Chapter 557 Tianshui Breaks the Male Soldiers

The task of digging the river this time is much heavier than before, and the water flow at the intersection of the three rivers can be imagined. Digging the river is a technical job, not to say that digging openings will work, you dig the buckle in the dug, the river water is irrigated, to the distance, the water potential will be weak, what other effect? What Yue Fei is doing now is to divert water, first lead the water of the three rivers to the Liuli River, wait for the water level of the Liuli River to rise, and then open the opening dug in advance, so that the water of the four rivers will all flow eastward, and the scene will be spectacular.

Liu Li River is located in the territory of Zhuozhou, at this time the Liao army threatened the Baigou River, but nearly 60,000 troops were all concentrated in Zhuozhou, the south of the Yongding River, if the Liu Li River burst, the water is bound to take advantage of the terrain to the east, sweeping the Liao army station. Of course, if it was just the water of the Liu Li River, it was estimated that it would not have much power when it arrived at the Liao army station, but this time Yue Fei borrowed the water of the three rivers.

On the night of July 13, for some reason, Xiao Qian couldn't sleep anyway, and there was always a faint uneasiness in his heart, looking at the bright moon in the sky that was almost round, his face was full of worry. Now that the soldiers and horses of Da Liao are threatening the Baigou River, Tian Hu and Tian Biao are also taking action step by step, and the shape is becoming more and more unfavorable to Zhao Yougong, but this cunning man like a fox has not done anything, just to guard the Baigou River. For Zhao Yougong, Xiao Qian already has some psychological shadows, and always feels that this person does not follow common sense in the use of soldiers, and often buries tricks in secret, could it be that he used some tricks this time?

Xiao Qian's expectations were not bad at all, Zhao Yougong did use a yin trick, and there was no merciful trick. That night, Yue Fei opened the mouth of the Liu Li River, and the water poured out. With the momentum of devouring the sky and destroying the earth, he rushed towards the Yongding River. At this time, Zhao Yougong also asked people to prepare all kinds of things on the water. Planks, improvised rafts. In short, as long as it can be docked on the water without sinking, it is used. His Royal Highness Zhao gave a death order to ask for these things, and the generals thought that they were going to cross the river and fight with the Liao, and in the end, Yang Weizhong even used the marching cauldron, which was nearly one zhang in diameter, and it was definitely not a problem for two people to sit inside.

In the middle of the night, all the soldiers and horses on the south bank of the Baigou River stood on the bank and prepared to cross the river, but His Royal Highness Zhao was very calm. If the order is not given for a long time, the generals also dare not ask if they want to.

At the beginning of the 14th of July, Xiao Qian had just laid down, but he was irritated by a commotion, and before he got up and went out, his soldiers ran in in a panic, "General, it's not good, there is a lot of water, and the high slope in the west has been flooded."

"What?" Xiao Qian was shocked, except for the Baigou River and the Yongding River in this area, the water was rising. Where else is there water? But Xiao Qian didn't think that this soldier was lying, it must be Zhao Yougong who had made some conspiracy. Yes, the western slope, which means that the water comes from the west. West? As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Gan's whole body was full of cold hairs standing up, it was the Sanshui River, it must be the Sanshui River, what the water level of the Sanshui River was, Xiao Qian knew something, so he didn't care about dressing, and rushed out with a knife, "Quick, send an order to all departments, give up a qiē baggage, and run towards the north with all your might!" ”

Xiao Qian's order can be said to be the most correct decision at the moment, the Baigou River area is high in the north and low in the south, and the east and west are high in the west and low in the east, so it is best to flee to the north, and it is best to escape to Zhuozhou. Xiao Gan's order is naturally good, but there are nearly 60,000 troops stationed here, which can be transmitted in a short time, not to mention that water and fire are ruthless, never waiting for anyone, just a quarter of an hour, the water swept the barracks, countless landlubbers Liao soldiers were frightened like earth, under the moonlight, they panicked, instinctively avoided the water and ran, so most of the Liao soldiers went against Xiao Gan's wishes, they chose to run to the south.

