Deep down in his heart, Ali had always been dismissive of Jin Wushu's rampant attitude, because this Jurchen general who had grown from being an Alixi to a captain of ten thousand men was a rare and prudent person in the Jin army... In his opinion
Come, the battlefield is ups and downs, small victories and small defeats are actually normal things. If you win, continue fighting and completely seize the victory; if you lose, start over and regain the victory; if you are surprised, you will draw a letter just for a reply.
He joined the army and whipped himself, and he indulged himself in such a high level of war, and his magnanimity was not as good as that of the new official family of Zhao Song under the dragon banner on the mountains on the other side!
Is such a gesture worthy of being compared with the passing of the second prince, Yi Li?
Of course, this is the typical wall effect and the benefit of being too far away to see clearly... As a junior brother in the battlefield, he was so nervous that he started making fun of the group, ruining the image that he had spent half a year to create.
I never thought that sitting high and far away could have this benefit?!
"Brother Qi, the golden man actually wants to seize the ship!"
"I saw it!"
Zhang Yongzhen, the commander who was in the middle of the river, was the commander of the large ship that broke the pontoon bridge. However, he was momentarily hesitant when he looked at the messy situation on the north side of the Huaihe River.
Let’s say that arrows were already raining down on the north side of the pontoon bridge in the river. Regardless of the range, weapons and lives, the Jin army summoned the Han troops in the army and drove them into the cold shallow water, forcing the latter to fire crossbows in the shallow water and fight with those who were doing this.
The supporting boats fired at each other to cover Meng'an Puluhun and led the Jurchen elites to the bridge to seize the boats in hand-to-hand combat.
And when the army led by Puluhun threw out the hook that had been prepared for it, all the Song army's boat divisions suddenly realized.
But when they woke up again, almost everyone was at a loss... Faced with the Jurchens' bullying and hand-to-hand combat, the first reaction of all the ships was to escape the battle quickly. However, the large and small ships crowded together for a while, and another seemingly powerless one was in front of them.
, which is actually entangled with twisted and flexible pontoon straps. How can it be turned around in a moment?
And the more anxious all the Song troops were, the harder it was to move.
Relatively speaking, the Jurchen soldiers led by Puluhun were not really that adventurous. They did not need to fight along the swaying pontoon bridge. In fact, after they captured several large and small ships, they quickly gave up on the pontoon bridge.
The route was changed to using hooks to connect the ships, and the densely packed ships themselves were used as the attack route... At the same time, after these ships were captured by the Jin army, they would be occupied by the Han army in the subsequent Jin army, and became the garrison point for the crossbowmen!
During the whole process, the Song Army's boatmen were like fish and shrimps that hit a fishing net. Although the Jin Army was on the water, the speed of invasion was like wildfire... Zhao Jiu was condescending and could not see the specific details, but he could see the Song Army.
They jumped into the water and abandoned their boats to escape. However, the boats that were originally scurrying around trying to escape were like grasshoppers that were beaten to death and stabilized in the hands of the Jin army.
Just two-quarters of an hour later, all the three entangled large ships were captured. A few small outer ships were able to escape, while the remaining small ships continued to be like headless flies between the three large ships, and the position of the encirclement to the west of the pontoon was chaotic.
Running around, it seems that it is impossible to escape bad luck.
At the same time, the Song Navy still had two-thirds of its strength, including the four large ships on the southern half of the Huaihe River, many small ships, and the reserve troops waiting upstream, but at this time there was no one upstream.
Instead, as the ship's flag kept waving on the shore, it chose to actively turn around and retreat. It seemed that it was going to re-arrange its formation upstream for follow-up response.
Seeing this, the drums of the Jin army were beating loudly, and Jin Wushu was laughing more and more proudly, while the mountains on the south bank of the Huaihe River were in chaos again... I don't know how many civil servants were surrounding Yang Yizhong there, and Wang Yuan couldn't ask more questions.
Ask them why they are not as good as the Jin army in water warfare? Didn't they say that the Jin people were Liaodong Tatars and were not good at water warfare?
Some people even insisted on giving a definite answer from the two of them, saying that if the pontoon bridge was destroyed, would it be difficult for the Jin army to cross the river today?
Even Zhao Jiu instantly fell down on the Taishi chair with sadness.
Of course, Zhao Guanjia, who is always knowledgeable no matter what, is definitely not as ignorant as the civil servants around him... In fact, he knows very well what is going on.
In a word, the Jin army has been winning consecutive battles for more than ten years, and its morale, equipment and military power are at its peak, so it dares to fight, fight and die; while the Song army has been defeated for several years, and its morale has been extremely low... even in Huainan.
The only established veteran of the Western Army in the camp, after following Liu Guangshi for most of China, he only dared to use boats against pontoons. Faced with the possibility of hand-to-hand combat, he did not dare to fight!
Facing the adventurous attack of the Jin army, their first reaction was not to organize a fight, but to think of escaping, as they clearly had the absolute power to counterattack. Moreover, they ran away unorganized and unstructured... which was equivalent to a rout. This made Zhou Chuan
They were out of control and hindered each other, but neither of them escaped.
what is this?
This is literally running away after hearing the news! Defeating without a fight!
