In the afternoon, it was still quite some time before dark, and the thin spring rain still showed no sign of stopping, so the entire Jin army collapsed.
In other words, before the total collapse came, Wu Shu, who was left behind in the rear camp, was extremely frightened, but he still tried his best to make a series of preparations... At the same time, he asked the Taishi slave to take Yu Yunwen to visit Zhao Song's official family, in order to delay it as much as possible
In the event of a possible total collapse, on the one hand, the guards were asked to open all the camp gate drawbridges and prepare flags behind the drawbridges for response when necessary; on the other hand, the remaining troops in the camp were asked to directly drive the signing troops out of the camp from the other side to vacate.
On the one hand, they also asked people to clear the passages and grounds in the camp to facilitate the entry and preparation of troops.
However, all preparations, at least the immediate preparations, were completely ineffective when the moment came when the earth collapsed and the mountains were destroyed.
The camp was out of control from front to back. The vast majority of people no longer paid attention to the military orders. Robbery and fighting spread everywhere along with abandoning their posts and fleeing. Nine out of ten flag bearers arranged for them also turned around and left... At the beginning, Wu
Shu also tried to lead his bodyguards to kill the flag bearers as a restraint. However, as the first batch of defeated troops arrived in front of the camp, even the ruling bodyguards' own remaining bodyguards lost their last trace of confidence and stopped executing military orders.
.
This is of course understandable - you know, even though countless suspension bridges and gates were opened in front of the camp because of the previous troops, when the defeated army turned back, there was still a large-scale stampede, and countless soldiers were directly pushed in by the rear troops.
In the ditch, these core combat forces of the Great Jin Kingdom immediately fought and pushed each other on the suspension bridge and mud ditch for the slightest possibility of escape.
They trampled on each other, tore each other apart, and even waved their war hammers. Some even tried to take off their armor in the mud, just to be able to climb into the camp earlier.
In just an instant, the armor, weapons and the mud in the ditch caused a huge attrition that probably only took half an hour of melee.
In fact, seeing this situation, not only Wu Shu gave up his efforts completely, but also the other people in the camp who strictly abided by military orders lost their discipline and fled directly.
"King of Wei! King of Wei! Fourth Prince!"
Angry and angry, Hong Ya shouted several times to the watchtower. "The situation is hopeless. If we don't leave now, are we going to ruin all the Great Jin Kingdom? Let's go back to Zhending Mansion!"
The pale-faced Wu Shu finally nodded blankly, then climbed down the watchtower in a daze, but almost fell down. But before he fell, several personal guards rushed up and lifted his prince to the ground.
, and someone quickly brought the war horse.
"No! I can't go to Zhending Mansion!"
Wu Shu got on his horse in confusion, and marched slightly for a moment with Hong Ya and dozens of his close guards. When they reached an intersection in a camp, he suddenly regained some clarity. "Such a huge collapse, how many people on the Hutuo River are there?"
A pontoon bridge can't pass many people at all, so the large group of soldiers and horses still have to go east... But if they go east, you know Hong Chengzhi..."
Of course Hong Ya knew... wouldn't it be that most of the Jin army's defeated troops would definitely stay in Hutuo Henan in a hurry, and Yue Fei would probably bring them from the lower reaches... But now, how could he still dare to interfere in this matter?
As the person in the army who was probably the most psychologically prepared for the collapse of the Jin Army, he was much more awake than Wu Shu just now, but he didn't dare to say a word, just for fear that something would happen in the future and suspicion would be raised on him.
Yu Yunwen A pool of muddy water is enough to scare people!
"I'll go to Shiyi first to see if we can gather together along the way and cross the river as soon as possible." On the other side, Wu Shu saw Hong Ya didn't speak, but he misunderstood and thought that the other civil servant was afraid of death. "Hong Chengzhi, please go there.
Back camp, take the people from the back camp to Zhending Mansion. Before, I asked Gao Qingyi to call Lao Liu to send reinforcements. Now you have to stop them. Don't let them come to die again. Let Lao Liu guard Zhending... If you can do it for a day,
One day...if Pusu Yue is able to grasp the pontoons on the river, how many people can be gathered in!"
When he started to say this, Wu Shu tried to take his gold medal from his waist and gave it to the other party, but for some reason, he didn't take it off until the end. In the end, Hong Ya himself was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
He beat the horse himself, then stretched out his hand to untie it and snatched it with his hands.
After taking it, the two of them beat their horses separately and prepared to go their separate ways. However, after taking a few steps, Hong Ya couldn't help but spin his horse slightly. He held the gold medal and handed it sideways to Wu Shu:
"Fourth Prince, you must cherish it!"
