Chapter 0723: The Flood is Surging

The nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses were almost all led by Cao Bin's cronies.

At the critical moment, they didn't care about Li Jilong's order at all, and ran east with people.

In order to run faster, except for the war horses, they even took off the foot armor on their bodies, threw them away, and traveled lightly, trying to escape from this place as soon as possible.

These people are not afraid of being treated like rebels at all.

There is a saying that the law does not hold the public accountable.

In the face of 100,000 forbidden soldiers and horses, Zhao Guangyi couldn't get down to that killer.

Not only because they are elites, but also because they are all the children of the powerful of the Jiangmen, if Zhao Guangyi really raised the butcher's knife, those Jiangmen probably wouldn't mind rebelling.

Anyway, the dragon robe can be draped on Zhao Kuangyin's body, and they can also be draped on others.

For example, Yang Yansi, the tiger marquis in the northwest, has the potential to be a real dragon.

In addition to this, there is another reason why these people are not afraid of being taken as rebels.

That is, when Cao Bin told them to run away in danger, he also told them a promise by the way.

If the Great Song Dynasty had no place for them, then Yang Qi was willing to accept them.

What kind of life the warriors live in the northwest and what status they have, these forbidden army soldiers are clear in their hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the basic generals among them were all generals, they would have been extremely wealthy. Otherwise, they would have voted for Yang Qi a long time ago.

Nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses ran away.

Li Jilong and the others also panicked.

With their overseers, they began to kill the soldiers who were ready to flee with them, while constantly restraining the soldiers and horses under their command.

Although Li Fang and Zhang Qixian are Wenchen, both of them are not weak in their skills.

One person holds a sword, and the other holds a stick, which is quite a bit of a Confucian general.

"Those who shake the hearts of the army will be decided!"

Li Fang held a long sword in his hand and hacked to death a forbidden soldier who tried to escape, and roared coldly.

Zhang Qixian's long stick swept and defended in his mouth: "Don't listen to the thieves' gossip to confuse the public, the ground moving here is the turning of the earth dragon, and it has nothing to do with the flood." ”

Zhang Qixian's voice fell, and he found that the soldiers were all stunned.

One by one, they looked behind Zhang Qixian.

Zhang Qixian and the three of them heard the rumble getting closer and closer, and looked at the soldiers' eyes.

Stunned!

They saw a scene they would never forget.

The raging flood rushed down, carrying with it a deafening roar and a momentum that destroyed everything.

All the trees, cows, horses, etc., that stood in front of the flood were swallowed up by the flood in an instant.

Cows, sheep, and trees rolled at the head of the waves, and they were submerged in the flood.

"Goo-toot!"

Li Jilong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then roared hoarsely.

"Run!"

"Run!"

"Run!"

“……”

This overwhelming fear of death, given by nature, transcends all else.

The Janissaries roared, wailed, and roared and began to run out.

However, it was already too late.

Human power is fragile in the face of nature.

The flood roared by, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who were running on the ground were like ants fighting against heaven and earth, easily devoured.

The majestic and mighty Great Song Forbidden Army was so easily submerged by the flood.

Roars, wails, roars?

Nope.

Nothing else could be heard except the crashing of the flood.

Even if there were, it was muffled by the sound of the flood.

The Liao people of Shuncheng, who had witnessed all this, had already widened their frightened eyes and covered their mouths.

All those who see this scene can clearly feel how vulnerable human beings are in the face of the forces of nature.

Shuncheng.

There was nothing but the half-cut wall that was exposed beyond the surface of the flood, and the people on it.

On the small hill three miles away from Shuncheng, the soldiers of the forbidden army who had escaped first looked at this scene with red eyes.

"Goodo......"

Someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his legs trembled, and asked the leading general in horror, "General...... We...... We...... Shall we ...... What to do......"

With tears in his eyes, the leading general tilted his head back and looked at the sky, roaring in a low voice like a beast.

Zhao Guangyi...... Damn ......"

None of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army refuted the words of the leading general.

Because everyone knows very well in their hearts that if Zhao Guangyi didn't listen to Cao Bin's advice and insisted on marching, I am afraid it would not have caused this kind of tragedy.

"Puff~"

Someone immediately fell to his knees and screamed with tears streaming down his face.

"Nearly 600,000 brothers!"

"Nearly 600,000 brothers are gone!"

“……”

Grief can easily infect these heartache-stricken Praetorian soldiers.

For a moment, the cries became one.

