Chapter 127: Zhao Ji's Death II (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)

April 25, 8th year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty.

Huazhou, 10,000 years of new embankment.

"The water is coming! The water is coming! The water is coming......"

The panicked and noisy shouts sounded like a mountain and a tsunami, and from the 10,000-year-old new embankment on the side of the Yellow River, it really swept to the Song army camp ten miles away from the dam!

On the line of the Wannian New Embankment near the Sanshan Pontoon Bridge and Huazhou City, the Jin and Song armies set up a battlefield with a frontal width of more than ten miles. About 50,000 Jin soldiers (including Alixi) occupied the top and south slope of the new embankment for 10,000 years, and also took soil on the spot (obtained the soil from the embankment), erected two low horse breeding walls, and dug two trenches on the slope that were neither deep nor shallow.

The Song army, on the other hand, set up a battle formation under the embankment. Although the situation was extremely critical, Li Gang, Seed Master Dao and others still went down to the hard village step by step, and then set up a large formation - according to the Pingrong Wanquan Formation Diagram written by Zhao Ji himself, and then slowly moved to the bottom of the Wannian New Embankment, and then began to draw the elite and launch wave after wave of upward attacks.

For many days in a row, at least 120,000 Song troops formed a formation and came out of the camp, approached the embankment, and launched a fierce attack. To tell the truth, the battle of the 10,000-year-old Xindi organized by Li Gang and Seed Master Dao really reached the point where the enemy was impressed!

They coerced, rewarded, and used official family recruitment to motivate people, which really forced out the strength of hundreds of thousands of Song troops.

But...... Still can't do it!

Because now it is not the Jin soldiers attacking and the Song army defending. Instead, the Song army attacked and the Jin soldiers defended ....... The high and dangerous Jin soldiers took advantage of the geographical advantage, and their original combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the attacking Song army. The two sides set up a confrontation on the plain, and there will be no suspense about the outcome or defeat, not to mention that the Jin soldiers are still in danger?

And what made Li Gang, Chongshi Dao, Yao Gu and others want to cry without tears is ...... They know they can't beat it, but they have to fight!

Because Kaifeng is behind you, and the Yellow River is right in front of you!

Standing on a high place, you can now see that a U-shaped gap has been dug at the top of the dam of the 10,000-year-old new embankment, about dozens of zhang wide...... And you can also see that there are many Han people driven by gold thieves, Ding Zhuang, who continues to dig day and night!

Anyone who knows a little about water conservancy knows that once the Yellow River rises to the point where the gap is, it gushes out of the gap...... Then the water of the Yellow River will continue to wash the gap, taking away the soil from the gap, making the gap bigger and bigger until the dam bursts!

And now it is the flood season of the Yellow River, the upstream water is abundant, and the water level is rising every day!

So the 10,000-year-old new embankment is already in danger!

And to avoid the dam failure and flooding Kaifeng Province, the only way to seize the dam is to desperately seize the dam...... At least the Kaifeng soldiers and Kaifeng Minzhuang under Li Gang have already fought hard, and their beloved relatives and friends are all in Kaifeng Mansion!

Gotta fight hard!

But no matter how hard they fight, they can't fight the golden soldiers...... The Jin soldiers of this era were the ace warriors who fought invincible opponents all over East Asia. If you gather the elite combat power of the Song army, and then use the favorable terrain to deal with a small number of Jin soldiers, there is a possibility of victory.

But now the desperate Bianliangzi are just craftsmen and small traders, where will they fight?

Their wave after wave of impact is just giving people away!

Most of the corpses of Song Junerlang piled up under the Wannian New Embankment are from Kaifeng Mansion......

As for the Western Army, which has strong combat effectiveness...... Their family members are not in Kaifeng Mansion, they are just fighting for bounty, how hard can they fight?

If he gets the bounty, he also has to have a life flower!

So at the beginning, these soldiers worked harder, but later on, the more money they get, the less momentum they have to fight......

And on April 25, the continuous consumption and rewards finally brought about a qualitative change in the situation on the battlefield of Wannian Xindi.

When a wave of the Song army's offensive collapsed, the Jin soldiers suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack!

Moreover, the Jin soldiers who counterattacked also shouted in Chinese while charging: "The big water is coming!" The water is coming! ”

This shout instantly detonated the biggest fear in the hearts of Song Jun on the battlefield!