Wu Shu looked back at the other party blankly, and nodded slightly in the rain, but soon after, the two finally went their separate ways and parted ways.
And if Wu Shu and Hong Ya still have some time and thinking space because they are in the rear camp, then before the total collapse, Wanyan Huonv, Wanyan Caishu, and Jiagu Wuli, who were at the forefront of the highland,
General Bu San and his subordinates were the first to bear the brunt, and they realized at the first moment that the situation was over and that no manpower could do anything about it.
However, when the place collapsed, the three former close confidants of the Lou family behaved completely differently.
Jiagu Wuli, who was already sixty-four years old, let out a long sigh, immediately rode back to camp, and tried to escape. And contrary to most of the scattered troops, he actually led dozens of mounted guards to go eastward against the trend, as if
They were planning to go in the opposite direction, taking advantage of the inconvenience of the Song Army's Iron Curtain Formation to easily avoid the rout of the large army, and also make it easier to walk to Zhending Mansion via the Futuo River.
He knew the importance of crossing the river as soon as possible.
As for Wanyan Huonv and Wanyan Jishu, they both stopped in place as if by agreement, and then allowed the soldiers and horses around them to disperse, but they just stared at the dragon on the top of the mountain without moving.
This is understandable. Others still have reasons to flee and have the instinct to survive, but what about the living girl and the uncle?
They have nothing left.
Without the belief in revenge that had supported them for so long, they had lost the last hope of defeating the dragon, and they even had no capital to gain a final foothold... Their army was at the front now, and it was probably the most difficult part to escape.
, and in this battle, someone must be responsible for the defeat.
The level of the King of Wei was a matter of fact, but Huonv and Uncle Che took the lead in attacking, resulting in the last large group of elite cavalry being divided by the Song army's cavalry. As a result, the strategic tasks on both sides were not achieved, but this was a fact that was obvious to everyone. Even Bian was unable to do so.
No need to argue.
As soon as she thought of this, under the drizzle, the living girl reined in her horse and looked at the dozens of remaining riders behind her with a smile:
"Go and find General Cai Shu... He is Taizu's nephew. He still has a life if he goes back. In the future, he will retreat to the outside of the Great Wall, among the white mountains and black waters. There is no chance that he will be able to make a comeback and avenge my father... Don't be here."
I lost my life... hurry up!"
Dozens of cavalry guards looked at each other, and no one moved for a while. However, as the Song Army formation rolled forward, more elite Song Army soldiers around them saw that it was the Jin Army generals who were attacking in a targeted manner. In the end, more than ten cavalrymen leaned over.
Then leave and go east to look for Uncle Wanyan.
The living girl originally wanted to wait for the others to leave, throw away her bag, draw her sword and kill herself, but when she saw that there were still more than a dozen horsemen behind her, she simply rode up to meet them, avoiding the Song army's formation and heading along the gap in the horse-rejecting formation.
The visible but unreachable dragon charged away.
Seeing such a scene, more than a dozen of his riders turned away again, and for a while only seven or eight of them followed.
Moreover, although the Song troops in the Juma Formation were scattered and not as dense as the surrounding formations due to the presence of the Juma formation, there were still enough heavily armored warriors to easily stop these dozen cavalrymen who could not run fast at all.
Only the living girl had been peeping for a long time, and she had already seen a group of Song soldiers carrying long knives but no blunt weapons occupying a corner of the horse-rejecting formation in front of the dragon. They looked like they could be bullied, so they took the lead at this time, relying on their excellent equestrian skills and martial arts.
Outstanding, he dodged left and right, avoiding the swarming heavy armored warriors, and led his cavalry to the group of alien warriors wielding long swords. The two sides faced each other, and these alien warriors were indeed not living women and their relatives.
Guard opponents can often be taken care of with just one hammer blow, but wiping them with long knives has no effect. The few who have used hammers and axes are obviously not used to them... For a while, they were actually entangled by a living female guard, and then died.
The woman herself almost rushed to the position two or three hundred steps in front of Long Hu on a single horse.
At this time, there was only one long-sword alien warrior left between the formation formed by the living girl and the one under the dragon banner who was obviously the Imperial Banzhi.
Seeing this situation, the formation in front of Longhu was as stable as Mount Tai, and there was no movement at all. Even in the surrounding Song army formation, no one came to rescue, because no one thought that this single horse could rush through thousands of Yuqian Banzhi.
Even the living girl herself thought at this moment that if she could die in the front line of Zhao Song and let Zhao Song's officials see whether she would die or not, then she would have no regrets.
