Chapter 842

These Song Jun, who were still at the ferry, were stunned at first, but quickly reacted, and hurriedly untied the armor on their bodies, and the organic ones simply picked up the weapons, and directly cut the ties and belts of the armor, and soon more and more people followed suit.

Soon, the three or four hundred soldiers, after disarming themselves in less than twenty breaths, and throwing all these weapons and armor into the river, picked up the planks scattered at the ferry and walked towards the river.

Although many soldiers did not know the nature of water, there were also many who knew the nature of water, and they carried each other and swam towards the center of the river with all their might.

And Liang Shou and his own soldiers are the last batch of water, thanks to God, but also thanks to themselves, the river water in this section of the river is very gentle, plus it is a hot summer, and the river water will not make people too hypothermic.

There were no big waves on the gentle surface of the river, so that the landlubbers holding planks or barrels would not panic, and with the loud encouragement of the robes who knew the water around them, the three or four hundred people miraculously did not fall behind, and they all swam towards the center of the river at a slow but determined pace.

At this moment, countless Western Xia cavalry poured into the ferry like a torrent, but they were blocked by the war horses abandoned by the Song army on the shore, and the extremely angry Western Xia cavalry slashed and killed dozens of war horses, which dispersed these beasts blocking the road.

However, when they rushed to the dock, it was already empty, but soon someone with sharp eyes saw a human body floating on the surface of the river.

"Shoot them!" The general led shouted, picked up the hard bow, opened the bow and arrows, and shot hard, the Xixia cavalry around him did the same, and soon, the arrow rain poured on the river like a heavy rain, and there were ripples in the center of the circle.

And the most fortunate thing is that at this moment, because Liang Shou reacted in time, they had already swam a lot of distance, and most of the arrows could only be weakly pierced into the river.

Only a few arrows thrown by a hard bow will fall to their left and right. Even though there were not many people who could use a hard bow, nearly a hundred sharp arrows still fell into the crowd.

Loud and screaming rang out again and again, and at least a dozen soldiers were injured. And on the clear river, blood splattered out......

Fortunately, at this time, the ferry boat had finally arrived to meet them, and the sailors who were familiar with the water in the ferry jumped into the water one after another, and rescued the soldiers who were injured and let go and almost sank to the bottom of the river.

Ropes were thrown down from the ferry, and as long as the soldiers floating on the water grabbed the ropes, they swam towards the ferry with the pull of the ropes......

The second round of arrows rained down again, only this time, only a few people were injured, and they were quickly rescued by the sailors on the ferry.

"General, General don't have to shoot anymore...... Those Song dogs are out of our range......"

Commanding the army, Mo Kuntie, who had been running around for days, blushed and put away the hard bow in his hand stupidly. On the wharf and river beach on the shore, there are thousands of war horses scattered, presumably left by these Song people, but there is no ferry.

"Send the order down, let them continue north, see where there are still boats to cross the river, the Song army retreated very panicked, the horses were thrown here, as long as we can find the boats, we can cross the river and exterminate this gang of Song thieves."

"In addition, immediately send news to Xingqing Mansion and the old general Weiming, saying that we have grabbed the tail of the Song army's partial division......"

After issuing a series of military orders, he ordered the soldiers to collect these horses, even if they failed to kill these Song troops, but they could be regarded as some trophies......

On the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Mao and Luo Ping stood anxiously on the bank, looking into the middle of the river, when the smoke and dust were billowing, the Western Xia cavalry was about to appear, and the ferry was only more than halfway through, Li Mao and Luo Ping thought that Liang Shou and the remaining three or four hundred Song soldiers were going to be cold.

When he was in a mood of chagrin and remorse, he saw through the binoculars that the Song soldiers who stayed on the dock threw away their armor one by one, and even threw their life-saving weapons into the river.

Li Mao and Luo Ping were stunned on the spot, what is this, what does Liang Shou want this gang of big Song Huben to do, do you want to take advantage of the fact that the Western Xia army has not yet arrived, and is ready to take off the vest and put on makeup?

But the problem is that these people are all big Song Huben, and few people understand the party's language, so they can't get mixed up at all...... Next, after seeing the Song soldiers who had lost their armor and jumped into the river with wooden planks, Li Mao and Luo Ping couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

I couldn't wait to rush over and personally praise Liang Shou, but soon, the Western Xia army rushed to the riverbank, and when they shot arrows into the river, their hearts sank again.

They kept their eyes on the river nervously, watching the ferries stop on the river, and then began to slowly move towards the east bank, until they reached the shore, and saw the drenched soldiers jumping ashore with smiles on their faces, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about General Liang? Why didn't you see him. Li Mao searched for a long time, but he didn't see Liang Shou, so he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and asked with a soldier who had just landed.

"General Li, Liang is here, he has an injury on his leg, and it is inconvenient to move, so I ask the general to forgive me." At this time, Liang Shou walked out of the cabin with the support of his own soldiers.

It turned out that when the first batch of arrows fell, Liang Shou was very hard to get an arrow, right in the calf, fortunately, this was very tough, holding the plank, and under the support of the soldiers around him, he insisted on swimming to the side of the ferry.

In the end, except for two soldiers, one was shot in the neck, and one was shot in the waist and abdomen, and died before treatment, the injuries of the rest of the wounded were not serious.

"What do we do now? Our biggest problem now is that there are not enough war horses, only more than 2,300 horses, and we have a total of 3,000 soldiers. This means that some of the soldiers need to walk ......"

"The Tangut people have already discovered our whereabouts, and I believe that it won't be long before they will find a way to send troops to chase us." After changing into a pair of dry clothes, Liang Shou sat down with Li Mao, Luo Ping, and the Zheng Tongzhi who came in a hurry and began to discuss the next steps.

"Why don't you rush back to the camp to report to the general and ask him to come and answer?" Zheng Tongzhi opened his mouth and suggested.

"The response is for sure, the sooner the better, as long as we can join forces together, we will be able to have enough mounts to retreat to White Rock City at a faster speed." Li Mao nodded and replied.

"Then we'll just start south again, and although the walk is a little slower, it's better than staying here."