Outside Wuzhou City last year, the crying father who was not flooded by the Gray River was called his mother, but he didn't expect that after a year, the same fate fell on Xiao Qian. In the face of the big water, even if Xiao Qian has all kinds of ability, he can't show it, and at this time, Xiao Qian can't say anything except admiring Zhao Yougong's ruthlessness. The flood swept a large area of the southeast plain of Zhuozhou, and the soldiers and horses of Daliao were bound to suffer, but the people living in this area were also not better, you know, there are many descendants of the Han people in the south here.

Under the bright moonlight, the water irrigated the entire north bank of the Baigou River, and in a short period of time, this fertile land was turned into a thousand miles of water, and the Liao soldiers were washed away, and most of the people who lived nearby were drowned in their sleep. Under the water, the good people and the bad people, the Liao people and the Han people, all suffered. It is said that fire and water are ruthless and hurt the peace, Zhao Yougong naturally knows this, but she still did it, in the face of war, there are no civilians. The sentence "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world" has already revealed a lot of truths.

The flood swept in and swept south into the Baigou River, and at the same time many Liao soldiers were also brought into the Baigou River, running east along the turbulent current.

Where does the water come from? Why is there water? Countless Great Song soldiers have been stunned, in the face of such a ruthless flood, the people who are suffering are afraid, and the people who are watching from the sidelines will also be afraid. Zhao Yougong had compassion, but he wouldn't put it on the battlefield, looking at it, he waved his hand and said, "The whole army crosses the river, and when you see the living, you will kill them, and not a single prisoner will be left!" ”

Zhao Yougong is not afraid of being said to be inhumane, this time, he will not ask for any Liao prisoners, because he will have to face Tian Hu and Tian Biao next, raising a group of Liao prisoners, isn't he making trouble for himself? And this time, the main thing is to eliminate the combatable soldiers under Yeluchun to the greatest extent.

Under an order, the generals received the order, so countless Song soldiers and horses crossed the Da Ling Bridge and the White Jade Bridge, and rushed to the north bank with a variety of tools. Some Liao soldiers climbed into the trees and hid, but when the Great Song boat came, they could only die under the arrows. From the beginning of the Mao Dynasty, the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty rushed to the north bank of the Baigou River, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of those Liao soldiers, because His Royal Highness Zhao did not leave prisoners, so even if those Liao soldiers desperately begged for mercy, it was still useless. This slaughter lasted until noon, and so far, the nearly 60,000 troops sent by Yeluchun have been killed and wounded, and the southeast of Zhuozhou is full of corpses, and the scorching sun covers this place, like a hell on earth.

The Liao army was defeated, and Xiao Gan was also captured alive by Gao Chong, when Xiao Qian was escorted to the south of Baiyu Bridge. Zhao Yougong looked at Xiao Qian. Just asked lightly. "General Xiao, to descend or not to surrender?"

Xiao Qian's eyes widened, grinned, and spit out, "Dog thief, let Xiao surrender, you are dreaming, hehe." Zhao dog thief, you can do it, a big flood, all the soldiers and people were buried, it is really ruthless"

Zhao Yougong turned a deaf ear to Xiao Qian's sarcasm, waved his hand and sneered, "Don't fall? It's okay, pull it down, and give him a whole corpse. Throw the corpse to the north! ”

"Whoa!" Yang Zaixing arched his hand and dragged Xiao Qian into the distance. Not long after, Xiao Qian's body was thrown to the north of Baigou Bridge, and the water level had dropped at this time, so he was not afraid that the corpse would be washed into the Baigou River again.

After the defeat of the Liao soldiers, Zhao Yougong did not stop for a while, and immediately ordered Yang Zaixing and Shi Wengong to lead the troops to raid Gaoyang City, and at the same time the army gathered and besieged Xiongzhou. At this time, Tian Biao was stationed in Xiongzhou City, when he learned that the Liao army on the north bank of the Baigou River was defeated, Yang Zaixing and Shi Wengong had already led the cavalry to raid Gaoyang City, although they failed to take Gaoyang, but blocked the southern gateway of Gaoyang, Zhukou Town, that is to say, Tian Biao just wanted to retreat south to Gaoyang, and it was impossible to retreat to Hejian Mansion.

