenly turned around and started running away at the moment of contact... It was running away.
Regardless of the Xixia people or the Song army, the retreat shown at this moment was like running away.
Gao Zunyu arranged for the troops to retreat in order, and was about to take a look at the battle situation ahead, but what he saw was that they were rushing back to camp.
How could it be? At this time, no matter how stupid Gao Zunyu was, he knew something was wrong.
"The entire army is ready, follow the retreat plan, and retreat immediately!"
Although it was still unclear what happened, retreat was definitely inevitable. Gao Zunyu no longer hesitated and directly asked the messenger to give the order to retreat immediately.
The so-called inability to retreat immediately is to coax those inspectors who do not understand military affairs. How can they not be prepared to retreat at any time when fighting deep in the enemy's territory? Otherwise, it is impossible to arrange the retreat order overnight.
The headquarters is on the mountainside, and the battlefield is at the foot of the mountain. After advancing on the battlefield, it has reached the plains. Gao Zunyu can clearly see the entire territory below. Both the enemy and ourselves are desperately retreating. It seems that the Xixia people are more anxious than ourselves.
He needed to ask Zhong Yi what happened ahead to cause such a strange thing to happen.
No need to ask... At this moment, Gao Zunyu seemed to hear a loud noise, very far away, and seemed to be right next to his ears... Then he looked to the left following the sound, and he saw a huge
, the yellow curtain appeared out of thin air...
The yellow curtain thirty to fifty feet high, with a row of flowers on the top, rushed over with a roar... Nothing in the world is more terrifying than this, and nothing is faster than this galloping speed.
There is nothing more shocking than this sight...
Everyone was dumbfounded. Whether they were the soldiers who were ready to retreat or the soldiers who had just fought against the Xixia people and were already running, they were all dumbfounded. They didn't know what they should do. They just watched and roared.
The yellow curtain was in a daze...
You might want to run away, but you feel like your legs can't keep up with what you're thinking.
"Run! Run!"
Zhong Yi howled hard, and the steps that had stopped for a moment came to life again. At this time, he also understood what was going on, and finally understood why the Xixia people had to retreat...
The imperial court is right! The imperial court is right! Zhong Yi's mind was churning, and he kept shouting: "Run... run quickly... up the mountainside..."
We are ready to retreat, and today we have sent 10,000 soldiers to pretend to fight. But with these 10,000 soldiers, Gao Zunyu seemed to see his own guilt...
Watching stupidly, look at the roaring yellow curtain that is getting closer and closer, and then look at the soldiers fighting for their lives with this yellow curtain at the foot of the mountain... Who would have thought that the Xixia people actually destroyed the Yellow River?
Digging it open? Who would have thought?
No! The court thought that it was because of greed for merit that it was delayed, just one day, just one day!
At this time, Zhong Yi was most grateful for the training subjects of the old guard camp, and he was also glad that he had not wasted all these years, and kept running day and night. At this time, he was fully equipped and was running five kilometers at a rapid pace...
At the same time, Zhong Yi was also glad that this was a new army, which was trained by soldiers from the old guard camp. The five-kilometer sprint was a required training event.
There is no longer any formation, they are all running as hard as they can, spreading their legs and running as hard as they can. The long-term training has made them not forget the indoctrination that weapons are their second life, and they are still not willing to drop their weapons while running.
Years of training and standardized operations allow all soldiers to strictly carry equipment properly when participating in battle. When running in a chaotic formation, they still have neat steps and do not stagger...
Gao Zunyu also regained his composure, but faced with such a situation, he was really helpless. He could only keep looking at the rushing water of the Yellow River getting closer and closer, and then at the soldiers running hard. All he could think about was
pray······
"Commander, we need to prepare ropes..."
"rope?"
"Yes! The soldiers at the end probably can't escape the current. We need to throw the rope down and save as many soldiers as possible at the back. This was the method used by the officials when they directed the rescue in Huazhou!
"
This is a captain of the old guard camp and a soldier of the Bianliang garrison who went to Huazhou with the official family.
"Yes...yes...prepare ropes and order all soldiers to line up in columns and prepare to rescue people!"
Gao Zunyu's eyes were still looking at the scary water of the Yellow River. He didn't care whether what the captain said was reasonable or not. He only heard that some officials had said such words...
Zhong Yi felt that he should have reached the halfway point of the mountain. He just felt that at this time, he only had the concept of escape in his mind and had long forgotten to observe the terrain. He just felt that he needed to lift his legs higher and higher.
However, he still did not dare to stop or try to see the situation of the entire team... This has nothing to do with duty or courage. In the face of such power, any courage is
It’s no use, no one can face danger in such a situation without fear!
It should be safe. Zhong Yi could already hear the noise in the team. He knew that he was not far from the headquarters. The layout of the headquarters at that time was not to consider the Xixia people's behavior of digging up the Yellow River, but just to stand up.
From a high place, you can clearly see the panoramic view of the battle and respond accordingly.
Unexpectedly, he missed the mark and prevented the entire army from falling into danger. He did not dare to think about what it would be like if the entire army were within the impact of the Yellow River water from the breach. The commander of their army was also
What kind of crime?
Zhong Yi turned his head, his chest felt like being hit by an arrow, and every breath hurt. How many years later, I still remember this feeling when I first entered the guard camp and ran with the officials for the first time.
At that time, he once criticized it, thinking that this was teaching soldiers how to escape...
He had gotten used to it over the years, and he didn't think running at such a high speed was of any use. But at this moment, he was sincerely thankful...
This kind of happiness was not only for him, but also for the entire team. Looking around, although there was no trace of any formation, Zhong Yi could see that most of the soldiers had climbed up the mountainside.
The water flow was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers on the left wing should have no sound in their ears. There was only the roar of the Yellow River water, but they were still clear and kept running without stopping for a moment.
At this time, even if Zhong Yi didn't want to see it anymore, it still happened. The rushing, rushing, and sand-swept Yellow River water came over like this. He watched each soldier being trapped by the water curtain that was still three to five feet high.
Submerged, and behind the water curtain, there was only the still rushing water of yellow mud, and no trace of soldiers could be seen...
