Because the waterway was blocked and the way was blocked, Wu Xi, the main general on the flagship of the Song Army's naval division, realized something instantly after falling, and immediately got up and shouted: "The waterway is blocked, pass on the general's order, send the flag to the ships, the rear team becomes the front team, the front team becomes the rear team, turn around and return!" ”

In the series of boat collisions just now, many officers and soldiers of the Song Army's naval division fell into the river, and the officers and soldiers on each boat quickly organized rescue, but Wu Xi's order made it difficult for other generals and officials to accept, and there were so many comrades who fell into the water who were soaked in the water, regardless of them?

"General, there are still many people who have not been saved, why do you turn around immediately?" One lieutenant general questioned it.

Wu Xi said angrily: "The waterway is blocked, it must be that the water village has been captured by the cadre army, if you don't retreat at this time, do you all have to wait to be captured by the cadre army?" Hurry back! ”

At this time, a large number of war drums were heard from both sides of the river, and I saw countless cadres and soldiers coming out of the woods on the east bank, and a large number of flags were waving; Looking at the west bank again, the flag of the Song army in the water village has been lowered, and the banner of the cadre army has been raised, and countless cadres and soldiers will appear to smash the wall and arrow tower of the water village.

"Retreat, retreat!"

The warships of the Song Army's naval division at the rear also found that there were enemy troops on both sides of the strait at this time, and immediately turned around and prepared to evacuate, but soon the warships could not move and were still stopped by iron cables.

On the river again, a series of collisions were heard, and many boats rear-ended, and many Song soldiers on board fell.

Zhao Junsheng walked to the bank of the river and raised his hand, the sound of war drums stopped, and the shouting of killing stopped.

"Hua Xiong, go and shout and make them surrender, or let them all sink to the bottom of the river to feed the fish!"

"No!"

Hua Xiong agreed, stepped forward and shouted: "Listen to the soldiers of the Song Army, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, if you want to live, you can only put down your weapons and surrender ashore in a small boat, otherwise you can only die in the belly of the fish!" ”

"Give you a moment to think about it, if you don't surrender under the white flag within a moment, our army will send you to see the king of Hades!"

There was a great chaos on the warships of the Song Army's naval division on the river, the officers and soldiers were panicked, and the generals and colonels were almost unable to control the situation.

Wu Xi, the commander of the Song Army's naval division, knew that the channel had to be dredged as quickly as possible at this time, and he found that there was a thick iron cable under the water that blocked the channel, and the iron cable had to be cut off to pass, but such a thick iron cable, and in the water, how could it be easily cut?

Time passed little by little, and in such a chaotic situation, it became a problem for Wu Xi's military orders to be conveyed and implemented, and when his orders were transmitted to the front, the ships at the front just sent people into the water to cut the iron cables, and the time given by the cadres had already passed.

The attack began, and the camouflage of heavy equipment such as trebuchets, stone generators, and bed crossbows in the woods on the shore was lifted, and stone bullets were placed in the net pockets of trebuchets and catapults.

"Launch—"

Stone bullets rose into the sky and smashed at the boats on the river, "bang bang bang ······" The stone bullets fell on the ship and smashed out big holes, and the deck made of wooden planks could not withstand the attack of the stone bullets at all, and the debris flew everywhere, and the officers and men of the Song Army's naval division suffered heavy casualties, and screams of various sizes came and went.

"Shoot the arrows—"

"Whoosh ······" The cadres on the shore shot a large number of arrows, and wave after wave of arrows fell like raindrops.

The Song army on the ship was hit by arrows one after another.

The bed crossbow is powerful, and the thick crossbow arrow is so powerful that it can even pierce a ship through a pair.

All kinds of attacks fell on the warships of the Song army's naval division without stopping, and the Song officers and soldiers were like being in hell, they could only be beaten, and they had no power to fight back.

"Surrender, surrender, surrender with a white flag!" One of the buildings will hide in the cabin and shout.

After the white flag was flown out, the cadres on the shore immediately discovered it.

"Your Majesty, there are more than a dozen ships with white flags!"

Zhao Junsheng saw that sure enough, more than a dozen ships had raised white flags, and he immediately ordered: "Let go of these dozen ships, don't attack them, let them put down their boats and let the generals go ashore and surrender!" ”

"No!"

The other generals of the Song Army's naval divisions also surrendered when they saw that someone had surrendered, and that they were soon no longer under attack.

On the flagship, Wu Xi, who was embarrassed, looked at the ships around him with a pale face and constantly waving white flags, and he scolded angrily: "Bastards, they are all a group of bastards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is rumored that my generals will lean towards the shore, let's fight back on the shore!" ”

"General, no, this river ship can't dock at all, once it runs aground, it will be waiting for death! Now that the tide is over, the other ships have surrendered, and if we don't, we will definitely be sunk! One of the soldiers hurriedly persuaded.

Other cronies and entourage also dissuaded Wu Xi and asked Wu Xi to surrender first, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood.

Wu Xi sat on the deck in a decadent manner and threw away his sword, waving his hand weakly: "Hit the white flag!" ”

The surrounding generals and entourages were overjoyed, as if they had escaped death, and immediately someone went to raise the white flag.

When Zhao Junsheng saw it, he laughed and said, "Okay, the flagship has also surrendered!" Someone, give the order to stop the attack! Hua Xiong, put a flag on the water village on the other side, and let Sima Chuzhi be ready to receive prisoners and warships! ”

"No!"