That's nearly 600,000 people, living people.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Why...... Why is this happening......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

In the crying, they seemed to see the families of millions of soldiers of the forbidden army, wailing and crying.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

A cough came from the mud washed away by the flood.

Then I saw a figure emerge from the muddy water.

The sound of coughing interrupted the crying of the Praetorian soldiers.

Their crimson gazes fell on the figure emerging from the muddy water at the same time.

Muddy water covered their bodies, but the Janissaries could still tell who they were.

Because their clothes are a very unique group of people in the forbidden army.

A general, two civil servants, and a group of guards, as well as a prison guard.

"You Qiuba, you haven't come here to carry us up."

Some of the prison guards roared angrily after seeing the many soldiers of the forbidden army on the hills.

In an instant, the eyes of the soldiers of the forbidden army turned even redder.

"General!!"

Someone whispered in the ear of the leading general.

Immediately afterwards, one after another soldiers of the forbidden army stood up and stood beside the leading general.

The prisoners, who were covered in mud, didn't see the form clearly at all, and were still shouting loudly, mixed with some scolding.

Li Fang, Zhang Qixian and Li Jilong, who wiped the sludge in front of them, saw the form clearly.

They shouted at the overseer in unison, "Shut up! ”

However, it was all over.

Faced with this group of culprits who led their brothers into the grave, how could they hold back the anger in their hearts.

"Kill them! Funeral for the dead brothers! ”

Immediately, someone took the lead and jumped into the mud pit, and then there were soldiers of the forbidden army who kept jumping into the mud pit.

"You're a rebellion!"

"If you have something to say, it's good to say! If you have something to say, it's good to say! ”

"It's not our fault...... Ah......h

“……”

"Grandpa, we were wrong...... Ah......h

“……”

From the initial toughness, to the final plea for mercy, it lasted less than a quarter of an hour.

"The Liao army is coming!"

Some of the scouts kept crawling on the ground and listened to the movement, and when they heard the sound of ten thousand horses galloping, they began to warn.

The leading general, with a cold face, gritted his teeth and said, "Run!" ”

"Where to go?"

"Go to the northwest to find Huhou's men and horses. Lao Tzu only worked for Huhou in this life, and others are not worthy of Lao Tzu's life for him. He doesn't take the lives of his brothers seriously, and Lao Tzu gives him his life, which is a shame. ”

"General, there are still two people who haven't been killed."

"Then keep their dogs' lives and let them go back and tell Zhao Guangyi. In this battle, nearly 600,000 brothers died tragically in Shuncheng, and the sin was on him, the faint king. Lao Tzu watched from the northwest, watching how he explained to the families of nearly 600,000 brothers. ”

“……”

The leading general looked in the right direction, led the remaining soldiers of the forbidden army, and fled westward.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

After they left, the two men who coughed up blood crawled out of the mud.

Li Jilong, Li Fang.

Those who survived the flood were left with the two of them at this moment.

Ten zhang in front of them, all of them were stained red with blood.

The prison soldier who was the first to shout was bitten to death alive.

Zhang Qixian was beaten to death by a random fist.

Although the two of them survived, they did not have a good time.

Both of them had internal injuries, Li Fang had a broken arm, and Li Jilong was missing an ear.

"Ahem, ahem...... Poof......"

Li Fang coughed, spit out a mouthful of reverse blood, and he said frantically: "Hey, hey, hey...... They are right, nearly 600,000 soldiers died in Shuncheng, all of which is our fault...... If it weren't for our self-righteousness, how could nearly 600,000 soldiers die here......"

"The old man deserves to be cut by a thousand cuts, he deserves to be cut by a thousand cuts! A person who is as sinful as the old man should be cut by a thousand knives and eaten by people......"

Li Fang roared, blood spitting out of his mouth, two lines of tears rolling down his face, and two white marks rushed out on his old face covered with mud.

Li Jilong looked at the flood behind him that was gradually becoming wider and narrower, and said in a low voice: "Even if you and I deserve to die, we can't die now." We have to rush back to Youzhou City as soon as possible and tell Your Majesty the news here.

Nearly 600,000 troops were submerged by the flood, and another 100,000 people voted for Yang Qi.

The soldiers and horses in His Majesty's hands are the two forbidden armies in the hands of Shi Laoguo Gong of the Right Army, as well as tens of thousands of guards in Youzhou City.

It is necessary to withdraw the soldiers and horses in the hands of Shi Laoguo in time and retreat to Zhending Mansion.