Unexpectedly, just as the living woman's blood was boiling, she was approaching the sword-wielding warrior on the opposite side. Instead of retreating, the warrior shouted and faced him with a sword.
When the living girl saw this, she did not hesitate and faced him with a hammer.
However, as they collided face to face, the living girl actually lost her target. After about ten steps, the armored war horse neighed again, and then collapsed, throwing the living girl directly to the side.
The group refused immediately.
Although he was not pierced dramatically due to the protection of his armor, the pain was enough to make him lose his mobility and leave him to be slaughtered.
In a daze, the living woman who was caught between the two wooden cones of the horse struggled to open her eyes. She saw a large group of internal blood and blood on the side of the horse sliding and rolling along the slope. Among them, the horse's intestines came from the belly of the horse.
He was dragged for dozens of steps along the way, but at this moment, a bloody man actually stood up in the pile of internal organs, and then limped towards him.
The living girl didn't know that the other party was trying to survive. All she could say was that she was lucky to not be trampled and maimed by the horse while sliding on the ground to open the horse's belly.
Of course, now is not the time to think about the other party... The living girl tried hard to see her appearance clearly, but she couldn't turn around at all. She could only sigh in her heart, it didn't matter if she died so easily, but she didn't die before Long Hao.
In front of the Zhao and Song officials and countless famous generals of the Song Dynasty, I couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.
Of course, the grievances quickly dissipated.
Yuan Weiyi, who was covered in blood, stepped forward step by step. Under the solemn watch of the Song army around him, he first took off the gold medal from the opponent's waist and bit it in his mouth. Then he opened his faceplate and stabbed the dagger directly into his face.
Then he hurriedly stepped on the opponent's body and raised the gold medal high in one direction.
Zhao Jiu, who had previously swung his sword and rushed forward in front of the horse-rejecting formation, did not move his hands behind his hands. Seeing this scene from afar, he just stretched out his hand and pointed a finger. Yuan Weiyi was relieved.
, and then fell to the ground again, crying inexplicably for a moment.
In addition, because Pu Sanbei Lu's body was not found for a while, and Wanyan Balisu was only found with a broken flag, Wanyan Huonv was the relay of Ali in this battle.
The third Wanhu among them was also the fifth Wanhu who was actually killed by the formation.
It was now afternoon, only half a quarter of an hour after the collapse of the Jin Army, and the rain had not stopped.
On the other side, Zhao Jiu waved his sword and ordered the entire army to attack. The generals, without mentioning the commander, ordered the formation to move forward. He himself did not know why, but he was no longer willing to move forward. At this time, he saw a Jin Army general riding almost alone in the distance.
He rushed into the battle, but before he could reach him, someone jumped on his horse and revealed his gold medal. Knowing that it was a living girl who died, he became more and more lazy. He didn't want to talk or move at all. He just let Shao Chengzhang move Ma Zha and several cases, and watched the army pour in.
Go down and chase and kill the fleeing enemy.
However, just as the official sat down again, another news suddenly came.
"Qu Da surrounded Uncle Wanyanji...Uncle Wanyanji wants me to meet in front of the formation?" Zhao Jiu frowned in response. "That deputy general from the Lou Room?"
"Yes." Liu Yan blurted out. "He is also the concubine of Wanyan Cha's mother. Wanyan Cha's mother is Aguda's concubine, and he can be regarded as Aguda's nephew."
"It's okay to meet him with such status." Zhao Jiu sat upright in the rain. "But I'm not interested today... Tell Qu Da to kill him quickly, and then go to the camp and trample on the enemy."
Liu Yan bowed his head and walked away.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the military order was conveyed to Qu Duan. Qu Duan nodded in understanding and did not say a word. He just looked at the Jin army in front of the formation without weapons and horses. The latter understood and turned back to the Jin army formation.
middle.
There were hundreds of iron pagodas around Uncle Wanyan. At this time, he heard the reply and came to see his general. However, Uncle Pei looked around, especially after seeing the chaos in the ditch in front of the camp behind him, he felt that he was alone.
"The officials of the Song Dynasty look down on us, but we cannot belittle ourselves. There is no Hezha Meng'an in the Jin Kingdom that can surrender." Uncle Pei took off his pockets and neck protectors and declared loudly. "But even now, it is impossible.
Let you fight to your death...just run away! Don't think about stocking war horses in the camp. Now take off your waistcoat, cross the camp, and then throw down the armor. Our horses are good. If you find a ford, you can cross it by holding your neck.
