Chapter 123: The boundary water is silent

With a "poof", He Xu climbed over the pontoon guardrail in a standard back-to-back posture and fell into the river.

Fortunately, Hexu's cronies are next to him, and this is the shore again, the water is not too deep, and between the random struggles with Hexu, several cronies who know how to water have already gone into the water and dragged Hexu out.

Where have the cronies brought by He Shu this time seen such a formation on weekdays? In the past, I followed Hexu, bullied the people in Xiongzhou City, and it was okay to be domineering, but at this time, when I encountered thousands of troops and horses fighting desperately, I had already been as weak as Hexu, and when I saw the big-headed soldiers with fierce faces, I didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear that one would not go well and give someone a knife.

More than a dozen people surrounded Hexu, and carried the old gentleman, who had just crossed the boundary river in the morning, based on Fanbang, and compared himself to "Zhuge Liang's reincarnation", to a bank and spread a blanket, so that the old gentleman could stabilize his mind. He Xu was served by a group of people who stroked their chests and beat their backs, and only then did they calm down from the fright and anger just now, raised their arms, pointed to the south bank with their fingers, and Nuno said, "Let's go...... Fast, fast...... Walk! ”

All the confidants believed in understanding, and one of them arched to Heshu's chest and whispered: "Don't worry, master, the little ones have already prepared." He heard that he was prepared, struggled to get up, and asked what he was prepared for, and the cronie bowed to a few people next to him, and a few people next to him stood up, identified their positions, and walked towards a muddy reed. After a while, a raft was brought out of the reeds, probably the one that these cronies didn't believe in and shouted, carrying and leaving behind. At this time, he was not afraid of scolding, and he generally pulled the raft out. The raft was obviously not new, and it was obviously hidden by He Xu's right-hand men. Although it is not large, there is no problem with more than ten people.

As soon as He Shu saw the raft, he suddenly picked up a second life, he hurriedly peeked at the Planter Dao, and saw that the Planter Dao was still standing on the rocks on the shore, so he asked his subordinates to drink together to stop the rout of the army, and set up a formation to defend against the enemy, and he had no time to take care of this place. He Xu was busy struggling to get up and get on the raft, and his cronies worked together, and more than a dozen people got on the raft silently.

He Shu was tired of lying on the raft, and his cronies were really sharing weal and sorrow with He Shu at this time, helping each other in the same boat, surrounding He Shu in the middle, and the people on the periphery worked together to row the raft like flying, and after a while, it was far away from the shore and drifted away to the south bank.

There is also a chaos in the middle of the river, and the two pontoon bridges are already crowded with people, scrambling one by one. The strong ones squeezed forward, the weak and thin ones were crowded forward, and the people in the middle of the bridge pushed hard, and the people on the side of the bridge were only afraid of falling into the water and drilling into the middle. The raft of the northern crossing had already marched into the river, and when they saw that the defeated army on the north bank wanted to cross the river like crazy, where did the soldiers on the raft dare to cross the river to the north bank? Hurriedly turned around and rowed south.

The raft was full of people, and there were even people floating in the water on the side of the raft, dragging the raft in their hands. As long as it's south, it's better than dying on the north shore.

The soldiers who were more self-assured of the water and fled south swam across the river, with their own strength to float and sink in the rushing river, and swam to the south bank with difficulty.

The soldiers who had been squeezed out of the pontoon were struggling in the water, helplessly trying to grab the raft, but they were kicked away by the people standing on the raft, so they had to swim forward by the ropes of the pontoon.

The soldiers, who did not know how to be watery and did not catch anything, were immediately swept downstream by the river. The river floats and sinks, either the dead bodies of Song soldiers or the people who are still struggling to fall into the water, and there are more clothes and hats floating on the water.

The center of the planter was in a hurry, and on the south bank of the river, he had already seen it from afar, and the chaotic situation was clear to him, an outsider. If Xin Xingzong could stop in the defensive position of the Song army, he would never step into the two armies of South Vietnam, and reflexively fight a decisive battle with Xiao Gan, with the numerical advantage of the Song army, he would definitely be able to resist Xiao Gan's troops; Jiao Anjie on the south bank of the river led 7,000 men and horses to the north bank, first merged with the seed master road, defeated Yelu Dashi, and then attacked Xiao Gan with Xin Xingzong, which will surely cause the Liao army to be defeated. Although the Song army had few cavalry soldiers and could not pursue the Liao army, it could also greatly damage the vitality of the Liao army, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to go north and overcome Yanjing. These truths will be understood by an ordinary soldier, let alone a military attache who has led the army for many years.

It's a pity that Xin Xingzong was too selfish and recklessly messed up the situation. Nayelu Dashi is worthy of being a person with great wisdom and vision among the Khitan people, just at a glance, it is convenient to make a decision in the fleeting opportunity, and use the strategy of chaotic enemy to bring back the numerical disadvantage of the mixed soldiers of the four roads, but let the Song army itself mess up, and now let Sun Wu regenerate, it is difficult to reverse the situation.

Seeing that the situation has been decided, the men and horses on both sides have all been revealed, and no more accidents have happened, the Song army on the north bank has lost its heart, and the eldest brother is still staying on the north bank, standing in a dangerous place, and there is no way to cross the river. Even if he can cross the river, I am afraid that he will not leave the soldiers to cross the river alone. It seems that he is the only one who has gone to pick it up himself.

The planter ordered his subordinates to find more than a dozen coarse hemp cords and move them to a large raft, which was made by the planter yesterday by ordering someone to cut down wood for urgent use, and it really came in handy today.

The planter ordered people to drive ten wooden stakes into the ground on the shore, tie one end of the hemp rope to the stake, throw the rest of the hemp rope on the raft, and personally led more than ten pro-soldiers to ride the raft and row to the north bank while putting the hemp rope.

The 4,000 people of the East Route Army, who were still fighting with the Liao army on the north bank of the river, were also carried by Xin Xingzong's defeated army and fled to the shore.

The two forces of Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan have now been merged, and they are in full swing, and the north shore has completely become a one-sided situation. The Liao army swept away the knots of hiding and sticking to no battle for these days, riding on horses, waving knives and guns, slashing back and forth, and the armor and blades on their bodies were already stained with blood, only to kill the Song army's blood flowed like a river, without resistance, fleeing and retreating, and was always surrounded on the north bank of the river.

The Liao army was not in a hurry to rush to the shore, but used killing to create greater panic to drive the Song army into the water of the Jiehe River, which was silently swept away by the Jiehe River and floated downstream.

The Song army, which was hopeless under the iron hooves and swords and guns of the Liao army, jumped into the river one by one like ducks driven into the river, and all the swords, guns and blades were discarded on the ground, and the iron armor was too late to be unraveled, and was pushed into the water by the Song army surging from behind. The churning and rushing river immediately swept the Song army in the water downstream, but at a distance of more than ten zhang, there was no longer a figure of desperate struggle.