In Nanjing Xijin Mansion, Ye Luchun's face was pale, there was still a trace of blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and even the back of his right hand was dripping with blood. Just now, he smashed his fist on the glass bowl, and the sharp glass piece pierced the back of his hand. Ye Luchun didn't know why he was defeated again and again, and he didn't know why even people like Xiao Qian couldn't bring a little trouble to Zhao Yougong, it was a good strategy to coerce Baigouhe, but the best strategy became a joke in front of Zhao Yougong. Ye Luchun wanted to take revenge, but he couldn't, in just half a month, he had lost nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, if he sent troops to fight hard with Zhao Yougong, in the end Zhao Yougong didn't know if he died, but his Ye Luchun's fate would not be too good. Now that the Jurchens occupy Liaoyang, they are eyeing Nanjing, and the Great Liao Majesty in the north is also staring, as long as he Yeluchun does not have enough troops to compliment Nanjing, the Jurchens or Yeluhongji will definitely attack in a big way, and at that time he Yeluchun will definitely die in front of Zhao Yougong.

In the first war, his vitality was greatly damaged, Ye Luchun closed his eyes in pain, the Nanjing force he had been operating for many years was made full of holes by Zhao Yougong, unwilling, really unwilling. However, Yeluchun is a hero after all, and he will definitely endure it when he should be patient, so even if he gritted his teeth with hatred, he still gave an order, and all departments collected the corpses and dealt with them quickly to prevent the plague from occurring, and at the same time, Buqiong replaced Xiao Gan and guarded the first line of the Yongding River. Ye Luchun gave up Zhuozhou, it seems to be cowardly, but in fact it is the wisest choice, now the army has lost more than half, the troops are insufficient, so they can only shrink their forces and defend the core area of Nanjing, as for the place near the Baigou River in the south, if Zhao Yougong is interested, give it to him.

Ye Luchun was so generous, Zhao Yougong was rarely polite, and he didn't send a single soldier to Zhuozhou. In doing so, it is also helpless, although the city of Zhuozhou is thick and the city is thick, but it is a little far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and the transportation of grain and grass is inconvenient.

Zhao Yougong has no interest in Zhuozhou at all, let alone stupid enough to take the initiative to jump into the big pit, his only thought now is to figure out how to take down Xiongzhou and Gaoyang City. Zhao Yougong is not worried that Tian Biao will have any reinforcements, just what he did before, Tian Hu will still send him reinforcements?

Although you don't have to worry about reinforcements, it's not so easy to take Xiongzhou City, in order to resist the Liao, the Great Song Dynasty built Xiongzhou City and Gaoyang City in the north as solid, and now it's your turn to attack Xiongzhou City, and it's really a headache. Attacking Xiongzhou hard, it is estimated that the loss of troops will be inevitable, but Zhao Yougong feels sorry for these soldiers and horses under his hands, how can he do this kind of thing of hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred?

Since the siege of Xiongzhou by the imperial army, Tian Biao has panicked, there is a way that his family knows his own affairs, and after breaking with his eldest brother, the soldiers and horses under his command have become panicked, especially some leaders, who have already given birth to the idea of running elsewhere. This time, he took the opportunity of the confrontation between the imperial army and the Liao, and wanted to defeat the imperial court soldiers and horses, so as to boost morale and consolidate power. But who would have thought that the originally unstoppable Liao soldiers would become so fragile in front of Zhao Yougong, not to mention defeated, and they were annihilated.

Outside Xiongzhou City, Zhao Yougong sat in front of the bonfire, constantly picking up the flames in front of him, facing the Jiancheng Xiongzhou, he was also at a loss, and the wooden woman also knew that Zhao Yougong had a headache for Xiongzhou, so he held a bowl of cold water and whispered, "Don't worry, there will always be a way, no matter how difficult this Xiongzhou is, it can be more difficult to break than Wuzhou City?" Besides, Tian Biao has a group of rabble, so you can't find a way to start with these people? ”

Mu Woman's unintentional words reminded Zhao Yougong that now there are not only Tian Biao's henchmen in Xiongzhou City, but also many people who have put their minds to it. After looking down and thinking about it, an idea popped up in his mind, only to see His Royal Highness Zhao laughing, holding the little face of the wooden woman and kissing it heavily, "Wan'er, you are so smart!"