This is where Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun were in trouble before. This is the reason why Liu Guangshi keeps running away. This is why the original owner of the body occupied by Zhao Jiu wanted to go to the southeast. This is why everyone advised Zhao Jiu not to waste time here.
The fundamental reason is that after Jingkang, the Song Army was completely defeated militarily, and the Jin Army was really at its peak.
However, a contradiction is that if you want to reverse this situation, someone has to stand up and be the first to fight back, right? Zhao Jiu has been preparing for so long in Huaihe. Although there are twists and turns, he is generally doing his best. So if now
If the Huaihe River does not exist, does the Yangtze River exist? If the Yangtze River does not exist, does it exist in Jiangxi and Zhejiang?
This is also another reason for Zhao Jiu's silence. What he said to Yang Yizhong before was really not a deliberate performance, but full of true feelings.
In the same way, on New Year's Eve, he faced Zhang Jun before crossing the Huaihe River, Zhang Jun after crossing the Huaihe River, Han Shizhong in Jingou Town, and Li Gang in Shuizibu Town... Sometimes Zhao Jiu himself couldn't explain clearly.
As for the saintly king, which one is true and which one is false? Or how much is true and how much is false?
The fighting in the Huaidu River has not stopped, and the wind is raging on Bagong Mountain. Just like the rookie commander-in-chief, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty became rampant when he gained power. Zhao Jiu, who had played the official role of Zhao and Song Dynasty for half a year, was also frustrated by an obvious defeat.
He was restless, even though he had not lost the overall situation and had extra trump cards.
"That place, bring the boat over!"
Just when the defeat was decided in the Huai River, Zhang Yongzhen, the prepared general standing on the bow of a so-called Song Army ship in the river, suddenly pointed to the broken pontoon bridge to the north and spoke.
"Brother Zhang Qi!"
The second largest officer on the ship, a captain named Hou Dan, rushed forward to persuade Su Rong. "I know you are capable, and the officials are watching, but this is not the time to show off! You are a Longxi man.
How can a hero show off on the water?"
"If I can show off on the shore, why don't I want to show off on the shore?" Zhang Yongzhen turned around and became furious. "Aren't the Jurchens stronger on the shore?! The water is already the most worthwhile place for us to fight with them!"
"That's not what you mean!" Hou Dan was extremely helpless. "The Jinren are also powerful on the water, and the defeat there has been determined. There are seventy or eighty people in a boat with sergeants and rowing men! There is no reason to lose their lives for this!"
"I won't let you die!" Zhang Yongzhen's face turned ferocious after hearing this. "Make a bend in the boat to the north and send me over. You can just go on your own!"
"That's not worth it!" Hearing this, a close sergeant from Longyou came forward and hugged Zhang Yongzhen's waist. "Brother Seven, I know you obeyed the officials that day, but even so, and
Why would you give up such a good life for a few strings of money and a few pieces of cloth given by the official?! If you were gone, wouldn't we, the bad guys from Longyou, have to be bullied in the army?"
"That's right." Hou Dan also hurriedly tried to persuade him. "The pontoon bridge was broken today after all, and many boats were lost. The Jin people used them, but that will be a matter of tomorrow. As the saying goes, "Being a monk for one day will hit the clock for one day."
Our deeds today have actually been accomplished. When we return to the water village, the Zhao Guan family will have nothing to say and will instead reward us!"
"You know nothing!"
Since Zhang Yongzhen had mixed up in the Western Army and was about to become a general, and was the leader of the trouble that day, he still had courage and prestige, so he just pushed hard, pushed the person holding him out, and then kicked him again
Kicked over.
Without waiting for others to say anything, Zhang Yongzhen actually pulled out the knife from his waist, then with one hand he pinched the captain Hou Dan beside him who had just spoken, and then relied on his outstanding personal bravery and strength on the bow of the ship.
He held the opponent down with all his strength and forcibly cut off one of his ears...
The ear was cut off, and the man just let go of his hand, but he pinched the ear with one hand and held the knife with the other. Then he raised his voice and spoke to the astonishment of the soldiers on the west side of the boat. The man's face was as ferocious as an evil ghost:
"I figured it out a long time ago! You just have to send me over today. If I die, you can live happily on your own. But if you don't send me away, it will be difficult for me and you to talk to me on this ship now!"
"Send him away!" Hou Dan got up in embarrassment, covering half of his face that was covered in blood. His face was so hideous that he couldn't even see the shape, but he gritted his teeth and said with all his strength. "He is going crazy and wants to die, and he still doesn't recognize it.
At any rate, why don’t you send him away and keep him here to cause harm to us?”
After saying this, Hou Dan also pulled out a knife with one hand from his waist, but Zhang Yongzhen only faced Zhang Yongzhen for a moment, then turned around angrily, picked up the white blade and scolded the rower.
Everyone had no choice but to let the boat circle around in the middle of the river and place it at the break of the pontoon. Zhang Yongzhen did not answer. He went to the heavy iron armor early and put on a pair of leather armor, but left the iron helmet.
On his head, he jumped down with the knife in hand, and headed straight to the center of the battle group in the north along the swaying pontoon bridge. He didn't know what he was going to do?
However, even so, there were seven or eight military men from Longyou who jumped off the boat in the same costume and followed Zhang Yongzhen northward to attack in the opposite direction.
After these people got off, the ship no longer hesitated, but immediately started rowing and turned around!