The attack stopped, and the banks of the river were full of cadres and soldiers armed with sharp swords and bows and arrows, and all the cadres and soldiers of the opposite water village were also heavily guarded.

Small sampans and boats were lowered on the warships of the Song army's naval divisions, and the soldiers and generals rowed to the shore in small boats.

After the case was settled, the Song officers and soldiers walked down from the boat one by one with their hands raised.

A cadre general stepped forward and shouted: "All the generals and officers of the surrendered army are listening, holding their heads in their hands, lining up to come up one after another, and if they still have weapons, daggers and other weapons on their bodies, they will be thrown down immediately, if they are investigated and punished and still have weapons on their bodies, they will be killed on the spot!" ”

The Song officers and soldiers who surrendered had already left their weapons, bows and arrows on the warships, and the weapons on their bodies were only daggers and knives.

A cordon has been set up on the shore, but there are a few exits for the surrendered generals to come out, but at the exit they are subject to a body search, and only after the search is completed are they allowed to go out, and then they will gather at the designated place.

After three hours of busy work, the surrender was completed, and the surrender was divided into two parts to take care of, one part in Shuizhai and the other part on the east bank of Hanshui.

On the morning of the next day, under the order of Zhao Junsheng, Sima Chuzhi sent a ship to send the surrendered troops and generals from Shuizhai on the other side to the east bank.

At noon, Zhao Junsheng had just finished inspecting the prisoner camp when a royal guard came to report: "Your Majesty, General Xu Yibao has arrived and is in the Taishou Mansion!" ”

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Go and bring him here!" ”

"No!"

Soon, Xu Yibao was taken to the prisoner camp by the imperial guards to meet Zhao Junsheng.

"Minister Xu Yibao to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed!"

Zhao Junsheng stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "General Xu came very quickly, didn't he have much rest on the way?" ”

Xu Yibao hugged his fists and said: "As soon as Your Majesty's will arrives, the minister will not dare to delay, and he will come day and night!" ”

"That's it!" Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, and said to Xu Yibao: "This person will definitely not be able to rest if he doesn't rest, you go to rest first today, and come back to see me in the evening!" Someone, prepare a camp tent for General Xu in this camp, and prepare some wine and food for him to eat and sleep well! ”

"No!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At dusk, Xu Yibao, who had slept all afternoon, woke up, he regained his spirits, and saw Zhao Junsheng after dinner.

Zhao Junsheng beckoned to him and asked, "Have you slept well?" ”

"Thank you for Your Majesty's care, the minister is full of energy, and he has eaten and drunk enough!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said, "That's good!" The people in this camp are all officers and soldiers of the Song Army's naval division, a total of more than 2,600 people! Wu Xi, you're no stranger, right? ”

"He? This guy turned into ashes and the minister also knew, the relationship between the minister and him was not bad before, and he was the one who led the fleet to Hanjin Pass to attack the water village defended by the minister a few days ago! ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Not bad! Yesterday morning, he led the fleet back to Hanshui Water Village, and was ambushed by us in advance, blocking the channel and cutting off his retreat, and Wu Xi had to surrender in the hopeless way of escape! The formation of this naval division is still complete, the damage to the warships is not serious, and most of the warships are still intact, I hope to make this naval division available to me and make them loyal to me, so I sent a fast horse to let you come over, just to let you rectify these captives and surrender troops, so that they can recover their combat strength as soon as possible, and more importantly, to ensure their loyalty, not to let them rebel again, I wonder if you can share my worries? ”

Xu Yibao immediately bowed down: "Your Majesty trusts Weichen and entrusts Weichen with such a heavy responsibility, and Weichen will do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”

"Very good, you Xu Yibao do things, I can rest assured!"

Xu Yibao said again: "Your Majesty, if you want this sailor to be completely loyal to Your Majesty and Daqian, Wu Xi is a very important person, and the minister wants to ask Your Majesty to allow Weichen to persuade him to serve Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Yes, now that you are the supreme commander of these people, you can make any decision without asking me for instructions!" ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust!"

Early the next morning, when Zhao Junsheng had just finished his morning exercise, Li Bao came to report and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Yibao took Wu Xi to ask to see him, and I am waiting outside the Taishou Mansion!" ”

"It seems that Xu Yibao is only afraid that he has really persuaded Wu Xi to let them in!"

When Zhao Junsheng changed into clean clothes and came to his lobby, Xu Yibao and Wu Xi were waiting in the lobby, and when they saw him walk in, Xu Yibao immediately bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng walked to the main seat, sat down and raised his hand: "No courtesy!" ”

Xu Yibao said: "Your Majesty, the minister has fulfilled his mission and has persuaded General Wu to surrender to His Majesty!" ”

Wu Xi hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, regardless of my humble background Wu Xi, I Wu Xi is willing to serve Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng got up and helped Wu Xi up and said with a laugh: "With General Wu joining the water division and assisting General Xu, my great water division is like a tiger with wings!" Xu Yibao and Wu Xi listened to the order, and I appointed the two of you as General Hengshui and General Hengjiang respectively, responsible for commanding the sailors of my cadres in the Yangtze River! ”

The two immediately bowed down again: "Minister's decree, thank you Lord Longen!" ”