After crossing the Hutuo River, everyone who can escape will be one. When they escape back to Yanjing, they will go to find the king. In the future, if the king wants to turn back and establish a career outside the Great Wall, he will need you to protect him."
As he spoke, he untied his braided hair, shook off the plasma and sewage attached to it, then pulled out the knife and cut hard on the main artery in his neck. With just one cut, blood gushed out from his stool.
Wash away all the stains and rainwater from your neck.
The nearby Tiefutu also rushed forward, surrounding Uncle Kai's horse, carefully supporting Wanyan's body that was gradually losing strength, and preventing him from falling.
At the same time, the cavalry of the Song Army on the periphery could not wait to start attacking and killing. Although Tiefu Tu was deliberately opened a hole behind it, it actually risked being surrounded by the Iron Curtain and the high formation on the east side of the Song Army and refused to retreat for a while.
It wasn't until the blood surge in Uncle Che's neck gradually subsided and his pupils diverged that Tiefutu, who was supporting him, carefully placed him flat on his horse. Then they all returned to their respective places, then took off their vests, and tried their best to escape after the turn was over.
Sure enough, no one surrendered.
A quarter of an hour after the total collapse, although there were not 10,000 households, there were four Aguda nephews, Wanyan Peishu, who was in charge of the battle, and he committed suicide in front of the battle.
At this point, the Jin army faced the front line and lost the last trace of its meaningless resistance.
The Song Army cavalry, who had long been ordered to pursue and kill them, took the lead and rushed forward, successfully catching up to the chaotic Jin Army camp. But here, countless exhausted Jin Army soldiers, whether on foot or on horseback, were already panicking and losing control.
, stampedes and cannibalism had already occurred, but with the arrival of the Song Army’s cavalry, the previous chaos could only be said to pale into insignificance.
Countless Jin troops, obviously wearing heavy armor and carrying heavy hammers hanging from their waists, were wantonly chased and killed by the Song army's light cavalry who had not done any damage all day long.
Zhen Lubu saw with his own eyes that groups of Jin Army armored cavalry were often chased by a small group of Mongolian light cavalry in complete disorder. They rushed into the ditch in front of the camp full of mud and corpses, or desperate to kill them.
The desperate charge was used on the suspension bridge returning to camp, so that other Jin troops on the suspension bridge fell into the ditch one after another.
And the trench in front of the camp, which was full of mud, blood, armor, weapons, bodies and wailing sounds, had already become a purgatory on earth.
"Don't look any further!"
Yelu Mawu, who usually rarely talks, stepped forward and grabbed Nian Lubu. "Let's go! If you don't go, the trench will be filled with corpses!"
Zhen Lubu turned back to face each other, his face full of confusion: "Why is it like this? Even if the defeat is already determined, even if it is a huge defeat, how can it be like this?"
"That's how it should be." Yelv Mawu sneered and shook his head, letting go of his hand, then turned around and took from the guards a reserve war horse in the camp that had never been on the battlefield, and turned over. "I saw it with my own eyes.
I have seen the Khitans look like this before, and I have seen the Song people look like this... Now it is the Jurchens' turn, why can't they be like this? Could it be that the Jurchens are really three-headed and six-armed, and are not the same as us Khitans and those Song people, and the Mongols are not the same
kind?"
Jian Lubu was speechless.
"The camp is destined to be unable to be defended. There is no point in staying!" Yelu Mawu suddenly became serious and scolded him on the spot. "There are horses here. If the general wants to survive, he should quickly go to the pontoon in the north to Zhending Mansion... If
I want to work hard to save my subordinates, so I go to Shiyi to prepare, and then go back to gather the troops in front of Benshui and Hutuo River... Anyway, don't stay here in a daze."
Zhen Lubu shook his head slowly, then stepped forward to take the war horse and turned over.
In this way, the two of them led hundreds of people to ride out of the rear camp gate. As soon as they went out and walked a few steps to the south, they heard several exclamations in the noise behind them. When they turned around, they discovered that Nian Lu
This veteran of the East Route Army, who was famous for his bravery, actually went north towards Zhending without saying a word.
More than half of them also left.
Ma Wu spun his horse on the spot, hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head, turned around and led the rest of his men to ride south.
Let's not talk about Ma Wu, just talk about the other side. He Lubu galloped northward. After crossing the camp, he saw a large group of men and horses in front of him from a distance. He followed up and found out that it was Hong Ya and the civilian officials of the rear camp who had joined the army.
, as well as some of the remaining troops. What is even more shocking is that the veteran Jiagu Wulibu is also among them.
The three met each other, exchanged some words with each other, and each breathed a sigh of relief. Then they gathered together and continued north to find the pontoon bridge on the Hutuo River.