Although the Northern Expedition failed, the Great Song Dynasty was not easy to lose.

Let us use the residual strength to make up for our mistakes.

We cannot allow our faults to continue to grow. ”

Hearing this, Li Fang nodded solemnly.

The two helped each other ashore, and after spotting the position, they quickly fled from the place.

"Boom~"

Not long after the two of them left, hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, straddled their horses, waved the scimitars in their hands, and shouted trumpets, surging down from the north of Shuncheng.

Its momentum is no weaker than the surging flood just now.

In Jerexia's plan, the flood shock was only the first step.

The second step was a cavalry raid to kill the Song army that had survived the flood.

It was impossible for the flood to swallow the lives of nearly 600,000 Song soldiers.

Someone survived, that's for sure.

And there are certainly quite a few of them.

The purpose of the Liao army is these surviving Song troops.

In the words of Yelu Huge, that is, one more Song army will be hacked to death, and when they invade the Central Plains, they will have less resistance.

"Oh oh oh oh oh~"

The Liao soldiers shouted trumpets all the way down.

Everywhere they went, they met the surviving Song soldiers, and they all became the souls of their swords.

……

According to the momentum of the Liao army, they will rush to Youzhou City in two days.

And Li Jilong and Li Fang, who were seriously injured, grabbed their heads and rushed to Youzhou City.

After climbing the mudflat, the two men hid in a hidden pit to avoid the roaring Liao army.

After the Liao army left, Li Jilong bumped into three Liao soldiers who had fallen behind, and with his strong martial arts, he killed the Liao army that had fallen behind and snatched four horses.

The two of them rushed to Youzhou City on their horses in the starry night.

"Bang bang bang!"

Youzhou City in the early morning is surprisingly quiet.

There was a sharp knock on the door, waking up the guards at the gates.

"Who?"

"I am Li Jilong, the former general of the Chinese army!"

"I'm the Governor Li Fang!"

"There is an emergency military situation!"

“……”

There is no such thing as an emergency military situation that cannot be delayed.

After confirming that there were indeed only two people outside the city, the guards opened the door.

After confirming the identities of the two people.

The guards were shocked.

These two are both under the command of the Chinese army, commanding these hundreds of thousands of forbidden army soldiers.

Now that these two commanders didn't take a large army with them, they ran back to Youzhou City by themselves, something big must have happened.

"What happened, two adults?"

Li Fang was already in a hurry, and did not answer the guard's question, but shouted anxiously: "Send someone to send us to see Your Majesty." ”

The guards did not dare to hesitate.

immediately sent someone to carry the two of them to Zhao Guangyi's temporary palace.

That is the temple.

The two were seriously injured, and they rode their horses for a day and two nights, and their bodies and bones were about to fall apart, and they had no strength at all.

I don't know if Zhao Guangyi didn't sleep, or Zhao Guangyi got up early.

All in all, when they arrived at Zhao Guangyi's temporary palace, it was brightly lit and there was a faint sound of bamboo.

Inside the Buddha Hall.

Four women dressed like female bodhisattvas, dancing to the sound of Sanskrit.

Zhao Guangyi held a wine glass, walked among the four women, occasionally sneaked two handfuls, or danced with the women, happy as a fairy.

"Bang Dang~"

Chen Lin stumbled into the hall.

Zhao Guangyi frowned and scolded: "Bastard thing, disturb my Yaxing." ”

Chen Lin couldn't care about Zhao Guangyi's anger, he exclaimed as he ran, "Your Majesty! Incredible! Incredible! Li Jilong's army was defeated in Shuncheng, hundreds of thousands of horses were swallowed up by the flood, and only Li Jilong and Li Fang survived and fled back to Youzhou City to report the news. ”

"Smack!"

The jade cup in Zhao Guangyi's hand fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.

He trembled, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "How could it be ......?"

"Poof!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was furious, and a mouthful of reverse blood gushed up his throat and was squirted out by him.

"Your Majesty!"

Chen Lin quickly rushed to Zhao Guangyi's side and supported Zhao Guangyi, who was about to fall.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Call the Imperial Doctor! Call the Imperial Doctor! ”

Zhao Guangyi didn't know where the strength came from, so he grabbed Chen Lin, blood was bubbling from his mouth, and he said in a trembling voice: "I can't call the imperial doctor, let these singers go down first and help me clean up." Let those two sinners in, and Shun was sent to invite Zhao Pu and Cao Bin...... And Yang Yansi! ”