Coupled with the continuous bloody battles for many days, the Song army was exhausted and suffered heavy losses (many people had already been filled), and their morale had long fallen to the brink of collapse.

Therefore, under the sudden attack of tens of thousands of Jin soldiers and cavalry, the Song army was defeated!

The defeat is like a mountain...... Li Gang, who was still standing on a high platform, looked around, and there were all large groups of defeated soldiers. No matter how Li Gang and the personal soldiers of the Seed Master Dao stopped them, they all just ran wildly. While running, he shouted: "The water is coming!" The flood is coming......"

Some of the defeated soldiers ran to the west, some to the east, and some ran to Kaifeng Mansion in the south, running everywhere, relying on a small number of personal soldiers of the family army, they could not stop it at all. Moreover, most of the Tai Lieutenants who followed Li Gang and Seed Master Dao into battle were running fast under the escort of their own soldiers!

Liu Yanqing was almost the first lieutenant to start escaping, and he fled without looking back under the escort of his Qin cavalry, while his infantry followed behind with scolding, and lost his armor and equipment.

Yao Gu's side seems to be Yao Gu's adopted son Yao Pingzhong, Li Gang remembers that he is quite a brave general! Every wave of Yao Jiajun's previous rush was led by him and a tiger general named Wang De.

Unexpectedly, when he ran away now, this Yao Pingzhong also rushed to the front......

Li Gang sighed, already a little heartbroken.

More than 200,000 troops were crushed!

He Li Gang...... I'm sorry for the Great Song Dynasty, I'm sorry for the official family!

Thinking of this, Li Gang was about to touch his sword, and he wanted to wipe his neck!

Kong said that he became benevolent, and Meng said that he took righteousness.

Now, Li Gang is about to become benevolent!

But what about the sword?

Where did the sword go?

After touching it, Li Gang found that his sword was gone?

"Xianggong, are you looking for a sword?"

The one who spoke was a nephew of the Seed Master Dao, named Chong Wei, who was sent by the Seed Master Dao to protect Li Gang, and was now talking to Li Gang with Li Gang's sword in his hand.

"Yes, yes......" Li Gang stretched out his hand to ask for the sword, but he didn't guard against it, and he suddenly made a move, grabbed his wrist and pulled it into his arms, and Li Gang was dragged by him before he could stabilize it.

This is not the end, Chong Wei took advantage of Li Gang's lack of reaction, bent down and pressed his right shoulder against Li Gang's abdomen, then held his ass with one hand, put him on his shoulder, and then jumped off the high platform, and threw Li Gang onto a war horse that had been prepared a long time ago.

After finishing the matter, Chong Xun also beckoned left and right: "Get on the horse and protect Li Xianggong to escape!" ”

Someone on the left and right asked, "Where to flee?" ”

Chong Wei deliberately raised his voice and said loudly: "Flee to the southeast and go to Xingren Mansion to defend the official's house!" ”

By the way, there are also officials! Li Gang also thought of Zhao Ji, who went out of the city to fight against Jin, as if he was going to Xingren Mansion...... It's just that now it's time to do it? Don't bump into the gold thief heading south halfway!

At that moment, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the already cloudy sky, followed by a burst of rolling thunder, and then a stream of rain falling from the sky.

Maybe the heavens didn't want to see the more than 200,000 Song troops collapsed, and they couldn't help but cry like rain!

......

"Official, it's raining......"

Taiwei Gao Yu, who dragged a sick body to accompany Zhao Ji on the expedition, saw that the raindrops kept falling in the air, so he stepped forward, approached Zhao Kai's side, and said in a low voice: "Official, it's not too early, there is a town water temple on the north bank of the Wuzhang River in front, which is quite large, and the outer wall is also very strong, so it is better to go there to rest." ”

Zhao Ji turned his head and looked behind him, and there were countless gorgeous banners in his eyes, and more than 10,000 cavalry foot soldiers followed. These cavalry were followed by carts full of mules and horses and men in paper armor and chariots. The pro-conscription of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has not yet opened the boundary of Kaifeng Prefecture, and is still in the territory of Dongming County, to which Kaifeng Mansion belongs.

"Okay!" When Zhao Ji saw those flags, he remembered that many of his people were wearing paper armor...... These can't be rained, so he nodded and agreed to Gao Yu's suggestion.

......

The first shift, the second shift at 12 noon!