After traveling for another two miles, the road just started to run parallel to the end of the Taiping River. There was no reinforcements from Pu Suyue and Jian Luguan, but Gao Qingyi and more than a hundred cavalry were coming towards them.
Seeing this situation, Zhen Lubu and Jiagu Wulibu lowered their heads slightly, while Hong Ya quickly took the lead to meet them.
Before Hong Ya could speak, Gao Jingshan rushed in and asked:
"Shilang Hong, how is the war going?"
"The earth collapsed, the mountains were destroyed, and the whole situation collapsed. I came here in the name of the King of Wei to ask you not to bring in the Sixth Prince's reinforcements. Then I asked the Sixth Prince to gather the troops and guard the city carefully, and then asked Pu Suyue to clean up the order on the pontoon...
"As he spoke, Hong Ya raised the gold medal in his hand high. "Then, I myself will go to the lower reaches of the north bank of the Hutuo River to meet the defeated troops."
Jiagu Wulibu was slightly stunned behind him, but Gao Jingshan turned pale and stood there for a moment, then asked again: "Is it completely hopeless?"
"There is no hope at all." Hong Ya said impatiently. "The Song army swept across the battlefield, and our army could not maintain its organization anywhere. Even the fourth prince had no choice but to go to Shiyi first, preparing to collect and reorganize the defeated troops outside the battle...
…Qualcomm must turn around quickly and go back with us!”
Gao Jingshan became more and more panicked, but in the end he turned around at the urging of the other party and went downstream.
The group of people grew stronger, and after walking for a while, the shouts of killing behind them gradually became distant. Instead, they gradually heard the turbulent flow of the river in front of them, and the sound of water was loud in front of them. Everyone knew that the Hutuo River was coming, so they couldn't help but speed up and move forward again.
After walking a few steps, I saw the Hutuo River right in front of me, and the Psuyue camp on this side was neatly organized and the flags were clearly marked. Then I breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, the young Pu Suyue jumped on his horse and led the crowd to greet him, and hurriedly asked about the war:
"Why did Gao Tongshi come back so quickly? Minister Hong, the battle ahead... Why is General Lubu here? General Wulibu is also here?"
"I'll tell you the truth, General." Hong Ya had broken the jar a long time ago. At this time, he had no burden and went directly to tell him. "The front was defeated, the Song army swept across, and the casualties were heavy, but our army could not gain a foothold anywhere...
The King of Wei went to Shiyi and prepared to collect the troops on the outside of the battlefield, so I have the gold medal with me and asked me to pass on the order to you. You must control the pontoon bridge, collect the broken troops as much as possible, and deal with it when necessary."
Pu Suyue was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes from the gold medal in his opponent's hand, glanced at Zan Lubu and Jiagu Wulibu again, and then nodded blankly.
But soon, he glanced at the pale-faced Gao Qingyi, and asked Hong Ya again: "In that case... I dare to ask Minister Hong, if there is any news about General Piaohe?"
Hong Ya didn't know what to say for a moment, but Gao Qingyi hid his face directly on the horse.
"It's hard to say." Tan Lubu suddenly answered. "The victorious Song army came from the east. I, General Yeluma Wu, and General Wanyan Onun were all on the eastern front. They broke up first and were able to escape into the camp. Wuli
The supplementary general should have just rotated his troops in the camp before, but in addition to that, the troops on the Western Front and the Central Army were too dense, and they dispersed too late. People were blocked at the suspension bridge in front of the camp gate, and there were many trampled casualties.
...My dear nephew, let me speak frankly. The position of Pyoha is inherently dangerous, and it is still an hour before it gets dark... If this continues, by the time it gets dark, Pyoha will be lucky enough to survive, and his Bohai
I'm afraid tens of thousands of households will suffer heavy casualties."
Hearing this, everyone almost looked up at the sky together, and their faces became even more grim.
After a long while, Pu Suyue nodded: "In this case, I will send you across the river. The Sixth Prince will definitely still be waiting eagerly in Zhending City, waiting for news from you."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but no one refuted. Instead, they accelerated more and more, passing through Pu Suyue's camp with only two or three thousand people, and then boarded the pontoon bridge on the Hutuo River from the back of the camp.
The Hutuo River is a big river, it is a flood season, and it is an estuary. It is not easy to build pontoon bridges. There are only four here. You can imagine how many bridges can be crossed when the rear troops are defeated.
Only a few people have already made a living, but they don't bother to care about those things.
In fact, after the group of people boarded the bridge and crossed the river separately, they were finally completely relieved and seemed to be paralyzed on the spot. However, Pu Suyue turned around and went back without hesitation.
In this way, the group of people rested here for a while, and then they were about to leave. But just as they were about to take action, they heard the noise in the camp on the other side of the river.
The people who had already become frightened did not dare to neglect. They hurriedly found a small slope in front of the pontoon bridge, climbed up on horseback and looked up. However, they saw neither the pursuers nor the large group of fleeing troops. Instead, they saw
Pu Suyue's banner led about a thousand cavalry directly out of the camp and headed towards the battlefield against the Taiping River.
When everyone sees this shape, why don’t they understand?
But today I saw too many things about life and death, and I was speechless for a while.
Except one person.
"What's the point of my life?" Gao Qingyi's nose felt sour and he fell to the ground in the rain, crying bitterly. "How many years have Liao He been with me in life and death? His life and death are unknown, and I don't even dare to ask.
On the contrary, for a junior to look down upon death like this...it really mortifies me!"
After hearing this, everyone had different expressions.
Hong Ya simply sneered: "Gao Tongshi, you didn't just betray Laohe? Didn't you betray the fourth prince? You were the one who planned the military formation in detail. Although it was forced by the situation, there was nothing wrong with it... But since
If you are defeated and cause today's disaster, someone should be held responsible... Fifteen thousand households, even if you count one percent of your fault, you should kill to pay for it!"
Hearing this, Gao Qingyi nodded repeatedly: "What Minister Hong said is absolutely true."
With that said, Gao Qingyi ignored everyone and undressed directly in front of everyone, then walked down the slope and waded into the swollen water of the Hutuo River.
In this regard, everyone said nothing and looked at each other coldly.
And sure enough, Gao Qingyi walked seven or eight steps, and the water reached his chest. He tested it with his feet and found that there seemed to be a big pit in front of him. He didn't dare to move anymore. He just looked up and cried.
Seeing this situation, the people on the shore were too lazy to look anymore, turned their horses and headed towards Zhending City.
Hong Ya, on the other hand, was really unhappy and yelled directly on the shore: "Gao Tong! That's enough! You are such a smart person and you know things better than anyone else. As a result, when Marshal Nianhan died, you didn't go to be buried with him. Gao Jingshan
When I see you out of the city, you go out with the flow. You didn't ask about Liohe's life or death on the way before. Why can't you lose face when you see a Pu Suyue and go upstream? Do you really want to seek death? Do you still need to take off your clothes? Come up quickly and follow me.
Meet the Sixth Prince!"
After saying that, Hong Ya ignored him and turned around, leaving a horse behind. Gao Qingyi, on the other hand, was half ashamed, angry and half helpless. He cried in the river for a long time before returning to the shore, then put on his clothes and wiped his clothes.
Tears followed on horseback.
During the whole process, no one was willing to return to the other side of the river to deal with the military camp that took over Pu Suyue.
Let’s not say that this group of people escaped alive, but just say that on the other side, the Jin Army’s middle and western front tribes were indeed as Lu Bu judged. Because of the too dense military formation, they fell into being trapped after the collapse.
A situation of total massacre.
The Song Army's cavalry, whether armored or light, was ravaging on three sides for a while, and the Jin Army was killed. Finally, as the Iron Curtain on the east side of the Song Army and the front formation gradually approached, the Jin Army began to surrender on a large scale... Since the Han
It started with the children's army, then went to the Khitan, the Xi tribe, and finally the Jurchen soldiers who could not withstand the fear of being slaughtered and began to surrender in an organized manner.
These surrenders crowded in front of the camp were encouraging, but they also greatly hindered the Song army's pursuit. For this reason, many Jin troops inside took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the camp, and then used the camp to cover up and retreated from the long camp.
On one side, they scattered and returned.
Either heading for Zhending or heading for Shiyi, more often than not because of the desire to survive, they branched off into countless small groups, struggled eastward in confusion, and scattered on the Hebei Plain.
But at this time, I really couldn't care about that much, so I could only quickly transfer the surrender troops, hunt down and ravage those tribesmen who had not surrendered on the camp side.
Because Yelu Yujian knew the inside story of the Jin Army's senior officials, he was ordered to supervise the inspection of the Jin Army's subordinates. For a time, silver medals and bronze medals were flying back and forth with the Khitan knights, and they were continuously passed around and reached the imperial court one after another.
The basket in front of Zhao Jiu was filled with blood-stained plaques one after another. After a while, three more gold medals that had obviously been washed and wiped by rain were delivered to Zhao Guan's family and placed beside the previous gold medals.
The gold medal for marching ten thousand households has writing on it.
The first side is obviously Pyo Hup's gold medal.
"Dead or alive?" Zhao Jiu became more and more distressed.
"It should be dead. General Yelu said that this gold medal was taken directly from the corpse." Liu Yan told Prime Minister Liu Yan. "And General Yelu himself also identified it. Although the head was half smashed, he could still roughly tell that it was a ladle.
combine."
The second gold medal is very interesting. Its shape is completely different from the ladle gold medal. One side is actually flat, and the writing on the other side is rough and blurred, like something crudely made.
"Whose is this?" Zhao Jiu was puzzled for a moment.
"It's from Wanyan Benjian." Liu Yan blurted out. "Wanyan Benjian was raised in Agu's account since he was a child. He was given this gold medal at a very young age and promised him a future... Later Wanyan Benjian
I have been carrying this gold medal with me..." At this point, Liu Yan paused for a moment before speaking. "Guan family, this person has been captured alive. He is right here. Do you want to bring him up and take a look?"
Zhao Jiuben was too lazy to see him, but he looked around and saw that all the generals who were gradually gathering back were interested in making a move. In addition, Wanyan Benjian was the commanding general of the marching department of Longde Mansion. He was considered to be the top three figures in this confrontation, and Yelu Yujian
It was not far in front of me, and I wanted to give him some face, so I finally nodded.
After a moment, Wanyan Benjian, who was bound behind her back, was dragged up to the high ground by Yelu Yujian himself and thrown directly in front of the emperor.
The man raised his head, and Zhao Jiu looked down, only to find that the man was crying. He was not just wet by rain... Not only that, the man was struggling on the slope and turned around to look at each other, only to see the Jin Army or others down the slope.
They died or surrendered or fled, and there were many Song cavalry still chasing scattered Jin troops for fun. On such a huge battlefield, not a single bit of the mighty and powerful formation in the morning remained. For a while, tears fell like rain and wailed endlessly.
Zhao Jiu finally said coldly: "Does the golden man also want to be the crying man?"
When Wanyan Ben heard this, she cried even harder. After a while, behind Zhao Jiu and under the gaze of countless civil and military officials with different expressions, Wanyan managed to answer:
"It is precisely because I think of Sa Lihe that I feel so sad...so that the Zhao Guan family can know that Sa Lihe and I both grew up in my family's Taizu tent. Although we don't have the name of brothers, we are actually brothers... He was there that day
Qiaoshan cried when he was beaten by Wu Jie. Although I publicly defended him, I couldn't help but ridicule him in my heart... But today, when I saw this landslide, I realized... No matter how brave and arrogant a man is, if he sees
How could you not cry when your son-in-law died like this?"
As he spoke, the man grabbed his head and cried more intensely, to the point where he was out of breath and wouldn't stop for a moment.
Zhao Jiu nodded: "Sa Lihe never lost his integrity and hanged himself to death early. You can let him go!"
Hearing this, without waiting for Wanyan Benjian's reply, Yelu Yujian directly took a large bow with a loose bowstring from the ground next to him, then pressed his knee against the opponent's back, only put the bowstring on his neck, and then
With a twist, Wanyan Benjian could no longer cry. He just kept kicking his legs and struggling continuously, but after a moment, he lost the strength to struggle. Then a group of people came forward, one person holding a bow and two people dragging,
Pull Wanyan Benjian aside to ensure that his body is completely dead and completely dead.
Zhao Jiu nodded to Yelu Yujian and turned to the third gold medal again.
This gold medal is actually different from the previous two. It seems to be more refined, and the weight and volume are larger... Zhao Jiu has already recognized the word marshal without Liu Yan and Yelu Yujian explaining it.
Obviously, someone reported merit and won the gold medal of Ba Lisu.
At this point, the official finally didn't bother to look anymore, and turned his head directly to issue an order: "Good minister!"
"I'm here."
Han Shizhong cupped his hands and moved forward.
"Send your cavalry, and then take two reinforcements from the command department anywhere to seize the pontoon bridge across the Hutuo River in the north of Jinying. The rest of the left army of the imperial camp will follow me to turn around and capture the Luxian city." Zhao Jiu calmly ordered.
Han Shizhong responded immediately.
"Jin Qing..." Zhao Jiu glanced at Yu Yunwen, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, and continued to look around, and then looked at Wu Da to give instructions. "The military situation is not exact, but there are indeed relevant words. Yue Pengju and Zhang Rong, Tian Shizhong
We may have reached the mouth of the Hutuo River in Hejian Prefecture downstream... Please don't move the left army of the imperial camp, and you can make arrangements for the rest of the troops to ensure that the pursuit can be carried out... Don't stop the battlefield from surrendering and clearing the battlefield."
Wu Jie had already known the news, and even had a plan in his mind. In addition, today's victory was a big victory, and the Jin army was out of control. In fact, the number of casualties and prisoners was far beyond imagination. Although many escaped, they were definitely not half.
Therefore, Wu Da just agreed lightly at this time, but some of the uninformed generals were excited when they heard the words.
At this point, Zhao Jiu didn't bother to say anything more and just stood up and turned around... He needed a good rest.
"Official!"
At this moment, Liu Yan suddenly stepped forward, pointed at the Taishi Nu who was still kneeling in the distance and asked, "How should we deal with this person?"
Zhao Jiu was startled for a moment, and then asked: "Did he hear what Bachelor Yu reported earlier?"
"No."
Zhao Jiu nodded, not taking it seriously: "Then put it back! Give it to Wanyan Wushu!"
Liu Yan nodded quickly, while Yelu Yujian remained silent.
Just as Zhao Guan's family was about to leave, Liu Yan pointed at the baskets on the ground and reminded hastily: "Guan family, what should we do with these?"
Zhao Jiu turned back to look at each other and spoke clearly: "Put it away for now... When the Hutuo River Floating Bridge is in hand tomorrow, the wounded of today's Jin Army will be cleaned up and these signs will be sent to Zhending City! The corpses can also be sent in.
After calculating the merits of the war, they were sent to the city and allowed to be buried by themselves."
It was rare for the generals to become awe-inspiring again.
Seeing that nothing happened, the Zhao Guan family finally took off their helmets, looked up to the sky and sighed, then walked back to Harulu on the other side of the Taiping River with their helmets in hand.
Before the sky completely darkened, another good news was delivered directly to Huolu City. It turned out that Han Shizhong's subordinates Cheng Min, Dong Xian, and Shaoyun were ordered to march towards the Hutuo River. On the way, they actually ran into Pu Suyue, the guard of the Hutuo River Floating Bridge Camp.
...The latter was beheaded on the spot, and then the Song army pursued and crushed the defeated army, easily captured the pontoon bridge, and sent cavalry across the river to investigate, and finally got a glimpse of the city.
Including Pu Suyue, on this day, the Song army had killed eight generals of ten thousand households, accounting for half of the sixteen ten thousand households of the Jin army in this battle.
Wushu of Shiyi, who had already arrived in Shiyi at this time, certainly didn't know about this. However, when it got dark, he only gathered a scattered group of less than 20,000 people.
Yan Onlun, He Shilie Taiyu, Yelu Mawu, Wulin Da Taiyu, and Pucha Huzhan are just five people!
At this time, the King of Jin and Wei still didn't understand that the brutality of this battle was far beyond imagination. The Song army killed and surrendered before the battle, which was definitely a terrifying figure!
The previous expectation of using a camp to meet the defeated troops and hinder the pursuing troops now seems to be a joke about being clever but being mistaken for cleverness!
I'm afraid it was because of that strange camp that there were such tragic casualties.
Of course, even so, Wu Shu estimated that 40,000 to 50,000 people would escape, and he could not give up on these defeated troops at this time... Wu Shu even did not dare to cry with these generals, for fear that it would affect morale.
However, just after we had some hot meals with these generals and explained their plans to head east tomorrow morning, gather their troops, and spread out across the river, before they could explain it properly, they suddenly heard a loud noise outside the camp. It turned out to be the Song Army, regardless of the darkness.
, chased directly along the camp.
At this moment, the small 20,000 troops and horses that had finally gathered in the camp exploded in an instant, and fled south, north, and east like headless flies... The only thing they did not go was to the west where the Song army came.
Wushu and the generals had no choice but to leave the camp separately and split up overnight according to the original plan, preparing to pack up their troops at night and flee eastward.
After leaving the camp, Wu Shu rode for a while and heard no movement of pursuers behind him. He raised his head and took off his mask. Only then did he realize that at some point, the rain had stopped and the evening breeze was blowing on his face.
It moved people's hearts. But when he looked back at his own camp, where there were still a few sparks of fire, and saw that there were still an unknown number of defeated troops gathered behind him, he felt like crying but did not dare to cry.
After a long pause, Wanyan Wushu raised his head and roared loudly toward the night sky.
Before the whistle stopped, he pulled down his mask and started galloping.
At the same time, Zhao Jiu went to sleep early in Huolu City... He had not slept so peacefully for a long time.
